He took a sip of tea and continued: Let me analyze several waves of development in the world for you, so that we can clearly understand the law of social development, and then enter today's theme "China's Main Tasks at the Present Stage and China's Opportunities after the First World War."

The people below were dumbfounded, and after a long time, it was just an introduction, and they hadn't entered the topic yet. Wang Hu listened attentively, and suddenly made Hu Wenkai confused.

Karl sat in the last row, secretly slandering in his heart that the god stick was destined to be a god stick, and fooled people one by one. Today is not in vain, I didn't know much about it before or hazy let Hu Wenkai string it up.

Schopenhauer said: Life is a mass of desires, and if desires cannot be satisfied, they will be miserable, and if they are satisfied, they will be bored, and life will oscillate between pain and boredom.

The history of mankind so far is divided into two waves, the first wave refers to the agricultural civilization, which began about 10,000 years ago, and its characteristics are: 1. The production tools are low-value and low-price tools represented by hoes; 2. The resources involved in economic operation are mainly land and human physical strength; 3. The main energy required by the economy is human physical strength; 4. The typical unit of economic operation is the family; 5. The main characteristic of culture is mysticism, such as Oriental mysticism.

The first wave ended with the Chinese civilization as the peak, and the development of the small peasant economy to the peak in China, the construction of water conservancy facilities, the farming unit with the family as the unit, and the social structure with the system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. As early as the Han Dynasty, it was far ahead of the world, and it was already the peak in the Ming Dynasty. We are all Chinese, and we all know that we know a little bit of books, so I won't say more, just to tell you that in the Ming Dynasty, China's GDP was nearly 40% of the world's.

The second wave refers to the industrial civilization, which began in the 17th century, and is characterized by: 1. The production tools are high-price and high-value tools represented by machines; 2. The resources involved in economic operation are mainly capital and fossil fuels; 3. The main energy required by the economy is fossil fuels; 4. The typical unit of economic operation is large enterprises, and 5. The main characteristic of culture is mechanism, such as Western mechanical thought and process management.

The second wave is now nearing its end, and its typical countries are the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the United States. The second wave of industrial civilization has these six principles: standardization, specialization, synchronization, centralization, maximization, and centralization.

The core feature of industrial civilization is petrochemical energy, which is what we call oil and coal. Industrial civilization began with the steam engine revolution in Britain and the large-scale use of coal energy. Coal has become the core energy to replace manpower and animal power, and then oil and natural gas have gradually become the same pillar energy as coal, and they all have a common characteristic: coal, oil, natural gas and other non-renewable resources. These cheap energy sources provide a huge hidden value for industrial development. The competition between human beings will inevitably lead to the competition for energy because of the competition for wealth, which constitutes the greatest worry and interest in the hearts of all countries and people in the industrial society.

At this stage, the centrality of the land is ceded to energy, especially these non-renewable energy sources. Those who get energy win the world. Although the introduction of the steam engine into production is seen as the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, energy has come first throughout the fossil energy era.

Complex machinery, automated machinery, electric machinery,*, high-lethality weapons and equipment, increasingly convenient transportation machines, telegraphs, telephones, and other long-distance sound transmission machines.

Because of the great success that the machine brings, it became a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. The universe, human beings, society, countries, and individuals are all machines, and we all re-understand the objective world in the way we understand and use machines.

Large-scale production has become the main thrust of social development and the mainstream of social division of labor, and the fine division of labor has completely destroyed the space for the survival of traditional handicrafts and tied a large number of workers and technicians to the wheels of industry. All kinds of industrialized industries require workers to adapt to the needs of mobility, which destroys the economic structure of large families. Wages become the basic guarantee of survival. The divorce rate is higher than in an agrarian society.

Instead of the traditional family system, the workplace has become a department of personal dependence. Family-owned enterprises are still widespread, but the economy determines everything and forces the family-owned enterprises to transform into modern enterprise management, and the joint-stock company mechanism determines the transfer path of capital and talents.

With the development of industrial civilization, the management class and the professional and technical class have become the elite pillars of society. They become de facto masters of society. The elite among them either leapt into the bourgeoisie themselves and become veritable capital entrepreneurs; Either become the spokesperson for the majority of minority shareholders and become the de facto owner of the business. In fact, politicians are also the spokesmen of the majority of minority shareholders. Therefore, the representative system is justifiably a typical system for the state to exercise its responsibilities and formulate policies.

The rule of law and money fetishism became the inevitability of social control. This is also the result of the split between production and consumption. The rule of law is not for the people, but more importantly, for the officials, because the product of the industrial revolution is that all government officials are the spokesmen of taxpayers, and citizens or taxpayers have no need to violate the law in essence, on the contrary, it is necessary to establish strict management and supervision of public officials and play the role of good public servants. For all living beings, money fetishism is the inevitability of the spirit of contract and utilitarianism.

You may not be able to accept what I say, but in fact we have already embarked on this path, except that the north is controlled by the feudal landlord class, and the officials speak for them.

Common features of the second wave of societies: fossil fuels, mass sales, technological breakthroughs, mass education. The functions of the large family in an agrarian society have been partially transferred, and the family is no longer an economic unit of common labor. The extended family becomes a small, modern family that is full of mobility. Small families, factory-style schools, and large corporations form the social structure defined by the Second Wave. You've been to the United States, think about whether I'm talking about the current situation in the United States.

Hu Wenkai gave a detailed explanation of the current situation of industrial development in the United States, and before he knew it, another hour had passed, and he looked at his watch at half past four.

"Is it okay for me to propose a 15-minute intermission? I want to have a cup of tea, smoke a cigarette, eat less for lunch, and talk for a long time that I need to replenish some energy. ”

The audience laughed and stood up and applauded. Hu Wenkai said with a smile: "That's good that the first half is over, see you in 15 minutes." Thank you. ”

Hu Wenkai hurriedly walked out of the backstage, and Liu Wenqin diligently handed over the freshly brewed Longjing tea: "What the boss said is really good, you can definitely start a sect." ”

"Don't compliment me, what I said is dry and bitter, and Jiang Lang has exhausted it."

"Hu Wenkai, you are oil residue, if you don't press you, you will be lazy and not produce oil. After watching the scene, you should often be taught. Liang Qichao, Wang Hu, and Lu Yongxiang walked into the backstage lounge.

"Teacher, what did I say?" Hu Wenkai didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Liang Qichao looked at him with a smile, picked up his cigar slowly, looked at Wang Hu and Lu Yongxiang before saying: "Wen Kai, the teacher wants to tell the truth, I listened to a lecture for the first time in my life. ”

"Wen Kai, there is a set for industry, and there is also a set for the army, I think the best thing is to teach, and today I will be your student. That's a good talk today. Wang Hu said approvingly.

Lu Yongxiang pulled Liang Qichao and Wang Hu and said, "Let's not bother Wen Kai here, he will have to start the second half in a while." ”

In the Hartung Garden Villa in Shanghai, Hu Wenkai's lecture was broadcast live on the radio, Sun Dacang was half-lying on the sofa with a sallow face, sometimes patting the armrest of the sofa, sometimes frowning, and sighed when he heard the halftime break and said: "I really didn't see that Hu Wenkai is a great talent, a genius, it is clear and simple and thorough, and there is a feeling of pulling out the dark clouds and seeing the bright moon." ”

When Dai Jitao heard half of it, he asked the secretary to refuse all calls, closed the door and picked up a cigarette, picked up the pen and thought while recording, picked up the phone and instructed the secretary: "Immediately send electricity to Tianxing Town, and organize people to record the boss's speech word for word." ”

This boss is really a talent that is rare in a thousand years, and the development path of the whole world makes him very clear and easy to understand. The boss is the boss, stand tall and see far.

The students of several universities in Shanghai all skipped class and gathered around the radio to listen attentively to Hu Wenkai's speech, which Hu Wenkai had never heard of, and someone next to him immediately ridiculed: "You can't have read the book "Establishing the Party for the Public Governance, Government for the People", which was written by him. ”

Carrota took Hu Taoying's hand and said, "Taoying will go get some pastries to fill your father's stomach, it is estimated that he is busy at noon and has not eaten lunch." ”

"Divine stick? That's a master, and with today's lecture, the boss can definitely be called a master. It's too powerful, how can such a god-like character be a god stick. Du Zijuan muttered with a look of longing.

"Dad is so handsome today, Mom, I'm going to deliver pastries." Hu Taoying left the box with a box of pastries.

Hu Wenkai was lying on the chair, Hu Taoying twisted a piece of pastry and handed it to his mouth and said, "Dad, this is the last piece." ”

"Your mother asked you to send pastries, and the little gluttonous cat ate half of it yourself, and went back to settle accounts with you."

Hu Taoying stuck out her tongue and grimaced at him, patted the pastry crumbs in her hand and ran away.

Looking at his watch, the fifteen-minute intermission was almost over, and he stood up and asked Liu Wenqin to help him tidy up his appearance and walk to the podium.

Xu Liyun learned Hu Wenkai's technique, patted the microphone, and the lecture hall instantly fell silent.

"The second half of the report on China's main tasks at the present stage and China's opportunities after the First World War will begin now, and I would like to invite Mr. Hu Wenkai to give the lecture."

The audience stood up and gave a long and warm round of applause to welcome Hu Wenkai to continue the second half.

The terrible magnetic bass sounded again, and it was slowly narrated euphemistically.
