Chapter 1208: The Chemical Worker's Top Romance

"The book doesn't take into account that the bakery owner might go bankrupt, and his employees would lose their jobs, and the bank that can't collect the loan will have bad debts, and the account manager who issued the loan will be held accountable or even fired...

Following this line of thought, the chain reaction caused by breaking the window is not as beautiful as imagined in the book, right? "

Faced with the teacher's words, Qing Yun could only nod helplessly.

Zeng Huixian smiled and said, "Whether this broken window theory is reasonable or not, we are not going to discuss it today."

Facing Qingyun's puzzled look, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not important."

After that, she stared into Qingyun's eyes and asked softly, "Now I have a question, can you tell me?

Since you also know that Bastiat is an active advocate and staunch defender of economic liberalism, why did he write in his book about a phenomenon that was summarized by Hazlitt as the Broken Windows Theory, and then picked up by Keynes, who advocated government intervention?
Don’t you think this is contradictory, kid?”

Emperor Yun hissed, then his eyes widened.

like……

It's quite divisive.

Zeng Huixian continued, "Keynesian thought... or 'school' is more accurate.

In the long history of economics, the Keynesian school dug out Bastiat's 19th century "broken windows theory" from the archives with a clear purpose.

Just from the "broken window" paradox of a bakery, we can deduce the big issues concerning the direction of economic recovery.

In the Keynesian school of thought, there are two ways for a country to create wealth.

First, relying on advanced productivity and leveraging technological advantages to improve social labor efficiency and promote economic development is an upright, sustainable and bright road.

Secondly, when a country does not have an advantage in technology and has nothing to show for it, it can only resort to the "broken window theory" to deal with the emergency. Although it is somewhat helpless to maintain economic growth in this way, it is also regarded as a stopgap measure.

High school history should have been taught before, so considering the historical background of the emergence of the Keynesian school, can you tell me what are the main means of breaking windows at the national level? "

Qing Yun swallowed hard, then looked at Zeng Huixian with an innocent face.
"Teacher, I'm a science student."

"Mother Zeng, you are making things difficult for him. Not only is he a science student, he is also a competition student. He has never taken a history class."

These words made Emperor Yun roll his eyes.

It sounds as if Lady Qianying has taken a good history class herself!
I read comics all day long in history and politics classes.

Zeng Huixian smiled helplessly, "The broken window at the national level refers to war, and World War II was a broken window that the world tacitly agreed to."

Everyone, including Momono Mukanai, was stunned.

Shi Guangyong coughed and began to supplement the teacher.

"During the Great Depression, each country responded to the economic crisis in different ways, but they all originated from Keynesian theory."

Having said this, he paused and did not mention each country specifically.

After all, his wife is from Japan.

Momono Mukana, who had been sitting at the table next to her, suddenly burst into laughter.

While everyone was confused, she leaned her body back slightly, her head tilted back, her shoulders shaking constantly, and she looked like a white swan trying hard not to laugh, trying like a quack.

After a long while, she blushed and said,
“I… I remember Guangyong once said when he was teaching us at Waseda University that when the teacher was explaining this knowledge point to him on the way, he just couldn’t understand why the Broken Window Theory, which was regarded as the golden rule, would become the Broken Window Fallacy.

In order to deepen his impression, the teacher pulled him to the side of the road, pressed the diamond on the ring against a corner of the glass of the teaching building next to him, and the glass broke.

Then the teacher asked Guang Yongjun to stand there and not move, but he ran away. Guang Yongjun paid 10 yuan in compensation, and as a result, he could only eat steamed buns for half a month.

Then the teacher told him that this is the fallacy of the broken window theory, and it will not necessarily lead to a good result. "

Qing Yun was dumbfounded.

Then he looked at Zeng Huixian, who had a head full of silver hair and a kind face, with a constipated look on his face.

He never expected that the teacher was so naughty when he was young.

The image of his young teacher standing there with bright eyes appeared in his mind, as if he had instantly traveled back to that vibrant past.

At this moment, her fingers rested lightly on the back of the mahogany chair, her body leaning forward slightly, like an ancient tree that had experienced many weathering events but was still lush and leafy, with an unknown story hidden in its trunk.

Tang Qianying even giggled as she heard this.

Only after she had spent the longest time with Zeng Huixian did she realize that Zeng Huixian was actually a child leader.

On countless afternoons, they strolled together under the cherry trees, and the petals fell like rain. Teacher Zeng would suddenly reach out like a child to catch the falling petals, and when she caught them, she would laugh out loud like a child.

Those days seemed to be turned into honey by time, so sweet.

At this moment, Tang Qianying laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back and almost slipped off the sofa. She quickly touched Zeng Huixian's arm with her fingers, her eyes full of mischief.

Shi Guangyong sighed in his heart. He knew very well that the teacher had lived like her daughter because she had lost her daughter.

However, the originally solemn atmosphere in the living room suddenly became joyful.

At this time, Qing Yun secretly glanced at the ring on Zeng Huixian's hand.

He felt... this went totally against common sense in physics!

Diamonds can indeed break glass.

Diamonds themselves are very pure diamonds.

Compared with glass, one has a Mohs hardness of 10 and the other has a Mohs hardness of 5.5, so they can be crushed easily.

But a diamond ring?

I'm sorry he can't understand.

The diamond on the diamond ring is cut, and the surface exposed outside is a flat surface. If you want to break the glass by pure hardness, you can only increase the pressure, that is, the force applied perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area.

Unfortunately, however, doing so can deform the claws holding the diamond, causing the diamond to fall out.

However, after seeing Zeng Huixian take out the diamond ring on her hand from her bag, Qing Yun stopped talking.

Artificially synthesized isometric star spinel emits a unique starlight under the light.

This is one of the top romances that belongs exclusively to chemical workers.

Well, this isn't a diamond ring!
Instead, the ring is made entirely of spinel, but it is shaped like a diamond ring top.

Not to mention breaking the glass, even wearing it on your hand as a self-defense weapon like brass knuckles is enough.

Seeing Qingyun unconsciously looking at the portrait on the wall, Zeng Huixian smiled knowingly, with a touch of tenderness and nostalgia in her eyes.

Shi Guangyong also remembered his experience as a student. He scratched his head, changed the subject, and said to Qingyun,

"The teacher also asked me a question at that time, who would take the initiative to break the window?"

As he spoke, he gestured to describe the situation at that time, with a hint of embarrassment and nostalgia on his face, as if he had returned to those ignorant days of school.

After seeing Qingyun understand a little, Shi Guangyong continued,

"The Keynesian school believes that when supply and demand are roughly the same and cannot grow, as long as the owner of the goods suffers a loss, in order to make up for the loss, new demand for goods will be generated. This demand gap can lead to an increase in supply, so that supply and demand can be balanced again."

His hands swept through the air, as if he was constructing a theoretical framework of economics, and then breaking it in an instant, and then wanted to pass on all the knowledge he had accumulated over the years to Qing Yun in an instant.

"This statement is very subtle and obscure because what we see in the translation is not the whole picture.

Youngest brother, you can check the original book "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" written by Keynes.

In the original book, Keynes himself said: "If we can't think of a better way, then building pyramids, earthquakes and even wars can also play a role in increasing wealth."

When everyone was shocked, Zeng Huixian looked at Qingyun steadily and asked softly,
"Youngest, isn't this theory completely inconsistent with what Mr. Bastiat has always advocated?"

Her voice was so soft as if she was afraid of disturbing something, but her eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing straight into the heart of the closed disciple in front of her.

Qing Yun nodded unconsciously.

Zeng Huixian continued to ask, "So, why didn't Mr. Bastiat summarize the 'Broken Window Theory' himself, but just described the phenomenon in a straightforward manner in his book like Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals?
You should understand the reason now, right?"

Qing Yun sighed and answered woodenly,

"Mr. Bastiat did not summarize the 'Broken Windows Theory' because he had actually seen the loopholes in the Broken Windows Theory." Zeng Huixian laughed, "Then why did he write about this phenomenon?"

Qing Yun rubbed his nose irritably and smiled bitterly, "Because existence is reasonable?"

Zeng Huixian shook her head, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "Think about the title of Mr. Bastiat's book."

Without waiting for Qingyun's reaction, her smile spread to the corners of her eyes, "The Visible and the Invisible".

So, the quote you said earlier by Mr. Bastiat: 'A bad economist is one who sees only the visible consequences, while a good economist sees both the visible consequences and the invisible consequences.'

What exactly does this sentence mean? You have to figure this out for yourself as an assignment.

When you have thought it through, come and talk to me."

(There is actually no standard answer to this question. Whether you are an undergraduate, a master, a doctor, a professor, or a senior professor, as your experience increases, you will see different things. Economics may be a history book at the beginning, then it becomes politics. In the middle, you will find that it is more like mathematics. At the end of mathematics, you will find that it is chemistry, and in the end you will find that it is actually a philosophy.)
The subject suddenly changed, her tone gradually deepened, and she gently patted Qingyun's knee, "Let me digress.

My child, you are a rare genius, and even give people a feeling that you are born with knowledge.

However, this is not the case for the vast majority of people in this world.

They need to rely on the lessons learned from the failures of countless predecessors to grow.

Some prices...must be paid, and only the pain you feel deeply can be engraved in your memory.

At any time, the idea of ​​trying to achieve everything in one go will be the beginning of a fatal mistake.

You have too many enemies now. If one day your identity can no longer resist..."

Zeng Huixian’s tone became increasingly solemn, “That will be the day when you are shattered to pieces.

Teacher...doesn't want to see that day."

Zeng Huixian's gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, traveling through time and space, and settling on some empty distance.

Her voice seemed to come from the depths of time, carrying an indescribable heaviness and vicissitudes.
"Keynes... In the theory of the Keynesian school, building pyramids and even war are actually the last resort."

Her words seemed to be torn by the wind, broken and scattered, "But, child, do you know? Without going through this process..."

Her voice was suddenly stuck in her throat, as if it was stuck by something and she could hardly continue.

This is not some chicken soup. Decades of ups and downs in life have made her very clear that detours are still roads, and failures and mistakes are actually nutrients for success.

Taking a quick glance at Tao Nai Mu Xiangnei over there, Zeng Huixian swallowed the unfinished words with difficulty, as if she had swallowed a fishbone with a barb, the pain made her brows slightly frowned.

But even so, she still had to say it, because this was her expectation for Qingyun, and it was also the last warning she could give.

"...Without going through this process, kid, how can you prove yourself right? In the academic world, your beard is not long enough!"

There was a hint of helplessness and pain in her voice, as if she was worried about Qingyun's future.

Seeing Qingyun was somewhat touched, Zeng Huixian smiled again, "You are still so young, and you still have a lot of time. In fact, you might as well take it slow and walk the path steadily."

At this point, Zeng Huixian seemed to remember something, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face.

"My child, I remember you said this in an interview after the college entrance examination when you talked about why you chose economics at Fudan University:

We have just opened our arms to embrace the world and integrated into the economic system of the global village.

In this process, how many losses have we suffered and how many times have we been deceived because we did not understand the rules and economic laws?

Especially in the fields of capital and finance, how much loss has our country suffered?
This is a cruel war without the smoke of gunpowder!

Our generation was born in the New China and grew up under the red flag. We must learn new ideas and strive to become new youth.

We young people are so lucky to be born at this right time!
For the needs of the country, what does reality matter? What does interest matter? What does ideal matter? What the hell does talent matter?
We young people must not forget our original aspirations, bear in mind our mission, dedicate ourselves, persist in struggle, and be determined to make achievements on this economic front! "

After repeating this passage, Zeng Huixian's eyes were full of brilliance, "Child, what you said is so good! So good!
Today I can tell you clearly that it was your words that moved me and made me accept you as my disciple.

So, today I ask you a question: for the needs of the country, what does your edge mean? What does your persistence mean? What does your youthful spirit mean?
You...Qingyun, who are you? ! "

After hearing the teacher repeating word for word what he had said to deceive people, Qing Yun, who had always been shameless, blushed and felt his ears burning as if they were roasted by fire.

He is a reborn person, but Zeng Huixian is not.

So this teacher has no idea why he can see clearly which path is feasible and which is not.

Essentially, it is for his own good, and he cannot fail to appreciate the kindness of others.

After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath and was about to speak, but he saw Zeng Huixian raised her index finger and gently shook it in front of him.

“Don’t rush to express your opinion.”

Her voice seemed to be covered with a veil, gentle yet a little majestic.

“Go back and think about it more!

I am your teacher and it is my responsibility to tell you what I see.

But there must be things I can’t see.

So, I will support you in whatever decision you make based on the specific circumstances.

But remember, what the teacher said before..."

She leaned forward and said slowly, "All legitimate interests need to be achieved by each other."

Gazing at the teacher's eyes filled with drowning starlight, Qing Yun nodded heavily and said in a clear and melodious voice, "Disciple will accept your instruction!"

There was a firmness and commitment in his voice, as if he was making a vow for his future.

We've talked enough, it's time to go home.

But when he stood up, he winked at Momono Mukainai and pointed at the tank model on the shelf and said,
"Sister-in-law, I bet you that there must be some private money in there. Take a look, there must be at least 1400 yuan!
7 pairs of wheels, 100 for each tire! Note, there should be more under the turret!"

Hehe! Are you laughing at my joke?
Shi Guangyong was so scared when he heard this that he glared at Qing Yun, "Is this how you repay your brother?"

He knew that this little bastard's joke was not so easy to watch!

What made him tremble at the moment was that the private money was actually a small matter, but...

This tank model is actually the surveillance camera that he secretly installed at home when he and Momono Mukanai just got married. He used it to observe his wife's real state at home and whether she was really willing to do housework at home.

Tao Nai Mu Xiangnei's face turned black, and her peach blossom eyes showed a stabbing look. She spoke in a cold tone,

"Guangyong-kun...you!"

"Sister-in-law, hit me gently and take care of yourself."

Qing Yun laughed loudly and urged Lady Qianying, who still wanted to watch the show, to leave quickly, leaving only Shi Guangyong's curses floating in the wind.

……

On the way back, Qingyun naturally wouldn't drive.

He took Tang Qianying and got into his Cadillac Escalade with front and rear partitions. It was convenient anyway because there was a convoy following him wherever he went.

As for the life of a normal person, it has nothing to do with him anymore.

White dragon fish clothing is a kind of leisure activity, but the prerequisite is that you have free time.

At this moment, what he lacks most is time.

He had originally planned to spend this week in the lab, but since he was dragged out, he naturally went home tonight.

There are also things that need to be dealt with on the road.

Boys and girls are at an age when they love to act pretentiously. When they meet Lady Qianying, who has no bottom line towards him, the two of them roll together as soon as the seat is laid flat in the car.

Holding back semen can cause prostate problems, but retaining semen is good for your health.

After playing for a while and admiring Tang Qianying's skin that was as beautiful as a blooming rose, Qing Yun held her in his arms, feeling her heartbeat in his palms while chatting with her.

Lady Qianying pinched his nose, put her forehead against his, and spoke timidly, "Don't be angry with Mother Zeng. She means no harm."
