907 We are strong
"Of course it can't be, it's what our family has worked so hard to save."
Jiang Hua said with a smile: "These graduates in our country have been trained by their own country's hard work, but now they want to go to other people's homes to build their country, and you also told me to build a global village, for the good of all mankind, I don't know if all mankind is good or not, anyway, we are very bad." ”
The builder of the global village just now suddenly choked, and someone next to him said with a smile: "People have a big pattern, and they have the whole world in mind, but they can't tolerate their motherland." ”
The students burst into laughter, and the builder of the global village was anxious: "I just yearn for a better life, is it wrong?" I just want to follow the strong, is that wrong? Everyone will have a strong mentality. ”
"So you think from the bottom of your heart that the ugly country is the strongest, and our country is weak, right?"
"That's right, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, we are all weak."
Jiang Hua looked around: "I'm afraid there are many people who think like him, right?" ”
Many people nodded, and Jiang Hua smiled: "If African countries and South American countries hear this, I don't know how hypocritical we are." ”
The students who listened to the lecture looked at Jiang Hua in a state of confusion, looking forward to his explanation.
"Since 1840, our country has begun to decline and decline, I do not admit this, but are we really weak?"
"According to the calculations of Western formal scholars, in 1820. Our country's GDP accounted for one-third of the world's, and at that time, Great Britain accounted for only five percent of the world's GDP, and then after two Opium Wars, we declined, and our economic strength is still among the top ten in the world. ”
"As for military strength, it was indeed the old army at that time, but I am sure that it can beat more than half of the countries in the world, and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance is not also eight to one, although it is rubbing on the ground by the world's powers, but after that, a new army has also been established, especially in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, it can also send naval ships to South America for military deterrence, although the Qing government is gone after returning to China."
"So, are we really at the bottom of the world as you imagine?" Jiang Hua shook his head: "No, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, we are not strong, but we are not the weakest, we are just not as strong as you expect." ”
Jiang Hua nodded and said, "Why do we have this thought?" Because from the perspective of the glory left to us by our ancestors, we have been the first in the world for a long time, and if we are not the first, we will fail. ”
The students bowed their heads and were silent, they all thought in their hearts what Jiang Hua had just said, it seemed to be very reasonable, the reason why we think we are weak is because our ancestors are too strong, so we have the illusion that the first thing is to decline.
"You say you have a strong mentality? I agree with it, I also have a strong mentality, we envy those strong, but it doesn't mean that we have to follow behind the strong, we should have a kind of ambition, he is a strong man, I envy him, but I want to work hard secretly, one day I will also become a strong man. ”
The students applauded enthusiastically, and they agreed with Jiang Hua's statement.
"It is a miracle that our country's industrialization has come to this day. It took more than 200 years for the industrialization of Western countries, and it took only 50 years for us to reach their level. ”
There was another round of applause, and some even shouted Long live the motherland.
"Senior Brother Jiang, you have said so much, all from the general direction, can you tell us more about our openness? And if we develop in the future, how should we work hard after graduation? ”
Jiang Hua laughed: "You can be regarded as asking about my shortcomings, what I am not good at is to grasp the details, my own company is managed by others, I have always been a hands-off shopkeeper, but since you asked, I will try to answer it." ”
"We are now engaged in a labor-intensive industry. According to my estimates, within the next ten years. I'm afraid it's hard to get out of such a pattern. ”
"Why?"
"Because technology and capital need to be accumulated." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "We can't be like foreigners, their capital accumulation is obtained by plundering and colonization, that is, the reason why ugly countries can rise after World War I, why?" They have made a lot of war money, what do they rely on for their technological accumulation? They plundered the industrial achievements of the Hans country, and this was also the case after the Second World War, as for the country of Johns, they were indeed the first to carry out the industrial revolution, but then they gradually gave up the technological leadership, and turned to financial trade, and the accumulation of funds was completely dependent on colonization and plunder, so our technology and capital technology accumulation was much more difficult than theirs. ”
"No wonder capital. You say that every copper plate of the capitalists is stained with dirty blood and sweat. ”
"But obviously, this is also beneficial, the accumulation of this decade can allow us to accumulate a large number of skilled workers. Although it is only engaged in the primary manufacturing stage of basic technical workers, but a large base will inevitably emerge a group of high-tech, so as to meet the needs of our technological upgrading. ”
"What about the accumulation of funds?"
"In this decade, we can grow into a factory all over the world, providing the world with high-quality and low-cost goods, although small profits and quick turnover, but we will get a huge amount of money to develop ourselves, because the whole world recognizes that we are a hot land, and we can make money by investing."
"Senior Brother Jiang, what kind of scene will we be after the twenty-first century?"
"Two thousand years later, we will be stronger than now, but the strength is limited, still not as good as those developed countries, but I think after 30 years of accumulation, after that we will embark on a high-speed development path, at that time, our country will gradually become one of the world's most powerful countries."
"I wish that day would have come sooner."
"As you'll see, you were probably in your fifties at the time, and I was probably going to be seventy." Jiang Hua smiled: "Don't worry, you see I'm not in a hurry, I'm pretty sure I can see that day, you are still twenty years younger than me, just work hard, as long as we work hard, we will definitely get the sweetest reward." ”
"Senior Brother Jiang, yours is now on the market. Although you say that education is very important, there are always people in the market who say that it is better to sell tea eggs than to engage in missiles, because the wages earned by studying missiles are not as much as those who sell tea and eggs. ”
