the world is at stake

For example, many old civil servants spend the whole day with a newspaper and a cup of tea.It is better to pull down this group of people through forced retirement, which can also improve the efficiency of the government.
But this matter will inevitably lead to complaints. The so-called "old comrades" will definitely petition and make trouble. It can't be done in the city or province, and the central government must be ruthless.
This is the same as 'rectifying the cadre team because of the new crown epidemic'. It is not impossible for the Turkish Communist Party to do it. It depends on whether it is willing to break the shackles of "Hello, I, Hello, everyone" in the officialdom.
Miura was envious when he heard it, because Japan's civil service system also faced the same problem - in Japan, which was founded on electronic products, the old fax machines were still like treasures.
The promotion of paperless office in China results in more paper waste, which is the same problem.There are too many old wastes who are vegetarians and refuse to delegate power. Waiting for them to retire slowly is really irresponsible to the country and the people.
This kind of reform that touches the interests of official groups is extremely difficult and will inevitably be opposed by all.Only a team like 'Holy Light' who dares to think and do things and is very tough can carry it out.
"How can we do well in politics when we're with insects?" Miura gritted his teeth, feeling a little courageous in his heart. "In the countercurrent of time and space, I don't even dare to make changes. How can I talk about saving the country?"
Sitting at the small county-level airport for two hours, the Yun-12 passenger plane arrived.
When Miura transferred to Shanghai, he met Park Ho-chang, who was selected from South Korea.The two got together to talk about what they had seen and heard recently, and both mentioned their judgments on China's 2002 economic data.
Miura did not hide his conversation with Zhou Qingfeng, mentioning that the Americans' goal of attacking China's economy might be difficult to achieve.Park Haochang smiled wryly and said, "European and American hot money are not blind, they actually know about it."
"Know that you want to go short?" Miura scolded angrily, "I decided to spend money to short Hong Kong stocks after reading the reports from the U.S. Treasury Department and Wall Street investment banks. Aren't they selling their credit?"
Park Ho-chang shrugged, "Even so, so what? Even Warren Buffett has to cooperate with the national interests. The United States has always only cared about itself.
Many large enterprises in China have audited by the Big Four international accounting firms. Europe and the United States actually know China very well.But their goal is to bring down the Chinese economy, and they must be short-selling, and they must also attract more funds to short-selling. "
idiot!
How did I trust the Americans?Doesn't this show that he will be dragged into cannon fodder?
Miura jumped and cursed, and he called his Japanese accomplice again, demanding to immediately change the short-selling of Hong Kong stocks to long, so as not to suffer from the disaster of the fish pond.
Meanwhile, Capitol Hill in Washington.
His Excellency Marcus won the overwhelming support of voters in the just-concluded 2002 Congressional mid-term elections, and became a member of the Senate of Texas as a Republican.
After taking the oath of office, he received a secret report jointly submitted by the U.S. Department of State and the Department of the Treasury. Due to the increase in taxes on goods imported from China to the United States, the prices of goods purchased in the United States during the Christmas season have risen.
The cost of the tax hike falls entirely on American consumers themselves.The reason is that it is difficult for American importers to find a manufacturing country with higher cost performance and production capacity than China.
Not in Vietnam, not in India, not even in South America and other countries.After going around in a circle, I still can only find China.Now American businesses and factories are calling Bush Jr. an idiot.
The U.S. Treasury Department had expected Chinese exports to the U.S. to fall by half.But according to customs data, the quantity of imports has dropped by 30.00%, and the value of imports has only dropped by [-]%.
Wall Street had expected China to lower its exchange rate to stimulate exports.But on the contrary, the exchange rate of the renminbi against the U.S. dollar has risen a little, and a group of people who are going to speculate in foreign exchange have been beaten to liquidation.That is to say, the trade war that President Bush launched with great fanfare belongs to the category of "big thunder, little rain", which failed to achieve any effect, but instead lost his prestige.
The report has not yet been declassified, but the U.S. Treasury Department expressed concern that once China announces its GDP data by the end of January next year, public opinion and financial circles will have a lot of trouble.
Therefore, the report recommends that the president increase pressure on China.In addition to trade cards, there are also financial, political, and military cards that can be played - we must face China's all-round challenges.
"It's useless, these measures are not strong enough." Marco knows that the current situation is equivalent to "history repeating itself", and if he really wants to fight against China, he must use some ruthless tactics.
There was a knock on the office door, and Thomas, the former aide of Father Clark, came in from outside.He became Marco's congressman's secretary, and sent a piece of 'bad' news obtained through public channels.
"According to the information from Japanese and Korean business organizations, 'Sacred Light' has also completed the preparation of materials for the production of iPhones. Its industrial park in Zhengzhou has completed the transformation, and some production lines have begun production and preparation.
Zhou Qingfeng will officially release the iPhone in February next year. Its price may be cheaper than the "Apple" version, and the sales volume in the first month will exceed 20 units. "
'Apple''s first-generation iPhone was discontinued shortly after its launch, with a total sales volume of only 139 million units.But the environment that 'Holy Light' is now facing is completely different, it came up with this thing five years in advance.
No one in the market is its opponent.It also corrects the mistakes of "Apple", and prepares a large number of built-in software for users in advance. Its selling point is not only the touch screen, but also a whole set of application ecology.
All software is ready-made, just copy it - the power of smart phones is not only good-looking and cool, but also changes life and work.
Thomas said earnestly: "I personally predict that the 'Holy Light' iPhone will be more successful than the 'Apple' version. As long as the marketing can keep up, its total annual sales may exceed [-] million units."
1000 million units!
Marcos grabbed the calculator at hand. The original iPhone was priced at US$499 in the United States, and multiplied by 1000 million.
Nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars.
Certainly some people will envy the smartphone market and want to go in and make money.But no matter who it is, they can't get around the patent barrier of 'Holy Light'.
All those who should be registered have registered, even the United States is no exception.After all, the two countries are just a trade war, not to the point where a hot war will tear their faces apart.
"Is there no good news?" Marco asked.
Thomas shook his head, "We contacted Ms. Lane from the 'Low Key Club', and she said that she couldn't find Mr. Savelli from the 'European Will' either.
Martha is still desperately hunting down that unlucky guy.If we don't step in soon, the dice of time and space may well change hands. "
Chapter 24 The Charm of the iPhone
January 2003, 1, New Year's Day.
Zhou Qingfeng chose to hold a press conference in the Great Hall of the People in the imperial capital to publicize to the outside world the milestone achievement of 'Holy Light' in the development of the electronics industry - the iPhone.
There is no large LED screen.But on the black-toned stage, a high-brightness projector projected Zhou Qingfeng's image onto the huge screen.
In front of hundreds of domestic and foreign media's "long guns and short guns", Zhou Qingfeng grabbed the small smartphone in his hand and gently swipe its 3.5-inch screen.
The picture on the giant screen projection moves accordingly.
Reporters on the scene made a 'wow' sound of surprise.
There have been rumors in the media before, and many people know that 'Shengguang' has released a revolutionary and innovative mobile phone, but they did not expect it to be so different in use.
"This is a leap forward product, far more intelligent and easier to use than other mobile devices in the past." Zhou Qingfeng began to demonstrate the functions of the iPhone with a light touch of his finger.
"It's not just making calls and texting, but also surfing the Internet, working, reading, listening to music, watching videos, and playing games.
It is a supercomputer in the palm of your hand, a mobile terminal that connects everything in the world, and a gate of time and space that connects to the future.
There is no doubt that the emergence of the iPhone has declared that all mobile phones in the past have become obsolete overnight.Please remember today, the era of mobile Internet will be opened by it. "
When Zhou Qingfeng spoke, the scene was quiet.
But there was a wave of excitement in the hearts of everyone in the audience.
The appearance of the iPhone is too shocking and incredible.
During the one-and-a-half-hour press conference, Zhou Qingfeng played coolly in front of the camera as the "President of Shengguang", breaking people's inherent perception of mobile phones.
Every time a speech paused, the domestic reporters on the scene would applaud desperately, cheering and shouting for the achievements of 'Holy Light'.The country needs such milestones one after another to prove its revival and strength.
Foreign media wanted to report on a cruel, cruel, and barbaric rule breaker, but when Zhou Qingfeng appeared with an iPhone, all prejudiced smears faded instantly.
Zhou Qingfeng has always given the West a mysterious feeling.But today his image is 'the richest, the most handsome, the most fashionable, and the most sci-fi'.This made many Western journalists who wanted to pick trouble very uncomfortable.
During the interactive session, a blond girl with big tits asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you regret being sanctioned by the West, which made it difficult for 'Holy Light' products to enter the European and American markets?"
Hahaha... Zhou Qingfeng smiled cheerfully, "Baby, if your brain is as big as your chest, you shouldn't ask such stupid questions.
People in Europe and the United States have always had an arrogant psychological advantage, that is, they are in a powerful country, so naturally they should eat the best, use the best, and live in the best.European and American companies should also meet their needs.
Yes, it has been that way for hundreds of years.
But today is different, things have changed a little bit.
Now is the Internet age, and traditional media cannot control what people want.
People in Europe and the United States naturally like the so-called "critical thinking". To put it bluntly, they love to fight against the government and like to find fault with the government.
Your government can use licenses to control the use of iPhones for communications within its borders.But don't forget that the biggest function of the iPhone is that it can surf the Internet, and it itself is a computer with excellent performance.
Its use experience will turn a functional machine into a quirky antique from the last century.
Just like the 'Prohibition of Alcohol' that was introduced in the United States, the more it is banned, the more it is rampant, and the more precious the banned products are.
Someone will definitely smuggle Chinese-made iPhones into Europe and the United States.It will be as popular as a drug in the United States, and no one can refuse to use it.
Why don't we make a bet and see what kind of mentality the European and American people will have when they don't have access to the iPhone?I dare say that 'Sacred Light' should not make any less money. "
Arrogance!
The big tits foreign girl was stunned for a few seconds, and it took a long time to sit down with a straight face.
In her eyes, 'President Shengguang' is a demon sentenced to death by the West.His words are extremely evil and completely challenge the universal rules of the West.
We banned you, you should cry, repent and beg for forgiveness, how can you not care?
This is absolutely not allowed!
The foreign girl reporter glared at her, and the 'President Shengguang' sneered at her - this scene was captured by many cameras on the scene.
The next day, the cover of Time Magazine featured this photo.The interpretation reads 'The Disruptor has created a miracle of engineering, the iPhone. '
Western media also needs traffic, and the news of 'the world's richest man' is enough for European and American media to report. The propaganda department of 'Holy Light' also took advantage of the situation to spread the word to the world through various network channels.
Now there is no Twitter, no Facebook, and the United States has not yet mastered discourse hegemony on the Internet.On the contrary, 'Holy Light' is learning from the Internet giants of later generations, and has come up with a bunch of social media and platforms that are easy to use and rich in content.
CCTV worked hard for a while and gave 30 seconds to the iPhone launch event on "News Network".
In the subsequent "Focus Interview", it took nearly half an hour for Yilan, the vice president of 'Holy Light', to introduce this epoch-making product to the people.
At the same time, many national media, including Japan and South Korea, were mobilized to promote the iPhone because of the face of banknotes.Because 'Holy Light' is going to be officially sold on February 2th, Valentine's Day.
On the official website of 'Shengguang' and its agents, consumers can make an appointment to order an iPhone.In order to have a good sales performance, the group began to arrange exclusive stores in major cities around the world within its reach.
Different from the black and white color matching of the original iPhone on the spot, 'Sacred Light' provides a variety of color casings for consumers to choose from.Its domestic price is 3999 yuan.It's also more expensive abroad -- the 4GB model is converted to $599.
'Apple' iPhones are not listed in China, nor are they sold globally.Zhou Qingfeng did not have too high expectations for the domestic market, after all, the price of 3999 yuan is not cheap.
But after the domestic website began to book, the server of 'Shengguang Mall' exploded immediately.
Zhou Qingfeng underestimated the size of the domestic consumer group who can afford iPhones.Now, China's national power has reached the level of 2010, and the middle class has tens of millions.
With the GDP surpassing that of Japan and the national strength approaching that of the United States, many Chinese people have begun to reflect on the nonsense of the public knowledge.
When the two aircraft carriers were launched, the J-[-] made its first flight, and the Chang-[-] took off, national pride is being reawakened.Which ordinary people are willing to look up to the West all day long?
The iPhone of 'Holy Light' is a product that caters to the current national mood. For white-collar workers, they need a portable product that can make them unique.
This kind of difference is not only reflected in the comparison with the low-income groups in China, but also in the comparison with foreigners abroad-when negotiating with foreign countries, the boss takes out such a smart phone to appear superior to others.
As soon as the "Focus Interview" program was broadcast, there was a frenzy of buying iPhones across the country.
The traffic flowing into the 'Shengguang Mall' website is increasing steadily. Even if the operation and maintenance are expected, the server crashes and crashes, and the expansion of the capacity by a hundred times is not enough.
The peak number of viewers is more than 1000 times that of usual.
Within 24 hours, the number of orders exceeded one million.
One million, which is equivalent to nearly 13 billion people in the country, and one person places an order for every thousand people.A [-]% deposit is required to place an order, which means that "Holy Light" has not sold anything, and hundreds of millions of RMB have been collected first.
In addition, there are more than ten times the traffic coming to the website to browse, and I feel intoxicated just by looking at it.
Tieba and other social media are full of topics about the iPhone. Countless Ziganwu and Little Pink come out, exaggerating about 'Holy Light', as if they regard it as national pride.
"Shocked, extremely shocked. I was honored to participate in the 'Holy Light' iPhone conference. When President Zhou's finger slid the screen, I was elated. I have never been so happy."
"I have always felt that Japanese electronic products are the best in the world, but today I want to say that China is the best, and 'Holy Light' is the best."
"I was really surprised. I watched the conference video several times. Every time I got goosebumps. Every time I heard President Zhou introduce the functions of the iPhone, I felt that it was too sci-fi."
"It's hard to imagine that this was made by China. Moreover, the entire industrial chain is in the country, completely independent of foreign technology and device production. When did China become so strong?"
"This thing is like the J-[-]. When it didn't appear, you thought it couldn't exist. When it was shown in front of you, you had no choice but to bow down and take out the money."
"My mother and I have paid in advance for this year's New Year's money and pocket money. We must buy one, just to support 'Holy Light'. A company that can produce such a good product is too embarrassing to the Chinese people."
"I was in a foreign country, and I was in tears. I originally planned to find a job in the United States after finishing my PhD. I just changed my mind and sent a resume to 'Holy Light', hoping to serve the country."
"I'm in my sixties. I thought I wouldn't see China surpassing the West in this life. I didn't expect that before I was old, I could see that China made things that were not available in other countries, and I died in peace."
Different ages, different identities, different occupations, different regions, the same voice broke out both inside and outside the Internet.The upsurge of public opinion is surging, and the birth of the iPhone has inspired strong patriotic enthusiasm.
This is different from military equipment that is very far away from ordinary people.It is the progress of national power that can be close to life and accessible to every ordinary person, and it is the pride and confidence that can be felt at close range in the hand.
'Holy Light' does not associate the purchase of its own products with 'patriotism', but the public will naturally regard the purchase of this product as an expression of their emotions.
Especially in the past year, "Shengguang" has participated in poverty alleviation, and the online shopping stores all over the country have brought great benefits to the common people.Many residents save or earn enough to buy a few iPhones.
Buy, buy, buy until the production line explodes!
The number of online orders continues to grow.One million in one day, two million in three days, three million in one week, and four million in one month.
The deposit collected by 'Holy Light' alone exceeded 15 billion RMB.
Considering the original historical year of 2009, 'Apple' sold nearly ten million iPhone series products in China. 'Sacred Light' is now enthusiastically supported by the masses, and its domestic sales of the first-generation iPhone must exceed tens of millions.
The release of this mobile phone has attracted strong attention from domestic and foreign media, and its order quantity has also shocked the world.
As soon as the 'Sacred Light' iPhone came out, the sales of mobile phones from major foreign manufacturers such as Nokia began to plummet.
The expectations of all consumers have been greatly improved, and the functional phone has immediately dropped a notch.People are looking forward to February 2, hoping to get their smartphones as soon as possible.
The potential spending power of the Chinese has shocked the entire Western world—you must know that 3999 yuan is not cheap, and the number of orders alone exceeds the population of many small countries.
