The world is realistic. The benefits of being rich are not only reflected in luxury houses, but also in various life details. For example, taking a plane, a popular flight from Los Angeles to Hong Kong is a popular flight. First class cabin has to be booked a few days in advance, but Shen Chong made a phone call in the middle of the night. The next morning, Yuntong Company sent a special person to deliver the air tickets.

Chen Chong stayed in the United States for nearly two months, busy and spent less than a week with Zhang Aijia. This time she had only been there for one night and was about to leave again, which made her reluctant and farewell, which was a unique charm compared to Li Kaiyuan's Yu Qianluo.

Although he is usually well-known when dealing with people and never lacks etiquette, he actually hates red tape very much. This is most obvious when traveling. No matter where he goes, he only brings a small box and holds a few daily necessities, leaving at will, never ink.

There is more than 10,000 kilometers apart between Los Angeles and Hong Kong, and even a direct flight takes about 16 hours. In order to pass the time, Chen Chong brought a book, a book that he had just published, a book that he exclusively bought out the Chinese copyright, and a book that he had read many times in his previous life - "The Third Wave".

"The Third Wave" is the most famous work of Alvin Toffler, one of the masters of futurism and social thinkers. It is also his representative work. It was published in March 19RU. In his book, he divided human social development into three stages.

The first is the "agricultural stage", that is, humans entered an agriculture-based society from the primitive and barbaric fishing and hunting era, which took thousands of years to form a social structure based on family.

The second time was the "industrial stage", which took 300 years and destroyed the ancient agricultural civilized society. In this wave, families were no longer economic units that work together, small families, factory-style schools and large companies, forming the social structure of the second wave. During this period, affected by standardized industrial production, society pursued consistency, advocated uniformity, and refused to be innovative.

The "third wave" began to emerge in the United States in the 1950s. Based on information and high technology, on the premise of innovative people, and on the purpose of "integration of production and sales" to meet the diverse needs of human personalities, informatization or service industry has become the mainstream. Society is no longer measured by technical and material living standards, but measured by colorful culture. Diversified, personalized, miniaturized, and interactive production has become the mainstream of industry. People advocate individuality and refuse to be the same.

Toffler analyzed the impact of this wave on all aspects of human society, from micro personal feelings to macro global political and economic trends. In addition, he also made many predictions about the future. For example, multinational corporations are about to prevail, the world will enter the era of electronic networks, and it is possible to work from home with computers. People can watch TV programs on wired or wireless networks, online stores, door-to-door delivery, and cash-on-delivery business models will also appear...

You should know that in 19RU, even the TCPp protocol had not been released. Even senior computer experts, few people had concepts about the global Internet, and Alvin Toffler could predict the rise of business models such as utu and Amazon more than 20 years ago. This vision is extraordinary and not inferior to the time travel party.

In Shen Chong's previous life, after the publication of "The Third Wave", it caused a great response worldwide. "Business Weekly" believes that it is "the eternal coordinates of interpreting the present and future of mankind." The Guardian of the United Kingdom believes that it is "a super great work". In 1983, Sanlian Bookstore introduced this book and deleted the content about criticizing Marx, it was released on a large scale in 1984, quickly becoming one of the best-selling books in the mainland, with sales of up to 10UU,000 copies.

Countless people have read this book, but unfortunately, whether domestic or foreign, they take it seriously and use it as a reference to carry out personal prospect planning or commercial activities, because everyone likes to predict the future, but paradoxically, no one believes that the future can really be predicted.

But believers who regard his words as the standard and have the ability to practice them all make achievements and achieve great achievements. For example, Ted Turner believes in his prediction of informatization, so CN was born. For example, Steve believes in his prediction of the Internet, so L became an Internet giant, and US President Clinton, who is also his believer, so the "Information Expressway" plan costing hundreds of billions was launched, laying the foundation for the US economic revival and seizing global cyber hegemony...

Not to mention the Internet, which only emerged twenty years later, Toffler recently predicted that "the world economy will enter a state of asset restructuring and asset transfer, and some people will obtain unpredictable wealth from it." This is true. In the early dU era, a wave of mergers and acquisitions emerged around the world. Anyone who is brave and has a reliable vision will be ate and has a gulp.

But at this time, the US economy was at the bottom, so no one believed Toffler's words. In the past two months, the US media's sarcasm to Shen Chong is proof that he spent $400 million in the United States, investing more than 30 stocks, and acquiring more than a dozen companies in different fields. The New York Times believes that he is a "crazy and ignorant nouveau riche, as if he had missed Wall Street and had no idea about investment." The Wall Street Journal columnist even bluntly stated that he was "forgetful and hit by a plane in his head."

The more this happened, the more Alvin Toffler's extraordinary vision was revealed. Therefore, after Shen Chong finished his work on Wall Street, he visited him specially. Not only did he buy the Chinese publication rights of "The Third Wave", but he also added a special item to the agreement: Shen Chong can publish a Chinese review version based on this book.

Shen Chong added this article, and his skills were unbearable. Anyway, even in the 21st century, few people thought that "future learning" was a rigorous science, and more regarded it as a charlatan. Since that is the case, why not release the future knowledge that he knows but has no energy or interest in in it in the form of comments? Assuming that this book can still sell 10,000 copies in the mainland, without asking for more, among these 10,000 readers, 10 take his words seriously and have the ability to do something for a career, maybe China will have more business giants or technology experts in the future.

Before getting off the plane, Shen Chong used a pencil to mark a paragraph of the text on the book signed by Toffler: "Faced with the impact of civilization in the third wave, everyone must consciously eliminate three types of illiteracy, namely illiteracy in writing, computer illiteracy and media illiteracy."
