Chapter 154: Coercing Grandpa

Tian Hongmeng looked at Guo Zhuocheng in surprise, and asked in a panic: "What did you say, what Jenny, who is she......"

Guo Zhuocheng smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be very calm and said, "Yes." The woman is named Jenny Berry, a well-known economist in the United States, and the report says that her husband is in China and she has been waiting for him. ”

After Tian Hongmeng's brief gaffe, he timidly glanced around and said in a low voice, "I don't know her." Your little family, what kind ♀ of country do you say, can you listen to the reports of the country? Do you ...... Do you listen to the enemy? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said disapprerovingly: "How can you say that you are an enemy? Who hasn't listened to foreign radio occasionally, as long as you don't listen to it, it's fine. Besides, I listen to learn English. ”

In fact, in this era, there are not many people who listen to outside radio stations, and almost everyone who has a transistor radio has heard it, because the sound of those radio stations often comes out when the frequency is tuned.

It's just that everyone won't listen to it for a long time: even if they are reported and imprisoned, they can't get used to the soft and deliberately contrived voices of those overseas radio announcers, and the main purpose of overseas radio stations is to spread rumors, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Tian Hongmeng was stunned for a moment, and then asked in English, "What is that Jenny doing?" How do you know she's looking for me? ”

Guo immediately replied in English: "Last month, a well-known American economist was reported on the radio, and there was a paragraph about her personal affairs. She said a large part of her accomplishments came from an economics professor in China whose surname was Tian. I guessed it was you, Grandpa, right? ”

Tian Hongmeng didn't answer him, but asked, "Didn't she get married later?" She came to me...... What are you looking for Chinese? ”

Guo Shucheng smiled slyly and said, "Who knows what she does, maybe it's just thanks, or it's just missing." ”

Tian Hongmeng couldn't imagine that he was put on the spot by this little guy, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while. He said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense to me, I don't have to worry about my affairs like you juniors." ”

Guo Shucheng smiled and asked, "Grandpa, don't you want to know how your son is doing now?" ”

Tian Hongmeng lowered his head and walked forward, and after a while, he said: "People live well, why should I be bored? ”

After hearing this, Guo Zhuocheng finally understood why his grandfather in his previous life did not accept the other party's kindness, and why his grandmother died and he, a person who had done nothing in the economic world, was still unwilling to go abroad, mainly because of his self-esteem, and he would rather live a hard life by himself than accept her charity.

Of course, it can also be said that he has backbone, and the manly man will never look back.

Guo Zhuocheng said: "But this kind of family affection can't be erased, right? Although there is an academic gap between you and her, it is not your fault, it is caused by the general environment of China. You don't have any information from the outside world, and you are in an era when everything is according to plan, how do you study the economy? I don't think you'll be able to use it before.

For example, the price of commodities is affected by supply and demand, but the state stipulates that a pound of pork is only allowed to be sold for six cents and seven cents a catty, regardless of whether there is more meat or less meat. How do you research? At most, it is necessary to build a planning department to make appropriate allocation. A city with more people and less meat? Tune a wagon over! There are few people in City B, and there is no shortage of meat for the time being? Ten tonnes of supply will be reduced next month.

These things can be solved by the leader's words, and it doesn't matter whether you economists are involved or not, right? Hehe, of course, I'm just making a superficial analogy. If you start catching up with her academically from now on, you will definitely be able to catch up. ”

Tian Hongmeng was surprised that Guo Zhuocheng's English was so good, and even more surprised that this child understood things so well, much more understanding than ordinary adults, at least much stronger than his uncle Tian Weiqing. He said to himself: "No wonder he wants to skip a grade, no wonder he can be admitted to college at such a young age." ”

But he didn't have any confidence in Guo Shucheng's statement that he could catch up with Jenny academically, he was already a famous figure, how could he catch up with her after so many years?

Seeing his grandfather's disillusioned face, Guo Zhuocheng asked, "Grandpa, have you studied the situation in the Middle East recently?" ”

Tian Hongmeng looked at this amazing grandson in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with the Middle East?" Do you know the situation there? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Now that the country is slowly opening, it is impossible to go back to the past. Since you can't do an in-depth study of the domestic economy for the time being, why don't you do a study of the foreign economy? ......, now there is a revolution in Iran against Shah Shah, which will become more and more intense, which will inevitably cause destabilization in the Middle East. ”

Tian Hongmeng said helplessly: "I can only get some sporadic news from the "Reference News", how can I make a judgment on the situation in the entire Middle East? How to study the impact of the turmoil in the Middle East on the world economy? ”

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Why not? Mao Xi said that a spark can start a prairie fire, the flame of the Iranian revolution cannot be extinguished, and I believe that this Shah king will be overthrown soon. If the interests of the United States in the Middle East are damaged, and the oil in the Middle East will either not be produced or transported, then the world economy will not be bad? Isn't the price of oil skyrocketing? ”

Tian Hongmeng smiled bitterly: "If economic research is so easy, then everyone is an economist, and you don't need to go to any university, you can become a professor of economics right away." ”

Guo said sincerely: I have memories of the next few decades, which economist in the world has my cow? Even if he could predict economic development for decades, could he be as accurate as me?

Guo Shucheng asked: "Grandpa, if you just write according to the idea I just said, what materials do you need?" ”

Tian Hongmeng smiled: "What you just said is a nightmare, and there is no argument at all. ”

Guo Zhuocheng asked, "Then do you have any evidence to refute me?" ”

Tian Hongmeng was stunned again and said: "I didn't collect information about the Middle East, so naturally I can't refute it. ”

Guo Shucheng asked again: "If you collect evidence that can be refuted, do you dare to refute it?" ”

Tian Hongmeng was stunned again, and said in amazement: "Yes, do I dare to refute?" What he didn't say was: Do I dare to say that the revolution in Iran will not succeed? Could it be that the Iranian people's opposition to US imperialism is not a good idea? Am I just the opposite? Isn't it unmistakable against the President?

Thinking of this, Tian Hongmeng couldn't help but shudder: he was really frightened by the endless political campaign.

Guo Zhuocheng naturally knew what his grandfather was thinking, and he said: "So there is no harm in writing this article at all, and it fully meets the political requirements above." Even if the revolution in Iran does not succeed in the future, you will not be responsible, the revolution will always have twists and turns, but we must be confident ♀ in the future, do you say? ......, but if the Iranian revolution succeeds in the future, you will be a far-sighted sociologist and economist, and those who only know how to shout will also say that you have learned Mao Dong Thought well. ”

Although Tian Hongmeng agreed, he said in his mouth: "You are engaging in political speculation!" ”

Guo said: "It's not just that. It may be speculative for you personally, but writing it out for the country's leadership will be beneficial for our country to take the initiative in foreign trade and be able to benefit the country. Since it's good for both public and private, why don't you do it? It's better than staying in the office all day and counting some boring numbers, right? ”

Tian Hongmeng nodded rarely, and asked, "This is the purpose of your visit to the capital this time?" Does your dad know? ”

Guo Shucheng said: "Grandpa, the reason why my father became the secretary of the county party committee is why he is now prosperous is due to a large part of my credit. He was kind, sympathetic, and resolutely stood with the rightists, and that is what I persuaded him to do. I also encouraged the expansion of peasants' self-reserved land. Everything he did has now been recognized by his superiors, and the Shuidian County Printing House has summoned all rightists to print college entrance examination review materials, which I have also promoted, and it has been a great success. Now that the profits and taxes of the printing house account for 77 ♀ percent of the total income of the county, do you say that my father would oppose it if he knew that I encouraged you to write articles? ”

Guo Zhuocheng's boasting means undoubtedly saying: Grandpa, I am very smart and accurate, so you can believe me.

Tian Hongmeng's eyes widened, as if he didn't know this grandson.

Guo Zhuocheng said: "I ask my grandfather to write this paper with peace of mind during this timeβ˜† Fortunately, after writing it, I will send a copy to Ms. Jenny, and in another letter you can clearly tell her that the price of crude oil will rise sharply." By the way, her son is now the CEO of a financial investment company. He must be very happy to get this letter from yours and will be grateful to you, a father who has never met before, for giving him such important information. ”

Tian Hongmeng was completely speechless. It took a long time before he asked suspiciously, "These are all analyzed by you after listening to the radio?" ”

Guo Shucheng asked rhetorically: "Otherwise, how can you explain that my English is so good?" ......, grandpa, help, okay? In fact, his good English was taught by the grandfather in front of him, or he was forced by his grandfather.

"What's in it for you?" Tian Hongmeng asked strangely.

Guo Shucheng smiled: "Hehe, grandpa, you are asking the wrong question, you are treating me as an outsider to guard against me." ......, hehe, you are grandpa, I am grandchild, of course I am good if you are good, why is it not good for me? ......, grandfather, it's not me talking about you, you just care too much about your reputation, and you don't dare to take a step ♀ beyond the thunder pool, there is really no risk, only benefits.

I'm begging you for this, okay? If you don't agree, I'll go home and write it myself, and after I've finished writing, I'll send it out in your name to newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, the United States, and other places, and send it to Ms. Jenny. When the time comes, don't blame me for not writing well and losing your face, and when the time comes, the leader will criticize you for sending the manuscript directly to a foreign country in order to be in the limelight, don't blame me, this grandson. ”
