Chapter 1102 The Situation Remains Severe

. Ou Ming introduced the Euro banknotes and coins. From then on, the Euro became the only currency of 11 countries including Belgium, Germany, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Spain. On the same day, China and Chinese Taipei officially joined the World Trade Organization... Success.

On January 5, a 15-year-old flight trainee crashed a small plane into a building in Tampa, Florida. This caused some people to panic about terrorist attacks.

This year has been a bad year for the US economy. Millions of Americans have not received a pay raise, but a tight life. Financial frauds have been exposed one after another, some large companies have collapsed, and the reputation of American companies has suffered a heavy blow.

The economy is sluggish and the government's leadership ability is questionable.

US Treasury Secretary O'Neill and White House Chief Economic Advisor Lawrence Lindsay were both fired, and the occurrence of corporate financial frauds also forced Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Pitt to retire.

Whether the US economy can turn around and see the light at the end of the tunnel remains to be seen. What people are waiting for now is Bush's new stimulus plan to be launched in January. Newsweek summed up the situation by saying, "Fool, it's all because of the economy.

The bankruptcy storm is also getting worse. WorldCom, with total assets of $100 billion, filed for bankruptcy in court, and unwillingly became known as the largest bankruptcy case in US history. United Airlines has been working hard, but even if it has tried its best, it still cannot avoid the fate of filing for bankruptcy.

One after another, once-glorious executives have been embroiled in existing ethical issues, and some have even been accused of illegal behavior. The divorce case of Jack Welch, former president of General Electric, has become the target of media pursuit. His luxurious life, including the use of General Electric for life, ’s planes and expensive apartments have had a negative impact on its image.

Bioterrorism and the outbreak of West Nile virus have made Americans feel that their lives are so insecure. But for the whole world, the millions of people infected with HIV in Africa and Asia are even more shocking, and hunger will threaten the lives of millions of people.

Fearing that terrorists may use smallpox to attack, the US government has increased its storage of smallpox vaccines. US President Bush announced that US soldiers would be vaccinated against smallpox, and Bush himself was also vaccinated against smallpox.

Or the feelings of ordinary people about this year started with Dao Lang’s "The First Snow of Four", but as a senior executive, there are many challenges. Even Fan Wubing, who has always been happy and free, feels the most There are really too many things happening recently.

The entertainment industry has always been a place of controversy. Last year's "Meteor Garden" was just a temporary group title, but because of its popularity, it created a miracle of a group. They led to the emergence of a group of flower boys,

making people marvel at the arrival of the era of male beauty.

The songs of the new generation of creative little king Jay Chou have also created very good results, but this year's stereotyped style always gives people a feeling of being in a low ebb, and does not show his strength at all. It seems that it will take time for the little king to grow into a king.

The music is called garbage, and Jay Chou is called a genius, but they can both become popular. It is obvious how wise the old saying is that it is difficult to satisfy everyone. People in the entertainment industry have diverse tastes. Either you are talented. Or you are handsome, You are cool and you have personality. If you don't have these, then as long as you are disgusting enough, you can still stand out. If you don't have advantages, then the disadvantages can be packaged as advantages. As long as there is one advantage, you can win the market, but this is not a long-term solution after all. To truly win word of mouth, you still need to work hard.

"My Sassy Girl" is popular all over Asia, not only making Jun Ji-hyun and others famous. It also made the Korean wave completely frozen in Asia, so that many movies in Asia are labeled with the Sassy Girl, and even many couples in real life have learned the style of the movie.

Zhang Paizhi's "The Lion Roars in the East" also hits the Chinese version of the Sassy Girl. Although the plot of this movie is far-fetched, the box office is still very good. It seems that barbarism is really reasonable.

From Fan Wubing's feeling. Now the relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry is likely to be subverted. After this movie. In reality, the term "wild girlfriend" has also become popular. Although Zhang Yimou's "Waiting for Men" dramas have been released one after another, which has made men excited, in the entertainment industry, this practice of women suppressing men will probably continue forever.

It was during the Chinese New Year this year. Fan Wubing and Shen Ying went to visit their father-in-law Shen Peiming, and the old man was in a good mood. It was obviously very good to be able to call the shots in the rare earth industry. The profits in recent years have been quite good, so he bought a special bulletproof Bentley for Fan Wubing.

Although Fan Wubing did not have any special feelings about a Bentley, his father-in-law, who always had a mediocre opinion of him, suddenly gave him such a generous gift, which made him feel favored.

The elder sister Fan Ting has completely faded out of all the management of Fan's Investment Group. In addition to taking dividends, she has devoted herself to charity. At the same time, she was awarded the position of visiting professor by Peking University, and from time to time she went to Peking University to give lectures for her younger brothers and sisters.

Naturally, when a rich and influential senior like her comes to give a lecture, there must be a lot of people who respond. The school has never held such an event. It will arouse great attention from all walks of life, and it is no less than having lectures by those masters of Chinese studies, or even worse.

Brother Fan Kang started to toss his Internet companies at the beginning of the new year, because Fan Wubing made it very clear to him that the key to whether Internet companies can turn around depends on their operations in a few years, so Fan Kang used his own in multiple ways. The major shareholder status in Internet companies has begun to make some arrangements in operations, increase the role of the consortium, and strengthen the operating characteristics of each website. After such a look, there has been obvious improvement, at least for several major portal websites. The stock price has begun to recover, and the funds invested previously have returned nearly ten times.

Cross-Strait relations have also made breakthrough progress. In late February, with special approval from the central government, the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha from Famen Temple in Fufeng, Shaanxi, which is hailed as the ninth wonder of the world by the Buddhist community, were escorted by Buddhists from both sides of the Strait. Arriving in Taipei via Hong Kong, more than 100,000 Buddhist believers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait were attracted to worship along the way.

On February 26, Kinmen and Xiamen simultaneously launched high-altitude fireworks to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

The next day, the Zhongzhou Ship belonging to the Xiamen Steamship Corporation departed from Xiamen Tongyi Wharf and sailed directly into Kinmen Liaoluo Wharf. Since the creation of the cross-strait mini-three links, a large-scale cargo ship has been approved by the relevant departments on both sides of the strait to carry cargo across the Kinmen. A new record for direct docking in Xiamen waters.

As for Fan Wubing, at the request of his mother, this year's education support investment projects are being reviewed to determine the amount and specific projects of Fan Investment Group's assistance to domestic education this year.

In fact, this work under the leadership of Fan Wubing is basically based on rules. The annual investment in Project Hope and the investment in assisting poor college students are relatively stable, basically based on the number of people. Currently, his focus has been Begin to tilt toward vocational education.

Most vocational education is actually what we used to call secondary vocational schools or technical schools.

Affected by the general climate of pursuing higher education diplomas, studying in technical secondary schools has become a helpless choice. It is also very difficult to find a job after graduation. Therefore, it has been ignored by students and society. The number of technical secondary school students also began to shrink in 1999. This year has down to six million people.

At the same time, the state's support has gradually decreased, and the annual increase is only a few cents.

100 million.

Therefore, technical secondary schools have become the school with the lowest proportion of total investment and the slowest growth among all levels above primary school.

The state's investment in technical schools is even less. Among the more than 1.5 million students in school, only one-third of the students enjoy state investment, and the rest are personal and social investments. Social investment is decreasing at an annual rate of 11%. However, the school's demand for funds is the same. Without the support of the state and society, it can only significantly increase the fees for students. This year, the average personal investment of students has exceeded 6,000 yuan.

Fan Wubing was very dissatisfied with this.

Logically speaking, in terms of investment in education, although the state does not have the ability to make more compensation, or is unwilling to make more compensation, it should not do nothing when it comes to guiding the direction of education.

After all, today's higher education has entered a useless stage. On the one hand, there is an extreme shortage of skilled workers, and the majority of employers are seriously hungry for high-level skilled workers. On the other hand, the majority of students and parents are consciously guided to insist on There was a swarm of people on the university campus, which had exceeded its capacity limit.

The consequence of these two phenomena is that there are gaps in the basic links of the manufacturing industry. Many high-skilled jobs cannot be taken by anyone. At the same time, it has caused the proliferation of college graduates and the decline in the quality of higher education. Employers are not interested in flashy college graduates. The student couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

Generally speaking, it is caused by the industrialization of education. If something that is supposed to be a net investment must be made to make money, problems will obviously arise.

What Fan Wubing has to do now is to reverse this unfavorable situation as soon as possible through personal efforts, continue to increase the enrollment scale of his Fan Investment Group's vocational and technical schools in various places, and cultivate talents in the digital age. Skilled workers are developed to adapt to the current situation.

After all, the current Fan Investment Group requires a huge number of skilled workers, and they need to do this just for their own sake. What's more, this is a job with great impact and far-reaching significance.

The situation facing Fan Wubing again is still very serious.
