Chapter 582 A Clever Cleverness Backfires!
Boom boom boom!
A sudden, urgent knocking sound came from the door.
Dong Baiyu, who was zooming in on the photos and examining the dock closely, was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Shortly after the May Day holiday, he received a mission to spy on the Tianhai Shipyard in China to find out which warships were being built.
To this end, he hired different people, at different times, to go to different places and take a large number of photos in various ways.
Just as he was carefully examining the photos, trying to figure out whether the shipyard was building frigates, destroyers, supply ships, or aircraft carriers, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door. Feeling guilty, he was naturally quite frightened.
"Who?"
"I!"
Xia Xiujun's voice came from behind the door.
Instead of closing the image viewer, Dong Baiyu unplugged the USB drive and put it in his pocket.
These photos, which involve military secrets, are not only hard-won, but will also become evidence of crimes if caught.
Moreover, because the Sakura Special Higher Police didn't provide much funding for intelligence, he even had to pay out of his own pocket to show his loyalty.
So of course he treated the USB drive like a treasure and quickly put it away.
"Come in!"
Picking up his teacup, Dong Baiyu quickly took a sip to calm his nerves.
The door remained unmoved, and after two knocks, Xia Xiujun's voice came again.
"Hey, you locked the door from the inside, I can't open it!"
"Wait a moment!"
Dong Baiyu put down his teacup, got up and went to the door in a bad mood.
Unlocking the door, he immediately asked with a cold face:
"What major incident has occurred? Why are you in such a hurry? Has our application to promote the vigorous development of the entertainment industry been rejected?"
Dong Baiyu asked this question because he had meticulously planned and produced three programs from January to May this year, but the results were all unsatisfactory.
At the beginning of the year, CCTV produced a special program to review the major events that occurred in China in 2003.
The science and technology section highlighted the successful maiden flight of China's first large passenger aircraft and the successful completion of China's first manned spaceflight.
These two major events greatly boosted morale and enhanced the national pride and self-esteem of the Chinese people.
Dong Baiyu quickly put together a program reporting on the successful landing of the US unmanned probe on Mars, and the plan to organize another manned lunar landing in 2015, and to build a lunar research base by 2020.
He originally intended to use this program to dampen the spirits of the Chinese people, making them realize that China's high technology was still far behind the world's advanced level. However, he did not expect that the program would inspire the Chinese people instead.
China's Chang'e lunar exploration program was officially launched, with a three-step overall plan of "orbiting, landing, and returning". The plan was to launch the first lunar probe in 2006, conduct lunar orbit exploration before 2009, and launch a probe and return samples in 2012.
Furthermore, China has proposed the Tiangong manned space station project, which will develop a core module, experimental modules, manned spacecraft, cargo spacecraft, and new launch vehicles. The project is planned to be completed in three phases over ten years.
The first program failed to suppress the Chinese people's aerospace dreams; instead, it had the opposite effect.
Unwilling to give up, Dong Baiyu took advantage of the smog outbreaks in many places and the serious industrial pollution to produce a program called "The Heavy Cost of Economic Growth".
His original intention was to let people know that behind China's rapid economic growth lies ecological pollution, overexploitation of mineral resources, and the sacrifice of lives and health of the general public.
Even if this development model, which is so reckless as to risk 'extinction of future generations,' achieves impressive economic growth and creates remarkable economic achievements, there is nothing to be proud of.
result……
Dong Baiyu's meticulously crafted second program once again backfired.
China has put forward the concept of "people-oriented and scientific development," emphasizing green and sustainable development. It has implemented macro-control with greater力度, shutting down a large number of small mines and factories, rectifying pollution emissions, developing new energy industries, and vigorously returning farmland to forests and grasslands.
The two consecutive programs not only failed to dampen the development spirit of the Chinese people, but also indirectly shaped public opinion, allowing the people to reach a consensus and accelerate the pace of development.
Land Rover, which claims to be the number one domestic luxury brand in China, announced in March that it would officially enter the European and American markets, with the first batch of ten flagship stores to be fully operational in the first half of the year.
Seeing countless people cheering and jumping for joy, feeling that Land Rover is the pride of the nation and the pride of domestic automobiles, and that its successful entry into the European and American markets indicates that China will become a powerhouse in the new energy vehicle industry.
This news really spurred Dong Baiyu on.
This time, he racked his brains and put all his ideas into creating a program called "A Review of the World's Leading Automotive Industries".
In this program, he arranged for people to collect a large amount of information and provide a detailed analysis of how major automotive powerhouses and internationally renowned brands developed step by step.
The article also devoted considerable space to explaining that the world today is still dominated by gasoline-powered cars, and that even if new energy sources are to be developed, the hydrogen energy developed by Sakura Motors is more environmentally friendly and has a brighter future.
Of course, he didn't forget to educate people about the amazing sales figures that Sakura's car companies have achieved globally, subtly implying that Land Rover is just starting out overseas and can't compare to the powerful Sakura car companies at all.
Land Rover vehicles, in particular, boast a more stylish exterior and interior, more advanced technology, a better driving experience, and superior safety performance. However, they are too expensive overseas due to the lack of tax breaks and subsidies.
In contrast, the gasoline-powered cars produced by Sakura Motors are already world-renowned for their durability, fuel efficiency, and affordability. They are also cheaper to buy and use, and their after-sales service system is already very mature.
Dong Baiyu wanted to let the Chinese people know that Land Rover's foray into overseas markets is nothing to be proud of or celebrate, and that Chinese new energy vehicle companies are still struggling to survive in the face of the obvious advantages of major gasoline-powered car brands.
Unsurprisingly.
This third program, once again, had the opposite effect.
Land Rover has successfully entered the market and opened 4S stores in major international cities. Regardless of its overseas sales, its brand awareness in China has increased significantly.
In addition, during last year's National Day holiday, at the Tianhai International Auto Show, Land Rover launched two new, more affordable 7 and 8 series models, along with the T series of rugged off-road vehicles.
With a wider range of products and a broader price range, middle-class consumers who couldn't afford the 9 Series before can now place orders, naturally leading to another sales boom for Land Rover.
Moreover, compared to Land Rover, other domestically produced new energy vehicles that are more affordable and accessible have also gained popularity. In addition, with benefits such as purchase tax reduction and car replacement subsidies, many people have placed orders to buy them.
This left Dong Baiyu completely dumbfounded.
He wanted to dampen the enthusiasm of China's new energy vehicle industry, to let people know that gasoline-powered cars are the mainstream today, and that Japan's hydrogen energy represents the true future of new energy vehicles.
As a result, after the program aired, many people felt that domestic new energy vehicles were good, that they were better looking and more upscale, and that they could even be sold in Europe and the United States. Now that there are subsidies and discounts for buying a car, what are you still hesitating for?
As a result, sales of joint venture and imported cars in China continued to decline in March and April. The car that suffered the most severe decline was the Sakura car, which he was promoting with his own biases. People said that it was fuel-efficient because the car was light and thin and could not withstand collisions.
The three programs in a row failed to achieve the desired effect, but instead promoted the development and progress of the Dragon Kingdom.
To avoid being discovered as biased and constantly trying to discredit and smear China, Dong Baiyu proceeded with extreme caution when planning his fourth program.
After discussing it with Watanabe Kameyuki, the two decided to stop mocking, criticizing, and belittling the shortcomings of China, so as to avoid stimulating the Chinese people to make progress.
The two decided to carry out ideological infiltration!
They decided to draw on the already mature experiences of Sakura and Nanhan, and advocate in Dragon Kingdom that the entertainment industry should be completely opened up, producing a large number of talent shows and variety shows, and cultivating a star idol culture.
This has led countless young people in China to become obsessed with gossip and entertainment, to become materialistic and vain, to be obsessed with chasing celebrities, and even to want to become celebrities themselves. Their ideals are no longer to be scientists, engineers, doctors, soldiers, etc.
Once the entertainment industry flourishes, people can easily become addicted to cheap entertainment, gradually lose their fighting spirit, and their ability to think, judge, and control themselves will decline. They can also easily develop the habit of overspending.
When more and more young people, even teenagers, in China only think about becoming stars and making big money, or are addicted to watching entertainment programs and playing video games, living a life of 'entertainment to the death,' China will not be so easy to become prosperous and strong.
but……
The idea is great, but whether the program can be produced depends on the approval results from higher authorities.
"Oh dear, it's not that the program application was rejected, it's that Liu Xiang, an athlete from Tianhai City, won the championship in the IAAF Grand Prix 110m hurdles competition held in Sakura Tatsuka! The champion!!"
"This is not only his best individual record in competitions, but also the first time he has defeated many world-class athletes. I believe that he is very likely to win a medal for our country at the Greek Olympics this August!"
Seeing Xia Xiujun's excited expression, Dong Baiyu couldn't help but frown.
"Hmph, so what if he won the 110-meter hurdles? What's so great about that?"
Xia Xiujun exclaimed, "What's so great about it? Brother Yu, do you know what you're saying?"
"This is the championship! The 110-meter hurdles championship! It used to be a sport dominated by white and black people, and Asians had never won it."
"Now, our Dragon Country's sprint star Liu Xiang has defeated white and black people for the first time in an international competition to win the championship. Isn't that a remarkable achievement?"
Dong Baiyu chuckled softly.
He turned around, sat back down at his desk, picked up his teacup, and took another sip.
"You banged on the door so hard just to tell me this?"
Of course!
Xia Xiujun rushed to the desk and said excitedly:
“I checked Liu Xiang’s competition record. Last March, he won third place in the men’s 60-meter hurdles at the International Indoor Athletics Championships held in England, breaking our Asia-Pacific indoor record.”
"Last August, he won a bronze medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the World Athletics Championships in Bari, which was also the first medal for a Chinese male track and field athlete in a track event at the World Championships..."
"Just say what you want to say!"
Dong Baiyu put down his teacup and asked somewhat impatiently.
He was also busy examining photos of the Tianhai Shipyard to determine how many warships the Chinese Navy would build this year.
Entering 2004, China not only accelerated its military reforms, but also significantly sped up the development of new weapons and equipment.
From the army's new tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and long-range rocket artillery, to the air force's new fighter jets, transport aircraft, and early warning aircraft, to the rocket force's various new missiles, and the navy's various new warships...
In the past, China's defense industry had to endure hardship in order to develop the national economy. Now that it has sufficient funding, the tragedy of "making missiles is not as profitable as selling tea eggs" will never happen again.
Once the military strength of the Dragon Kingdom increases significantly, the Sakura Kingdom, with which it once had a blood feud, will inevitably face a serious crisis.
So even without receiving a mission to steal secrets, Dong Baiyu was eager to find out as soon as possible whether China was building warships at a frenzy and whether a large number of warships would be put into service in the next few years, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
