Eight hundred and fifty-ninth chapter guest professor invitation
After a few days of living in seclusion, the tranquility was broken. A strange phone call came in. Fang Zhe was a little confused when he answered it.
"No, Uncle Liu, I am a businessman. You want me to attend some symposium of economists. Do you think too highly of me?" Fang Zhe instinctively refused. Are domestic scholars great? They are really great. For example, a certain
A person who has returned from swimming as a member of the Communist Party of China, or a certain Professor Wen from Minmin University, an expert on rural issues. (Please don’t comment on personal preferences and opinions.)
This is what Fang Zhe knows, but he doesn't know much more. In such a big country, there are so many scholars, and there are many powerful people.
"Don't be humble, just treat it like this and gain experience. I'll ask the driver to pick you up." Uncle Liu didn't give him a chance to refuse on the phone and hung up the phone directly. This made Fang Zhe very helpless.
Is this the way big guys behave?
It was in the afternoon, and the driver sent him to the State Guesthouse. Fang Zhe was taken to a room and met Uncle Liu who was meeting with people here. Seeing Fang Zhe, Old Liu smiled and said, "Sit down, wait for half an hour.
have lunch."
Do I miss your lunch? Fang Zhe couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he sat aside obediently and waited patiently.
The man who was talking to Lao Liu was a man in his fifties. After looking at Fang Zhe for a while, he took the initiative to smile and said, "Is it Fang Zhe?"
Fang Zhe stood up a little flattered and nodded with a smile: "It's me." This guy looked familiar, he must be a big boss. Judging from his seat arrangement, he should be almost on an equal footing with Lao Liu.
"He is the one who issued the prediction and judgment. The time will not be too long. The results will be seen in two months at most. Under normal circumstances, the results will be seen in April. The price of soybeans has risen again in recent days, and the domestic market price has exceeded
3,500 per ton. I have talked with Lao Yun several times in the past two days, and Fang Zhe, a young man, is very sensitive to the market." Lao Liu further explained with a smile.
The man opposite smiled and said: "I know that no one in China can figure out how much the actual owner of Peak Fund is worth. The prediction of the list is tens of billions of dollars. In China, the market value of Feida Group exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars.
Is it a billion?"
Fang Zhe tried his best to laugh with him. The pressure brought by this person was not small. The middle-aged man continued: "Xiao Fang doesn't need to be under too much pressure. The symposium organized this time is mainly to hear from scholars.
Their opinions. The country's economic growth rate was very fast last year. Judging from the existing data, this year's performance is expected to exceed last year's. The more this situation is, the more we need to listen to different opinions. You can't just listen to the hymns and not listen to the cold water.
if."
Fang Zhe was quite convinced by this. It is precisely because of these officials who can listen to their opinions that the domestic economic development is generally on the right track. For such a huge country with such a huge population base, as long as it follows a
Basically moving in the right direction, after accumulating to a certain extent, it will inevitably expand like a snowball.
Fang Zhe worked hard to play the role of a junior, listening to the teachings of the two men with a smile. He had no choice but to sit obediently. These were big guys at the same level or even higher than Lao Yun. Fang Zhe only had a little money.
After a while, lunch was ready, and the two big guys asked Fang Zhe to have a meal together. They also chatted a bit during the period, but Fang Zhe never spoke and was just listening. The middle-aged man asked strangely: "Xiao Fang,
Why are not you talking?"
"I am very aware of the shortcomings of my understanding of macroeconomics. It can be said that I am basically a layman, so I came here to gain experience." Fang Zhe answered humbly and put down his chopsticks. After all, the two bosses had finished their meal.
, I didn’t even drink at noon.
The reaction to these words was that the two big guys looked at each other and smiled, calmly as if they didn't say anything.
The secretary arranged the room, and Fang Zhe went to take a rest at noon. The symposium started at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Two big guys and a dozen well-known domestic scholars were participating in the conversation, and a strange guy got in.
I am a little guy! He kept telling himself this in his heart. Fang Zhe seemed very quiet and tried hard to hide himself.
This symposium is really just a symposium. There is a circle of sofas in a certain conference room, and everyone sits around and talks.
It's not a particularly formal meeting, it's just a mode where everyone can speak freely.
After sitting down, Fang Zhe looked at a piece of statistical material on the coffee table. Everyone had a copy. He took it and started reading. An old professor opposite the coffee table glanced at Fang Zhe doubtfully and did not initiate the topic.
He was watching the scene intently.
The two bosses made simple opening remarks. Only then did Fang Zhe learn that the middle-aged man's surname was Z.
Fang Zhe pretended to study the material, but actually kept his ears erect and listened carefully. In general, the experts and scholars present were all big shots, and their views on the domestic economy were generally positive, and no one put forward too drastic opinions.
.
After listening for a while, Fang Zhe lost interest. It seems that after joining the WTO, the domestic economic giant has started to turn, especially the plan to develop an export-oriented economy as the leader, which has brought significant results to the domestic academic community as a whole.
optimism.
Some scholars have also put forward some opinions on the problems that have arisen in some individual fields, but they are not drastic. After all, this is a large manufacturing country with a full industrial chain, and it is normal for individual problems to occur in certain fields.
Just when Fang Zhe thought there were no particularly new topics today, a scholar raised a question about some phenomena of foreign capital acquiring domestic companies, especially mentioning some domestic corporate mergers and acquisitions. When local governments consider investors, they are more
They tend to favor foreign investment. This directly causes some existing domestic famous brands to be shelved for a long time, leading to them fading out of the market or even disappearing.
"We should fully realize the value of brands. If one day our economy develops and becomes a de facto manufacturing power or even a big country, then the market will be full of foreign brands. I think we must try our best to avoid this.
Due to the occurrence of this phenomenon, some original domestic brands should be protected and developed."
After someone took the lead, another scholar pointed out: "OEM manufacturing and earning some labor surplus value should not be a long-term phenomenon. We must plan ahead and consider industrial upgrading in advance. The most typical example in this regard is a machine tool company in Northeast China.
, after taking an absolute advantage in the bottom-end CNC machine tool market, ten years later, it is still in the bottom-end market."
"I think it is better to become the world's factory first and then consider other issues." Some scholars are more realistic.
Scholars have become active and have all kinds of opinions. Now that the big guys are here, they will not come in vain. They must win some face for their schools or research institutions.
"There is an outstanding young entrepreneur here today. How would you like to hear his opinion?" When Lao Liu was not a human being, he really was not a human being. He put Fang Zhe on the fire with just one sentence.
With a quick glance, all eyes on the scene were directed at Fang Zhe. There was no way, the only one who dared to be called young here was this one.
When Fang Zhe was sitting on the wax, Lao Liu said more inappropriately behind him: "Don't look at his youth. He is the richest man in the country and a well-known entrepreneur. He is also a hidden giant in the financial field, and his Peak Fund is very prestigious."
Now he was really forced to do it, and he couldn't do it without saying a few words. The problem was that Fang Zhe knew what level he was, and it would be embarrassing to talk nonsense. There was no way, Fang Zhe racked his brains to think of a topic that would not be embarrassing, and finally decided
He found one.
"Then I will say a few words. They may not be correct. You can just listen to them."
Boss Z smiled and locked Fang Zhe to death: "Speak boldly, don't be afraid of making a joke."
"I studied Shi Mazhe when I was studying. According to Ma Sheng's theory, the Western capitalist economy has a fatal drawback, which is economic crisis. What I want to say is that if an economic crisis occurs, the export-oriented economy will account for a larger proportion of the economic structure.
Should we make plans in advance for how to deal with the problem?"
At this point, Fang Zhe stopped. Who can ask questions?
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet. Everyone was so familiar with the word economic crisis. Everyone seemed to look at Fang Zhe with a strange meaning. Fang Zhe could feel that the main connotation was doubt.
"Go on!" Boss Z broke the silence, looking very interested.
"When signing the WTO agreement, why did the United States have to bind its soft currency to the U.S. dollar? Everyone knows the truth. What I want to say is, if an economic crisis really occurs in the United States and affects the entire world, what will the Federal Reserve do? Now
The United States is fighting two wars at the same time. Where does the money come from? The Federal Reserve prints money. An export-oriented economy will inevitably bring massive foreign exchange reserves. When an economic crisis occurs, the Federal Reserve prints money and engages in indefinite quantitative easing. When needed
At that time, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, triggering a crisis in a certain country in the world, and the U.S. dollar returned to complete the harvesting loop."
The big guys at the scene were naturally able to understand Fang Zhe's routine, which was later interpreted countless times on the Internet. Fang Zhe didn't think that these big guys couldn't see this trick. It was just that the country needed development, and he could only take a step to see it.
One step at a time, each stage has problems to be solved at each stage.
Fang Zhe stopped. No one refuted him. Everyone was thinking. These problems are very real. No economist will say nonsense that there will not be an economic crisis in the United States. Capitalism will definitely have an economic crisis.
of.
"Go on!" This time it was Lao Liu who came. In fact, at this time, Lao Liu was complaining in his heart, "What do you mean by layman? Did you say that you don't know much about the macro field? I think you are right in every word."
Regarding the issue, this view is a bit too long-term, okay?
"No one can guarantee when an economic crisis will occur in the future or how it will be triggered. My personal view is that the consequences of neoliberalism's deregulation of financial capital after Li Gen must be that a certain economic crisis will be caused by
It was caused by Wall Street. When we return to China, one day it will really become a big manufacturing country. The inevitable result of industrialized large-scale production is overproduction. This problem can be solved by stimulating domestic demand through infrastructure construction. There will always be infrastructure built.
At that time, how can we solve the problem of overproduction?"
"Good guy, are you here to ask questions today?" Lao Liu couldn't help but smile and talk to ease the atmosphere.
"I like to think wildly, but I can't find the answer. My personal level is limited, so I hope you don't have to laugh."
Everyone liked the young man's modesty. The professor next to Fang Zhe couldn't help but say: "These questions raised by Xiao Fang fully demonstrate that his understanding of the world economic pattern is from a long-term perspective of development."
"This level is enough to become a professor in our school. Are you interested in being a visiting professor in our school?"
It is impossible to be a regular professor, but visiting professors are different. They do not need any academic qualifications, academic achievements and other rigid requirements. The key is whether this guy is recognized by the rankings as the richest man in the country and can become a professor.
, you can’t go empty-handed, right? You have to spend some money to repay the school, right?
The invitation set off the scene. There were many leaders from well-known universities among the other scholars. Someone at the scene soon spoke up: "Xiao Fang, do you know about Teito University? Come to the School of Economics as a visiting professor. I can do this job."
"Xiao Fang, don't listen to them. ZY University of Finance and Economics is where you should be a visiting professor."
"I disagree with what you say. Our School of Economics at Pudaokou Institute of Technology is also top-notch in the country."
The endless invitations made Fang Zhe very embarrassed. He accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall today and was picked up by someone before he talked nonsense. I didn't expect that these big guys were so generous, and it wouldn't be good for anyone to agree, right?
?
"Everyone, be quiet." Boss Z spoke, and everyone immediately fell silent. Boss Z continued: "Today's symposium was very meaningful. There were short-term views and long-term views. Some raised questions and some solved them.
I think the questions raised by Xiao Fang are of great research value. Experts and scholars, are you conducting some research on these issues?"
Lao Liu also said: "As for the guest professor thing, if Xiao Fang is busy, I can agree to it. Anyway, you don't need much time to go to class. On the premise of not delaying your business, you can boldly teach young people and teach
Express your own opinions. The academic point of view is for a hundred flowers to bloom. I think today’s symposium was a success.”
When the symposium ended late, Lao Liu conscientiously took Fang Zhe away and did not let him be surrounded by experts and scholars. As they walked together, Lao Liu said to Fang Zhe: "What you said
These questions have been raised by scholars before. If you are a scholar, you will not be too surprised. Some of these questions have not been raised by anyone and are of considerable research value."
"The current domestic atmosphere is not very good. Generally speaking, there is a lack of self-confidence. This problem is difficult to solve at this stage, and it can even be said to be impossible. We can only wait until the younger generation grows up and the domestic economy develops to a new stage.
.National self-confidence must be backed by strong national strength. Therefore, no matter how much you talk, it is better to work hard to do the things in front of you." Fang Zhe expressed his views sincerely while doing so.
"Haha, you little naughty boy, if you don't want to be a visiting professor, just refuse."
The main reason is that there are too many people, and it is not good to refuse anyone, Fang Zhe thought in his heart, it was still very exciting and exciting just now.
