Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 2046 Academic Confidant
Just after Tsinghua University President Wang Dazhong politely refused to meet Duan Yun, BJ University gave Duan Yun an unexpected surprise.

It turned out that after receiving Duan Yun's invitation, the current president of BJ University, Wu Shuqing, immediately gave Duan Yun a reply through his assistant Guo Kai, expressing his willingness to meet Duan Yun, saying that if Duan Yun is willing to visit Peking University, he will personally reception.

It can be said that the principals of Tsinghua University and Peking University took completely opposite attitudes in the face of Duan Yun's invitation. Wu Shuqing not only agreed to the invitation, but was also willing to receive Duan Yun to visit Peking University. This was somewhat beyond Duan Yun's expectations.

But after a little thought, Duan Yun quickly figured out the reason.

2000 million yuan is not a small amount for any domestic university, even higher than the annual funding of most domestic universities, but for a school like Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is not too much. Large funds, because of the annual subsidies from the state, plus the income of their school-run enterprises, can also have an income of about 2-3 million yuan a year, so a prestigious school like theirs is not short of money.

The reason why Wu Shuqing, the president of Peking University, readily agreed to Duan Yun's invitation, and even invited Duan Yun to visit the school, was probably related to his professional field.

Wu Shuqing is also in his 60s this year. He is a native of Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province. He entered the Political Economy Research Class of Renmin University of China in 1952 and stayed there after graduation in 55. He worked as an economics teaching assistant and devoted himself to economics teaching and theoretical research.

In other words, Wu Shuqing has always been studying economics. In 1980, he published "A Correct Understanding of the Purpose of Socialist Production" and other articles. A series of papers such as Several Issues on Enhancing the Vitality of Enterprises, Mutual Assistance and Equivalent Exchange in a Socialist Economy, etc. Last year, he also published China’s Macroeconomic Management and Political Economy. , it can be said that in the field of economics, he is a top expert in China, and he has achieved a lot in these years, and he can be called a leading figure in Chinese economics.

Therefore, Wu Shuqing was able to accept Duan Yun's invitation, and the donation may still be secondary. The most important thing is that Duan Yun is currently the best private entrepreneur in China, with rich practical business experience, and many of his legendary experiences and business methods are outstanding. It has been regarded as a classic example, and even appeared in the economics teaching plans of some domestic colleges and universities. From this point of view, Wu Shuqing and Duan Yun have a common language. The former is the best economic and business theorist in China. The latter is the most successful practical entrepreneur in China. The communication between the two will definitely bring some inspiration to each other. This is the important reason why Wu Shuqing, the president of Peking University, invited Duan Yun to visit the school.

At this moment, Duan Yun seemed to have some understanding of his behavior. For a long time, relying on strong financial resources and resources, the easiest way for Duan Yun to deal with some difficult problems is to use money to open the way, but in fact, Money can indeed solve most of the problems, but not all problems can be solved with money. Some people just don’t like you, and Duan Yun somewhat despises some of the top domestic elites. In fact, these people still have a lot of problems. Tall and strong.

After receiving the assistant's report, Duan Yun immediately called BJ University, and the call was finally transferred to Wu Shuqing's office.

During the phone call, both parties were very enthusiastic. After exchanging pleasantries, Duan Yun accepted Wu Shuqing's invitation and will visit BJ University at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

After all, Duan Yun is also a public figure, and his fame and influence are actually much greater than Wu Shuqing's. From this point of view, the two are people of the same level, and there is no difference in social status between them.

After the call, Duan Yun arranged for his assistant, Guo Kai, to go to Xinhua Bookstore and buy two books by Wu Shuqing, including "Wu Shuqing's Selected Works" published in 90, and "China's Macroeconomic Management" published last year.

In fact, over the years, Duan Yun has occasionally read some books on economics, but what the books provide are only some theories, and there is a certain gap with actual experience, but some economists can indeed bring Duan Yun It cannot be said that Duan Yun benefited a lot from some other observation and thinking angles, but it did give Duan Yun some inspiration.

The fact that Duan Yun wants to buy the book this time is to ask Wu Shuqing to sign his book to gain the favor of the other party. This is easier to make Wu Shuqing happy than giving gifts. After all, many scholars are happiest when their research results are recognized and respected. matter.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Duan Yun changed into a brand new suit and went directly to BJ University by car.

In his previous life, Tsinghua University and Peking University had always been Duan Yun's dream, but at that time, although Duan Yun was studying well, Tsinghua University and Peking University still had an unattainable threshold for him.

However, this time, he was invited to visit Peking University as a VIP. For Duan Yun, it really felt like a dream.

When Duan Yun's car stopped at the gate of BJ University, the staff immediately invited them to the campus, and at the gate of the office building of BJ University, Wu Shuqing and several other leaders of the school were already waiting there.

"Hello, Principal Wu!" After seeing Wu Shuqing, Duan Yun immediately smiled and stretched out his hand from a long distance away.

"Welcome!" Wu Shuqing was also smiling, and went forward to shake hands with Duan Yun.

"Principal Wu, I can see you in person." Duan Yun greeted warmly, then turned to wink at his assistant Guo Kai.

The next moment, assistant Guo Kai took out two books from his bag and handed them to Duan Yun. These two books were exactly the works of Wu Shuqing bought at Xinhua Bookstore yesterday.

"This is..." Seeing Duan Yun handing these two books and a pen to him, Wu Shuqing asked in confusion.

"Principal Wu, I have read your masterpiece before, but this time I finally saw the author himself, so I would like you to sign the book, and I will carefully collect it in the future." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" Sure enough, upon hearing Duan Yun's words, Wu Shuqing's face immediately showed a bit of joy, and at this time several school leaders who followed him also showed smiles.

Friendship is precious, and above friendship is the so-called confidant, who affirms and appreciates each other, which made Duan Yun and Wu Shuqing have a deep affection for each other from the very beginning.
