It was late at night, and only the large-screen color TV was on in the huge living room.
Michelle was sitting on the sofa, leaning on the pillow, her head propped up on one hand, staring at the TV. The picture showed the video of Qingfeng's interview with CCTV two days ago.
Almost not long after Zhou Qingfeng was interviewed, the CIA obtained the entire video recording of more than five hours, and it was delivered to Michelle via airmail across the ocean.
On TV, Zhou Qingfeng was chatting and laughing, scolding Fang Qiu. Facing the host's tough questions one after another, he spoke eloquently and handled them with ease. His demeanor surpassed that of his peers.
Michelle has been watching it for two or three hours. She understands Chinese and can even understand the idioms and allusions used by Zhou Qingfeng. The more she watches, the more excited and fascinated she becomes. Especially the discussion of the West is incisive.
for example......
"The Cold War was a heavy burden on both the Warsaw Pact and NATO. Now that the Warsaw Pact has collapsed, the European countries are naturally relieved. They will soon significantly reduce military spending and let the Americans shoulder the burden of NATO.
Before long, you will find that the size of the armies of European countries has been greatly reduced. Britain will have few warships left, Germany will have few tanks, France will show off its power with a small aircraft carrier, and Italy will become the strongest in Europe.
Even though they know it is a trap, the United States will definitely take care of it because it is too far away from the World Island.
Without a strong military and military bases all over the world, the United States’ influence on the world would not be much higher than that of South America. Its military spending as a percentage of GDP would remain at 5% for a long time.”
Oh oh...
Michelle stuffed a cherry into her mouth and sighed softly. The logic was simple, but the conclusion was correct. Based on what she heard from her father, the facts were indeed as Zhou Qingfeng said.
People who don't understand often talk a lot of nonsense in long speeches. Only people who understand can give answers in a few words. This is an ability only possessed by masters.
On TV, the host asked: "Mr. Zhou, how do you think the international situation will develop in the future?"
"In the next few years, the world will definitely become calm in general. But there will definitely be new forces that want to fill the void created by the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so regional hot spots will increase.
The world has entered a unipolar state, but the Americans find that they have no opponents, and the huge military-industrial system will definitely slow down the pace of development.
In order to earn more profits, it is inevitable for the U.S. manufacturing industry to move overseas. The financial industry will replace the manufacturing industry and become a new economic growth point.
Last year, the European Union was established, and Europe will move towards unity. They will definitely want to unite and speak with one voice. The emergence of the euro will also be an inevitable result, becoming a financial tool to compete with the US dollar.
As for Japan, its super-aging society is inevitable, and economic stagnation will not end in three to five years. A large amount of social wealth is controlled by a few people, and young people have lost their channels for advancement, and it is obvious that they will become lower-minded.
In addition, we need to pay attention to South Korea. It has undertaken a large amount of capital and technology transfer from Japan, its economy is taking off right in front of us, and it will soon become a new developed country."
Michelle listened with rapt attention. Zhou Qingfeng's explanation was basically consistent with what she had learned, and even more accurate. She stared at the TV with her beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but whisper: "Asshole, tell me about yourself."
As expected, the host asked about the outlook for the domestic economy.
On the screen, Zhou Qingfeng paused on this question for half a minute, looked at the ceiling of the studio, and sighed: "We are facing a crisis, and danger brings opportunity.
The domestic backward industrial system is not enough to support economic development. This is not only a problem of technology and capital, but more importantly, the workers themselves.
If industrial upgrading cannot be completed as soon as possible, the backward system will swallow up all the benefits of economic development. But upgrading will be extremely painful, and countless people will find that the work skills they relied on for a living have been eliminated.
So what we have to do is to create new industries and more jobs as much as possible. Let more people have jobs and income. The Holy Light has been doing this and doing its best.
But it is a pity that we are a country with a population of one billion. 'Holy Light' has expanded rapidly in the past two years and cultivated talents at an unprecedented speed, but so far it has only employed more than a hundred thousand people.
Therefore, it is our inevitable choice to integrate into international trade and seek technology and funds in the international market. Fortunately, we are facing the wave of manufacturing relocation from developed countries after the Cold War.
Countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan have a lot of funds. In order to obtain higher yields, they urgently need a good investment base. There is no better choice than us in the world.
Believe me, the capitalists will come. The speed and quantity will exceed everyone’s imagination. They will first move over the labor-intensive low-end manufacturing industry. For example, the textile industry.
Then, industries with high energy consumption and high pollution are also moved here, such as steel smelting, chemical industry, building materials and papermaking, shipbuilding and heavy industry, and even garbage disposal.
Although our current industrial system is backward, it is comprehensive and complete and can be connected with advanced industries.
Our popular education has brought a large number of junior workers, and our infrastructure is relatively complete. In the next two decades, our development speed will exceed human imagination, including ourselves."
Zhou Qingfeng said these words in an affirmative, affirmative, definite tone. The host of the interview was completely stunned. Michelle was a little dizzy. She wanted to laugh, but felt that this man was too arrogant.
But considering this man’s past achievements, who can deny or ignore them?
In the picture, Qingfeng slowly lowered his head again last week and said to himself: "The next is the critical period. The last ticket to developed countries falls into our hands. Whether we can board the last train depends on whether we can
tried.
The days to come will not be easy. We will suffer cold looks and ridicule, and endure a lot of internal and external suffering. Many of us will fall on the way forward, and many of us will leave the team and become enemies.
But we have no choice.
The enemy will not watch us grow stronger, they only want us to stay at the bottom and work as coolies. When we become strong enough, they will regard us as a major enemy that challenges them, and extreme pressure or even war may be possible. However.
....."
Zhou Qingfeng's expression suddenly turned playful, with a sense of schadenfreude, "Fortunately, the enemy will jump into the vicious circle of class tearing, and internal friction will greatly reduce their power.
The social structure of the United States is that of a country of immigrants where you can "share wealth" but cannot "share adversity". Besides... the eldest princess is quite beautiful, although her father is not very good."
Suddenly a "big princess" appeared, and the host thought that he heard it wrong. When he wanted to ask more questions, Zhou Qingfeng had recovered from his absent-minded state and completely denied that he had said this.
Michelle was also very strange. She listened to this paragraph over and over again, trying to determine what Zhou Qingfeng said. But she just couldn't figure out the specific meaning.
"What the hell, what do you mean by saying this mysteriously?" The little foreign girl was so curious that she wished she could pull Zhou Qingfeng out of the TV screen and ask him clearly.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the huge living room. Bang bang bang... it seemed extremely loud in the middle of the night.
Michelle was startled, turned around and asked in surprise: "Who is it?"
