Chapter 22 Small Money
Subtitle of this chapter: Imperial Capital Half Set Courtyard House for New York One Phd.
Professor Owen Adams immediately reported the favor to him, and he turned to his colleague and asked, "Julian, what is your opinion?" ”
Professor Chandler replied, "Owen, I'm okay here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, it takes three professors to apply for a doctorate by skipping a grade, and now there is still one short. ”
Professor Adams waved his pipe and said with rare pride: "I believe that as long as Yuan's paper is written, Stern College will not find someone who is willing to co-sign with us......"
It is not uncommon for a Ph.D. to be produced among the students under his supervision, but the Ph.D. who can write such a masterpiece of theoretical economics naturally has a very different gold content. Who else will dare to say that they can only be bank counter managers in the future?
Professor Chandler nodded, "You're right. So ......"
He turned to Yuan Yanqian and said, "You must finish this paper by March next year." And...... You have to pay for it. ”
Sure enough, it is a capitalist society that is all evil, and everything has to talk about money.
Yuan Yanqian frowned and said, "But I have already paid the tuition, doesn't it include the cost of thesis defense?" ”
The two professors were stunned when they heard this, this Chinese made a mistake. Compared to completing a doctoral dissertation of at least three or four hundred pages in six months, what is the matter for a "gentleman" to pay some money?
But he was nicknamed "Good Old Guy Adams" (because his colleagues hadn't been to the women's ward, or didn't run into him when they did, of course.) With a good temper, he patiently explained: "Mr. Yuan, you paid the tuition fee for your master's degree, and now you are applying for a doctorate. Of course, it's different. ”
If someone pays two years of master's tuition, but waits to write their thesis and then applies for a doctorate, in case this guy really passes, isn't this equivalent to spending the master's tuition to become a doctorate?
Tangtang NYU is a private university, and it is not a night school. So you have to pay for it...... Then hand it over.
Professor Adams stood up, took out a file from the shelf, flipped through it, and said, "The tuition and fees for two years of PhD (Tuition & General-fee), excluding dorm and book fees (Room &textbook), are a total of eight hundred dollars. (Note: The 1920 Columbia University tuition fee is referenced here, but you don't have to take it too seriously.) )”
Is $800 a lot, but it's not much. In terms of purchasing power parity, it is roughly equivalent to 12,000 US dollars in the era of Yuan Hongji, and if calculated according to the price of gold (22 US dollars per 1 ounce of gold), it is equivalent to more than 300,000 yuan. If calculated according to the wage level, it is roughly equivalent to the current salary of skilled workers in the United States for one year. Of course, if you count by the "salary" of Ms. Ivanovna, it is 80 times.
However, this account can still be calculated in this way, at this time, 800 US dollars can already buy a house in full in the magic capital, and it is not a one-room household in the suburbs, but a duplex house of at least 100 square meters in the prosperous area of the city around the big world!
If you want to calculate the house prices in the imperial capital...... In 1919, when the May Fourth Movement took place, Mr. Lu Xun bought a courtyard house in Beijing, with more than 20 houses and a total price of 3,500 yuan. At the exchange rate, it is exactly twice as much as $800 and $1,600. This is a courtyard house within the third ring road of the imperial capital!
But even if the $800 can buy the Forbidden City, Yuan Yanqian still has to pay after all. Of course, he definitely didn't have so much money around him, so he had to write to his family to ask for it.
Now that he was about to say goodbye to the two professors, he heard the master ball make a strange noise again.
"Ding Ding Ding, the host obtains B coins, and the system is calculating ......"
"Dangdang, the host receives 17B coins, and the current balance is 20B coins."
"Ah, that's only so little this time?!"
"Please read the instructions carefully."
In fact, these two professors at Stern College can only be said to be unknown in history; However, the degree of understanding of the profession is still quite high; But because Yuan Yanqi's "Socialism" is now just an outline and a table of contents, I can't say whether I like it or not, I can only say that I am more optimistic. Moreover, these two are inevitably a little racist, and they want to give a big discount to the impression score.
In this way, in fact, according to the base of 5% B coins, 13B coins is not low, of course, compared to the 10,003B coins provided by Anastasia, it is a small thing.
Yuan Yanqian really doesn't understand why "Fifty Shades of Grey", which was casually given to the "Red Queen of Queens", can get so many B coins?
I was fooled by the master ball last time, so I must ask this time.
"Host, you're asking about this. Didn't I tell you last time, because this book greatly accelerates the speed of history in the right direction. And the lady who did a lot of popularization work, when she calculated the B coins she provided, because the variable multiplier was amplified, there were so many B coins. ”
"S/M is also the right direction of history?!"
"Of course. Host, do you know Michel Foucault? ”
"Is that the master of postmodernism and homosexuality?"
"Host, the system has found that you are very concerned about the sexual orientation of the masters."
"Cut, what do you know about the master ball, the theories of the masters of postmodernism are incomprehensible to most normal people, if they don't do something that normal people don't do, where do normal people like me remember?"
"The host doesn't have to keep flaunting that he's a straight man, it's completely a symbol of feudal backwardness in your time."
"Alright, answer the question."
"Michelle? Foucault believed that the end of the eighteenth century was the exact time when the S/M cultural phenomenon appeared. But in the following centuries, it was only a personal act of people, a purely private activity outside of social life, and it was not until the second half of this century that it gradually became an increasingly visible social and cultural phenomenon, and finally became a real subculture. ”
"And the host you have promoted this historical process, and it has completely harmed the development of the historical thread, so ...... Keep up the good work! ”
How hard do you have to work on this?! Is it possible to plagiarize "Lolita" next time...... Yuan Yanqian had a chill behind her, this is a three-year start.
At this time, Yuan Yanqian has already realized that he has to write this "Socialism" first, and then he can get some B coins from the academic circle of economics, and then ...... Do you want to copy "Brokeback Mountain" or "The Danish Girl"?
On his way home, he bought typewriter ribbons, standard manuscript paper, food, coffee, and cigarettes from stationery stores and grocery stores. There's no way, Master Yuan really can't keep an eye on his spirit without the two things behind him.
