Hu Mingchen's head of the department is named Qiu Cuizheng, who graduated from Xicai and later went to Fudan University to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, and before teaching at Langzhou University, he was a visiting scholar in the United States. At present, he is the head of the department and the doctoral supervisor, and in terms of age, he is similar to that Professor Gu, both in their forties.

I don't know if it's because of face or the rules in the system, Qiu Cuizheng is very respectful and polite to this Professor Gu. Otherwise, after listening to Professor Hu's speech, Hu Mingchen felt that it was not enough, and it was impossible for Qiu Cuizheng not to hear it.

Hu Mingchen feels that this Professor Hu is a bit of an endorsement of the real estate industry, that is, advocating this industry, so that everyone can invest money in it.

After Qiu Cuizheng said that he was allowed to ask questions, the students below raised a piece of their palms in black pressure, and some of them shook their palms while shouting in their mouths in order to get attention.

"Okay, this classmate, you are so excited, I'll give you the first rare opportunity, what do you want to ask Professor Hu for?" Qiu Cuizheng gave the first opportunity to ask a question to a female classmate with a headband on her head.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu, Professor Hu, I am a junior student in the Department of Business Administration of Langzhou University, I want to ask you, the outside world says that our country's economy can become the world's largest economy 20 years ago, is this an optimistic estimate or a pessimistic prediction?"

Professor Hu took a sip of the tea on the small table next to him, and then picked up the microphone next to him: "This female classmate, then let me ask you, do you think this is an optimistic estimate or a pessimistic prediction?"

"I ...... I think it's too optimistic, the gap between us and the United States is still quite large. The female classmate stood up again and hesitated.

She didn't hold the microphone in her hand this time, and the microphone had already been passed out, but because the venue was quiet, her answer was still heard by most people.

"Hehe, please take a seat...... Students, do you think we are pessimistic or optimistic? Do you think we can catch up 20 years ago?" Professor Hu pressed his hand on the girl, motioned for her to sit down, and looked at the other students.

If you ask so many people a question, you can't get any result at all, not only because there are all the answers, but also because many of the answers are disorganized.

"Alright, alright, quiet, thank you...... Be quiet...... I listened carefully just now, and on the whole, the majority of students still think they are too optimistic. This time, though, I'm on the side of the minority. The truth is not about the minority obeying the majority, haha. Let me put it this way, if measured by purchasing power parity, in no more than three years, our economy will be at the forefront of the United States. At our current rate of economic growth, in another decade or so, we will have no problem surpassing the United States in aggregate, even in dollar terms. After all, the U.S. economy is at 2.3 or 2.4, but ours is 10.7 to 10.9, which is more than four times faster than that of the U.S. economy. This is an arithmetic problem, and I believe that with everyone's mathematical level, it is not difficult to draw conclusions. I have a lot of confidence in ourselves, and I don't want my classmates to be too pessimistic. After calming the warm atmosphere of the scene, Professor Hu replied with confidence.

"The first question Professor Hu answered, so let's start the second question, who has a question to ask?" Qiu Cuizheng waited for Professor Hu to put down the microphone, and then took on his role as the host again.

Just like just now, there was a jungle of erected palms below, densely packed.

"This classmate, come on, see that your neck is raised high, this opportunity will be given to you. Qiu Cuizheng pointed to a tall boy with glasses.

"Hello Professor Hu, I am a sophomore in the Department of Sociology, and we all know that economic behavior is like a spider web, connecting all aspects of our society. I would like to ask whether the current structure of our society will change as the economy develops further. ”

"It's a very obscure question, hehe, but I'll tell you that it is inevitable that the structure of society will change. It could even be said that we are currently in the midst of change. Philosophically speaking, there is no such thing as an immutable substance, and society is the same. Society is made up of all kinds of people, and each of us is changing, so when we put it together, society is naturally changing. For example, in our rural areas and cities, there used to be a large rural population, but in the future, the urban population will definitely be much larger than the rural population, and this is a great change in the social structure. The reason for this is the inevitable result of economic development and urbanization. We are no longer an ancient agricultural society, at present the industrial society and the commercial society have occupied a leading position, for the sake of money, for the economy, the peasants will only turn more and more to the city, which is why I just said that our real estate market is just entering the spring, because just to meet the huge demand for agricultural to non-farming, we don't know how many houses to build, think about it. Professor Hu's answer, the first part of the sound is still like that, but in the back, he was pulled to the real estate industry.

Professor Hu really spared no effort in publicity, and it seems that he has gained a lot of benefits.

After that, Qiu Cuizheng named another boy and asked him to ask questions.

The boy asked a question about the master plan of the national urban agglomeration.

Professor Hu's answer is also decent, the urban agglomeration is first developed along the coast, and in reality, only the three major coastal urban agglomerations can be regarded as real urban agglomerations. As for other places, due to the limitations of geographical location and economic development level, their urban agglomerations are still in the embryonic stage, and even in many places, it is difficult for real urban agglomerations to appear.

“...... The three major coastal urban agglomerations basically account for half of our total economic output, and the foreign trade capacity is the vast majority, and more than half of the top 500 enterprises in our country are also in these three major urban agglomerations. As for other places, I can say very responsibly that it is very difficult to produce urban agglomerations of practical significance, such as Langzhou, which is a city in the south of Zhennan that can barely handle it, how can we build urban agglomerations? The best way for other provinces is to strengthen the provincial capital, first make a leading city, and then lead the area with a point, so that this is the right way. ”

The more he listened to Professor Hu's answer, the deeper Hu Mingchen's brows wrinkled.

This guy, on the one hand, is very optimistic about the country's economy, and on the other hand, he is not in a big way.

Objectively speaking, it is difficult for inland areas to develop urban groups like the three major coastal urban agglomerations, but it cannot be said that there is only one way to go with strong provincial capitals. If this is the case, won't other cities need to develop? If a country is huge, can a huge population be supported by a few cities?

If this is the case, why should the state engage in the large-scale development of the western region, and why should the state engage in the rise of the central region and the revitalization of the northeast?

However, many people felt that what Professor Hu said was reasonable, and applauded and affirmed him.

Hu Mingchen couldn't help it, and when he raised his hand for the fourth question, Hu Mingchen also raised his hand, hoping to get a chance to ask a question.

It's just that Hu Mingchen still didn't get this opportunity, and was got it by a girl in the computer department.

The girl was asking a more technical question.

"Professor Hu, we are now a recognized big country, but we are not a strong country yet, especially in the field of technology, and in many aspects we are backward and following. For example, if I majored in computer science, we couldn't develop a strong computer company, what do you think is the reason for this, is it because our technology soil is not good? Or is there something wrong with our policy?"

"This classmate, I don't think there's much value in answering the question you asked. The reason is that big countries are usually big powers, do you think we're just big but not strong? I don't think so. Even in the technical field you mentioned, we have made breakthroughs in all aspects. You say that we don't have a powerful computer enterprise, and this is a bit of a cover-up, isn't that what we want to do? In addition, we have a large number of software companies and Internet enterprises, and quite a number of them are very good, and in time, they will certainly regain their leading position. Students, we still have to be full of confidence in our motherland, not to mention, today is a world of currency, as long as there is money, as long as the economic growth rate is high, those technologies that we lack can be bought by mergers and financing. So as to realize that no one has me, and no one has me. We are an ancient country with four great inventions, which shows that there is no problem with our technological soil. As for the policy, there is no problem, our policy is very encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation. I even think that as long as our economy develops at a high speed, the shortcomings in other aspects will be consciously made up. ”

On the whole, Professor Hu's answer to the question feels like there is nothing wrong with it, but if you look closely, his answer is full of loopholes.

Is it true that a scholar and a great economist can look at problems so superficially? Hu Mingchen is really skeptical.

The last chance to ask a question, Hu Mingchen simply stood up and raised his hand.

"Hu Mingchen, what are you doing, everyone is sitting and raising their hands, I'm afraid it's not okay for you to stand up?" Seeing Hu Mingchen standing up and raising his hand conspicuously, Hao Yang pulled his pants and said.

"Nothing good or bad. Hu Mingchen lowered his head and responded to Hao Yang, and then shouted loudly to the stage: "Teacher Qiu, give me this opportunity, I also have questions I want to ask our guest Professor Hu, please give me this opportunity......"
