Chapter 130: There is a problem

The email itself is nothing new, but a slightly modified fundraising message by Professor Chester.

Chen Yi looked at it casually and didn't take it to heart. Cai Huaqing, who was not far from the front, attached great importance to this opportunity to show his face, and came to the seat in front of him with small steps, put away the books, and said with a smile: "Chen Yi, I haven't seen you for a few days, how about it, do you need help to pass?" ”

"By what?"

Cai Huaqing's face stiffened, thinking, am I a hot face and a cold ass?

But he still had to say something, and said with a smirk: "Through the professor's question, we have a ready-made answer here." ”

Cai Huaqing took out an English version of the tome, Keynes's "General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money". One corner of the book is a little damaged, and you can see that you have at least read it.

For an undergraduate, in addition to courage, it also takes a little idealism to read the original English book in the first year.

And Cai Huaqing, of course, is more of a show-off.

How many students are about to graduate and can't even read the title of a book in English. Although the students at Jiang University claim to be excellent, only 10% or even 5% of them can read a little English original.

Lin Yuan showed some surprised looks, which made Cai Huaqing more and more proud.

As a child of a family, you are not afraid of bloodshed, but you can't be ashamed - what is the difference between a faceless world and an upstart?

Chen Yi waved his hand and didn't answer Cai Huaqing, and couldn't help but think in his mind: If this thing knew that he should get the same ending as Ren Yuan, just one step away, would his mood be better or worse?

In his bag, he was carrying the bottle of cursed ink.

Privately, Chen Yi quickly translated the two questions into English, and sent the famous "simple answer" to Professor Chester.

As for visiting and reviewing the project or something, I didn't see it.

He comforted himself in his heart: I am here to make a good impression in front of Professor Lei. Domestic professors, after all, are different from foreign professors. Those liberal goods are simply unfamiliar wolf cubs, who only eat meat, and are reluctant to give away wolf hair. In the future, there will definitely be a place to borrow from others.

In about 10 minutes, Chester sent back an email, about six or seven hundred words of description, the first dozens of words similar to a textbook approximation, followed by a lot of speculation about the future, and a financial analysis. Obviously, he gave a tailor-made answer to Chen Yi's identity as a financial businessman.

He has many elements of discourse and few elements of analysis, and his words are as brief as possible, taking into account Chen Yi's non-English background, and he has done his best to explain that he can complete any economic analysis of the world market, and he lists his own honors.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

When Professor Chester received the email, he apparently thought that the emerging financial company was doing market research.

On Wall Street, scholars are like prophets, although they can't know what will happen in a certain year, month and day as depicted in the movie, but good scholars can always get some inevitable results under conventional conditions - for example, in the absence of major wars and disasters, will the world's silicon supply and demand in the next three years be balanced, or will it be tilted in which direction?

Whatever the conclusion of the scholars, the well-paid mathematicians hired by investment banks can design mathematical models for this purpose, and then create a new financial derivative to put on the market – for example, if the supply of silicon is tight, then downstream producers who need silicon as a feedstock will receive a declining weight score, and upstream suppliers who produce silicon and suppliers who supply upstream suppliers will receive an increased weight score......

In this way, through a series of relatively scientific analyses, it is almost certain that a financier will make money - the only thing that affects his money is the uncertainty factor. This is true of sunspots, nuclear radiation, war, and so on...... Often, a loss caused by uncertain factors may lose all the capital. This is also the reason why investment banking institutions care so much about risks, and slow earnings and more losses must not be compatible.

Bosses have losses and gains, while gentlemen who work for investment banks often receive high salaries for many years.

World-class professors like Chester often don't want high incomes, but ask investment banks, funds and other institutions to invest in their research.

This money can't fit into your pocket, but it's hundreds or thousands of times higher than your salary -- and given U.S. tax policy, payment institutions can treat the money as charitable and thus receive partial tax exemptions......

Unfortunately, Chen Yi only had to answer a question once in a classroom in China.

Professor Chester's hard work was in vain.

Chen Yi took ten minutes to find out the professional vocabulary, and then ignored the dumbfounded Professor Chester, just waiting for Lei Gonglu's explanation to end.

About three or four minutes later, Lei Gonglu waved his pen and said, "Each student has 1 minute to talk about your thoughts, the first one, Chen Yi." ”

He was impressed by the student.

Chen Yi, who was ready, was like a well-fed lion, and said in a relaxed and unnervous state: "Regarding China's labor market, I expect it to reach saturation in the next two or three years, and then there will be some new sublimations, such as the increase in labor prices, which will affect the operation of the world labor market in China......

He went even further than Professor Chester to abandon the textbook explanations and add his own understanding—Chester only dared to offer what he was sure of, such as the saturation of China's labor market, but Chen Yi dared to say that the price of labor would certainly increase. Because he has a different perspective from Professor Yang, who has seen more changes in the world labor market and believes that the transfer of labor is very easy to happen, while Chen Yi believes that China's labor market is more stubborn than other countries...... The power of the proletariat will be quite strong.

Professor Ray couldn't help but listen.

It's not that Chen Yi's theory is so new, but as an undergraduate, it is not easy for a freshman to keep up with the understanding of world political economy.

The rarest of all is his bold prediction.

What economics is talking about, in the final analysis, is to predict the future direction of the economy, and only economic policies that are based on it are meaningful.

He couldn't help but draw a big five-pointed star on the notebook in front of him.

Cai Huaqing flipped through the two books in front of him, one in Chinese and one in English, and was stunned that he couldn't find what Chen Yi said.

He wanted to despise Chen Yi for being "nonsense", but after all, he was a person who had read books, so he couldn't be so shameless. Besides, the professor is on the stage, and the results of blatant slander are unpredictable.

After such a delay, "Cai Huaqing" was shouted.

He stood up expectantly, and halfway through speaking, as soon as the tension was gone, Professor Lei said impatiently, "Next." ”

Both Chinese and foreign, professors are quite discriminatory against undergraduates. This is like a general discriminating against new recruits, those who have potential can still develop, and those who have no potential may not be able to survive, polite things like that are purely a waste of their time.

Academia is no easier than it is on the battlefield.

Luo Xiaoshan is from an out-of-town class, and he didn't even have a little incense with Cai Huaqing, so he smiled unceremoniously: "It seems that the English version is more stumbling and not easy to read." ”

Han Jie burst out laughing and quickly covered her mouth.

Chen Yi coughed twice, and he also felt quite happy.

At this point, everyone had finished their thoughts. Professor Lei did not comment, but said: "Chen Yi, do you have any specific ideas and research directions for the future trend of the labor market?" ”

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "From a financial point of view, if the price of Chinese labor increases, then capital will naturally show a tendency to surname, such as transferring originally cheap outsourcing jobs to countries such as Vietnam and Thailand......"

These are all things that Professor Chester has discussed.

Chen Yi thought for a while, and then said his thoughts: "If the quality of labor is improved, we may be able to contract some of the jobs in South America and Eastern European countries at a relatively cheap price." However, given the difficulty of relocating large factories and the slow improvement of labor quality, I think the result may be a temporary contraction of China's labor market. ”

A simple struggle in the financial market may not increase his knowledge reserve, but it will teach him to apply his knowledge better.

Professor Lei nodded with satisfaction, and also did not comment on whether it was right or wrong, but said, "Do you have any topics now?" ”

"Huh? No. ”

"Whether you are interested in doing a project, that is, to investigate China's labor market, is a provincial key topic in Jiangning." Professor Lei asked in the classroom, who careless, the other students were surprised, envious, jealous and hateful.

His time is limited, and if it weren't for the school's forced requirements, coupled with his inexplicable ambition, he wouldn't have given undergraduates two classes a week, and it would be a waste of life to teach the same thing every time.

Chen Yi was still hesitating, Lin Yuan was anxious, and said: "What else do you want, this kind of good thing, doctoral students can't grab it, a provincial key project." ”

She got a lot of information at the student union. The so-called provincial key points are not limited to the provinces, nor does it mean that the papers written are provincial - in fact, most of the papers published in the national core journals do not have the name of a key point from beginning to end, and none of the departments of the university have them.

provincial, it only means that the project has been evaluated by a certain expert committee in the province and has received investment from the province.

When such papers are written, they are often the treasures of the town department of the second-level school.

Jiangning's academic status is among the top in the country, and the value of its projects is naturally higher. If it weren't for Jiang University, a provincial project would have allowed a group of professors and associate professors to squeeze their heads.

Under the attention and expectation of all the people, how can Chen Yi say that there is not enough time, and it is not uncommon to do it.

Considering that grandpa has loved himself so much since he was a child, the only requirement is just to make himself academically successful...... Chen Yi said without hesitation: "Okay, thank you, professor." ”

Professor Ray nodded in satisfaction.

Han Jie smiled: "This is like a normal student." ”

Cai Huaqing trembled and wanted to say something, but he didn't spit out the last word.

Professor Lei began to talk about the following content with a smile, and those who are familiar with it know that this is his right mood.

Not only classmates, but also Liu Xinyu, Luo Xiaoshan, Han Jie and Lin Yuan were all impressed by Chen Yi. People who are in school know how hard it is to grab a project.
