Chapter Twenty-Three: No Accidents
Xiao Yixuan arrived at the school and was ready to go to class, his major in economic management, this semester there are only four major courses: political economy, Western economics, econometrics, and international economics.
The main content of this study is to cultivate students who have a solid foundation in Marxist economic theory, are familiar with modern Western economic theories, and are proficient in modern economic analysis methods.
Today, there are two courses, Western economics and international economics, and the freshman courses are still relatively heavy, and if you wait until the third or fourth year, there may only be two or three classes a week, which is very relaxing.
Xiao Yixuan didn't sleep all night, and when he arrived in the classroom and waited for the teacher to class, none of his roommates came.
It's almost May Day, and everyone is ready to go out to play, so there are not many people who come to class.
Less than half of the large classrooms came, and some of the people who came were not here, texting and thinking about where they were going to play, and calling to book tickets.
After a while, the teacher came, and the international economics teacher was an old professor who was almost 60 years old, named Zhou Husheng was a doctoral supervisor, and said humorously: "It seems that the charm of my class is far less than that of the May Day Golden Week!" I still have to work hard to be on par with it. ”
Now supervisors have to teach undergraduates, unlike in the past, where only doctoral students were needed.
International economics is an emerging discipline and an important sub-discipline of Western economics. The old professor spoke with vigor and vitality, in stark contrast to his age.
Xiao Yixuan listened with great interest, and the professor seemed to be telling a story, telling the evolution of the world monetary system, from the collapse of the dollar to the rise of the euro, the more Xiao Yixuan listened, the more interested he became.
In fact, Xiao Yixuan's memory is getting better and better, and Xiao Yixuan can even reproduce the demeanor, tone, movements, and written words of the teacher's lecture in chronological order, all of which can be traced back to the cover of the dilapidated Xingyi Fist.
Now it is not only martial arts that have benefited, but also his life has begun to be different.
At this point, the teacher suddenly paused and asked, "Do you all know what I'm talking about?" ”
After speaking, he looked at his students with some expectation, and the classroom suddenly became chaotic, many people were distracted below, and even the few people in front of him were a little dazed because they didn't listen to the lecture.
So the students were at a loss to rummage through the books, trying to find the content of the lecture, but there were no traces of the old professor's whimsical teaching.
The teacher pointed at one casually and said, "Tell me about what I just said." "It was a boy who didn't know what he was talking about, and asked for help, but no one listened.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, the teacher pointed to another female classmate and said, "Then you can talk about it." The female classmate also stumbled and couldn't speak.
I called five or six in a row, but no one could say it. The old professor couldn't help but be disappointed, although the holiday is coming soon, but I have to listen to this lesson.
He sighed and said, "I'm so disappointed, I think the lectures are still a little charming, who knows it's just self-righteousness." ”
Then suddenly the words changed sharply and said: "I'm calling two people, if no one knows yet, the person who stood up today is not usual!" ”
This time it was like a bomb being dropped in the classroom, and the students were all putting their heads down when they were in danger.
The usual score is 30 points, but this time it was made to zero, and the full score in this course is only 70 points, how many dare to say that they can get it all right? That's ironclad, it's better not to come to this class, it's too dangerous.
If you don't come, you're just skipping class, but you get a zero score when you come to class, which makes the students who don't come in the future see it and don't laugh to death!
Just thinking about it, the old professor raised his head, and the students who were standing were nervous, the time to decide their fate was coming, and they were praying in their hearts to let the gods and Buddhas bless themselves.
At this time, the old professor flipped through the roster and said: "The time to decide your fate is coming, remember not to leave your fate in the hands of others in the future." ”
After speaking, he called his name: "Wu Wenyue, you can talk about it." ”
Wu Wenyue also stood up with a pale face and whispered, "I didn't listen either, I'm sorry, teacher." After speaking, the tears were about to fall, she was not only a powerful person, but also had a very strong self-esteem.
Just now she was thinking about going home early to see her parents, and she usually pays attention to the lectures, but today she didn't have the heart to listen because she was absent-minded, so when she was called, she felt that she was also very aggrieved.
The old professor didn't say anything to hit her, lowered his head and looked at it for a while and said, "Then I'll call the last one, don't blame me, Xiao Yixuan, you can talk about it." After reading the name, he looked up.
Xiao Yixuan stood up, and the people sitting below couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then looked at Xiao Yixuan, who had just stood up, and began to gloat, if nothing else, these dozen people would hang up this class.
There are also some students who are also very anxious below, there are their good friends standing there, and they are also anxious to look at Xiao Yixuan, he is the focus at this moment.
The most complicated feeling is the person standing above, everyone is praying for Xiao Yixuan in their hearts, begging the gods and Buddhas to bless Xiao Yixuan to answer, this is their common hope,
Wu Wenyue also looked at Xiao Yixuan, she remembered that he had won a scholarship last time, and he had no contact with him since he gave it to him.
Xiao Yixuan usually can't see it on campus except for class, and when he asked Xie Feipeng, they learned that Xiao Yixuan didn't live in the dormitory, but only came during class.
This is the first boy Wu Wenyue likes, and I can't say what I feel like in my heart, but I just feel that he is different from other boys.
He hinted at him several times, but he sank into the sea like a stone, there was no response at all, and Xiao Yixuan's expression became complicated.
Xiao Yixuan couldn't bear to let such a good teacher lose confidence in his students, so he replied: "In the late 19th century, the world's major industrialized countries successively adopted the gold standard. Under the gold standard, gold served as the world's currency, and gold coins could be freely flowed, freely convertible, and freely minted or melted. ”
After speaking, he looked at Professor Zhou, and then said: "The free flow of gold coins ensures the relative stability of the currency comparison of various countries;
The free convertibility of gold coins ensured the relative stability of the comparison between gold and other metal coins and bank bills that represented the circulation of gold;
The free minting or melting of gold coins ensured the relative stability of price levels in various countries. As a result, the gold standard was the institutional arrangement with the largest net returns in the global environment at the time, and it maintained the long-term stability of exchange rates in various countries, thus greatly facilitating the development of international trade and investment. ”
It was exactly the same as the content of the opening lecture just now, and even the professor was a little surprised.
Therefore, the old professor said with great interest: "You wait a minute, you come up to the front and give a lecture on the podium." After speaking, he beckoned Xiao Yixuan to come over, Xiao Yixuan was not stage frightened at all, walked down from his position, and stood on the podium.
