Chapter 15 The War of Ideology(1/2)
Freedom, fairness.
Shen Jiannan was wondering whether he had worn tinted glasses to Huang Guoqiang before. When he suddenly heard this sentence, he turned angry and wanted to curse. He had truly experienced how "free" and "fair" the US financial market is.
He was so free that he used the charge of market manipulation to directly freeze his bank account, so fair that he almost didn't get caught in prison because he was a Chinese.
If the market is really manipulated, it would be fine. In the capital market, 100 million US dollars manipulating the market of tens of billions of dollars is simply ridiculous.
fair?
That would be even more nonsense.
Even the Federal Reserve is a private bank of various major families, so what's the point of fairness?
If it weren't for his identity, it was really inappropriate to swear, Shen Jiannan really wanted to rush into the classroom and ask Huang Guoqiang: Do you know what freedom and fairness are?
But for the students, what Huang Guoqiang said was another meaning.
The basic national policy of the United States is freedom, equality and justice. It is precisely because of these three principles that any country in the world can enter and exit the US market at will. No matter what identity, it will be treated the most equally. It is precisely this freedom and fairness that the US economy will shake the lead in other countries and the US financial market will have the right to price many global commodities.
In other words, the unsuccessful market is because of unfreedom; the financial market that does not have the right to price bulk resource commodities is because of injustice. Just like the mainland market, the Foreign Exchange Administration has strict review of capital entry and exit, and the unfair monetary policy of dual-track system is the main reason for the domestic economic backwardness.
Although, Huang Guoqiang did not say these words.
As Huang Guoqiang's words fell, the students present could clearly see the complex expressions of yearning, anger, and hatred.
People have feelings.
Born on this land, the imprint of birth makes everyone have a deep love for this land.
Just like a university professor named Zheng in later generations talked about Internet trolls and anger, he said: Some people say that anger will ruin the country, but these people have forgotten one thing. Anger is an emotion, why are you angry?
Because hatred cannot be made of steel, because love is deep.
No one does not want their family to be rich, and no one does not want their country to be prosperous and strong.
But if poverty is caused by institutional problems and injustice, it will undoubtedly be a great harm to a person's emotions.
The domestic market economy is not free enough, which leads to economic backwardness. Why can't market freedom be released? Those officials are pretending to be shit in their minds? Isn't the United States a living example put there, and can't copy homework?
Other people's financial markets have the right to price global commodities, so why can't their own countries fully liberalize the financial markets and attract more funds to be fairer?
What are the pig heads who formulate policies thinking?
Huang Guoqiang on the podium seemed not to realize that his remarks had planted a strange seed in the hearts of the students present. He sighed and talked about the advanced economic theories he learned in the United States.
"Of course, the strength of the US economy does not depend entirely on the development of financial markets, and its basic market is also an important part that cannot be separated. For example, American agriculture is planted for food in our country, but American agricultural cultivation is completely a mechanized agricultural economy."
"When I was doing research in Chicago, I learned that the United States' agricultural level is at least one hundred years higher than other countries."
Did you misunderstand this guy?
Huang Guoqiang's sigh and heavy expression made Shen Jiannan wonder again whether he had misunderstood him. After all, there are many problems with others from the perspective of God, but in this era, some things cannot be seen from the perspective of the future.
At least, what Huang Guoqiang is right now.
It is not easy to be delayed for more than three hundred years, and it is no longer easy to be able to reach a distance of a hundred years.
"Our country is a big country in the Agricultural University, right?
But in the 19th century, the United States began to plan agricultural modernization. More than a decade of development has made American agriculture now have a great advantage, because most of the United States have now mechanized, and in some aspects it can be said that it surpasses many countries that have just started. Guess, how many kilograms of corn can be produced in one acre of land in the United States?"
“…”
The tone of questioning immediately attracted the attention of all the students present. Most of the students were from rural families and their confidence in the agricultural power has always been cured in their bones.
But when Huang Guoqiang said this, he naturally felt too many doubts and desire for knowledge.
Looking at the curious eyes, Huang Guoqiang stretched out two fingers with his expression.
All the students present were stunned by this stretch.
You should know that even if the weather in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is good, the corn yield is only more than 800 kilograms. This is the result of a huge increase in the number of kilograms of fertilizers no longer limiting the yield in a few years. In the early 1980s, fertilizer purchases and sales were restricted, and the average corn yield was only more than 400 kilograms.
"Two thousand kilograms?"
"How is this possible?"
"Professor Huang, you're not kidding!"
“…”
Huang Guoqiang shook his head heavily.
This shaking of the head seemed to shake the confidence in many people.
But at this moment, Huang Guoqiang spoke again.
"It's not two thousand kilograms. It's two thousand kilograms!"
quiet.
Deadly silence.
It was like a thunder bombarding the consciousness of all students.
The yield per mu is up to 800 kilograms, while the yield per mu is as high as 4000 kilograms...
How is this possible!
"How is this possible?"
A student stood up excitedly and questioned Huang Guoqiang. He seemed to be joking in his eyes full of hope, but there was an infinite loss and collapse deep in his eyes.
China is Asia's largest industrial country.
Agriculture is everything that every farmer family is proud of. With its hard work and hard work, farmers have repeatedly set new highs in China's grain exports.
But......
Finally, a student came back from the shock.
Others are not afraid of being strong, but great men say that technology is the primary productive force and you can make progress by learning.
If you fall behind, you can learn to catch up.
So what about the three hundred years gap!
"Professor Huang, do you know why their output is so high?"
Huang Guoqiang frowned and pondered for a moment, saying, "On the surface, it is because the United States has high scientific planting and mechanized production. In the provinces with the largest agricultural and grain production in the United States, whether it is planting or harvesting, it is completed in all aspects by mechanization. Sowing is done by airplanes, harvesting, and harvesting machines.
With scientific management, their agricultural output is extremely high.
But from the most fundamental reason, it is actually a system issue.
I want to ask everyone here, do you want to be farmers?"
Who wants to be a farmer?
When this question was asked, the students present immediately had their first answer in their hearts - they didn't want to.
Why do countless families have worked hard to make their children study?
In order to leave the countryside and stay away from the land.
Why did the students get into university through hard work and travel thousands of miles to leave their hometowns and go to school?
read?
No, in order not to be a farmer.
Farmers are the humblest profession; no matter how hard they work, they will be able to get a full stomach in the harvest and starve to death in the famine.
No one wants to be a farmer.
Obviously, Huang Guoqiang knew everyone's answer very well, and he did not continue to ask this question. He changed his subject and then turned to other topics.
"The environment of mankind or nature has always been a history of survival of the fittest, and for thousands of years of human beings, it has been a pyramid hierarchy. The economic strength of the United States does not only rely on the financial level of dazedness, but both agriculture and technology are at least one hundred years ahead of developing countries."
"In the United States, farmers have a very high status. The average annual income of a farmer's family is as high as 30,000 US dollars. It is equivalent to the middle class level. Almost every farmer has at least one car. The social status of farmers is also very high. A farmer will be treated like a VIP when he goes to the bank."
"But it is not the case in other countries. For example, a student before me always avoided talking about his family when he mentioned his family to his classmates in the city. Why? Because his parents are farmers."
"I didn't criticize this classmate's morality, although I don't like his approach. But why didn't he mention that his parents were farmers?"
"There is only one reason. Farmers represent poverty and backwardness? They represent humility and incompetence."
"Why is this happening? The supply and demand relationship determines the value basis. Obviously, the proportion of farmers is too large."
"And his real problem still comes from the system's problems. Fairness."
"Farmers don't get the fairness they deserve."
"For example, employees of enterprises work in factories and retire with pensions and medical insurance, but farmers have nothing. They work hard all their lives until they die of old age."
"I also came from a peasant family. My father was still harvesting wheat in the field on the day he died."
"By the way. The land had not been divided at that time, and he was exhausted from working for the production team."
“…”
The students were silent.
It takes more than ten years for land to reach households. Some older students will not know what life they live in the production team.
