We first heard of California , probably through California beef noodle .
This beef noodle is popular in my country, but beef noodle has nothing to do with California, but the fire has something to do with California...

California, full name is California, it is the richest state in the United States, no one.
GDP (gross national product) in 2019 exceeded US$3 trillion. If it becomes an independent country, it will rank fifth in the world, surpassing India, the United Kingdom and France.
It’s no wonder that the people of California always want to be independent, after all, the various indicators given by the United States have dragged them down.

Today's Mexico also has a California state (Ba California state), why are there so many California states? Because California in the United States is the original Mexican territory!
Every time I mention it, the Mexicans shed tears of sadness.
1810, Mexico is independent. At that time, Mexico was oversized, with an area of more than 4.3 million square kilometers. Ranked seventh in the world.

However, the United States in the north was eyeing it and actually announced that the California region belongs to the United States. Naturally, the Mexicans did not agree, so from 1846 to 1848, the United States and Mexico fought.
Unfortunately, Mexico was defeated and signed the city alliance. Upper California (today's California), Texas and other 230 square kilometers of land have become the things in the United States. California and Texas ranked first and second in the GDP rankings of US states.
The total economic sum of these two states has surpassed Germany and is close to Japan.

California has a population of nearly 40 million, and its per capita GDP is as high as US$763.19 million, which is almost 1.5 times that of the top developed countries in Europe. The reason why I am so rich is to sum up: there is Silicon Valley in the north, Hollywood in the south, and the fertile plains in the middle.
Silicon Valley and Hollywood are too dazzling, but what makes Californians most confident is its agriculture.
Among the 10 most productive agricultural counties in the United States, 9 are in California.

A California, can almost support half of the United States. It produces 99% walnuts, 97% kiwis, 96% cauliflower, 95% garlic, 86% carrots in the United States...
Global chain McDonald's , Taco, and Panda Express are all born from the fertile soil of California.
Let’s look at Michelin restaurants in California, including 7 Samsung, 14 two-star restaurants, and 69 one-star restaurants. You know how arrogant its agriculture is.

Speaking of Hollywood, we have to mention a big bull: Thomas Edison. However, because of the patent in hand and the first-class legal team, the invention has played a huge hindering role in the American film industry...
