As the "China Communication", Hoover obviously understands many things that Americans don't understand, but even though he served as a coal mine engineer in China before the Boxer Rebellion, he returned to New York before the founding of New China. It is inaccurate to just look at this new country from the newspaper. Only when you are immersive can you truly discover the changes in this country.pbtt.

Apart from the banquets every night, the journey in the Pacific seemed extremely boring. Unlike the aging management scientist Mr. Taylor, who almost died of pneumonia in 1915, Harvard psychologist Dr. Mayo often talked to him about Chinese people, "What exactly are Chinese people and what are Chinese characteristics?" has always been the focus of the two people's discussion.

"Doctor, China is a very large country with a large population. Although they use the same word and a special language, the slang in different places is completely different, especially in the south. It is said that the people of one county and another county are completely unable to talk to, except for those well-educated gentry." After visiting Japan, the next destination of the cruise ship was Tianjin, which was not a long journey. "In such a big country, it is difficult to answer what kind of people are Chinese, but I can describe some of the characteristics of Chinese people.

For example, most Chinese farmers are poor, although they are very hardworking. They respect their ancestors and sacrifice them with pigs and cattle that they cannot usually eat, hoping that their ancestors will bless them; they are very obedient to officials and local gentry, and gentry, like parish priests in the south of the United States, can determine their status and thoughts. However, this obedience is only their side. When a volcano erupts, they will become extremely cruel to those who oppress themselves, and also cruel to those who do not oppress themselves in normal times…”

"It's like a fist?" Dr. Mayo could see fear in Hoover's eyes and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Although he was only a psychologist, he was not a political enemy, and even a politician. Hoover could express his true feelings with confidence. "The barbarism of the Chinese people will only erupt when he resists, especially when there are many people. Before, they were so obedient. They could silently endure anything and never fight for their legal rights. Gentlemen, officials, and others will bully them. I think the result of this bullying will be like volcanic accumulation of magma. When volcanic magma accumulates to a certain level, it will erupt at an unexpected time. Destroy everything, yes, I am sure it can destroy everything."

Hoover affirmed, "At this time, only bullets and machine guns can calm them down. The former governor of Zhili, Lord Yuan, did a very good job at this point. His army was never ruthless against the boxers. He would kill them all as long as he caught them. Therefore, in the boxing chaos, Shandong is the safest place, and the expatriates from all countries were well protected.

From this we can be sure that we can only speak with guns and cannons to the Chinese, and we do not have to use force when they obey, but when the volcano erupts, as long as there are enough guns and firm determination, they can be obedient again. It can be said that these pagans are completely different from God's electorate. Most of the American people have their own lawyers. If their rights are threatened, they will defend their rights. If the government sends troops to suppress them, they will take up weapons and resist, just like they did when they revolt against the British rulers."

Hoover is not so much about introducing Chinese people, but rather recalling his experiences during the fist. Dr. Mayo, who was a little disappointed, waited for him to finish his coffee and said, "Mr. Minister. What do you think of Chinese goods? They are cheap, strong, and have many tricks. Everyone who has used them is very satisfied. Take cars as an example. China's car orders have been in short supply, and it is said that orders have been scheduled for the following year. They are almost unaffected by the economic crisis, if we do not raise tariffs."

"This is actually a strange thing about the Chinese people. Doctors, they are pagans loved by God outside of God's elect. I mean that the Chinese merchants used by decent gentlemen and superiors are very exquisite. If they were not seen with their own eyes, you can't believe that such beautiful things come from their extremely rough hands. This will make you sympathize with them from the heart, hoping that they can live a Ming life like the Ming people. Every missionary who goes to China holds the Lord's mercy and wants to save them and lead them to the Lord's arms, and thus free them from the oppression of the gentry and officials, but it is obviously futile. The misunderstandings on both sides are too deep, and the evil Europe has messed up everything..."

"Mr. Minister, then do you think Chinese goods are not special, because they are good at making exquisite merchants, and the reason why they are cheap is entirely because the salary is one-thirty-one of the American workers?" Dr. Mayo had to interrupt Hoover's lyricism, because he roughly guessed that Hoover's answer was very similar to Mr. Ford.

But obviously he was wrong. Hoover shook his head and said, "Doctor, it is not so simple to determine the Chinese. They are very complicated. Judging from my experience in Kaiping Coal Mine, Chinese miners have very rare unity and cooperation. They seem to be natural trade unions, and all workers obey one or two leaders. If they violate their interests, I mean profoundly violate them. For example, if everyone's wages are deducted, they will become extremely united. This power comes from the friendship of hometown and the Chinese people..."

"Chinese people?" Dr. Mayo's interest was raised again, and he recited the word "chine color.kin". "Mr. Minister, what is the difference between Chinese people and American families?"

"What's the difference..." Hoover thought of the Chinese tribes with deep ancestral halls, and laughed: "This can be said to be a barbaric relic, just like African colonial tribes, but African tribes will resist the invasion of colonists, and the only function of the Chinese tribe is to resist the priests leading the suffering people to the Lord's arms. In addition, if conditions permit, they will also oppose local governments. Local officials sometimes find it difficult to order them, especially when the empire is weak, tax officials cannot receive enough taxes from them, so they can only collect double taxes on those who do not belong to the family, and then the empire will perish.

It is said that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed like this, and because the Ming Dynasty could not collect enough taxes, the army eventually became a rebel..."

"This is unimaginable!" Dr. Mayo shook his head vigorously, not understanding it. "These families should resist the alien rulers, why don't they do this?"

"Why?" Hoover laughed, "because they have no power, or the power is strictly limited, the emperor is worried that the power of these families will become very powerful in the future and eventually affect their status. Therefore, they are not allowed to hold weapons or intervene in local affairs. They are just large farmers in the western United States, no, no. They are even worse than farmers. The horsemen have revolvers, and the farmers may have submachine guns or machine guns.

Doctor, this is the Asian-style **. The ruler must do everything possible to curb the power of the people. Let them become weak and obedient, otherwise the rule of his descendants will not be maintained. A famous emperor in China once said: The people are water, and he is a ship. The best result is that the ship floats on the water, and the worst result is that the ship sinks to the bottom of the water... Therefore, for thousands of years, the rulers have tried every means to calm the water surface and not move, so as not to overturn their ship..."

Under the introduction of Hoover, the pseudo-China Master, Dr. Mayo and his colleagues became very disappointed, and they even regretted crossing the ocean to visit China. Because this was destined to be nothing. Then management scientist Mr. Taylor did not think so. He had communicated with the Chinese Prime Minister who visited Washington, and believed that the Chinese goods were definitely not that simple.

Mr. Taylor's words ignited some hopes for Mayo and others, but then this hope seemed to be extinguished by Hoover. When the cruise ship licensed to enter the Haihe River in Tianjin, Hoover pointed to the cloth signs of the shops on both sides of the Haihe River and said: "Doctor, every sign says: 'I don't even deceive the elderly and children; once there is a fake, I will compensate the guests ten times the loss', but these are all lies, a country that writes lies on the sign..."

What Hoover said was only the common responsibilities of all foreigners in this era when they came to China to boast that they absolutely abide by trust and contracts. What he said was actually the words "No deception, one is fined ten if one is fake." It is said that Chinese is often superior. Dr. Gu Hongming, who said all foreigners speechlessly, was silent about this. From then on, these eight words became the best example of the Chinese never abide by contracts. Whenever new expatriates came ashore, the old birds would point to these signs and warn the newcomers to pay attention, the Chinese never keep their promises!

Amid the sound of cannons, the new Prime Minister Song Jiaoren who came to greet him did not know Hoover's secret accusations, and even if he knew, he would laugh it off. At this time, because of the Eurasian Canal created by Yang Zengxin, China is being dissatisfied and suspicious of European and American countries. This time, the visit of the US delegation to China will be an excellent opportunity to eliminate misunderstandings.

Amid the music of the star-striped flags never falling, Song Jiaoren smiled and saw the US Vice President Charles Curtis walking towards him. He did something that shocked all Chinese people and all foreigners. He stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Vice President Curtis.

Since its founding, China has completely used the old etiquette. No matter who receives foreign guests or who comes, they always bow and never shake hands. The civil servant manual also stipulates this. However, Song Jiaoren shook hands with members of the US delegation in public for the first time, and was immediately amazed. Under the spotlight, Song Jiaoren, who held Vice President Curtis's hand tightly, smiled and left enough time for reporters to take photos. After the photos were taken, he shook hands with Secretary of Commerce Hoover and others one by one. Afterwards, he issued a brief welcome speech:

"Ladies and gentlemen: I am very pleased that Mr. Curtis, Mr. Hoover, and other gentlemen of the delegation visited China. I believe that this visit will enhance the understanding of the two governments and deepen the friendship between the two peoples..."

After a brief welcome speech, Vice President Curtis also expressed his gratitude, and then everyone took a short rest before taking a car to Beijing. The roads in Beijing and Tianjin were built very wide and flat, with more than 120 kilometers away from the car in less than two hours, while the train took four hours. Important members of the delegation took Huangqi foreign guest cars, while others took large buses.

"This Ford can be made, it must be cheaper than Chinese!" Henry Ford, who was sitting on the bus, touched the car inside. When the bus started, General Motors delegation leader Heskel was amazed, he muttered disdainfully.

"No, Mr. Ford. Ford cannot produce diesel engines..." In the General Motors delegation, Caitlin, head of the technical department of General Motors, objected. Although he didn't know what methods the Chinese used to reduce the noise of the diesel engine, he still found that the car used a diesel engine from the vibration of the vehicle body and the roar of the engine.

Caitlin's words of diesel engine immediately made the old stubborn Ford shut up. As we all know, the Chinese monopolize the global automotive diesel engine market, and then have an absolute advantage in large and medium-sized trucks, construction machinery and other high-power vehicles. There must be mines before the road to the mountain, and there must be Chinese cars. This is the best portrayal of Chinese cars.

"What a diesel engine..." Heskel, the head of the delegation, said in surprise after listening carefully. "But why is the sound so quiet?"

"Sir, they installed the diesel engine at the rear of the car body," technician Caitlin pondered the layout of the entire bus. "If the transmission is also at the rear of the car, the power transmission shaft at the bottom of the car should be cancelled..." Caitlin stared at the carpet floor and wanted to open it and see its internal structure. "In addition, the steering wheel should use an afterburner, otherwise the driver would not be able to operate the direction so flexibly."

All cars are engines, with gear shifters in front. They drive the rear wheels forward with the transmission shaft at the bottom of the vehicle. They don’t want the Chinese to rear the engine and variable devices. I think this should be the most effective way to reduce the noise of the diesel engine. Caitlin speculated the intention of the Chinese, and at the same time kept observing the status of the car while driving to judge the performance of the entire vehicle. Unfortunately, the Beijing-Tianjin Highway was built in the style of a later highway. He did not get any useful information along the way, except for toll stations at both ends of the highway.

Caitlyn got nothing, but Hoover on the Huangqi welcome car was very interested in the highway toll mode. He said to the Chinese official in the same car: "What a wonderful idea! How much does it cost per pass?"

"How much?!" Hu Ying, the Minister of Commerce, who was on the same car as Hoover, was a little embarrassed. In his opinion, the so-called compensation for landlords was actually a bad behavior of some people taking the lead in privately distributing national property. Before, Jinjing kilometers did not charge external fees, but once privatization was completed, the Zhili gentry who held shares in Beijing-Tianjin Highway soon obtained a set of ready-made operating specifications from the transportation department, and then installed a crossbar and started to sit and collect money. "Mr. Hoover, this is just the compensation method of the Chinese government for some landlords who have lost their arable landlords. When they collect their own money, the road will no longer charge."

"Yes. This is a matter of defending justice." Seeing Hu Ying's answer off topic, Hoover had to follow his meaning. Although he had no idea Hu Ying's attitude towards this matter at all. "But I am very curious about this toll model. I really want to know how much money it will cost each time. The investment cost of the highway can only come back. Can you tell me?"

Seeing that foreigners were indeed curious about the road toll mode, Hu Ying asked, "A car like us costs two cents per kilometer, and 120 kilometers is two yuan and four yuan. It is said that if one hundred cars can be passed every day, all costs, including interest, can be recovered in fifty years."

"Oh.... Fifty years? God!" Hoover thought this was a good way to drive a sluggish economy during an economic crisis, but the fifty-year investment return period was too long, but he turned to the idea that there were much more cars in the United States than in China, and that perhaps the investment cost could be recovered in the United States in thirty or twenty years.

The American delegation had different thoughts, but China was very sensational because Song Jiaoren shook hands with the delegation at Haihe Pier. The next day, when the photo of Song Jiaoren shook hands with Curtis, the gentry shook his head, shouting that the difference between the barbarians and the Chinese was not prevented. The more intense, they pointed to the newspaper photos and cursed, saying that Song Jiaoren must be a Westernized element like Cai Jimin, thinking of changing Xia with the barbarians.

When the news came to Yang Rui's ears a few days later, he just smiled at it. When he decided to push the Kuomintang up, in addition to the return of his support for the privatization policy of Revival, the other reason was that Yang Rui felt that Revival would be used to being strong with him outside the outside world. After the economic crisis and subsequent Washington Navy Treaty, it would be better for Song Jiaoren's Kuomintang to come forward. Because he is the soft side of China and the pro-Western side. If the Americans don't give him face, then the Chinese Prime Minister is not the President of the United States. The Academy of Scholars can let him step down at any time and then replace Du Yaquan, but at that time it was preparing for war.

Song Jiaoren performed Western rituals with the American delegation, which was a matter of course. As for those gentry who were uneasy or cursed about it, Yang Rui was happy to see his actions. This was just like more than 20 years ago, whether the revolutionary party could just look at his braids; but the current situation is: loyalty and unfaithfulness are greater than that of China, and those who can wear suits to perform Western rituals are all swinging elements, and vice versa.

In wars and political struggles, no matter how funny your proposition is, you have a clear stand and clear stand, distinguishing the enemy and me is the first priority to maintain the survival of your own group (you must be as different as possible from others so that the members' positions will not sway; at the same time, you must be as same as your own people so that the members can unite). The people of the whole country wear Western clothes. Whoever can distinguish who is who is who? During the Anti-Qing Revolution, cut their braids and disheveled their hair during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Later generations generally wear military casual clothes, but it is the best way to actually distinguish the enemy and us and draw boundaries. Only by distinguishing the enemy and us and drawing boundaries can the people's eyes be truly bright. This is actually the same as card positioning. Without positioning, there will be no market.

When Yang Rui scoffed at Song Jiaoren's handshake, Henry Ford of the delegation, Henry Ford of General Motors and Heskell of General Motors arrived on the Dalian car with official enthusiasm. Looking at the empty and tidy streets, all Americans looked at each other. What is this situation? In Detroit now, there are workers who cannot find jobs everywhere. Even after working hours, they are stranded outside the factory and do not leave.

"Mr. Factory Manager, has the factory stopped working?" Ford coughed and asked first.

"Of course not! Mr. Ford." Wei Ru, the factory chief, didn't understand why he didn't understand why Americans asked this.

"But why can't the workers be seen?" Henry Ford heard that the factory was still in operation, which made it even more strange. "Are the workers who were not selected by the foreman in the morning driven away?"

Wei only then realized why Americans were like this. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ford, we, or almost all Chinese factories, do not implement a temporary work system, and managers do not need to select the workers they need at the gate every morning. The Prime Minister has taught: Workers are the most important assets of the company. They are not toilet paper, and they can be discarded after using it."

"Oh..." Wei Rushi from Zhuji, Zhejiang, with a bachelor's degree in the mechanical department of Tongji University and a master's degree in business administration in the School of Economics and Management. His answer made Americans cry out loud. At this time, in the whole of the United States, except for managers, workers are on a daily basis. They go to the factory gate in the morning to wait for selection and receive their salary before going out after get off work in the afternoon. Chinese automobile factories do not do this, which shows that Chinese workers are already cheap and can be paid at all costs.

Americans are thinking about seeing countless workers in the workshop surrounding a car. But as soon as they got off the car, they were stunned by the entire factory area. A steel frame factory larger than Ford and General Motors stands in a park. If they hadn't seen workers in uniforms in the distance and some cars being transported, they would have thought they had come to the wrong place. In addition to greening, the untainted environment also puzzled the Americans. Is this really a car factory?

Wei Ru knew the surprise of the Americans, because every foreigner who came to visit the car factory had such a reaction, but he did not say it out loud. He pointed to the workshop not far away and said, "Gentlemen, there is the assembly workshop, we start from there."

"Of course." Henry Ford, who was proud to assemble a T-model car every ten seconds, walked quickly to the assembly workshop. He held the stopwatch in his hand and wanted to see how many hours the Chinese could complete the assembly line of a car. However, when he entered the extremely clean and tidy workshop, he immediately forgot about the timing that was not exactly similar to Ford's assembly line. One Audi was followed by four Volkswagens, followed by two Toyotas, and behind, there were still a long queue of cars mixed with arrangements...

"Impos private!Impos private!Impos private..." Henry Ford suddenly walked a few steps towards the assembly line, staring at the car on the assembly line in a daze. The pocket watch in his hand had long been put down by him, and the Mingshou was waving fiercely. He blushed with his face and repeated the "Impossible" loudly, then turned around and pointed to the assembly line behind him, looking at his follower like a helpless child, and then went to GM's Heskell. During the process of stopping the T-model car and switching to the A-model car, half of the more than 32,000 production equipment on the Ford factory production line was scrapped, and the other half was completely modified. Most of the fixture molds worth five million US dollars were discarded. Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is that Ford lost time and the original market was eroded by GM.
