Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered December again. 1987 has passed in a blink of an eye. Just as it entered December, Liu Lang's family welcomed a guest.
"Professor Wilson, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Professor Wilson, an economist from Harvard University, and the person who came with him was none other than Louis Wang.
When Liu Lang first came to the United States, he had no money in his pocket, and just in time for the U.S. stock market to plummet, he earned tens of millions of dollars. At that time, Liu Lang gave Louis Wang a chance, so he gained the attention of Professor Wilson.
In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year and a half since the stock market crash in the United States. During this long time, Liu Lang and Professor Wilson only talked on the phone, all about his book "The Third Industry Wave".
In the more than two years since its publication, it has sold 1.5 million copies, making it the best-selling economics book in the United States for five years. Liu Lang received more than 3 million US dollars in royalties alone.
And Louis Wang also gained a lot this year. Although his opportunity was given by Liu Lang, he also seized this opportunity himself. Not to mention his knowledge, his economic analysis ability is no less than those of those
He is an expert, and Chinese people always have extraordinary tenacity. In his eyes, there is no rest time. It is common to work overtime and analyze various data on weekends.
Although Americans "deeply hate" overtime, any boss will take it seriously if they see their employees working so hard.
Talent and hard work are the only options for success. Louis Wang relied on these two points to become Professor Wilson's assistant, analyzing data and formulating research reports, becoming Professor Wilson's right-hand man.
Louis Wang was very grateful to Liu Lang and often called to greet him. He knew that without this magical child, his chances of getting ahead would be very small, and Liu Lang's future achievements would not be comparable to even Professor Wilson's. Being friends with such a person
It is also of great benefit to yourself.
"Liu, you little guy is too pushy now. I wonder if you have forgotten our agreement!"
Professor Wilson yelled when he saw Liu Lang.
"Professor, what agreement?"
Liu Lang was stunned.
"Let's take a look. I think you are no longer doing your job. It's also the entertainment industry that makes a lot of money! You make less by writing books. If it were me, I would make more money."
Professor Wilson curled his lips and said.
"Professor, you misunderstood. I don't care about Shengtang Company's affairs. They are all handled by specialized people. If I were to care about those things, you might not be able to find me!"
"Haha, you little guy is right, but these words are really hurtful. Others' hard work to make money is not worth your casual fun... Okay, let's not talk about this. We had an agreement at the beginning,
You said you were going to write a book about the future economic development of the United States, and I was responsible for publishing it. You must have remembered it this time!"
"Oh, that's it! Yes, we have an agreement, I remember it!"
Liu Lang has been too busy recently. The large amount of data analysis has overwhelmed him, and he has selectively forgotten some small things.
"Just remember it, but what about this book? It's the end of the year now, and your graduate career is almost over. What are your thoughts during the past year or so?"
Professor Wilson is really serious about this matter. In his opinion, Liu Lang has an insight into the development of the times that is unmatched by others, just like the "Third Industry Wave", which was published two years ago
After it was published, it immediately attracted the attention of professionals across the United States. Some people felt that the book was very logical and the content was convincing. However, some people felt that the book's description of China was really exaggerated. How could such a backward country be able to
Become the engine of world economic development?
What is the result? Two years is still a short time, but in the eyes of experts, China has begun to show huge market and labor potential.
Cheap labor has attracted hundreds of foreign-invested companies to settle in, and they can't stop them. They also purchase a large number of foreign products, amounting to billions of dollars. The Chinese government has also begun to build infrastructure, build roads, and build factories across the country.
Everyone is working hard. Last year, China's economic growth rate reached 10%, ranking among the top five countries in the world.
But these development results are not even a drop in the bucket for the entire Chinese market. It can be said that as long as China's policies do not change, this kind of development will continue. According to American analysis, China will continue to grow by 10%.
If the development speed of about 10 years is maintained for at least ten years, China's economic aggregate is likely to double its current size in ten years. Such a huge market will make any country jealous.
If this goal is really achieved, then Liu Lang's analysis in the book has a high chance of being achieved.
So now some people are beginning to analyze the true value of the book "Third Industry Wave". Some even think that China's economic development is probably based on this book, and the author Liu Lang is probably just a cover.
There is a large national team behind it.
Only Professor Wilson knows that Chinese economists may not be able to write this book. This is not a technical problem, but a high level of understanding of the problem. If you cannot reach the high level, you will not be able to write a corresponding article.
His student Wu He is the best economist in China. Even he is not so courageous, let alone others. Therefore, Professor Wilson always feels that this book was written by Liu Lang.
This "Third Industry Wave" is likely to become a classic book in the field of economics in the future. Even with the fermentation of time, the value of this book will truly become apparent. Come back to this book in five or ten years.
Only when you read the book can you truly feel the author's brilliance.
Liu Lang has an extremely keen sense of the development of the times. Professor Wilson does not think that his keenness is only in economics. Perhaps he will have even more unimaginable predictions in other industries. This is why he must find Liu Lang.
Reasons to write a book.
"Professor, I remember this! I started writing a book a month ago, and now the first draft has been basically completed. You and Brother Wang will wait for me here. I'll be right back!"
Liu Lang returned to his bedroom and took out a stack of manuscripts from the bottom of a bookshelf. There were more than 200 pages and about 100,000 words. The title of the book "Digital Survival" was written on the cover of the first page.
.
In fact, Liu Lang wrote this book in two months of spare time a year ago.
The book "Digital Survival" was so famous in previous lives that it was known as the Bible of the Information Age.
The book mentions the basic concepts, development trends, huge value and grand blueprint of the digital age of information technology, as well as the impact and value of information technology and the Internet on the times and people's lives.
