The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

When they were introduced to each other just now, Li Yuan knew that Teacher Hou Kun graduated from American Stanford University with a master's degree. After graduation, he worked on a project with his mentor for a period of time.

He returned to China to teach in the late 70s, and is now a well-known economics professor at Yanda University.

He is also a member of a national think tank.

"Are you Teacher Cheng Kun?"

"No, my name is Hou Kun." Professor Hou's expression changed slightly, but the arrogance in his bones was clearly revealed.

"Okay, Teacher Cheng Kun...".

"I told you, my name is Hou Kun!" The other person's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and he suddenly realized something. The smile returned to his face, and he shrugged at the foreigners.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Hou..."

"Please call me Professor!"

Ever since he went to America and witnessed its prosperity and wealth, and when he looked back at the poor and backward empire, he had the intention of never going back.

He achieved success in his studies and was appreciated by his professor, thinking that he would be a successful student from now on.

Unfortunately, in the late 70s, he was suspended from school for some inexplicable reasons.

His respected mentor told him to return to China and pass on the knowledge he had learned here.

Let China, which is a cultural desert, be irrigated and help them build a national economy and a market economy.

When the storm passed and he gained something, the professor agreed to recall him back.

Then he analyzed China's current economic situation with him and gave him the most reasonable economic measures.

After many simulations and repetitions, Rang Fu was appreciated by the president of Yanda University as soon as he returned to China.

Soon he entered the vision of the superior.

Professor Iverson is a good friend of his mentor, so this time, he received the whole process.

When he first saw Li Yuan, he felt uncomfortable because he was too young.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was the arrogance displayed by this young man.

A professor with great achievements in the field of science and technology reminded him and advised him, but he actually didn't appreciate it.

This kind of arrogance can only be cultivated by this late empire.

He has long disliked Li Yuan, but as a well-known professor with Western higher education, he has always maintained his elegance.

He gave him kind words and advice, but he didn't expect that this young man would actually use his name to humiliate him.

Before he went abroad, he happened to receive a gift, which was the just-published "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

Who Cheng Kun is? After all these years, he still has an impression.

If no one is present, he must teach the boy in front of him how to behave.

He was ruthless in his heart but had to remain elegant, so his facial expression was very wonderful, giving him the feeling of a great eunuch holding a pen and smiling at his ministers.

"Okay, Professor Cheng."

Hou Kun had calmed down at this time and did not correct him this time. He just looked at Li Yuan with a sneer.

The reason why Li Yuan targeted Professor Hou Kun in this way was not entirely because of what he said just now, but because he felt deep disgust and flattery from him.

The disgust is not directed at him personally, but includes all the Chinese people present.

The objects of flattery are those Americans.

This kind of person has been seen a lot in later generations, and he is the well-known implant person.

Although he concealed it very well, since the upgrade of his skills, this sixth sense has become very sensitive and has proven successful time and time again.

As a professor at a key university and a member of a national think tank, this made Li Yuan very unhappy.

Therefore, he directly criticized him.

"You just said that Western developed countries transferred a large number of industrial facilities to backward countries for free for charity, right?"

"Although the wording is a little different, the basic meaning is correct."

After regaining his composure, he showed his professional smile again.

"Since you are studying economics, I will dance the Guan Gong knife in front of you.

We all know that mankind has experienced three industrial revolutions so far. The first revolution was dominated by coal and metallurgy, and the second revolution was dominated by electricity.

Although the products spawned by the two revolutions were different, they had one thing in common at the level of national development.

The industrial systems involved in the core products of the two industrial revolutions are heavy assets that require long-term and large-scale investment from the government.

This is the so-called heavy industrial system and infrastructure, and only when such heavy assets have a certain scale can the overall economic development be promoted.

Excuse me, Professor Kun, did I make a mistake? "

Li Yuan's summary impressed him.

He did not expect that a young man engaged in technology would have such a deep understanding of the industrial revolution.

This is not surprising for scholars like them who study economics. However, when it came from his mouth, he was a little surprised.

"It's not very professional, but that's basically what it's like. Please continue."

"Okay, then I'll continue.

The core products of the third industrial revolution are asset-light based on the first two industrial revolutions, that is, the ICT industrial revolution.

It has made the components of end-product manufacturing products increasingly refined. The industrial systems of developed countries cannot support such a large and complex supply chain, and more countries need to participate in the division of labor in the global industrial system.

With the rapid development of computer technology, it is effectively promoting the deepening of the third industrial revolution.

At the same time, the first two industrial revolutions had a fatal flaw, which was the outbreak of inflation and economic depression from time to time.

In order to solve the above problems, developed countries have carried out a total of three industrial transfers so far.

The first industrial transfer, from America to Western Europe and Little Life, occurred in the 50s. Mainly to solve America's rising labor costs and price levels, as well as the depreciation of the US dollar.

The second industrial transfer is from America, Germania, and Xiaoli to the Four Asian Tigers. It happened in the 70s. The reasons for the transfer are the same as above, but this time with the addition of the oil crisis.

The third industrial transfer is happening now, and you can guess where the destination is."

The three principals looked at each other. Although Li Yuan was talking about economics, his expression was concise and contained no profound terminology. Everyone could understand it immediately.

If you think about it carefully, that's really what happened.

At the same time, such an interpretation is consistent with the behavior of capitalist countries.

We are all adults, and we all know that there is no pie in the sky.

But they didn't expect that Li Yuan could explain complex economic issues clearly in such simple words.

Professor Hou Kun had beads of sweat on his face.

Cheng Jin and Hou Kun originally cherished each other and wanted to say a few words to smooth things over. But seeing the expressions on the faces of the three principals, they refrained from speaking.

Hou Kun's face looked ugly and he could no longer maintain his elegance.

He understood all this, but he deliberately ignored the details, because for some backward countries, these industrial transfers were extremely precious.

Western developed countries are willing to transfer their industrial systems, which is a gift to this country.

"Comrade Xiao Li, everyone understands what you said.

However, it is hard for us to deny that these transfers are pie-in-the-sky pie and wealth for the recipient countries.

As beneficiaries, shouldn’t we be a little grateful?”

Li Yuan made no secret of his disdain, "Professor Kun, after kneeling alone for a long time, are you unwilling to get up?!"

"You!" Hou Kun's face turned red with anger.
