Chapter 306 Going long again
In addition to education, the most important thing is to improve the national medical and health system.
Compared with other parts of the world, Africa's health care system is very poor.
Friends who have been to Africa may know that before then, many types of vaccines are needed, because many cases that have been extinct in China are still raging in Africa.
According to the World Health Organization, very few countries in sub-Saharan Africa can afford to spend $34 to $40 per person per year on basic health care, including Kolo.
According to Africa Development and Cooperation (2002), due to the persistent high morbidity and mortality rates in Kolo, they are considered to have one of the worst health systems in West Africa.
As of 2003, malaria was the leading cause of illness (46%) among all age groups and the leading cause of death (12.26%) in Kolo.
As of last year, the HIV infection rate was as high as 5%, and the mother-to-child transmission rate was 35%!
In addition, tuberculosis is also one of the great threats faced by the public in Kolo...
Under such circumstances, if you want to attract more foreign investment and develop local tourism resources, you first need to create a good environment.
It can be said that the biggest achievement of this visit to China is the close cooperation with China on the improvement of the medical and health system.
Most of the 2 billion Chinese dollars in interest-free loans that Kolo has received from China will be used to purchase medical equipment and drugs locally, and to hire Chinese companies to improve the construction facilities of medical and health clinics in Kolo's local rural areas.
In addition, China has also promised to assist in the training of Kolo medical personnel and related medical and health practitioners - for example, there will be a Kolo-China Friendship Nursing School in Central Province that will be built with China's aid.
As for the rest of the public security aspect, Kolo has begun to use funds to recruit police and related personnel, and began to implement anti-robbery and anti-drug measures across the country.

After reaching an agreement with the Kuwait Investment Authority and the Saudi Public Investment Fund on the Global Industrial Investment Fund (GII Fund), the process of establishing this fund has already begun.
The most important thing in front of Barron now is to find suitable investors for this industrial investment fund with an initial investment of up to US$6 billion. The other party needs to have rich experience in mergers, acquisitions and restructuring.
Finally, Barron found Finn Hudson, who had served as executive president of the well-known British investment company 3i Group. This professional who had worked experience in the industrial investment fund under the British government served as the global industrial investment fund. CEO.
Global Industrial Investment Fund has set up a special account at Standard Chartered Bank, using the Summit Media shares currently worth more than 2.1 billion pounds held by DS Holdings as collateral to lend 1.55 billion pounds to the bank.
The current exchange rate of GBP/USD has reached 1.83, and these 1.55 billion pounds of funds are equivalent to more than 2.8 billion U.S. dollars.
US$1.8 billion of the funds was directly deposited into the GII fund special account of Standard Chartered Bank, and certificates were issued to two Middle East sovereign funds, including the Kuwait Investment Authority, indicating that DS Capital had completed the required injection. After you have your own funds, the other party's funds will begin to be transferred into this account.
The remaining US$1 billion went into the self-operated business department of DS Investment, and all started long international crude oil with a leverage of 10 times.
Since the price of crude oil rose to US$40 per barrel in April, it has now fallen slightly, and the price in early July was around US$36.
But the next round of rise is about to begin. By September, the price of crude oil will exceed US$50 per barrel, and by October 22, the price of crude oil will reach the highest price this year - close to US$56 per barrel.
Therefore, since we have these funds, it will only take more than three months, so it is better to add another long fund for crude oil.

"I just came back from Shanghai. The construction of the competition venue there is going very smoothly and will be completed soon. I am very much looking forward to the Shanghai competition in more than two months."
Bernie Ecclestone is now very proud. After all, not only has he retained his control of the F1 event, but after selling his own shares, he also obtained 10% of the F1 Group. He told Barron:
"Barron, you seem to have never watched an F1 game. Believe me, it is an activity that can make people excited. It is a man's sport..."
"Daddy, who said F1 is only a men's sport? Can't we women be spectators?"
Regarding Bernie's words, Tamaran, who was sitting next to him, first became dissatisfied...
Facing his daughter's protest, Bernie could only smile helplessly.
"I will also go to China at the end of September, and I will definitely go to watch the game at the Magic City Station."
After hearing what Barron said, Tamaran also answered:
"I want to go too. I haven't been to the Magic City yet. It is said that it is developing very rapidly?"
"Yes, very quickly. Every time I go, I can see many new high-rise buildings. It is worth a visit."
It is certainly impossible to say that Bernie could not see the relationship between his daughter and the Duke.
Bernie also has some headaches about this. If Barron was single, he would be happy to see it happen even if he did not encourage his daughter.
But the key is that this young Duke has an open girlfriend, and he has also discussed this with his daughter...
But his daughter insisted on being with him, and Bernie had no other choice but to let nature take its course.
It must be said that Tamaran's figure really fascinated Barron. After the two left Bernie's place, they went to The Holme villa in Regent's Park.
It can be regarded as the "love nest" of the two of them. Almost every tryst they have is held there.
After getting used to learning knowledge from Barron, Tamaran also showed a certain talent in learning. She can be considered as capable of competing with Barron in terms of learning knowledge...
Of course, the final result was that Barron persisted in studying longer, while Tamaran fell asleep after a period of crazy "reciting".
…
During this period of time, Barron also took time to go to Rebecca's place to visit his daughter Jennifer.
But compared to Barron, Julia Moore went there more often to accompany Jennifer.
Because she manages the trust fund of the Devonshire family and helps Barron manage the family's traditional industries, it can be said that to this day, Yulia can be said to be one of the people Barron trusts most.
Including the villa where Rebecca lives now, Yulia helped find and decorate it at that time.
Therefore, Barron did not hide the existence of Rebecca and Jennifer from Yulia.
It was also because of her health that Yulia gave up the idea of having children - she didn't want her inherited heart defect to be passed on to her children.
But she still likes children, so when Barron is not in London, she most often comes to this villa in Westminster to visit Rebecca and baby Jennifer.
It can be said that apart from her mother and grandmother, the person closest to Jennifer at this time is not even Barron, but Yulia...
Because Rebecca often went to Cambridge University to study the courses she had missed before, and even at those times, Yulia would come over to accompany the little girl just for nothing...
