Chapter 222 Concerns
Wang Xiaonan's injury has basically recovered, but he has not had any actual combat with Lu Shanmin recently. After all, the Donghai University Sanda League is about to start in a week. Now he is only doing some basic training, striving to return to his peak during the competition.
state.
Mou Dongyun also did not arrange actual combat for Lu Shanmin. Although Lu Shanmin was an invincible little strongman with abnormal resistance ability, if he was accidentally injured, he would not be able to cry.
During this period, Lu Shanmin did not go to Peng Xi's Sanda boxing gym anymore. He followed Mou Dongyun back to the Financial College and did some basic training with Chen Dacheng and others.
Today is Monday. Lu Shanmin went to the old professor's class as usual. In the current class, he can basically keep up with the old professor's pace.
After class, an old man and a young man were walking around the campus, attracting strange looks from many students, and many girls snickering. On campus, there were either a man and a woman in pairs, or two female best friends holding hands.
The scene of an old man and a young man walking around campus is really rare, or maybe it has never happened before.
Ma Guodong said with a smile: "Did you see their eyes?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "They seemed surprised."
Ma Guodong stroked his beard and said, "Actually, I'm also surprised."
Lu Shanmin turned around and looked at the old professor, "Why are you surprised?"
Ma Guodong smiled helplessly, "In universities, it is a natural thing for teachers and students to communicate with each other on campus, but they seemed so surprised. Do you think I should be surprised?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "They are full men who don't know how hungry they are, and they don't know how lucky they are when they are in the midst of blessings."
"Hahaha, this metaphor is very appropriate." He sighed, "Hey, we are such a spoiled generation."
Lu Shanmin couldn't help but think of Chen Kun, Huang Mei, and Zhang Li. They were full of student spirit at the beginning and gradually matured in the end. They did not comment on the quality of the road, but they finally found their own way. He said comfortingly: "Old Professor
You don’t have to worry, I believe they will mature when they leave school and enter society.”
Ma Guodong nodded, "That's right. Let them laugh as much as they want now. There will be times when they cry in the future."
Lu Shanmin giggled noncommittally. The old professor was right, sooner or later they would cry, because he had personally seen Chen Kun cry, Huang Mei cry, and even Zhang Li cry.
"Mountain people, you have been studying economics for some time, and you have also read "Fundamentals of Economics", "History of Economic Thought", and "The Wealth of Nations". After thirty years of rapid economic development, now the West, represented by the United States,
The country is badmouthing China's economy, what do you think of the future economic direction?"
Lu Shanmin frowned, knowing that the old professor was testing himself. He thought for a while and said, "Since the founding of New China, the United States has badmouthed China's economy more than once, but every time we have strongly refuted their mistakes with facts.
, I think it will be the same this time."
Ma Guodong nodded with satisfaction, "Why?"
"Subjectively speaking, our Chinese nation is the most industrious and intelligent nation in the world. In the past, the backward social system restricted China's development. After the establishment of the New China, the people are the masters of the country and work together from top to bottom.
Having a Chinese dream, twisting the rope, the national pride is also growing day by day. Objectively speaking, in the thirty years of reform and opening up, the development of our Chinese economy has relied on population advantages, and the starting point of manufacturing and industry is low.
This is the reason for our rapid growth. Based on this, Western countries believe that when our demographic dividend is gone and our infrastructure is complete, there will be no engine for economic growth and we will reach the end of economic growth. But they are wrong on this basic point.
On the contrary, I think this is not the end, but rather the starting point."
Ma Guodong's eyes lit up, "How to say"?
"Chinese people are not stupider than Westerners. They can engage in high-end upstream industries, and so can we. In the past, we lacked funds and technology. But now, after decades of development, we have money and certain technologies, and so can we.
Let’s do it. They engage in service industry and cultural export. We in China have such a large population and have a civilization of five thousand years. We can do better than them.”
Ma Guodong listened and nodded, "Continue talking."
"On the contrary, I think we have an advantage. We have enough capital. With the development over the years, the industrial system is also complete, and the manufacturing capacity is second to none in the world. Western countries have developed well in high-precision fields in recent years, but at the same time,
A large amount of manufacturing has been lost. Manufacturing is the foundation of all industries. We now have a strong foundation, which is more conducive to the development of high-precision industries."
Ma Guodong showed a pleased smile. Although Lu Shanmin's words were a bit one-sided, as a student, it is not easy to think about this level. After teaching at a financial college for so many years, it is difficult for even a student to calm down and ask for advice.
I have encountered, not to mention someone like Lu Shanmin who truly thinks while learning while integrating it with reality.
Being able to draw these conclusions shows that Lu Shanmin has started to face the world with an open heart from a closed mountain villager, and has begun to internalize and organize the information received. This is something that many college students cannot do, not to mention those who
College students do not have this ability, because many students do not have this subjective initiative.
Walking on the campus of Finance College, there are so many students coming and going. How many students have forgotten the purpose of entering this school, playing games, picking up girls, and being groggy all day long. How many of them will calm down and study?
How many of them will think about this society? The school walls focus on their bodies and even close their hearts.
"Shanmin, your analysis is very reasonable. Western countries have always controlled the upstream cutting-edge industries, and their essence is to exploit countries like ours. We now have the capital to develop high-tech and sophisticated technologies, and have achieved great results in this field.
We have made many breakthroughs, but we are still far from catching up or merely relying on sophisticated technology to compete with it. This requires the unremitting efforts of your generation."
"Another point is that in recent years, global development has been changing with each passing day, and many emerging things have emerged. These new things and industries are what we must seize. To complete overtaking in corners, in addition to competing with developed countries in high-precision industries,
, we should keep our eyes open and focus on emerging industries."
Lu Shanmin nodded, "My current knowledge is still too shallow. Some of the things I had originally felt very fresh, but I may not be able to imagine newer things at all."
Ma Guodong smiled, "It's not as difficult as you think. As I said, it's the same as grilling barbecue, learning economics, and learning mathematics. You just need to read more, listen more, think more, and practice more."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Old professor, is the Internet created by Yaqian considered an emerging industry?"
Ma Guodong nodded, "It counts as new, but not as exciting. This requires you young people to make a breakthrough."
"Old professor, I suddenly thought of a question."
Ma Guodong smiled and nodded, "What's the problem?"
Lu Shanmin thought for a while and said: "The older generation of entrepreneurs has strong capital and broad vision. Why are some emerging entrepreneurs doing new things instead? Don't they ever think about change?"
Ma Guodong laughed, "This is a good question. It's not that they don't want to change. Let me give you an analogy. Most of the people who buy lottery tickets are ordinary people. Really rich people will not buy them. Do you know why?
The probability is too small and the expected recovery is too low. He would rather invest his money in any other predictable industry than do this kind of thing."
"This is just one aspect. When a company reaches a certain level, there are too many interests involved. If you want to change, unless the leader has absolutely strong authority and can ignore all objections, otherwise the opposition from vested interests within the company will make it difficult to change.
He can't move even an inch."
Lu Shanmin suddenly realized, thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up, "Old professor, but they have another choice. They can't do new things by themselves, but they have capital and connections, and those new entrepreneurs have the hard work and technology.
, but they don’t have funds. They can choose to be investors and let others do it.”
The old professor nodded with satisfaction, "You are right. There are indeed many people doing this now, but there is a problem. Not all new things are worth investing in. In fact, most of them still fail.
Yes, this requires a precise vision, but I personally believe that in the next stage of economic development, some of these investors will become the real winners in the end."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Shanmin and said, "You don't want to work in the investment industry, right?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I just think this industry should be better. I want money now, I don't have money, I don't have people, I don't know anything, how can I do it?"
Ma Guodong nodded, "That's true. The top priority is that your task is to study hard and choose a real path. Only after you have enough capital can you be qualified to consider buying it."
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Yes, I know this."
Ma Guodong turned around and smiled, and asked in a meaningful way: "Have you been in contact with Yaqian recently?"
Lu Shanmin shook his head in embarrassment, "She has important things to do in the United States, and I'm afraid of disturbing her."
Ma Guodong held back his words, "I'm pretty smart, but why do I become so unbearable when it comes to emotional matters?"
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and said, "Old professor, she and I are just friends."
Ma Guodong shook his head, "Do you think you are not worthy of her, or are you worried about having been in love before?"
Lu Shanmin smiled bitterly and had to admit that Bai Ling's incident had a profound impact on him. The gap between him and Zeng Yaqian was infinitely greater than that between Bai Ling and Bai Ling. It was completely impossible to say that he had no worries at all.
things.
"I'm not an ungrateful person. What I can do now is that as long as she doesn't give up, I won't give up easily even if I lose my life."
Ma Guodong smiled and said, "It's great to be young. It's great to have such troubles." He handed Lu Shanmin a book.
