Chapter 588 America = Beautiful Country
The campus in the early 1990s was probably generally quiet.
The enthusiasm for politics has ended, and the tide of the market has not yet rolled in. Young students have just stepped into the university gate from a group of high school students amidst the singing of "Long Time" in "Desire", and they are suddenly put into a city full of people. in an English environment.
Walking on the tree-lined avenue of the school, you will always see seniors and seniors sitting together alone or in groups, holding English books that you don’t know if you can understand them, carrying boring and Another boring English word.
The freshmen are full of curiosity and longing for everything. The vastness of the university campus and the prosperity of the city make these young people who have come from various rural areas or small counties across the country suddenly feel the vastness of the world.
Military training is another story.
The high-intensity training for half a year to a year makes the freshmen who have just entered the school look like recruits who have arrived in the army, and they all look wheat-colored.
And whenever there is time, the instructors who are the same age as the students will take the freshmen to take them to Changkong Island to shoot targets.
The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was fitted with a bayonet, and he repeatedly shouted: "Don't point it at people." Then he handed over the gun and the magazine, which contained five yellow rounds of bullets.
The gunshots were deafening, but they couldn't suppress the excitement and excitement in the students' hearts. With each gunshot, dust immediately flew behind the distant target.
It is common to hit other people's targets. When we go back to school and talk about the live ammunition shooting results in the shooting range, the students who are getting familiar with each other will burst into laughter, and the young faces are full of innocence and innocence. smile.
Huahai University, the school gate.
Shen Jiannan sat in the car and watched the freshmen in military uniforms coming and going, feeling really interesting.
Although most of the students look sallow and muscular, after half a day of military training, they can hardly see any complaints or exhaustion on their faces, that kind of energy and energy, as if military training is as simple as eating and drinking tea .
Thinking about the subsequent military training, it was like dying for the students one by one. Either some people had stomachaches, or some people fainted from the sun. Just in the military training every year, I don’t know how many students will have accidents.
"Jiannan. Let's walk in. It's too ostentatious to drive."
Lu Xinyue's proposal was exactly in line with Shen Jiannan's wishes. Anyway, the school was also his first home, so he didn't need to drive a car to pretend to be ostentatious.
The group got out of the car and walked into the campus.
The demeanor of the few people was clearly incompatible with the school environment, and they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.
Lu Xinyue was wearing a white dress with a string of evenly sized pearl necklaces around her neck. With her fair and delicate face, she must have a high rate of turning heads when walking on the street.
Peng San was even more conspicuous.
It's not a young man if he doesn't keep his head parted these days. This guy has a short cut, just like he was released from prison. He has a fierce complexion and a dark complexion, and there is a gold necklace as thick as a dog chain hanging around his neck, which is more eye-catching and more eye-catching.
As for Shen Jiannan, this guy has a majestic demeanor, bright orange leather shoes, a bright watch, and an outfit that looks expensive, and he is walking in the front, and his peach eyes attract frequent glances from the girls around him.
Following a pair of gazes, Lu Xinyue pinched Shen Jiannan's wrist angrily. She was very suspicious that this guy got out of the car on purpose to play handsome in front of the girls.
But a shameless bastard like Shen Jiannan reacted so quickly, he immediately found a topic to divert Lu Xinyue's attention.
"Xinyue, how many rings did you play during your military training?"
Still this trick worked, Lu Xinyue couldn't help laughing when she recalled when she was shooting at the shooting range.
"I didn't hit a single shot, and I was scolded by Peng San. What about you?"
Hearing this sentence, Peng San, who was walking together, was immediately happy.
"Him? Haha, this guy almost hit the instructor with his first shot. If I hadn't reacted and kicked him, the instructor would have been honored. Three shots missed and one shot hit my target. How can you two?" It's a natural couple, aim at your own people first when you get a gun."
Unlike later universities, military training for students is often organized by the school's armed forces department. As the school's physical education teacher, Peng San is naturally one of them. Coincidentally, that year, all the target shooting students of Lu Xinyue's class were changed from school to Changkong Island, and Peng San was the instructor responsible for instructing a group of them to shoot live ammunition.
Probably because girls are naturally afraid of guns. Peng San has been yelling not to shoot anyone. As soon as Lu Xinyue touched the gun, she nervously pointed it at Peng San. If it wasn't for this guy's quick reaction, it would have been a long time ago. He was fired with a single shot.
As for Shen Jiannan, it's not the same.
Just like what Peng San said, if it wasn't for his help, Shen Jiannan probably got a lot of trouble during the military training that year. It is also for this reason that he and Peng San have always had a very good relationship during the years of college.
However, Shen Jiannan himself was definitely not clear about this kind of thing, so he smiled a little when he heard it, and found it very interesting.
But when these words stopped in Lu Xinyue's heart, it had a different meaning. As Shen Jiannan's student, she was somewhat worried that she would not be accepted by others. Now that she heard Peng San Wuxin's words, she felt as if she had been eaten as sweet as honey.
Huahai University, which has just begun to expand, is not as big as the later generations, and the group of people walked along the main road to the intersection in the school soon.
"Jiannan, some of my classmates also studied abroad last year"
"Then if you want to go and have a look, then go, and I'll hang out with Lao Peng."
Returning to his hometown with honor, if he didn't go out and pretend to be arrogant, he would be sorry for his hard work. When he heard that Shen Jiannan was going to drag him around again, Peng San immediately became anxious.
"Don't. If there is any improvement in being with you, I will go and talk to Fang Tang and the others."
"Old Peng, you're still ruthless, aren't you? It's been two years, maybe they have children."
"Your thoughts are really dirty. You are both classmates and comrades. What's wrong with talking about it?"
"Then I'll be with you?"
"Master Shen. Please do me a favor and spare me!"
"Haha. I knew you were still obsessed with it."
"Can you forget Song Xiaodan in this life?"
"Can it be the same? Just look at the photo."
"Student Lu, Jiannan said he... ah."
"."
At the same time, a well-mannered middle-aged man was standing in a teaching building of the School of Economics, talking with the students present.
He looks to be in his early forties, but the sharp suit makes him look very energetic, and the bright tie, with his elegant and bookish aura, makes one feel that he is well-educated at a glance.
The middle-aged man is none other than one of the most famous professors in the school—Huang Guoqiang, a professor studying in the United States.
"Politics and economics are inseparable. The economic base determines the superstructure. The superstructure is the reflection of the economic base. Its emergence, development, and transformation cannot be explained from itself, but only from its The nature and content of the superstructure of the economic base, the superstructure is derived from the economic base, so the nature and content of the economic base determine the nature and content of its own superstructure.”
"."
"The level of production and employment is determined by the level of aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is the total amount of demand for goods and services in the entire economic system. In microeconomic theory, the automatic adjustment of prices, wages, and interest rates will automatically make the aggregate Demand tends toward the level of full employment."
"."
"The operating rules of the economy are the same as the movement of celestial bodies. It is a philosophy. The market itself has power. This power is like the orbit of celestial bodies. It has its own good rules. If the market mechanism is allowed to function spontaneously , can solve a series of macroeconomic problems such as unemployment and recession.
"."
"Just like the United States, the reason why the American economy is developed is largely supported by finance. The modern financial market has a very large influence on the economy. This influence, it is no exaggeration to say, has an almost decisive influence. .”
After parting from Lu Xinyue and Peng San, Shen Jiannan subconsciously walked along the campus to the place where he used to attend classes. When Huang Guoqiang talked about the influence of the modern financial market on the economy, he couldn't help but nodded.
As a coward, he knows too well how much influence the financial market has on the future economy.
It can be said that the financial pricing power is fundamental to the fact that the United States can affect the prices of global commodities and gold without bloodshed. The huge navy, air force and other armed forces only serve as a deterrent.
Isn't this old guy really dumb?
Huang Guoqiang, who was standing on the podium, did not notice Shen Jiannan's arrival, so he adjusted his glasses and continued.
"Take the Chicago grain market as an example. The Chicago Stock Exchange has a history of more than 100 years. With the continuous improvement of the forward market, the annual grain transaction volume in the Chicago market has affected the price of the global grain market. Because no matter what Whether it is for enterprises or farmers, the futures market provides them with a good tool to avoid suspicion."
"It is precisely because of the large number of forward grain standardized contract transactions that every change in the price of grain in the Chicago market will have a huge impact on the price and transaction of the global grain market. This is what we said before-financial pricing power .”
As he spoke, Huang Guoqiang turned his head and wrote a line of English on the blackboard—Pricing power.
Not to mention, Huang Guoqiang is a professor in the United States after all, and his English writing is flamboyant and beautiful.
The whole hall burst into applause.
With warm applause, Huang Guoqiang smiled and packed up the copywriting on the table and prepared to leave get out of class.
But at this moment, a student stood up from the chair.
"Professor Huang, you have been to the United States, can you tell us why the American financial market has pricing power over many global commodities?"
Huang Guoqiang, who was packing up the materials, paused for a while, and stretched out two fingers after thinking about it.
"First, freedom.
The basic national policy of the United States is freedom, and this is a country with a very high degree of freedom. The same is true in the financial market. Capital from any country can flow in and out of the United States at will without being affected.
Second, is fairness.
As we said before, the active intervention in economic policies mentioned by Keynesianism is harmful, and the market has its own power. If the government intervenes in the market, it is like the interaction of forces, which will not only destroy the structure of fairness, but also make the market worse.
And the United States has done very well in terms of fairness, in the words of one of my teachers.
In the United States, the financial market is fair to everyone, no matter whether they are born poor or rich, he can get the fairness he deserves in the financial market. "
