Chapter 56: Go to the Bar

CCTV's documentary series "The Rise of a Great Power" cannot be copied, because it contains information about World War II and the aftermath of the war, and it is only a relatively simple popular science video, and many deep-seated things are not developed at all.

When it comes to the British chapter, for example, why did the Industrial Revolution take place in Britain in the first place, and what are the important reasons besides Watt and the constitutional monarchy?

CCTV's "The Rise of Great Powers" did not have an in-depth analysis, and in order to reduce the negative impact, CCTV basically only mentioned the bright side in the description of the rise process of various countries, and almost brushed aside the dark parts, or even mentioned them at all.

For a large media like CCTV, this is nothing wrong, but for a "visiting professor" like Feng Zhou, it seems too dry, so Feng Zhou borrows from its basic framework, then adds more content to it, and throws in his own private goods. His aim is to use the rise of the major powers to analyze and suggest China's future development strategy, so that it will be more influential.

As the government of the Republic of China shouted "friendly people, inexplicably surprised, in the long run, the country will not be a country", severely suppressed the student demonstration, and finally after more than ten days, the students returned to the campus.

And with Feng Zhou's elective course in the UK, the number of students attending the lecture soon increased, and by the time he gave the third lesson, the classroom was already crowded.

"Professor Feng, what you said is so wonderful!"

"Professor Feng, the rise of Britain is so wonderful, I don't know which country do you plan to focus on in the next section?"

"Professor Feng, is your martial arts club still recruiting?"

......

After class, the students were very enthusiastic and asked questions around Feng Zhou.

After all, there are not many people in the whole world who are engaged in the topic of the rise of great powers, and there is a lot of information on the analysis of the rise of Spain and Portugal in Europe, but the analysis of Britain, France, Germany, the United States and Japan is relatively small.

Even if there is analysis, it is only a general or from an angle, rarely like the closure of the boat, from the political, economic, diplomatic, cultural and other aspects of the analysis, the cage can be strung together, and the content is wonderful and detailed, fascinating, and can always stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for a strong country.

After finally getting rid of the students, two foreigners greeted me.

One is Feng Zhou's old acquaintance, Wu Hai, the editor-in-chief of the Beijing-Tianjin Times, who gave Feng Zhou a warm hug, and then said with a smile: "Professor Feng, your lecture is very wonderful, and the analysis of our country is so accurate that it is simply remote, which makes me very excited." ”

Feng Zhou said lightly: "Thank you." ”

Woodhay laughed, pointed to the one next to him, and said, "This is Gerald, the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Zilinxi Newspaper". ”

"Hello Professor Feng. ”

Gerard said eagerly, "I love your Harry Potter very much, it's so wonderful. ”

"Thank you. Feng Zhou continued to spit out two words, his tone as calm as ever.

Because he understands that foreigners are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, of course they won't come to him because they are their book lovers, and they must have other purposes.

Sure enough, Wu Hai suddenly said eagerly: "Professor Feng, I am amazed by your erudition, and I would like to invite you to write for the Beijing-Tianjin Times, hoping to publish your "The Rise of a Great Power." I can even recommend your article to the head of The Times. ”

Gerald also hurriedly said: "Professor Feng, I hope that your theories and views can be published in the "Zilinxi Daily", especially your "The Rise of Great Powers" in the UK, I believe that even if I read your article in China, I will definitely be amazed by your erudition and talent." ”

When Feng Zhou was chatting with the two foreigners, a group of students not far away were all surprised.

"Who are those two people?"

"Didn't you listen to them introduce themselves, they are the editor-in-chief of the Beijing-Tianjin Times and the deputy editor-in-chief of the Zilinxi Daily. ”

"Yes, those two people were amazed by Professor Feng's talent and were asking him for a manuscript. ”

"Professor Feng is amazing!"

......

The fact that two foreign reporters made an appointment at the same time naturally aroused the amazement of the students, and even several professors and lecturers who came to listen to the lecture secretly admired.

No way, with their writing and talent, it would be good to be published in local newspapers, and foreign newspapers would not pay attention to their writing at all.

Facing the invitation of the two, Feng Zhou smiled: "I am very happy that my article will appear in two newspapers, I don't know ......"

"Like Harry Potter, how about 10 yuan for 1,000 words?" said Woodhead with a smile.

"The "Word Linxi Daily" is also willing to pay 10 yuan for 1,000 words!" Gerard said hurriedly with a straight face.

In the past, the manuscript fee given to Chinese literati, even if it was a cow like Lu Xun, was only 6 yuan per thousand words, but I didn't expect the Beijing-Tianjin Times to be so generous, and it was 10 yuan when I opened my mouth.

That's a huge price.

No way, even if it's super sky-high, Gerard has to follow, otherwise he will be reduced to a joke.

Feng Zhou said with a smile: "The two gentlemen came to me together, then I don't want to be hypocritical, so let's do it, my manuscript was published in the "Zilin West Daily" and the "Beijing-Tianjin Times" at the same time, what do you think?"

Woodhead and Gerald glanced at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, nodded in agreement, and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

When the two foreigners left, Lecturer Zhang, who had questioned him, came over and said with a smile: "Brother Hengzhou, you can already compete with Mr. Lu Xun." ”

"Han Fan lifted me up, but the articles I wrote tickled foreigners. Feng Zhou said with a smile.

Mr. Lu Xun is a literary giant of the Republic of China, and even a hundred years later, he is also a recognized master.

If it weren't for the quick money and fame of writing articles, he wouldn't have been a literati.

Lecturer Zhang's name is Zhang Ye, the word Han Fan, because he often speaks up, he is known as the head of the "Four Wonders of Nankai", this person can't rub sand in the eyes of academics, but he is low-key and tolerant in life, and he is also a gentleman.

Since Feng Zhou's first class, after being refuted by Feng Zhou, he didn't get angry, but humbly asked for advice, and soon became friends with Feng Zhou, which is amazing.

"A bar on Zhangde Road has just opened, and it is very clean, how about going to sit together, and then call Huo Chongcheng, Cui Peng, and Zheng Zheng?"

"Since the Han Domain has a treat, of course I have no problem. Feng Zhou laughed.

It turns out that Zhang Ye's biggest hobby is to go to the bars to hang out, whether it is in various districts of Tianjin or in various places in the concession, he has appeared, and almost the entire field of Tianjin has been touched.

And the three people he said, Huo Chongcheng, Guangliang, Cui Peng, Xiangyu, and Zheng Zheng, together with him Zhang Ye, are known as the "Four Wonders of Nankai", everyone has a wild personality, but they all have real talents.

"Han Fan, do you still dare to go to the bar, not afraid of being caught by Miss Liu?" Huo Chongcheng asked with interest as soon as they met.

It turns out that Zhang Ye's family is extraordinary, and he has been engaged to the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jinmen, the other party has a good family education, virtuous and virtuous, and he doesn't like Zhang Ye but wanders around the bar, it is said that once Miss Liu cried and cried in Zhang's house all day, forcing Zhang Ye to swear never to go to the bar again, so he was not embarrassed.
