Chapter 401: It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words [Request full order]
Taro Ono didn't expect Wang Haoran to speak so bluntly.
The other party spoke out everything that was in his mind.
"Haha! Mr. Wang, please don't think too much. I think you must be overthinking."
"We sincerely hope to maintain our friendship with you."
“We would never have that thought.”
Wang Haoran gave Ono Taro a meaningful look and said with a smile, "I can think of whatever you are thinking."
"You should also know that the reason why the Giant Eagle can still let you live a comfortable life is not because of anything else, but because of the existence of us and the Giant Bear!"
"The Giant Eagle needs to use you to fight. You are just their tools, so you still have value now!"
"But, Mr. Ono, you should be able to feel it, right? The current situation is actually a situation where the east rises and the west falls."
"The rise of the East and the decline of the West is an inevitable trend."
"I think you agree with this."
"If the Giant Eagle continues to decline, then they will absolutely not be able to maintain their global hegemony."
"If they can't maintain their global hegemony, they will start to shrink."
"That would certainly mean giving up many occupied territories around the world."
"Aren't you one of their occupied areas?"
"If they have a major retreat in the near future."
"What do you think they will do before they retreat?"
Wang Haoran gives a thorough and easy-to-understand analysis.
When Ono Taro heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In fact, people in Jiaoben are also considering this issue.
This problem is very realistic.
Besides, it's getting a bit imminent.
The giant baby is in decline, and anyone can see that.
The decline of the giant eagle was a conclusion drawn by the world through comparison with the giant dragon.
A hegemon must have overwhelming strength.
When you are unable to crush the world's second best, you will definitely feel that your throne of dominance is threatened.
This is also the main reason why in the previous life, the foot basin killed the foot basin whose GDP was close to its own.
Foot basins really took off in the 70s.
The giant eagle felt extremely threatened.
But at that time, the bear was still watching closely, and the eagle needed a basin with strong economic and industrial capabilities to stand in front and fight against the giant bear.
Therefore, even if the foot basin threatened them, it would only be a warning and some covert means to restrain them slightly.
On the surface, the eagle is still very respectful to the foot basin.
However, by the late 80s, when the giant bear had completely sunk, the eagle's attitude towards the foot basin was completely different.
At that time, the Eagle almost killed the Foot Basin, turning it back to its original form in an instant, resulting in the lost thirty years.
Jiaoben was completely beaten into a dog slave and no longer dared to have any ambitions.
In the 90s, in the world after the demise of the giant bear, the giant eagle was an absolutely crushing existence.
There is no one in the world who can threaten it.
The Giant Eagle has truly become a unique overlord.
It took them nearly a hundred years of hard work to achieve their goal of dominating the world.
Because Giant Eagle had the world's top industrial capacity in 1894.
After becoming the world's number one in industrial strength, it took it another 50 years to kick Britain off the throne of hegemony.
However, a giant bear suddenly appeared, and its strength was very close to its own.
It simply cannot enjoy the feeling of being a true world overlord.
In the previous life, the giant bear fought with it for 70 years, and both sides had won and lost.
It was not until the early 90s that the giant bear exploded and fell down, and the eagle truly became the king of the world!
It also became the world's first hegemon in the true sense.
However, after it sat on the throne, it began to do all kinds of outrageous things, allowing financial tycoons to wreak havoc in the country, allowing the capital giants to make a fortune, while the domestic people's income has stagnated for decades.
It felt that it could rule the world for generations by relying on the order system it had established, so it safely transferred almost all of its industries and engaged in light asset operations.
In fact, this is because the financial tycoons are unwilling to make small profits, thinking that it is too slow, and they want to use financial means to run real industries.
The result is serious deindustrialization.
The Giant Eagle industry is seriously hollowed out and can only rely on its financial and hegemonic advantages to command the world.
In this case, if there is no challenger, it doesn't really matter.
However, as luck would have it, the giant dragon of the previous life suddenly appeared and developed quietly. It took only more than ten years to achieve major breakthroughs in advanced science and technology and became the most powerful industrial country in the world.
A challenger has emerged, and he's threatening.
The Giant Eagle was also in a panic. The third generation Eagle King used various means, including G2, sweater war, and various threats.
But, after seven or eight years, it's all useless.
By the time Wang Haoran traveled through time and was reborn, the Giant Eagle had basically run out of tricks and had no other means left.
After Wang Haoran traveled through time and space and was reborn into this time and space, the dragon also achieved the greatest development.
As mentioned before, the industrial foundation laid by the Julong family in the first thirty years of this dynasty was quite solid, and the industrial base was already very strong.
The main reason why Julong's industry lagged far behind Xifang in 1977 was actually because of its backward industrial model. It had no automated production lines and its production equipment was relatively old and backward. Xifang already had CNC machine tools, but Julong's industry was still using traditional old-fashioned machine tools.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for productivity to explode.
After Wang Haoran traveled through time and space and was reborn, his greatest contribution was actually that he had figured out the advanced chip production industry chain.
With advanced chips, we can empower industrial production and start building efficient production lines.
This is also the beginning of the rise of the dragon.
It is precisely because the dragon achieved premature take-off that the giant eagle, the strongest existence today, began to decline relatively.
Little by little, Julong is rapidly taking the lead in the chip industry, computer industry, communications industry, aerospace industry, electromechanical industry, and automobile industry.
They even achieved their goal of crushing the Giant Eagle in a military confrontation.
This made the giant eagle realize that it had lost the initiative in the fight for supremacy.
If it continues to struggle to maintain its global military power, it will become increasingly uncomfortable.
Now, the Giant Eagle's retreat is a high probability event.
The dragon saw this very clearly, and the giant eagle knew it too.
The foot basin actually knows it well: its master is not doing well.
However, the giant eagle was unwilling to accept this reality.
The foot basin is now a little overwhelmed.
What choice do you want the foot basin to make now?
That is actually very unrealistic.
The foot basin is now quite comfortable in the Eagle system.
How could it possibly voluntarily withdraw from this system?
They will not leave the system! They just want to stay in the system and earn more benefits.
Of course, if they can gain a lot of benefits by saying a few good words about the dragon, then they will not be stingy in saying a few good words.
The foot basin has always been very crazy.
They arrogantly believe that they are superior to all other countries in Yazhou.
They put forward the idea of leaving Yakutna and joining Europe very early on.
They hope that they can continue to be the Giant Eagle's agent in Yazhou and control the entire Yazhou.
They were ambitious and dreamed that if they could become the boss of Yazhou, they would be able to gradually compete with the Giant Eagle.
However, with the rise of the dragon, their dream of becoming the boss of Yazhou has become increasingly unlikely to become a reality.
But I won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River, and I won’t turn back until I hit the wall.
They will continue to resort to all sorts of schemes and tricks, hoping to gradually reverse the current downward trend they are facing through some small tricks.
They also fantasized that they could obtain the dragon's technological secrets through theft and industrial espionage and achieve their own counterattack.
For this reason, Taro Ono didn't listen to what Wang Haoran said at all.
Ono Taro smiled and said to Wang Haoran: "Mr. Wang, you are right."
"We have actually been working hard to unite the knowledgeable people in Dongya and work together to make Dongya truly the center of the world."
"I came here mainly to learn from you."
"I wonder if you could share your smartphone technology so that we can also produce smartphones under our Fujitsu brand?"
"Of course, if technology cannot be shared, we can also purchase your key chips to produce lower-end smartphones. In this way, we can occupy the entire world's smartphone market together."
When he said this, his face was full of sincerity.
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "There is no problem with cooperation."
“It’s not impossible to share technology.”
"But you have to show your sincerity."
Ono Taro blinked and said, "I don't know. What kind of sincerity do you want us to show?"
Wang Haoran said: “Go and convince your politicians to learn to say no to the giant eagle.”
"Yes! We also hope to establish the Yazhou Economic Community and call on the entire Yazhou to form a large free trade market."
"I tell you all this because I sincerely hope that you can get rid of the Giant Eagle's exploitation and control over you as soon as possible and drive out the forces that do not belong to Yazhou."
"I know this is something that really tests your courage. It also tests your vision and judgment of the future."
After Wang Haoran finished speaking, he looked at Ono Taro, waiting for his answer.
Ono Taro rubbed his nose.
The other party wants to make the foot basin choose sides!
He hoped that the basin would come out of the Giant Eagle's system immediately.
Taro Ono was dismissive of this.
He thought to himself, do you really think we are stupid?
Now, we mainly rely on the Giant Eagle market to make money.
If we abandon the Giant Eagle market, our huge productivity will suffer a severe setback.
If you, the dragon, are willing to become a market for our products, then that is not impossible to discuss.
But, will you give us your market?
Besides, if we build the Yazhou Market together with you, isn’t that equivalent to being integrated by you?
Wouldn't our future role be just a supporting role?
We have been strong for nearly a hundred years. We are more advanced than you. How could we possibly help you?
Besides, there is an old grudge between us. If we help you defeat the giant eagle in the future, we don’t know what the consequences will be.
In short, Taro Ono has the same idea as many other elites: he still looks down on the dragon in his heart and feels that he is still superior to the dragon.
They want to dominate Dongya and fantasize about establishing their Greater Dongya Co-Prosperity Sphere.
As I said: life is a very cheap thing.
They believe in the law of the jungle.
They firmly believe that the strong are king.
They still believe that white people are still very powerful and will continue to rule the world.
If that’s the case, then why should I quit the ranks of the strong and join your ranks of the weak?
Giant Eagle held a Li Mei barbecue feast and presented a pair of fat men and a little boy with such national gifts as foot basins. The Japanese basically prostrated themselves on the ground and couldn't get up.
Taro Ono stuttered a little: "Mr. Wang, well, I'm just a businessman."
“I don’t have that much influence.”
"There is no way our elites will listen to me."
"But even so, I still think that what you said makes a lot of sense. I will try to convey your words to our Prime Minister."
Wang Haoran smiled, he knew what the other person was really thinking.
I still have fantasies about foot basin.
It probably also thought that the giant eagle could climb up from the trough again through some actions.
Just like in the early 70s, Giant Eagle fell into a trough due to the heavy losses suffered in the Yuenan War, and even the credibility of Green Paper was about to be lost.
At that time, many people said that the giant baby was about to die.
However, the Giant Eagle finally climbed out of the trough miraculously through a set of combination punches and became the strongest in the world again.
The people of Jiaoben are already a bit superstitious about the giant eagle.
Wang Haoran smiled faintly and said, "It can be seen that you have no sincerity."
"You might even think that what I said is a little ridiculous."
"You probably think that the Giant Eagles did encounter some problems today, but they have great potential to turn the tide again!"
"But, based on the principle of doing what's best for you, let me help you analyze it."
"The reason Giant Eagle was able to climb out of the trough last time was mainly because they did have the advantage of being technologically advanced."
“They can attract more advanced talent.”
"And talents have helped them achieve breakthroughs in almost all aspects of human science and technology!"
"They have great resources and are good at forming cliques. In addition, they used a moon landing scam to convince the whole world that they still have confidence in them."
"As a result, they quickly recovered their strength, supported by their confidence."
"But now, the situation is different!"
"First, they have lost their technological lead!"
"Secondly, they have begun to lag behind in all aspects of the military industry."
"Third, their industrial strength is rapidly declining, while our industry has become the strongest in the world!"
“Fourth, after they lose their technological and industrial advantages, their green paper will also lose its international currency status in the near future.”
"Mr. Ono, what do you think are the chances of them turning things around in this situation?"
"Of course, maybe you still have the inertia of thinking."
"Then we can only wish you good luck!"
It is difficult to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. If he continues to be stubborn, then there is nothing to worry about.
Wang Haoran only wanted to undermine Ono Taro's confidence when he met him. (End of this chapter)
