  On May 24th, the 2023 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit was held in Beijing with the theme of "Strengthening Confidence, Win-Win Cooperation and Building an Open World Economy". Representatives of trade promotion agencies and business associations from more than 30 countries and regions, diplomatic envoys in China, representatives of relevant international organizations and economic institutions, and representatives of Chinese and foreign enterprises attended the meeting. Participants said that it is the aspiration of the people to build an open world economy, and open global trade benefits all countries.

  Economic decoupling brings extra burden.

  According to the estimation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the total volume of international trade will only increase by 2.7% in 2022, which is significantly lower than that in 2021, and it is expected to slow down further in 2023, with an estimated growth rate of 1.7%.

  Rousseff, president of the New Development Bank, said that after World War II, the internationalization of trade, finance and information flow promoted the process of globalization. Since 2008, this process has been in crisis. Under the influence of geopolitical conflict and COVID-19 epidemic, global uncertainty and instability are more prominent.

  "Some countries pursue unilateralism and protectionism and try to adopt the so-called decoupling policy ‘ Contain ’ China, this practice is the main threat to the current globalization pattern. Unilaterally raising tariffs and blocking China’s semiconductor industry chain through the Chip and Science Act will only disrupt the global value chain and further aggravate globalization and division. " Rousseff said.

  "We should not forget that open global trade has benefited all countries and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty." Klaus schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, believes that any step towards decoupling the global economy will bring an extra burden to global economic development. Decoupling from global trade and investment flows will further raise the current "fever curve" of the world economy, which is characterized by high inflation, high debt and low growth.

  Klaus schwab said: "Only by working together to create a win-win situation can a new economic revival be realized. We have different interests, but we need global cooperation to turn crises into opportunities and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. "

  Open cooperation breeds great opportunities.

  In response to climate change and technological innovation, under the global change, how can villagers on earth share the development dividend?

  "In the past 50 years, China has fully demonstrated how a country’s economic growth can promote common prosperity." Dominic barton, Chairman of Rio Tinto Group, said that the opening of China not only released a huge market, but also released the passion, intelligence and potential of more than 1.4 billion people. If this opening-up process is extended to "countries in the global south", covering more than 80% of the world’s population, it will not be a loss to the western world, but a huge opportunity.

  The field of green energy is a typical representative of future-oriented cooperation among countries. "Energy transformation will give birth to new businesses, new formats and new models such as comprehensive energy services and energy big data, which will vigorously promote the interconnection of energy infrastructure and promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. It is estimated that 2021— In 2050, the global investment in the energy sector reached 131 trillion US dollars, creating a broad market space for revitalizing trade and investment. " Xin Baoan, chairman of State Grid Corporation, said.

  Some multilateral platforms play an important role in the process of open cooperation. Jin Liqun, president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, said that in 2022, the AIIB provided a record $2.4 billion in climate financing, accounting for 56% of the total financing. In 2021, the major multilateral development banks contributed $82 billion in climate financing as a whole system, of which more than 60% went to low-income and middle-income economies.

  "With the advent of the era of uncertainty, the performance of the multilateral system will determine whether mankind will achieve prosperity." Jin Liqun said that the long progress of human civilization clearly shows that we must turn to sustained global economic integration and multilateral cooperation.

  The more interconnected, the more common prosperity.

  "A key aspect of China’s contribution lies in its continuous promotion of building an open world economy" — — At the summit, many guests spoke highly of China’s pragmatic actions in opening up.

  "In recent decades, China has become an important participant in Latin American trade and investment. China’s growing demand for raw materials and agricultural products in this region has greatly promoted Latin American exports and created important income and economic opportunities." Bolivian President Arce said in a video address that this summit will help promote understanding among different countries, explore new investment and development opportunities and promote the construction of a more inclusive global market.

  "A healthy and balanced US-China economic and trade relationship is in the interest of both sides." U.s.-china business council President Craig Allen said. According to reports, in 2022, the bilateral trade volume of goods and services between the United States and China set a new record, and the export of goods from the United States to China reached a record high of more than 150 billion US dollars, an increase of over 20% over the past decade, from which enterprises and consumers of both countries benefited. According to US statistics, in 2022, US exports of goods to China will bring 1 million jobs to the United States.

  Craig Allen said that American enterprises have clearly received the signal that China will continue to optimize its business environment and attract foreign investment. History shows that the more interconnected, the greater the possibility of common prosperity. We look forward to continuing to cooperate with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in the future and promoting the healthy development of US-China economic and trade relations through constructive dialogue and contacts.

  At this summit, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) reached a series of consensus with the business representatives attending the meeting, forming the Beijing Initiative of the 2023 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit. Ren Hongbin, president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade will build more platforms and provide better services, better help the industrial and commercial circles of all countries to seize market opportunities, investment opportunities and growth opportunities, and make new and greater contributions to promoting the construction of an open world economy.

Fifty years ago, the "war" in the automobile industry: the unsuccessful acquisition of Ford and Ferrari.

Original title: If you don’t sell yourself, I will hammer you.
Author: Sun Mingyuan
On May 21st, 1963, Don Fryer, Vice President of Ford, and many senior executives arrived in Maranello. In a small conference room, there were all Ford and a team of professional lawyers at one end, and Enzo Ferrari and several local lawyers at the other end. At first, it seemed to go smoothly, but suddenly Enzo put down his contract documents, took out his famous pen filled with purple ink from his suit and wrote on the left side of a paragraph: "No, I can’t accept this one!" "
(Enzo wrote "No, that‘s not OK" with a purple ink pen on the left side of the contract, originally in Italian)
Then the two sides went through a long negotiation, and finally Enzo said faintly to the lawyer on the side, "Come on, let’s go to dinner." Then he got up and turned away with the lawyer, leaving Ford and his party and the lawyer team looking at each other.
(Photo taken when Ford and his party signed a contract with Enzo Ferrari in 1963)
This means that Ford’s acquisition of Ferrari was a complete failure, and it also opened the curtain of the most touching "war" in the automobile industry in the last century.
prologue
In the 1960s, the hippie Beatles and the Rolling Stones were in full swing, and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was just established. At this time, the automobile industry is in the development period, especially in the United States. Low oil prices and convenient highways have made the American automobile industry enter a high-speed development stage. The main theme of the United States at that time was "Nothing is impossible", and all industries were trying to break records and create miracles.
After World War II, because Edsel Ford (son of Henry Ford) died young, and Henry Ford was old, and the company’s political struggle and other reasons, Ford was faced with great difficulties, and its sales plummeted. The company urgently needed a new leader.
So in 1943, Henry Ford II (the eldest son of edsel Ford), who was still serving in the Navy during World War II, was "recalled" to work in Ford and became the CEO of Ford Motor Company two years later. Through a series of management reforms and personnel changes, he successfully "saved" Ford, turned losses into profits in a few years, and listed Ford in 1956, which was comparable to GM and Chrysler at that time.
Although the sales volume was increasing, Ford was generally regarded as "a car company for the elderly" at that time. Even though Americans agreed that Ford was reliable and durable, it lacked exciting features and was not suitable for young people.
(Ford Tudor in 1950s)
Ford hoped to seize the youth market, and the best way at that time was to participate in international automobile competitions as an advertisement to change the "old" brand impression, so he founded the racing project "Total performance Program", which was in charge of Don Fryer, then vice president.
When Ford II searched all the lists, he found the Ferrari that was "on sale" at that time. At that time, Ferrari almost dominated the world racing competition, and the most influential one was the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.
(Starting characteristics of 24-hour Mountain Endurance Race)
In 1929, Enzo Ferrari founded Scuderia Ferrari in Modena (translated as "Ferrari Stable", literally translated as Ferrari stable, that is, Ferrari team). It is not difficult to see from the name that Enzo has only focused on the field of racing since he founded Ferrari. At first, Ferrari existed as a racing division of Alfa Romeo. Later, in 1933, it replaced the original internal racing division and became the racing division of Alfa Romeo.
Later, the company dissolved the Ferrari team and made Enzo the captain of the newly established Alfa Corse team. So on September 6, 1939, Enzo decided to leave Alfa Romeo and set up his own company. However, due to the agreement signed when he left, he was not allowed to participate in any competition or car production under the name of Ferrari for four years. Enzo first founded a company in the former site of Ferrari team, engaged in the production of aircraft parts and related tools, and then produced the first Ferrari racing car-TiPO 815 (without Ferrari logo) based on Fiat platform in 1940.
(Tipo 815)
In 1943, Enzo moved the factory to Maranello, and Ferrari has not changed its address since then. The car with Ferrari logo in the true sense is the 125 S produced in 1947, equipped with a 1.5-liter V12 engine, and Ferrari Motor Company officially "set sail".
(Ferrari 125S)
There is a joke called: "Ferrari without V12 engine is not called Ferrari at all."
The story behind this sentence is that Enzo never wanted to produce streetcars, nor did he want to compromise Ferrari’s proud V12 engine. But his son Dino didn’t think so. Dino had designed and developed Ferrari V6 engine and V8 engine, which was the source of V8 engine that Ferrari often used later. Although Enzo didn’t want to be disturbed by things outside the competition, the reality was cruel, and the funds needed to participate in the competition were amazing, so he had to compromise to produce streetcars to finance the team.
One is the American automobile empire, which is in urgent need of the injection of racing genes, and the other is the stubborn Italian racing fanatic, which is faced with huge funding problems. It seems to be a "hit it off" thing, but in fact Ferrari is "on sale" just because Enzo hopes to have capital inflow to ensure his racing career. So when Enzo saw that it was written in black and white "including the right to control and operate Ferrari cars", he turned down the $18 million acquisition contract without mercy.
(Enzo is dissatisfied with the content of the treaty, and the purple line is drawn.)
Ford II flew into a rage when the news of the failure of the negotiations returned to Detroit. Not only did Ford send Don Fryer, then vice president, to buy Ferrari, and spent nearly nine months in communication and negotiation, which cost more than $3 million in manpower and material resources, but finally only got a pile of "waste paper" on the table under Enzo’s back.
First battle Ferrari
The reason why Ford II was so angry was that his previous "efforts" went down the drain, and there was news that Enzo didn’t want to sell it to Ford at that time, just to show it to Fiat (Ferrari was acquired by Fiat in 1969), and Enzo once said to Ford II, "You are far less great than your grandfather Henry Ford."
(Henry Ford II)
In a rage, Ford II summoned all Ford’s right-hand men and gave a dead order: "Build me a car that can completely defeat Ferrari and conquer the French 24-hour Le Mans endurance race!"
At that time, Ford was not without racing experience, and Ford had achieved good results in American races such as Indy 500 and NASCAR. However, Le Mans Endurance Race is far away in Europe and France. The track is a daily road and only two lanes wide, with a lap of 8.3mile (about 13.357km), a total mileage of over 3,000 miles (4,828 km) and a top speed of up to 210 miles/h (338 km/h). It also faces various weather environments such as rain, fog and night during the 24-hour race. For Ford, this is tantamount to a novice challenge to Mount Everest.
(24-hour Le Mans Raceway)
So when Ford II said, "No matter how much it costs, I must win the XXX in Italy", many people thought this sentence was as unbelievable as President Kennedy’s "We are going to the moon".
In order to quickly adapt to European races, Ford found a small racing company in Britain-Lola Cars (a small company focusing on racing, located in Slough Industrial Park near London, the site is still there). They have European racing experience and existing mid-engine chassis, so they were hired to build chariots with Ford engineers.
However, time was too tight. In March 1964, it took only seven months, and the first prototype Ford GT equipped with a British chassis and a Ford engine came out. At that time, several drivers including Bruce Mclaren (founder of McLaren) did a lot of tests and improvements for GT, and initially solved many problems.
(Bruce Mclaren)
The extremely streamlined body is only 40 inches (1016mm) high, so it is named GT40. Equipped with the engine of Ford Indy 500, 4.2-liter V8, with about 350 horsepower, seems very promising.
(Ford GT40 Prototype)
However, in fact, due to the lack of experience in aerodynamic design at that time, the cooling air inlets designed at the front of the vehicle not only did not work, but also produced a lifting force, resulting in insufficient downforce of the vehicle. In April, 1964, Ford took the GT40 prototype to Le Mans Test Day. Although the speed was very fast, the whole vehicle had no stability and handling. Even on the straight track, it could lose its grip but slip and turn. This happened not just at the beginning, but at the speed of 170mile/h (about 273.6km/h).
The problem is not only in aerodynamics, but also in suspension. At that time, Ford didn’t understand why the vehicle was so unstable, because the GT40 crashed at the speed of 160mile/h(257.5km/h) that afternoon. Although Ford took two GT40s with him, the second one crashed the next day.
At this time, it was only two months before the 1964 Le Mans Endurance Race.
Despite the difficulties, Ford finally arrived at the Le Mans Endurance Race as scheduled with three GT40. On June 20, 1964, the race started as scheduled. Ford’s three GT40 took the lead in the second lap and even set an average speed record of 131mile/h/h (about 210.8km/h). However, in the end, all three cars failed to finish the race because of an accident or gearbox failure.
As a result, Ferrari won the championship for the fifth time in a row, beating Ford with the results of first, second and third place.
Fight Ferrari again
Ford II did not lose heart, but said, "We will come again next year and beat Ferrari!" "
After the first failure, Ford decided to let Carroll Shelby be the leader of GT40 project. Shelby is a famous American designer, racing driver and entrepreneur. He used to be a flight instructor and test pilot during World War II, and he worked as an oil worker and a chicken farm farmer after retiring. At first, as a racing amateur, he made amazing achievements in many races. In 1959, he won the 24-hour Le Mans Endurance Championship by driving aston martin DBR1.
(In 1956, Shelby took part in the Mount Washington Climbing Race in a Ferrari 375GP.)
Because Shelby suffered from heart valve leakage when he was 7 years old, he needed to take nitroglycerin for a long time to keep his heart normal. It is precisely because of this that Shelby was rejected by Ferrari as a driver. After 1959, Shelby stopped racing as a driver, but founded Shelby American Company in southern California, USA, whose business was to modify and produce racing cars. Because of the previous competition, he was very interested in a British company named AC Ace, and wanted to build a racing car with its chassis body and the developed V8 engine in the United States.
At that time, Corvette (owned by General Motors) rejected his request, but Ford extended an olive branch to him. Ford’s V8 engine at that time was not only able to generate powerful power in generate, but also very suitable for retrofitting and installing the chassis of existing AC Ace cars. In 1962, Shelby reached a cooperation with Ford and produced the first Cobra model in history-the famous AC Cobra 260.
(AC Cobra 260)
In fact, in 1964, when three Ford cars lost, Shelby American had a car (Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe) with a 4.7L Ford engine and finished the race in the fourth place. In addition, in 1963 and 1964, AC Cobra with the same engine finished the race in the 7th and 18th places respectively.
So when Ford lost the first Le Mans race, Shelby came to mind first. In addition, Shelby’s engineering team has talented engineers (such as Phil Remington) who come to F1 and other competitions, including New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Italy, France, Germany and Britain. "A very cohesive team," Ford II commented.
“Carol was a Can-do, Let’s-get-it-done kind of guy and very much like my father, Carol had a very outgoing personality and I think that my father(Henry Ford II) personality and carol’s personality meshed reasonably well.” "Carol is a highly effective and very capable person, much like my father. His personality is very cheerful, which coincides with my father’s personality and gets along very well. "-Edsel Bryant Ford II (edsel Ford II, son of Henry Ford II)
Of course, I have to mention another legend here-Ken Miles, a British automobile engineer, racing driver and one of Shelby’s close friends. He served as a tank commander during World War II, and participated in car races and made racing cars after retiring. In 1953, he won 14 consecutive victories in SCCA League by driving his own car. Because of similar interests, Shelby invited Miles to join Shelby American and become the chief test driver. Together, they built the famous AC Corbra and Shelby GT350.
(left Bruce Mclaren, right Ken Miles)
When Shelby received the heavy responsibility, he first asked Miles to test the GT40 in Riverside International Raceway in Southern California. As a result, several drivers said the same sentence after the test: "It’s bloody awesome, I hate it.."
The extreme instability of the vehicle and many problems have made the team sweat.
Next, the whole team began to work day and night, and even ate amphetamine as jelly beans. Starting with aerodynamics, the problem of body modeling is solved first; Then the original Ford 4.2-liter V8 engine was replaced by Ford 4.7-liter V8 engine, which improved the power a lot. Then the gearbox was replaced by a 5-speed gearbox made by ZF in Germany, and the reliability was improved. In addition, the cooling system, suspension, wheel hub, tires and other parts are modified and optimized. The new model GT40 Mk1 Daytona is almost the same as the original GT40 Mk1 (after the new model is released, the first generation of models participating in Le Mans will be called MK1 to distinguish different GT40, and then the code will be added later). You can even think that Shelby and Miles have applied many experiences from Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe to GT40.
(1965 GT40 Mk1 Daytona)
The transformed GT40 Mk1 Daytona is indeed much better than before, and even won the 2000km endurance race in Daytona Continental, defeating Ferrari P2 driven by John Surtees (legendary driver, the only one who has won two and four world championships so far, and the oldest surviving F1 world champion). And won the second and third place in the next 12 hours of Sebring endurance race. However, due to problems such as gearbox, some races that GT40 Mk1 Daytona participated in later ended in failure.
(In 1965, three Ferrari cars crossed the line at the same time in the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race)
In 1965, the French 24 Hours Le Mans Endurance Race was held again. This time, six Ford GT40 (different versions) participated, but none of them was able to finish the race. Ferrari once again "humiliated" Ford’s ambition and won five consecutive championships.
Three wars Ferrari
So far, Ford has invested millions of dollars in the GT40 project, but none of the cars have completed the Le Mans race. Ford II is faced with a dilemma, either to give up the "war" with Ferrari and stop investing, or to continue to increase investment and "crash" Ferrari.
The answer given by Ford II was to send a card with a name to everyone involved in the project, and a sentence was written under the name: "You‘d better win! (In the interview, Shelby recalled "Ford wins Le Mans in 1966")
When Ford II handed the cards to the team members one by one, Shelby and several engineers asked, "What about the financial budget restrictions?"
Ford only replied: "You are only responsible for winning, and don’t worry about anything else!"
In order to continue to improve GT40, Myers and his team have invested thousands of hours in testing and research. The new GT40 Mk2 has further increased the engine displacement, from 4.7-liter V8 to 7.0-liter V8 (the engine used by Ford for NASCAR). Because of the engine with such a huge volume and power, the chassis structure has been strengthened, the suspension system has been upgraded, the cooling system has been optimized, and the braking system has been improved … The new GT40 Mk2 will no longer be extremely unstable, even at the speed of 210mile/h (about 338km/h), it is still rock-solid.
(GT40 Mk2, the one that Ken Miles drove in 1966 still exists in the world, worth more than 15 million pounds).
What is even more exaggerated is that Shelby, Myers and Ford team jointly developed a set of computer simulation equipment, which can simulate the whole gearbox working condition of Le Mans race. The reason why the gearbox has always been a "drag" before is that on the one hand, the engine power and torque have risen sharply on the existing power system, and the gearbox has not had enough time to verify its reliability; On the other hand, at that time, the Le Mans race had to shift gears nearly 9000 times, and it was easy to go wrong after 24 hours of continuous high-intensity use on the Le Mans track, which tortured the car. (For example, in 1965, several P2 models sent by Ferrari failed to complete the race because of the gearbox).
Although this set of gearbox simulation equipment later became the standard equipment in the development of F1 racing cars, it was almost witchcraft at that time. Through computer signal transmission, every gear shift in the whole Le Mans race is actually simulated, and the gearbox is also connected to the engine to simulate the real racing situation.
The date of the duel between David and Gliath is approaching.
The Italians didn’t stand still at this time. In order to cope with Ford’s menacing challenge, Ferrari took out the P3 model that had just been produced. The streamlined body is even more exaggerated than GT40, and the height of 37.4inch (about 95 cm) is even lower than GT40. At that time, the top speed of GT40 was a little more than 210mile/h/h (about 338km/h), while the top speed of P3 was only 190mile/h/h (about 305.8km/h). However, Enzo was willing to sacrifice some top speed for lightness and flexibility, so that P3 control would be better without accidents in the narrow track, and it would be possible to refuel in P room less times.
(Ferrari P3, now worth more than 20 million pounds)
On June 18th, 1966, Ford brought the Armada-8 GT40, 20 tons of spare parts, and a team of top racers (Kim Myers, Bruce McLaren, etc.).
Ford II was invited as the opening guest of that year’s Le Mans Endurance Race. With the flag waving in his hand, the race officially started. At first, Ford relied on strong speed to gain the lead, but when the time came, Ferrari regained the first and second positions with more flexible maneuverability and fuel economy.
(Ford II waves the flag and the game begins)
On the contrary, Ford was asked to strictly implement the strategy of "drive carefully, don’t be reckless" because of the painful memory of "bow and snake shadow" However, one person in the team ignored this instruction, and Kim Myers decided to give it a shot, constantly setting a shocking lap record and regaining the leading position from Ferrari.
The next morning, when the morning sun shone on Le Mans, France, three P3 cars brought by Ferrari either broke down on the side of the road due to mechanical failure or had a serious accident and had to retire.
On the afternoon of June 19th, three GT40MK2s passed the finish line side by side with the cheers of the audience and all Ford people, and won the first, second and third place, and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966, which shattered Ferrari’s dream of winning six consecutive championships.
(In 1966, three GT40 cars crossed the line at the same time)
This is a great victory that goes down in history, and it is also the most unforgettable moment in the history of automobiles, and it is also the starting point for Ford’s glory.
“It was one terrific time, one that could never repeat again.” ——Carroll Shelby
postscript
Ford, who was on a roll, successively won the following three French 24-hour Le Mans Endurance Championship, but it is a pity that Kim Myers, who helped Ford win all these dazzling achievements, failed to witness the subsequent glory.
(GT40 J-Car)
After Mk2′ s total victory, Ford did not stop, but continued to improve its aerodynamics and chassis. Two months after the race, when the test car GT40 J-car was tested at Riverside International Raceway in Southern California, Myers died in an accident, and his son witnessed it by the track.
(Ken Miles)
What is even more regrettable is that in the Le Mans race in 1966, because the victory was already locked, Ford hoped that the three cars could cross the line together and let the reporter take this unforgettable scene, so Myers slowed down and waited for the other two cars to catch up before crossing the line together. However, although Miles’ car passed the finish line first, the organizer suddenly put forward an unknown rule. Because Bruce McLaren’s parking space was a distance behind Miles’ car, according to the total length, McLaren won the first place. As a result, Miles missed out on the "Grand Slam" of the three most influential events (Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona) in 1966.
After the death of Miles, the project was suspended for two months. After that, Ford introduced a brand-new model GT40 Mk4, which has a brand-new body, suspension and brakes compared with Mk2, and a new model with big tires and brakes. In Le Mans linear track, it can be 50mile/h/h faster than Mk2 (about 80.5km/h), and it also uses a 7.0-liter V8 engine equipped with Mk2. (6200 rpm in 1st gear can accelerate to 144.8km/h)
(GT40 Mk4)
In 1967, when many people thought that Ford only won the race by "luck" last year, Dan Gurney drove the GT40 Mk4 to cross the finish line again in the first place.
On the podium, Gurney had a whim, throwing a long-shaken bottle of champagne at the crowd and reporters, becoming the first person in the history of racing to make this celebration, and this habit has been "used" to this day.
(Gurney sprayed champagne on the crowd at the award ceremony in 1967)
After that, Ford decided to withdraw from Le Mans. On the one hand, Ford has proved its strength and achieved the expected goal. On the other hand, FIA announced a new rule in 1967, "The engine displacement of participating vehicles should not exceed 5 liters". Gurney once joked in an interview: "Europeans know that if they don’t change the rules, they can’t take the championship from the Americans."
However, in the 1968 and 1969 French 24 Hours Le Mans Endurance Race, John Wyer (team manager when Shelby won the Le Mans championship in Aston Martin in 1959, left Aston Martin in 1963, joined Ford in 1964 and participated in the research and development process of GT40) changed the model with Ford GT40 Mk1 (4.9-liter V8 engine) in the name of his own company (JW Automotive Engineering).
When the rules were changed again in 1969, GT40 completely withdrew from the 24-hour Le Mans race in France.
Nowadays, it is difficult to calculate how much Henry Ford II invested in this battle. Some experts speculate that according to today’s monetary value, Ford spent about 360 million pounds to teach Ferrari a lesson.
If there were no political reasons for Ferrari’s team management, which led to the replacement of Ferrari’s legendary driver John Sutis before the race in 1966, it might be hard to say whether it would be won or lost that year. If Kim Myers hadn’t died young two months after that victory, perhaps Ford would have won more glory in the racing world. If …
In fact, there are countless ifs, but we just need to remember that carote Shelby and Kim Myers have made indelible contributions in this great "battle", and there are still many people’s contributions in the GT40 project. Ford II is definitely a great figure in the history of automobiles …
“I want my legacy to be I want to make sure those people are recognized, they were pioneers.”——Carroll Shelby
More than 50 years have passed, and that embarrassing legend has left us not only a legendary GT40, but also a splendid automobile culture.

Those funny moments in life

Here are two jokes, hoping to bring you happiness!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Joke 1

After school, Li Xiaoming looked for a biology teacher with a notebook. He asked, "Teacher, why do human red blood cells contain protein from pigs? Does this mean that humans and pigs have a certain genetic relationship in evolution? Also, about pig eight quit … "

The biology teacher stared at Li Xiaoming’s notebook for a moment and wrote on the blackboard with chalk: "Globin-one of the components of human hemoglobin."

Li Xiaoming looked down and saw his notes: "Pig protein …"

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Joke 2

Mother’s Day is coming, and the teacher reminds the students of their mother’s hard work and asks them to write a composition thanking her. Most students will write a sentence in their compositions: "When I grow up, I must be filial to my mother!"

Xiaolan, who is in the second grade, wrote in her composition: "Mom is so hard, I will ask my children to be filial to me in the future! ! !”

……

Ten events that changed the direction of China’s ancient history: everything can affect the history of thousands of years.

In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (the first 210 years), Qin Shihuang was seriously ill while touring the plain and Tianjin, and expected that his life would soon be over. However, Qin Shihuang’s head was still clear, and he wrote an imperial edict to Fu Su: "Buried with the funeral in Xianyang". Qin Shihuang died soon, and the imperial edict was also seized by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao immediately colluded with Reese to tamper with the imperial edict, gave Fu Su and Meng Tian capital punishment, and changed Hu Hai to Qin Ershi. This incident completely disrupted the development track of the Qin Dynasty. According to the normal development, Fu Su, the eldest son, succeeded to the throne. "Historical Records" states that "Fu Su was benevolent." If Fu Su comes to power, it will certainly adjust the harsh ruling environment of the Qin Dynasty, reconcile social contradictions and continue the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In 2008, Cao Cao, King of Wei Wu, who had basically unified the north, led 200,000 troops to conquer Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south, and the two sides were at Chibi Station. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated by 50,000 Sun and Liu armies, and the unification of China failed. Before Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao had absolute strength to complete the reunification of China. However, after Battle of Red Cliffs’s failure, Sun Quan consolidated his position in Jiangdong, while Liu Bei took the opportunity to make progress in Yizhou, which continued the separatist strength. After the failure of this reunification, China once again realized the real great reunification, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty.

In 383, Fu Jian had unified the north, and it was only an Eastern Jin Dynasty away from the unification of China. At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was poor and weak, but the north just had an economic war and the economy had yet to recover. However, Fu Jian was eager for reunification, so he mobilized 800,000 troops to March south, and was finally defeated by 80,000 troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the Huaihe River. After that, Fu Jian was killed and the north was divided again. If Fu Jian consolidates the rule in the north and sends troops again, it can maintain the rule in the north, even if it cannot be unified.

In 471, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty succeeded to the throne and began a large-scale sinicization reform, and moved the capital to Luoyang. This reform has made Xianbei people completely integrated into the Han nationality, creating conditions for the reunification of China. Without Emperor Xiaowen’s reform, the north will be ruled by the Hu people for a long time, and the Han regime can only settle in the southeast, even leading to the powerful rule of China by the Turks. Emperor Xiaowen’s reform has solved the crisis of "five random flowers" and enabled Chinese civilization to continue to exist and develop.

Emperor Yangdi was originally an excellent emperor, who made great contributions to the unification and territorial expansion of China. However, one thing that Emperor Yangdi did made all his efforts come to naught, that is, three levies of Korea. From 612 to 614, Emperor Yangdi made three expeditions to Koguryo, all of which ended in failure. It can be said that the army mobilized by the three expeditions to Korea was unprecedented, which basically consumed the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, so that the rebellion occurred and the princes became independent. Otherwise, the Sui Dynasty would have existed for quite a long time.

In 755, the thriftiness of the three northern towns caused An Lushan to launch a rebellion, and Shi Siming was involved in this incident, so it was called "An Shi Rebellion". The turmoil lasted until 763. The Anshi Rebellion destroyed the productive forces in the north of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the shift of China’s economic center of gravity to the south. In the process of suppressing the Anshi Rebellion, local envoys took the opportunity to establish a buffer region, and the Tang Dynasty fell into the era of the separatist regime of the buffer region and went into decline. In fact, the Anshi Rebellion should have been put down soon. The reason why it caused such great damage was that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty executed Gao Xianzhi and Geshuhan, the commanders of Tongguan, and changed the war pattern.

In 936, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Khitan in the north had risen. In order to get the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan. Subsequently, with the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty, established the Later Jin regime, and called the Khitan "the son emperor". This incident had a far-reaching impact on China, and the Central Plains was completely exposed under the iron hoof of the Khitan, which was an important reason for the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

In 1259, Mongolian Khan Mongo led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the southwest military castle-Fishing City. In this battle, the Mongolian army could not attack for a long time, and Mongo was killed by an arrow, and Mongolia was forced to withdraw. After Mongo’s death, there was a war for the position of Khan in Mongolia, and the pace of Mongolia’s western expedition also stopped. Subsequently, Kublai Khan, who supported the Han culture, won the victory and established the Yuan Dynasty. And several great khanates in Mongolia have also split out. Therefore, the battle of Fishing City not only changed the history of China, but also changed the history of the world.

In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and his grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded him as his Emperor. Emperor Jianwen advocated judo and benevolent governance, which could correct many disadvantages of Zhu Yuanzhang’s period. However, shortly after Zhu Yunwen came to power, the "Battle of Jing Nan" broke out because of the problem of reducing vassals. Zhu Di, the prince of Yan, replaced the rule of Emperor Jianwen and became Emperor Yongle, and moved his capital to Beijing. Emperor Yongle’s measures to govern the country are no different from Zhu Yuanzhang’s. His coming to power deepened the autocratic rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In 1644, Li Zicheng led the peasant army into Beijing and overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, Li Zicheng failed to deal with the Wu Sangui issue. Then Wu Sangui used the "Chen Yuanyuan Incident" as an excuse to openly collude with the Manchu regime and lead the Qing soldiers into the customs. Under the joint strangulation of Wu Sangui and Dourgen, the "Dashun" regime in Li Zicheng soon fell, and the Qing army went south, conquered the north and south of the great river and established the Qing Dynasty.

An analysis of the traditional cultural foundation of Chinese modernization

The cultural connotation and characteristics of Chinese modernization reflect the profound influence of China traditional culture on the modernization process. Comprehensive development, cultural self-confidence and innovation, and the integration of socialist core values make Chinese modernization not only have economic and technological modernity, but also have cultural depth and uniqueness, which not only helps China to cope with various challenges in the process of modernization, but also provides a solid cultural foundation for the all-round modernization of China society.

Cultural Foundation and Characteristics of Chinese Modernization

Chinese-style modernization is not only the modernization of economy and science and technology, but also a multi-dimensional comprehensive modernization process. This comprehensive development feature reflects the importance of China’s traditional culture to all-round development, and also highlights the uniqueness of Chinese-style modernization and the difference from the western model.

Emphasize comprehensive development. Chinese modernization emphasizes comprehensive development, which means not only economic and technological modernization, but also political, cultural and social modernization. This concept originated from the core idea of China’s traditional culture, and these values have been playing an important role in China society. Traditional culture emphasizes balance and harmony in all fields, reminding people to consider all aspects of society comprehensively to ensure social stability and prosperity. In the process of modernization, this comprehensive development concept is embodied in government policies. Political, economic, cultural, social and other fields must develop in harmony to achieve the goal of comprehensive modernization.

Strengthen cultural self-confidence and innovation. Chinese modernization advocates maintaining cultural self-confidence in the process of modernization. The root of this view can be traced back to the traditional culture of China, which emphasizes the importance of culture and confidence in one’s own culture. Chinese modernization emphasizes that while absorbing the essence of western culture, we should also stick to our own cultural foundation and maintain cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence is not only respect for traditional culture, but also cultural innovation. Chinese modernization emphasizes the inheritance and innovation of traditional culture and encourages the creation of modern culture that integrates traditional elements.

Spread the core values of socialism. Chinese modernization emphasizes the spread and practice of socialist core values. Socialist core values include patriotism, collectivism, social fairness and justice and other important values, which have been strengthened and developed on the basis of China traditional culture. Socialist core values are not only the cultural heritage of China society, but also the moral and ideological pillar of Chinese modernization. In the process of Chinese-style modernization, socialist core values have been integrated into various fields, including education, media, law, etc., which is helpful to maintain national stability and social harmony and ensure that the modernization process is not only material development, but also accompanied by the promotion of culture and morality. Socialist core values emphasize civic responsibility and social responsibility, which is helpful to solve practical problems in development.

The value of excellent traditional culture to the development of Chinese modernization

Excellent traditional culture has a positive significance to the development of China, which not only enriches the cultural heritage of China, but also provides a solid cultural foundation for the stability and prosperity of China society. At the same time, China’s traditional culture has also played an important role in the international arena, establishing a positive international image for China and promoting cultural exchanges and cooperation.

Conducive to cultural inheritance and innovation. China’s excellent traditional culture is the essence of China’s history and culture, including Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and other ideological systems, as well as China’s outstanding achievements in ancient literature, painting, music, philosophy and other fields. The inheritance of these traditional cultures provides valuable cultural resources for China society and has profound historical accumulation. The inheritance of traditional culture not only helps to maintain the continuity of culture, but also provides profound cultural reference for modern society. For example, values such as benevolence, filial piety and etiquette are helpful to build social trust and cohesion, and provide stability and cohesion for China society. At the same time, traditional culture also provides rich materials and inspiration for cultural innovation. China’s traditional art, literature, philosophy and other fields have profound connotations and unique forms of expression, which can provide reference and inspiration for modern cultural creation. Many modern cultural creations incorporate traditional elements, creating creative and cultural works, which not only helps to inherit traditional culture, but also enriches the diversity of modern culture.

It is conducive to enhancing cultural self-confidence and influence. The inheritance of traditional culture makes China have stronger cultural confidence and international influence on the international stage. China’s traditional culture has profound historical and philosophical connotations, which has aroused extensive interest of the international community. China’s ancient literature, philosophy, painting, calligraphy and other traditional art forms have always been studied and worshipped by international scholars and artists. This cultural self-confidence is not only reflected in the cultural field, but also extended to other fields, such as politics, economy and science and technology. China’s traditional culture emphasizes values such as modesty, self-discipline and harmony, which have also had a positive impact on international cooperation and contributed to the establishment and maintenance of stability and peace in the international community. By promoting its own culture, China has established a bridge of cultural exchange, established closer ties with other countries and enhanced its international influence.

It is conducive to promoting the harmonious development of modern society. The excellent ideas contained in excellent traditional culture emphasize the core values such as harmony, human relations and social responsibility. These values have had a far-reaching positive impact on the harmonious development of China society. Chinese traditional culture encourages people to pay attention to the maintenance of interpersonal relationships and social order. This will help reduce social contradictions and conflicts and promote social harmony. Chinese excellent traditional culture emphasizes the harmonious coexistence between nature and human beings, while emphasizing the rule of law and the maintenance of social order. These ideological systems are conducive to building a harmonious society in different fields. Traditional culture also emphasizes social responsibility and public awareness, and encourages people to actively participate in social affairs and make contributions to society. This value concept is still of great significance in modern society and helps to establish a more fair and just social order.

The Path of Better Developing Chinese Modernization Based on Excellent Traditional Culture

Better development of Chinese modernization based on excellent traditional culture will help to inherit traditional culture and develop modern culture, at the same time enhance China’s international influence, promote cultural mutual learning and cooperation, and provide important support and opportunities for the all-round development of Chinese modernization. By actively exploring and practicing these paths, China can better cope with all kinds of challenges in the process of modernization and realize all-round economic, social and cultural modernization.

Promote educational development and cultural inheritance. Education is a key field for shaping a new generation of citizens and an important way to inherit excellent traditional culture. In the field of education, it is very important to strengthen the inheritance and education of excellent traditional culture. This includes not only the teaching of traditional culture, but also the cultivation of students’ cultural self-confidence and cultural identity. Schools can add more traditional cultural elements to the education curriculum, such as Confucian classics, ancient literature, traditional music and art, which will help students better understand and appreciate their own cultural traditions. It is very important to cultivate students’ self-confidence in their own culture, which can be achieved by improving students’ understanding of traditional culture and encouraging them to participate in cultural activities and practice of traditional culture. Traditional culture and modern education are not contradictory and can be organically combined. For example, emphasizing traditional values in education, such as filial piety and friendship, can cultivate students’ sense of social responsibility and moral values. At the same time, traditional culture can also provide inspiration for modern science and technology and innovation, and encourage students to create and explore in various fields.

Vigorously innovate and develop cultural industries. Cultural industry is an important part of Chinese modernization, and it is also one of the ways to combine traditional culture with modern society. Supporting the innovative development of cultural industries and integrating traditional cultural elements into modern cultural products can create more cultural values and economic benefits. The innovation of cultural industry includes the creation of new cultural products and the integration of traditional cultural elements into contemporary cultural products. For example, movies, music and literary works can learn from the theme and spirit of traditional culture to attract more audiences and readers. Cultural and creative industry is a field that combines traditional culture with modern creativity, including design, fashion, art and other aspects. It can meet different needs through the reinterpretation and innovation of traditional cultural elements. China is rich in historical and cultural heritage, and developing it into cultural tourism resources can promote local economic development. By providing cultural experience, cultural tourism routes and cultural festivals, more tourists can be attracted to visit and study.

Pay attention to international exchanges and cooperation. Chinese modernization is not only a domestic challenge, but also an opportunity for international cooperation. Strengthening cultural exchanges and cooperation with other countries will help China’s culture to go global, and at the same time absorb the advantages of other cultures and realize mutual learning. Cultural exchanges with other countries can be strengthened through international cultural festivals, art exhibitions, academic seminars and other forms, which will help China’s culture spread more widely on the international stage and enhance the international community’s awareness and interest in China’s culture. By jointly promoting cultural cooperation projects with other countries, cultural mutual learning and cooperation can be promoted, including joint creation of cultural works, joint holding of cultural activities and exchange of cultural delegations. Besides, absorbing the advantages and experiences of other countries’ cultures can enrich China’s culture. For example, introducing foreign art forms, educational methods and cultural festivals will inject new elements and innovations into China culture.

Chinese modernization is closely related to Chinese excellent traditional culture, which provides an important cultural foundation and values for Chinese modernization. In the process of developing Chinese modernization, it is necessary to give full play to the positive role of traditional culture, maintain cultural self-confidence and realize cultural innovation at the same time, so as to promote the all-round modernization of China society. Through in-depth study and understanding of Chinese excellent traditional culture, China can better cope with various challenges in the process of modernization, while maintaining the uniqueness of its own culture. The inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture will promote Chinese modernization to be more balanced and harmonious, and provide strong support for the sustainable development of China society.

Ten best-selling games of all time! They are all masterpieces. Which one have you played?

Recently, IGN, a well-known game media, counted a list of the top ten best-selling games in history. This list does not include free games, and I believe most players have heard of them. As for which games are on the list, let’s take a look:

Tenth place: The Wild Escort: Redemption 2, with a sales volume of 46 million copies.

R star’s American western theme open world game masterpiece, with outstanding plot and high degree of freedom, can be called a compulsory course for solo players.

Ninth place: Baokemeng pocket monster Red, Green, Blue and Yellow, with a sales volume of 47 million copies.

As the most valuable IP in history, pocket monster’s Baokemeng is definitely the most impressive generation for players. Today, many players use simulators to relive the classics, and they are well-deserved on the list.

Eighth place: Super Mario Bros., with 48 million copies sold.

Childhood classics, as Nintendo’s top IP, have also spawned many excellent works.

Seventh place: Watch the Pioneer, with a sales volume of 50 million copies.

I have to say that the summer of 2016 is really unforgettable. Although the operation of Blizzard is really not so good, and many players have lost in the second generation, no game of the same type can be used as a substitute to ban the position of watch pioneer.

Sixth place: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition, with sales of 56.87 million copies.

This game often appears on the weekly bestseller list, and the quality of the game is really excellent. Online and offline can make people feel happy, which is a miracle of game sales on NS.

Fifth place: Survival of the Jedi, with a sales volume of 75 million copies.

In that year, this game won the popularity of watching pioneers in one fell swoop, and it also brought fire to countless anchors. The quality can’t be said. However, although the sales volume of the game is very high, the plug-in is too rampant. Some of the sales volume may be attributed to cheating players. In the face of other similar games, it has become inferior and lacks competitiveness.

Fourth place: Wii Sports, with sales of 82.9 million copies.

For a long time, this game was the game with the highest sales volume on the console platform. At that time, it also set off a fitness craze on the console platform, and Lao Ren’s creativity was worthy of recognition.

The third side: "Give Him Love 5", with a sales volume of 170 million copies.

There is nothing to say about this game. If you buy it again, you won’t see Love 6 for him.

Second place: My World, with 238 million copies sold.

The masterpieces that are popular all over the world are being played by people of all ages you can think of. Don’t think that the pixel quality is not good. Playing a MOD may not even bring it to your computer.

First place: Tetris, with sales of 520 million copies.

Never surpassed, full of gameplay, well-deserved sales first!

So in your mind, do you want Amway to give others a masterpiece? Welcome to say your choice in the comments section.

Pay attention to the "Twitter Workshop", share good games every day, and bid farewell to the game shortage!

Educational life in 4 minutes

After 10 years as a class teacher, I suddenly received a task to shoot a 4-minute video showing my style. 10 years, 3650 days, 87600 hours, now it is not difficult to condense it into 4 minutes. When writing the script, I turned all the photos and videos of the activities since I worked upside down, and wrote a review of the work of the class teacher with more than 5,000 words, still unable to find out what my educational philosophy is. The script was revised six or seven times before it passed the audit.

From "being blind" to making a video with personal characteristics, I summed up some experiences in shooting personal short videos.

As a class teacher, have we ever thought about such a question: What is the power to turn a seed into a big tree? Is it the power of the seed itself? Not exactly. The power to make a seed develop may come from the seed itself. But seeds grow into seedlings and trees need sunshine and rain, and they need strength from the environment and the outside world.

Back to video shooting, we should also pay attention to some external factors:

First, study the contest documents to understand the shooting needs. We can extract key words from the document, such as the need to embody ideas and practices, achievements and talents, teachers’ morality and personal charm.

The second is to pay attention to the details when designing the shooting script. The structure of the script includes, but is not limited to, rapid introduction of educational ideas, performance of practices, characteristic results and other elements. Script design must pay attention to where and when to insert what pictures and videos, and which roles need dialogue and action.

The third is to strengthen the expression of details, carefully select and prepare. How to strengthen personal expression in video shooting? We can achieve this goal through clothing selection, makeup selection, decoration selection, posture practice and vocal practice.

The fourth is to form a shooting team and believe in team strength. Including professional shooting team, school logistics team, PPT production team, editing team and so on.

All the above are external factors, which determine the direction and content of video production. At the same time, we should actively look for internal causes. As a class teacher, many times we just look down at the cart and don’t know how to look up at the road. I have done a lot of things, but I don’t know where to start when I really sort them out. Because these things are scattered, and it is even more difficult for us to find our own characteristics and styles from them. So, how to fully understand yourself? I summed up five words: seek, save, manage, don’t, and be true.

Find-find multiple angles. We can talk to colleagues, parents and students and learn about ourselves in their stories.

It was through three colleagues that I decided on the script framework of the short video. In the impression of Mr. Wang, I worked hard and practically, and came to Shenzhen from Guizhou all the way, sticking to my dream. Teacher Zhao said that you insist on writing WeChat in WeChat official account. Teacher Tao Zi said that your practice of educating people with the help of class-based courses and activities should be demonstrated. In this way, three colleagues helped me refine the three most distinctive characteristics.

Province-ask yourself deeply. No matter what others think, the most important thing is how you think of yourself. As the protagonist of the video, we must know what kind of teacher we are, ask what our educational philosophy is and how to carry out class activities based on it. Find theoretical support for your class teacher’s work upward and deeply, so that your daily work can be followed.

I reflected on my work and found that when middle school students couldn’t find their dreams during the class, I planted the seeds of their dreams through the dream wall; When students are not confident, I introduce classic film and television cases to encourage students; When students have cognitive limitations, I joined hands with parents to carry out the class-based course of "Pioneer Team Going to Shenzhen" … After careful combing, I found my own educational philosophy: the art of education lies not only in imparting skills, but also in inspiring, awakening and inspiring.

Reason-combing ideas and activities. If you have a clear idea of your own education, you can sort out the class activities and courses that correspond to it, and whether you have implemented five major contents of moral education in class management (education of ideals and beliefs, education of socialist core values, education of Chinese excellent traditional culture, education of ecological civilization and mental health), and whether you have tried six major ways of moral education (education by courses, education by culture, education by activities, education by practice, education by management and education by cooperation). It is impossible to say the five contents and six ways in four minutes, which requires the next step-identification.

Don’t-there is label recognition. If you want a short video to shine, you must improve your recognition and define a "tag" that can leave a deep impression on people. I labeled myself as "a Miao girl who came to Shenzhen from Dashan, Guizhou to pursue her dreams", and recorded the journey of pursuing her dreams by using progressive narrative techniques.

True-do true things and reveal true feelings. The "truth" here contains two meanings. First, the deeds and activities shown in the video must be true things that have been done; The second is to truly have love in your heart, someone in your eyes and law in your hands at work.

In short, the essence of a high-quality short video must be based on down-to-earth daily work, while paying attention to refining and combing. In fact, with the help of this opportunity, I have systematically combed many years of teaching experience and educational ideas, which is not a reflection and a kind of happiness.
