Li Xian didn't think that the matter of establishing a joint venture was over, and New Taipei refused this time.

Although he didn't know much about the acquisition process of the Eight Beverage Kings by Coca-Cola and Pepsi before he came back, even if he thought on his knees, the development of the story would not only be the fact that these companies that were in full swing at the time took the initiative to embrace foreign capital that led to their own demise.

Li Xian didn't believe that among these eight beverage factories, there was not even one that had the ambition to make his brand the first in the country or even go abroad.

Even if there is no ambition, a local drink like Asian SAR has a market that is enough to feed itself, and it has a market reputation for decades, which can be said to be a model of small but beautiful. Small cost operation, production is quite good benefits. No matter which direction such an enterprise is considered, it is categorically not motivated to take the initiative to enter a joint venture.

Therefore, if there is no deep-seated reason behind this kind of joint venture, or merger and acquisition, that the management has to compromise, Li Xian does not believe it.

So the moment he realized that someone had already made up his mind on Wei You and had already put it into action, Li Xian had already made up his mind.

No matter what happens in this wave, you must not fall into a passive situation!

It was at this time that Li Xian had to sigh at his previous decision.

What was decided?

Let Katya publish the book, which is the decision of the book "China Can Say No" in front of him!

What is this book?

Jin Shengsi, a talented man who was sentenced to death by the Qing government for organizing demonstrations, once commented on classical masterpieces such as the Water Margin. When the old gentleman commented on the Water Margin, he said that it was a "book of anger". In other words, this book is a literary and artistic work in which the author had a creative impulse because of his dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, and it conceals the meaning of instigating social revolution.

And in a sense, "China Can Say No" is also an angry book.

However, the "anger" in this book is not to incite revolution, but to vent the irrepressible national self-confidence of Chinese youth throughout the 80s and 90s!

Li Xian has read this book.

But what is very interesting is that the first time he knew about this book was on the famous Douban Book Review website. At that time, this book was rated as a "five-mao treasure book" by users who were generally sensible, highly educated, and had independent thinking and international vision. commented that it is a book that "basically summarizes all the hatred and blackening of Western remarks that a Chinese person can think of and does not think of". In addition, a large number of high-quality users also labeled the book as "garbage" and "angry".

Driven by curiosity, Li Xian, who was still in high school, found a copy of "Say No" that had been yellowed by dampness at a used book stall in a small alley in the county seat. And after reading the full content of this book, I will never log in to Douban again, and I will not conspire with each other.

What is this book about?

In fact, there are only four things written in the whole book.

Who says no?

Say no to whom?

Say no to something?

For whom to say no, that is, to "say no" to defend whose interests.

To sum up, the appearance of this book is mainly a response to the West's investment in China as a new market on the one hand, and on the other hand, because of China's history, system and national ideology, and other reasons, China's wanton decline and public opinion trampling.

Who says no?

China!

Say no to whom?

All those who belittle China and trample on China!

Say no to something?

For the sake of the West's continuous demonization of China, on the one hand, it blames human rights issues, and on the other hand, it is constantly restricting China in the economic, political, military and other fields and hindering development.

For whom to say no?

For the sake of thousands of young people who have the heart of patriotism and service to the country, say no!

This book is admittedly extreme.

But this bias is understandable if one understands the environment in which China was at that time, and since 1989 there have been many large-scale negotiations between China and the United States on intellectual property issues. In 1991 and 1994, the Americacan Trade Representative repeatedly included China in the list of "priority countries" for infringement of intellectual property rights in its intellectual property reports to Congress and imposed trade sanctions, and the "YH" incident occurred in July 1993. At that time, America accused the Chinese freighter "YH" of transporting raw materials for the manufacture of chemical weapons to YL and threatened to impose sanctions on China. The "YH" freighter was forced by warships and planes to dock at the port of Dammam for inspection, and all the crew members on board lived for 33 days in severe water and food shortages.

In September 1993, China's "Olympic bid" failed, and Beijing lost to Sydney by two votes.

At the same time, China was still struggling to negotiate WTO accession in order to have a broader space for economic development.

That talk, which lasted for a whole decade, turned the negotiator's green silk into gray hair.

If these can be understood, then the book is like "America can not lead anyone, it can only lead itself." No one can lead Japan, and sometimes Japan can't even lead itself. No one in China wants to lead, China only wants to lead itself," "The end of America is only a matter of time! In less than 10 years, at most 15 years, the American economy will definitely have big problems," "the 21 st century will be a century belonging to the Chinese," and "all peace and progress in the world will not benefit from China's merits."

Because at that time, China, which had been reforming and making almost earth-shaking changes in the past more than ten years, was still struggling to enter the WTO trade circle. Because at that time, when the capital appeared on the list of bids for the Olympic Games, the vast majority of foreigners still held the question of "what qualifications does such a barren, backward, and barbaric country and city have?"

Because at that time, although we were developing, we were not strong!

And the original version of this book was born in such an environment.

Li Xian asked Katya to write this book for no particular purpose. Since his visit to Shanghai University, he has felt that the current atmosphere of some scholars is really hateful.

Not to mention my current feelings in the business field, just to say that for history, such an "angry" book is needed to awaken some people. To awaken the new generation of youth!

At the very least, let them know what they're fighting for.

This book, if he had not operated it himself, would have been published in August of '96 according to its original historical development. It was also popular for a while, but it was precisely because Li Xian knew what people thought of this book in the next twenty years that he decided to optimize it.

Turning a book that is purely a vent of national pride and self-confidence into a book with clear views, complete and logical arguments, and prophecies supported by a logical system.

Originally, there was no hurry.

Li Xian's idea was to publish the book in the journal "Northern Youth" in the next year.

But now, he thinks it's time for the book to come out.
