In Hong Kong, Cheung has always been the darling of the media. Every move he made attracted the attention of the media.

In the time of his enduring and forbearance. He Guanchang and Xu Guanwen thought that Zhang Shaojie was preparing for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty; Origin", Huang Yulang, Gu Long and others thought that he was going to prepare a new martial arts novel. Some people also believe that Zhang Shaojie has earned enough money for the first pot of gold, and will mainly run the company in the future.

No one thought of it.

At the beginning of August, Zhang Shaojie actually had a new work coming out!

The new work is not a movie script, not a novel, not music, but this one, which looks very powerful "The Rise of a Great Power"

Generally, to write a heavy article like "The Rise of a Great Power", it should be the older generation of historians, economists, and politicians, who can write such a majestic article after years of precipitation!

But Zhang Shaojie is a young writer of martial arts novels, and he is not known for his academics and academic qualifications!

With the serialization of "The Rise of a Great Power", Hong Kong's social celebrities, scholars, professors, and all kinds of intellectuals have written commentary articles on "The Rise of a Great Power".

"Ming Pao" received more and more "The Rise of a Great Power" after reading and commenting, Suo surnamed opened a column of "The Rise of a Great Power", in addition to serializing the text of "The Rise of a Great Power" published by Zhang Shaojie, but also published excellent book reviews, after reading and so on.

In this way, more and more high-level intellectuals are involved in the discussion. The commentary related to "The Rise of a Great Power" suddenly became popular in the newspapers and media throughout Hong Kong.

An editorial in Ta Kung Pao reported: "Ming Pao's recent serialized article 'The Rise of a Great Power' has attracted unprecedented attention in Hong Kong, and a large number of intellectuals have become interested in the topic of the rise of the country and the nation every day. This is a very good sign, at least we can see that Hong Kong's intellectuals, like those in China who are worried about the country and the people, are equally concerned about China's future and about China's future. ”

"Wen Wei Po" said: "In the 60s, Jin Yong once discussed the principles of governing the country in the form of editorial comments in the "Ming Pao", and some of the comments he wrote were insightful. For example, since the 60s, a special era of ten years, Jin Yong has repeatedly criticized. At that time, the editor of this newspaper was in the bureau and misunderstood Jin Yong's political stance to the right and spoke for capitalism. However, now it seems that Jin Yong's position should belong to the traditional Confucian position of the mean, and only neutrality can make a sober voice. Zhang Shaojie's "The Rise of a Great Power" is more meaningful than Jin Yong's critical editorial."

A series of social commentaries, as if Zhang Shaojie had become a social critic accepted by intellectuals overnight.

"Why 'Rise of Great Powers'?" Yishu said curiously.

Zhang Shaojie said: "Because I have read a lot of history books recently, I have written a lot of feelings after reading. After reading these feelings, you can cheat money with a little tidying up, why not? ”

Yishu said: "You are deceiving, many learned professors and intellectuals have expressed their appreciation for your articles. You are already seen as a thoughtful social critic! ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "Ha! Is it? Social critics, what's in it for good? ”

Yishu said: "The benefits are great!" A well-known social commentator who casually expresses some opinions will have a huge social influence and will even be followed by many politicians. An article can be heard by heaven, do you think, in ancient times, who could do it? ”

Zhang Shaojie pondered: "Celebrities? ”

"That's right, this kind of person who publishes social comments among the people and will cause huge repercussions is a celebrity in ancient times! Feudal dynasties, even kings and prime ministers, will be respectful to celebrities and gentlemen. In today's society, the status of first-class social critics is also outstanding! Because a large number of politicians and politicians pay attention to him, the energy of Baume & Mercier is immeasurable! Yishu said.

Zhang Shaojie was proud: "I'm so good? ”

Yishu laughed at him and said, "Don't be narcissistic, you are only slightly concerned by intellectuals." There is still a long way to go to reach the realm of real celebrities! ”

Zhang Shaojie didn't care, he was able to gain a certain amount of political influence through articles such as "The Rise of a Great Power", at least to let the domestic central high-level see his opinions, so as to influence national decision-making, this is Zhang Shaojie's intention.

China during the period of reform and opening up. In general, the development idea is very correct, but there are many flaws in the process. For example, people are too encouraged to get rich, but they forget to advocate fairness. Later, people ridiculed "let some people get rich first" to achieve the effect of "getting rich first and getting rich later", which is the biggest lie. Because, those who get rich first will speculate on real estate, make toxic food, hoard, and pollute the environment. As for getting rich with everyone? Don't be naïve, that's a fool

Another example is the cultural industry and science and technology patents. After China's reform and opening up, although it attached great importance to the development of productive forces, it only attached importance to materially catching up with the powerful countries. and do not pay attention to invention and innovation. Therefore, over the years of reform and opening up in China, the copyright of the cultural industry and the patent protection related to scientific and technological inventions are far from enough.

Take China's software industry as an example, because pirated software has been prevalent since the beginning of China's software industry. As a result, China's software industry has not been able to make its own blood through product profits. There is also not enough money to innovate and develop. In fact, even if some companies stupidly spend millions of dollars to engage in research and development, as soon as the product comes out, it will be pirated by the copycat, and there will be no return, and this kind of stupid thing to innovate will be less and less willing to do. As a result, more than ninety percent of China's software programmers write program code for foreign companies, which has accelerated the technological innovation and prosperity of the foreign software industry.

In the field of culture, China's cartoonists and animation talents are basically working for the animation industry, and the core technology and creativity are in the hands of the company, while the development of the domestic original cultural industry is relatively lagging behind.

Of course, the only cultural product that has developed relatively smoothly is the TV drama industry. But that's mainly because the buyers of TV dramas, TV stations, all buy genuine versions. The reason why TV stations have the money to buy genuine versions is because most of China's TV users pay ratings to TV stations, and coupled with the income from TV advertising, the entire TV industry has been in a cycle of good surnames

There are many thoughts. His gaze was full of wisdom.

Yishu feels that when Zhang Shaojie focuses on thinking, there is always a sense of mystery, which makes people want to understand what this man is thinking and why he is so charming when he thinks.

Hey, it's just a man, why bother with it, Fang sighed.

―――――― "The Rise of a Great Power" originally had only 378,000 words, Zhang Shaojie revised it by himself and added a lot of his own views, pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan. As a result, the text was changed and changed, and the length of the text exceeded 500,000 words. In the original text, there are only more than 200,000 words about historical events, and the summary comments after the fact are basically Zhang Shaojie's views.

Portugal went from being a colony to becoming a powerful country, but it was extremely weak at home, and eventually became a subsidiary of Spain.

The Spaniards conquered Portugal and became the first power in Europe by colonizing the Americas. The gold and silver wealth obtained by colonial plunder could only make the Spaniards live a luxurious life, and they did not want to make progress, and finally lost to the hard and simple British.

The Dutch began their rise in manufacturing, overseas colonization, and global trade, but gradually transformed into a financial industry, and earned a lot of interest income by lending to other countries. The whole nation became a rentier class, and began to be unenterprising, and finally fell to the second rate after the rise of manufacturing in other countries.

The British, with cheap industrial goods, defeated the industrial products of the Netherlands and other countries. In addition, it actively invested in the innovation and research and development of industrial machinery, and became the birthplace of the industrial revolution.

The history of the French is a history of revolution. All kinds of modern revolutionary ideas and all kinds of revolutionary attempts have appeared in France. Because the number of revolutions is too frequent and extreme, the heads of people are rolling and the blood is flowing.

Germany was conquered by France, but because the French Revolution enlightened the concept of the German nation, Germany gradually formed a consensus from a small city-state of 1789 to form a complete Germany. Germany was unified and rose through iron-blooded means, and because of the superstitious belief in force, it became a loser in both world wars.

From a Chinese student, to a Western student. At the beginning of the 20th century, the national consciousness and national consciousness of all countries in the world had already risen, but they wanted to participate in the world war, catch the tail train of armed colonization, and finally embarked on the road of no return, and became an economic colony of the United States after the defeat.

The Soviet Union, the first socialist country in mankind, eliminated the bourgeoisie and landlord class of the people through the form of state monopoly capital, and then with the development of time, a bureaucratic class within the system and unfettered bureaucratic power were born. It laid the groundwork for the decline of the country.

The United States has abundant resources and environment, and has caught up with the golden development period of the two industrial revolutions, and the monopoly capitalism of the American plutocracy has been deduced to the extreme.

At this time, the United States and the Soviet Union were the two poles of the world.

Now it is a joke to say that the two great powers will decline.

Of course, Zhang Shaojie vaguely hinted in the book that there was a lot of trouble in the Soviet Union. And the United States also has a large number of crises, and once it gets out of control, it will also produce endless disasters

Now, just the serialization of "Portugal" has attracted huge attention, and Zhang Shaojie believes that once "The Rise of a Great Power" gradually gets better, it will bring him unprecedented prestige!

Because, in this era, the general environment of China's entire country is to strengthen the country and enrich the people through reform and opening up, and save the national economic situation on the verge of collapse.

"The Rise of Great Powers" not only caters to the appetite of intellectuals, but also to high-level politicians. I don't know, will those high-level leaders of the central government see their own words?
