At our age, life is basically the same Generally, they will not change their jobs, their income will not change greatly, and their social class will rarely change. We mainly focus on serious work and raising children, and we can't afford to toss and turn at ordinary times. In the past, Internet cafes used to play StarCraft, and double eleven sent takeout. I have to sleep for three days before I can come back.
Most filmmakers and writers in this world are talking about their life before the age of 40. Both Wang Shuo and Yu Hua are writing about their lives before the age of 40. I can't write it after I am 40 years old, and it is dry to write it. Jia and Zhang Yimou can only shoot their movie stories before they turn 40. Zhang Yimou filmed them, and he's still making a one-second movie. Jia is a young man from Shaanxi Province in the 1990s. I can't get out of his age limit because I have no pain in my later years. When I am over 40, I will be calm. Even if I have a bad life, I don't even have the strength to cry. I just lay flat and resigned, and life lost its fresh flavor and began to live by aftertaste.
The group of people who grew up with my contemporaries are now stereotyped in society. Looking back at the current situation of my primary school classmates and junior high school classmates, I found that it was really reasonable to hear my ears cocoon when I was a child.
He studied in Class 24 of Qianjin Primary School in Shaoyang East District and Class 48 of Zhaoling Middle School. Students can be simply divided into those who study hard and those who don't. Today, people who study hard have good jobs, most of them are engaged in doctors, lawyers, senior engineers, corporate executives and other occupations, a few have joined famous enterprises such as Huawei and ZTE, and a few have worked in hospitals. Their words and deeds are rigorous and orderly, and they can't help showing an elite model. His academic performance is average, but he is practical and diligent. He has worked in machinery, mining and public institutions, earning a good income and living a stable life. Usually he has a suite and a nice car at home. This kind of students have the highest happiness, and there is no terrible mortgage pressure in first-tier cities. There is always a surplus in life; What is even worse is the students who are learning to play around. Some people are idle, have no serious jobs, think about eating, drinking and having fun all day, walk around mahjong tables every day, and owe hundreds of thousands of loans. Some people are playing the sideline business, but their lives are getting by, without forming a positive cycle. It seems that the life behind them is getting gloomy.
The story that you didn't study hard but got along well in society didn't appear in real life, at least not my classmates. People who study hard can generally be admitted to the secondary school or above. Those who don't study hard gradually sink into the social stratum. They have to endure the long-term pain in life to escape the temporary pain of study.
It was the same after I came out to work. In the past 20 years, if anyone around me is unwilling to be mediocre, if he works harder, no one will get along well. I have an old friend from Chaoshan for many years. He came to Shenzhen from home, penniless, thinking about how to start a business all day. When he thought of an idea, he was too excited to sleep. He ran to Huaqiang North at five o'clock in the morning, waiting for someone to open the door. I have written about some Huaqiang North merchants in the deep sea.
I especially like to associate with people who are full of empty cups and struggle, and I am particularly annoyed with people who only complain about others all day. These people complain everywhere every day. If there is a mistake, it must be the fault of the society, the government and the family. They play games with their mobile phones all day, and they seem to have no talent at all. He can't stand it if you let him eat for a few days, let alone experience the narrow escape of starting a business.
From primary school, you can see a person's life track, the cycle of justice and retribution.
In fact, a person is like this, and so is a country.
I have been watching the railway history of China this week and saw such a story:
On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2006, the Ministry of Railways invited a large number of technical experts to bid for the Beijing-Tianjin intercity high-speed railway, and contracted Beijing Xindadu Hotel to negotiate with the bidding companies. We very much hope to win all the core technologies, among which Siemens has always insisted on transferring the 27.5 kV vacuum circuit breaker when negotiating with Siemens, because their circuit breaker can guarantee 654.38+ 10,000 failures, and Siemens refused to sell it. We are willing to pay a high price, but we also use both software and hardware. Finally, we forced Siemens to say that this technology really can't be sold. It took us Germans more than 40 years to break through and apply for 220 patents all over the world. If we sell it, our share price will plummet, which involves the national interest. In order to transfer this technology, we must sign it by Merkel. The Ministry of Railways finally failed to win this technology.
I believe that Germans not only have the technology of 27.5 kV vacuum circuit breakers, but also hundreds of similar top technologies. It can be seen from this incident that the happy life of Germans is based on their generations' efforts to overcome technical difficulties, and these resources have been won by them bit by bit, so that developing countries can buy their products at high prices in the market.
In the early years, many China people were surprised when they went to Germany and envied their high welfare life. But these people never envy the hardships that the Germans have suffered, and it is boring to engage in scientific research, not to mention that it took 40 years to engage in a top technology.
This part of China people only want profit, never ask about cost. In the future, they will teach China people that our quality is not enough, and it is the good quality of Germans and French that makes us happy today.
Ignorance really kills people.
In fact, the Germans have experienced many hardships. In order to unify them, they gritted their teeth and challenged France, the king of Europe. In the Franco-Prussian War, they beat up France and asked it to pay 5 billion francs in reparations, equivalent to 22,500 tons of silver, ranking fourth in the world war reparations. This is also the reason why Britain and France exploited Germany, the defeated country, so mercilessly after World War I. As a result, Germany stood up again twenty years later and was forced to hand over huge reparations.
Germans ranked first in World War I war reparations and second in World War II war reparations. We in China have remembered boxer indemnity for more than a hundred years, but it is only the fifth one, which shows that the founding of the German nation was not easy.
Therefore, the Germans climbed to the top of the human science and technology tree, and it took decades to come up with the technology of 27.5 kV vacuum circuit breaker, which means that nothing will be easily transferred, which is what they have suffered from generation after generation.
The industrial revolution in Europe originated from the Renaissance and the great voyage. The great voyage is because we are poor and crazy, and we just want to find a way out. I have said in many articles that it was a desperate thing to go to the deep sea at that time. Columbus found the French and sought venture capital from the Portuguese. He said it was a hard business, so I wanted sky-high prices, and neither the French nor the grape people wanted to vote. Columbus could only try to find the Spaniard, but he didn't.
At that time, the Spanish government promised that the first person who discovered the new continent could get a silk suit and 10,000 Malawi di from China. When the sailors approached the new world, they found seabirds and wild rose branches. They were all excited and risked their lives to grab the lookout. Take the silk suit from China for example, we can see that the silk technology in China at that time was the same as that in German vacuum circuit breaker today.
As a late-developing country with industrial civilization, China is like a schoolmaster who has won the first prize for many years. I suddenly changed to a new subject during the exam. He used to take a Chinese exam, but now he suddenly takes a physics exam. China was deceived at once. It took nearly 200 years to study again and learn new subjects, and finally he slowly caught up.
The European and American countries, which were the first to open the advanced technology tree, have been reaping the benefits of monopolizing high-tech and finance, and have never budged in the high-tech field. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, Britain dominated the world's top resources, and in the 20th century, the United States took over this work. I found this problem when I was reading the information of various countries. The Philippines became rich in 1960-80 because the United States allocated resources to it, and South Korea rose after World War II. It is also the United States that allocated resources to him, so that South Korea can get the semiconductor industry. It's not a lot of information that Koreans try to impress the Japanese, but actually the industrial chain assigned to him by the United States.
The difference is that after the United States allocated resources to these countries, these countries could not keep up. Marcos of the Philippines did not engage in land reform after obtaining resources, but also tried to turn the country's oil, insurance, shipping, aviation, hotels, casinos and media into family private property, which made people angry. Park chung-hee of South Korea, after getting the resources, engaged in land reform nationwide, and also supported the chaebol to engage in heavy industry, which made South Korea move towards a virtuous circle. Today, South Korea has become a developed country.
European and American countries will allocate resources to Japan and South Korea to give them some room for development, but they are not allowed to get their hands on cutting-edge military industries or other super-profiteering heavy industries. Once such peripheral slaves dare to resist their masters economically, the United States will severely whip Japan on the ground, and Japan's economy will not recover for 30 years.
Also developed countries, why do office workers in Japan and South Korea seem to work much harder than those in Europe and America? In essence, the profits of many enterprises in Japan and South Korea are not as good as those in Europe and America, and some high-profit products are not allowed to be touched by Japan and South Korea in Europe and America.
For example, in 20 19, the top ten companies in the United States made profits, including Apple's $59.5 billion, JPMorgan Chase's $32.4 billion, Alphabet's $30.7 billion, Bank of America's $2.8/kloc-0.0 billion, Wells Fargo's $22.3 billion, Facebook's $2.2/kloc-0.0 billion and Intel's $2/kloc-0.0 billion.
In the same year, the top ten companies with profits in Japan were Toyota Motor, Softbank, Sony, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Company, Sumitomo Mitsui, KDDI Telecom, Honda, Mitsubishi Corporation, Itochu Corporation and Japan Post respectively.
Japan's top profit-making enterprises are not in the top ten in the United States, which shows that there is a huge gap between the two sides. Japan is still the best player around Europe and America. Those who can't enter the periphery can only get a lower-end industrial chain and get lower profits.
In fact, after China's reform, it got the lowest industrial chain and the lowest profit. China, on the other hand, has a national system of "concentrating on great things" and does not engage in western free economy. If this is really done, China's fledgling industries will be killed, and all state-owned enterprises will be transformed into private enterprises. The former Soviet Union, Ukraine and Mexico all demonstrated in front, jumping off one by one and all died miserably.
A few months ago, when I visited DJI company and chatted with their employees, I asked a particularly interesting question.
I said these patents are in DJI, and Americans really want to do it. Can you copy them? DJI people say it can be copied. I said, what if the United States does not recognize these patents and directly plagiarizes your products? DJI people say it's easy. Many pharmaceutical companies in Europe and America can also make medicines. The profit is much higher than our drones. Patents should be mutually recognized, and hooligans will lose more.
At this time, I suddenly woke up. Patent protection is essentially beneficial to European and American countries. They did it. Their industrial chain is ahead, and most of the advanced patents are theirs. What if occupational protection is harmful to them?
The United States encountered this problem when it just started industrialization. At that time, the way the United States handled the problem was very simple. As long as British technicians come to the United States, they will recognize their patents and ignore British patents. Anyway, the transatlantic America and Britain can't fix it.
For example, in 1789, samuel slater, a British textile worker, sneaked into the United States, copied richard arkwright's loom from memory, and established the first water conservancy textile factory in the United States in Rhode Island. Americans call samuel slater the father of American industrial revolution, and Britain is so popular that he is called a British traitor on the island.
Today, when the technology theft in the United States is over, the new technology chain will be lit up first. He will make rules in his favor and begin to tell the world that we should attach importance to copyright and everyone should recognize each other's patents. I won't fuck you, DJI, and you won't fuck our pharmaceutical company. Our profits are higher anyway. ......
Behind civilization, there are interests.
If patents are locked up, if we can't engage in scientific research like Germans, China people will always eat leftovers from Europeans and Americans. Europe and America can't give us a better position than Japan and South Korea. Can only pick up the dregs of the low-end industrial chain to eat. If it is really as they arranged, China people in 20021year will probably get the monthly salary of 1200 yuan, and most families will use motorcycles as a means of transportation. There won't be a large number of high-tech enterprises in China, and ordinary people will be proud of being able to enter foreign companies, just like in the 1960s and 1990s.
But China is not Japanese or Korean. We tightened our pants and got the atomic bomb. When Europeans and Americans want to deal with us like Japan, they will become calm and amiable at the sight of our atomic bomb. We don't have ceilings from Japan and South Korea above our heads. China has his own right to speak. He eats hard and flies high.
I told a story before. When I was doing business with a printing factory, I realized that all printing enterprises in China actually work for Germans. Since then, I have left a heart for the progress of China industry. During the two years of writing and visiting, I collected some information about how our technicians overcome difficulties and break the technical blockade of developed countries, which I usually wrote in my notebook. Today, I can only write this topic:
When we can't make a C-shaped sealing ring, the asking price of developed countries is 3-4 million. After we could make it ourselves, the price dropped directly to 300,000, a sharp drop of 90%.
Chemical maintenance of a pressure gauge costs 10 million in developed countries, and only foreigners can repair it, 2000 a day. Later, Shenyang made this thing, 30 thousand each, and it was also a lifelong repair.
Female die molding dies for interior decoration can only be made by a few Japanese and Korean companies, and will not be produced in China. After being sent to China, the firing pin was wrongly operated, resulting in traces of rice grain size. Japan sent engineers over, and the Japanese were not allowed to watch the repair process. It will be done in half an hour, and the asking price is 300 thousand. China is already studying this technology, and the price will come down as soon as it is negotiated.
20 10 spent more than 10 thousand to install ESP. After BYD made it, it came standard.
Car-mounted lidar started at three or four thousand yuan, and later Huawei developed a 96-line car-mounted lidar for only 200 yuan. Foreigners stamped their feet with anger when they knew it.
When the world could not produce penicillin, Pfizer sold100000 units for $35. Later, after penicillin was produced in China, Americans now sell 200,000 units for 3.5 cents.
The necessary air cooling towers for nuclear power plants were sold to us by Americans with 90 million units, and China people bowed their heads and developed them themselves. Now it's 5 million.
It has been almost a hundred years since 1923, when insulin necessary for treating diabetes entered the market. Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Sanofi, the three major pharmaceutical companies that produce insulin in the United States, still form some patents by improving the management mechanism and changing the production process, which makes Lilly's insulin rise from 1996 US dollars to more than 200 US dollars today.
In the past, carbon fiber technology was monopolized by Europe, America and Japan. Nearly 70% of the products in the world are produced by a Japanese company, which is extremely expensive. And in order to prevent the progress of China's military industry, it will not be sold to us. After China got this technology, the price of carbon fiber dropped by two thirds. However, Japan still supplies ultra-high strength and high modulus carbon fiber products to NASA. China wanted to buy them but refused to sell them. Finally, it took us a year to develop the T- 1000 carbon fiber production line, and the deformation resistance of the products produced is twice as strong as that of Japan. The international carbon fiber price plummeted immediately, from 20,000 yuan per kilogram to less than 1 10,000 yuan per kilogram.
These are some areas that we have solved, and the areas that we have not solved are still used by the starting countries.
We can't maintain a large diesel engine like BMW. The overtime pay for Asian service engineers is $2,000 per hour.
Chemical instruments and valves are basically imported. In case of failure, hundreds or even thousands of valves will be lost, and China is still trying to do this.
There may be some mistakes in the above information about industrial progress, but on the whole, every step forward by the Japanese, the developed countries will take a step back. Ordinary citizens in developed countries only work five or six hours a day, and spend most of the year on vacation. In fact, they are eating the national science and technology dividend. As long as China can get more scientific and technological fields and break through the financial field, these Europeans and Americans will go back to the workshop office like Japan and South China and work hard every day.
The essence of the struggle between countries is the struggle for interests, not the ideological struggle under the banner of the West.
In the past two or three decades, there has been a great wave of ignorance of the nature of the world in China. It always attributes the backwardness of China and the progress of Europe, America and Japan to the humanistic quality, saying that China people are ignorant and lazy, while Germans are rigorous, French are romantic, English gentlemen and Americans are free. Japanese craftsmen try to brainwash ordinary people in China, making us peripheral slaves of Europeans and Americans. Like Japan and South Korea, the most vicious people simply advocate a comprehensive free economy. Criticize the inefficiency of state-owned enterprises every day, state-owned enterprises must be dissolved, and the government must never interfere in the market. China should fully open its market to compete with developed countries and guide foreign comprador to buy our state-owned assets.
Unfortunately, they all failed.
With the spirit of Japanese memorial archway, we have made progress bit by bit, eating up some high-end industrial chains, cutting off their high profits and tearing off their hypocritical ideology.
Whenever I go back to my hometown and sit down to chat with my former classmates, as long as I talk about their life trajectory in the past 40 years, I will find that people who are constantly striving for self-improvement will always break the ceiling of life and create unlimited possibilities, while lazy people are doomed to sink in the torrent of society.
Everyone has no choice in life, and every country has no choice. There is only one way to live a good personal life, and that is self-improvement.
