Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 173 "Discussion on Plague Investigation"? Americans love literature so much!

Inside a hotel in Hangzhou.

The Japanese representative stayed here, and today a Japanese big shot from Shanghai came here.

Above the attic, hysterical Japanese was heard coming from the room.

"Baga! Bastard! Who asked you to provoke Bao Guowei? Don't you know he is a scientist!"

The voice was very deep and majestic, so much so that after Jiming heard it, he was a little bit silent.

The dignified representative in China actually trembled in front of a young man. Who is he?

"My lord, isn't Bao Guowei a writer? When did he become a scientist?"

You Jiming said carefully that for him, judging from the information he had previously obtained, Bao Guowei was just a litterateur.

When does it have anything to do with science?

The young man was wearing a black suit, with a mustache on his lips, and his face was very green. He didn't expect that he was already an earl at such a young age.

As for why Japan has the title of earl?

Initially, Japan's title system was copied from that of the Tang Dynasty.

Jiming suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He really didn't know about these things. Even the news was passed to him temporarily by his secretary.

"It will be easier for you to die." Yanagihara Jinfumi said.

"According to the ancient Chinese saying, it's never too late to make up for the situation. Youyoshi-kun should not mourn at this time, but should try his best to strive for the best interests of Japan!"

He wears a pair of glasses and has a formal look.

"I didn't expect that you, this guy, would offend him first! You ruined Locust's plan!"

A simple statistics shows that within two years of the outbreak, nearly 50 million people died from this disease. Especially for young and middle-aged people, this disease is extremely fatal.

"This is an article that can change the world!"

Next came the signatures, followed by Bao Guowei, Tang Feifan, and Fang Xinchuan.

"Bao Guowei is the future pillar of China. Otherwise, he will be recruited under the command of the Locust, or else he will be killed. You cannot take advantage of the Chinese people, otherwise he will become a serious problem!"

However, after the Meiji Restoration, they abolished the titles of daimyo and lord ministers. The nobles all called themselves "Chinese" and were divided into five titles: lords, princes, and sons.

After a brief scan, Yoshiaki's eyes showed a look of shock.

Then he narrowed his eyes.

With a "plop" sound, Yoshimoto knelt down on his knees, lowered his head and said. "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this situation. I deserve death and am willing to die to apologize!"

Hearing Yoshiaki's words, Yanagihara Konfumi suddenly became very angry. He whipped his cane on the opponent and said angrily.

Not to mention the economic losses caused, which are simply countless.

Jimin nodded repeatedly, but he still mentioned it.

There was heat in Jiming's eyes, and he felt a little frightened when he thought of Bao Guowei.

Jiming took the document and took a quick look. It was all written in Chinese. However, the Japanese could understand some Chinese characters, and he had heard about it in China, so it was not difficult to read it simply.

At that time, the public health system had not yet been established. For example, England only established its first National Health Service in 1948.

To some extent, the flu also contributed to the end of World War I.

What's more, it provides people with an effective and systematic method to deal with the plague.

Yanagihara Konfumi blew out a breath from his nose and said with wide eyes.

He exhaled and said.

"My Lord Earl, you should know that the United States now treats him as a treasure, so it's hard for us to take action."

The first thing I saw was the words on the cover.

Dealing with the plague basically relies on experience and the wisdom of the policy makers.

This man named Yanagihara Konfumi was obviously blessed by the title of his father.

Since its outbreak in 1918, the Spanish Flu, accompanied by various plagues, has taken away countless lives.

"This is exactly the reason why I came here. I originally thought that I could make friends with this person and let him be used by our brother country in Japan."

Youjimei can naturally understand the importance of this article.

But let’s talk about the importance of Bao Guowei’s article.

How come there have been earth-shaking changes outside in just one day?

Seeing that Yoshimaki still seemed half-informed, Yanagihara Konfumi took a document from the table and stuffed it into the other person's hand.

"You guy, take a good look at this thing!"

Youji Ming prostrated on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Earl, I am willing to do my best to achieve this goal!"

Even during World War I, the armies of many participating countries were severely hit by the plague. Soldiers fell down due to illness and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Those who could hold a title were all prominent figures in civil servant families during the shogunate period, and most of them were famous.

"Lord Earl, it is obvious that in this article, Bao Guowei is just a summary. Judging from the data, his strategies are naturally irrefutable, but more detailed plans are needed to implement them!"

"Discourse on Plague Investigation"

Kanafumi Yanagihara nodded and said: "This article records the data of Huaxia Hangcheng during the period of dealing with the plague in detail, and displays the various strategies in detail. The corresponding effects are all corresponding one-to-one, especially the ones mentioned in the article. There is a certain drug, a drug that can kill germs!!”

"Baga, haven't you read the latest newspaper? That guy Bao Guowei's paper has spread all over the world overnight. Bacteriological scientists all over the world are excited about this paper! I received an urgent call The telegram came overnight, but you guy didn’t know anything about it!!”

Yanagihara Konfumi nodded and put away the crutch in his hand as if holding a samurai sword.

"Hmph!" Yanagihara Konfumi said with his beard raised. "Go and fight first to get the medicine and the detailed information on how to control the plague from him. If it fails, we will make plans later."

"Hi!" Ariyoshiaki nodded respectfully.

Yanagihara Jinfumi turned his back and said meaningfully.

"Everything is left to you, Ariyoshi-kun."

"If you can't get it, you can commit seppuku and commit suicide to thank the Emperor!"

"Mr. Bao, if I lie, you can use this gun to blow up my brain instantly!"

Inside the hotel, the American representative Nelson actually showed a flattering smile. He waved a pistol in his hand, loaded it, and handed it to Bao Guowei very freely.

The moment he took over the pistol, Bao Guowei really had the urge to pick up the gun and shoot Nelson in the head.

But reason finally defeated impulse, and he really had no motive to kill the American representative.

Because he has indeed done some good things for China, such as restoring tariffs, helping to restore sovereignty, opposing U.S. intervention in the civil war, pushing the United States to provide protection for China, etc.

In a sense, regardless of his position, this guy is still pro-China.

It's just that Bao Guowei is not naive, he knows it well.

Even if he is such an American representative in history, his country's interests are still his top priority psychologically.

Helping China recover tariffs and gain sovereignty is not just a superficial help to China, but is more in line with the interests of the United States at this time.

At that time, China's market share had been dominated by Japan and England for a long time, and many of the interests in this land were earned by these two countries.

However, the supply of goods in the United States currently exceeds demand, and it has fallen into a situation of overproduction.

Especially after the economic crisis, the United States needs to seek a broad market, and China is naturally the best choice.

Then it is in line with the core interests of the United States to allow China to resume its independent tariffs and sovereignty, and to allow Japan and Britain to return to the same starting line as itself.

After thinking about what the other party had just described, Bao Guowei smiled and declined politely. "Sir, your conditions for me to study in the United States are very tempting. It can be said that if I agree to these, I can get everything in this world, whether it is money, beauty or status."

He spread his hands and said: "But this is not what I want. You know, my country is suffering. This is a moment of crisis for the country. I cannot abandon my country and realize my personal values."

"New York Times" reporter Matos sat between the two people. He picked up a glass of wine and couldn't help but take a few more sips.

Then he persuaded and said: "Mr. Bao, you should know that individuals cannot change the rise and fall of a country. Instead of getting stuck in the quagmire, it is better to look for a brighter future. Looking back, you may be able to help your country."

The meaning of these two people was very obvious. They thought that Bao Guowei could go to the United States and even become an American citizen.

Bao Guowei shook his head and said: "You two gentlemen may not know that there is an old Chinese saying that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. If everyone thinks about being wise and protecting themselves, it will be the time for the country to perish."

"This"

Matos and Nelson looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It would be very difficult to persuade such a literary genius.

Bao Guowei then added: "Besides, you two may have forgotten that science has never been my main business. This article was co-written by me and two Chinese scientists, not by me alone."

"And my main business is literature!"

There was a sudden silence in the field, and the two foreigners didn't know what to say. Since Bao Guowei had already said this, they naturally couldn't continue to dissuade him.

But this cannot avoid the two people's respect for Bao Guowei.

You must know that the United States is one of the countries most affected by this plague.

If we can get help from Bao Guowei, this will be an extremely beneficial thing.

In their view, this is even a major event that can affect the presidential election!

After a long time, Nelson broke the embarrassment and said: "Hahahaha, don't be in a hurry, Mr. Bao, you are in high school now, and you still have time to think about the follow-up."

"Yes, yes." Matos said, also looking for Yuanchang. "Let's try Mr. Nelson's wine first. There is one more thing we need to discuss with you."

Speaking of fine wine, Bao Guowei showed a meaningful smile on his face.

This Mr. Representative of the United States knows how to enjoy it!

Not only did a symphony play on the gramophone in the room, but a room with a wine cabinet was also specially chosen.

It is filled with rich red wine like a work of art, and everything you need.

Bao Guowei smiled and shook the red wine in the cup and said, "I heard that your country is enforcing a ban on alcohol?"

He naturally knows that since Prohibition, drinking has become an obsession in the hearts of Americans.

It was not until three years later, when Roosevelt was elected president, that the United States passed an amendment lifting prohibition-related regulations.

Matos and Nelson suddenly had awkward smiles on their faces.

Nelson explained: "God proves that I just accidentally produced so much wine. After all, there is no damn alcohol prohibition in China."

Matos also nodded and said: "I haven't drunk such a fine wine for a long time. When I was in China, I didn't drink alcohol!"

Seeing the rosy face of Matos, Bao Guowei knew that he was not telling the truth.

Especially his skillful movements are quite popular in China, right?

Bao Guowei's suspicious eyes made Matos a little embarrassed. He smoothed his oily hair, his face was a little tipsy, and then said.

"Mr. Bao, I have a request, I hope you can agree to it."

"Go ahead."

"You know, your works have been a huge success in the United States. After all, one poem is too little. Now American readers are eager to get your other works. A publisher friend of mine has specially commissioned me to come with You talk about this."

After hearing what the other party said, Bao Guowei's eyes immediately lit up.

The channel came by himself!

Bao Guowei had the idea of ​​exploring the American market before, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly!

You know, this period was the golden age of American literature.

Just to name a few famous writers who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, there are Lewis, O'Neill, Pearl Buck and others.

Ordinary people have a unique enthusiasm for literature.

With the development of American society and the increase of the middle class, more and more people go to bookstores to buy books.

During this period, anti-intellectualism was prevalent, which was different from that in later America, and sports and communication were given top priority.

Communication skills have become one of the most valued abilities in American society.

Not to mention the complex network of relationships and human entanglements derived from it.

Western society has always been a human society. It places more emphasis on relationships and human relationships, and has even developed to the point where people who study seriously are regarded as nerds.

Many earthworms and leeches say that in Western society, we do not value human kindness.

Precisely because they have not integrated into Western society at all.

If you can't even get in touch with them, how can you talk about human relations and society?

Compared with later generations, the American people of this era obviously have a different kind of longing for writers.

They believe that writers who can write good works are full of intelligence and true gentlemen, and their books have souls.

This is also one of the reasons why Bao Guowei's works have become so popular in the United States.

Mattos paused, and finally said with a smile: "If a work that suits the national conditions of the United States can be published, I believe readers will be very happy."

Bao Guowei shook his head.

"Sir, I have a book that I am translating. You should have heard of it called "Alive". I can indeed cooperate with you on subsequent publications. I just want to write a book that is in line with the conditions of the United States."

Thinking of this, Bao Guowei suddenly hesitated. He has been very busy recently and has several books planned to be written.

I wish I could break myself in half,

Now that I have another draft request, why don’t I write it as bald?

But Matos didn't want to give up at all. He knew in his heart the weight of such a work if Bao Guowei wrote it.

"Mr. Bao, you may not understand that best-selling works in the United States can basically reach sales of 100,000. Calculated with a 10% royalty, earning tens of thousands of dollars is not a problem. It is wisest for you to cooperate with us. s Choice!"

Upon hearing this, Bao Guowei's hand immediately shook, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled.

Tens of thousands of dollars?

At this time, unlike the U.S. dollar in later generations, the purchasing power could basically increase tenfold.

Calculating this, there are even millions of soft girl coins.

Bao Guowei raised his eyes and said with a slightly trembling voice.

"How many did you say?"

Matos sorted out his words again, calculated a little and said.

"If you are as popular as you are now, it is not unimaginable to earn a total of fifty thousand US dollars."

After hearing this, Bao Guowei immediately sat upright, put the wine glass on the table, and said seriously.

"Mr. Matos, I think we can talk in detail."

Then his mind began to spin wildly.

Works about America?

That’s a lot!

As long as foreigners have enough money, they can watch "The Old Man and the Sea," "Gone with the Wind," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "One Hundred Years of Solitude," etc.

I Bao Guowei will give it to all the gentlemen to process it carefully.

Add delicious "private goods" and serve it up for everyone to enjoy!
