Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

Freedom and fairness.

Shen Jiannan was wondering if he had colored glasses on Huang Guoqiang before, when he suddenly heard this sentence, his face turned black and he wanted to scold his mother, but he has really experienced how "free" and "fair" the American financial market is '.

Free enough to directly freeze his bank account on the charge of market manipulation, fair enough to almost avoid being caught in prison just because he is a Chinese and earns too much money.

If it is really manipulating the market, it’s fine. Using the crime of manipulation in the capital market to manipulate a market of tens of billions of dollars with 100 million dollars is simply ridiculous.

fair?

That would be even more nonsense.

Even the Federal Reserve is the private bank of major families, so it's not fair.

If it weren't for his identity, it is really inappropriate to swear now, Shen Jiannan really wanted to rush into the classroom and ask Huang Guoqiang: Do you really know what freedom and fairness are?

But for the students, what Huang Guoqiang said has another meaning.

The basic national policies of the United States are freedom, equality, and justice. Because of these three principles, capital from any country in the world can enter and exit the US market at will. And no matter what your status is, you will receive the most equal treatment. It is precisely this kind of freedom and fairness that makes the U.S. economy ahead of other countries, and the U.S. financial market has pricing power over many commodities around the world.

In other words, an unsuccessful market is due to lack of freedom; a financial market without pricing power over bulk resource commodities is due to injustice. Just like the mainland market, the foreign exchange administration has strict scrutiny on the entry and exit of capital, and the unfair monetary policy of the dual-track system is the main reason for the backwardness of the domestic economy.

Although, Huang Guoqiang didn't say these words.

Following Huang Guoqiang's words, the complex expressions of longing, anger, and hatred for iron and steel could be clearly seen on the faces of the students present.

People have feelings.

Born on this land, everyone will have a deep love for this land from the imprint of birth.

Just like a university professor surnamed Zheng in later generations talked about Internet trolls and anger, he said: Some people say that anger harms the country, but these people have forgotten that anger is an emotion, why are they angry?

Because hating iron can't make steel, because of the depth of love.

No one doesn't want their family to be rich, and no one doesn't want their country to be rich and powerful.

But if poverty is caused by system problems or injustice, it will undoubtedly do great harm to a person's emotions.

The domestic market economy is not free enough, leading to economic backwardness, why can't we let go of market freedom? Those officials' minds are full of feces? Isn't the United States a living example put there, and you can't even copy your homework.

Others' financial markets have the power to price global commodities, so why can't our own country fully liberalize the financial markets to attract more funds in a fair way.

What are those pig heads who make policies thinking?

Huang Guoqiang on the podium seemed unaware that his remarks had planted a strange seed in the hearts of the students present. He sighed and talked about the advanced economic theory he learned in the United States.

"Of course, the strength of the U.S. economy does not depend entirely on the development of the financial market. Its fundamentals are also an important part that cannot be separated. For example, the U.S. agriculture, in our country, is planted for rations, but the U.S. agricultural planting, It's a mechanized agricultural economy."

"When I was doing research in Chicago, I learned that the level of agricultural development in the United States is at least a hundred years ahead of other countries."

Have you misunderstood this guy?

Huang Guoqiang's sigh and heavy expression made Shen Jiannan wonder if he misunderstood him again. After all, it is natural to see many faults in others from the perspective of God, but in this era, some things cannot be seen from the perspective of the future.

At least, Huang Guoqiang is right now.

It has been delayed for more than three hundred years, and it is not easy to be able to pull the distance of a hundred years a little bit.

"Our country is a big agricultural country, right?

But in the 19th century, the United States began to lay out agricultural modernization. After more than ten years of development, American agriculture has already taken a great advantage, because most of the United States is now mechanized, and in some respects it can be said that it surpasses many just started. Guess what, how many catties of corn can be produced per acre of land in the United States? "

"."

The tone of the interrogative sentence immediately attracted the attention of all the students present. Most of the students were born in rural families, and their confidence in the agricultural country has always been rooted in their bones.

But hearing what Huang Guoqiang said, naturally there were too many doubts and thirst for knowledge in my heart.

Looking at the curious eyes, Huang Guoqiang stretched out two fingers.

With this stretch, all the students present were dumbfounded.

You know, even if the weather is good in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the yield of corn is only more than 800 catties. The yield of corn is only over 400 catties.

"Two thousand catties?"

"How can this be?"

"Professor Huang, you are not joking!"

"."

Huang Guoqiang shook his head heavily.

This shaking of the head seemed to have shattered the confidence of countless people.

But at this moment, Huang Guoqiang spoke again.

"It's not two thousand catties. It's two thousand kilograms!"

quiet.

Deathly silence.

It was like a thunderbolt bombarded the consciousness of all the students.

The maximum yield per mu is 800 catties, and the yield per mu is as high as 4000 catties.

How can this be!

"How can this be?"

Some students stood up excitedly and questioned Huang Guoqiang. Their eyes full of hope seemed to hope that Huang Guoqiang was joking, but there was an infinite sense of loss and collapse deep in their eyes.

China is the largest industrial country in Asia.

Agriculture is everything that every peasant family is proud of. With hard work and hard work, the farmers have made China's grain exports hit new highs repeatedly.

But

Finally, some students recovered from the shock.

Don't be afraid of others being strong. The great man said that technology is the primary productive force, and as long as you learn, you can make progress.

If you fall behind, you can learn and catch up.

So what about the gap of three hundred years!

"Professor Huang, do you know why their output is so high?"

Huang Guoqiang frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "On the surface, it is because of the high degree of scientific planting and mechanized production in the United States. In the provinces with the largest agricultural and grain production in the United States, both planting and harvesting are all mechanized. .Sowing is done by airplane, and harvesting is done by harvester.

With scientific management, their agricultural output is extremely high.

But if we look at the most fundamental reason, it is actually a system problem.

I would like to ask everyone here, do you want to be farmers? "

Who wants to be a farmer?

With this question, the students present immediately had their first answer in their hearts - no.

Why do countless families go to great lengths to let their children study?

To leave the countryside, away from the land.

The students have worked so hard to be admitted to the university, and why have they traveled thousands of miles away from their hometown to go to school?

read?

No, in order not to be a farmer.

Farmer, one of the most humble professions; a profession that no matter how hard you work, you will get a round stomach in the harvest years, and you will starve to death in the famine years.

No one wants to be a farmer.

Obviously, Huang Guoqiang knew everyone's answers very well, and he didn't continue to ask this question, and the conversation changed to other topics.

"Whether it is human beings or the natural environment, it has always been a development history of survival of the fittest, and in the thousands of years of human history, it has always been a pyramid hierarchy. The economic strength of the United States does not only depend on the financial level in a daze, regardless of Whether it is agriculture or technology, they are at least a hundred years ahead of developing countries."

"In the United States, the status of farmers is very high. The average annual income of a farm family is as high as 30,000 US dollars. It is equivalent to the level of the middle class. Almost every farm family has at least one car. The social status of farmers is also very high. When a farmer goes to the bank, he is treated like a VIP."

"But it's not the case in other countries. For example, when a former student of mine mentioned his family to his classmates in the city, he always avoided talking about his family background. Why? Because his parents were farmers."

"I don't mean to criticize this classmate's morality, although I don't like his behavior. But why, he dare not mention that his parents are farmers?"

"There is only one reason. Peasants represent poverty and backwardness? They represent humbleness and incompetence."

"Why is this happening? Supply and demand determine the value base. It's clear that farmers are overrepresented."

"And his real problem comes from the problem of the system. Fairness."

"Farmers, don't get the fairness they deserve."

"For example, corporate employees work in factories and have pensions and medical insurance when they retire, but farmers have nothing. They have worked hard all their lives and have worked until they die."

"I also came from a peasant family. My father, on the day he died, was still harvesting wheat in the field."

"That's right. At that time, the land had not yet been divided, and he was exhausted working for the production team."

"."

All the students were silent.

It takes about ten years for the land to be delivered to households. Some older students may not know what life the production team lived.

"But it turns out that the private economy is self-stabilizing."

"After the land goes to the countryside and goes to households, our food production has really reached a new high point, and there is no longer a famine that we worry about every year."

"This is not an isolated case in our country. For example, in the UK, since Mrs. Thatcher came to power to promote the privatization reform process, in less than ten years, the British economy has escaped from the long-term downturn cycle."

"."

"What does this mean?"

"Fair even if unfair, unfair is fair."

"If a farmer pays but doesn't get what he deserves, then he will have a lazy mentality; if a worker has paid his sweat but can't get a reasonable return, he will have a negative mentality; because the United States The income of farmers is high, so there will be countless energy invested in agricultural research, and finally a virtuous circle will be formed.

The industrial development of the United States will drive more talents to devote energy to industrial technology research and development, and ultimately promote its industry to become stronger. "

"Let me give you an example. The British Royce-Rolls Company is the world's top mechanical power company. In the 1970s, in order to compete with the American General Motors, Rolls-Royce invested a lot of money in research and development of new products, but No new progress could be made for a long time. Just as Mrs. Thatcher came to power later, Rollo-Royce changed from a state-owned enterprise to a joint-stock company.

Therefore, the government's subsidy for Rolls-Royce's research has been terminated, and the performance appraisal of the R\u0026D team by the board of directors has also been changed. Only those who achieve new R\u0026D results can receive bonuses.

A month later, Rolls-Royce's new engine came out. "

"."

"Why did the R\u0026D department of Rolls-Royce complete a research and development task that could not be completed in more than ten years in just one month?"

"Driven."

As he spoke, Huang Guoqiang turned around and wrote a line of big characters on the blackboard.

"I think everyone now knows that currency, as a general equivalent, is a manifestation of labor transformation. But the social pyramid structure level means that only a few people can always stand at the forefront of a certain field."

"There may be many reasons. Everyone has different qualities in all aspects. Some people are hardworking, some are lazy, some are smart, and some are stupid."

"Is it fair that someone who is smart and hardworking should be treated the same as someone who is lazy and stupid?"

"Obviously, that's not fair."

As Huang Guoqiang put down the chalk in his hand, all the students couldn't help thinking.

The disadvantages of the state-owned system have been very prominent in recent years. Nepotism, iron rice bowls and low innovation and production capacity have brought many state-owned enterprises to the brink of bankruptcy.

Among other things, even Hongxing Steel Works and Hudong Heavy Industry, the largest steel mills in Shanghai, are on the verge of bankruptcy. It is also due to various considerations that a large number of enterprise employees have been laid off and entered the society.

And the reason, as Huang Guoqiang said, is that under collective ownership, fairness is actually a kind of unfairness.

Even Shen Jiannan who was standing outside couldn't help thinking.

All countries have experienced the rules of privatization and public ownership. In some respects, what Huang Guoqiang said is actually correct.

There is also a difference between a smart dog and a stupid dog. It is naturally unfair for a person who is strong in all aspects to receive the same treatment as a person who is mediocre or even lagging behind.

The privatization process in the UK was also driven by this logic, which changed the economic downturn in the UK for more than ten years.

But for some reason, Shen Jiannan always felt that there was something wrong with what Huang Guoqiang said.

Could it be that this is my own subjective bias?

At this moment, some students stood up from their seats again.

"Professor Huang. According to you, the development of the United States is based on freedom and fairness, and the economy is due to institutional problems.

But why I heard that the United States is not as fair as you said. In the United States, Chinese have the lowest status, being discriminated against by whites, bullied by blacks, and even Mexicans are treated better than Chinese. "

"this."

"Also. As the second largest economy in the world, Japan is no worse than the United States in terms of industrial and technological levels. As far as I know, Japan's economy has surpassed that of the United States in recent years, ranking first in the world .

However, Japan's car sales in the world once occupied the first share in the world in recent years, and Japanese manufacturing is also spread all over the world.

On the contrary, the sales volume of American auto brands and Japanese auto brands is not at the same level at all, and most of the daily chemical products market is Japanese products.

Also, in terms of home appliances, we can see on the street that products from Panasonic, Fuji, and Sony account for almost 70% of the market share. And rarely see American goods.

Then there is the modern Seiko equipment. As far as I know, Japan and Germany have the highest level of stainless steel in the world. In the 1980s, Japan has already used CNC forged steel, and its fine steel manufacturing and precision manufacturing are even ahead of the United States. nearly ten years. "

"."

Huang Guoqiang was speechless after the student's words, and his face became very ugly. Because he already recognized who the student who woke up was.

As a school professor, Huang Guoqiang generally does not attend open classes.

Classes about economics and finance were taught by other teachers in the school, including teachers who had returned from studying abroad, and students who had stayed in the school before, including several former students of Shen Jiannan.

Huang Guoqiang, on the other hand, will only bring some more outstanding students among the students who are about to graduate.

Of course, this does not mean that he will not take public classes.

The school's teachers are not rich in resources. In order to solve the shortcomings in this area, Huang Guoqiang will also take time to exchange his understanding of economics and politics with the students.

Because there are no sub-disciplines, finance and economics are just a general concept, so what is often talked about will be unconstrained and unconstrained.

Han Bowen, who is the guy standing right now, likes to be picky the most.

Several times, when it comes to supply and demand and value and Keynesian new economic theory, this guy will jump up and find fault, and it is always irrefutable.

Having been rejected several times in a row, Huang Guoqiang knew what this annoying student wanted to say without asking.

Sure enough, Han Bowen suddenly changed the topic and turned the topic back to the system.

"But as we all know, Japan is a country with a very strict hierarchy. The relationship between superiors and subordinates is comparable to the relationship between ancient patriarchs and generals. There is no American-style freedom and fairness at all.

However, the Japanese made breakthroughs in technology with each passing day, and they had never lost to any country.

Professor Huang, you said that the development of the United States is based on freedom and equality. The student Lu Ben really can't understand this point. I hope you can explain it to me. "

"."

Bars are everywhere.

For Huang Guoqiang, a guy like Han Bowen is undoubtedly a kind of leverage.

But he couldn't help answering this question. No matter what he said, he was a professor who returned from studying in the United States. If he couldn't answer such a question, it would be a joke if it was spread.

After several quick thoughts, Huang Guoqiang kept organizing the language in his mind. After all, he was at the level of a professor, and soon thought of how to answer this question.

"The Japanese are very good at learning. This can be seen from the Tang Dynasty. The Japanese learned the forging level of the Tang Dynasty from China, and have continued to use its essence to this day."

"George Soros, a master of American economics, once said that the Japanese are terrible at learning. Their concentration and ingenuity in the manufacturing industry are almost to the point of harshness."

"Borrowing what the great man said, technology is the first element in modern production. The Japanese have carried forward the spirit of technology to the limit and applied it in any field."

"For example, toilets in Japan. Everyone knows that toilets are used to deal with sewage. But Japan is not the case. The Japanese people's excellence and sincere and dedicated attitude make the water in the toilet even drinkable."

What you said has nothing to do with the system we want to talk about?

Isn't it talking about freedom and equality?

Didn't you say that the economic development of the United States is due to freedom and equality? Didn't you say that the United States can become the world's number one power in two hundred years because of the basic national policy of the Declaration of Independence?

Han Bowen couldn't help rolling his eyes. As Shen Jiannan's loyal disciple, he really didn't like Huang Guoqiang's logical theory of subverting concepts, generalizing and avoiding reality.

What is Financial Freedom?

His teacher mentioned it in a class.

Give a definition of financial freedom: money can flow around the world effortlessly, with no limit on the size of the amount, no limit on usage, no source audit, no trouble of currency conversion, and no time limit.

But if we use the theory of applying what we have learned, freedom is actually the logic of a robber telling sheep that they should be eaten by wolves.

In other words, only when the wolf faces the sheep will it talk about freedom.

Why?

In real life, it is impossible for drug dealers to have financial freedom because of improper sources of income, and ordinary people’s legitimate income is naturally free, so drug dealers naturally desire financial freedom more than ordinary people.

Japan can become the second economic system in Asia, but it has never been based on financial freedom.

But obviously, Huang Guoqiang didn't answer this question positively at all.

The water in the toilet is still drinkable, why do you think I'm stupid?

I don't believe you have drunk it.

Perhaps it was a subjective prejudice, Han Bowen secretly slandered in his annoyed heart.

ring ring ring——

Suddenly, Yizhen's phone rang from outside the classroom, and the different voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Whether it's Shen Jiannan or someone else, listening to what Kevin Mitnick said on the phone, a cold light flashed in this guy's eyes and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

Huang Guoqiang's wife, in addition to her positive identity, actually has an unknown identity, which is so interesting.

"Professor Huang, have you ever drank the water in the Japanese toilet? Otherwise, how do you know that the water in the Japanese toilet is drinkable?"
