Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 768 Oolong incident (for subscription)

After April, Zhao Hong stayed at home to create. In March and a month, the materials he sorted out and the outline became a large stack of manuscripts.

This time he found that because it is not written in a novel style, it feels a bit awkward. After all, this is an explanation of why a big country has risen, what it has done, what are the conditions for its rise, and why it has fallen. do something.

Among them, it is especially necessary to make a certain forward-looking for the future development of Huaguo, which is still a bit difficult in this case.

After Zhao Hong collected information, he discovered one thing, that is, Spain was the first to become the hegemon of the West in the world, then the Netherlands, and then England, Germany and France.

The Netherlands is directly known as the coachman of the sea. As for Spain, there is an invincible fleet across the Atlantic Ocean. Their rise and fall are very useful for reference.

The reason for Spain's decline lies in the feudal system. The influx of a large amount of wealth is not an economic stimulus for a feudal country, but a poison that corrodes the decision-making layer, which eventually led to the bankruptcy of the country's finances.

When they enjoyed a luxurious life with the money earned from trade, England at the same time had begun to embark on a capitalist society, and they basically used every copper coin they earned to develop industry.

In addition, his Armada was defeated by the British Navy, and it has been going downhill since then
The rise of the Netherlands is due to the opening of new sea routes and the use of unique geographical conditions to operate transshipment trade with the colonies.

Coupled with the fact that the shipbuilding industry in the Netherlands is very developed and it is actively developing foreign trade, Amsterdam is an important port.

At the end of the 16th century, the Netherlands gradually replaced Spain's maritime supremacy and transshipped goods for many countries.

In the 17th century, the Netherlands monopolized the world's shipping industry and became the "sea coachman" in the world.

But in addition to their excellent navigation skills, they also have a unique ability to build ships, and the others pale in comparison. For example, their own land area is small, there is no room for growth and development, and they are restrained by various policies issued by England. In the case where the other party transports the goods back and forth to earn the price difference, it is a disaster.

Excessive dependence on the external economy is the fundamental reason for the decline of the Netherlands. It has declined in competition. The foundation of the Dutch economic prosperity is commerce, especially the shipping industry, that is, foreign entrepot trade.

This is the loss of its own insufficient domestic demand, that is, its own potential is really limited.

Although their decline is inevitable, the direct cause is still at the hands of the British. Zhao Hong discovered a problem, that is, in the past few hundred years, the British only acted as a troublemaker in Europe, or they were still able to influence the situation. Shit stick.

In fact, this is also determined by the fact that he is an island country. He will never allow a unified situation in the European continent, which will be a disaster for him.

This is also the reason why a big cow like Napoleon will not be able to unify Europe in the days to come. Among them, in the past few hundred years, there are not no wild monarchs who intend to unify all European countries.

After all, it used to be a unified country, the Roman Empire.

But all failed.

Apart from the fact that they don't have a lot of unification ideas, there is also the contribution of England, the shit-stirring stick. He is an island country, and his strength has always been one of the best among European countries.

It is difficult for other countries to attack his own territory, which makes them rarely involved in the quagmire of war.

As long as you provoke the countries on the European continent to fight, when you are exhausted, you can directly have a left and right battle.

Among them, this is similar to the United States during World War I and World War II. After these European countries exhausted their strength, they struck out hard and became one of the world's two giants after two downs.

As for the rise of England, in addition to their capitalist system that is more advanced than feudalism, it is also related to their own presence in the Atlantic Ocean, which was the center of the world in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

The reason for island countries is naturally that they have navigation advantages, and their own land area is also quite considerable among European countries, which brings favorable conditions for their rise.

Defeating the invincible Spanish fleet, taking the lead in developing industry, and gradually becoming invincible at sea fleet, these are the capitals they have been able to traverse the world for more than 200 years.

At the peak, they came up with a colonial system and developed them with blood transfusions from other places. Although this operation was rough, the effect was quite astonishing.

The reason for the desolation of England is also related to the independence of the colonies. In addition, World War I and World War II caused a lot of blood to be shed in their homeland, which directly wiped out the wealth accumulated for hundreds of years.

The result is that the United States has picked peaches, and since then their right to speak in the world has been slowly deprived. Even their great leader Churchill has no choice but to create an "Iron Curtain" speech.

Continue to carry forward the fine traditions of their ancestors and make shit stirrers.

The effect is also very good. It directly leads to the confrontation between the old man and the United States. The collision between the two levels gives them a certain breathing space, which also directly drags the old man down.

But that's it, the original peak can never go back.

In the past, they were able to rise mainly because the center of the world was in the Atlantic Ocean. In Europe, these countries have small land, and England itself is competitive.

But it was different after World War II. The United States and Lao Maozi both have lands of tens of millions of square kilometers. This total volume is really different from the super monsters after several industrial revolutions.

These European countries can only tremble and rely on their breath.

As for the rise of the United States, it is inseparable from its geographical conditions. This place is a geomantic treasure land bestowed by God, and the environment of the entire America is extremely beautiful.

The Indians who lived here before never had to worry about food.

The reason they were eliminated was that their lives were too comfortable, and when there was an invasion from outside, they would just stay away and bring civilized barbarians to this fertile land, and the speed of development was unimaginable.

It is very important for the United States to be able to rise. Their own geographical location is very important. They are far away from the maelstrom of Europe. They can develop well, that is, they can develop insignificantly.

In addition, there are very few wars here, and there has only been one civil war in the mainland for hundreds of years, which provides good conditions for the development here.

Coupled with the advantages of taking advantage of World War I and World War II, and thoroughly understanding the fruits of the first and second industrial revolutions, this directly became a behemoth.

When the big brother Yinglun found out, they were already younger brothers.

The United States can laugh at the end in the two-level confrontation, which is related to their well-balanced development. Various high-techs have sprung up, and they will soon be applied to civilian use and generate economic benefits.

But the old man can't do it. The disadvantages of a fully planned economy are obvious.

Here, Zhao Hong wants to elaborate on all aspects of the United States, including economy, culture, system and so on.

The last thing is to make certain predictions about Huaguo becoming a big country and gather some current situation analysis, and finally predict how Huaguo can become a world power.

The above is Zhao Hong's brief summary of this book. As long as all the materials are collected, it is actually not too difficult for him to write this book.

He spent a lot of effort on these materials and directly used his company's energy to collect this information in libraries around the world.

If he were to collect it alone, it would be the Year of the Monkey!
Many precious materials cannot be collected simply. Fortunately, DreamWorks has a little face in Europe and even the world, and Zhao Hong himself has a bit of status in the world literary world.

Adding these two items together, libraries in various countries have to give some face.

Thanks to the detailed information, Zhao Hong uses various words quite accurately when writing, which is not something other writers can do.

He remembered that when CCTV was making this documentary, a team was working on it, and it was just scratching the surface.

The book written by Zhao Hong is even more profound.

The news that DreamWorks is collecting information all over the world cannot be hidden from other people. Many companies are confused and don't know what they are doing.

At present, DreamWorks has developed so big, and there are many spies mixed into it. Generally, some grand strategies of the company will be known soon.

The matter of the company's collection of information is very serious, and many people are paying special attention to it, thinking that it will be another big move.

Beep!
"Grandpa, what are you calling me for?"

"Hongzi, what is your company doing? What are you doing collecting information from all over the world? It's so mysterious. Can you make a revelation? Do you have any news to publish in Ming Pao!"

"Old man, what are you talking about, I'm a little confused and don't understand."

"You still pretend that it's your company collecting materials in libraries all over the world!"

"Um, is there such a big movement? I didn't let them deal with it simply."

"Look, I knew it was your kid who made it, tell me what it is?"

"It's actually not a big deal, but I want to write a book, don't I? Let them collect information for me. I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion."

"Well, you are really a weirdo in our writer circle. This is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. What book is worth your effort?"

"Oh, this time I'm not writing a novel, it's a biography of a great country, I just want to write a story about the reasons for the rise and decline of each great country..."

"This, this is really an amazing idea. Hongzi, your plan is to hang us old guys! If this matter is to become your kid, I don't know how much influence you will have. Alas, you will be full of honor before and after you. "

"Hehe, I didn't think about this. In fact, I just want to sum up an experience in these countries for my country's reference."

"Yeah, it's really amazing. The old man can't compare to this patriotism."

……

After Mr. Jin put down the phone, he couldn't calm down for a long time. This time he called Zhao Hong again and got to know Zhao Hong better. His family structure, thoughts, and patriotism all made him, an old man in his 70s, a little ashamed.

"The future generations are terrifying, the latter generations are terrifying!"

Zhao Hong is the most outstanding young man he has ever seen in his life. There seems to be nothing he can't do with this kid. He was so shocked that he was numb at first.

He always thought that he would not be surprised by what Zhao Hong did again, because he was used to it, but this time he was shocked again.

In the field of book writing, he has always been proud of it. When he heard that Zhao Hong was going to write such a masterpiece, he was a little excited.

It could not be said that this is an opportunity to make a name in history. This is really a fatal temptation for a man in his seventies and eighties. It makes him want to write a brilliant masterpiece.

But this idea was vetoed by him as soon as it entered his mind. He knew his own affairs, and he hadn't written for almost 20 years. It's hard to say whether he can still write now.

Besides, the general masterpieces of Huanghuang require too much energy, which makes it impossible for someone who wants to live a few more years. This is the reason why he gradually withdraws from "Ming Pao".

But he still wanted to jump around for a while, and after careful consideration, he thought of a good idea, which is to gain popularity, as long as Zhao Hong's book writes a paragraph in the preface that he has provided him with such and such help, or such and such A certain idea, this is perfect.

As soon as this thought came out, I couldn't stop it, it was like growing grass in my heart.

He had already secretly made up his mind to take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm. As for how to express this idea in front of Zhao Hong, he had to study carefully.

When he heard Mr. Jin call to inquire, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

Thinking about this kind of thing, the people below can really do it. This is a rare opportunity for the chairman to do things, and they have to use all their strength. If they do it well, they will get a compliment and they will be promoted. The speed will be much faster.

This reminded Zhao Hong that in ancient times, many officials liked to worship auspiciousness. Although this is a bit different, the starting point is the same.

When "Ming Pao" broke the news about this matter, many people who eat melons were a little surprised.

"Young Master Hong, this operation is truly unprecedented. There is so much movement in preparation for writing a book."

"Hey, I really want to read this book right away!"

"This is not a novel, what can I read?"

"Hehe, what's the matter if it's not a novel? As long as it is Hongye's book, I will read it. Besides, Hongye can't write as fascinating as a novel?"

……

The people who eat melons are eating melons and discussing, while other business giants are a little dumbfounded.

"This is really a bit of an oolong! We are still studying what industry DreamWorks will enter!"

"Yeah, although it's an oolong, it's a good thing for us."

"Yeah, as long as DreamWorks values ​​industries, they can quickly become leaders. It's terrifying."

……

Seeing the state of his company's top management at the meeting, Li Cucumber felt uncomfortable for the boss, and the wind of fear prevailed!
……

(Change first and then change)
PS: I originally wanted to update two chapters a day on weekends, but since the National Day is coming up in a few days, the company will not have a holiday, so we can only update once a day. Let’s do two or more chapters a day during the eight days of National Day!
