Chapter 1136 1136 Yay, Fourth Shift
After the departure of the heads of state and the goddess, the fair continued, and the exhibition grounds in Berlin became a tourist attraction throughout Europe, and everyone came to see the gravity-free paradise.
The mayor of Berlin laughed so hard that his teeth fell out because the number of tourists had filled all the beds in Berlin, and many Berliners even chose to take a vacation to their hometown in the countryside and rent their houses to tourists.
The large number of tourists also makes all retail owners in Berlin happy.
This is the case in this era, where there is a flow of people, there is an economy, and measures that can attract customers are good measures. It's a pity that many people don't understand this. For example, in another time and space, there are always people who criticize how much money a certain oriental city spends on the World Expo, but they don't think about how many business opportunities the huge flow of people at the World Expo brings.
Of course, not all people everywhere can enjoy this benefit, but the overall economic benefits brought by the flow of people at the Expo cannot be erased.
Besides, municipal investment in this kind of thing can itself provide employment opportunities for the society and build roads and important people, right? The materials used in road construction need to be produced by people, right? In the process of building the road, we need someone to provide logistical support, right? Machinery needs to be maintained, right? Money is there and it has no value, it's just paper, and the money that flows is money. Is it still possible for the city government to collect taxes and not make municipal investment? So what's the point?
Therefore, the money spent on holding large-scale events cannot be calculated in terms of simple income and expenditure, even if the money is used for fireworks, it is not "burned by a fire", and the money goes to the hands of fireworks companies, and then flows downwards to become the wages of workers or the income of lower raw material suppliers.
Of course, some people don't understand these truths, and they don't want to understand them, they just care about "why didn't I give me this money", and these people don't think "I want to use my labor/ingenuity to earn this money", they just want the government to save the money and give it to them for free.
Such people have also appeared in today's Germany, and some newspapers are keenly aware of the savings of these people, so they began to publish editorials ridiculing Lin Youde for wasting money. "I did a face-saving project, ignoring that some people under the Alps were still grazing", like this, Lin Youde's familiar argument appeared in the German newspaper.
When Lin Youde saw these editorials, he felt a little crying and laughing, which reminded him of the days when he was arguing with people on the Internet in another time and space a long, long time ago.
However, the current Lin Youde is the "Zhao family" with strong roots, this is a classic stalk from Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q", in this novel, Ah Q once claimed that he had a little relationship with Master Zhao, but after being beaten, he asked: "You are also worthy of the surname Zhao?" ”
As a "Zhao family", Lin Youde thought about how to deal with this kind of remarks for a while, and then he felt that it was better to ignore him. It is impossible for him to press to death all the people who have that kind of thinking, which does not conform to the image he has always created, and secondly, this must be a large-scale massacre, which does not conform to his own moral bottom line, and it seems too unfortunate to do so.
And as long as there are people who think like this among the people, editorials like this will be endless, and ten will grow if you catch a stinky literati, just like leeks, you can't cut them all.
Instead of doing useless work, it is better to strengthen your own propaganda front and promote a positive image.
So Lin Youde began to deploy publicity, and he made a TV show for the residents of Berlin to tell about the benefits provided to him by the tourists brought by the expo, and he also made a report for the development of the conference, and released real economic figures. He also rushed to work on a TV series, telling about the encounter and romantic love between a foreign princess and a Berlin boy who came to visit the fair, and the script of this TV series called "Berlin Love" is basically copied from Korean dramas, and Lin Youde stuffed all the Korean dramas he has not watched much.
In order to match this story told from the perspective of the male protagonist, Lin Youde produced a TV series in the style of a Mary Sue movie on the toilet table, and the prince in it smiled with a feeling of "I contracted this fish pond".
What kind of quality can the two TV series produced temporarily, and Lin Youde didn't put much effort into the script, it was all dictated and asked someone to complete it after recording the synopsis, but Lin Youde put a lot of effort into the casting of the male and female protagonists, they are all handsome guys and beauties, and he also personally used his artistic plug-in to direct some key scenes in the film. For example, the scenes of encounters, kiss scenes, etc., etc., these scenes are filmed beautifully and abnormally.
I didn't expect these two films to get quite a good response, even in the West in this era, there are many housewives, and there are not many women pursuing independent careers, and these two dramas have become the dramas that housewives like to watch.
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, Lin Youde has already seen the magic of a MV that can get hundreds of millions of box office in another time and space. By the way, Lin Youde clearly remembered that when he saw several films released at the same time that were really making movies at the box office exceeding those two MVs, he felt very comfortable in his heart. What cabinet flowers bloom in what micro era, even a cartoon can't be compared, weak chicken! Brother Monkey turned your mouth with a stick of grass!
With these two soap operas, Lin Youde successfully made half of the German population have a favorable opinion of the World Expo, and fundamentally defeated those who oppose the World Expo.
Therefore, as long as it is used properly, soap operas can become a powerful propaganda tool, which is just as good as flash animations can arouse patriotic enthusiasm.
In October 1958, Lin Youde's spacecraft Normandy 5 successfully docked with Normandy 4 in earth orbit, completing the verification of the spacecraft's automatic control system, proving that the current stage of the automatic control system can complete complex docking operations under the supplementary operation of people.
Subsequently, Lin Youde's astronauts performed the first spacewalk in human history to verify the reliability of the spacesuit.
After the mission, Lin Youde announced that the first unmanned lunar spacecraft would be launched in February 1959 to verify the reliability of the lunar landing system, and a second lunar landing mission would be carried out in May, this time to verify the technical feasibility of the lunar module taking off from the moon and returning to space.
After this news was issued, astronomy and aerospace enthusiasts all over the world were very excited. Alden? Armstrong's young U.S. Air Force pilot wrote in his diary: "It's a shame that in these exciting times of opening up the universe, I can only fly in the atmosphere." ”
The diary was discovered by a colleague, who then reported the diary to the Un-American Committee, and Armstrong immediately faced court-martial, and finally after writing a long declaration of loyalty, he was removed from the army and returned home to become a farmer.
