Chapter 25: The Price of Freedom

That's right!

How I didn't remember.

As soon as Shen Jiannan said this, Huang Guoqiang woke up tremblingly and picked up his briefcase.

But I don't know if the briefcase is too heavy or if he is too old to open the briefcase with a hidden buckle.

"Yellow Beast, do you need me to help you?"

“......”

Finally, Huang Guoqiang took out a big brother from his leather bag with trembling hands, but at this moment, he didn't have the courage to press the numbers on it.

His subconscious was telling him that everything was fake, and Shen Jiannan wanted to humiliate him and win the bet if he made such a move, as long as he revealed the truth, all conspiracies and tricks would disappear under the sun.

That's Finland, how can it be broken by one person to destroy the credibility of sovereignty.

But his intellect and eyes were telling him that everything was true.

If this call is made and it is confirmed that it is all true, there is no hope.

To fight, or not to fight!

Huang Guoqiang never wanted to call, and it would be so difficult to choose to make a phone call.

The picture of the projector continued to play frame by frame, Shen Jiannan had no interest in Huang Guoqiang at all, freedom and fairness always require a strong foundation, in the face of facts, what is the difference between playing and not fighting.

Finally, the progress of the picture in the projector reached Italy.

"Italy is a major member of the European Community, and we are confident enough to defeat the international financial predators led by Shen Jiannan to defend the exchange rate of the lira. ”

“......”

Deutsche Bank President Schlesinger said that the stability of the exchange rate mechanism requires the depreciation of the currencies of some countries, and he especially pointed out Italy's weak economic foundation. ”

“......”

"On September 8, Eurotel, the Italian lira plummeted by 23 percent on the same day......"

“......”

"The Bundesbank lent Italy two hundred and sixty billion marks ...... out of the stability of the exchange rate mechanism"

“......”

"On 9.9, the Italian lira rose first and then fell, falling by more than 18 percent in a single day......."

“......”

"Spanish Finance Minister Carlos Solchaga said in an interview with reporters that the European Community represents the future economy of Europe, and he strongly condemned the international financial predators led by Shen Jiannan for undermining the economic order in Europe......"

“......”

"On September 10, the Italian lira plummeted by 23 percent, falling below the lower band of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. ”

“......”

"Italian Finance Minister Giovanni Glia announced Italy's withdrawal from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. ”

“......”

"The president of the Bank of Italy, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, issued a statement that the central bank will abandon the peg to the mark exchange rate and implement a free-floating exchange rate ......"

“......”

"Spanish peseta plummeted by more than 40 percent in a single day......"

“......”

Europe, the cradle of modern civilization and the source of the modern revolution, represents science in the new era, represents development and wealth, and carries glory and honor.

In Europe, even a street sweeper earns more than a domestic leader.

Hundreds of times as big.

Can ...... now

This is Europe now?

How is this possible?

"Why hasn't anyone spoken?"

"Didn't you say that Professor Huang and Teacher Shen were arguing, how could they be quiet. ”

"Let go, let go ....."

"Squeeze what squeeze. ”

"Who is so unsightly. ”

“......”

The silence of the birds upstairs made the students watching downstairs notice something unusual, but unfortunately, there were people inside and out, and they couldn't squeeze in no matter how crowded they were.

As for the students who were crowded into the classroom, they all felt as if they had lost their souls, and they couldn't believe what was happening on the screen.

Because, as the picture gradually progresses, the misconceived suicide news, crime news data, bankruptcies, demonstrations, and riots are presented on the projection screen behind the news.

It's like the end of the apocalypse, and it's like hell descending.

Suddenly, the projector frame comes to an abrupt halt and freezes on a clash between the police and the demonstrators, with smoke and dust from the burning tear gas canisters on the ground, making the whole scene seem like a dream.

At this time, Shen Jiannan suddenly spoke.

"Isn't it unbelievable?"

“......”

Quiet.

It's surprisingly quiet.

After more than ten years of dreaming about the world, I suddenly found that it seemed to be completely different from what I imagined, and the huge gap made all the students feel that everything they saw had a strong sense of unreality.

It's like, dreaming, absurd and unrealistic.

That's Europe!

Europeans are so noble and intelligent, their technology is so developed, their economy is so prosperous, and they even represent human civilization.

You must know that whether it is the modern industrial revolution or the modern economic theory, it was born in Europe, and the originator of modern medicine was also born in Europe and continues to innovate.

How could such a Europe be in hell of an economic collapse like on the screen.

Although a guy like Shen Jiannan doesn't have the fiery eyes of Sun Monkey, a pair of eyes can already see the facts and see through people's hearts, looking at the students around them who are stunned and lose their souls, I don't know how shocked these guys are in their hearts.

In this regard, he could only sigh helplessly.

The modern Western industrial revolution did not break the self-confidence of the Chinese people, and the Second World War reunited the strong and indestructible confidence of the numb people, but the economic disparity in the post-war decades, under the impact of repeated thoughts of some people more or less intentionally or unintentionally, that self-confidence was destroyed little by little.

They are all proud of a generation, and I really don't know how to create that miraculous leap in the original trajectory.

You know, faith is more important than gold.

If a person loses confidence, it is like a walking corpse, and if the country loses its national self-confidence, it is not far from being slaughtered by others.

However, under the impact of universal values and free thoughts, this country not only did not sink, but rose rapidly like a dragon.

In the thousands of years of history of the world, there is no second case of this phenomenon.

Shen Jiannan couldn't help but glance at Tang Jiefang, perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of this kind of person that he taught a group of students like He Yuanchao, and finally set things right, and crossed the river by feeling the stones, and never let the country be submerged by the tide of the times.

"Results are the only measure of truth, and time is the only criterion for testing this standard. ”

"Do you want to know why the economic systems of these countries are collapsing all of a sudden?"

“......”

"Actually, there is only one reason, freedom. ”

“......”

Prior to this, Professor Huang said that the rapid economic growth of Western countries in the past decade was based on the comprehensive opening of financial markets.

True, this is an indisputable fact. ”

“......”

"But freedom is a double-edged sword. ”

And this result is the price of freedom. ”

“.......”

"The reason why I was able to break down the currencies of these countries was because they didn't understand the definition of financial market freedom, so they rashly opened up the free financial market. ”

"I said it in class a few years ago. With the progress of the times, the power of finance is even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb. ”

“.......”

"So you can imagine that a country has a nuclear bomb, but it doesn't know where the nuclear bomb will explode and what the final consequences will be?"

“......”

"Freedom, that's the definition of the strong. If you open up to freedom without understanding the definition of the word freedom, you will be succeeded by those who really need it. ”

"Sun Tzu mentioned in the Art of War, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles......"

“.......”

"If these countries were still the same as they were ten years ago, I and the other partners wouldn't have any opportunities at all. ”

"Supply and demand determine value?"

“......“

"On the principle of fairness, it is true. ”

"But if, by the definition of capital, the strong should get the same reward as the weak, it is unfair. ”

Therefore, in the capital market, the relationship between supply and demand determines the value is simply a false proposition. ”

"It's like the Finnish mark. The mark depreciated by more than 58 percent in three days, and the demand for money is so unbalanced, why, if supply and demand determine the price, why is it concentrated in exactly three days, and so unbalanced?"

“.......”

"Of course. The theory that supply and demand determine the price factor is valid, and it is precisely because there is a huge selling and a lack of buying that the mark depreciates. ”

"But why is there a sudden surge in selling and a lack of buying?"

"That's the danger of capital speculation, even though I made a lot of money from it. ”

“......”

"Because Finland rushed to carry out a comprehensive financial reform, but they did not understand the risks involved, speculators were able to borrow a large amount of capital from the mark and make a desperate bet."

“......”

"The price of such freedom, then, is to be looted. ”

“......”

From an economic point of view, and then to the free positioning of the market, the economic laws summarized by Shen Jiannan in the 30 years of history after the 1510 lecture were taught to the students without reservation.

The economic theories that are completely beyond this era make students fall into a state of obsession as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

They never imagined that a simple economy could evolve into something so cumbersome and complex.

"Some people say that China's economic level and theory are still in the primitive stage, and there is a gap of nearly 100 years between China and Western countries. ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Not really. Politics and economics are a bunch of twin brothers, Professor Huang is not wrong about this, he just said something less. ”

"It is mentioned in the Tao Te Ching that the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss. ”

This applies to any law. ”

"And the economy was born under the world, which must conform to the rules of heaven. ”

"Well, it's the same as the core of politics, interests. ”

"Why can I win big in the European market?"

"It's simple. ”

"The husband who wins a lot without a fight has to count a lot. If you combine the laws of heaven with the definition of freedom, then you will know that this is actually a doomed result from the beginning. ”

And this result, as Professor Huang told you, is that the market has an invisible hand that will guide the market. ”

"That is, potential!"

“......”

"It is mentioned in the Book of Changes that the wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. ”

"That's what I saw, that's all. ”

"No one can warn a country's monetary system, and neither can I. ”

"But the financial market is actually a battlefield, and our ancestors have learned how to play this game. ”

“......”

"Actually, the economy is very simple. That is, if you don't understand something, you can play it yourself, play it, and then play with others. ”

“......”

"As for some universities, just because they're famous doesn't mean they represent the truth. ”

"Students. You must remember that only the truth that has been tested by time is the truth, and any so-called research or theory has no credibility until it has been proven by practice. ”

"It can be referred to, but it cannot be taken as truth. ”

"What is the truth? The laws of heaven are the truth. ”

“......”

Shen Jiannan, if he is not a teacher and becomes a pyramid scheme leader, he is estimated to be able to make a windfall.

First, there was a foreshadowing of the picture on the projector, and he quoted the classics and added an explanation, and the students present immediately felt as if they had been brainwashed, and their eyes burst out with a bright look that had never been seen before.

It turned out that economically, the things left by the ancestors were so powerful.

It was only after Mr. Shen thoroughly studied these things that he was able to defeat the sovereign credibility of the European powers.

It turns out that the things left by the ancestors can still be used in this way.

I didn't think of it before.

One law, ten thousand laws.

They are all the top elites of this era, and many people have the same economy, and many people then think of international politics, what if they use the philosophical ideas of the past to explain what the effect will be.

Involuntarily, a pair of eyes looked at Shen Jiannan feverishly, and fierce applause rang out.

A blank piece of paper that has not yet been painted with too much ink can be painted with more things, but Huang Guoqiang has spent half his life studying and studying Western economic theories, and seeing the strength of the West and the backwardness of China, that belief is almost no different from the pilgrimage belief of believers.

But now, his beliefs are useless by Shen Jiannan's words.

No one can tolerate the defilement of their faith, and no one can accept that their faith is tarnished.

"No way. It's absolutely impossible.

Western economics is an advanced theory that is unanimously recognized by the whole world.

All Ivy League economics professors at Harvard, Cambridge, and Princeton have published papers unanimous in their papers, and there is a consensus in the academic community about this.

Economics is a science, science knows no borders, and it is definitely not what you say.

...... on an economic basis"

Huang Guoqiang rushed to Shen Jiannan like crazy, wanting to grab Shen Jiannan's neck and question, but before Huang Guoqiang could get closer, he was stuck in the neck by Tang Dunhou like a chicken.

Regarding Huang Guoqiang's madness, Shen Jiannan's eyes crossed with sadness, but in an instant, it was full of cold ridicule.

"Science has no borders? You go and ask Mr. Qian to see if he will give you two slaps.

Academics unanimously agree?

Do you know how Princeton University came about?"
