[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

The emergence of the Nine Dragon Cup directly caused a sensation in the entire western world. This episode of the BBC's program can't be broadcast directly.

£40 seems like a lot, especially between 1986 and 1987.But don't forget, what is the institution with the most money in Western capitalist countries?It is various research institutes!

Although 40 pounds sounds like a lot of nothing wrong, compared with the average annual investment of these research institutes, which is tens of billions per year, 40 pounds is not even a drizzle.

As long as the scientists who watched the BBC's live broadcast have only one reaction, that is: what is four years in China?What is sending billions of pounds to China?It is a great achievement to get this kind of cup!

If you study this cup thoroughly, you will never lose the Nobel Prize in Physics!

After all, this faucet spits out a cup of water, which violates now known principles of physics.Since the faucet can spit out water without relying on external force, it means that this cup implies high-tech and even physics principles that are still unclear!

This principle must be understood!

I believe that many studies can be used!

These scientists ordered their assistants to snap up these batches of Nine Dragon Cup tea sets, and at the same time sent people to check whether the Chinese and the Duke of Branson had conducted relevant research.

After hearing that only product patents were registered but no in-depth research was conducted, and no principles and results were announced, they investigated Duke Branson’s investment in China and learned that Duke Branson did not invest in research institutes in China at all. It exploded immediately.

In the name of the research institute, they quickly snapped up this cup from the trading company under the Duke of Branson's Mansion. While snatching it back, they sighed: It is indeed an ancient country with a splendid civilization of 5000 years, and they still haven't figured out the principle of that cup yet. , the ancient Chinese have put it into practical use!

Because there were too many competing research institutes and the intervention of various governments, the six sets of tea sets brought back by Zhao Changqing had to be disassembled for auction.Six sets, six teapots and 24 cups. The final average transaction price of the teapots was 400 million pounds. As for the cups, none of them was less than 5000 million pounds.

Even though Zhao Changqing has repeatedly stated that as long as these research institutes are willing to wait, a year later, they will buy it at a price of 40 pounds per set.

But for these scientists, what is really precious is time!It's only a few hundred million pounds. If their research can produce results, no amount of investment will be worth it!It's about scientific research, how can these research institutes be stingy with money? !

Although the spirit of cooperation prevails in the West, after a research institute researches, the results are shared by everyone, which can avoid a lot of redundant construction and waste of resources.

However, that was after the results came out!Who knows if there are other secrets in this cup?Besides, if we talk about the results, isn't this cup the best proof?The Chinese have already produced results.But who told China not to apply for a patent?It seems the duke didn't apply either.If the research comes out, wouldn't they be reaping the benefits?

This is one of the reasons why major research institutes compete for these tea sets.

As a result of this auction, the prices of high imitations of the Nine Dragon Cup series have remained high, and the Forbidden City in Beijing has received a lot of funds for this.

Of course, this is a story.

For BBC Television, the most important thing is live broadcast!Although this time, the live broadcast was interrupted due to the Kowloon Cup incident, the TV station spent a lot of effort, and it was only in January 1987, after the New Year holiday, that it applied for the second live broadcast.

Of course, this time it is not in the big study of Qiangwei Manor, but in the big conservatory of Qiangwei Manor.

This time, BBC Television sent their number one talker, Ms. Elizabeth Knightley.

The lady said to Zhao Changqing like this: "Your Highness, do you have anything to explain about the fact that the six tea sets you brought back last time sold for 20 billion pounds?"

The replica of the Nine Dragon Cup was sold for such a high price, Zhao Changqing had notified the country as soon as possible.Half of the more than 20 billion pounds belonged to Zhao Changqing, and the other half belonged to the Forbidden City Museum, just like the original contract they cooperated with.

So this time the global live broadcast, I don't know if it is the Western world, but even the Chinese side also broadcast it.

It's just about half a day later than the British side.After all, translating and adding subtitles also takes time.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "I think many friends in front of the TV should have read "Arabian Nights". I think the feeling that that piece of land gives you now is the same as that described in "Arabian Nights". In that way, we see them digging hard with hoes, thinking that they must be very poor, but the seeds they use to sow are all kinds of top gemstones, and even the hoes they use are made of ivory and Canaanite wood Yes. Just like those Jiulong cups, I think the professors of both Cambridge University and Oxford University should be very aware of the technical content of these cups, but in China, these technologies are only used by people to make tea sets, and they are not worth it at all. This is the gap. It's not that they don't have technology, but their tradition blinds them, ignoring that these technologies can be used in other places. And we, I can only say that the West can't say that it has won. the old country."

Ms. Knightley nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I am very glad that the people of that country love peace. If they put these technologies into war instead of using these technologies to make gadgets to please the people like they are now, I would I think, there may be only one country left in the whole world! However, Your Royal Highness, I am still quite puzzled, if this country is really so powerful and has so many advanced technologies, then why is this country so weak? Even The Soviet Union was able to play them around and use them as a testing ground."

Zhao Changqing said: "This is the main reason why I went to China this time. At the beginning, I also kept such doubts when I embarked on the journey to that country. The only conclusion I got was that every person in this country should stay. With the blood of master craftsmen, as long as they are given time and opportunity, they can create miracles. Similarly, like any decadent and backward country, that country has a group of annoying bureaucrats. And these bureaucrats are mainly concentrated in the middle. Officials at the top and at the top rarely pay attention to them, while aspiring lower-level officials are held hostage or even constrained by them."

There is no doubt that Zhao Changqing did not say it, but every Chinese who watched this program understands the unspoken sentence behind this sentence:

These officials happened to climb up during that ridiculous decade.

Ms. Knightley pressed, surprised: "A bureaucrat? You mean a bureaucrat?"

Zhao Changqing nodded, and replied: "Yes. For example, when I was at the upper level, I said that in China, there is not much difference in wage levels across the country, whether it is a novice apprentice, a top craftsman, or a Leaders of the country, they don't differ by more than thirty dollars in wages. Can you imagine, Ms. Knightley?"

Elizabeth Knightley shook her head again and again: "This is really unbelievable! I have never thought that if I am given less than three pounds a month, I don't know how to live!"

Zhao Changqing replied: "However, their social welfare is very good. In the four years in China, all the workers I saw, together with their families, received no money for medical treatment, their children studied in the school attached to the factory, and even the whole family lived in the factory. In the dormitory. When I invest in that country, I must at least solve the accommodation problem for the workers, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to recruit people. Of course, the cost of the house, if calculated according to China’s domestic standards, is also very, very cheap.”

"Oh my God, I can't imagine it!" screamed Ms. Knightley. "The medical care is free, and the children don't have to worry about their reading problems! Even the accommodation is also taken care of! Is this true? This, Is this really the poor and backward China in our eyes?"

Zhao Changqing said: "This was decided by their first generation of leaders. And they have achieved this. Therefore, when I decided to invest in this country, I was not sure. I was worried that no workers would apply for the job. Until I saw their dormitory."

"dormitory?"

"Yes. Although their dormitory is also made of steel, concrete and masonry, the structure of their dormitory is very backward and the area is relatively small. There are six people in the family, and the living area is only [-] square meters, and there is no room in the room. bathroom……"

"Oh~!"

There was a palpable relief in Ms Knightley's exclamation.

"So you find that you can still get employees on that land, don't you?"

Zhao Changqing replied: "Yes. Although I had to use cold-rolled steel technology to purchase building materials nearby, I did build 10,000+ employee apartments for the workers under me. According to my plan, A total of about 100 million units need to be built to meet demand.”

"100 sets."

"Yes. According to my estimation, the permanent resident population of Beijing should exceed 2000 million in the future. Therefore, in an industrial zone, 100 million small apartments correspond to 100 million workers. It basically meets the needs."

Knightley said with emotion: "There are 2000 million people in a city! It must be a super big city!"

"Don't forget, London, England is also a super city with a permanent population of tens of millions! And the entire population of the UK has not yet reached [-] million! And the population of China exceeds [-] million!"
