Chapter 379: Cooking raw rice into cooked rice

Uncle He stared at the lecture notes in his hand, wondering where a new academician Li appeared from, with the same name as Li Weidong.

Next to him, a voice suddenly sounded: "Old He, the lecture hasn't even started yet, but you are studying so seriously."

"It's Lao Zhang!" Uncle He greeted the other party and then said, "I just want to see who is giving lectures today."

"The only ones who can give us lectures in the think tank are the top scholars who come and go!" Lao Zhang said, picking up the lecture notes on the table, looking through them, and then said:

"Wang Changning from the Foreign Affairs University, Huang Liwei from the Central University of Finance and Economics, Situ Jian from the Academy of Social Sciences, oh my, old man Situ is here this time! It seems that the leaders attach great importance to this lecture!"

"Keep looking down," Uncle He said.

When Lao Zhang saw Li Weidong's name, he was slightly startled: "Li Weidong? Who is this? Which scientific research institute? I've never heard of it!"

"I thought you knew this Li Weidong!" Uncle He said with a smile.

Lao Zhang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I really don't know this person. He should be a newly promoted think tank! Maybe he is a talent who has returned from abroad."

Uncle He nodded with deep understanding: "This possibility is very high. If we are professors or academicians in domestic universities and scientific research institutes, we must have heard of them. Since we haven't heard of them, there is a high probability that they are from

Scholars who have returned from abroad.”

"What I'm talking about is the interpretation of Japan's economic policy. He is most likely an economist from overseas Chinese in Japan! Foreign monks are so good at chanting sutras!" Lao Zhang continued.

"You can't say that. Even if you are a foreign monk, if you don't have some real skills, you won't be able to get into the eyes of the leaders, let alone give us lectures." Uncle He responded.

The two chatted for a few words, and the lecture officially began.

The first one is Professor Wang from the China Foreign Affairs University. He talks about international geopolitics after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

For the Chinese in the early 1990s, geopolitics was still a very unfamiliar thing.

Geopolitics originated in Europe, especially during the two world wars, Europeans played geopolitics to the fullest.

After the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fell into the Cold War. This stage was mainly about ideological confrontation, and the importance of geopolitics was greatly weakened.

During the Cold War, European countries chose sides and could start fighting at any time if they disagreed. As long as we have the same ideology, we are brothers; otherwise, if we have different ideologies, we are enemies.

Under this kind of estimation environment, geopolitics is of no use at all. No matter how slippery geopolitics is, it will become meaningless when the United States and the Soviet Union have thousands of nuclear bombs aimed at each other.

If you get angry, it will soon be World War III, and the torrent of steel will push through it, and all geopolitics will be useless!

All this changed after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. With the end of the Cold War, ideological opposition gradually disappeared, and geopolitics returned to the vision of politicians in various countries.

In terms of geopolitics, China is still a novice. It can even be said that the Chinese at that time did not know how to play geopolitics at all.

Therefore, this kind of lecture on geopolitics is very necessary.

The time of ministry officials is also very valuable. Professor Wang limited the lecture time to half an hour. After a five-minute break, it was Professor Huang Liwei's turn to take the stage to explain stocks and futures.

The vast majority of people present only have a general understanding of stocks and futures, and are far from professional. As China's securities industry becomes more and more open, it is necessary to understand more about this part of knowledge.

The third person to take the stage was Academician Situ Jian.

Everyone is no stranger to this old academician. Most of the cadres at the scene have listened to Situ Jian's lectures more than once. And everyone also knows that Situ Jian plays a pivotal role in think tanks, and is almost the number one leader in the domestic economic and trade field.

A wise man.

Nowadays, the key task in the country is economic construction. The content of Situ Jian's lectures is also very practical and closely related to everyone here.

Situ Jian's lecture was a bit long, and he was slightly overtime by five minutes, and then it was Li Weidong's turn to take the stage to give a lecture.

"Interpretation of Japan's economic policy after the 1990s and its impact on Asia." Uncle He lowered his head and looked at the title on the handout.

At this moment, Lao Zhang next to him suddenly made a voice of admiration: "This teacher is so young!"

"Young?" Uncle He immediately raised his head and was surprised to find that Li Weidong had already walked to the podium.

"Li Weidong, why is it Li Weidong!" Uncle He exclaimed.

Lao Zhang stared at Uncle He strangely and said, "Isn't his name Li Weidong? It has been written in the lecture notes that the speaker is Li Weidong!"

Lao Zhang obviously didn't realize that Uncle He knew Li Weidong.

Uncle He didn't seem to hear Lao Zhang's words. At this time, his brain was short-circuited.

"Why is this guy Li Weidong here? And he has to give us a lecture! I'm not dreaming!" Uncle He subconsciously pinched himself with his hand, and it hurt!

"How is this possible? Why is he, a self-employed person, giving us lectures? What do the leaders think? Instead of finding so many professors and academicians, they find self-employed people to give us lectures and talk about the impact of Japan's economic policies on Asia?

Can this guy find Japan on the map?"

Li Weidong, a self-employed businessman who had always been looked down upon by Uncle He, was now standing on the podium in a grand manner, giving lectures to Uncle He and other ministry leaders. Uncle He felt that there were so many mixed feelings in his heart that he couldn't tell what it was like.

Other cadres nearby also started talking quietly after seeing Li Weidong.

"So young, he looks less than thirty years old!"

"How much does such a young junior know? Can he also teach us?"

"Aspirations lie in youth. Don't underestimate young people. When Professor Qian was researching missiles in the United States, he was only in his twenties!"

"And Einstein also proposed quantum theory in his twenties!"

"Since the leader asked him to give us a lecture, it means that this young man must be extraordinary. Maybe he is a genius scholar like Einstein!"

These comments reached Uncle He's ears, and Uncle He finally came to his senses.

"Genius scholar? Bullshit! He is just a self-employed businessman, how dare he compete with Einstein? Who gave you the courage?" Uncle He complained crazily in his heart, but did not express it with his mouth.

At this time, another leader next to him said: "This young man is talking about the interpretation of Japanese economic policies. He must be an overseas Chinese economist who has returned from Japan."

"An overseas Chinese who returned from Japan? Bullshit! His family is from Qinghe, which is a poor mountainous area with no food for birds! There are dozens of impoverished towns in the city!" Uncle He complained again in his heart.

Another person said: "If you look at Japan's economic development in the past thirty years, you will know that from nothing to the world's second largest economy, Japanese economists are still very powerful.

Many management systems of Japanese companies have become the object of study around the world. It seems that there will be many Japanese economists who will win the Nobel Prize in Economics in the future!"

Another person echoed: "This young man named Li Weidong can give us lectures at such a young age. Maybe he can also win a Nobel Prize in Economics in the future! Hey? Lao He, why are you staring at me?"

"These are just a few words, and they are already worth the Nobel Prize in Economics. If I don't glare at you, will I have to let Li Weidong become the president of the World Bank?

He also won the Nobel Prize, did you know that he started working right after graduating from junior high school and never even went to high school!" Uncle He was complaining crazily in his heart, but he didn't say a word.

Firstly, it is because those who can come to give lectures are all arranged by the leadership. Now Uncle He can't decide what the leadership's attitude is towards Li Weidong, so he never dares to reveal the details of Li Weidong. This is a kind of political sensitivity.

Secondly, Li Weidong is likely to become the son-in-law of the He family in the future. If Li Weidong is said to be worthless now, if Li Weidong really marries He Anan in the future, the He family will lose face.

So between public and private matters, Uncle He could only stare, and then complain crazily in his heart.

Finally, Li Weidong began to give formal lectures.

However, Uncle He had no intention of listening to the lecture. He was always wondering why Li Weidong appeared here?

In fact, Uncle He knew very well that every scholar who could give lectures here was appointed by the leader, and the reason why he was appointed by the leader was because the theory proposed by the scholar was favored by the leader.

Or perhaps, the suggestions put forward by the scholars have been adopted by the leaders and will be implemented on a pilot basis, so let the scholars explain it to the cadres of these ministries and commissions first, so as to avoid being confused when the policy is implemented in the future.

Uncle He looked at the topic of Li Weidong's lecture. It obviously did not involve domestic policy matters, so Uncle He thought to himself: "Is this kid Li Weidong favored by the leader?"

It is completely different for a scholar to be favored by the leader and for an entrepreneur to be favored by the leader. Scholars can only put forward theories, but entrepreneurs can actually implement policies. This is the difference between talking on paper and practicing it.

Uncle He couldn't help but think of Li Weidong's loader factory. As the first person to acquire a state-owned enterprise, he was now standing here giving lectures openly. Could this be a signal from the leader about the direction of future reforms?

At this time, Uncle He was extremely sensitive to politics and started various mental analyses.

Others don't know the details of Li Weidong, so they can't think of so much. But Uncle He is different. He knows Li Weidong thoroughly. It's abnormal for a person who shouldn't be there to appear here without making up his own analysis!

Uncle He sat there and made up his own analysis. Li Weidong had been teaching for more than ten minutes. He had finished explaining Japan's economic policies. It was time to talk about the impact of Japan's economy on Asia.

For this lecture, Li Weidong prepared for a long time. He basically took out all the practical information he learned in the MBA class. In addition, Li Weidong knew what would happen in the future, and combined with all kinds of hindsight analysis, all of a sudden

It really deceived the cadres of the ministries and commissions who were listening to the lecture.

"This young man has something in his stomach. I have also read many articles written by experts who study the Japanese economy, but compared with what this young man said, they seem too one-sided."

"Yes, after listening to what this young man said, I have a new understanding of Japan's economy. Originally, I thought that Japan's development to this extent in thirty years was an economic miracle, but now it seems that Japan

The economy is really in crisis!"

"The people appointed by the leaders must have real talents and real knowledge! As I said just now, don't underestimate young people. As long as they have real skills and knowledge, even young men in their twenties, we should learn with humility

."

"This young man named Li Weidong is extraordinary. He is only in his twenties and can join a think tank and give us lectures. His future prospects are limitless!

These words fell into Uncle He's ears, and deep in his heart, he unconsciously felt a sense of pride.

Especially what the last person said about "the future is limitless" reminded Uncle He even more.

Li Weidong is only twenty-five years old now. Even if he retires at sixty, he can still work for another thirty-five years. This means that in the next thirty-five years, Li Weidong will be a member of the national think tank and will always contribute to the national think tank.

Provide advice and suggestions on economic policy.

What's more, experts and scholars at this level rarely retire at the age of sixty. It is normal for them to work until they are seventy or eighty.

A think tank scholar who can influence national economic policy in the next 40 to 50 years is of immeasurable value.

If he could really stay in a think tank for more than thirty years and put forward some constructive suggestions from time to time, I am afraid that in the eyes of the leaders, many senior cadres would not be as influential as him.

Thinking of this, Uncle He suddenly felt that it might be a good thing for the He family to have such a son-in-law.

…

It took more than three hours for all six people to finish speaking. Plus the rest time in between, the afternoon was over.

After the last teacher explained the latest technology in the world, the cadres attending the lecture began to pack up their handouts and notes and prepared to leave.

Li Weidong went to find Uncle He. After all, he was He Anan's uncle. Even if Uncle He was dissatisfied with him, he still had to come and say hello.

"Isn't this the teacher Li who gave the lecture just now?" People with sharp eyes have already noticed Li Weidong.

Li Weidong walked straight to Uncle He and said with a smile: "Uncle, I saw you when I was giving the lecture just now, but I couldn't come over to say hello to you."

"Yes." Uncle He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, the old man next to him opened his mouth and said, "Lao He, I bet you know this Teacher Li! He calls you uncle, and he calls you so dearly. Are you relatives?"

Uncle He was suddenly embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should recognize this relative.

Lao Zhang then said: "That's not right. Your surname is He and his surname is Li. You two have different surnames, so you should not be related."

Li Weidong said: "This leader, the uncle is my partner's uncle, and of course he is also my uncle!"

"They are not married yet!" Uncle He quickly added.

"People have called you uncle, so that means it's settled! Marriage is just a ceremony. After all, you are a family now!" Lao Zhang said with a smile.

"Yes, we are a family." Li Weidong nodded quickly, then ignored Uncle He's resentful gaze.

Lao Zhang continued with a smile: "Okay, Lao He, I have such a young and promising niece-in-law, and I deliberately hid it. When Teacher Li went up to give a lecture just now, you didn't say a word!

"

A person next to him also said, "I say, Lao He, you are too unkind. A few of us have been making wild guesses here and have been making trouble for a long time. It is your niece-in-law. You are deliberately watching a show!"

"No wonder Lao He kept looking at me just now. Speaking of the son-in-law of their He family, why don't you look at me! Fortunately, I didn't say anything bad just now, otherwise Lao He would have beaten me up!"

Everyone started to tease Uncle He, shouting "niece-in-law" one after another, making Uncle He neither admit nor deny.

Uncle He was unwilling to admit that Li Weidong was his niece-in-law.

It would not work to deny it on the spot. After all, Uncle He is still not sure what kind of status Li Weidong has in the eyes of the leaders.

What's more, Li Weidong did gain face for himself in today's lecture.

However, in the eyes of these ministry leaders, Li Weidong has confirmed his identity as Uncle He's niece-in-law.

"What kind of thing is this! I didn't do anything else, just listen to a lecture! This Li Weidong and our family An'an, how come they are already cooked!"
