193 [Attracting Firepower]

The distribution capacity of Peking University Publishing House is relatively poor, and if it leaves Peking and Tianjin, it has to find foreign booksellers as agents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The distribution business of "Guns, Bacteria and Steel" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is represented by Beixin Book Company, and a full 15% of the agency distribution fee is given.

Zhang Jiazhu held a cigar in his mouth, drove a car by himself, and killed his second brother's house in a hurry. He is now a celebrity in Shanghai, and he is in the underwear business with Zhou Hexuan and Xu Shenru, and he makes a lot of money.

The only thing that makes Zhang Jiazhu unhappy is that now miscellaneous underwear is blooming everywhere, seizing more than half of the underwear market in the south. Those underwear brands are clearly infringing on patent rights, but the lawsuit cannot be fought at all, and can only be resolved through private negotiation through industry associations.

Basically, this is the case, the guild president sits in the middle, first criticizes the copycat manufacturer for not being authentic, and then says that Zhang Jiazhu should not do his own business. In the end, both sides took a step back, and the copycat manufacturer paid two or three thousand yuan, thus obtaining the right to illegally produce underwear.

"Horn!"

Zhang Jiazhu honked the horn and said to the late doorman: "Hurry up next time, I've waited for at least three minutes!" ”

The maid hurriedly smiled: "Eighth young master, second young master happens to be at home." But he's in a bad mood today, so you have to pay attention. ”

"Got it," Zhang Jiazhu drove the car to the yard and stopped, went upstairs with a book, knocked on the door of the study, and said, "Second brother, I got you a good book, which talks about human society and political economy." ”

Zhang Junmai (named Jiasen) was writing an article, and he said without raising his head: "The eighth is here?" Sit down. ”

"It's good stuff, and you're sure to like it." Zhang Jiazhu took out "Guns, Bacteria and Steel" and put it on the desk as if it were a treasure.

Zhang Junmai smiled: "What good books can you read?" It's the New Moon Society's wind and snow moon all day long. ”

"Hey, this is really a good book, written by my friend, and specially recommended to you." Zhang Jiazhu said.

Several brothers of the Zhang family are very conflicted, Xu Zhimo divorced their sister, but the eighth Zhang Jiazhu was messing with Xu Zhimo all day long. And the third Zhang Gongquan, at this time, was Principal Chang's money bag, and he was busy raising military funds for the Northern Expeditionary Army all day long. The second eldest Zhang Junmai specifically contradicted President Chang, and also founded a "New Road" magazine to scold the Kuomintang.

President Chang now has to rely on Zhang Gongquan's Bank of China to raise money, so he turns a blind eye to Zhang Junmai. But this person was scolded too harshly, and he was kidnapped by the Kuomintang next year, and although he was finally released, he had to go to Germany for refuge.

Let's just say that Zhang Junmai himself is also a person with extremely contradictory thoughts.

Historically, the word "Soviet" was first translated into China by Zhang Junmao, but he was resolutely opposed to communism and at the same time opposed the Kuomintang, and rebuked both sides at the same time. Later, he pursued Western democracy, and even drafted the Constitution of the Republic of China, known as the father of the Constitution of the Republic of China. But he was a conservative at heart, and in his later years he was known as the grandmaster of Neo-Confucianism.

This is a pure patriot who pursues socialism, advocates democratic politics, opposes communism, adheres to conservatism, and advocates nationalism.

At this time, Zhang Junmai was idle at home, there was nothing to do every day, occasionally writing some articles to scold the Kuomintang, and his life was chic and happy. He didn't care about the eighth brother, he opened it when he got the book, and after reading the first few chapters, he couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.

After reading it for several days, when Zhang Junmai saw the last chapter, he finally frowned.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! What kind of one-party dictatorship and democratic centralism, in my opinion, is propagating the idea of dictatorship! ”

Zhang Junmai said indignantly that Zhou Hexuan's political views were completely opposite to him.

Zhang Junmai continued to read patiently, his face gradually became cloudy and clear, and even showed a look of surprise, and then laughed: "Mr. Zhou is really my confidant!" ”

In the 30s, Zhang Junmai admired the constitution infinitely. In his view, as long as there is a perfect constitution and it is strictly observed, and through the mutual containment and promotion of multiparty democracy, China can develop rapidly and thus achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation.

But it is still the 20s, and Zhang Junmai is still a socialist and nationalist. He witnessed the plight of the people at the bottom of Europe, believed that the existing system in Europe and the United States would inevitably collapse, and that the only way to avoid a social revolution (the Soviet Union) was to carry out social reforms and implement socialism.

Zhang Junmao's socialist thought has three aspects: "first, land and production institutions are shared, second, public management; Third, distribute the benefits to the public. ”

He also said that today's Chinese industry has not yet flourished, and socialism must be practiced in order to develop steadily and healthily, so as to avoid class struggle. In particular, minerals, munitions, electric power, and other industries should be managed by the state, so as to prevent capitalists from pursuing profits and affecting the national economy and the people's livelihood.

Do you feel familiar with these theories?

It's as if you've crossed over.

It is a pity that after a few years, Zhang Junmai gave up the idea of socialism and turned to the pursuit of liberal democratic constitutionalism.

Zhang Junmai read the last chapter of "Guns, Bacteria and Steel", and the more he read it, the more excited he became. Except for the different views of "one-party dictatorship and democratic centralism", the rest of the ideological content coincided with him, and he instantly introduced Zhou Hexuan as a confidant.

Socialists like Zhang Junmai are rare in China, and the vast majority of intellectuals pursue democratic constitutionalism.

Lu Xun sarcastically ridiculed Zhou Hexuan in the newspaper without scruples: "Recently, I read Mr. Zhou's book "Guns, Bacteria and Steel", the first 300,000 words, which I admire so much, is really a masterpiece of the world. But the last 20,000 words exposed Mr. Zhou's political face...... This is a dictator at heart, he speaks for those in power! ”

Not only Lu Xun, but many democrats are spraying Zhou Hexuan and scolding him bloody. These people persuaded Zhou Hexuan to delete the last 20,000 words and republish it, saying that without such a shit ending, "Guns, Bacteria and Steel" is still a good book.

Zhang Junmai instantly turned into a fighter and took the initiative to help Zhou Hexuan fight a pen battle. He no longer continued to scold the Kuomintang, but fought against the democrats with one enemy and one hundred enemies, and vigorously propagated his socialist theory.

The Southern newspaper controversy resumed, a debate between socialism and democratic constitutionalism, which ultimately led to two outcomes:

First, "Guns, Bacteria and Steel" became well-known to the majority of intellectuals, and its sales increased significantly;

Second, the democrats were successfully diverted from their attention, no longer looking for trouble with Zhou Hexuan, but arresting Zhang Junmai and scolding him.

Zhang Junmai has no fear, anyway, he is a rich son, he has nothing to do all day long, and he refutes every article that scolds him one by one. People are fighting happily, full of energy, and even have to eat two more bowls of rice.
