Chapter 318 Senior Brother Huanggang
"Okay, thank you, Professor Yu, for giving us a wonderful speech. I'll set aside half an hour for you. If you have any questions, you can ask Professor Yu for advice."

The student union cadre stepped onto the podium again, and while exaggeratingly smirking, asked Yu Jian to sit down on the chair next to him, while speaking into the microphone to the students in the classroom.

"Brother Xiaohua, don't you and my dad always whisper about Professor Yu behind your back? Now that you have a chance, go up and talk about it." He Lan gently pushed Lin Zhenhua and said.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "I don't study economics. I don't understand what he said. I just know that what he said is wrong."

"You are just stubborn." He Lan said, "Professor Yu said so well, and the four Asian tigers, they all do this, why can't we do it?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "The four Asian tigers can do this, but we can't. We are a big country, and the development methods of big and small countries are definitely different."

"Then you go and talk about it." He Lan encouraged.Her psychology is also very contradictory. On the one hand, she hopes that Yu Jian's lectures will convince Lin Zhenhua, so that Lin Zhenhua will be in awe of economic theory; Show off.

Lin Zhenhua did pull Yu Jian to debate, but he knew very well about his economics background, which was almost zero.There are many ideas in his mind, but these ideas are difficult to express in terms of economics.In addition, he also has some evidence from the practice of later generations. If he speaks out now, I am afraid it will only make people laugh.Thinking of this, he rejected He Lan's instigation, sat in his seat peacefully, and waited for the lecture to end.

At this time, several students had already raised their hands to ask some questions, and Yu Jian answered in a few words, winning applause.The cadres of the student union were full of excitement, and encouraged loudly: "Great, if any of the students still have questions, don't miss this opportunity to ask Professor Yu for advice!"

"I have a question!"

On a seat in the middle of the classroom, a handsome boy stood up and raised his hand to signal to the student union cadre.

"Old rules, please report your name, major, and grade." The student council officer pointed at the boy and said.

The boy smiled faintly and said, "I'm from the Department of Industrial Economics at the 86th grade. As for my name...my name is Huang Gang."

The cadre of the student union said: "Okay, welcome to Huang Gang, if you have any questions, please ask Professor Yu for advice."

Huang Gang said: "I think Professor Yu's theory of the global cycle completely confuses the difference between a big country and a small economy like the four Asian tigers. This theory may be applicable to the four Asian tigers, but it is not true for China. , this theory is completely unrealistic!"

"boom!"

As soon as this remark came out, the whole classroom exploded. Some people turned their heads to see who was so arrogant, while some people who knew Huang Gang began to tell anecdotes about this person to the students sitting next to him. The face of the student union cadre suddenly turned purple, and he was almost about to go berserk.

On the campus back then, it was nothing new for students to stand up and question professors. In previous lectures, there were also cases where students stood up and challenged the authority.However, Yu Jian is an expert valued by the central leadership, and his theory of the global cycle is spread in various media. Huang Gang, a freshman in his second year of university, dares to call Yu Jian's theory completely unrealistic. Deliberately smashed the place and demolished the student union.

"Student Huang Gang, please don't be sensational. You said that Professor Yu's theory is whimsical. May I ask, do you have theoretical support? If you can't tell your theoretical basis, then please apologize to the whole school for your remarks just now, because You have ruined the reputation of our Renmin University students!"

Renmin University deserves to be called the second party school. The words of the student union cadres are so righteous and impeccable that even if they are written into the resolution of the party congress, people can't find fault.

Huang Gang said something to the students next to him, and the students next to him stood up one after another, making way for Huang Gang who was sitting inside.Huang Gang squeezed through the crowd in the aisle, walked to the podium, and said to the student union cadre, "Please give me a few minutes, and I will prove the error of Professor Yu's theory."

"You..." The cadre of the student union was held back. He turned his head and gave Yu Jian a questioning look. Yu Jian waved his hand and said, "Let him talk, we advocate the contention of a hundred schools of thought, ha ha, ha ha."

His words were quite clear, but his laughter was obviously a little stiff. It seemed that this expert was also driven mad by Huang Gang's arrogance, but it was inconvenient to show it in front of everyone.He has already secretly thought about it. When the student finishes speaking, he will stand up and criticize severely. He will not save any face for the other party, and let him see what a policy economist is. Uh, say Wrong, in fact, we all call ourselves political economists in front of people...

Seeing that Yu Jian had agreed, Huang Gang picked up a piece of chalk from the podium, drew a coordinate system on the blackboard, and drew two horizontal straight lines, then said to the students in the classroom:

"Students, please see that according to Professor Yu's point of view, developing countries can import raw materials from abroad, process them at home, and then sell them abroad to earn the difference. Let's take Hong Kong as an example, assuming that this is where Hong Kong comes from. The price of raw materials imported from abroad is the price of finished products exported abroad. These two price curves are both horizontal. According to the micro theory of Western economics, we can regard Hong Kong as a manufacturer. The price of is determined by the external market and is not affected by its supply behavior. Because there is a gap between the two price curves, Hong Kong is able to reap the benefits of this production.”

Huang Gang's narration does not conflict with Yu Jian's point of view, but Yu Jian's previous explanation did not use such graphics to express.The students didn't know why Huanggang introduced such a figure, so they were all silent, waiting for Huanggang's next words.

Huang Gang turned around, drew another coordinate on the blackboard, and then drew two sloping curves, one sloping from top to bottom, and the other sloping from bottom to top.He continued:

"The graph just now described the price curve faced by Hong Kong in the large import and export trade, but the current graph reflects the price curve faced by our mainland China in the large import and export trade.

This downward-sloping curve is the price of raw materials in the international market, and what it shows is a rising trend.Let me take the example of the refrigerator and compressor mentioned by Professor Yu just now.

From our point of view, Hong Kong is a small economy. If it wants to produce refrigerators, it can only produce 10 or 20 units a year, so it needs to purchase 10 or 20 compressors.Such demand is negligible for the international compressor market, so it will not affect the market price.

But for mainland China, it is completely different.If mainland China were to produce refrigerators in a way of large imports and large exports, then the annual output would reach 1000 million units, or even 5000 million units.If all compressors rely on imports, the demand for these 5000 million compressors will have a great impact on the international market, which will greatly increase the price of compressors in the international market.

Conversely, when we buy these high-priced compressors, produce refrigerators and then sell them on the international market, the price of refrigerators will drop sharply due to the large increase in supply, which is the downward sloping line. straight line.

As you can see, as my country's participation in the global cycle increases, the prices of raw materials continue to rise and the prices of finished products continue to fall. In the end, the profits left to us will be very poor.Moreover, once an economy as large as our country is caught up in the upstream or downstream, it is impossible for us to find even a little room for maneuver. "

"Well said!" Lin Zhenhua couldn't help shouting, and the stunned students in the room suddenly came to their senses, and there was thunderous applause in the classroom, which was a bit higher than the applause for Yu Jian just now.He Lan raised her hands and patted desperately, and she didn't even realize that her hands were red all the time.

In fact, what Huang Gang said is very simple. The four Asian tigers are all small economies. What they buy or sell in the international market has no influence on market prices at all.This is equivalent to retail investors in the stock market. As long as they see the price difference, they can buy or sell, and earn the price difference from the rise and fall of the stock price.

However, China is a large economy. If an export processing industry with large imports and large exports is engaged in, then no matter whether it is buying or selling, it will directly affect the market price.When you buy raw materials, the price of raw materials skyrockets; when you sell finished goods, the price of finished goods plummets.This is equivalent to a big investor in the stock market. When you see the stock price has fallen, you want to buy it at a low price, but when you sell tens of millions of shares, the low price you were originally optimistic about will be thrown into the sky by yourself in an instant. Can you still make money from it?

Yu Jian's theory of the global cycle, to put it bluntly, is the stock trading experience of the four small upstarts of the Asian Tigers. It is no problem to get tens of thousands of dollars for a small fight, and maybe you can earn a few packs of cigarettes.But to use such a theory to guide a big banker with hundreds of millions of funds how to trade, it would be laughable and generous.

There are many time-traveling novels in later generations that have such plots, the traveler relies on a market in his memory, mobilizes hundreds of millions of funds to earn the price difference, and earns a lot of money all at once.In fact, such a story is untenable in theory. It is reasonable to transfer tens of thousands of yuan of funds to catch up with a market. If you transfer hundreds of millions of funds at once, you will become the market yourself. What difference do you want to make?
"Professor Yu, look..." The cadre of the student union turned his head to look at Yu Jian who was sitting beside him, and he noticed that Yu Jian's face had also turned purple now.Obviously, what Huang Gang pointed out was the key to his theory, and Yu Jian was speechless, unable to justify himself at all.

"What Huang Gang said just now is very good." Yu Jian stood up, smiled awkwardly and said to everyone, "Academic contention, that's how it should be. Although there are many errors in Huang Gang's point of view, this kind of The spirit of daring to think and dare to question is very worth learning. Although I am very interested in discussing this issue with Huang Gang, due to time constraints, I will leave it to the students to discuss.”

"Please give us warm applause to express our gratitude to the professor for his wonderful speech!" The cadres of the student union hurriedly announced the end of the meeting.Applause broke out again in the arena, but this time the applause was not exclusive to Professor Jian.

　... Once again, the novel is purely fictional, and any similarities are purely fictional.
