In China's public view, France is a romantic place, and romance requires certain conditions. If you don't have time, how can you be romantic? Don't you hoe the ground with a hoe while eating western food and drinking red wine? Obviously this is impossible, and it is impossible to really enjoy romantic life; At the same time, even if you have time and you don't have money, you can't enjoy romance. Although money can't mean everything, some things need money to support them, just like a romantic life. Simply put, roses can't mean romance, but they can add to the romantic atmosphere. When embarrassing things happen, you don't even have money to buy roses, so what about romance? Personally, I think that the full-day rest in France has also laid the foundation for romance in France.
in France, it is usually not easy to get something done quickly. The same thing can be done in a short time in China, but it takes some time to put it in France. Because in France, you can't go to work directly, you have to make an appointment with the other party first. After the other party agrees to give you a "date", you have to spend time "waiting" for the "date". The most typical is the "appointment" with doctors in various clinics. As long as it's not an emergency or an illness that can't wait (the illness that can't wait can go directly to the hospital without an appointment), the appointment with the doctor often has to wait for two weeks to four months.
Romance and fashion have become synonymous with France. This preconceived impression makes it easy to overlook another fact. That is, thanks to its own industrial accumulation and basic scientific background, France is actually not a country with a big chest and no brain. In this land, there have always been rich scientific masters, such as Madame Curie, Ampere, Descartes, and so on. In traditional industrial fields, such as aviation, aerospace, energy, nuclear energy, transportation, etc., there are multinational players in France. In the field of scientific and technological entrepreneurship, France has always had great potential. Especially in today's hot IT field, French companies are also making great strides. At this year's CES (International Consumer Electronics Show), one out of every three startups participating in the exhibition is from France.
There is a professional science and technology power in the world (remember it is a science and technology power, not an industrial power). This ranking is a sum calculation rule based on the level of universities, scientific research institutions, the number of Nobel prizes won, and cutting-edge industries such as aviation, aerospace, engines, medical care, medicines, new materials, automation, intelligence and the number of effective papers and patents. The French are probably the most enjoyable people in the world. They treat everything they do in life as enjoyment. Therefore, their pace of life is very slow. Some people have done statistics. What Americans can accomplish in one hour takes the French six hours or more.
French women have a high status in family and society. The French have this saying: In France, women rank first, dogs rank second, children rank third, and men stand last. French men really respect women very much. They are courteous to women everywhere, and it is women who make decisions on all the big and small things in the family. If French men live in China, they may be laughed at as "henpecked". And dogs in France are really a member of the family. One characteristic of the French is that they love to go on strike. There are often news of French strikes on TV and in newspapers. There are many strikes a year, and the French have probably regarded strikes as a natural and normal thing. Therefore, they can show great tolerance and understanding to others' strikes. After all, the tables have turned. Who knows when it will be their turn to strike?
When it comes to France's high gross national product and advanced science and technology, I think there are four reasons: historical reasons: after the opening of the new air route, France actively carried out foreign aggression and colonial expansion, plundered a large number of overseas colonial wealth, created conditions for the French industrial revolution, and made France an industrialized country; At the same time, in a series of colonial activities, the capitalist world market system was built, which enabled France to take the initiative in commercial trade and gain a favorable position in commercial trade. At the same time, the commercial and trade center has also moved to the Atlantic coast, which is also convenient for French foreign trade. Because today's world is industrialized and commercialized, its economic capacity is mainly reflected in industry and commerce, and France occupies a dominant position.
French people's attitude towards work and life: French people pay attention to high efficiency. When they are engaged in a certain job, they will devote themselves to it. Even if there is no supervision, they will work hard and will not slack off at work. Therefore, the French people's work efficiency is very high, which leads to why they have a lot of rest time. Because they have completed the work indicators, they can rest. There is also France's attitude towards life. The French attach great importance to their quality of life and strive to improve their quality of life, which inevitably takes a lot of time, which also creates the illusion that the French are lazy.
educational reasons: France has a perfect educational system, pays attention to the development of vocational education and higher education, has a large number of high-quality talents, strong scientific research and innovation ability, and has a group of skilled workers. French education is characterized by multi-level education, which is very practical. They have a variety of curriculum designs, many of which are practical problems in the factory. Teachers encourage students to take themselves as project leaders, visit the factory by themselves, discuss with experienced engineers, propose solutions and finally defend themselves. When students graduate, they can be competent or even take the leadership position as soon as they enter the company, which is inseparable from the teaching characteristics of France.
cultural reasons: France has profound cultural heritage, such as perfume, bags, French food and flight attendants, and has a number of internationally renowned cultural industries, such as Dior, Hermes and Chanel. French luxury goods, perfume and French food all benefit from its climate and fertile soil. In addition, its perfume and catering must rely on strong agricultural production capacity. Besides, France's tourism resources are unique in Europe. French luxury goods have also become the benchmark of world brands, with many luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel and Dior, attracting the attention of consumers all over the world.
France, as an old capitalist country, has been developing since the Great Revolution, and its foundation is still very solid. Just like a high-speed car, the speed of inertia will not be too low. The three countries with the strongest comprehensive ability in Europe are Britain, Germany and France, and the EU was dominated by these three countries before Brexit. Germany is the industrial center, Britain is the financial center, and France is the political center. This is the whole big pattern of the EU. Let's talk about culture again. In the eyes of the French, the whole European civilization is the birthplace. This kind of cultural self-confidence is the foundation that leads France to remain strong in recent hundreds of years. Luxury goods, red wine, Airbus, complete industrial chains and so on are world-famous because of French cultural genes. The profound internal strength in these fields cannot be formed overnight. It takes a long time to precipitate and accumulate, and it is the leading position in these fields that has made France's GDP and its position in Europe and the world.
Finally, let's talk about the future. The world is undergoing the biggest change after World War II, and the world pattern will undergo fundamental changes. The future prospect of France is also good. With the rise of China, the world will gradually become multipolar from the dominance of the United States, China will gradually strengthen, and the United States is bound to shrink and return to the old road of China's manufacturing power. With the Brexit, the two most promising countries in Europe in the future are only France and Germany. Germany will form a new financial center, and France will still maintain it. The best countries in the world in the future should be China, the United States, France and Germany. . Personally, a little humble opinion, just a little talk after dinner. Welcome to discuss, don't spray if you don't like it!
I think the more powerful countries in the world can be divided into three categories. The first category is to constantly create industries, set standards and make money in the name of high technology. Typical is the United States. The second category is that they have a set of ways to make a lot of money, such as France with perfume, red wine and Airbus. The third category is that they focus on seiko manufacturing and make features and thresholds, such as Japan and Germany.
Therefore, the French do have their own unique efforts to make sensory products the first in the world. Both red wine and perfume are profiteering products, and they are popular all over the world. Spending a lot of money to buy them back is not only that many people are stupid, but it will make people full of inexplicable pride and gain the envy of others. Benefits are not managed, benefits are managed, and the process does not need management, just control. For high-profit products, relying on the benefits of management is not only unnecessary, but also leads to the impetuous mentality of employees and impatience to do things better. Therefore, personally, I think the French model is the best one. They really made money while enjoying themselves.
