"Everyone, be quiet, now I'll start today's content"

Su Mo cleared his throat and said loudly: "I also saw it on the Internet when I came, saying that I Su Mo is talking about economics like a primary school student doing high math problems, bullshit, the reason is my age, which reminds me of the ......sages."

The microphone clearly transmitted his voice to all corners of the room, and everyone listened intently, wondering if this had anything to do with the sages. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Sun Quan was nineteen years old according to Jiangdong, Ganluo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, Kangxi was six years old to be the emperor, Beethoven was four years old to compose, Nezha was three years old to make trouble in the sea, and the gourd baby was born to fight monsters! Just ask me Su Mo, in the age of twenty and three, why can't you talk about economics! ”

The sonorous and powerful words resounded in everyone's ears, and everyone was shocked by Su Mo's domineering spirit at this time.

"Okay, Your Highness is really good!"

"Oh my God, he's so handsome, I'm really fascinated by him!"

The audience is a group of vigorous college students, at this time it is also like blood surging, crazy cheering, the scene is lively all of a sudden, those leading professors are really crying and laughing, and the media are nodding secretly, this trip is not in vain, it is always said that Su Mo has a mouth, and the living are said to be ghosts, not to mention anything else, this opening can become a classic, and it is estimated that it will be a hot joke on the Internet after it is spread.

"Of course, I know how many pounds and taels I have, and I really don't know how to do those advanced economics, so what I'm going to talk to you about today is some problems in life, or today's content is just to discuss a few trivial problems, and you don't need to take notes, how about it, I saw someone disappointed, haha, the notebook I brought is useless."

Everyone laughed, and some people put away their notebooks, wasn't this how they used to listen to lectures and so on?

After the crowd calmed down a bit, Su Mo looked around the audience and raised a finger in the eyes that looked at him:

"The first question, when you go to the supermarket, you should find one thing, the milk is in a square box, but the Coke is in a round bottle, why is that?"

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded, the milk was in a square box, and the coke was in a round bottle, which was really the case, but why? Where is this and why?

Seeing everyone's eyes wide-eyed, Su Mo smiled and said, "Which classmate can answer this question?" ”

Jinling University, as one of the top institutions of higher learning, students will naturally not be afraid, almost as soon as Su Mo's voice fell, a boy raised his hand high as soon as his eyes rolled, and Su Mo motioned to the staff to hand over the microphone.

"The answer to this question can be answered in the words of your previous senior, because if the milk is in a round bottle and the Coke is in a square box, there will still be people asking why, then they must have a container!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, even Su Mo was speechless, shook his head and smiled: "You have a lot of ideas, learn to cook with me!" ”’

It's a pity that no one present could understand the stalk in this sentence, so he continued: "Your answer is very ingenious, and you successfully slapped me on the back, young and promising, but I hope the answer is not like this, please answer this question from the perspective of economics"

But this time no one raised their hand to answer, because they really didn't know how to answer, and this question can still be related to economics? Even many teachers were inexplicable, but some people with flexible brains, such as the "famous economist" Mr. Wu Baibai, suddenly changed their faces, and he seemed to have guessed the direction of Su Mo's lecture.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I'll try to say it, almost all soft drinks are round bottles, but the milk is packed in square boxes, obviously square containers can make more economical use of shelf space, but these beverage manufacturers still insist on using cylindrical containers, one of the reasons may be that most of the soft drinks are drunk directly on the container, so the cylindrical container is more handy, offsetting the additional storage costs it brings, while milk is not the case, people mostly don't open the lid of milk and pour it down their throats”

"But even if most people drink milk directly in boxes, the cost-effectiveness suggests that they are less likely to be sold in cylindrical containers. Yes, square containers do save shelf space, but the space saved in the case of milk is obviously more cost-effective than in the case of soft drinks, most of the soft drinks in the supermarket are on open shelves, this kind of shelves are cheap, and there are no operating costs, but milk needs to be packed in the freezer, the freezer is very expensive, and the operating costs are also high, so the storage space in the freezer is quite valuable, thus increasing the income of using square boxes for milk."

After listening to Su Mo answer this ordinary question from the perspective of economics, some people suddenly realized, and some people were ignorant.

"I want to use this example to illustrate, in fact, economics in life is universal, it is not necessarily an obscure equation, but a way of thinking about the problem, just now I talked about the freezer, so the second question comes, why when we open the refrigerator, the refrigerator will turn on, but the freezer will not? Let's try to answer this question in terms of benefits and costs, who wants to give it a try? ”

It's this kind of ordinary question again, everyone is interested, and many people are eager to try after falling into contemplation, but they are afraid that what they say is wrong, but there is always one of so many people who is bold, and when Su Mo's gentle and encouraging gaze swept by, a girl in the business school who is known for being a top student stood up bravely.

"Senior Su, I'll also try to answer this question, whether it's in the refrigerator or freezer, the cost of installing a light that will automatically turn on as soon as it is turned on is almost the same, this is the fixed cost we learned in class, and it should be noted here that it does not change with the number of times you open and close the refrigerator. In terms of revenue, it will be more convenient to find things with a lamp in the cabinet. Since most people open their freezers much more than they do, it's clear that installing a light in your freezer has more benefits. So, since the cost of installing an additional lamp is the same, it is more cost-effective to install a lamp in a refrigerator than in a freezer according to the principle of cost-effectiveness. Senior, no, Mr. Su, am I right? ”

Su Mo smiled slightly and asked, "This classmate, what's your name?" ”

"Wang Kongqing, my name is Wang Kongqing!"

"Student Wang Kongqing, you said very well, it can be seen that your basic skills are very solid, and you are very talented, you can analyze the answer in such a quick time, please applaud Student Wang!"

Su Mo took the lead in applauding, and there was a burst of monstrous applause in the audience, Wang Kongqing was so excited that her face was flushed, and her heart was full of pride.

(Digression: A few years later, Wang Kongqing became the first female economist in China to win the Knoll Prize in Economics, when the reporter asked her who helped her the most to achieve what she has achieved now, she was gray-haired and cried in front of the world: it was Mr. Wensheng Su Mo, it was his encouragement in the unique class that day that made me go so far, I will always miss him, but unfortunately Mr. has passed away, I can't see the honor I have received now, this is my saddest thing...... ）
