The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

  It took Henry three days to finally read "The Rise of a Great Power: America".

  In the original edition, "America" ​​used a lot of space to analyze and describe the economic crisis and the impact of World War II and the post-war period. It was obviously impossible for Zhou Hexuan to do so, because those things did not happen.

"The next U.S. presidential election will end with Hoover's victory and Smith's defeat. These two presidential candidates are both civilians, one was a salesman and the other was a miner. But Hoover's advantage The fact is that he is a Protestant, while Smith is a Catholic. We look at the past presidents of the United States, from Washington, Lincoln, and now Coolidge, all the presidents have three things in common, namely, male, white and Protestant. Although American law There's no rule about what kind of candidate can become president, but traditional Americans don't seem ready to vote for a Catholic...

If    Hoover can be elected as the next American, he will be very lucky. He came from a poor working-class family. He lost his father and mother when he was young, and only had the opportunity to go to university with the help of his uncle. He started as a miner at the bottom, grew into an engineer step by step, then succeeded in business, and successfully entered the political arena. This kind of inspirational story of a poor man from the bottom of his life and his own struggle to the top of his life, I will call it the American dream..."

   Henry couldn't help laughing when he read this, he liked the phrase "American Dream" very much. He is living his own American dream. He has to rely on his own efforts to support his mother and younger siblings, and he will have a wonderful career in the future.

   But when Henry continued to read, he suddenly frowned:

   "Hoover is lucky, but he is destined to face tragedy, and I can predict that he will become the most unlucky president of the United States, no one.

   The world war ten years ago reversed the world pattern centered on Europe, and the international status of the United States rose rapidly. The American industry was also promoted. Taking advantage of the European war (there was no "World War I" at this time), American businessmen made a lot of money and developed from light industry to heavy industry in an all-round way. But the war in Europe has ended, the European countries have redeveloped, and coupled with the competition from Japan, the supply of American industrial products has begun to exceed demand.

   In recent years, the US industrial output has experienced stagnation, and the number of unemployed people in the US has continued to increase. In stark contrast, the stock market in the United States is abnormally prosperous. According to my prediction, there will be an economic crisis by 1929 at the latest. Like the economic crisis of 1857, this one will be worldwide, originating in the United States and affecting the world..."

   World Economic Crisis?

  Henry, who is not yet 30 years old, has no memory of the world economic crisis decades ago. But he greatly admires the author of the book "The Rise of Great Powers", and according to the analysis in the book, it seems to make sense.

   Is the U.S. stock market really going to crash next year?

   Henry found various financial newspapers to read, but the newspapers were full of good news. There are even a variety of funny stories, such as a certain housewife using pocket money to invest in stocks, and bought a car in half a year.

Before   , Henry would definitely be stimulated by these news and threw himself into the stock market more frantically. But now they are extremely calm, and even feel scared. When the whole people fall into a frenzy, this in itself is a red flag.

   However, the huge profits in stocks still attracted Henry, and he was reluctant to quit now.

   For half a year, yes, buy stocks for another half a year. Within half a year, the stock market should still be safe, Henry comforted himself.

And at this moment, in an office in New York, Jesse Livermore was flipping through "The Rise of the Great Powers" and said to himself: "It's an interesting book, but the author is too ignorant of the U.S. stock market. Pessimistic."

  Lee Fermore is a legendary figure who started out as an apprentice cleaning the blackboard in his phone and gradually grew into the most active speculator in the US stock market. Twenty years ago, he shorted US stocks and made a huge profit of 3 million US dollars. As a result, the US stocks crashed. Even financial giant J.P. Morgan sent someone to beg him to stop shorting.

  To make big money is not by stock price fluctuations, but by big market fluctuations - this is the famous saying of Li Feimore, who is now waiting for a big fluctuation in the US stock market.

   As Zhou Hexuan predicted in "The Rise of a Great Power", Li Feimore also felt that the US stock market was about to collapse in the past two years, and he was always ready to play a big deal.

   Of course, Li Feimore only believes that the US stock market will collapse, but he does not believe in any economic crisis. He regards the so-called economic crisis as nonsense and delusions. When the stock market crash comes, he will use the money earned from short selling to buy potential stocks at the bottom.

   Well, Li Feimore in history made more than 100 million US dollars when the US stock market crashed. Then he bought stocks at the bottom of the bargain, thinking that the stock market crash would end within a year, and after this period of time, the potential stocks in his hand could make a lot of money again.

   As a result, he was stuck and ended up going bankrupt.

   "Jesse, have you read the book I recommended?" Markas walked into the office.

Li Feimore smiled and said: "I have seen "America", and I agree with some of the author's views. But he said that the United States was going to have an economic crisis in 1929, which I think is a big joke. When the author wrote the book, he must have a bad head. wide awake."

Markas, a history professor at Harvard University, was invited by the publishing house to write a preface to "The Rise of Great Powers". He said with a serious expression: "I think that Mr. Zhou Hexuan's description in the book is very reasonable. Therefore, I advise You still have to be cautious."

   "Haha, I'm just waiting for this stock market crash," Li Feimore said happily, "Don't worry, you are my old friend, and making money will definitely bring you."

  Marcus shrugged, he would only play with Lifermore until the stock market crash, and then retreat and leave after earning a small amount of money.

   This major stock market crash in the United States was expected by many people of insight. Even they are still pushing hard, the US government keeps calling on investors to calm down, but these guys preach that the US stock market can prosper for another four years, just to entrap investors to make a lot of money.

   But no one expected that the stock market crash was accompanied by an economic crisis, and these greedy vampires eventually pushed themselves into the grave.

  Professor Markas has a class tomorrow. He came to New York to give an academic lecture this time. He took the train back to Harvard University in Massachusetts that night. He walked into the classroom with "The Rise of a Great Power" and said to his students after the main lesson: "I recommend an after-school reading, which was written by a Chinese scholar and called "The Rise of a Great Power". I hope everyone can read it. After you finish this book, you can choose any post-reading testimonials. This is considered an assignment and can be completed within this month.”

   As soon as Markas left, the Harvard history students talked a lot:

   "World history books written by the Chinese? Haha, I heard that right."

   "Professor Markas must be crazy to let us read a work that has no reputation."

   "That is, what good things can the Chinese write? They can't even read a world map."

   "I know China, where people have braids on the back of their heads."

   "This is the homework assigned by the professor. Do you dare not read it? Let's go and buy books together."

  “…”

   Facing the cynicism of the American students, Chen Rongjie left the classroom with a livid face. He is a graduate of Lingnan University. He just received his master's degree from Harvard last year. He is now studying for a doctorate. Although he majors in philosophy, he often comes to take courses in history.

   Americans have no understanding of China, and they are full of discrimination. This kind of discrimination deeply hurt Chen Rongjie's heart. He had already made up his mind to use English to introduce hundreds of Chinese scholars and conquer Americans with traditional Chinese ideas.

  Chen Rongjie went to the off-campus bookstore to buy "Rise of a Great Power", but was told that the book was not available. He went to three bookstores to buy it. It seems that the circulation of this book is not large, and the distribution is not widespread.

   Buying a book and returning to the dormitory, Chen Rongjie couldn't wait to open it and read it, but it was dawn when he read it, and he actually read it all night.

   "It was actually written by us Chinese, what a masterpiece!" Chen Rongjie couldn't help but sigh.

  Chen Rongjie went to Harvard University's Chinese alumni gathering on weekends with "Rise of Great Powers". He met Liang Sicheng as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't wait to recommend it: "Brother Sicheng, I got a masterpiece a few days ago, written by the Chinese! Look it up."

  Liang Sicheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the title: "I know this book, my father mentioned it in the letter. The author named Zhou Hexuan is still the president of Peking University."

   "Really? When I graduate and return to China, I must visit Peking University for advice!" Chen Rongjie said.

At this moment, Jiang Zehan also came in with the book in hand, and when they met, he said, "Brother Liang, Brother Chen, I have a good book to recommend to you. It's called "The Rise of a Great Power". It was written by the Chinese. I read it in China last year. , I didn't expect an English version to be published in the United States."

   Liang Sicheng and Chen Rongjie looked at each other, then laughed.
