Chapter 783 Return to Beijing
Early in the morning, six o'clock.
The morning sun has illuminated the entire campus, and the freshmen spontaneously put on their military training camouflage uniforms and went out.
They will go for a morning run.
Morning run, in fact, like folding quilts, there is no practical significance, but I hope that students can develop a good habit of getting up early.
Running is boring.
The instructor's command, the students' playfulness, the loud whistle, and the chaotic steps.
After the morning run, it is time to have breakfast.
The breakfast of Southwest Associated University is very rich, with steamed buns, steamed buns, noodles, corn, sweet potatoes, soy milk, milk, goat milk, and peanut soup.
Of course, if you want to drink porridge, you can also choose white rice porridge, sweet potato porridge, and millet porridge.
Choose whatever you want to eat, and then swipe your student ID, employee ID or instructor ID at the last exit, and you're done.
No one will take more, just take as much as they eat.
It's not that everyone is so good, but once they are criticized and educated by those aunties with red armbands on their arms, no one will waste.
There was a person who wasted food repeatedly. The aunt criticized and educated him repeatedly but he still didn't change. Then she reported it to the school. The student was sent to a farm to raise pigs and vegetables for a semester, and the problem was corrected.
Not only students will not waste, but faculty and instructors will not waste either.
Almost all faculty and staff of the school will choose to bring their families to the cafeteria to eat, and they don't have to get up early to cook.
Only on holidays will families cook for themselves.
Liu Tao did not eat in the headquarters cafeteria today, but went to the cafeteria of Southwest Associated University. He randomly selected a cafeteria and went in.
Southwest Associated University has more than one cafeteria, but the cafeterias are similar.
He always comes to the cafeteria of Southwest Associated University to eat in person every once in a while, not only to eat, but also to understand in person.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, eating is not a small problem.
Whether the school is running well can be seen from eating.
Almost all the funds of Southwest Associated University come from Panshan Group, and Liu Tao naturally does not want these funds to be wasted.
It doesn't matter that Southwest Associated University has the highest school funding in the country, Panshan Group can afford it, but the money spent must be effective.
He lined up for breakfast, which was simple: a cup of milk, a meat bun, two pieces of corn, and a fried dough stick, and then swiped his employee ID at the exit.
Then Liu Tao found an empty seat and sat down. There were seats for four and two in the cafeteria. The seat Liu Tao chose happened to be a four-person seat, and three girls were sitting in the other three seats.
These three girls were wearing military training camouflage uniforms. Just looking at their clothes, you can tell that they are freshmen this year.
The three girls recognized Liu Tao and immediately became restrained.
Liu Tao was friendly and took the initiative to chat with them, and soon the three girls were no longer restrained.
This chat lasted for half an hour.
At about nine o'clock, walking on the playground, you can see teams standing at attention and marching in formation everywhere.
Compared with the first day, it has been much better.
In Yunnan Province, military training has been carried out since elementary school, but it is not necessarily the case in other places. Even now, not all colleges and universities are conducting military training.
There are only more than 100 colleges and universities in the country that are conducting military training, and some of them only last for two weeks.
This also makes the students of Southwest Associated University perform differently and unevenly.
Especially students from Hong Kong and Taiwan and overseas Chinese students are much worse in this regard. They are much less aware of obedience.
As for some white students, they are even more miserable.
On this day, Liu Tao received a call and returned to Beijing on his own plane.
But Sultan is coming to China soon.
As an old friend, he naturally needs to receive him.
Many things of Panshan Group in the Middle East also need the help of Saudi Arabia.
More friends, more roads.
Maybe someday, this friend can help.
And now that the international crude oil price has been pushed down to below US$25 per barrel, Liu Tao also wants to import more crude oil at this time as a strategic reserve oil.
Although the construction of the oil depot cannot be completed overnight, everything must be prepared in advance.
Now the situation in the Middle East is becoming more peaceful with the end of the Gulf War, but the situation in southern Europe is full of gunpowder.
So far, the Soviet Union and the United States have not achieved constructive results.
The Soviet Union accused the United States of implementing the "Vanta Plan" on the Soviet economy and destroying the Soviet economy; the United States did not accept this at all, explaining that it was just the private behavior of Vanta and others, not the behavior of the US government.
The two sides had a lot of fun in the war of words.
The confrontation was staged in an all-round way, and the only thing left was to really fight.
It was clearly felt that there might be a misfire at any time, but there was no misfire.
On the contrary, Yugoslavia, located in the Balkan Peninsula in southern Europe, is getting more and more troubled, and it is afraid that it will not survive this year.
The eight federal units of Yugoslavia include six republics: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and two autonomous provinces in Serbia: Kosovo and Vojvodina.
Yugoslavia is now facing numerous internal and external contradictions. After Tito's death, there is no strong man coming down from the sky to integrate all parties in Yugoslavia.
In recent years, although Yugoslavia has been doing well relying on oil revenue, it should be noted that the oil in Yugoslavia is unevenly distributed, which inevitably leads to uneven distribution of benefits.
In Japan, since the collapse of the real estate and stock market bubbles, the Japanese economy has been hit hard. Coupled with the huge expenditures in the Gulf War, Japan's economy has been in a mess.
The yen is still appreciating against the US dollar. It's not that the yen doesn't want to depreciate against the US dollar, but it can't do it.
Liu Tao returned to Beijing in advance, but he was preparing to receive Prince Sultan.
The meeting between the two will be a private meeting to talk about some things that are not suitable to be put on the table.
Liu Tao also hopes to get more orders from Saudi Arabia and attract Saudi Arabia to increase investment in China, because now China still lacks funds for development.
And Saudi Arabia is a big tycoon!
Even if the international crude oil price is lowered to US$25 per barrel, Saudi Arabia still makes a lot of profit.
To be honest, in recent years, everyone has been resentful of the United States for starting large-scale money printing, and the flood of dollars has flooded the world, causing the dollar to depreciate sharply. If resentment could kill people, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Americans would have been killed long ago.
But on the other hand, oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia have been earning a lot of dollars continuously. During the Iran-Iraq period, Saudi Arabia's annual oil revenue was no less than 60 billion US dollars, and even at its peak, the annual oil revenue exceeded 80 billion US dollars.
The cost here is not much, because the cost of oil extraction in Saudi Arabia is very low. To put it in an exaggerated way, if you take a hoe and dig into the sand, oil will spray out.
It is conceivable how much profit Saudi Arabia's oil exports have.
If Saudi Arabia distributes oil profits to all citizens, then Saudi citizens can live the best life in the world.
