Hello, 1983

The small auditorium of the School of Economics of Peking University, a small auditorium that can accommodate 500 people, has long been full of seats.

The aisle was also crowded with students standing.

It is a rare opportunity for these students to be able to listen to lectures by the world's top economists.

Coupled with this era, the thirst for knowledge of college students is extremely strong.

Dean Hu personally presided over the meeting, his eyes swept down the stage, the entire venue was silent, and Dean Hu said:

Dear students, we are very honored to invite several world-renowned economic experts today. Let me introduce them one by one.

This is Professor Peter from the University, who is part of the President's Economic Adviser team.

In the warm applause, Professor Peter smiled and bowed.

This is the founder of the Quantum Fund, Mr. Soros, a well-known investor and philanthropist.

Soros stood up and bowed gracefully, and he was greeted by thunderous applause.

Economics, who doesn't have the dream of a billionaire in their hearts?

In fact, Mr. Soros does not want to come to this ancient country. In his opinion, although it has a long history, it has been left far behind in modern times.

Even the current economy is not as good as the tiny Hong Kong Island. There is no stock market, so he has no use at all.

If it is the island country facing the sea in the east, or some small countries in Southeast Asia, Soros still has some interest.

However, Professor Peter strongly invited him, and he regarded it as a trip.

Dean Hu continued to introduce: This is the famous investor Mr. Buffett.

Buffett also got up with a smile and waved his hand. His current fame is not as prosperous as he was later.

The last young talent is Mr. Wang Lie, the new president of Wang An Computer. Welcome!

The applause this time was also the most enthusiastic. Perhaps it was also because of the young people. Depending on his age, Wang Lie was not even a few years older than the classmates present.

But he is already the president of a world-renowned company, so why not make the classmates envious.

It's amazing! Liu Qingshan heard a whispering voice beside him.

Even Jiang Xue slapped the little slap vigorously, Liu Qingshan muttered in a low voice: Be careful not to slap the slap in the red.

I seem to hear jealousy. Jiang Xue also responded unceremoniously.

Liu Qingshan shook his head slightly: People who don't know the truth are really easy to regard people like Wang Lie as idols.

I wonder how they would feel when Wang An's computer fell like a meteor.

Wang Lie, dressed in a straight suit, politely stood up and bowed, but a careful person would surely notice that there was a strong sense of superiority on his face.

This time, he came to Huaxia with the intention of developing the domestic market.

The reason is very simple, Wang An computer is a little bit unsaleable in the United States.

It's not that there is a problem with their quality, but the reason for the positioning:

Under the general trend of the development of computers towards civilians, Wang An Computer still advocates a sophisticated line.

In particular, the company's R\u0026D team spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year.

This idea itself is not wrong, but without the support of sales, in the end it all became a castle in the air.

What a pity. Liu Qingshan sighed without thinking.

What a pity? Jiang Xue, who was beside him, asked in surprise.

Xu Changsheng, who was next to him, suddenly said, Besides the gold and jade, there is nothing left. Qingshan, do you think Wang An's computer is not good?

Liu Qingshan really wanted to give Xu Sange a thumbs up: Don't look at him as a boring gourd, but with his vision and analytical ability, he can't accept it.

Maybe it can be rescued. How about taking over Wang An's computer?

Liu Qingshan suddenly came up with an idea. After all, Wang An Computer is the pride of the Chinese. It is a pity that it fell like this.

At this time, the surroundings became silent again, and Liu Qingshan also shut up.

However, Jiang Xue, who was beside him, puffed out his cheeks and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, and it was so uncomfortable to hold back.

She really wanted to knock on Liu Qingshan's head and tell him: wake up, don't daydream, okay?

Professor Peter on the stage started to speak first, talking about the current world economic development.

Professor Peter was rigorous in his studies, used detailed data, and made a reasonable prediction. The audience continued to burst into warm applause.

Even the lecturers and professors of the School of Economics of Peking University were fascinated by it.

After more than two hours of lectures, there were hundreds of people below, and not a single one went to the toilet.

Many classmates are holding small notebooks and recording on them.

Fortunately, there was a professional translator when Professor Peter spoke, otherwise, with the level of dumb English of today's college students, I really couldn't understand much.

After Professor Peter finished the lecture and stood up and bowed, the audience stood up and the applause lasted for a long time.

Dean Hu also seemed more excited: if there were more lectures of this level every year, it would be like a rainy season for Beijing University.

In fact, when he received the notice that Professor Peter and his party came to Beijing University to communicate, he was also very puzzled: because experts of this level, even if they are officially invited by letter, may not be invited.

Dean Hu also raised his voice: Students, Professor Peter's lecture is really wonderful. I think everyone here has benefited a lot.

The collision of ideas will definitely spark sparks for the students, and the more we know, the more questions we must have.

The following is the question time given by Professor Peter. Please cherish this rare opportunity to communicate.

Wow, the students below are all excited.

Swish, swish, one arm raised high.

There are teachers from the School of Economics, passing microphones to the students.

At this time, there is no wireless microphone, and it is very inconvenient to pull a long cable.

Of course, teachers know their students, so they choose to have strong oral English and better learning, so as not to ask too superficial questions and laugh at them.

I saw a male student wearing big glasses took the microphone, stood back and asked:

Hello Professor Peter, what is your opinion on the current economic development of our country?

Professor Peter shrugged his shoulders: Students, I mainly study the economic systems of Western countries. As the saying goes, there is no right to speak without investigation, so unfortunately, I can't answer your question yet.

Although Professor Peter said it very politely, everyone in the room could actually hear it:

It is estimated that developing countries like Huaxia have not been seen by others, and naturally there is no need to study them.

At this time, people's national self-esteem was very strong, and a deep sense of unwillingness welled up in many people's minds.

Even Professor Peter is stating the facts without any contempt or disdain.

The boy with glasses was obviously stunned for a moment. His reaction was relatively quick, so he briefly introduced the price breakthrough that was going on in the country, which caused the price of commodities to skyrocket.

Professor Peter nodded: The formulation of an economic plan is a systematic project that requires enough data to be collected, so I can't give you a definite answer right now.

It would be extremely irresponsible for me to be rhetoric here.

This just reflects the rigorous academic spirit of Professor Peter, so although the students were not satisfied with the answer, they still applauded.

This is also Professor Peter's consistent style, but others don't. That Mr. Soros suddenly took the microphone:

I have a suggestion. You can try Jeffrey's shock therapy. When the economic crisis broke out in Bolivia, inflation was severe, and shock therapy was used, which achieved good results.

Everyone here is studying economics. Of course, they all know a little bit. This is indeed a relatively successful classic case. Even many professors are moved.

As expected of an expert! Liu Qingshan heard a low voice of admiration coming from his side again.

However, he scoffed at Soros's proposal: shock therapy has indeed been tested, but it is a small country like Bolivia.

You try it in a big country. When the Soviet Union disintegrates, Russia will immediately implement shock therapy. As a result, it is a real shock!

This kind of practice without investigation and research is absolutely taboo.

Liu Qingshan even doubted Soros's intentions: Don't look at him as a philanthropist, but in terms of economics, he is more cruel than an executioner.

As the honeymoon period between China and the United States draws to a close, Lao Mi is going to play carrot and stick again.

Therefore, the purpose of Soros and his line is up for debate.

This is not Liu Qingshan's malicious guess. There is indeed a lesson from the past. The Soviet Union was ruined by them.

The next few questions revolved around the specific implementation of shock therapy, mainly Soros answering, and he obviously did his homework.

Liu Qingshan noticed that in addition to the teachers and students of Beijing University, there were also leaders of relevant departments. In the end, the record might be presented to the highest decision-making level.

So he poked Xu Changsheng next to him and asked the third child in a low voice.

After listening to Xu Changsheng's point of view, Liu Qingshan nodded: That's enough.

Soon, Xu Changsheng stood up and indicated that there was a problem, while Liu Qingshan sat down a little lower, his head drooping down.

Although he would warmly entertain Professor Peter because that was the teacher he taught, but not on this occasion.

The teacher who handed the microphone also noticed that Xu Changsheng was definitely a top student in the academy, so soon, the microphone was handed to Xu Changsheng:

Xu Changsheng's English is very proficient: Excuse me, Mr. Soros, are you sure that shock therapy can be practical in our country?

He asked very bluntly, and even seemed a little rude.

Soros smiled and shook his head: I just provide an idea to solve the problem. As for the effect, it still needs to be verified by practice.

With so many people present, even Soros couldn't believe it.

This answer is like pouring a basin of cold water on, making everyone who felt hot blooded just now start to calm down.

Dean Hu on the stage also nodded approvingly: He is a good seedling.

Those who can not be influenced by others, follow others' opinions, but have their own independent opinions, can such people have higher achievements.

Xu Changsheng continued to ask: Mr. Soros, the core of shock therapy is stabilization, liberalization and privatization. The latter two are completely contrary to our country's current policies.

So in my opinion, this method is not applicable in our country, what do you think?

Xu Changsheng has this temper. When discussing a problem, he stays on the problem itself, no matter who the person on the opposite side is.

Soros was also a little annoyed when he was asked. He didn't expect that on the Huaxia side, there are people who have studied so deeply in shock therapy, and the other party is a college student.

After all, shock therapy in the economic field has only been proposed for two or three years.

Facing Xu Changsheng's somewhat aggressive question, Soros also felt the pressure. That feeling was like discussing academic issues with his opponents at the same level.

He pondered for a while, and then said: But if you don't even have the courage to try, how will you know the result?

Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't quite right, the teacher who was holding the microphone hurriedly asked for the microphone back from Xu Changsheng.

The teacher handed the microphone to the girl in the adjacent seat. In his opinion, the problem of the female classmate would definitely not be so acute.

Jiang Xue took the microphone: I want to ask Professor Peter a question.

Professor Peter has been on the sidelines for a long time, and he does not agree with Soros's point of view.

But after all, they are old friends for many years, and it is not easy for Professor Peter to argue with each other on this occasion.

He is a member of the advisory group, and of course he knows that the implementation of an economic measure is always cautious.

Just now we can change the subject, so Professor Peter smiled: I thought I was forgotten.

There was a chuckle below, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

Jiang Xue looked at Professor Peter with admiration: Professor, how can I become your graduate student if I go to study abroad?

This question is also a concern of many students, and everyone immediately became interested again.

But this question seems to have touched Professor Peter's sadness. He shook his head, his face gradually showed regret, and finally sighed:

I've really failed in selecting students.

The audience below couldn't help looking at each other: what's the situation, why did you start criticizing yourself directly, is this also popular abroad?

I just heard Professor Peter continue: I once wanted to accept a student as a graduate student, and he was a student from China, but he rejected me and chose to return to China...

The students below couldn't help but be stunned: Who is this, there is such a stupid person?

Under the stage, Liu Qingshan, who lowered his head, could not help but shrank down again.

But at this time, when Jiang Xue handed the microphone to the teacher who passed the microphone, the teacher slipped his hand, and the microphone just hit Liu Qingshan's head.

The distance is too close, even if Liu Qingshan reacts quickly, he can't avoid it, his head is smashed firmly, and there is a bang in the microphone.

Classmate, are you okay? The teacher was embarrassed.

Liu Qingshan could only raise his hand and waved it, and then he heard Professor Peter's exclamation from the stage: Oh, Liu, you are actually here.

When the old friends met, Professor Peter seemed very excited: Oh, this is the classmate I mentioned just now.

Liu Qingshan waved at Professor Peter on the stage, and then saw the students around him, all of them cast their gazes at him, as if looking at a fool.

For a time, the scene was embarrassing.
