Chapter 63 Witnessing the Miracle with My Own Eyes(1/2)
Then he told Xu Luo’s origin.
When everyone learned that Xu Luo didn't even have a degree from any school.
Immediately stunned.
The Chinese people are so awesome now!
They have always believed that only Westerners can thoroughly study Western economics. However, they did not expect that a young man from the East would appear who is younger than them, has a broader mind than them, and has a deeper research direction than them!
What's more important is that this young man doesn't have any teachers!
Although they don't want to believe it, the facts are now before their eyes.
They could not find any trace of an economist in this book and these 20 papers.
Even though Xu Luo and Paul lived together for half a month and discussed various issues together, they still broke away from Paul's Keynesian framework.
Seeing everyone's silence, Paul continued: "I know this is hard to believe, but looking at the past alumni of UMass, there are also many incredible people."
"I don't think we can exclude him from these schools just because he has no study experience in any school, otherwise we will lose a young man with deep research in economics."
For many things, youth is capital.
Because being young means you may achieve more in the future.
Paul is a person who is good at discovering outstanding talents, which is closely related to the way he conducts himself in the world.
At the same time, he is also a scholar who can absorb the essence of other schools of thought and has a love for talents.
Faced with the idea proposed by Paul, everyone fell silent for a while.
Almost a minute later, someone spoke up: "To be honest, this experience really surprised me. Maybe he is indeed a genius, but if we agree so hastily, it would be irresponsible."
p>
"Yes, I think so too." Another person said, "At least, we can't judge just from papers and books."
"I also want to meet this young man in person, but I hope he really has the real stuff instead of deceiving us!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, hoping to assess Xu Luo face to face.
After all, everyone has been famous for a long time and they don’t want to be deceived.
Otherwise, it will be a huge loss to your reputation, and it may even affect your life.
After Paul obtained everyone's consent, he notified Xu Luolai Publishing House.
Because they will hold a unique review meeting here.
After Xu Luo arrived at the magazine, Paul asked someone to prepare a blackboard and closed the office door.
This left the staff confused.
However, I didn’t ask, because when reviewing some journals, the review team may evaluate the authors face to face.
As soon as Xu Luo entered the office, he saw twelve people sitting in front of the table in a prepared posture.
Paul smiled and greeted, "Mac, you are here, let me introduce their identities to you."
Then introduce these people to him one by one.
They are all experts in economics. Although these people believe in different schools, they have all achieved many dazzling achievements in the past.
After the introduction, he said to everyone: "Everyone, this young man is the author of this book and the author of the 20 papers, Mac, from Hong Kong."
Then he said to Xu Luo: "The reason why I brought you here is because we need to review your opinions, just like doing a thesis defense."
Xu Luo nodded.
Then Paul asked first. The questions he asked were not the contents of Xu Luo's books and papers, but what he had just thought of.
Facing his question, Xu Luo just thought about it briefly and then answered it.
After Paul asked, the next person asked again.
Just like a level-breaking game, you go through each level one level at a time.
By the time all twelve levels were cleared, three hours had passed.
The questions are diverse, covering agricultural economics, industrial economics, financial economics, government economics, managerial economics, international economics, development economics, public economics, welfare economics, etc.
These questions did not stump Xu Luo, and his answers were still perfect.
Asking these questions does not mean that these professors are ignorant.
However, with the development of the times and changes in the environment, people need to study the government's economic activities from a broader scope and a deeper level.
Facing Xu Luo, who has decades of experience in the future, these problems that troubled them became easily solved.
And the theories, methods and models to solve the problem have also been made clear.
Just like when these people were still studying how Martin Cooper made a phone call with a thing as big as his head, Xu Luo had already laid out what the mobile phone would look like in a few decades and told them how to do it and how to do it.
Made.
But Xu Luo didn't feel very proud, because he stood on the shoulders of his predecessors.
However, these are enough to convince these people.
After all the questions were asked, Paul looked at everyone, "Everyone, I plan to propose to the school to recruit him into the school as an exception. I hope everyone can apply together with me."
Everyone thought carefully and then nodded in agreement.
"This is a good idea, I'm willing to sign."
"I do too."
"Count me in!"
"..."
Facing a person with real talents, everyone started to recruit him.
And when others mention him in the future, they will remember that he was the one who nominated him to enter this school.
I can be considered a favor to him.
Soon, Paul wrote an application, which said that he was an outstanding young man with profound research in the field of economics, and he hoped that the school could admit him.
After finishing writing, all the professors signed their names on it.
Xu Luo was also very excited. Originally, he just wanted to rely on Paul to make a name for himself, but he didn't expect that the other party would apply for him to enter the academy.
If he can pass, he can add [Massachusetts Institute of Technology] to his identity information in the future, and if he adds the name of an economist.
I dare not say that he can travel sideways in any country, but at least this level of status is of no harm to him.
He thanked these professors one by one.
Thanks for their help.
After leaving the publishing house, Paul submitted this application letter to the school immediately.
……
The time has come, Monday, May 12th.
On this day, for people living in Boston, they seemed to be witnessing a miracle.
Because the "Boston Globe" reported: "The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced today that they will make an exception to admit a young man with a deep study of economics."
"It is reported that this 20-year-old young man named Xu Luo, although he has never attended any university, easily passed MIT's SAT exam, GPA score test and ACT score with extremely excellent results."<
/p>
"At the same time, the master's degree is required to complete the credit courses specified in the graduate education plan, and the advanced research thesis and doctoral defense required to obtain the doctoral degree are also required."
"Therefore, MIT not only made an exception to recruit him to the school, but also granted him a doctorate as an exception. He was called a student who 'took less than a month from enrollment to graduation.'"
"It is worth mentioning that although this young scholar does not have any school education, he has published an academic book and 20 papers that have been praised by several economists."
"And it was jointly recommended by several professors from Harvard and MIT..."
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar.
Some people even think that they are wrong. After all, MIT’s admissions can be said to be extremely strict.
First of all, you need high school course preparation, standardized tests, academic achievements, and recommendations from outstanding people, etc.
Indeed, Xu Luo currently does not have any academic qualifications.
However, his academic research has been jointly recommended by professors from the Department of Economics at MIT and Harvard.
The numerous names on the recommendation letters all prove that he has passed the assessment of these people.
The books and papers published at the same time all prove that he has real materials.
Secondly, whether it is the SAT test, GPA score test, etc., he knows it all well, and the answers are no problem at all.
In his final bachelor's degree, he not only passed 17 courses and scored 180 points on the exam, but those 20 papers were enough to meet the assessment required for a doctorate degree.
Generally speaking, there are 4-5 defense committee members for a doctoral defense. It is like giving an academic report. After the students report, they will ask questions and discuss, then a show of hands will vote whether they passed the defense, and then applause and congratulations.
But his doctoral defense had as many as 10 defense committee members.
