Chapter 180: Vernacular Text
Chapter subtitle: Master Yuan's clutches have finally reached Seris and the maidens of Seris!
It took an evening (more than a dozen chapters) for our Master Yuan to finally complete the task of "God of Air-Fried Light Bulbs". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but unfortunately, this kind of task released by the non-master ball system, he can't get any rewards.
Mr. Edison, who had fainted again, was carried back to his room by the doctors and attendants who had rushed to hear the news. In fact, the great inventor has little physical problems, namely high blood pressure, which is one of the common symptoms of the elderly and diabetics.
Thomas Edison sniffed the salt and woke up again, took a little more tranquilizer prescribed by the doctor, and basically returned to normal.
Of course, he was "suffering a heavy blow to his psyche and self-esteem" and was now resting in bed.
With Louis Baker's farewell, only the Edison father and son were left in this room.
Little Edison, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, said indignantly: "Father, that Chinese is too much!" ”
Mr. Theodore Edison did admire Yuan Yanqian a little, but after his father was fainted by our Master Yuan, of course he was also a little angry,
On the contrary, his father snorted calmly and coldly: "Hmph, that Chinese is only a little clever." And he also has two fatal weaknesses. ”
Little Edison said curiously: "Father, what are the two weaknesses you are talking about?" ”
Old Edison sat up and said, "It is the greed and pride of the seven deadly sins!" ”
"Greed made him sell us such a great idea, and pride made him make an even bigger mistake!"
His son seemed to have realized something, and said, "Father, what do you mean......?"
The great inventor sneered and said, "Theodore, you can see it. Since he wanted to devote himself to the radio broadcasting industry, he sold us two important inventions for 100,000 dollars. As long as we hold the patent in our hands and do not organize production, the time will ...... Hehehe......"
Little Edison suddenly realized: "Yes, as long as there are no desk radios and truck radios in the world, then their radio stations will still not be popular!" But how to explain it to Mr. George Baker? ”
His old father waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still understand George." And I'm not going to make excessive demands, as long as Mr. Baker promises me to let that Chinese out of NYPR, I'm going to make concessions......"
This is called the fact that big entrepreneurs are not as good as big capitalists.
Thomas Edison was only concerned with patents and products, while Mr. George Baker and our Master Yuan were at a higher level and were focused on financial operations from the beginning. So when the time comes...... Hehehe......
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the two Mr. Bakers had gone back to their rooms to rest, while Yuan Yanqian stayed in the smoking room and read the newspaper.
For a time-traveler like him, the speed of news dissemination in recent years is really outrageously slow.
When the Petronas Twin Towers collapsed in 2001, Yuan Hongjian was still an 11-year-old elementary school student, and the Internet had not yet become popular. However, he was already asleep, and his father woke him up to watch the live broadcast of this big news on TV.
In contrast, in 1920, I don't know how many people in China know about such a big event as Wall Street BOOOOM now. It's a pity, otherwise there must be a lot more "I want to be an American tonight Chinese...... According to the Chinese Exclusion Act, they really can't afford it.
Therefore, it is difficult for Yuan Yanqi to see except for local newspapers in New York, let alone Chinese newspapers, and even the Los Angeles Times in Europe and even on the west coast of the United States.
And this nameless country club in New Jersey is really awesome. Our Master Yuan found a books, newspapers and magazines shelf in the smoking room, which contained the "latest" newspapers and magazines from all over the world.
For example, he actually saw the North China Daily News a month and a half ago, and according to the traffic conditions at that time, these newspapers were really "fresh". Originally known as North China Herald, Zilin Xi Bao was founded in Shanghai on August 30, 1850. It was not only the first English-language newspaper published in China, but also the most influential foreign-language publication in China at that time.
In 1921, construction of the Zilin Building would begin on the Bund, and the nine-story building, completed in 1924, was once the tallest building in the Magic City (now the AIA Building on Zhongshan East Road on the Bund). This shows the strength and influence of this newspaper.
Of course, there is nothing to read in these newspapers, except how Eddard Stark Chang and Oscar von Rochenthal Cao sympathized with each other and vowed to build a new Republic side by side under the leadership of the dictator Shichang Xu...... Two years later, they were all so good that they were fighting, so there was a big battle of Zhibong.
The newspaper also Chinese the people to be wary of Su Xiu...... Well, the wolf ambitions of Soviet Russia. In August this year, Garahan, deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, drafted the "Second Declaration on China," which in fact was a step backward from the "First Declaration," but still declared that Russia was willing to hold talks with the Republic of China on the issue of the Eastern Railway and the border issue.
"Zilinxi Daily" reminds the Chinese that Lao Maozi has always been insatiable, far worse than the English gentleman, and must be vigilant and vigilant!
Yuan Yanqian was bored watching such things, but this newspaper from the motherland that was not yet his "motherland" reminded him that he should start submitting articles to China now.
Although he can't return to China for the time being, his reputation still has to be brushed up.
With this broken system, many of my grand plans have been unable to be realized in China, can't I still be the pioneer and benchmark of the vernacular literary movement?
What's more, if you wait until you return to China to brush up your prestige, won't your grand plan to become the dream lover of the young women of literature and art in the Republic of China be postponed? Wouldn't those ladies and celebrities in the Republic of China have to keep a few more months of empty boudoirs and less spring dreams for a few months?
What a sin this was for him, the "friend of women"!
Thinking of this, the excited Master Yuan threw down the newspaper in his hand, got up and walked around the smoking room briskly.
When it comes to vernacular texts, it's too much, don't worry about having nothing to copy, just worry about not having B coins...... So what should you copy?
Jin Guwen Liang Huang's martial arts novels are of course too low, and they are not worthy of a neoclassical liberal master like him.
Grandma Qiong Yao's book has a little bit of "anti-feudalism, fight for freedom, and bravely strive to be a junior." But is it like a big man like me who always copies romance novels written by lesbians?
Or...... Just come to this one?
Oops, this book is really feminist, anti-feudal and vernacular, but there are three problems:
First, this was also written by a lesbian.
Second, will you become a male in the Republic of China after copying it...... And what about the public enemies of the male traversers of the Republic of China?
Third, this question is very serious and very serious: Lao Tzu seems to be a bit of a slap in the face when he takes a concubine in the future?
The little prince of Seris literature walked to the window, stared at the cold stars in the night sky, and a question lingered in his heart, cao...... Well, is it chao or not chao, that's the question!
