Xue Xiang had a dream, a long, long dream, dreaming that his body floated and floated, floated to the sky, and finally landed on a thick cloud, the cloud was soft and soft, supporting his body as if there were no bones, suddenly there was another gust of wind in the sky, the wind was soft, cool, blowing on his body, as if it was going to blow through the three thousand six hundred pores, Or, the wind slowly became stronger, blowing his body from the clouds, from one cloud, to another, just like that, the wind did not stop, the clouds did not stop, Xue Xiang's body kept floating and floating, only to feel soft, soft, cool, gently, really comfortable to the extreme.

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the air, click, a huge thunder, and his body instantly fell from the clouds, and he was about to land, and suddenly, Xue Xiang opened his eyes, raised his head, rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and two faces were clearly reflected in his eyes, one fat and one thin, one red and one white, "Lao Sun, Lao Pei, why are you here, how long have you been here, why don't you wake me up." ”

Xue Xiang said, shaking his wrist and looking at his watch, it was already half past six in the afternoon, he vaguely remembered that he was lying on the table after breakfast, and he originally planned to lie down for a while, but he wanted to lie down for more than ten hours.

"Director Xue, it's okay, it's okay, we didn't wait long, we just sat for a while, blame me, blame me, accidentally dropped the book on the ground, and woke you up." The red-faced fat man who spoke was Sun Wen, the head of the reporter station of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Beijing University, and it was the book in his hand that slipped and caused the thunderbolt in Xue Xiang's dream and woke Xue Xiang up.

"Yes, it didn't take long to come, it was just a while, originally Stationmaster Sun asked me to go out and wait, but I said to wait here, but I didn't expect to quarrel with Director Xue." Sun Wen's voice fell. The white-faced thin man took over, and he was Pei Donglai, the vice president of Xue Xiangxin's arrangement to take charge of the work of the publishing house.

Xue Xiang knew that the two of them were polite, because just looking at the indentations on the sofa that had been difficult to calm down for a long time. I knew that the two of them hadn't been here for a while, "Okay." Don't say pretty things, there must be good news for the two of you to come together. ”

The reason why Xue Xiang asked this question was that today was the day when the journal of Beijing University was published, and it was also the day when Xue Xiang entered the news center, revised the edition, and fought the first battle with Qinghuayuan. And this time, in terms of the sale method, Xue Xiang did not adopt the previous sales model, after all, the available resources of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of the school. Winning the cold yamen of the philosophy department is not only in the road. And this time, the top management of the whole school all paid attention to Xue Xiang's first shot, because they had not yet waited for Xue Xiang's action. Lei Busi and Sun Wuji took the initiative to jump out and take over the matter of selling magazines, so they didn't need Xue Xiang to worry about it at all.

But Xue Xiang is still worried, he is not worried about the publication of Beijing University, after all, the home advantage is in front of him. I don't need to bother, but I have been worried about the sales situation in several universities such as Beijing University of Posts and Communications, University of Science and Technology. Speaking of which, you may ask, why did the school magazine of Beijing University go to another school to sell it? The reason for this is naturally inseparable from the incomparable influence of Beijing University, the first university in the Republic. Of course. Not only does Jinghua University have this privilege, but Qinghuayuan, one of the twin stars that confronts Jingda, naturally also has such benefits.

Therefore, these colleges and universities such as Beijing Post have naturally become the main battlefield of the newly established journal of the revised and Qinghuayuan, because these places are not the home of the two, and there is a fair stage for victory, and secondly, the students in these places are all neutral groups with ideas and culture, and their views and reputation are undoubtedly the most objective and intuitive.

Therefore, early this morning, Xue Xiang planned to have breakfast, so he went to these colleges and universities to make an unannounced visit. And I originally only planned to lie down for a while, but I didn't know that this party would lie down to the sunset.

And at this moment, Xue Xiang saw that the two of them were flushed, and there was a smile hidden in the corners of his eyes, so he could naturally guess that it was probably the best news.

Sun Wen slapped his face, and then shouted: "Director Xue, it's not just good news, it's great news, do you know how much we have today?" A full 5,000 copies, before, you asked Lao Pei to let go of the print, these guys should be in their mouths, but they are against you, and they barely printed 5,000 copies and stopped, so that our sales point here, after less than three hours of work, they rested, no, the mimeograph room is working overtime at this time. ”

Hearing Sun Wen's accusations, Pei Donglai's white face was slightly red, and he said hurriedly: "Director Xue, it's all because I didn't listen to your instructions, no one thought that you were really turning iron into gold, three thousand were capped on weekdays, let you play with it, and it will become like this, I really didn't expect it, in short, I won't say anything about the explanation, you can punish me." ”

Without waiting for Xue Xiang to pick up the stubble, Sun Wen said sarcastically: "Lao Pei, do you still say something to explain?" I see that your kid is explaining and distinguishing every word, and I don't want to think about how grand it was when Director Xue revised the version, I think it was just a department journal, and its influence was extremely limited, which made Director Xue stir up, and now, the stage of our school's party committee is ten times bigger than that of the Youth League Committee of the Department of Philosophy, and you kid don't want to think about how much energy Director Xue should exert when he first revised it, I think you should really review and review......

Sun Wen said, Pei Donglai grabbed the conversation again, the two of them said one sentence to me, and the conversation was extremely hot, so that Xue Xiang couldn't interject it. At first, Xue Xiang thought that these two were rivals, but after listening to it for a while, he gradually realized the meaning. It turned out that the two of them were fighting and mixing, and they actually had the intention of explaining for Pei Dong.

Xue Xiang slapped his face, stopped the drama of the two, and didn't bother to talk at length, only said that he wanted the two to remember to let the mimeograph room print it overnight, and then unceremoniously sent the two out of the door. He really didn't blame Pei Donglai's thoughts, he just wanted to get the information he needed, and the information was vested, so he naturally had no intention of leaving the two of them noisy here.

After sending the two out, Xue Xiang turned on the wall lamp in the office, soaked in a cup of Pu'er, and called home again, beckoning Xiaowan not to eat dinner first, and later, he took Lao Mo to the tooth sacrifice. In the cheers, Xue Xiang hung up the phone, took a sip of tea, picked up the new issue on the table, turned a few pages, and unconsciously smiled on his face.

Speaking in detail, Xue is almost 100% sure of this victory over Qinghuayuan. After all, the benefits that God has given him as a reborn person are too great, and this war in the field of propaganda is, in the final analysis, a competition of knowledge. But in terms of knowledge, who can compare to him, the born-again?

To say that Xue Xiang decided to show the series. There is a chance that the inspiration of accidentally looking at the world map on the wall is more of a necessity. Because the focus is on the construction of various theories and models, but the general background of the times and social background is reform and opening up, it boils down to how to make the country embark on the road of rapid development. In the final analysis, Qinghuayuan only put forward various ideas, but there is no empirical evidence. However, the nine major powers in Xue Xiang are facts that have been verified one by one, although the rise and fall of existence and death have been like clouds, but each major country does exist. Such empirical evidence naturally has unparalleled reference significance for the current republic.

However Xue Xiang selected the series. In addition to completely leveling Qinghuayuan in the battle of public opinion, there are some wishes of his own. He is deeply aware that the country has just experienced a catastrophe, and countless people have not yet opened their eyes, even if they have proposed reform and opening up. The ideological field is still chaotic and confused, and some people even have questions about whether they are good at what is good for the society or not, and all this is not a true reflection of the people's doubts about the future of the country and the government?

And at the moment, what could inspire a nation's pride more than that. What more can inspire readers' patriotic enthusiasm and self-confidence in the country? In addition, Xue Xiang also hopes that the series can have a repercussion at the top level, of course, he Xue is not to be famous, but desperately hopes that the top management can draw nutrients from it, and take fewer detours, even if it is one less detour, that is also his great honor and greatest wish.

Because Xue Xiang knows deeply that in the next thirty years, the Republic will really embark on the road of the rise of a great power, but it has never been smooth sailing. Although in the following 30 years, the Republic has almost made remarkable achievements and almost completed the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Xue Xiang also knows how many unresolved problems lurk in it. Of course, it is impossible to solve the problems arising from the subsequent reform and opening up, but it can play an extremely important role as a reference.

For example, since the beginning of the new century, although there have been two world wars, the ties between countries on a global scale have never been so close, and even the most conservative politicians in China know that the development of the republic is inseparable from the world and must absorb and learn from the achievements of others. But in the process of modernization, what kind of mind and attitude should the Republic have towards the countries that once led the world trend? What lessons and nourishment can be drawn from the development, rise, and even sinking of these countries?

That's the answer to that question!

Speaking of which, you may ask, isn't it just a book, is it an exaggeration? However, as the boss of the Party History Office, Xue Xiang deeply knew that the reason why later documentaries were born was because CCTV was ordered by the Political Bureau. In this way, you can see what kind of influence it has. Just think about it, if it was born thirty years in advance, that is, from the current Xue Xiang to open the golden finger, let it be born, what kind of impact can it have on the current decision-making level?

To say that Xue Xiang's greatest ambition to write this is also here!

Although Xue Xiang said that he had watched the documentary in later generations, he had never read the physical book at all, and even the content in the documentary was almost forgotten. Therefore, it is easy for him to set his goal this time, but the effort it takes to write the book is incalculable. Because of his special purpose, Xue Xiang put down his pen and tried his best to present the history of these great powers with the greatest sincerity and in the most intuitive and three-dimensional form.

He did not dare to add his own ideas at all, nor did he make any comparisons of races, cultures, or even civilizations, and if he had to implant personal colors, he only tried to guide the reader as much as possible in his writings from the contemplation of history to the reflection on reality.

After five days and five nights of exhausting his hard work and racking his brains, this is how he almost boiled up his blood and boiled his head white, and Xue Xiang only finished one article. To say that the progress is so slow, it's really not that Xue is not quick to think and the pen is slow, but it seems to be plagiarism, but it is too laborious to redo, even if the nine chapters of the later generations are born. It is also a collection of the efforts of countless pens and think tanks of the central government.

And Xue is almost alone this time, but he still strives to find a mirror for the reform and opening up of the republic with a global vision and historical vision; Standing at the height of the entire world civilization. The rise and fall of great powers are described in speculative language, so as to deeply analyze the successes and failures of the rise and fall of great powers from multiple perspectives such as politics, economy, and culture. In the turbulent tide of the times. Seek out the most fundamental force that promotes the development of the republic.

The birth of Xue Xiang's hope can offer a chicken soup for the soul of the republic that is undergoing reform and opening up, and after drinking, the small citizens of large countries, and even the adults who are entangled with capital and society, can regain their self-confidence, gain enlightenment, and open their horizons with an open mind.

It is commendable to have one enemy. And what Xue wants to do is to surpass the classics of his previous life, which is undoubtedly even more difficult. Fortunately, the first article was born after all, not to mention that the content is perfect, Xue has been added and deleted several times. After reviewing it many times, he himself is basically satisfied. However, what is the repercussion of this, Xue Xiang knows that it is not determined by sales, and it takes time for information to be transmitted to the top level. If you give it back, it will take time, and Xue Xiang just has time now, so he is not in a hurry at this moment.

A cup of pu-erh will be consumed. The twilight haze has sunk, and I look at the western sky through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, but I see the distant mountains are verdant, and the remnants of the sun are like blood. Xue Xiangzheng stared westward, wandering to the west, jingle bell, jingle bell, the phone on the table rang, and when he took it, it was the little guy calling, the small mouth was chirping, his voice was crisp, and he asked the big guy when he was going to eat, shouting that his stomach was already hungry.

The little guy sneered, and in an instant, Xue was full of thoughts about his family and country, and his ambitions in the world were scattered, so he hurriedly answered a few words, put down the phone, and ran downstairs in three steps and two steps.

……………………

Several times of wind and rain, several spring and autumn, some people have grown up, some people have become old, but some things seem to be really timeless, such as the Moscow Western restaurant in front of you. Three years have passed, Lao Mo seems to be a few years younger, the tall bronze pillars are gilded with gold, and the lights along the wall have also been replaced by four or five snow-white crystal chandeliers, and the biggest change is the door to welcome guests, from the old-fashioned hinge door to the revolving door, and at this time the revolving door is in the city of forty-nine, it is quite novel, it is said that there are many young guests who are dedicated to this revolving door here, just to be in it for a circle.

Whether the revolving door is interesting or not, Xue Xiang doesn't know very well, but whether the revolving door is troublesome or not, Xue Laosan can be regarded as a thorough understanding. No, a small pot of coffee is almost gone, but the little guy and Xiaoyi are still spinning happily in the revolving door, and you are chasing me so happily. It turned out that not long after entering the door, the little guy's butt didn't sit down, so he pulled Xiaoyi and ran to the revolving door. Xue Xiang originally thought that these two would come back after tasting enough freshness, but how did he know that the two were addicted to playing, and turned the revolving door into a hide-and-seek prop, going around and around, laughing and laughing.

At present, it is nearly seven o'clock, because the inside and outside of the old Mo Hall are all brilliantly lit, and the revolving door is also like daylight. The little guy was dressed in a tight-fitting camouflage suit, with round-toed cowhide shoes on his feet, and a small pink pistol pinned to the mini armed belt tied around his waist. This dress has almost become the standard equipment of the little guy, and if it weren't for the weather changes, it would be almost impossible to change.

A well-cut snow-white shirt tied in the suspenders, but the bee waist is strangled, the small body is slender and straight, and the feet are also a pair of round-toed cowhide shoes, the slender broken hair is black and thick, the small face is Zhouzheng, and the whole look is really good.

This pair of little brothers and sisters, dressed almost out of touch with this era, and chased the dead at the door of the restaurant, cheering, there are countless diners in the restaurant, but many of them were caught by the two of them, attracted attention, but no one shouted and scolded, but many of them stopped as a scenery, and enjoyed it.

Xue Xiang has always had little way to deal with this little brother and sister, but at this time, he has already screamed a lot, and still no one responds. Fortunately, Xiaowan followed, and at this time, seeing that the second child was making a little fuss, he got up and went to the door, and slipped back one by one.

As soon as a family of four sat around the table, three waiters walked over with a plate, and before long, the manager of the restaurant, Lao Ma, also quietly slipped over and sent a red wine and three ice creams, saying that he was welcoming the third brother back to Beijing.

Xue Xiang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he had been back to Beijing for nearly two years, and he didn't come to Lao Mo once or twice, although he didn't hit the old horse, but in any case, he didn't need to be described as catching the wind and washing the dust, if it was really catching the wind and washing the dust, it had been two years, and the dust on this body should be so thick.

Xue Xiang slandered in his heart, but he thanked a lot, but Lao Ma was an interesting guy, and after a few words of gossip, he took the initiative to leave, leaving the family to enjoy dinner.

How do you know that the old horse is so interesting, but there are people in this world who are not interesting, no, Xue Xiang hasn't taken a few mouthfuls in his mouth, and there was a big commotion in the direction of the door.
