The One Behind It All Chapter 93

However, nothing can be separated from its era, and "wolf culture" is also a product of the era. Aiden's original choice of "wolf culture" was the inevitable result of the times, especially in the 1980s during the period of reform and opening up. It is understandable that he launched "wolf culture". "Wolf culture" is the product of the transformation from traditional Chinese society to modern civilization. It is the product of the primary stage of market economy, non-standardized systems and the development of nascent enterprises.

In the 1980s, when reform and opening up was launched, China had just experienced the trauma of the "Cultural Revolution" and various systems needed to be improved. In order to quickly get rid of its backwardness and realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Chinese government has granted many preferential conditions to foreign-funded enterprises, and these foreign-funded enterprises enjoy "super-national treatment" in China. Foreign-funded enterprises with "strong" financial backgrounds rushed in and quickly occupied the huge Chinese market, forming a market monopoly and grabbing high profits.

China's reform and opening up must develop its own economy and cultivate and support its own economic groups, so private enterprises began to grow. However, right at their "doorstep", they have been strongly "encircled and suppressed" by foreign-funded enterprises. If they confront them head-on, it will be like "an egg hitting a rock" and they will only end up being annihilated. Moreover, due to the difference in status between the two, the competition was not on the same starting line from the beginning. It started late, and there were many obstacles to overcome, making survival even more difficult. Therefore, if they want to survive, they need to have "the spirit of a wolf, a keen sense of smell, a strong sense of competition, teamwork and a spirit of sacrifice." Therefore, they naturally choose "wolf nature" and don't pay much attention to rules.

The 1980s was an era of adventure, which can also be said to be the period of primitive accumulation of capital in China. Without the "wolf nature" and timidity, enterprises will not grow at all.

This phenomenon also existed during the period of Western capital accumulation. During the period of primitive capital accumulation, crazy colonial plunder and enslavement, "a war of all against all," "trampling on all laws of the world," and taking desperate risks... Therefore, Marx wrote in "Das Kapital" Capital comes to the world, dripping with blood and filth from head to toe." "The history of primitive accumulation of capital is recorded in the annals of mankind in the words of blood and fire."
