The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 481: Changes in College Students
The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

The launching ceremony of the 'Qujing' frigate was held on time.

The national flag was raised and the national anthem was sung as the majestic national anthem was played, with the song resounding throughout the Yangcheng Shipyard.

Everyone was excited.

Building a large surface ship is not easy.

The launching ceremony is a very important milestone in the construction process of large surface ships.

The 180 crew members were all very excited.

Because this means that when it comes to service, they will be involved in the "Qujing" frigate.

Liu Tao clapped softly.

Now that the construction of the warship's hull has been completed, it can leave the dock for outfitting. Although it still has a long way to go before it can be put into service, there are still many things that have not been installed. These will have to wait until after it is launched to be outfitted. After outfitting, it will also have to conduct sea trials, related tests and other tests, but this will only take a year.

One year later, the 'Qujing' will be put into service and delivered to the navy.

Finally, amid everyone's cheers and applause, the frigate "Qujing" entered the water. The waves were huge and even quite a few people were splashed by the sea water, but no one cared. There was only excitement and excitement.

They even regard the water as a symbol of joy.

Just as the "Qujing" frigate was launched, the sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly became gloomy and it began to rain heavily. The rain poured on the "Qujing" frigate, as if bathing it.

At noon, a canteen in the shipyard had prepared a sumptuous meal, and even some rare wine.

This is a celebration banquet for the successful launching of the 'Qujing' frigate!
This is a celebratory drink!
Liu Tao also attended the celebration banquet and drank the celebratory wine!

Next, Yangcheng Shipyard will build the fourth Type 054 frigate, and Dalian Shipyard will build the fifth Type 05 frigate.

Now we can only build them one ship at a time, which is still a long way from being able to produce dumplings at full capacity.

Pengcheng is developing at an increasingly fast pace. Liu Tao feels as if he is in a different world after not being here for such a short time.

Tall buildings are rising from the ground!

Roads are being built!
If you were to ask which city in the country is the most vibrant, it would be Shenzhen.

This is the fastest growing, most exploratory, and most adventurous city in the country.

At the same time, it is also a testing point for reform and opening up, as well as a business card.

I don’t know how many people came to Pengcheng to work hard and make a fortune.

Liu Tao stayed in Pengcheng for two days and then went to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is becoming more and more prosperous.

Hong Kong deserves the title of one of the Four Asian Tigers.

The four Asian tigers were dominated by agriculture and light industry before the 70s. Since the 70s, their economic development has been rapid. They took advantage of the opportunity of developed countries to transfer labor-intensive industries to developing countries, attracted large amounts of foreign capital and technology, took advantage of the local cheap and good labor force, adjusted their economic development strategies in a timely manner, and developed rapidly, becoming developed countries and regions in Asia after Japan. Their successful economic development process and experience are typical examples of development economics research.

Among them, Hong Kong is the most special.

Today, Hong Kong is the most important window for China to communicate with the world, and is also a transit point for goods, which has brought a lot of opportunities to Hong Kong. At the same time, with the continuous efforts in recent years, Hong Kong has changed its industrial structure, making it a pillar industry. Liu Tao came this time because the company in Hong Kong needed to hold a board meeting to determine the time for the shareholders' meeting.

Shareholders' meetings are basically scheduled in the first half of the year and are very important for stimulating the stock market and stabilizing investors' confidence.

Liu Tao comes to Hong Kong at least once a year, once for a board meeting and once for a shareholders meeting.

Of course, there is one more thing, which is to strengthen the strength of Hong Kong security companies.

The Peninsula Hotel, where Liu Tao stayed.

Inside the suite, TVB News was reporting news about Annan.

This news happened a few days ago.

However, Le Van Run had fallen ill, and he had lost his power to control the various political forces within the Annan Party, becoming a leader in name only.

As for Le Van Run, he could be said to be the undisputed number two figure in Annan before. Even in the few years before Hu Chi Ming's death, Hu Chi Ming had been gradually marginalized by Le Van Run and became a symbolic figure.

Unfortunately, his biggest mistake was to completely turn to the Soviet Union. Although he received a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the Soviet Union, he also handed over the deep-water port of Cam Ranh Bay in Annan to the Soviet Union.

The final result was a bad beating, the dream of the "Indochina Federation" was shattered, and control over Laos and Cambodia was lost, and now a large number of strategic locations have been lost.

Now the result is already very obvious, and various internal factions have broken with it.

Liu Tao thought about it and it seemed that Li Wenrun had died this year, but he couldn't remember when he died.

When this news ended, the news about the graduates in the country was reported.

It is said that college students in the 1980s are the pride of the nation, but the opportunities that society gives to college students who graduated in the early 1980s and to those who are just starting college now are very different.

In the early 1980s, the country had just ended a chaotic era, and there was a serious talent gap in all aspects. Therefore, the first few batches of graduates after the resumption of enrollment were in a state of supply exceeding demand, and countless high-quality positions were waiting for them to fill.

But since 1982, hundreds of thousands of college students have graduated from school every year. From the reform and opening up to the present, the country has trained a total of more than one million highly educated talents. Even if there were more opportunities, they have been divided up, or in other words, there are not so many high-quality jobs anymore.

Compared with the entire Chinese population, today's college students are still at the upper end of society. After graduation, they may be much better off than those who did not get into college.

But it is absolutely impossible for them to become county governors or even mayors as soon as they graduate like their seniors did.

What are really popular now are college students from prestigious universities, those who study abroad, those who return after studying abroad, and those who return from overseas.

Among those who go abroad to study, the largest number of countries go to Hong Kong, followed by the United States, and then European countries and Japan.

Among them, the number of mainland students attracted to universities in Hong Kong has grown the fastest.

We have to admit that the mainland still lags far behind in higher education.

Compared with Japan, Europe, the United States and other countries, Hong Kong has two advantages, namely, the availability of undergraduate education and the common language and culture.

The news being reported now is that the number of mainland students studying in Hong Kong has reached a new high.

Liu Tao knows that this number will continue to grow, and Hong Kong will shoulder a heavy responsibility in education for some time to come.

Perhaps in a few years, tens of thousands of students from the mainland will come to Hong Kong to study every year, and it is not impossible that the number will exceed 100,000 per year.
