chief accountant:……
This negotiation is really a waste of words and brains, but our delegation still patiently strives for preferential interest rates bit by bit.
Since 49, Anglo-American Bank has rated China's credit rating at C- or C+ for a long time, and it has continued until the 21st century. It is said that it is mainly due to historical reasons.However, credit ratings are mixed with political factors. In specific negotiations, it is generally possible to win a credit rating of B or even A-.Different rating rates are different.
Campbell of Burma Company is now relaxed. He had nothing to do with the loan negotiations in the past two days. He drank tea and had a big meal in Guangzhou.
After two days of negotiations, the loan contract was negotiated with HSBC, and the deal was signed immediately.Burma received a large sum of money from HSBC at one time, and China’s repayment will be paid to HSBC in the future; China can quickly acquire a large number of oil refineries, and the “milk-increased” Shengli Oilfield can solve the industrial bottleneck problem; HSBC Banks released loans and received stable interest income.
All three parties are basically satisfied.
……
When the Canton Fair was in full swing, in addition to business groups, a group of people also transited through Guangzhou from Hong Kong, and then took the train northward.
A delegation of more than ten Hong Kong film and opera progressives was invited to Beijing to participate in the Chinese Film Workers Congress.
The team was led by Pan Hannian, deputy director of the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency.
Pan Hannian went to Hong Kong to work in early 1954 and has not been back to the mainland for the past three years. He is as curious about the scenery along the way as the fellow Hong Kong actors.
"We're in Wuhan!" "You can see the Yangtze River Bridge soon, right?"
The train passed the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, and the actors were all praising the bridge for its length and grandeur. Only Pan Hannian caught a glimpse of the long cigar on the slipway of a low-key shipyard about 2 kilometers east of the bridge.
……
"Prime Minister, I may first report to you a problem in other aspects," Pan Hannian said quietly to the Prime Minister, "Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, can the east side be covered a little bit, and from there, you can see some sensitive thing."
The Prime Minister frowned and thought about it, "Shipyard?"
Pan Hannian nodded.
Prime Minister: "It needs attention, and I will let the relevant departments make adjustments."
……
"Hi, Chairman!"
Xia Meng, the only actress in the delegation and the star of the costume film "Peerless Beauty", shook hands with the chairman.
Xia Meng spoke Mandarin, and it was quite standard.In fact, his ancestral home is Suzhou, Jiangsu, and he only moved to Hong Kong in 1947 when he was 14 years old.
"You are an actor in Hong Kong, so you still need to speak more Cantonese in the future," said the chairman. "In Hong Kong, if you speak Cantonese, you can get closer to the lower class people and do a lot of work. I can also make some movies." speaks Cantonese."
"Ask the Prime Minister to give us some instructions on our work."
Prime Minister: "I can't say any instructions, I'm just an ordinary movie viewer. I also watched "Peerless Beauty". You used the film to unite overseas Chinese and promote patriotism. You have done a good job in this regard."
Tang Hua is here to join in the fun at the Film Workers Congress.No, Director Jiang called him by name to join in the fun.The Film Workers Congress is not a congress of actors. There are also movie theaters, film distribution workers, equipment manufacturers, etc., that is, representatives of the entire industry.
"Hello, I'm Tang Hua."
Tang Hua waited for a while, but he found an opportunity to go up and say hello to Xia Meng.
"Tang Hua?" Xia Meng opened her eyes and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Sister Li! Director Yuan! Come on, Tang Hua is here!"
While shouting back, while holding hands.
Tang Hua: ...
"Hi Miss Xia," Zhou Xuan walked up calmly, Xia Meng's outstretched hand was transferred to Zhou Xuan's, "I am Zhou Xuan, Tang Hua's lover."
"Ah, hello Miss Zhou."
Among the actresses participating in this conference, Zhou Xuan and Bai Yang are the representatives of the current superstars, and Xia Meng is the cutting-edge Xiaohua.
There is no need to guess, Xia Meng got married three years ago. In the original historical plane, Xia Meng stayed the same and never had any scandals in her life.Tang Hua just came to take a look.
……
"Lao Pan, I haven't seen you for three years."
Not only to watch Xia Meng's appearance, but also to see Pan Hannian at this conference.
"Tang Hua, Ms. Zhou," Pan Hannian said, "yes, it's been another three years in the blink of an eye. The Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency is too busy with work, and I haven't had time to report back."
Tang Hua: "Then, you're also reporting to the Prime Minister when you come back this time, right?"
Pan Hannian laughed and nodded.
Tang Hua will not ask about what to report to the Prime Minister and what work he has done in Hong Kong in the past few years.
The president of the Hong Kong branch may be a professional news reporter. Pan Hannian, a former secret agent, served as the vice president for three years and looks like he will continue to serve for many years. What do you think he does.
Tang Hua: "I read some Japanese and American newspapers, saying that the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency is becoming one of the public opinion representatives of Hong Kong people."
Pan Hannian: "This has nothing to do with me. The reporters in the branch can always go deep into the bottom and interview the most authentic reports, so they gradually have this representative attribute. The president has always asked us to be as cautious and low-key as possible, not to stand up too early. On the opposite side...but then again, my colleagues and I actually go out for interviews a lot of the time."
……
In April 1957, the Sanmenxia Water Conservancy Project, which had been debated for a long time and whose design had been revised several times, finally started.
From the earliest proposal of the project by the Soviet experts, to the modification of the plan by the Soviet experts themselves, and after the hydraulic simulation, it was unanimously determined that high-level water storage was not feasible, and the design was readjusted.In the end, the Sanmenxia Water Conservancy Project will still start, but the design has changed a lot.
The height of the dam dropped by 40 meters, and the water level in the first stage after the completion of the project dropped by 80 meters—that is to say, the dam left a huge margin. There is a small lake, which is for flood control of the Yellow River.When a huge flood peak appears, the water must be stopped to prevent flooding in the middle and lower reaches.
This is also the main reason why the country still decided to build the Sanmenxia after many new conclusions were drawn from the hydrodynamic simulation: the Yellow River poses too great a threat to the Central Plains.
It is only a few months of water storage, and there will be no barricades in the upper reaches of the Weihe River. After the flood peak, the Sanmenxia still has to resume low-water level operation.
Of course, the power generation has also been cut in half from the 50 kilowatts originally designed by Soviet experts to 25 kilowatts.
The sand discharge hole at the bottom of the dam and the sand flushing facilities in the reservoir area can minimize the degree of sedimentation, so that the power generation life of the project can reach 40 years, and the flood control capacity can be maintained for 50 to 100 years.

Okinawa, Kadena Air Force Base.
An RB-57D high-altitude reconnaissance plane parked on the runway, with two long wings sticking out of the runway, leaving two shadows on the runway and the grass.
If you simply want to make the plane fly high, then just increase the length of the wings.Connect Canberra/B-57 to RB-57, RB-57F, RB-57D, and then to U-2, and look at the picture together, it is almost the evolution process of wings getting longer and longer.
Pilots Holt Patterson and Smith Hunt are fully dressed, pressurized flight suits will cover the whole body tightly, and a large oxygen mask will be worn on the plane, almost like astronauts.
The air force staff officer at the base arrived just before takeoff and handed the flight mission manual to Captain Patterson. The two pilots saluted and turned to board the plane.
……
"It's a long voyage. I hope the two boys can hold back." Mike Mills, head of the CIA's Far East Intelligence Agency, was at the tower of the airport, watching the RB-57D slowly accelerate from the runway, and then soar into the sky.
