Wu Jie listened to Huang Shiyao's words, just smiled and didn't say anything more.

In his opinion, Yang Shuoming is still quite rational in terms of feelings, and he is by no means a ridiculous and lustful person. Like this marriage, the marriage with the "Kazakh princess" is more for the purpose of developing the feelings of the local people in Central Asia.

Regarding the large number of things Yang Shuoming has done in these years, Wu Jie is actually more clear than Huang Shiyao.

In fact, Wu Jie also understands that what Huang Shiyao said just now may mean more by pretending to be a gesture to hide people's ears.

He knows his former owner more deeply than Yang Shuoming.

"Is there any news from the Ministry of Intelligence?" Huang Shuyao asked, "After so long in the election of the president, there should be a result, right?" ”

The "intelligence department" mentioned by Huang Shuyao is not an intelligence department subordinate to the Beijing government, but a specialized agency of "Renhe and Company" at the beginning of its establishment.

Although this agency is non-governmental, because it is Yang Shuoming's "brainchild", its responsibilities are not limited to intelligence gathering and processing.

"This election follows the example of the United States, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce, and it is difficult to achieve results for a while." Wu Jie remembered the heated discussions about the first presidential election in the recent past, "However, no matter who comes to power, the situation of armed political struggle is over." ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to say, the key depends on whether the head can be opened well this time." Huang Shuyao looked at a newspaper and said. The front page of this newspaper is a report on China's presidential election, with two large photos of Xu Shichang, the current premier of the presidency, and the other

Cao Kun, who resigned from his post as the patrol envoy of Zhilu Yu and ran for election as a civilian.

In addition to Xu Shichang and Cao Kun, there are also Cen Chunxuan, Wu Peifu, Feng Jishan, Wang Jiaxiang, Tan Yankai, Chen Jiongming, Gu Pinzhen, Wu Jinglian, Chen Sanli, Zhang Shaozeng, Zhang Zuolin, Chen Yaoling, Tang Shaoyi, Gu Zhongxiu, Tan Yanhong, Lu Yongxiang, Li Liejun and other celebrities and real power figures from all walks of life, but the highest voice is undoubtedly the highest

Cao Kun, who became the leader of the direct warlords.

"What do you think of this election?" Wu Jie asked.

"The situation of the political struggle by force is over, but the situation of the political struggle for money is about to begin." Huang Shiyao smiled and said, "Cao Kun once said back then that whoever is famous and rich can be president. ”

"If he still thinks like this in his head, even if

Being president may not be a blessing for me. Wu Jie listened to Huang Shiyao's words and shook his head, "I think he won't be able to bargain for this election." ”

"That's not necessarily, money can make ghosts grind, what he Cao Kun has in his hand is money, don't use it this time, when will you use it?" Huang Shiyao glanced at Wu Jie and said disapprerovingly, "Don't look at the current Congress."

It's not the time when the Anfu department was in charge, but some things can still be opened up with money. ”

Cao Kun was born as a small businessman, and after his career, he was extremely wealthy, and his total family property was worth about 50 million silver dollars, ranking first among the military and political personnel in Beiyang (although Yang Shuoming's wealth was far above Cao Kun, but his own private wealth was not very much), the reason why Huang Shiyao said this is because he deeply knows that money is in many aspects

, much larger than a gun.

Regarding the information about Cao Kun's family property, not only Yang Shuoming, but even Huang Shiyao and Wu Jie know it very clearly. And this information comes from the intelligence network of "people and companies".

"No wonder Yang Hanzhi ran so far this time, he wanted to stay away from this dispute." Wu Jie understood what Huang Shiyao meant, smiled and nodded, "But I remember, he hopes that Xu Donghai will be elected." If he is not here, won't Xu Donghai lose? ”

"Not necessarily." Huang Shiyao said, "Although it is far away, it does not mean that he, a 'high-tech warlord', cannot do anything." ”

"If that's the case, he's afraid he's going to have to stay outside for a while." Wu Jie nodded and said.

"I'm worried about the Americans right now." Huang Shiyao said, "As the saying goes, 'It's easier to please God, but it's hard to send God.'" What's more, there have always been anti-Chinese voices in the United States, and once something happens in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to end. ”

"There should not be many anti-Chinese voices in the United States now." Wu Jie said with a smile.

Convention Center, International Science and Technology Exposition, New York, USA.

At this time, in a large hall, on the podium, an American scholar was giving a speech on "China's prosperity is good for the West." ,

“…… At a recent tech conference, we heard a speaker in his opening remarks about the 'threat from Asia'. He talked about the large number of PhDs in chemistry and bacteriology that China is training and affirmed that the next stage will be for Chinese companies to try to occupy the field of new drug development. The spokesman hated this. ”

"But I want to say, please stop and think about it. Because right now, bright young Chinese students are studying hard in universities. In a few years, they will be fighting in a Chinese biotech company or research institute. They will spend another dozen years doing all kinds of research and clinical trials, all with the goal of inventing new drugs that could save millions of lives. Like penicillin and sulfonamides, should we be angry about it? ”

"We should cheer for China's innovative development and achievements in medicine and health, not complain. Because in the long run, the benefits to scientific progress, economic growth, and political stability are far more important than the short-term threats to the West's technological leadership. ”

"What is certain is that such a threat is real. From 1913 to 1920, the number of Ph.D. graduates in science and engineering in the United States grew at a rate of 17 per year, which is a considerable number. But Japan grew by 19 percent over the same period, while China grew by more than 30 percent. It is almost certain that China is now producing an increasing number of highly educated scientists and engineers. ”

"Of course, the numbers don't tell the whole story. To create truly useful innovations, it's not enough to know a lot of knowledge: you must also be able to creatively apply the wisdom of the book to solve real problems. Universities in the United States and Europe continue to be the best at turning bright students into prolific inventors. ”

"Take Dr. Wang Zhu, a young Chinese scientist who is in high demand, for example. He grew up in China, but chose to study at universities in the United Kingdom and the United States, and although he returned to China after graduation, he contributed to the development and exchange of aviation between China and the United States. ”

"America is all

The engine of economic growth, because the U.S. has a vital pool of smart tech talent and deep-pocketed investors, and crucially, a culture that encourages these people to take risks in pursuit of the next great idea. They can make big bets because they can rely on enforceable sound laws to protect truly innovative ideas. ”

"But these days, in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, there is no shortage of smart people or wealthy investors. In many parts of China, attitudes towards risk-taking and intellectual property are beginning to shift in favor of inventors. ”

"Of course, these areas still have a long way to go. Walking in Guangzhou's large industrial goods market, you will see the latest products, and the prices are surprisingly cheap. Cheap because they are all imitations made by imitating designs. ”

"As an economic strategy, plagiarism works when the main competitive advantage is cheap labor. But if you're smart, you can jump a few steps up the value creation ladder. Across China, political and business leaders are pondering similar shortcuts to creating a tech-enabled economy. There are two basic elements of a technology-based economy: first, a large number of well-educated and motivated inventors, and second, a patent system that guarantees a return on corporate investment. ”

"In China, these elements are taking shape. Like Dr. Fu Jing

To be one of China's best inventors is like China's Edison. In just one year, his 'people and companies' filed patents for about 700 new inventions. Dr. Fu Jing initiated and won dozens of lawsuits to defend his patents.

Become a Chinese folk hero. ”

"The Chinese government clearly wants to encourage more of these systematic inventions. Last year it had released a 10-year national strategy with a goal of 200,000 patent applications a year by 1931. The number of patent applications filed in China in 1919 was about 75,000. China's patent sector will be larger, more efficient, and more enforceable. ”

"If all

Together, the flood of Chinese imitation aircraft will gradually reduce to a trickle, as Chinese companies will begin to produce their own aircraft worthy of imitation. Analysts in some of our countries expect that China will overtake Japan in patent filings this year. ”

"In addition to the economically developed coastal areas, you can also see the number of inventions growing at a similar rate in other parts of China. For the West, it makes no sense to lament this trend. We need to get used to it, and start adapting to it. ”,

"The first step in adapting to it is to stop hindering the competitiveness of our own inventors. While China is strengthening its patent system, the U.S. Congress hesitated to reform the patent before finally voting on the legislation last month. These pieces of legislation, while not perfect, are a step in the right direction. Including our own company that invents new technologies and buys and sells high-tech patents, U.S. companies need an efficient and reliable patent office to thrive. ”

"We also need to remember that China, in terms of scientific and technological advancement, will be a first-class partner of the United States, which will benefit the West on many levels. This will strengthen China's domestic middle class and expand trade ties

Stronger economic growth paves the way. It will also empower more countries to contribute to major new breakthroughs in other scientific and technological fields. ”

"So let's stop being short-sighted and afraid of being defeated by China, which has a strong ability to innovate. Yes, they are closing in on us.

Even if the share of Western countries in global scientific and technological innovation becomes smaller in the coming decades, it can be complete

The whole cake of technological innovation will be much bigger than it is now......"

Rockefeller (referring to John Jr.?) Davidson? Rockefeller) listened to the speech, turned his head to his daughter Babs next to him and smiled and said: "It seems that our relationship with China,

It has entered a new phase. ”

Through the content of the speech just now, Rockefeller

We can feel the atmosphere of friendship with China that pervades the United States.

As a first

A staunch ally of the United States in the Great War, the squadron and the U.S. team stood side by side to maintain it

Peace has made a huge contribution, and thanks to the accession of China, the United States has been in the first place

There were only a few casualties in the war, and after the war, the United States and China were both praised as countries that "did not participate in the partition". At the Paris Peace Conference, China gave full support to US President Wilson's "14-Point Proposal," making it an important cornerstone of the "League of Nations" that was established subsequently. After the war, China's previous unequal treaties with Western countries were abolished, and the "open door" principle of the United States was further embodied, so that even the most staunchly conservative isolationists in the United States now regard China as America's closest partner in Asia.

"Now China,

Became an open and free country, Dad. Babs blinked her big beautiful eyes, looked at her father and said, "Me."

very

China to take a look. ”

"We'll have a chance soon." Rockefeller nodded, "Because we're going to open our oil company in China." ”

"What do you say? Father? Babs looked at her father with some surprise, "Didn't you say before that there is very little oil in China?" But now you're telling me that you're planning to invest in China? ”

"That's right." Rockefeller handed a newspaper to his daughter, and Babs took it and looked at it, and in a very inconspicuous place at the bottom left foot of the newspaper, there was news of the discovery of an oil field in Central Siberia.

"Isn't that place in Russia?" Babs asked, returning the newspaper to her father.

"It's Chinese land now." Rockefeller put the newspaper away without changing his face and said, "We're going to take advantage of it."

When not many people know the news, hurry up. ”

"Are you sure it's not a fake piece of news?" Babs asked, a little uneasy.

"It's not fake, I sent someone to investigate." Rockefeller's face flushed with excitement, "It's a land floating on oil. ”

"What are you going to do?" Babs asked again.

"Don't you want to go to China? My dear daughter. Rockefeller smiled and patted his daughter's hand, "This time, I need your help." ”

Babs heard her father's words, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

"As far as I know, the Chinese general who owns the right to develop this land is not in Beijing right now, so I don't need to come forward yet." Rockefeller said, "I need you to go to Peking, my dear, and get in touch with his wife first." ”

"Are you talking about General Yang Shuoming, the hero who resisted Japanese aggression?" Babs asked.

"Yes." Rockefeller nodded, "If we want to invest in China, this person's support is indispensable." ”

"Don't worry, dear, me

After investigation, the general's wife was a gentle and beautiful woman, she was also very talented, and she controlled the largest pharmaceutical and chemical production enterprise in China. She has a very easy-going personality and you will be pleasant to contact her. Seeing his daughter's somewhat worried look, Rockefeller said with a smile. ,

"Okay, Dad." Babs said solemnly and firmly.

Rockefeller nodded in satisfaction, and his gaze returned to the speaker on the podium, but at this time his thoughts,

Flew to the far east.

Russia, Moscow, Bolshaya Rubyanka Street.

Zhang Yating, who was wearing a "Cheka" black uniform, walked carefully on the street, and she looked at the lifeless street from time to time, as if she was afraid that someone would suddenly rush out and arrest her.

Although she had been here before, when she returned to her hometown at this time, she felt that the atmosphere here was even more depressing and dignified than before.

"What are you thinking? Angela? Comrade Christina? A "Cheka" gay man who showed her the way asked with a smile.

"Nothing."

Although the male "anti-rebel worker" just asked casually and did not have any malicious intent, Zhang Yating was keenly aware of the danger of this way of talking and immediately replied.

She knew that even the senior members of the "anti-rebellion committee" were wary of each other.

The All-Russian Ad Hoc Committee for the Suppression of Counter-Workers and Sabotage (i.e., the "Committee for the Suppression of Anti-Rebellion", "Cheka") was established on December 20, 1917. The establishment of the "Committee for the Suppression of Rebellion" was a necessary temporary measure for the Soviet regime, which Lenin, the great leader of the Soviet regime, had not

Before the Bolsheviks on October 25, 1917 (November 7 in the new calendar), Lenin did not even envisage when it would be necessary to establish a political police bureau or a foreign intelligence service. Two months after February**, the overthrow of the Tsar, Lenin returned to Petrograd and began to look forward to it

A new era of movement. They believe that there is no place for diplomats, let alone spies, in the new international order. After October, Lev? When Trotsky accepted the post of People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, he declared: "I want to

The people of all ethnic groups issued a few notices and then closed down the shop. He ordered the publication of the secret treaties concluded between the tsarist government and its allies, declaring that "the renunciation of secret diplomacy is the main condition for the conduct of an upright, people's, and genuinely democratic foreign policy." ”。
