Located at the West Gate of the National People's Congress, Nanzhuang Farmers' Market is a very ordinary farmers' market, where agricultural and sideline products from Daxing or neighboring provinces and cities are transported here every day to supply the capital's food needs. The Third Ring Road of this era is not the Third Ring Road of 20 years later, it is not prosperous to that extent, and there are no large shopping supermarkets, so this kind of farmers' market is also needed to meet people's needs for grocery shopping in the morning.

In the past, most of the people who came here to buy vegetables were nearby residents, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly, but today a group of young people in their early twenties suddenly came.

These young people, they are full of vitality or fashionable clothes or holding textbooks, it is not that these people can't come to the farmers' market to buy vegetables, it's just that they are obviously incompatible with firewood, rice, oil and salt, and it is normal to come one or two occasionally, but today it is surprising that so many people suddenly came at once.

Could it be that this is a topic of study? Or are these students being bewitched by foreign hostile agents, and they are going to come here for a walk again? Although there was no uproar about the arrest of foreign hostile agents before, the old citizens of the capital still received the news and felt that something unusual, could it be that these students were also brainwashed in some way?

Many people stared at these sudden students, and all kinds of ideas kept pouring out of their hearts, especially these people are still middle-aged women, old men and women, and they are the most gossip and most interested in gossip, so the surprise and bizarre discussion is even more powerful.

Compared to the surprise of these people, even these students themselves were also surprised, they didn't expect that they would come to a place like the farmer's market, and they couldn't figure out that they still came here to take classes. Surrounded by old men and women who came to buy groceries, these students felt very cramped, restless and uncomfortable.

"How do you feel about this farmer's market?"

Zhou Ming's sudden question made all the students stunned for a moment, they obviously didn't expect Zhou Ming to ask such a question.

The students looked at each other, and finally the class leader Chen Shu stood up and said: "Teacher, we really don't understand why we are here, this is a farmers' market, we are students in the finance class, our responsibility should be to work hard to learn advanced financial knowledge and build and defend the domestic financial system from being invaded by Western countries, instead of watching them bargain for vegetables and vegetables at the farmers' market." ”

Chen Shu's tone was very cautious at first, but with Zhou Ming's acquiescence, his tone finally became affirmative, as if he was justifying himself.

After listening to him, Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to speak, but thought for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "Do you think it's a shame to come to the farmers' market and be with these people who buy vegetables and those vegetable vendors?"

Zhou Ming's rhetorical question blinded the classmates, and Chen Shu, who was still firm in his belief and eloquent talk just now, could only answer in a panic at the moment: "Teachers are not like this, these people are all great working people, I respect them very much, I don't look down on them, and I don't think they are bad......"

Zhou Ming didn't wait for Chen Shu to finish speaking, he continued: "Then you just look down on the farmer's market, and think that the farmer's market is not suitable for your identity?"

After this question, the students in the finance class did not answer again, but although they did not speak, their proud expressions were already very good to express the answer.

Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly in his heart, in fact, Zhou Ming saw the faces of these students just now, so even if they didn't say anything now, Zhou Ming understood their answer, but Zhou Ming still had to continue to ask: "Do you really think that the farmer's market has nothing to do with you at all? If that's the case, then I can only say that I'm too disappointed, or that I overestimate you." ”

As Zhou Ming's words fell, the students were in an uproar, as if Zhou Ming was not saying a word, but a thunderclap.

"What's going on? Why did the teacher say that, is there some mystery hidden in this farmer's market? Or is there a certain pre-liberation financial expert living in this farmer's market? Or is there a foreign financial expert who secretly came to China, and the teacher happens to know him, so they just happened to be here today, or is that financial expert living here?"

Classmates, if you say it in front of them with another person, the classmates will definitely say that he is pretending to be coerced, but now that this person is Zhou Ming, the head teacher they respect and worship, they can only guess like this.

In the face of his classmates' expressions, Zhou Ming was really a little crying and laughing, he actually wanted to scold them, but these classmates respected him so much that Zhou Ming really couldn't scold.

In the end, Zhou Ming said: "You don't have to guess anymore, this is just an ordinary farmers' market, and there are no financial experts hidden." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Zhou Ming's words surprised the students, it was not that they had not thought of this answer, but none of them wanted to believe that it would be such an answer. So, the students asked me one by one, and the questions were different, but basically they were the central point, that is, they didn't understand why this was the case.

"Everyone be quiet, we have to believe the teacher, since the teacher brought us here, he will definitely have his reason!"

In the end, it was the shout of the secretary of the regiment Ye Ning that made the students quiet, Zhou Ming smiled and said thank you to Ye Ning, the little girl lowered her head shyly, and her pretty face was flushed.

This made Zhou Ming a little embarrassed, after all, after experiencing women like Su Han, Lin Muqing and Tang Ran, Zhou Ming was no longer the wood-like man in his previous life, and he could see a woman's mind to some extent.

Now the little girl's appearance is obviously a spring heart, but God testifies, Zhou Ming can swear that he doesn't have any crooked brains for her, just a simple teacher's care for the students, and the smile just now is just a simple praise for the student's sensibility, who knows that this little girl will be like this?

Zhou Ming has also heard that many girls will be full of fantasies or crushes about excellent or handsome male teachers when they are studying, but that is also in legends, who would have thought that their charm would be so great?

Zhou Ming is not the kind of person who will escape, since it happened, he will find a way to solve it slowly, as for now, he has to pretend to be an ostrich for a while and go to class first, he can't openly have a love class with the little girl here, even if the little girl doesn't blame, it's very bad.

Shaking his head and throwing all these things out of his mind, Zhou Mingcai said: "Students, I know that you don't understand what I brought you to this Nanzhuang Farmers' Market today, and even some students have some feelings, thinking that I am perfunctory or even making things difficult for you, but I want to say that I didn't, not only did I not perfunctory you, I still want to take you to understand what the essence of finance is, but in my own way." ”

"Teacher, what do you say is the essence of finance?

The students all answered Zhou Ming like this, and some even took out pens and notebooks, ready to record the important content of Zhou Ming's lecture in class at any time.

Seeing these actions, Zhou Ming immediately said: "Put away your notebook for me, I won't teach you any basic knowledge, all I can give you is the way to think, so I don't want you to write down what I say, I just ask you to think!"

In Zhou Ming's words, the classmates nodded suspiciously, but they did not put away the notebook and pen, but more people took out the pen and notebook, because they felt that what Zhou Ming was going to talk about next was something that would benefit them for a lifetime, and these things could not be heard anywhere else, so they had to write it down.

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and circled the farmers' market and asked: "I don't know what you see in this farmers' market, but I can tell you very clearly that I have seen the most basic financial economy." ”

The classmates were surprised again, but this time they weren't too excited, they just thought about it thoughtfully, or simply recorded Zhou Ming's words and thought about it later.

Zhou Ming did not sell the guan this time, he continued: "What is finance? We understand it literally, gold refers to gold, and melting refers to the financialization of yellow, so is it connected to the financialization of yellow? Yes, but the purpose of melting gold is to better circulate it. ”

"Of course, now we don't go out with much money to buy things after financialization, we all use money to buy things, so I want to say that isn't that the situation in this farmer's market?

Zhou Ming continued: "And businessmen sometimes encounter times when they can't find change, or when they don't have enough money to buy vegetables, so they can break the money, and if they don't have enough, they can borrow from friends." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming deliberately paused for a moment before asking: "Isn't this familiar to everyone, isn't the situation I just mentioned the prototype of the bank? And the bank is the most important part of financial activities, because if there is no money, the foundation of finance will be lost, then now everyone will still think that the farmers' market and finance have nothing to do with each other?"

Li Yang, the deputy head of the class, thought for a while and said: "Teacher, you must say so, but it is so difficult that we have to learn finance according to the situation in the farmers' market, so that we can establish a perfect financial system, which is better than that of Western countries?"

With Li Yang's words, all the students nodded, Zhou Ming sighed and said: "It seems that you still don't look down on the farmers' market, but this is normal, then I can tell you a story, the story of a pig seller and a little widow, everyone is already an adult and can listen." ”
