Chapter 440 Gwadar Port
The capital is also getting hot.
The summer heat has begun to descend on the capital.
There are always many people in Shichahai on weekends, even in midsummer. After four o'clock, there are many people in Shichahai.
In the bird house, Liu Tao is drinking coffee with his friend "Bahati".
"Liu, my friend, you mentioned last time that we are very interested in developing Gwadar Port." Bahati said, "But how can we cooperate to develop Gwadar Port?"
Gwadar Port is an important port in Pakistan. In 1958, Pakistan purchased the Gwadar area from Oman for 3 million pounds. Gwadar Port is located in the south of Gwadar City in the southwest of Balochistan Province, Pakistan. It is a deep-water port.
Pakistan's coastline is about 700 kilometers long in total, with only two important military ports: Karachi Port and Gwadar Port. Karachi Port is on the east coast, close to the Indian side. Gwadar is on the west coast, close to the Iranian side.
Gwadar Port is only 120 kilometers away from the Iranian border. It is located at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, facing the Arabian Sea of the Indian Ocean to the south. It is of great strategic significance. It is the throat of several important sea routes from Africa, Europe, through the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Persian Gulf to East Asia and the Pacific.
As early as 1964, Pakistan decided to build Gwadar into a port, but it has never been implemented.
Liu Tao is naturally very covetous of Gwadar Port. As long as the two sides reach a cooperation, he will have ports in Cambodia, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Tanzania.
Liu Tao did not eat alone, but adopted the "win-win cooperation" model. Pakistan provided land and people, and he provided technology and funds. The two sides jointly established a joint venture to develop Gwadar Port.
"Believe me, as long as this project is completed, it will bring a lot of benefits to Pakistan. We are friends, China and Pakistan are friends, and our cooperation is based on "win-win cooperation"!" Liu Tao said.
That is to say, in this era, if you wait until ten years later, it will be difficult to take over this port.
Because such important places are often easy to attract the attention of the international community.
"And with our help, you will definitely be able to defeat the Indian army." Liu Tao said.
Bahati nodded heavily.
Karachi is very close to the Indian border. In case of emergency, it is easy to be blocked by the Indian Navy. For Pakistan, it is very necessary to disperse the Pakistani logistics concentrated in one place.
Just like this time, although four Indian Navy warships were destroyed with the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles, the Indian Navy warships dared not approach.
However, facing the Indian Navy warships far away from the coastline and outside the attack range of the "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles, Pakistan was powerless, and the Port of Karachi was still in a semi-blocked state.
Of course, such a big thing cannot be settled in these two contacts. Now it is in the contact stage, and more details have to be negotiated in detail by professional teams.
After the settlement of the Gwadar Port, Liu Tao's mood suddenly became very good.
Not to mention the military role of Gwadar Port, the economic rate of return alone will be extremely amazing.
Once Gwadar Port is completed, it will not only drive the economic development of the poor and backward Balochistan Province and even the entire Pakistan, but also become the nearest seaport for landlocked Central Asian countries such as Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, and undertake the sea transportation tasks of these countries connecting Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq and even the western provinces of China, and become a maritime transit station for regional transshipment, warehousing and transportation.
The 99-year port operation rights and the operation rights of the surrounding land, just the economic development at that time, relying on real estate development, are enough to pay back the investment, and can also make a lot of money.
It can be said that no matter how you look at this project, it is a sure win.
To be honest, Liu Tao has to thank this era and his third brother.
Otherwise, he would have forgotten about Gwadar Port.
"Brother~~" Liu Ziyu shouted happily when he saw Liu Tao.
The 21-year-old Liu Ziyu has grown into a slender and graceful girl, about 164 cm tall, which is considered tall for girls in this era. Wearing jeans and a T-shirt, she looks very fashionable, youthful and beautiful. With her slim figure and delicate facial features, she will probably attract 100% attention when she walks on the street.
Liu Tao sighed in his heart, and he didn't know whether Liu Ziyu had attracted the attention of those yellow-haired people.
Liu Ziyu stepped forward and took Liu Tao's hand, "Brother, I will definitely finish all the courses next semester, so you can't cheat then."
"So fast?" Liu Tao was a little surprised, "As long as you finish all the courses, you can graduate early, but for me, it will take eight years to study for a master's and doctoral degree, unless you meet my requirements and graduate early."
He knew that Liu Ziyu was talking about studying for a master's degree here.
To him, it is naturally not just a master's degree. His requirement for students is to study for a master's and doctoral degree for eight years.
Eight years is just an approximate number. If the student is really good and reaches the level, Liu Tao will not hold him back from graduating.
And if the level does not meet Liu Tao's requirements after eight years, then Liu Tao will not agree to his graduation.
He is not a water master's or water doctoral degree.
"Brother, can you apply for another one?" Liu Ziyu asked cautiously, biting her teeth.
Liu Tao was a little curious. Liu Ziyu had been testing the water since last year.
As if thinking of something, Liu Tao was a little surprised: "Ziyu, you are not in love at school, are you?"
No matter how you think, this is the only possibility.
Liu Ziyu's face suddenly turned red, even her neck turned red.
"How can I fall in love? It's a classmate in our class, a girl. She is very talented and studies very hard." Liu Ziyu explained quickly.
"So, when the time comes, do a set of papers. If the score reaches the line, I will give you an interview opportunity." Liu Tao did not agree directly.
Liu Tao has very high requirements for his students. Not everyone can be his student.
He wants to cultivate people with great potential and cultivate them into top talents.
Everyone's talent is limited. It is said that Einstein's famous saying: Genius is 99% sweat + 1% talent. Everyone often emphasizes 99% sweat to prove the importance of hard work. But in fact, in the top field, talent is more important!
Because top talents do not do what most people can do, but to solve things that most people cannot do and problems that cannot be solved.
This is the role of top talents.
"Okay!" Liu Ziyu showed a delighted look.
Her brother is the real boss, so if she wants to find a mentor, she should find a real boss, so that she can learn more knowledge.
If Liu Ziyu is given a choice, she will choose Liu Tao without hesitation. She thinks that any normal person will make the same choice.
Although none of their textbooks are compiled by Liu Tao.
But Liu Tao's attainments in the field of computer science are definitely the best she has ever seen.
