Chapter 680 Anxiety

"Xugong, we are almost arriving in Koro."

"There's still half an hour left..."

The middle-aged man named Xugong glanced at the young man beside him and said with a smile:

"What, are you nervous?"

"A little bit..."

Lu Wei said a little embarrassed:

"This is my first time going abroad, to Africa. To be honest, I have never heard of this country before..."

He is an employee of China Construction Fifth Engineering Bureau and has just been working for less than a year. Because his English is relatively good and he can speak a little French, he was selected to Colo's project department after signing up - although Colo has already Great efforts are being made to popularize English education, but before that, the official language of Cologne was French, so most of the adults here still speak French, and the popularity of English among young people is relatively high.

Before coming to Africa, especially in their project department where there are many positions that communicate with local people, they will also receive some French training. However, it is obvious that people like Lu Wei who have a basic foundation in French will have better learning results. Well, as for the other old employees, they basically still need translations to communicate with the locals.

Although it is because he is still young and does not have many family concerns, and the salary in this overseas project department is much higher than that in China, he took the initiative to sign up.

But when he was about to arrive, Lu Wei still felt a little uneasy...

"Xugong, I heard that the disease in Africa is quite serious, right?"

When Xugong heard Lu Wei's question, he looked at him with a smile. After all, he was a young man with a lot of energy.

"I still have to tell you, if you go to Kolo, it's best to ask other local women to have something. It's not because of AIDS. After all, although the disease was quite serious in Kolo before, they have strictly controlled it in recent years, and we have With the country's medical support, the pathogens have now been controlled in some areas, and the health situation is much better. Diseases that used to be very serious, such as malaria, are almost gone. But if young people really can't control it, what if? This girl has a baby and comes to your work unit with her baby in her arms. If you don’t say it’s a bad influence, what are you going to do? Just stay here?”

For example, before participating in some projects in Africa, employees in China need to receive many types of vaccines - because many infectious diseases that have disappeared in China are still raging here.

It was also because of this that Lu Wei's nervousness deepened.

But as XCMG said, since the establishment of the new Kolo government, they have invested a lot of money and manpower to improve their domestic medical and health standards.

Before 2003, malaria colo was the leading cause of illness (46%) across all ages, and the leading cause of death (12.26%).

At the same time, its domestic HIV infection rate is as high as 5%, and the mother-to-child transmission rate is 35%!

In addition, tuberculosis is also one of the great threats faced by the public in Kolo...

As early as 2004, Kolo received an interest-free loan of 2 billion Chinese dollars from China, most of which was invested in improving Kolo's overall medical and health services.

At that time, they purchased a large amount of drugs and equipment from China, and with China's assistance, they established a medical school.

After Colo discovered high-yield oil fields in its waters, the Colo government's purse slowly bulged, and considerable funds were invested in medical care.

At present, once high-risk infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis have been basically eliminated in Kolo, and the new infection rate of AIDS is less than 0.1%. It took six years to achieve such an achievement, which can be said to be remarkable. of.

What XCMG is worried about is nothing more than young people like Lu Wei who are full of energy. For people like them who are assigned to work overseas, it can be said that during this period, they need to stay in the local area most of the time. So, It is very possible that something happened with a local girl when I was lonely and unbearable...

After all, relatively speaking, Chinese men have a very sharp contrast with some local men because of their family-oriented qualities. Therefore, Chinese young men are quite popular with local girls.

In addition, I have to admit that many local girls, in addition to their darker skin color, also have many aesthetics based on their appearance and figure...

Also, in a job like theirs, it is easy for you to feel "beautiful" when you see a girl after a long time...

For example, what happened between a Huaxia employee and a local girl, or even what he said, a girl carrying a child to come to the father of the child, has really happened, so he must be vaccinated in advance.

"Don't worry, Xugong, I definitely can't accept these local girls. I only like our Chinese girls..."

Hearing Lu Wei swear so confidently, Xugong could only hope that it was true.

Soon, the plane landed at Bulita International Airport. They took the direct flight that Colo Airlines had just launched to Yanjing, China. Before that, XCMG had participated in many projects in Africa, such as their In the past, in Nigeria, we often needed to transfer flights in Dubai and other places. As for Kolo, because there were so few flights, we even needed two transfers to get there, which was very troublesome.

Now that direct flights to China have been opened, it is much more convenient for them.

And compared to some local African airlines’ passenger planes that are so old that their safety is worrisome, at least these passenger planes of Colo Airlines are newer and more comfortable.

Lu Wei was already looking at the scenery outside through the window of the plane with great interest.

Like Lu Wei, there were many Chinese who came to Kolo for various reasons, and some of them stayed in Kolo and settled down.

…

"In fact, Iceland's sovereign debt crisis had already begun to emerge in October last year, but because Iceland's economy was relatively small, after timely rescue, it did not cause too serious consequences - at least it did not significantly affect other countries..."

As she spoke, Daisy handed a document to Barron.

After reading it, Barron smiled:

"But this does not mean that the economies of other countries are also healthy, right?"

"Yes, as you requested, we have conducted an in-depth analysis of the debt problems of the eurozone countries..."

Daisy shrugged and said:

"The situation is not optimistic, especially Greece. We believe that if a sovereign debt crisis breaks out in Europe after the subprime mortgage crisis, it is most likely to start from Greece first."

"This is normal. After all, given Greece's situation, it would be surprising if there were no problems in the face of a subprime mortgage crisis..."

Barron said with a hint of sarcasm:

"We have to thank our friends for this. It was Goldman Sachs' actions that brought Greece to the edge of the cliff."
