Chapter 209: Black Monday

Just like October 19, 1987, this Monday is also full of black.

It was her first day to go to class, but Lin Dingqiang drank too much last night.

The considerate Xin Qing did not wake up Lin Dingqiang, who was sleeping heavier than a dead pig, and at 8 o'clock in the morning, he went out alone and went to the campus after a long absence.

When Lin Dingqiang woke up, it was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

In a groggy state, he murmured, "Daughter-in-law, I want to drink water." ”

But this time, in the empty apartment, there was no familiar voice to respond to him.

Lin Dingqiang sat up at this time, looked at his mobile phone, and was even scared of the hangover, so he quickly turned over and got out of bed, and said regretfully: "Drinking and making mistakes!"

After he finished washing up briefly, he hurried out the door, thinking about rushing to the Wudaokou Economic Management Institute before Xin Qing got out of class to greet Professor Xin on his first day of work.

It is not easy for students to enter the Wudaokou School of Economics and Management.

From the perspective of undergraduate classmates, one-third are the top ten in each province, one-third are the top 30 plus self-recruitment points, and the remaining one-third are guaranteed by major competitions.

In the first two years of undergraduate studies, general education was introduced, mainly learning Chinese writing and communication, English listening, speaking, reading and writing, natural sciences, social sciences, and of course, hair-making mathematics.

In the third and fourth years, I will change to the basis of majors, such as information management, accounting, or economics and finance.

Finally, when it is time to graduate, if only about 50 of the 200 students will choose to work, and most of the rest will choose to continue their studies in major universities at home and abroad to study for a master's degree.

By the time Lin Dingqiang came to the Economic Management Institute, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

He walked into the Weilun Building opposite the main teaching building, and found the lecture hall where Xin Xin was located according to the vague memory in his mind.

Although I haven't seen Xin Qing's appearance in class, I heard her confident voice.

"Students, this morning I talked about the swap transactions that existed in the Jinding insider trading case. Xin Qing's voice was very flat, "Then now I want to talk about a perpetual swap contract in digital currency." ”

Lin Dingqiang came to the back door of the lecture hall, sneaked in, and sat down in the last row.

Today's Xin Qing has changed the dress of haute couture ready-to-wear in the past, just a simple suit and skirt, and even jewelry and watches are gone.

But the ring still seemed to take root, growing on her hand.

"Swap contracts, also known as swap contracts. It is a contract between two parties to exchange a certain asset with each other at some point in the future. Perpetual swaps are one of the most popular financial contracts in the cryptocurrency space. This type of futures uses cash settlement and uses the price of the spot market to operate, creating the illusion that the proportion of funds is consistent with the spot interest rate. This type of cash-settled futures also suffers from significant problems with manipulation, concealment of true costs, and any form of long-term trading. ”

The students in the audience were confused as they listened to Xin Qing's speech, as if the new associate professor in front of him had a different way of teaching and imparting knowledge from other professors.

Xin Qing glanced at the audience with a smile, and then said: "However, physical delivery can solve these problems, thus forming a purer arbitrage mechanism between the contract and the potential spot market." ”

"Professor Xin, do you have any specific examples?" asked a female student in the audience.

Xin Qing nodded, "That's what I'm going to say next." Exchanges like Coinbase have swelled rapidly by taking the mechanics of the stock market and adapting it to the cryptocurrency market. But as the range of transactions in this digital space continues to expand, exchanges trading crypto-native assets are attracting the attention of Silicon Valley's top venture capital firms. Recently, there is a new exchange called Blade that will deal with perpetual swap contracts outside of the United States. ”

The boy in the first row asked, "Isn't that illegal?"

The exchange circumvented U.S. regulations and secured a first round of funding of $4.3 million from Coinbase, SV Angel, A. capita, and Slow Ventures. Xin Qing patiently explained: "Capital is often cunning, as long as the loopholes are used reasonably, it is not called illegal." ”

"Professor Nasin, do we have any other options after graduation besides these exchanges?"

Xin Qing leaned on the podium and answered the questions from the audience one by one.

"Everyone's choice is different, in addition to state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, foreign enterprises, I personally think the following consulting companies are also a good choice. "Xin Qing is like a big sister, transmitting her experience to the younger siblings in the audience who have not yet set foot in society," said McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company. ”

"Maybe you may be a little unfamiliar with their full names, but you must have heard of the abbreviation of the three combined. Xin Qing paused and said with a smile: "It's MBB." ”

"Don't you want to be pushed?" said the other boy.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made the dull classroom explode in an instant, but Xin Qing was not embarrassed by the noisy scene, she affirmed the boy's statement, and nodded with bright eyes, "Yes!

"That's the real name?!"

"Before I returned to China, I had dealt with these MBB consultants," Xin Qing recalled, "Essentially, they were a group of people who used their wisdom to provide services to enterprises and entrepreneurs. ”

"Then why is it called Mo Qiang!"

Xin Qing sneered: "Because these consultants are charged by the hour, the longer you talk to them, the more money you will pay." Therefore, if you go out and meet this group of people in the future, you must grasp the key point when you speak! Don't be pushed, and then they will really let you know what it means to be coerced! Of course, if you are lucky enough to enter these three companies, just listen to the money owner and talk at will! Have money!"

The audience burst into a tidal wave of laughter, and Xin Qing's humorous expression seemed to make the dull finance course less boring.

Ding Ding Ding ~~

At this time, Lin Dingqiang's mobile phone rang, and everyone's eyes were cast to the last row.

Lin Dingqiang hurriedly pressed the mute button, and apologized: "I'm sorry!

He then walked out of the lecture hall quickly.

After waiting out, Lin Dingqiang picked up the phone, "What's the matter?"

The call was made by Zhao Lei, and after hearing Lin Dingqiang's voice, Zhao Lei hurriedly said, "Boss, we have arrived at the winery." ”

"It's good to arrive!" Lin Ding asked puzzledly, "Why are you still in such a hurry?"

"But Xiao Tao and I don't know how to make red wine!" Zhao Lei said anxiously: "Boss, what year do you want to fill your 10,000 bottles of red wine? What kind of products do you have? You always have to give us a letter! We can't pretend blindly, right?"
