The call is from Chen Qing, who has returned to China again. It's really very important. Next month, someone came to the United States and wanted to visit domay point manor.
Simon thought it over and agreed.
After chatting about some details, she learned that her boss was not busy, and Chen Qing mentioned other things by the way.
Several film and television companies over there in China have basically completed their shareholding; Antiques have been dug up at the construction site of Jinshu film and Television City, but a bunch of ugly bottles and cans have been handed in voluntarily; next month, she plans to join in the fun with the dog egg's full moon wine; recently, there has been a fight in the heaven and earth nightclub in Beijing, and a group of experts claim to have confirmed the legend Chen Qing has seen the photo of Shangri La, the paradise of the middle ages. It's really beautiful. She plans to give her boss a block and build a separate hospital as usual.
Balabala.
He also talked about a business that interested Simon.
Because tincobail and Nokia intend to change their purchasing strategies, mainly because Simon told them to encircle and suppress South Korean enterprises. During this period, some battery orders previously belonging to South Korean manufacturers are planned to be transferred to several emerging enterprises in China.
One of them is BYD.
After the investigation, we found that this manufacturer is very excellent. It has been established less than three years, and its annual revenue is as high as 100 million yuan, growing rapidly. In addition, even though tincobail and Nokia didn't give much order share to BYD in the initial stage, they are still a big list compared with this newly developed company, so the increase in financing is inevitable.
Chen Qing takes advantage of the situation.
Business is not big. Through a sub fund established in Hong Kong by Apollo management company of cersei capital, it invested US $6 million, or about RMB 50 million, in this company and obtained 30% shares of BYD.
A very good deal.
Because according to the company's annual profit scale and revenue growth rate, the company's valuation is at least 200 million yuan. If it goes public, it is not impossible to achieve a market value of 300 million yuan or 500 million yuan.
However, both sides also take what they need.
A high-quality equity investment will be determined here, and westrow system will be accepted there to increase production. At the same time, more orders can be obtained from tincobail, Nokia and other enterprises.
Of course, there are also hidden worries.
At present, the company mainly produces rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries for electronic products, while the ipad-10 just released by Tinkerbell has begun to use more advanced and environmentally friendly lithium-ion batteries, which is also an inevitable trend of the core electronic enterprises of westero system.
In case the company can't keep up with the pace of technology, its future is hard to predict.
Simon just listened and didn't comment much about it.
Just like many other start-ups that westero system has invested in all over the world in recent years and may grow into Big Macs, Simon basically doesn't show too special attitude. He just stands by quietly and tries to avoid interfering in the growth path of these companies.
However, a little think, for Chen Qing's vision is very proud.
In my memory, in 2008, Warren Buffett paid HK $1.8 billion for 10% of BYD's shares. According to this standard, the investment of 6 million US dollars now will soar 108 times in about ten years.
This is far from the limit of BYD.
The only pity is that the name of this company didn't work well.
It's nothing to do with batteries now. If you set foot in cars in the future, you may be able to re open an independent sub brand.
After half an hour on the phone, Chen Qing is finally willing to hang up.
Simon then connected to a video call to domay point estate.
That's Jennifer over there.
Two days ago, Janet went to Australia to visit her relatives and tied her baby son back to school from the old man. Women usually seem to be out of tune. In fact, they are very attentive to the education of the little guy. Even if they occasionally roast the ducks raised by their baby son, they talk to Simon in private, saying that they don't want their son to love too much.
Besides, it probably inherits the old man's educational philosophy, and focuses on the eldest son. In fact, others are not random. To be more accurate, they think that a family must have several descendants who can establish a family.
Simon agrees.
It's probably genetic.
After all, it was a very important time for us to treat our guests. We had a detailed chat with Jennifer for half an hour, and we closed the line again.
Look at the time. It's more than two in the afternoon.
I didn't go to the pool again.
This is a large study on the first floor of the main villa, covering an area of more than 200 square meters. In addition to a few windows in the south, other bookshelves against the wall are full of books, languages and types. The interior of the study is divided into three parts by two rows of bookshelves. The outside entrance is the reception area, the middle office area, and the inside is the rest area.
Because it is very spacious, there are several large transparent windows. Originally, because tens of thousands of books around it may make the intensive phobia patients feel oppressed, the inside of the study is not cramped, but with a special sense of order.
Simon picked out a book in the Chinese ancient books area for a moment, returned to the leather chair behind his desk, put it on his back, and began to quietly look at the books in his hand.Often.
Suddenly I want to be quiet.
I don't know how long later, there was a slight sound of door opening outside, and then there was the sound of high-heeled shoes clattering on the floor. Simon thought it was girl a and didn't care. However, the footsteps didn't rush to come, but began to slow down, seemed to be walking, and sometimes stopped.
A moment later, the tall figure in the black professional suit finally turned to the office area. Then there was a "ah --" cry, and books fell on the floor.
Simon just looked up.
In order to avoid direct sunlight, the desk is placed against the North-South wall behind the book. Simon leans on the leather chair to see the girl walking outside.
Seeing Mo Wuling with a scared face, Simon asked, "what's the matter?"
The man's tone was flat, which made Mo Wuling feel queer. After two flustered gestures, he quickly bent down to pick up the book on the ground and said, "I thought there was no one here, Mr. westero, you Why are you here? "
Simon raised the book in his hand a little: "read a book."
"Oh."
It's a reasonable answer.
However, Mo Wuling then showed a slightly strange little expression.
A group of goblins in the swimming pool should still be there. This man, who is full of flowers, even came here to read?
Well, and
Is your sense of existence so weak? It's all in front of you, no emotional ups and downs.
Simon turned a page of the book in his hand, looked up and saw Mo Wuling was still there. He said casually, "help me make a cup of coffee. It's outside."
I'm not your maid!
Mo Wuling almost subconsciously said this in his heart, but it only existed in his heart. He turned to the outside and walked to the coffee machine. He remembered that he didn't know his taste, whether to add milk or sugar?
Then he thought, why are you so considerate?
So he made trouble for a while, picked up a cup of coffee and returned to the office area. Across the desk, he handed it to the right side of the man, far away from the big feet on the table. After all, he couldn't help reminding him: "it's a little hot."
"Thank you," Simon said, pointing to the opposite swivel chair. "Sit down."
Mo Wuling wants to say that he doesn't want to disturb you, but his body follows the man's voice, pulls the swivel chair and sits down. Unconsciously, his back is straight, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher's lecture. He doesn't dare to be upright like him. However, it seems that This swivel chair is just for guests and can't lie down.
Silent for a moment, finally took the initiative to find a topic: "what book are you reading?"
In fact, I've seen the cover, so I pretend I didn't see it.
Simon raised his book again, with three striking Chinese characters on the hardcover: Han Feizi.
Mo Wuling scratched some information about Han Feizi in his head, and then asked a question that he regretted when he opened his mouth: "can you understand it?"
Simon did not have mo Wuling fantasy displeasure, just said: "OK, and there are notes."
Mo Wuling just recognized that it was the original Chinese edition of Zhonghua Book Company. It was impossible to have English notes, but he reflected that he was speaking vernacular notes. Obviously, a foreigner's face, even if only reading vernacular, is enough to make people surprised.
"That..." Mo Wuling paused and asked, "do you like Chinese Legalists?"
Han Feizi is a famous representative of Legalist School in the Warring States period.
"If you want to seek business management ideas from a theoretical perspective, Han Feizi is no worse than Sun Tzu's art of war. However, if you say that there are 100 schools in China, I prefer Confucianism."
Mo Wuling was surprised again: "why?"
Since modern times, Confucianism is not very popular in China, and most of them are criticized.
Simon thought for a moment, then said: "Legalists can only make systems, but Confucianism can shape people's minds."
Mo Wuling university is studying in the Chinese department. He has enough literary literacy, but he has not considered similar problems. When he heard that from a man, he felt that he didn't understand. He still couldn't resist subconsciously arguing with someone: "do you think people's heart is more reliable than the system?"
Simon raised his head and looked at Mo Wuling, who was a bit more beautiful than Zhu Mo, and more in line with his own aesthetic soft face: "this question, you should not ask me such a foreigner."
Mo Wuling was puzzled by the blue eyes on the opposite side of the desk. However, she had a strong personality similar to her elder sister. When she was strong, she became stronger. She countered: "you just said that you prefer Confucianism."
"Oh."
Man tone again convergence, Mo Wuling was aroused temperament, pursued: "I just the question?"
Simon saw that the girl on the other side was a little aggressive. He bent his mouth, folded up his legs on the edge of the desk, made up his body, looked at the opposite side and said, "in this way, from the perspective of civilization inheritance, you can find how lucky the Chinese civilization with Confucianism is. Among the major ancient civilizations in world history, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome are And so on, they have basically disappeared in history, and now many of the remaining on the corresponding land are not the original descendants of civilization at all. But in China, you started from the Han Dynasty, even in the Yuan Dynasty, which was conquered by the Mongols, the civilization was not completely cut off. Until now, it has lasted for 2000 years. Why do you think this is? "Mo Wuling was speechless for a moment.
It seems that it makes sense.
As for why?
The answer seems to be It's also obvious.
Seeing Mo Wuling's speechless appearance, Simon took a sip of coffee next to him and then said, "so it's the greatest luck for you Chinese civilization to have Confucianism. Otherwise, Chinese civilization may no longer exist after Wu Hu Luan Hua 1700 years ago."
Mo Wuling was still very unconvinced. His mind flew around and he finally said, "but don't you think Confucianism is also a kind of constraint on civilization, otherwise, China will not be so backward as it is now."
"Bondage?" Simon looked at the opposite girl: "if Confucianism is really a fetter, it should develop into a religion. Do you know how many pagans were burned to death in medieval Europe? What's more, most of China's ancient dynasties, which lasted for two thousand years, are the most powerful on the planet, whether from economic or cultural perspectives. "
"But What do you say now? "
"Now," Simon said with a little emotion, "the weakness of modern China began in the Qing Dynasty. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with Confucianism, but just because of Legalists. The Qing Dynasty is a period of Chinese civilization ruled by ethnic minorities. Of course, it has been assimilated by you now. In order to stabilize its rule, the Qing government adopted the strategy of weakening the people and fooling the people. This is the method of Legalists. Should you know the book of Shang Jun? If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, the Ming army began to use a large number of artillery when fighting with the Mongols. A hundred years ago, facing the artillery on British warships, some well-informed officials of the Qing Dynasty even thought it was magic, so they used the way of praying for witchcraft and sacrifice to deal with it, just like primitive people. This is the result of Legalists' ignorance. "
Mo Wuling listened to the man talking in fluent Chinese. He was so organized that he could not refute. He calmed down unconsciously. He leaned forward a little and put his arm on the desk. He could not help asking, "well, why can Western civilization develop so well in the past 100 years?"
Simon just thought about this question, and replied without any hindrance: "this can only be said to be a kind of historical accident. The rise of Western civilization has nothing to do with cultural system and other reasons, but an unexpected outbreak of pure productivity, which has brought human society from the agricultural civilization that has lasted for thousands of years to the industrial civilization, and the productivity has increased exponentially, thus giving you, such as China These countries lag behind in productivity, which is an illusion of being more advanced. But in fact, in addition to the strong productive forces, the Western cultural system does not have much excellence. Only in modern times, the two world wars that brought great disasters to human society came from Europe, where industrial civilization originated. The reason is that the core of European system is still in the spring and Autumn Warring States period, when China's leading countries were in dispute for more than 2000 years In fact, the noble system and chivalry that people boast of are only a kind of culture that prevailed in China more than 2000 years ago. At that time, people also thought that the noble was born. At the same time, some people committed themselves to serving the noble. Until later, someone finally began to wake up. Would you rather have seed? "
Mo Wuling's eyes were already shining. When the man said that, he even had an impulse to clap, and his voice became soft: "Mr. westrow, if it wasn't for this face, I would almost have thought you were Chinese."
Simon smiles: "you can call me Simon."
Mo Wuling felt that something in her heart was about to melt away. It seemed very dangerous, but she didn't want to leave immediately. She nodded her head: "OK, Simon, how do you know so many things?"
Simon looked up Han Feizi, which he still held in his hand: "read more books."
"It must not be like this," Mo Wuling said with a coquetry tone he didn't even know: "you It seems that you are only four or five years older than me, but I think your talent may take others several lifetimes to accumulate? "
Like the songs she's been listening to in recent months.
During this period of time, there have been some doubts, especially in such ancient styles as "the meeting of the world" and "Yu tiaotan", how can a Western man do it?
Now, after just a conversation, suddenly there is no doubt.
Simon did not respond to Mo Wuling's question, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you were so small, I thought you were older than me."
Mo Yiling, whom the opposite girl and Simon have met, has the mature temperament which is inclined to the style of imperial sister. She is also aunt Zhu mo. Simon didn't pay attention to it before. He really thought that she was about 30 years old and older than himself. When Mo Wuling said so, he realized that the girl was younger than himself.
Mo Wuling was speechless when he heard Simon's words.
Is this human language?
Are you so old?
The more she thinks about it, the more angry she gets. She stares at someone with a face full of complaints. However, Mo Wuling suddenly reacts and thinks of her niece. Her eyes blink a few times. She is clearly in the house. She has a cold feeling of being drenched in the rain. She subconsciously gets up: "that one, Wei Simon, it's time I went out. I won't disturb your reading"Well, by the way, help me get Momo and them all here," Simon said, looking up at his watch in a casual, eccentric tone. "I suddenly want to talk to you about what I just talked about."
“……”
Asshole, are you going to show your true colors so soon?
Big sex wolf!
Mo Wuling looked at a guy as if nothing had happened. She leaned back to the leather chair and opened the book Han Feizi. She looked lazy, but her eyes raised again and looked at the book wall behind the man. In fact, I have been to this study in the morning. Mo Wuling knows that through this wall, the inner room is a rest room with a big bed.
And All of you?!
I'm tired of you.
When I left my study, I didn't intend to help someone shout at all,
wait!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The call is from Chen Qing, who has returned to China again. It's really very important. Next month, someone came to the United States and wanted to visit domay point manor.
Simon thought it over and agreed.
After chatting about some details, she learned that her boss was not busy, and Chen Qing mentioned other things by the way.
Several film and television companies over there in China have basically completed their shareholding; Antiques have been dug up at the construction site of Jinshu film and Television City, but a bunch of ugly bottles and cans have been handed in voluntarily; next month, she plans to join in the fun with the dog egg's full moon wine; recently, there has been a fight in the heaven and earth nightclub in Beijing, and a group of experts claim to have confirmed the legend Chen Qing has seen the photo of Shangri La, the paradise of the middle ages. It's really beautiful. She plans to give her boss a block and build a separate hospital as usual.
Balabala.
He also talked about a business that interested Simon.
Because tincobail and Nokia intend to change their purchasing strategies, mainly because Simon told them to encircle and suppress South Korean enterprises.

Of course, there are also hidden worries.
At present, the company mainly produces rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries for electronic products, while the ipad-10 just released by Tinkerbell has begun to use more advanced and environmentally friendly lithium-ion batteries, which is also an inevitable trend of the core electronic enterprises of westero system.
In case the company can't keep up with the pace of technology, its future is hard to predict.

Is this human language?
Are you so old?
The more she thinks about it, the more angry she gets. She stares at someone with a face full of complaints. However, Mo Wuling suddenly reacts and thinks of her niece. Her eyes blink a few times. She is clearly in the house. She has a cold feeling of being drenched in the rain. She subconsciously gets up: "that one, Wei Simon, it's time I went out. I won't disturb your reading"Well, by the way, help me get Momo and them all here," Simon said, looking up at his watch in a casual, eccentric tone. "I suddenly want to talk to you about what I just talked about."
“……”
Asshole, are you going to show your true colors so soon?
Big sex wolf!
Mo Wuling looked at a guy as if nothing had happened. She leaned back to the leather chair and opened the book Han Feizi. She looked lazy, but her eyes raised again and looked at the book wall behind the man. In fact, I have been to this study in the morning. Mo Wuling knows that through this wall, the inner room is a rest room with a big bed.
And All of you?!
I'm tired of you.
When I left my study, I didn't intend to help someone shout at all,
wait!
The call is from Chen Qing, who has returned to China again. It's really very important. Next month, someone came to the United States and wanted to visit domay point manor. Simon thought it over and agreed. After chatting about some details, she learned that her boss was not busy, and Chen Qing mentioned other things by the way. Several film and television companies over there in China have basically completed their shareholding; Antiques have been dug up at the construction site of Jinshu film and Television City, but a bunch of ugly bottles and cans have been handed in voluntarily; next month, she plans to join in the fun with the dog egg's full moon wine; recently, there has been a fight in the heaven and earth nightclub in Beijing, and a group of experts claim to have confirmed the legend Chen Qing has seen the photo of Shangri La, the paradise of the middle ages. It's really beautiful. She plans to give her boss a block and build a separate hospital as usual. Balabala. He also talked about a business that interested Simon. Because tincobail and Nokia intend to change their purchasing strategies, mainly because Simon told them to encircle and suppress South Korean enterprises. During this period, some battery orders previously belonging to South Korean manufacturers are planned to be transferred to several emerging enterprises in China. One of them is BYD. After the investigation, we found that this manufacturer is very excellent. It has been established less than three years, and its annual revenue is as high as 100 million yuan, growing rapidly. In addition, even though tincobail and Nokia didn't give much order share to BYD in the initial stage, they are still a big list compared with this newly developed company, so the increase in financing is inevitable. Chen Qing takes advantage of the situation. Business is not big. Through a sub fund established in Hong Kong by Apollo management company of cersei capital, it invested US $6 million, or about RMB 50 million, in this company and obtained 30% shares of BYD. A very good deal. Because according to the company's annual profit scale and revenue growth rate, the company's valuation is at least 200 million yuan. If it goes public, it is not impossible to achieve a market value of 300 million yuan or 500 million yuan. However, both sides also take what they need. A high-quality equity investment will be determined here, and westrow system will be accepted there to increase production. At the same time, more orders can be obtained from tincobail, Nokia and other enterprises. Of course, there are also hidden worries. At present, the company mainly produces rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries for electronic products, while the ipad-10 just released by Tinkerbell has begun to use more advanced and environmentally friendly lithium-ion batteries, which is also an inevitable trend of the core electronic enterprises of westero system. In case the company can't keep up with the pace of technology, its future is hard to predict. Simon just listened and didn't comment much about it. Just like many other start-ups that westero system has invested in all over the world in recent years and may grow into Big Macs, Simon basically doesn't show too special attitude. He just stands by quietly and tries to avoid interfering in the growth path of these companies. However, a little think, for Chen Qing's vision is very proud. In my memory, in 2008, Warren Buffett paid HK $1.8 billion for 10% of BYD's shares. According to this standard, the investment of 6 million US dollars now will soar 108 times in about ten years. This is far from the limit of BYD. The only pity is that the name of this company didn't work well. It's nothing to do with batteries now. If you set foot in cars in the future, you may be able to re open an independent sub brand. After half an hour on the phone, Chen Qing is finally willing to hang up. Simon then connected to a video call to domay point estate. That's Jennifer over there. Two days ago, Janet went to Australia to visit her relatives and tied her baby son back to school from the old man. Women usually seem to be out of tune. In fact, they are very attentive to the education of the little guy. Even if they occasionally roast the ducks raised by their baby son, they talk to Simon in private, saying that they don't want their son to love too much. Besides, it probably inherits the old man's educational philosophy, and focuses on the eldest son. In fact, others are not random. To be more accurate, they think that a family must have several descendants who can establish a family. Simon agrees. It's probably genetic. After all, it was a very important time for us to treat our guests. We had a detailed chat with Jennifer for half an hour, and we closed the line again. Look at the time. It's more than two in the afternoon. I didn't go to the pool again. This is a large study on the first floor of the main villa, covering an area of more than 200 square meters. In addition to a few windows in the south, other bookshelves against the wall are full of books, languages and types. The interior of the study is divided into three parts by two rows of bookshelves. The outside entrance is the reception area, the middle office area, and the inside is the rest area. Because it is very spacious, there are several large transparent windows. Originally, because tens of thousands of books around it may make the intensive phobia patients feel oppressed, the inside of the study is not cramped, but with a special sense of order. Simon picked out a book in the Chinese ancient books area for a moment, returned to the leather chair behind his desk, put it on his back, and began to quietly look at the books in his hand.Often. Suddenly I want to be quiet. I don't know how long later, there was a slight sound of door opening outside, and then there was the sound of high-heeled shoes clattering on the floor. Simon thought it was girl a and didn't care. However, the footsteps didn't rush to come, but began to slow down, seemed to be walking, and sometimes stopped. A moment later, the tall figure in the black professional suit finally turned to the office area. Then there was a "ah --" cry, and books fell on the floor. Simon just looked up. In order to avoid direct sunlight, the desk is placed against the North-South wall behind the book. Simon leans on the leather chair to see the girl walking outside. Seeing Mo Wuling with a scared face, Simon asked, "what's the matter?" The man's tone was flat, which made Mo Wuling feel queer. After two flustered gestures, he quickly bent down to pick up the book on the ground and said, "I thought there was no one here, Mr. westero, you Why are you here? " Simon raised the book in his hand a little: "read a book." "Oh." It's a reasonable answer. However, Mo Wuling then showed a slightly strange little expression. A group of goblins in the swimming pool should still be there. This man, who is full of flowers, even came here to read? Well, and Is your sense of existence so weak? It's all in front of you, no emotional ups and downs. Simon turned a page of the book in his hand, looked up and saw Mo Wuling was still there. He said casually, "help me make a cup of coffee. It's outside." I'm not your maid! Mo Wuling almost subconsciously said this in his heart, but it only existed in his heart. He turned to the outside and walked to the coffee machine. He remembered that he didn't know his taste, whether to add milk or sugar? Then he thought, why are you so considerate? So he made trouble for a while, picked up a cup of coffee and returned to the office area. Across the desk, he handed it to the right side of the man, far away from the big feet on the table. After all, he couldn't help reminding him: "it's a little hot." "Thank you," Simon said, pointing to the opposite swivel chair. "Sit down." Mo Wuling wants to say that he doesn't want to disturb you, but his body follows the man's voice, pulls the swivel chair and sits down. Unconsciously, his back is straight, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher's lecture. He doesn't dare to be upright like him. However, it seems that This swivel chair is just for guests and can't lie down. Silent for a moment, finally took the initiative to find a topic: "what book are you reading?" In fact, I've seen the cover, so I pretend I didn't see it. Simon raised his book again, with three striking Chinese characters on the hardcover: Han Feizi. Mo Wuling scratched some information about Han Feizi in his head, and then asked a question that he regretted when he opened his mouth: "can you understand it?" Simon did not have mo Wuling fantasy displeasure, just said: "OK, and there are notes." Mo Wuling just recognized that it was the original Chinese edition of Zhonghua Book Company. It was impossible to have English notes, but he reflected that he was speaking vernacular notes. Obviously, a foreigner's face, even if only reading vernacular, is enough to make people surprised. "That..." Mo Wuling paused and asked, "do you like Chinese Legalists?" Han Feizi is a famous representative of Legalist School in the Warring States period. "If you want to seek business management ideas from a theoretical perspective, Han Feizi is no worse than Sun Tzu's art of war. However, if you say that there are 100 schools in China, I prefer Confucianism." Mo Wuling was surprised again: "why?" Since modern times, Confucianism is not very popular in China, and most of them are criticized. Simon thought for a moment, then said: "Legalists can only make systems, but Confucianism can shape people's minds." Mo Wuling university is studying in the Chinese department. He has enough literary literacy, but he has not considered similar problems. When he heard that from a man, he felt that he didn't understand. He still couldn't resist subconsciously arguing with someone: "do you think people's heart is more reliable than the system?" Simon raised his head and looked at Mo Wuling, who was a bit more beautiful than Zhu Mo, and more in line with his own aesthetic soft face: "this question, you should not ask me such a foreigner." Mo Wuling was puzzled by the blue eyes on the opposite side of the desk. However, she had a strong personality similar to her elder sister. When she was strong, she became stronger. She countered: "you just said that you prefer Confucianism." "Oh." Man tone again convergence, Mo Wuling was aroused temperament, pursued: "I just the question?" Simon saw that the girl on the other side was a little aggressive. He bent his mouth, folded up his legs on the edge of the desk, made up his body, looked at the opposite side and said, "in this way, from the perspective of civilization inheritance, you can find how lucky the Chinese civilization with Confucianism is. Among the major ancient civilizations in world history, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome are And so on, they have basically disappeared in history, and now many of the remaining on the corresponding land are not the original descendants of civilization at all. But in China, you started from the Han Dynasty, even in the Yuan Dynasty, which was conquered by the Mongols, the civilization was not completely cut off. Until now, it has lasted for 2000 years. Why do you think this is? "Mo Wuling was speechless for a moment. It seems that it makes sense. As for why? The answer seems to be It's also obvious. Seeing Mo Wuling's speechless appearance, Simon took a sip of coffee next to him and then said, "so it's the greatest luck for you Chinese civilization to have Confucianism. Otherwise, Chinese civilization may no longer exist after Wu Hu Luan Hua 1700 years ago." Mo Wuling was still very unconvinced. His mind flew around and he finally said, "but don't you think Confucianism is also a kind of constraint on civilization, otherwise, China will not be so backward as it is now." "Bondage?" Simon looked at the opposite girl: "if Confucianism is really a fetter, it should develop into a religion. Do you know how many pagans were burned to death in medieval Europe? What's more, most of China's ancient dynasties, which lasted for two thousand years, are the most powerful on the planet, whether from economic or cultural perspectives. " "But What do you say now? " "Now," Simon said with a little emotion, "the weakness of modern China began in the Qing Dynasty. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with Confucianism, but just because of Legalists. The Qing Dynasty is a period of Chinese civilization ruled by ethnic minorities. Of course, it has been assimilated by you now. In order to stabilize its rule, the Qing government adopted the strategy of weakening the people and fooling the people. This is the method of Legalists. Should you know the book of Shang Jun? If I remember correctly, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, the Ming army began to use a large number of artillery when fighting with the Mongols. A hundred years ago, facing the artillery on British warships, some well-informed officials of the Qing Dynasty even thought it was magic, so they used the way of praying for witchcraft and sacrifice to deal with it, just like primitive people. This is the result of Legalists' ignorance. " Mo Wuling listened to the man talking in fluent Chinese. He was so organized that he could not refute. He calmed down unconsciously. He leaned forward a little and put his arm on the desk. He could not help asking, "well, why can Western civilization develop so well in the past 100 years?" Simon just thought about this question, and replied without any hindrance: "this can only be said to be a kind of historical accident. The rise of Western civilization has nothing to do with cultural system and other reasons, but an unexpected outbreak of pure productivity, which has brought human society from the agricultural civilization that has lasted for thousands of years to the industrial civilization, and the productivity has increased exponentially, thus giving you, such as China These countries lag behind in productivity, which is an illusion of being more advanced. But in fact, in addition to the strong productive forces, the Western cultural system does not have much excellence. Only in modern times, the two world wars that brought great disasters to human society came from Europe, where industrial civilization originated. The reason is that the core of European system is still in the spring and Autumn Warring States period, when China's leading countries were in dispute for more than 2000 years In fact, the noble system and chivalry that people boast of are only a kind of culture that prevailed in China more than 2000 years ago. At that time, people also thought that the noble was born. At the same time, some people committed themselves to serving the noble. Until later, someone finally began to wake up. Would you rather have seed? " Mo Wuling's eyes were already shining. When the man said that, he even had an impulse to clap, and his voice became soft: "Mr. westrow, if it wasn't for this face, I would almost have thought you were Chinese." Simon smiles: "you can call me Simon." Mo Wuling felt that something in her heart was about to melt away. It seemed very dangerous, but she didn't want to leave immediately. She nodded her head: "OK, Simon, how do you know so many things?" Simon looked up Han Feizi, which he still held in his hand: "read more books." "It must not be like this," Mo Wuling said with a coquetry tone he didn't even know: "you It seems that you are only four or five years older than me, but I think your talent may take others several lifetimes to accumulate? " Like the songs she's been listening to in recent months. During this period of time, there have been some doubts, especially in such ancient styles as "the meeting of the world" and "Yu tiaotan", how can a Western man do it? Now, after just a conversation, suddenly there is no doubt. Simon did not respond to Mo Wuling's question, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you were so small, I thought you were older than me." Mo Yiling, whom the opposite girl and Simon have met, has the mature temperament which is inclined to the style of imperial sister. She is also aunt Zhu mo. Simon didn't pay attention to it before. He really thought that she was about 30 years old and older than himself. When Mo Wuling said so, he realized that the girl was younger than himself. Mo Wuling was speechless when he heard Simon's words. Is this human language? Are you so old? The more she thinks about it, the more angry she gets. She stares at someone with a face full of complaints. However, Mo Wuling suddenly reacts and thinks of her niece. Her eyes blink a few times. She is clearly in the house. She has a cold feeling of being drenched in the rain. She subconsciously gets up: "that one, Wei Simon, it's time I went out.

"I suddenly want to talk to you about what I just talked about." Asshole, are you going to show your true colors so soon? Big sex wolf! Mo Wuling looked at a guy as if nothing had happened. She leaned back to the leather chair and opened the book Han Feizi. She looked lazy, but her eyes raised again and looked at the book wall behind the man. In fact, I have been to this study in the morning. Mo Wuling knows that through this wall, the inner room is a rest room with a big bed. And All of you?! I'm tired of you.
