Chapter Ninety-Six: The Debate Between Freedom and Democracy


Lianyungang, once the diplomatic center, although the current diplomatic center has been transferred to Shanghai, but in fact it is still a city with a strong international atmosphere. , many foreign affairs activities are still in Lianyungang.

Due to the special geographical location of Shanghai, the location of the material distribution center, the so-called commercial center, has not been replaced by other places for the time being.

Lianyungang has a centralized urban structure that is rare in the mainland, and a large part of the reason is the need to set up a relatively large security zone for diplomatic envoys.

At the same time, a large number of foreign refugees also need an adequate buffer.

Shanghai has too many secrets, even as a commercial center, not to mention the world's center of nuclear research.

So it's no longer a free and safe zone, but a city that's restricted from moving around at will, and it's stricter than Beijing.

If the largest security zone in China should be Beijing, but Beijing's service facilities are not so good, the Chinese cultural atmosphere is too heavy, most people who come to China to Beijing are more travelers, and it is not easy to live in Beijing.

Lianyungang is different, Lianyungang's Longhai line is the closest to Kulen and Pamir because it directly penetrates into the hinterland of China, and foreign institutions and merchants have the most contacts.

Although foreigners here do not have special privileges, foreign countries are allowed to open some service institutions here, and international taverns are the most common.

However, due to unique Chinese customs, these taverns were also forced to open buffet-style restaurants.

It's just that the scale is a little smaller, the ingredients are a little less, the architectural styles are different, and there are more foreign specialties.

Most of these taverns are built around the central square of the port, which has become a place with the most advertising.

Ad.

It used to be very common in China, but now it is almost impossible to see it in other places.

Many products in China have implemented standardized production, and processing plants at all levels are in accordance with a standard.

Although this standard will have some changes from year to year.

Even some foods with very complex ingredients, such as jam, wheat sauce, meat sauce, caviar, etc., which are considered difficult to unify by Westerners, are divided into several grades.

Each grade of ingredient has a different nutritional profile.

But it's all clearly marked.

All recipes are written on the packaging of the product.

Therefore, these goods are subject to strict sampling inspections by the price and commerce departments.

Chinese people are also very sensitive to these ingredients, and with a slight difference, their noses and tongues can recognize them.

The Chinese have widely used multiple processing techniques such as fermentation.

The toxicity of many poisonous ingredients disappears or decreases, and this also makes relatively simple Western food a low-grade food.

And this kind of recipe and process, which is worth a lot of money for the West, is actually public.

These Western restaurants near the town square rack their brains to create special flavors, but they keep their recipes and processes secret.

Trying to make a big buck, that's why Central Square advertises the most.

However, the effect is not good, and the crucial point is that the Chinese are not only after taste and flavor.

Or rather, the tastes are very different.

Satisfying physical needs is what people seek.

And everyone's physical needs are different, they will treat any product as just one ingredient, and they will inevitably add other things when they eat it.

Westerners have tried to break this situation by trying to create a certain flavor trend, and in the West, businessmen have a monopoly on propaganda tools and can use all kinds of propaganda to sell their products to the public.

Even if it is a lie, if it is told a thousand times, it will be mistaken by the common people for the truth. will take out the money in his pocket.

"Why don't you have a well-known brand in China?

Not a single big business, not a single billionaire?

Why don't you have Mobil in China.

Didn't have a generic for these private businesses?

Because you don't have democracy, you don't have freedom, you suppress the individual's pursuit of wealth, you suppress humanity. ” In the square, a young man from the United States is debating with a group of students.

"I wonder how do you think you can make the money you are talking about?"

"It's a science, it's called marketing, and it's the science of finding ways to make customers willing to pay for it.

In China, there are hundreds of millions of people, as long as you let every Chinese pay a dollar, you are a billionaire, and you can enjoy a life that others can't enjoy. ” "You're saying that deceiving or squeezing billions of people to satisfy your own greed is science in the eyes of Americans?"

"Yes, isn't it human nature to pursue happiness and profit.

We Americans have never suppressed humanity and have full freedom.

Don't you want to be a billionaire, you don't want to be rich?

” "You know that the emperor of China was once the billionaire you said, we overthrew the feudal dynasty and established the new China, you mean I should become an emperor?"

"We are against the emperor, but we believe that everyone has the right to pursue happiness."

"Then you think everyone can be an emperor?

In your theory, all people can take a dollar out of someone else's pocket, and all people can become billionaires?

Mathematically, this is a fallacy, because what you gain should be equal to what you lose.

So you can't be a billionaire. ” "Not everyone can take money out of other people's pockets, only the most intelligent people can do it."

"Then you think that the one who has wisdom will be able to get the money.

And the ignorant lose money?

” "Yes, that's the truth."

"I get it, which means that some people are able to take money out of other people's pockets, and some people can't."

"It can be understood that way."

"Then why do you say that everyone has the right to become a billionaire?"

"Yes, everybody has that right, but not everybody can be a billionaire."

"Is what you just said a deception to those of us?

Truth belongs only to billionaires, not to us civilians?

” "How can this be deception, if you don't work hard, you naturally can't become a billionaire.

If you want to be a billionaire, you have to work hard. ” "But in terms of mathematical probability, even with hard work, most people can't become billionaires, because the amount of money they get from other people's pockets will never be as much as the billionaires take out of their pockets.

Otherwise, the billionaire's wealth will not come from it. ” "Yes.

I admit it. ” "That's what you mean by freedom?

Is it you robbing me, I robbing you of your freedom?

If I have a lot of strength, I will grab more, and if you have less strength, I will grab less.

Is this freedom?

"A teenager walked up directly to the young American, punched him, took his wallet out of him and put it in his pocket.

"You have violated my human rights.

I protested.

"Young Americans raised their hands in protest.

"Yes, you have the freedom to protest, and I have the freedom to rob you.

Don't you believe in freedom?

You can't get your money back because you didn't work hard enough.

The boy laughed.

"It's not democratic.

We pursue freedom as well as democracy and respect for human rights. ” "What is democracy?"

"It is to have the right to vote, and the people should be allowed to vote, for example, you robbed my wallet just now, if you let the people vote, you should return it to me."

The young man laughed and pointed to the stage: "We vote now, let's vote on whether his wallet can belong to me."

Several teenagers laughed and raised their hands.

The American youth jumped: "It's not fair, I only have one person, and there are many of you." ” "Okay, that's the result, can we deprive you of your wallet if we have a large number of people?"

"No, it's not fair."

"It's not fair, but it's in line with what you call a democratic process.

That is, in your way, through voting, one part of the population can legally rob the other part of the population, even if this part is in the minority?

Is this what you call democracy?

” Young Americans are stammering.

The boy laughed, "Okay, now let's vote, number one, I can rob you of a hundred dollars."

Second, I was able to rob you of a thousand dollars.

Vote now and agree to rob you of a thousand dollars with a show of hand. ” Everyone laughed and raised their hands.

"Agree to rob you of a hundred dollars with a raised hand."

Everyone raised their hands again.

The young man spread his hands and smiled: "I'm sorry, whether it's fair or not, this is public opinion, we should respect public opinion, whether it's a thousand dollars or a hundred dollars, you're going to lose your wallet."

Besides, I have the right to pursue happiness, and you can't take it away from me.

Friends, let's go for happiness, are you interested in having a drink?

” The American teenager raised his hand and said, "Okay, I admit that I lost." ” The young man sneered, pointed to the billboard outside the surrounding restaurant and said, "Then you still think these advertisements are not deception?"

Why don't you publish the delicious recipe advertised, and do you still want to use the recipe to rob you?

Is this different from robbery with a gun?

Don't tell me about multi-millionaires, we just overthrew an emperor.

Overthrew a dynasty.

I don't want to create another one, even if that emperor is me. ” The debate in the square was mostly attended by students, who now stood up and applauded.

"A lie is a lie after all, and a robbery framed with democracy and freedom is still a robbery after all.

After thousands of years of history, the Chinese have experienced profound lessons.

What China pursues is the prosperity of the nation and the state, and the interests of individuals should be obtained only under the interests of the nation and the state.

So there should be restraint and sacrifice.

We know how to build and share better.

And not deception and robbery. ” The teenager summed up and prepared to leave.

Zhang Chun smiled and said in the crowd: "Young man, you said it beautifully, but a robbery framed with a debate is also a kind of robbery. ” Amid the laughter of the crowd, the boy threw his wallet back into the hands of the young American.
