Chapter 155 [The Rise of a Great Power] Popular in Universities Nationwide (asking for monthly tickets)
Li Changhe did not think that it was all Kou Kuige's credit that he was able to gain merit with the help of the manuscript "On the Economic Center of Annan".

He just proposed this idea at that time, and the final work was done by Kou Kuige and others.

Even the fact that it was submitted to the military's internal publications was because Kou Kuige used his military system channels, not Li Changhe's channels.

It was also in the internal military publications that it was perhaps seen by high-level decision-makers, and then there were follow-up actions.

So although Kou Kuige felt a little embarrassed about this matter, Li Changhe really didn't care.

Li Changhe’s goal this year is to develop “The Rise of a Great Power”.

In the second half of last year, inspired by the May Fourth Literary Society of Peking University, students from the Department of Political Science and Economics also started their own magazine, Xueyou.

At that time, Li Changhe arranged the idea of ​​"The Rise of Great Powers" in "Xue You".

The "Rise of Great Powers" he conceived is completely different from the documentaries shot by CCTV in the past. Compared with the historical attributes of CCTV documentaries, Li Changhe wants to show the process of capital accumulation of these countries through economic data.

The reason why he put this idea in "Jacky Leslie Cheung" is not because he could not complete it alone.

Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to get more students involved, and through the creation of the "Rise of Great Powers" series, to have a more objective understanding of the West.

He even wanted to make the "Rise of Great Powers" series into a reading material that would be passed down from generation to generation at Peking University, allowing Peking University students to open their eyes to the world.

Therefore, Li Changhe did not hold any position in Jacky Cheung magazine, but Jacky Cheung set up a special column on the rise of great powers, and Li Changhe served as the chief editor.

All students who attempt to write series such as "The Rise of Great Powers" will have their manuscripts submitted to Li Changhe for review.

So far, many students have written a first draft and submitted it to Li Changhe, but none of them have been approved.

Although they are in the economics department and have certain economic data support, their writing is relatively shallow and does not form a logical chain.

"Changhe, you have too high requirements for the column "The Rise of Great Powers". Most importantly, many students are also writing this kind of manuscript for the first time. They have told me privately that they can't find the theme you want."

"It's not like they gave up, but they did feel like they had no idea where to start."

At this time, Lao Tao spoke tactfully to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded: "I have considered that too."

"Well, I'll write one myself these days and give it to everyone as a reference."

Last year, Li Changhe focused his main energy on the meeting with Bao Yugang and the subsequent layout of silver futures.

He was not in a hurry to start writing "The Rise of Great Powers", but in his spare time, he would look up a lot of information in the library.

In fact, if we really want to say which country the library has the most information on, it is still the Soviet Union.

After all, as an early big brother, in addition to industrial and economic assistance, various books and works from the Soviet Union were also introduced into the country on a large scale. A large number of documents were translated and became best-selling books at the time.

During this period, he had read enough information and Li Changhe planned to start writing.

It’s a good opportunity to teach Liu Wei and others how to write this kind of data magazine article.

This writing style was the first time that Li Changhe tried, as he saw it was a style that a current affairs blogger named Lu Kewen was good at in his previous life.

Li Changhe did not want to comment on his views and content output, but Li Changhe felt that his writing style of seeing the big picture from the small was very unique.

At least when reading, it is easy to put yourself into the content and slowly reveal the data, thus avoiding the boredom of complicated piles of data.

Li Changhe intends to learn from this writing style.

After school started, Li Changhe immersed himself in the library. In addition to the Peking University Library, he would also go to the National Library in Beijing to look up information in his spare time.

After more than a week, the Soviet Union's first "Heart of Iron" was finally completed.

When Li Changhe returned to the dormitory, several people in the dormitory were discussing the war situation in the south.

After all, there is new news published in newspapers almost every now and then.

"Changhe, you're back?"

Seeing Li Changhe come in, Lao Tao and the others greeted him with a smile.

These days they all know that Li Changhe is writing "The Rise of Great Powers".

"How's it going? Finished?"

Seeing Li Changhe holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand, Tao Haisu asked in surprise.

"Well, I think I have finished the first part. There are too many Soviet factors, so I plan to write it in several parts."

"Come, let me take a look!"

At this time, Lao Tao curiously took the manuscript from Li Changhe and prepared to be the first to read it.

"Lao Tao, let's go together!"

"Correct!"

Yi Gang and He Xiaofeng also came over, squeezed Lao Tao in the middle, and then stretched their heads to read with Tao Haisu.

"In 1900, when the ambitions of the Tsarist Russia spread from the Far East to the north of China, a little boy from a Jewish merchant family was born on a small farm in the suburbs of Kirov, Kaluga Province, the heart of the Tsarist Russia. No one could have imagined that years later, he would single-handedly transform this huge barbaric empire."

After reading the first paragraph written by Li Changhe, Tao Haisu, Yi Gang and others were deeply attracted.

Then, the three of them read on carefully. They originally thought that Li Changhe would be writing about some great figure in history, but when they read to the end, they found that it was not entirely true.

Of course, the other party was also a figure, but not the kind that would go down in history. On the contrary, he sounded insignificant.

However, he single-handedly leveraged the industrial aid programs of the Soviet Union and Europe and the United States, and then enabled the newly born Soviet Union to transform from a backward agricultural country into a powerful industrial country.

During this period, Li Changhe used various data and documents to support the logic of the characters, which made them not feel boring at all.

The first manuscript had more than 15,000 words, but Lao Tao and his colleagues sat there and read it all in one breath.

“Well, it’s very well written!”

“Most importantly, through Ruchkov’s perspective, we can see the change in the direction of the entire national industry.”

"Changhe, if the book you're talking about, The Rise of Great Powers, is all articles like this, I think it will be very exciting."

At this time, Lao Tao said to Li Changhe excitedly.

"I know how to write it, Changhe, wait, I will give you a German one soon"

"I understand too. I feel like I have a direction for the Japan chapter."

"Staple the manuscript. I'll show it to Liu Wei and the others so they can learn from it."

Lao Tao said excitedly at this time.

"Don't lose it to me"

“I don’t want to write a second one.”

Li Changhe rubbed his sore wrist and said with emotion.

"Don't worry, you won't lose it."

Lao Tao responded loudly to Li Changhe.

Then in the following days, Li Changhe's manuscript was circulated among all students in the Department of Political Science and Economics of Peking University.

After reading this, many people suddenly had an epiphany and realized that economic documents can be written in this way.

In the end, the manuscript even reached the hands of lecturers such as Li Yining.

"He is worthy of being a novelist. Even boring analysis of economic data can be made interesting." It is said that this was the evaluation given by Mr. Dai to Li Changhe's manuscript after reading it.

As word of Mr. Dai's evaluation spread, more and more people in the entire Economics Department wanted to see the manuscript.

A manuscript alone would certainly not be able to spread widely.

Wang Jian, who was in charge of Xueyou magazine, decided to publish the first issue of Xueyou magazine in advance.

According to the plan they had set before, each issue of "Jacky Cheung" would not be published until a certain number of manuscripts were included.

But now, the number of manuscripts is not enough, and it just so happens that the column "The Rise of Great Powers" has not been published before.

Wang Jian simply decided to list the column "The Rise of Great Powers" in this issue.

In addition, Li Changhe's manuscript itself has many words, which is enough.

In order to make Li Changhe's article perfect, Li Shaomin, who was responsible for the art design, specially found maps of Tsarist Russia and drew several maps for Li Changhe's text according to the pictures in the book. This way, it was clearer and more straightforward.

And just like that, in mid-March, the first issue of Jacky Cheung magazine of the year was published.

Although this magazine is made very simply and is not as exquisite as those magazines on the market, some of the mimeographed parts are also blurry.

However, as soon as it was published, it attracted the attention of many students in the Economics Department. Even some students who had read Li Changhe's manuscripts paid for a copy.

So, another week passed, and Li Changhe was playing basketball with Haiwen and others on the basketball court.

"Changhe, good news, good news!"

On the basketball court, as soon as Li Changhe finished playing basketball, Wang Jian hurried over.

"What's wrong? Lao Wang?"

Li Changhe wiped the sweat from his head and asked Wang Jian.

"Our Jacky Cheung is a big hit."

"I know, it was very popular before, many of my classmates bought it!"

Li Changhe said indifferently.

"No, no, it's my fault for not explaining it clearly!"

"Changhe is not famous in our school, but he is famous beyond the school."

"Some of our students sent our magazine Xueyou to Tsinghua University, Renmin University, and even to Nankai University, Xiamen University, and Wuhan University."

"Many economics student unions from various schools have sent telegrams to us, asking us to purchase magazines and ship them to them."

"Total, that's more than 2,000 copies!"

"So many? Are there so many students buying it?"

Li Changhe was a little surprised. Even if several schools purchased it, there wouldn't be many students in the Economics Department.

"It's not just the economics department. Many students from other departments are also interested. As for the money, they have already remitted it in advance."

"But the problem now is that with so many copies, it would be difficult for us to handle it!"

Wang Jian felt helpless when he said this.

Their magazine is mimeographed using a manual mimeograph machine, so it would be fine if the copies were small, but now there are so many copies.

"We can't do this, so let's go find the teachers in the department. The department has its own mimeographing equipment for textbooks. Both the layout and speed are much better than our own small manual workshop."

"Go find Teacher Dong and ask him to report this to the department."

"It's our honor to have the magazine published!"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jian slapped his thigh.

"Yeah, I forgot. This isn't just our business anymore."

"Also, Lao Wang, when you go there, please give us some feedback and ask the school or department to allocate an office for us."

"With such a small space in the dormitory, it's OK to use it as a workshop, but it's definitely not possible to expand it. Even if it's just a small room, it will be of great use to us."

"Besides, we will probably have to recruit more people. If we can't recruit from the 77th grade, you can recruit from the 78th grade and let the department student union come forward."

"Now that we have made a good start, let's continue to work hard!"

Li Changhe said to Wang Jian seriously.

Wang Jian nodded: "I understand, I will go find Teacher Dong right away!"

Seeing Wang Jian leave, Li Changhe nodded.

What a good executor! He likes people like Wang Jian who are in charge the most.

Afterwards, Li Changhe sat down on the side of the court again, took out his cup and drank some water.

There was no bottled mineral water in those days, so when Li Changhe and his friends came to play basketball, they would bring a thermos, put it in the corner, and then drink water from their cups.

Originally, he just wanted to establish some awareness among the students of the Class of 77 of the Economics Department of Peking University. Unexpectedly, a magazine that he had tinkered with would become popular in all major universities.

This was beyond Li Changhe's expectations, but it was also a coincidence that the spread from Peking University's Class of 77 to students in Classes 77.78 and in major universities was more in line with Li Changhe's original intention.

It seems that I have to finish the second article as soon as possible.

After receiving guidance from Li Changhe, Wang Jian decisively went to find Teacher Dong in the department.

After learning that "Jacky Leslie Cheung" had caused such a sensation, Teacher Dong was not vague and quickly gave feedback to the department.

Then the department applied to the school, and just like the literary club, they arranged a classroom for "Xueyou" in the library.

At the same time, the department also took over the printing task and began to print these magazines in batches.

With the new office, Wang Jian and his colleagues' work efficiency has greatly increased.

Of course, their main task now is to ship goods to other schools.

For some places that are close by, such as Tsinghua University, we will just deliver the orders by bicycle according to the quantity ordered.

Some also have to be calculated and sent out via the post.

Li Changhe's bicycle now played a big role and it was no longer his own bicycle.

Every day I ride either this or that.

Li Changhe simply threw the keys to them and walked home on Wednesday night.

There is another bicycle at home, which is Zhu Lin's. It was originally ridden by Li Xiaojun.

However, Li Xiaojun later became annoyed that his classmates kept borrowing his bike, and was afraid that Li Changhe would lose it, so he rarely rode it.

This happened to come in handy, and Li Changhe rode Zhu Lin's ladies' bike to school again.

Anyway, he doesn't care whether it's women's or not, he just rides it.

And it was on such days that, thousands of miles away on the other side of the ocean, the silver futures that Li Changhe had been waiting for for a long time finally experienced fluctuations.

　Thanks to the big guys like ZsouSearch, Mo Shui, Yibangre, Wushen Zhaoyun, and 59687 for their rewards. I bow my head in gratitude!
