Kostler laughed, this kind of ridicule was of course rude if it was in a formal social setting.

Jonas glared at him, and he smirked at Yannick, who of course wouldn't reprimand him for being rude.

This is Yannick's double standard, being extremely strict with Jonas, but always more tolerant of outsiders.

In the past, Jonas did not understand, and at the age of seventeen, he could not understand the mind of a father who was full of expectations for his son, but now Jonas understands it very well.

But at this time, he still deliberately pretended to be unhappy and stood up and said, "I'm going to go back and write my investigation report, what about you?"

Kostler stood up and nodded slightly to Yannick and said, "Uncle Yannick, I have benefited a lot from my conversation with you today, and I hope to have the opportunity to ask you for advice in the future." ”

"Of course, to me, you're like another kid of mine, too. ”

Jonas was the first to get ready to go out, and Yannick said behind him, "If you can complete your homework before the fifth, can you let me see it first?" ”

Kostler happily said: "Of course. ”

Jonas was deliberately a little reluctant and a little shy, and said, "If you're at home then......"

Looking at the closed door, Yannick couldn't help but nod slightly. Although there are still some problems between him and Jonas, it seems that he has become much more mature and everything is going in a good direction.

After checking the upper and lower windows, turning off some of the unused electricity and heating, Jonas added a few large pieces of wood to the fireplace, closed the air inlet of the fireplace, and returned to his study.

Kostler's nest dove, already occupying his place behind his desk, took a chair and sat on the side of it.

Kostler compares the prices of industrial products, agricultural products, and various consumer products with last year's prices and creates a table by hand.

Seeing that he hadn't finished yet, Jonas also took out the form he had prepared and began to fill in the name and price of the product in it.

"Jonas, what is the phenomenon that the prices of agricultural products are rising and the prices of industrial products are falling?"

Jonas thought for a moment and said, "Supposedly, this is also a scissors difference. However, Switzerland is an importer of agricultural products, so its performance in this area sometimes runs a deficit. ”

"Scissors bad, what kind of word is that?" Kostler asked, looking up and a little surprised, "Isn't that something we've ever learned?"

Jonas got up and found a copy of "Self-Regulation of the Capital Market Environment" from the bookshelf next to him and threw it in front of Kostler.

You can take a look at this book, it's very interesting. I just retorted what Yannick said, and I learned from this. ”

Kostler looked through it and said impatiently, "Tell me about it first." ”

"The term scissors difference originated in Soviet Russia in the 20s of the 20th century. The term was first coined in Trotsky's speech at the Eighth Congress of the Russian Communist Party. Subsequently, both Lenin and Stalin used this term to criticize the industrial capitalists who possessed advanced production technology for exchanging industrial and agricultural products with the peasants with backward production technology, raising the prices of industrial products, driving down the prices of agricultural products, and exploiting the peasants by using the scissors difference.

In particular, the advanced countries used this method to plunder surplus value against the colonial and semi-colonial countries, and after the bandit plunder, it became the main mode of economic plunder of imperialism.

However, in fact, after the Soviet Union embarked on the track of peaceful construction in early 1921, in order to accelerate the accumulation of industrialization funds, the state artificially lowered the purchase price of agricultural products, so that part of the peasants' income was transferred to the industrial sector supported by the government in the process of exchanging industrial and agricultural products.

They are the countries that have really applied this mode of economic plunder the most widely, but they are the exploiting peasants of their own country. ”

Kostler asked: "What do you think is the specific reason for the reverse scissors gap in Switzerland, because our agricultural products need to be imported?"

The agricultural situation in Switzerland is more severe than in other European countries, where much of the land cannot be grown for food, but only grass because of the thin soil and limited fertility.

Sixty percent of Switzerland's land is mountainous, so no crops can be grown at all, and the remaining 40 percent, except for forests and lakes, about 25 percent of the land can be used.

However, most of the 25 percent of the land is pasture, and only 3 percent of the land can be used to grow food, and 3 percent of the land can be grown with cash crops, adding up to only 6 percent.

Moreover, because Switzerland is mountainous and cannot be cultivated on a large scale and mechanized, the cost of agriculture is extremely high, much more expensive than importing grain from abroad.

In order not to discourage peasants from growing grain and to improve their self-sufficiency in grain, Switzerland provides a large amount of subsidies to farmers who cultivate land every year.

"Although the prices of industrial products have fallen, the costs of the tertiary industry will not fall, and even the service fees in all aspects will increase. For example, transportation costs, handling costs, processing costs, so this is the main reason for the increase in the price of agricultural products in Switzerland. ”

"Okay, I know where to write. ”

Kostler put his head down and wrote again, and Jonas couldn't help but smile when he saw his concentration in his face.

Kostler is so casual with him, mainly because the relationship between the two is so good that they don't need to care about the details.

Crossing over to become Jonas, with such a true friend, his heart is still very warm.

In his previous life, he didn't have a real friend.

After graduating from university, he was sent to West Asia, then South America, and Africa. After working in Africa for a few years, he left the company and was mainly based in London.

I have been wandering around the world, although I have a wide social circle and many friends, most of them are friends of interest.

A truly trustworthy friend, not a single one.

And now, not only does he have a grandmother who loves him, but also two real confidants, and he feels that this world is much warmer than in his previous life.

Focusing on his homework, Jonas quickly got into it.

For Zhou Lei, who has been in college, not to mention this kind of simple comparative investigation in high school, it is not much of a problem to write a thesis.

This assignment was not difficult for Jonas in the original, and it was not difficult for him. However, he is still prepared to write as incisive as possible, because these extracurricular surveys, if well written, will also add points when applying to universities.

For him now, it is important to enter the university smoothly.

……

……

When I woke up in the morning, there was peace between heaven and earth. When winter came, there were far fewer birds and finches, and only the cold wind blowing through the windows could be heard, and occasionally a few dog barks could be heard.

Jonas got up from the bed, went barefoot and opened the window, a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver in only a pajamas, but he quickly woke up.

Outside the window, Lake Lucerne is also extraordinarily quiet in winter, with the ice edges that melt and freeze like a line of soldiers under the eaves of the third floor.

A small Xiaoice also formed on the upper edge of the windowsill, and Jonas folded it down, took it in his hand, and ran towards the guest room where Kostler lived.

In the guest room, Kostler did not look sleeping, and the person was already lying on the bed, with his head buried in the quilt, and only two feet could be seen.

Jonas lifted the covers and tucked the ice edge into his pajamas.

Kostler screamed, jumped out of bed, shook his pajamas, and smashed the melted ice edge at Jonas. "Bastard, you've disturbed my sweet dreams. ”

Jonas dodged the ice ridge and laughed, "Get up, let's go for a run." ”

"Don't even think about it!" he glared at Jonas again, then closed his eyes and pulled the covers over himself.

For teenagers who are sleepy, it does take a lot of courage and perseverance to get up early in the morning to exercise in the cold winter season.

Jonas didn't force him, went back to the house and put on his sweater, ready to go out for exercise.

Jonas, who has been living for 82 years, has accepted the arrangement of fate. However, he is not used to the somewhat uncoordinated body now.

In his previous life, although he had not systematically studied martial arts, when he was in Africa, he had studied with many mercenaries.

When he was in his thirties, he could easily compete against two or three foreign big men with his own not particularly good physique.

Regardless of the country, in addition to professional knowledge, such as the use of firearms, infiltration training, and wilderness survival training, special forces pay great attention to the training of individual force.

Free fighting is a project that the special forces of every country will learn, and the training of each country is much the same, and most of the training in the army is based on one move to defeat the enemy.

And it's a very practical training that goes far beyond other well-known training methods.

It's nothing more than because of different personal hobbies and different physiques, some people specialize in strength, some people specialize in skills, some people practice hands, and some people train legs.

This body is far beyond ordinary people because of his crossing, strength, and speed, but he does not have a quantitative standard for his body.

Having a good body and being able to play to the strengths of this body is the most important thing for him to get used to his current lifestyle.

Now that he has decided to continue to develop in the oil industry in the future, this industry can be said to be the most fiercely fought industry in the world, and having a good body can also enhance his self-confidence in the face of accidents.

However, in the past few days, he has not prepared to test the limit of this body, and there are no professional equipment at home, so he mainly focuses on recovering and getting used to this body.

Braving the cold wind and going out of the house, he first ran up and down quickly to warm up and down his body before learning aerobic jogging.

When the body cooled down, he began to run anaerobic again, and tossed like this repeatedly.

When Yannick got up, he saw Jonas leapfrogging up the steps with his hands on top of his head.

He dialed the guard's room. "Which of you taught Jonas training?"

“…… No one ......" confirming that no one had taught him, a hint of doubt flashed in Yannick's eyes.

(I have signed a contract, and I will watch two shifts a day in the future, at 0:05 in the morning and 12:05 at noon, each with a chapter of 3,000 words.) ）
