Chapter 391: Being a Student
From the previous life to this life, Feng Xiaochen has not entered the school for almost 20 years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Academy of Social Sciences has arranged many courses for new graduate students, including traditional subjects such as political economy, materialist dialectics, selected readings of the original works of Marne's classics, Chinese economic history, and socialist economic thought, as well as some courses that help students broaden their horizons, such as vulgar economics, introduction to the world economy, and post-war capitalist economic history, as well as public courses such as English, mathematics, and computer science.
Feng Xiaochen studied engineering in his previous life, and had little contact with the theory of economics, although he often had to deal with economists in his work and learned some concepts, but a lot of knowledge was not systematic. The teachers who gave them lectures were all experts in the domestic economics field, with solid theoretical foundations, and they were smart and wise, and they were able to explain some very profound concepts in a simple way, which made people suddenly realize.
Feng Xiaochen threw himself into his studies with a hungry attitude. He is young, receptive, and has a wealth of work experience and experience that can be used to support the theories in the certificate, so his understanding of the course content is far above that of other students. In just one or two months after entering the school, he already has a sense of being reborn, and his perspective on many economic issues is very different from before.
Qi Ruicang, Xie Keli and Ding Shikuan are all graduates of economics majors from prestigious universities, and they have a certain foundation, so they will not feel difficult to listen to these economic theory courses, but if they want to draw inferences from one case and combine theory with China's future practice, they are not as good as Feng Xiaochen. After all, in the era when Feng Xiaochen lived, the economic theories of the 80s were already a little outdated and naïve, and nowadays, everyone still regards these things as if they were Guigao.
Wang Zhenbin and Yu Rui belong to the "difficult households" in learning. Although Wang Zhenbin was born as a veteran college student, he systematically studied some economic theories when he was in college, but after so many years, he has almost forgotten everything he should forget, and now he is not confused, and his learning ability is far less than that of the younger generation, and it is quite difficult to listen to lectures. Yu Rui is a worker, peasant and soldier college student, saying that she has gone to college, but in fact, at least three of the four years have been writing "big critical drafts" of various contents, and she spends much more time studying editorials than she does studying economic theory.
However, these two people are also calm. They were originally here to gild, and they didn't need to learn too much in theory. When the teacher is lecturing, he will find some practical cases to analyze for everyone, and will also intersperse some anecdotes in the economic field from time to time, which is not only to enliven the classroom atmosphere, but also to let students understand the economic reality. Wang Zhenbin: What they have learned from these cases and stories is enough for them to use for the rest of their lives.
As for exams, there's no need to worry. In this era, those who can go to graduate school are all top-notch, and teachers don't care about their studies at all, so many courses can be obtained by submitting a course paper, and even as long as they are not absent from every class, the teacher will happily give an "excellent" evaluation.
The most troublesome for graduate students are the public courses: English, mathematics and computer applications. The public courses are offered by the Graduate School, because the Academy of Social Sciences did not have an independent teaching place at this time, but temporarily borrowed a teaching building of the Normal University for public teaching, so every time it was time to take public classes, the graduate students of the Institute of Strategy had to get up early in the morning and take a dozen bus stops to the Normal University to attend classes.
Including Qi Ruicang and other college students who have resumed the college entrance examination, almost all of the students have a poor English foundation, almost blank mathematics, and they have never even seen a computer, and these public courses have become a common nightmare for first-year graduate students.
Feng Xiaochen came from a later generation, and he was born in engineering, and he was extremely proficient in English, mathematics, and computers. After following his classmates to attend several courses, he directly sent an application report to the Academic Affairs Office of the Graduate School, requesting exemption from these public courses.
After the two chatted in English for an hour, the teacher reported to the Academic Affairs Office that Feng could not only be exempted from taking English, but also hire him as an English teaching assistant when necessary, or make a cameo appearance as a German or Japanese teacher, which would definitely not be worse than the teacher hired from the School of Foreign Languages.
The mathematics teacher was more rigorous, and according to the teaching requirements of first-year graduate students, he produced a mathematics paper including first-order differentiation, matrix multiplication, and classical probability for Feng Xiaochen to try. Feng Xiaochen didn't even use the scratch paper, so he finished the paper and got a high score of 99 points. The 1 point deducted is said to be because the math teacher is afraid of his pride, so he forcibly deducted the format points.
The computer teacher was even more interesting here, he came up with a few questions and asked Feng Xiaochen to program in the BASIC language. Feng Xiaochen scratched his scalp for a long time and told the teacher that he was not very good at BASIC, and whether he could write in C. After reading the C language program written by Feng Xiaochen, the teacher was amazed and pulled Feng Xiaochen to chat about the development of computer technology for a long time. Later, Feng Xiaochen helped the teacher apply for a research topic on enterprise resource management software development from the Heavy Equipment Office, and the teacher became an authority on ERP in China more than ten years later, which is the later story.
Suddenly exempted from the three most physically and mentally demanding courses, Feng Xiaochen suddenly became the student with the lightest study burden in the class and even in the entire graduate school, and there were no classes for three days in a week, which was enough to make everyone's eyes red with envy.
"What, skipping class again?"
In the room of Lin Bei Heavy Machinery's Beijing office near the front door, Meng Fanze teased with a smile while helping Feng Xiaochen pour tea.
After Meng Fanze retired from the position of vice minister, he rarely went to work in the Ministry of Coal, and most of the time he stayed in the office arranged by Lin Bei Heavy Machinery in the office to read the information and receive relatives and friends. He still holds the title of honorary general manager and chief consultant of the Jingwei Enterprise Consulting Company under the Economic Commission, and if his physical condition allows, he has to spend one or two months every year to inspect enterprises across the country, and after he returns, he will write some work summaries and hand them to the leading departments at all levels. According to his wife, he is even busier now than he was when he was deputy minister. Of course, an old man like Meng Fanze, who has been a leader all his life, is better when he is busy, if he is allowed to be idle, it is estimated that he will have to lie down for a year and a half.
Feng Xiaochen has always regarded Meng Fanze as a respectable old-timer, and he has to come to visit every once in a while. Meng Fanze also likes this flexible and agile young man with great ambitions, and the two get together to talk about specific technical issues such as 25 cubic meters of excavators from the international and domestic situation, sometimes for two or three hours.
Feng Xiaochen thinks ahead, not only books, not only superiors, and often puts forward some shocking opinions, which provokes Meng Fanze to blow his beard and stare at him, and even slap the table and scold. At the beginning, Wu Ximin, the director of the office, was worried that they would collapse, so when he heard that the sound was wrong, he hurried over to play a round. Later, he found out that the two of them were arguing, and Meng Fanze's face looked ugly, but as soon as he turned around, he forgot about Feng Xiaochen's offense. Several times, Meng Fanze angrily claimed that he didn't want to see Feng Xiaochen anymore, but after a few days, if Feng Xiaochen didn't come, he would have to talk again, saying that this little rabbit cub had hard wings, and he dared not to visit him......
Alas, the gap between people and people is too great.
Thinking that he waited for Meng Fanze every day, and Meng Fanze never cared about himself like this, Wu Ximin could only sigh at the unfairness of life.
Every time Feng Xiaochen came to Meng Fanze, he would bring some small gifts. Sometimes it was a special product brought by Nanjiang or Songjiang, sometimes it was some small European commodities sent to him by Yan Leqin, and when there was really no special gift, he would also buy two catties of apples in the market and put a box of Poria sandwich cakes and the like. Meng Fanze also reprimanded Feng Xiaochen at the beginning, asking him not to bring gifts, and as time went by, he understood that this was Feng Xiaochen's heart, so he didn't say anything anymore.
What the old man used to repay Feng Xiaochen was that every time Feng Xiaochen came, he would personally help Feng Xiaochen make tea, and he also introduced what and where this tea was, and how precious it was. Just an allusion to Maofeng in Huangshan, Feng Xiaochen has heard Meng Fanze tell it no less than 20 times, he understands the old man's mentality, he listens happily every time, and pretends to be intoxicated and tastes tea, making the old man smile happily.
When Feng Xiaochen went to the Academy of Social Sciences to study for graduate school, Meng Fanze also made a contribution. He even hoped more than Director Zhang and Luo Xiangfei that Feng Xiaochen could have a chance to further his studies and comprehensively improve his theoretical skills so that he could undertake more important work in the future. After Feng Xiaochen entered the school, every time he came to Meng Fanze, Meng Fanze had to ask him about his academic situation, if Feng Xiaochen was not exempted from study, but really skipped class to see Meng Fanze, I am afraid that the old man would have to really get angry, and then pull Feng Xiaochen's ears and send him back to class.
"Don't tell me, I'm really planning to skip class for a few days lately. ”
Feng Xiaochen took the tea handed over by Meng Fanze and said with a somewhat serious expression.
"What's the matter?" Meng Fanze asked with concern.
Feng Xiaochen nodded: "Yes, there is something to do, I have to leave the capital for a few days." ”
"Is it your construction machinery company?" Meng Fanze asked again.
Feng Xiaochen said: "It's not, on the construction machinery side, there are Yang Haifan and Mr. Zhang Guodong staring, and now it's going well, I don't have to worry about it." I went to visit Director Luo yesterday, and I heard him say that there was something wrong with the big fertilizer equipment, and he was also having a headache. ”
"Regardless of him, he kicked you out at the beginning, and now that he's in trouble, let him solve it himself!" Meng Fanze said domineeringly.
