On January 4th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, Zhonghai triumphed.

Because on January 5th in Geneva, Switzerland, there is an annual Bordeaux wine tasting that Bian Xuedao must attend, so Ben Xuedao has to leave today.

Fly from Yanjing to Munich, Germany, and then transfer to a direct flight to Geneva.

Knowing that Bian Xuedao was going out today, Shan Rao got up early and cleaned up this and that, for fear that Bian Xuedao would leave something behind and delay things.

Entering 2008, Shan Rao seems to have changed back to the same her in college, practicing and calm, doing things simply, directly, and not dragging her feet. In the past month, because of the establishment of the Yanjing branch, Shan Rao began to pay attention to Bian Xuedao's career, and often discussed business matters with him at home.

After breakfast, it was still early, and the two sat opposite each other and chatted.

Shan Rao asked Bian Xuedao: "Will this financial crisis have a negative impact on Youdao?"

Bian Xuedao flipped through the newspaper of the day and said: "Excellent companies are an opportunity to expand when the economy is not good, and the premise is to maintain the cash flow of the enterprise." Many companies will restructure in a crisis, and this is an opportunity for good companies. An excellent enterprise does not look at the expansion of the rising period, but the survival of the downward period, survive the winter, the competitors are gone, and the spring can open up new vitality. ”

"By the way......" Shan Rao continued, "Uncle asked me to ask you what you think about this financial crisis. ”

Stopping to flip through the newspaper, Bian Xuedao looked up at Shan Rao: "Ask me? The leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission must have seen farther than me." ”

Shan Rao said: "Just talk about it, and I can reply to my uncle." If you weren't on a business trip, I'd take you to my uncle's house. ”

Closing the newspaper in his hand, he said, "Your topic is too big......

Seeing Shan Rao looking at him pitifully, Bian Xuedao hurriedly said: "The external financial crisis is very likely to trigger internal economic landmines. In the coming period, the direct expression is that the economic figure will weaken and the growth rate will decline. The most important thing is, and I personally believe that this is not a simple cyclical phenomenon, but a structural recession. ”

Seeing Shan Rao nodding while listening, she continued to learn: "Periodic recession, just like getting a cold in winter, it will be fine after a while." However, structural decline is caused by internal inflammation, and if surgery is not used, it will not be cured by taking medicine alone. ”

"For quite some time, there has been an imbalance between domestic demand-side investment demand and consumption. The lack of consumption is not caused by weak demand. As for why there is insufficient demand, I think the core reason is that the current distribution of national income is in favor of the government and enterprises, and the proportion of residents' income is declining. ”

While learning the Tao and talking eloquently, the more Shan Rao listened, the more serious she became.

"On the other hand......" Bian Xuedao said gesturing with his right hand at the dining table, "the growth of investment products exceeds the growth of domestic purchasing power." Our country is now the third largest economy, and in terms of manufacturing, most of the production capacity has reached the first place in the world, and to whom should the products be sold? The overcapacity and insufficient investment demand mentioned are relatively limited domestic purchasing power, and the demand for the demand is insufficient. Why is domestic demand unable to keep up with the growth of production capacity? ”

Shan Rao thought for a few seconds and asked, "Will the government come to the rescue?"

Bian Xuedao shook his head lightly and said: "The disease is brought about by structure, so only structural adjustment must be made to correct these structural imbalances, otherwise, just burning money will not cure the disease." In addition, it is useless to superstitious about the power of the government, and no matter how strong the government is, it will not be able to support the economy, and no matter how strong the government is, it will not be able to support the market. Quantitative easing has had no substantial effect on restoring balance sheets, and decades of zero interest rates have not saved Europe and Japan. But then again, if you really adjust the structure, you will have to die, not to mention anything else, for the sake of environmental protection and pollution control, you don't know how many people will be laid off. Of course, there is another way to go, to find new growth points for the country's economy, as a hedge against the shock waves caused by the explosion of economic landmines. ”

Shan Rao's eyes rippled when she heard this, and she said, "I haven't seen how you read books, how do you understand so much?"

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I always read books secretly. ”

Shan Rao said: "If you are a civil servant, you will definitely have a much better future than me." ”

Bian Xuedao teased Shan Rao and said: "There is a saying outside, doctors don't want their children to be doctors, teachers don't want their children to be teachers, businessmen don't want their children to be businessmen, only civil servants want their sons, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law to be civil servants." ”

Shan Rao smiled bitterly and said: "This is really true, since I was in elementary school, my family has wanted me to be a civil servant, and this wish has not changed until I go to university." ”

Seeing Shan Rao's wry smile, Bian Xuedao comforted her and said: "The civil servant is very good, decent, and stable." But to be honest, when I helped you apply for this position, I applied for it just because you couldn't pass the exam. ”

Shan Rao looked at the newspaper in her hand and said: "Over the past few years, I have come to understand a truth - wrong things will only happen at the right time." ”

………………

Geneva, the second largest city in Switzerland.

This is the first time Bian Xuedao has come to this famous city, because he has seen the Geneva Conventions in various terms in textbooks and in the news N times.

When you come to Geneva, you really understand why the city is consistently ranked in the top 30 of the "World's Best Cities to Live In".

The Grand-Hotel-Kempinski-Geneva where Bian Xuedao stayed was booked by Dong Xue for him.

One day earlier, Dong Xue had already gone to Geneva to wait for him, and this wine tasting meeting was Dong Xue's long-awaited world for two.

The annual tasting on the evening of the 5th was small in scale, but it was very grand, and all the European celebrities invited to attend.

At the tasting meeting, Bian Xuedao met the real Beckham for the first time.

Uh, no......

In the 2003 Yanjing "Dragon and Horse Battle" between the Dragons and Real Madrid, Beckham also had Beckham, but at that time, Bian Xuedao was in the stands, much farther away than now.

On the night of the tasting, Bian Xuedao, the oriental face, naturally attracted a lot of attention. Interestingly, when introducing each other, when talking about Weibo, very few people know about it, but when it comes to the birthplace of "touching the navel with the backhand", many people immediately realize.

When it came to Bian Xuedao's football club, Beckham came over and chatted for a while.

This tasting gave Bian Xuedao a deep feeling of European wine culture, and at the same time allowed him to touch a little bit of the "excitement" of the European upper circle.

From the 6th to the 8th, Bian Xuedao and Dong Xue walked hand in hand all over the streets and alleys of Geneva, places of interest.

On January 9th, unable to bear Dong Xue's hopeful eyes, Bian Xuedao took Dong Xue to board a flight from Paris to New York to participate in the annual tasting in New York on January 11.

On the plane, Dong Xue, who was sitting next to Bian Xuedao, thought to herself: "How good it would be to change this tasting meeting to once a month." ”
