Why are the French so lazy, so high in GDP and so advanced in technology?

In the eyes of the public in China, France is a romantic place, and romance requires certain conditions. If there is no time, how can it be romantic? Don't you have to hoe the ground when you eat western food and drink red wine? Obviously this is impossible, and it is impossible to really enjoy a romantic life; At the same time, even if you have time and you have no money, you can't enjoy romance. Although money can't represent everything, some things need money to support them, just like romantic life. Simply put, roses can't represent romance, but they can add a romantic atmosphere. When embarrassing things happen, you don't even have money to buy roses. What about romance? Personally, the all-day rest in France also laid the foundation for the romance in France.

In France, it is usually difficult to finish something quickly. The same thing can be done in China in a short time, but it will take some time to put it in France. Because in France, you can't go to work directly, you have to make an appointment with each other first. After the other party agrees to give you a "date", you have to spend time "waiting" for that "date". The most typical thing is to "make an appointment" with doctors in various clinics. As long as it's not an emergency, it's not a disease that can't wait (the disease that can't wait can go directly to the hospital without an appointment), and the appointment with the doctor often takes two weeks to four months.

Romance and fashion have become synonymous with France. This preconceived impression is 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 brains. In this land, there have always been rich masters of science, 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 participating startups came from France.

There is a professional technological power in the world (remember it is a technological power, not an industrial power). This ranking is based on university level, scientific research institutions, the number of Nobel Prizes won, frontier industries such as aviation, aerospace, engine, medical care, pharmacy, new materials, automation, intelligence and the number of effective papers and patents. The French are probably the happiest people in the world. They regard everything they do in life as enjoyment. Therefore, their life pace is very slow. Someone has done statistics. What Americans can accomplish in 1 hour, the French need 6 hours or more.

French women have a high position in family and society. There is a French saying: In France, women rank first, dogs rank second, children rank third and men rank last. French men really respect women. They are polite to women everywhere, and all the big and small things in the family are in charge of women. If French men live in China, they may be ridiculed as "henpecked". In France, dogs are really a member of the family. One of the characteristics of the French is their love for strikes. There are often news of strikes in France 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' blows. After all, the tide turns. Who knows when it will be their turn to strike?

Speaking of 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 lot 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 constructed, 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 also moved to the Atlantic coast, which also facilitated France's foreign trade. Because of the industrialization and commercialization of the world today, economic capacity is mainly reflected in industry and commerce, and France occupies a dominant position.

French attitude towards work and life: The French pay attention to high efficiency. When they are engaged in a job, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly. Even without supervision, they will work hard and will not slack off in their work. So the work efficiency of the French is very high, which also leads to why the French have a lot of rest time. Because they have completed the work index, they can have a rest. And the attitude towards life in France. 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.

Education reasons: France has a perfect education 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. Their curriculum design is varied, and many of them are practical problems in the factory. Teachers encourage students to take themselves as project leaders, visit factories by themselves, discuss with experienced engineers, propose solutions and finally defend themselves. As soon as students graduate and enter the company, they can be competent and even take up leadership positions, which is inseparable from the teaching characteristics of France.

Cultural reasons: France has profound cultural heritage, such as perfume, bags, French cuisine, flight attendants, and a number of internationally renowned cultural industries, such as Dior, Hermes and Chanel. French luxury goods, perfumes and French cuisine all benefit from its climate and fertile soil. In addition, its perfume and catering must rely on strong agricultural production capacity. Moreover, France's tourism resources are unique in Europe. French luxury goods have also become the benchmark of world brands. Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel, Dior and many other luxury brands have attracted the attention of consumers all over the world.

As an old capitalist country, France has developed since the Great Revolution, and its foundation is still very solid. Just like a high-speed car, the inertia speed will not be too low. The three countries with the strongest comprehensive ability in Europe are Britain, Germany and France. Before Britain left the EU, the EU was also dominated by these three countries. Germany is an industrial center, Britain is a financial center and France is a political center. Therefore, the whole pattern of the EU is planned in this way. Let's talk about culture. In the eyes of the French, the whole European civilization is the birthplace. This cultural self-confidence is the basis for France to remain strong for nearly a hundred years. Luxury goods, red wine, Airbus, complete industrial chain and so on are world-famous because of French cultural genes. Deep 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 even the world.

Finally, talk about the future. The world is experiencing the biggest change after World War II, and the world pattern will undergo fundamental changes. The future prospects of France are also good. With the rise of China, the world will gradually move from the dominance of the United States to multipolarization, and China will gradually become stronger. The United States is doomed to shrink and return to China's old road of making a big country. With Britain's withdrawal from the EU, the most promising countries in Europe in the future are only France and Germany. Germany will form a new financial center, while France will remain a political center. The best countries in the future should be China, the United States, French and German. . Personal humble opinion, as a small chat 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 perfume, red wine and Airbus in France. The third category is that they focus on seiko manufacturing, making features and thresholds, such as Japan and Germany.

Therefore, the French do have their own unique efforts to be the world's number one sensory product. Whether it is red wine or perfume, it is a profiteering product, which is popular all over the world. Spending a lot of money to buy it back will not only make many people stupid, but also make people full of inexplicable pride and gain the envy of others. If the interests are not managed, the interests are managed, and the process does not need to be managed, but only needs to be controlled. For high-profit products, it is not only unnecessary to rely on the benefits of management, but also leads to the impetuous mentality of employees and impatience to do things better. Therefore, personally, the French model is the best. They really make money while enjoying themselves.
