When the old man heard his granddaughter say this, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in and have a look."
With that said, the old man stepped up the steps with the help of the little girl.
At this time, Liu Qingyu heard someone walking up the steps. He immediately stopped talking with Qin Ruijie and walked out. He saw an old man and a little girl walking up the steps. Liu Qingyu walked quickly without hesitation. He walked down, stretched out his hand to support the old man's other arm, and said with great concern: "Old man, how about I carry you up on my back? Although this step has been reinforced, it is still not stable enough."
The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Although my arms and legs are old, my body is fine."
Later, the old man walked into their exhibition area with the support of Liu Qingyu.
Seeing the guests entering the exhibition area, Qin Ruijie and several others stopped chatting and looked at the old man and the little girl in a very friendly manner.
Liu Qingyu looked at the old man with a smile and said: "Old man, do you want to take a look at it yourself, or do you need us to help you interpret the relevant information about Xinhua District, Cangshan City? If you need anything, you can ask us. We will respect your decision."
This is the attitude of Xinhua District towards every customer who comes to the exhibition. They will not be overly enthusiastic and explain the various advantages and benefits of Xinhua District to customers so as not to offend them, but will not be too alienating and make them feel uncomfortable. Customers do not feel that Xinhua District attaches great importance to them.
After hearing what Liu Qingyu said, the old man raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Qingyu, and said with a smile: "Young man, what's your name?"
"Old man, my name is Liu Qingyu." Liu Qingyu answered directly. Although he was a little puzzled by the old man asking such a boring question, Liu Qingyu still did not show any disgust and answered very seriously.
"Oh, my name is Liu Qingyu. How old are you this year? Do you have a girlfriend?" the old man continued to ask.
At this moment, Qin Ruijie, Li Xiaoxia and others next to them all had smiles on their faces. The old man asked these questions as if he wanted to introduce someone to Liu Qingyu.
Liu Qingyu still answered very seriously: "Old man, I am 23 years old and I don't have a girlfriend for the time being."
Afterwards, the old man asked Liu Qingyu a few very common household questions. Liu Qingyu still answered very seriously. After asking 8 questions in a row, the old man stopped his questioning and said with a smile. : "Xiao Liu, I also came here to take a look at the advertisement published by Xinhua District of Cangshan City in the newspaper this morning. Your advertisement is very creative. I don't know which one of you came up with it."
Liu Qingyu said with a smile: "It is the result of all of us brainstorming together."
The old man smiled again, and then said: "Xiao Liu, in recent years, we have had very intense discussions at home and abroad about China's economic slowdown. Do you know what the main basis for these discussions is."
As soon as the old man raised this question, everyone at the scene was stunned, including Qin Ruijie.
No one expected that this old man who asked a series of common questions, as if he were the old man next door, suddenly asked a very profound question in the economic field. Moreover, the question raised by the old man was also very sharp, and most people really couldn't answer it. Coming up, even Qin Ruijie couldn't answer.
At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Liu Qingyu, because when encountering difficulties, the first thing everyone thought of was Liu Qingyu.
After hearing the old man's question, although Liu Qingyu felt a little surprised, his look at the old man was still the same as before, which looked very dull. He smiled and said: "Old man, as far as I know, at this stage, our Chinese side The voices of discussion are mainly based on research conclusions drawn from international comparisons. One of them is a researcher from Morgan Stanley who proposed that based on purchasing power parity, when per capita GDP reaches the magic number of US$7,000, a fast-growing economy usually begins to Slowing down; the other is a paper by the U.S. National Economic Research Bureau that believes that based on purchasing power parity calculations, when per capita GDP reaches $17,000, a rapidly growing economy begins to slow down."
Hearing that Liu Qingyu answered his question directly without any hesitation or reference, the old man looked at Liu Qingyu with a little more warmth and appreciation, and then asked a very professional question again: " Xiaoliu, what do you think about the issue of demographic dividend now, and how do you think China should respond to the current complex and severe economic image?"
Liu Qingyu smiled faintly and said: "Old man, I think that for us in China, the demographic dividend is declining rapidly and is very close to disappearing. Under such circumstances, the sustainability of economic development cannot rely on land. , resources, capital, and labor are becoming cheaper, and we must rely on the improvement of total factor labor productivity, including the regional transfer of industries. Labor-intensive industries should speed up the transfer to the central and western regions, including improving technical efficiency, including the government phasing out some backward production capacities. Inefficient enterprises, improve the comprehensive quality of human resources and industrial skills, and provide a good macroeconomic environment for survival of the fittest. Now, our country is vigorously rectifying and reforming these areas, and I believe we will succeed."
After listening to Liu Qingyu's answer, the old man's calm face finally showed a look of shock. However, the old man's face quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, what do you think your Xinhua District, Cangshan City When undertaking some labor-intensive high-tech industries, do you have any advantages? What is your Xinhua District’s attitude towards the pollution problem when attracting investment?”
At this moment, although Liu Qingyu's face remained calm, his heart was already turbulent, because Liu Qingyu could already feel it from the old man's questions and eyes. The old man seemed to be very calm in the areas he asked, even if it was Facing his own answer, the old man also looked at himself with a scrutiny and judgment. Liu Qingyu knew very well that the reason why he was able to answer the old man's question was because of the good education he had received since childhood. Elite education, including hanging out with his uncles such as Zhuge Feng, Dudu and Sun Guangyao since he was a child, often reading some domestic and foreign works in the fields of politics, economics, international situations and other fields under their guidance, which improved his knowledge. It has become quite broad, coupled with my voracious study during college.
Normally, Liu Qingyu is very aware of the shock that his knowledge and depth can bring to ordinary people. Liu Qingyu even bluntly believes that he is better than some so-called economic experts. However, here In front of the old man, Liu Qingyu saw a trace of indifference. Although the old man was surprised that he could answer these questions, he was not shocked. This fully showed that the old man was not very interested in the answers he gave. Satisfied, this is what shocked Liu Qingyu the most.
Therefore, when the old man asked the last two questions, Liu Qingyu answered more cautiously. He said in a deep voice: "Old man, I think that when our Xinhua District in Cangshan City undertakes labor-intensive industries, it will be different from other areas. In comparison, especially compared with the central and western regions, there is no advantage. As for the process of attracting foreign investment, when it comes to dealing with pollution issues, our Xinhua District’s attitude is that we would rather not introduce projects than let our Xinhua District When the land is polluted, the introduction of projects and funds is optional, but once the land is polluted, it is even more difficult to control. Therefore, we plan to introduce some relatively small pollution and We will not blindly introduce funds and projects to enterprises and projects that are equipped with good sewage treatment systems or even have no pollution. We do not introduce funds and projects for the sake of introducing funds and projects."
After Liu Qingyu finished speaking, the old man's face softened a little again, and he looked at Liu Qingyu with a smile. He nodded slightly and said: "Well, not bad, it seems that you have been working harder over the years, no wonder Your teacher Xu Zifeng admires you so much, you are indeed a talented person."
Liu Qingyu was stunned when he heard the old man mention his university economics tutor Xu Zifeng.
Liu Qingyu, the teacher of Xu Zifeng, is very clear. Teacher Xu is definitely a leading figure in the domestic economics circle. He learned a lot from Teacher Xu during college. Teacher Xu really admires him very much, and this old man He actually knows Teacher Xu, which shows that this old man is very special.
Therefore, Liu Qingyu treated the old man with more respect at this moment. He quickly said: "Old man, you know my Teacher Xu."
The old man chuckled and said: "We know each other. How could we not know each other? We were all college classmates back then. This time he heard that you were coming to our Nanping City to participate in this inter-provincial exchange meeting, so he recommended you to me. I wanted you to study with me, but I didn't agree. I told him that I had to come over first to inspect and see if you were qualified to be my student."
After hearing what the old man said, Liu Qingyu's eyes suddenly widened. He never thought that such a thing would happen. You know, he had just talked to the teacher on the phone a few days ago and asked the teacher some questions, but at that time Teacher Xu did not disclose this matter.
At this time, the old man said with a smile: "Don't be surprised. I estimate that your teacher will call you in a while. Then you can tell him that I will accept you as a student."
At this time, the little girl took out a written note from her pocket and handed it to Liu Qingyu and said: "Brother Liu, this is our home address and phone number. You can come over when you have time."
When Liu Qingyu took the note, he still felt a little incredible.
At this moment, the old man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Qingyu with a smile and said: "Since I, the teacher, have accepted you as my apprentice, I have to give you a greeting gift no matter what, otherwise that old guy Xu Zifeng should Call me stingy, please keep this business card and call the person on the card when you have time. It’s up to you whether you can get any benefits."
After saying that, the old man turned around and left with the little girl.
