　　Odienne province in the northwest of Cô te d ‘Ivoire borders Mali and Guinea, where China Harbor Engineering Co., Ltd. (China Harbor) undertook the northern highway project. In the dry season, the sun is shining and the dust is flying. In the roar of construction machinery, Kama, a young man from Togo, Africa, and his China master Li Jian are carrying measuring equipment and walking on the newly compacted subgrade in tandem.

　　When he arrived at the survey point, Li Jian turned his head and shouted in several languages "jargon": "Kama, go and see the elevation here, it’s the same as that in front, and let me know when it’s ready." Mixed sentences in Chinese, English and French are the main ways of communication between teachers and apprentices. Kama immediately understood, put down the tripod, took out the GPS, and the two of them started the day’s measurement work.

　　The total length of the highway project in northern Cô te d ‘Ivoire is about 230 kilometers, which is undertaken by China Harbor, and CCCC No.1 Navigation Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. (CCCC No.1 Navigation Bureau) is responsible for the construction of the third bid section of the project. When completed, the northern highway will become the main traffic artery connecting Mali and Guinea, and it will also be an important part of the road network of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

　　Kama has been working in CCCC No.1 Navigation Bureau for nearly three years. He and Li Jian, the survey squad leader, first worked in the Abidjan Port yard project undertaken by China Harbor. At the beginning of this year, they came to the northern highway project one after another and became surveyors here. In Kama’s words, "wherever Master goes, I will go".

　　"Li Jian is a very good teacher," Kama told reporters while waving his hand to direct his colleague who was inserting piles. "I was trained in topographic surveying in Lomé (the capital of Togo), but the field operation was completely different. Master helped me, and I mastered more basic knowledge and learned his experience every day."

　　Engineering survey is complicated but indispensable. Before further construction, each road section has to go through strict procedures such as point setting, coordinate calculation and setting-out acceptance. In addition, due to the high engineering standard and large topographic relief of some road sections, the survey work needs to be more detailed, otherwise it may be "a thousand miles away".

　　"Kama is very smart. When he came to the interview, I saw that he had a good measurement foundation. " Li Jian told reporters, "Over the past few years, we have had a special tacit understanding. I don’t speak foreign languages very well, but I don’t have to say too much when I work together. He will soon understand what I mean."

　　In the past three years, Kama studied hard beside Li Jian, and gradually grew from a semi-apprentice to a qualified surveyor. Now, Kama also has a small team of three or four people, who can independently lead the team to carry out the measurement work. Kama also studied software drawing in his spare time, hoping to undertake more work in the future.

　　"The northern highway project in Kamalai is earlier than me and more familiar with the process. We learn from each other." Li Jian said.

　　"I worked in other companies before I came here, but I prefer it here." Kama said, "It provides more job opportunities and room for improvement for foreign employees. We are respected here and have received a lot of professional skills training, which is of great benefit to career planning."

　　According to Li Yangchun, manager of the Northern Highway Project, since the project started in March 2020, there have been 1,700 people at the peak of the project construction, providing more than 1,500 jobs for the local surrounding communities, and there are more than 100 foreign managers like Kama. During the implementation of the project, enterprises purchased local cement, diesel oil, steel bars and other materials, leased local equipment, and indirectly created more than 2,000 jobs.

　　"Kama is an excellent master surveyor trained by ourselves on the project." Yin Zhiliang, director of Kama’s work area, said, "Now he can solve the problems encountered in the measurement work independently, which is not only efficient, but also meticulous, and pays attention to equipment maintenance."

　　"I returned to China for the New Year two months ago, and Kama did not forget to send a message greeting." Li Jian took out his mobile phone and showed the reporter their chat records. "It is a rare fate to meet him in Africa."

　　Nanning Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau reported on the 24th that Qinzhou Intermediate People’s Court recently made a first-instance judgment on the "July 9, 2020" cigarette smuggling case of Dong Moumou and others, which was investigated by Qinzhou Branch of the Bureau, and sentenced the principal offenders Dong Moumou and Chen Moumou to 10 years’ imprisonment, fined 7.1 million yuan and 4.4 million yuan respectively, and sentenced other major members of the gang to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 1 year to 5 years and 6 months.

　　According to the police, on July 9, 2020, Nanning Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau and Guangxi Tobacco Monopoly Bureau jointly launched the "Border Sea 2020-1" special campaign to crack down on cigarette smuggling. A total of 47 police officers were dispatched and divided into seven action groups to carry out unified net collection operations in Qinzhou, Beihai, Fangcheng, Dongxing and Yunxiao, Fujian, respectively. Two cigarette smuggling gangs were destroyed in one fell swoop, five suspects were arrested and one smuggling den was removed.

　　It was verified that criminal gangs headed by Dong Moumou and Chen Moumou ordered counterfeit cigarettes of some well-known domestic brands in Cambodia, Laos and other countries, transported them to Vietnam for hoarding, and then smuggled them into the country through coastal areas such as Qinzhou, Fangcheng and Jingxi in Guangxi, and then transported them to Guangdong and other places for sale. After digging deep and expanding the line, the case finally verified 3190 pieces of cigarettes smuggled by the gangs involved, with a case value of 20.01 million yuan, which was listed as a second-level listed supervision case by the Anti-smuggling Bureau of the General Administration of Customs.

　　After hearing the case, the court held that the actions of Dong Moumou and Chen Moumou, the principals of the case, constituted the crime of smuggling ordinary goods and articles, and the tax evasion was particularly huge, so the above judgment was made according to law.

At the same time, the industrial nature of silver itself gives it better price elasticity. Judging from the supply and demand of silver itself, the biggest change in recent years is actually its increased demand in the photovoltaic field, and the electronic manufacturing process related to AI also relies heavily on silver as a key raw material.

　　At present,Chinese peopleIt has increased its holdings of gold for 18 consecutive months.Although China’s gold reserves continued to grow in April, the growth rate was the lowest in the past 18 months. According to Wang Qing, chief macro analyst of Oriental Jincheng, the small increase in April was related to factors such as the significant increase in the international gold price in that month.

　　The research report pointed out that the economic data showed that the inflation data in the United States fell from the previous month, which provided data support for the Fed to cut interest rates. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell claimed that the interest rate hike was not in the Fed’s option for the time being, which greatly weakened the market’s interest rate hike expectations caused by CPI’s continuous exceeding expectations since the beginning of the year. In addition, the European Central Bank Management Committee Nott believes that June may be the first time to cut interest rates.Machine. Affected by the expected increase in overseas interest rate cuts and the resurgence of geopolitical risks in the Middle East, gold prices at home and abroad are in a good trend, and it is expected that the subsequent gold prices will remain volatile and upward.

　　Looking ahead to the market outlook, China Merchants Fund pointed out in its investment strategy report in May that there will be more investment opportunities than risks in the stock market in the next two quarters, and the high probability is still a structural market. After the uncertainty decreases, assets with higher risk characteristics (growth) may have room for performance. In terms of industry configuration, we are relatively optimistic about technology manufacturing, brokerage and growth materials and consumption sectors.

　　Guangfa Fund also mentioned in its strategy report in May that the A-share market is picking up and the market as a whole is in a state of upward elasticity. From a fundamental point of view, we can pay attention to the opportunities in the direction of going to sea, and suggest that investors continue to maintain the barbell strategy configuration scheme, that is, by diversifying investments at both ends, the portfolio includes both low-risk and high-risk assets to balance risks and returns.

　　If the funds in your hands have not been paid back, you don’t have to worry too much. You can re-examine whether the funds are recognized by yourself, make plans in advance, set up stop-loss points, balance the allocation, control the positions, and respond to market fluctuations in time. You can also apply tools such as fixed investment to help us reduce the holding cost and low-level layout.

When we take this major as a serious thing, you will naturally think about many long-term things.

　　At the end of the live broadcast, Xu Yan also gave investors a passage. He said, "The uncertainty in the future will increase significantly, and the possibility of stormy waves will not be ruled out. In such an environment,We should also get used to the fact that we can’t see clearly, and take uncertainty as the norm.The key to giving up the exam-oriented thinking of having an accurate answer to a question is not the answer, but the process. This process often depends on yourself. You can not only wander with a lot of anxiety, but also explore with curiosity like a child and explore the fun of the unknown world. "

　　In short, the market is full of unknowns. In the process of investment, we can try to put down our anxiety and explore the unknown more, which may be easier and more rewarding.
