Here in Hong Kong, there are many die-hard book lovers like Du Le. They still recognize the quality of "The Rise of Great Powers". And silently contributed a lot of sales.

After all, the idea of "The Rise of a Great Power" is several levels higher.

In the final analysis, "Casino" is nothing more than an introduction to the history of a certain navy of a certain country and popularized a lot of cold knowledge.

However, "The Rise of Great Powers" takes thinking and analyzes the reasons for the success of those great powers in an all-round way. And take history as a mirror, hoping to bring some inspiration to the rise of China.

This is a big deal for many readers!

Besides, the material of "Rise" is also much richer, which is about the same as a brief modern history of a certain great country? Even in terms of the amount of cold knowledge, that is an order of magnitude higher?

However, Hong Kong's mainstream media has lost its voice for a while, because ...... Are you really not familiar with that history?

In the first three volumes, three former great powers are introduced:

Portugal. It was a rival to Spain at its peak. Even the Western Holy See finally stepped forward and made a division for these two countries that are fighting openly and secretly, that is, the famous line in history - the papal meridian that divides the world;

Netherlands. Once known as the coachman of the sea. Colonies are also spread all over the world, one of the birthplaces of modern international commerce;

Spain. This one needs no introduction. Before the destruction of the Armada in the British Isles, Spain had established the world's first empire on which the sun never set......

Indeed, all three countries have been prominent throughout history. But now there are quite few people who know about their history, and no one is even interested in their history?

Since we don't know, how do we know if you're right? It is impossible to make a correct evaluation.

Fortunately, this eerie silence did not last long. In a certain TV show, someone finally talked about this "The Rise of Great Powers". That person is Huang Caizi, one of Hong Kong's talents!

"Huang Caizi, have you read Brother Yuan's recent book "The Rise of a Great Power?"

Huang Caizi admitted very calmly: "I bought it as soon as I bought it and read it at home." I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the latest trends. Hehe. ”

"And what do you feel about reading it?"

"It's amazing, it's really powerful."

"Huh? Do you have a high opinion of Brother Yuan? ”

"There are some things that cannot be said without a clear conscience." Huang Caizi explained with a smile, "I know that Brother Yuan's creative style has caused a lot of controversy. But the style of creation aside, from the perspective of a historian alone, his research is very in-depth. He should be a good scholar. ”

"Scholars?"

"Academics, of course. I don't know if you've read this book "The Rise of Great Powers". There are a lot of materials cited in it, which are carefully collected by Brother Yuan. I can't guarantee it's right, right? Because I don't have much research on foreign history. But at least it took a lot of hard work. And it's not a little bit of hard work. Do you know how difficult it is to collect all this information? is still an analysis and evaluation of some historical events, even I will be amazed when I see it. ”

"What do you mean? Brother Yuan must have real materials? ”

"Of course it is. It's just that he prefers to talk nonsense. Huang Caizi joked.

"Is it through those sassy words that you want to see the true face of Brother Yuan?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Huang Caizi's evaluation is still relatively fair.

Because in the first three volumes, a large number of sources are cited that are rarely seen at present, and a large number of ideas that are currently rare are thrown out.

Take, for example, the aforementioned papal meridian.

Another example is the Spanish phalanx.

In this era, when it comes to the Spanish phalanx, if it weren't for those professional researchers, maybe you wouldn't even have heard of the name. Of course, it has slowly become the standard for hegemony historical travel. Anyway, it's similar to making glass, making perfumes, and so on.

In fact, when it comes to Spain's glorious past, there are more people who know about the Armada, but fewer people know that the Spanish Army dominates Europe. They relied on the famous Gonzalo. Morality. The Spanish phalanx created by Córdoba. Even in modern warfare, the tactics of lining up to shoot were developed on the basis of the Spanish phalanx.

In addition, in the book "Rise", there is no exaggeration about the reasons for the rise of the three great powers. Those bloody histories are all normally narrated in the book, and they are basically objective and fair......

"Huang Caizi, can you guess the reason? Since Brother Yuan has real materials, why does he say things? ”

Huang Caizi laughed: "Personality dictates, right? ”

"Then what do you think of Brother Yuan's controversial remarks?"

"What can you say? Didn't he go to make movies himself? Huang Caizi laughed.

The host also smiled: "I heard that he has recently invested in movies in Hollywood? ”

Hong Kong's tabloids are still very powerful. Even with the latest news, they can still get first-hand news. Mainly because there are no secrets inside the metaverse. There will always be people who leak to the media.

Huang Caizi and the host looked at each other and smiled. About investing in Hollywood? There used to be a famous wrongdoer in Hong Kong, that is, Boss Zou of Golden Harvest.

Golden Harvest made a lot of money in Hong Kong, thinking that he could also play good Laiwu, but he didn't expect to lose all his underwear in the end.

You know, the projects they invest in also have very high-grossing films. For example: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the box office is as high as more than 100 million dollars? But it's still good to come to the dock pit and lose all your money?

Because of this, Jiahe later became short of funds and slowly fell into decline.

Boss Zou is even more sucking the blood of Hong Kong films, and wants to come to Haolaiwu to turn the book? In the same way, not only did the capital not turn over, but desperately squeezed Hong Kong filmmakers, and finally offended a large number of people......

So speaking of this matter - Brother Yuan's Yuan of the Metaverse invested in the Hollywood project? And still two? There are a lot of people here in Hong Kong who are gloating, and they are almost all watching it as a joke.

Of course, in this TV show, no one will publicly call out. Why should you offend people for no reason?

So Huang Caizi said with a smile: "That is, the courage of young people is commendable." However, I heard that they also have a lot of film projects in Hong Kong. I hope that Brother Yuan, like the book he wrote, will come up with his own real materials. Hehe. ”

Hong Kong's cultural circle and the entertainment industry itself are inseparable, and Huang Caizi can also be regarded as an insider. So when it comes to evaluating those contents, he doesn't have any psychological burden.

However, the last sentence of "hehe" has almost already indicated Huang Caizi's attitude.
