Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 166 "The Ugly Chinese"

At the end of the ceremony, everyone went into the factory and continued to visit. They saw raw materials such as corn and fishmeal walking around the production line and turned into granular feed. The visiting guests immediately applauded.

Liu Yonghao asked Li Lei's evaluation of these feeds. Naturally, Li Lei would not tear down the stage. He said a lot of good things, and the leaders were happier when they heard it.

When all the guests went to eat, Liu Yonghao continued to ask, "I feel that these feeds are a little different from what I saw in your factory. How much is the difference?"

He also saw that what Li Lei said just now was to take care of their face; now that there are no outsiders, Li Lei can also tell the truth, "Compared to other feed factories, it must be much better. Compared with the ones that are just right, there is indeed a gap."

"The running-in of the equipment, the quality of the workers, and the most important thing is the formula. These are the gaps! These things can't be rushed, let's adjust slowly!" Li Lei comforted.

"Have you just started doing it? I've been doing it for several years, and Zhengda Kangdi has been making feed for decades. It's unreasonable to be caught up so easily, isn't it?"

"That's right." The Liu family brothers were a little disappointed, but they soon regained their composure, "Are you right, are we just getting started? It's definitely impossible to catch up in one step, but as long as we work hard, the gap will definitely get bigger and bigger." The younger you are, please ask Boss Li for more opinions in the future!"

"Let's go, let's go eat, we are the only ones missing!" Everyone went to the restaurant in a noisy manner, and after the meal, the visiting guests left one after another.

Li Lei stayed for another day, gave them some suggestions for improvement, and then booked a train ticket to go south to Guangdong, play in Guangzhou and the Special Economic Zone for a few days, then go to Xiangjiang, and then transfer to Xiangjiang to go abroad for ten minutes. It's been half a month, when Yu Jingshu comes back from playing, it's almost time for Yu Jingshu to start school.

They boarded the train at night and fell asleep as soon as they got on the train. They were woken up by the voices of other passengers chatting the next morning. They woke up and washed up before returning to the soft sleeper compartment. The other two people in the compartment were chatting lively.

Both of them are in their forties. They wear glasses and have pens in their shirt pockets. Glancing at the cover of the book - "The Ugly Chinese", author Bo Yang.

"This book is so well written. Look at this passage 'Chinese people are like maggots in sauce vats, they like to stir and fight with each other in a turbid and smelly environment'. In the sauce vat culture, only fame and fortune is the right way. Those who cannot obtain fame and wealth are evil paths, so they cannot diversify."

"Look at this paragraph again, 'When a passer-by falls, many passers-by don't help; this is the bad nature of the Chinese! Indifference and selfishness, Chinese people have been like this since ancient times!'"

"This book was introduced this year. I flipped through some of it. There were too many generalizations. I read it once and found it boring, so I put it down!" Yu Jingshu thought Li Lei hadn't read it, and whispered in his ear. whispered.

Hey, isn’t it just reflection, I bought a lot of reflection coupons, these things are very familiar, there are too many of them on the Internet in later generations.

Li Lei and Yu Jingshu sat down by the window and enjoyed the scenery along the way through the window, but those annoying words kept lingering in their ears like flies buzzing.

Moreover, the dialogue between these two people attracted more people's attention, and many people participated in it with great interest, competing to discuss the inferiority of the Chinese people.

Yu Jingshu couldn't help but wanted to refute. Li Lei stopped her, and he could tell that these people were a little dazed, and you definitely couldn't convince them by arguing with them head-on. Fortunately, Li Lei's later generations quarreled with people on the Internet With extremely rich experience, he quickly found the entry point.

"Modern human civilization was created by the West, and China has not contributed. China is now enjoying the fruits of the West. Comrades, what a sad thing is this?" The man holding "The Ugly Chinese" said bitterly.

Li Lei immediately interjected, "Really? Comfortable, enjoy the ready-made, I hope the West will increase its efforts, I am still waiting to continue to enjoy."

"????" The other party was dumbfounded, "Did you hear me clearly that China's contribution to modern civilization is zero! But it has not contributed to human modern civilization, and you are still proud of it, don't you think Are we pathetic?"

"Hey, amazing! Let others do the work, let's just enjoy it!" At this moment, Li Lei seemed to be possessed by Yu Qian, and started to do the work of flattering people.

The middle-aged man with glasses almost didn't come up, "If this continues, China will be eliminated by modern civilization sooner or later!"

"Good!" Li Lei applauded vigorously.

"Is this still a good thing?" The middle-aged man really couldn't keep up with his brain circuit.

"Isn't this not eliminated yet? Not only was he not eliminated, but he was able to reap the rewards. It must be a good thing!" Li Lei continued to praise.

These two people have necks and necks, and they want to say something but they can't say it. They are used to debating with people by citing scriptures. In fact, it was a satirical routine that I had never seen before, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Temporarily suppressing their arrogance, Li Lei changed the subject and started chatting with them seriously, "Mr. Bo Yang may have a good intention, and I hope we can face up to our own shortcomings, but there are some things in the writing that are unavoidable. It’s too much to be foreign and xenophobic to generalize!”

"This gentleman said just now, 'passers-by fell, and many passers-by did not help; this is the bad nature of the Chinese! Indifference and selfishness, Chinese people have been like this since ancient times!' What I saw was just the opposite. Some people fell on the road, and many Everyone will help." Now is not the era after Peng Yu, there are many people who are willing to help others.

"And let's assume that what he said is true. This kind of thing is not unique to the Chinese. The Genovese incident happened in New York, USA in 1964; a man named Kitty Genovese returned home after work. On the way home, I was viciously attacked by a man with a knife."

"The gangster stabbed her multiple times. She shouted for help. The gangster was trying to escape, but later he found that no one came out to intervene, so he got out of the car and returned to continue stabbing her. The attack lasted for 35 minutes; after the incident, the police During the investigation into the incident, it was discovered that a total of 38 people around the apartment witnessed the attack, but only one person ultimately called the police."

"This is just an example, and it doesn't mean that Americans are indifferent!" The middle-aged man with glasses retorted subconsciously.

"That's not what you said when you criticized the Chinese just now!" Li Lei smiled. He has too much experience in similar conversations. When talking about Chinese people, he is used to elevating a trivial matter to the height of national inferiority However, the same thing has become an exception for Americans. Isn't this a double standard?

Fortunately, Li Lei watched a lot of quarrels on the Internet in later generations. These assertions about Bo Yang have long been refuted, so he immediately brought up another case.

"In 1973, American psychologists Daly and Batson conducted the famous Samaritan experiment, which was inspired by a story in the Bible."

"A Jew was robbed by robbers and was seriously injured, lying on the side of the road. Priests and Levites passed by but ignored them. Only a passing Samaritan helped him regardless of the barrier. The story shows that The criterion for judging people is human heart, not identity.”

"The experiment involved a group of seminary students, half of whom were given the 'Good Samaritan' story and asked to preach at another seminary, and the other half who were asked to give a sermon on employment opportunities at the same location. "

"On the way to the designated location, the subjects will pass a passer-by who collapsed in an alley and appears to be in desperate need of help; however, only [-] percent of them stop to help the poor passerby, and compared to The students who were preparing to speak about job opportunities, the students who were given the 'Good Samaritan' story, did not reach out more because of the educational value of the parable."

"The experimental results show that in reality, most people who shout slogans to refuse to help others indifferently will not do so in reality." Li Lei looked at the two middle-aged men with glasses, regardless of the impassioned words they said now. If someone needs help, they may not necessarily make a move.

"So the two attribute indifference to the unique bad nature of the Chinese. I believe that Ms. Genovese, Mr. Dali, and Mr. Batson must disagree!"

"Mr. Bo Yang wrote this book because he saw that Americans and Japanese wrote "Ugly Americans" and "Ugly Japanese" in order to reflect on the shortcomings of their own countries; but his writing level is obviously lower than that of Not William Lederer, Eugene Burdick and Mr Takahashiki."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Takahashishiki wrote "The Ugly Japanese", hoping that this move would trigger deep reflection among the people of his country, but he was unexpectedly fiercely besieged. Not only was he dismissed by the Japanese authorities, but the author I had to hide my name for many years to avoid being killed."

"Comparatively speaking, although Mr. Bo Yang has received some criticism, he is still sought after more. From this perspective, we Chinese are much more tolerant than the Japanese!"

There is also an interesting passage in "The Ugly American". In the war, the army where the protagonist is in can't beat the guerrillas anyway. Finally, I bought a teacher's book and used the teacher's strategy to fight the only time in the entire war. Victory, it can be seen that the Americans still admire the teacher's art of war.

If the above words appeared on the Internet, they would definitely not be able to convince their opponents. They would turn in, hold on to the details, and change the definitions. The opponents had plenty of ways to mess around. Fortunately, the two cultural people on the opposite side still had to face. In front of them, they couldn't refute.

"Comrade, where did you see the cases you just mentioned? From which book? Can you tell me the title of the book, and I will look for it when I go back?" They took out pens and paper and prepared to record.

"These two cases are from the "Social Psychology" course in the United States. There are many similar cases in it. This book is hard to find in society, but it must be available in colleges and universities that offer psychology. It should not be difficult to find! "Li Lei gave the source, hoping they can change their minds after reading this book.

"Okay, thank you very much, I'll go to the university to ask when I get back!" The two seriously wrote down the title of the book and the case Li Lei just mentioned.

Since then, the two of them have become much quieter, and the topic has changed from criticizing the inferiority of the Chinese people to the customs of the cities along the way, but sometimes they can't help but say a few words. It seems that "The Ugly Chinese" is very important to them. The impact is huge, and this impact cannot be completely dispelled by Li Lei with a few words and a few cases.

This is also something that can’t be helped. After opening the country, the huge gap between China and the developed countries in Europe and the United States completely collapsed the confidence of many people. They couldn’t look directly at such a big gap, and began to attribute the root of these gaps to national inferiority. In short After that, he knelt down completely.

Everything is good for foreigners, but the Chinese are not good. The popularity of "The Ugly Chinese" is only the tip of the iceberg, and there will be more extreme works in the future.

This trend has even spread to the new century. The popularity of "Wolf Totem" and Gao Xiaosong's popularity are just one of them. It didn't get better until the second decade.

This small episode did not have much impact on the mood of Li Lei and Yu Jingshu. After they arrived in Guangzhou, they continued to play happily. They used the hotel car to visit Chehe, went to a time-honored restaurant to taste Cantonese morning tea, and boarded Baiyun Mountain to overlook the whole city. City.
After playing in Guangzhou for a few days, I went to the special zone again. Now going to the special zone is different from Li Lei's first time. At this time, I have to go through a lot of procedures to get in.

Others may not be easy to deal with. Li Lei just said a word. Ma Tianyou completed the formalities for them early, and even brought a car to Guangzhou to meet them, and drove them to the Special Economic Zone himself.

After arriving in the Special Economic Zone, I stopped by the New Century Investment Company for an inspection, and then I met some acquaintances one after another, such as Xing Shuwang’s old classmate Director Pan, such as Mr. Xie from Zhengda Kangdi, such as Shi Yuzhu who has already started to study in Shenzhen University Naturally, Wang Shi, whose business is booming, is also indispensable.

Wang Shi and Li Lei chatted about their plans, "I feel like I can't do much with the business I have now. It doesn't matter whether it's selling corn or foreign exchange. Although I can still make money, it seems like I want to make more money. It's not realistic!"

"Normally, there is only so much demand in Zhengdakang every year, and there is only this amount of corn that can be eaten. It is useless even if you can transport more!" Li Lei nodded.

Not to mention foreign exchange, this business relies on face to make a living, and his father-in-law's face is only that big, so the foreign exchange index that Wang Shi can get every year is also limited.

"So, I started to think, should I start with another project? There are so many places where I can make money, maybe if I go to other fields, I will not be restricted!" Wang Shi said.

　Hey, I've been away for a month and a half, I'm going crazy
