Chapter 174 Great Welfare

The Spring Festival in 2004 was very early, and it was the Chinese New Year on January 22, which was much earlier than the normal year.

It was about to be the exam season, and the Peking University campus, which was used to being lazy, seemed to be a little more in a hurry.

Chen Qiaoshan once heard a joke that Peking University students study for 18 hours a day, seven days a week, and two weeks a semester.

This is actually not a joke. Peking University students are generally more casual, not as rigorous as Tsinghua University, nor are they so rigid. Of course, the key is that they do not lack the ability to handle exams.

As the exam approached, the school also made corresponding arrangements, and the time for lights to be turned off in the dormitory was postponed to 2 o'clock in the evening.

Chen Qiaoshan also felt a little pressure, and there was nothing he could do. If he walked too much at night, he would always run into ghosts. He skipped classes in the early stages too many times, and he had been stared at by the teachers of several courses. If he didn't work harder now, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaoqin is by my side, and the two of them have the same public election courses. With her help, it is not difficult to handle the final exam.

...

On this day, the first two classes in the morning were to learn English in finance. This is one of the few professional courses in the first semester of the freshman year, although it is just an instrumental course.

It goes without saying that Guanghua’s teachers are all well-known.

As Chen Qiaoshan knows, Zhou Houqing, who teaches finance English, is a graduate student in finance majoring in returning from studying abroad.

He was a little puzzled. It would be a bit useless to choose to teach English after learning finance. However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. The teachers of this English school must not be able to teach this course. Perhaps the college’s arrangements in this course may be forced to do so.

After all, the domestic economy has just been in line with the international community, and there are very few professional talents everywhere, so it is not surprising that such arrangements are made.

As soon as class started, the teacher talked about the final exam on the podium.

Chen Qiaoshan was not worried about this at all. After using it, there was nothing to worry about. He was thinking about it when he was suddenly interrupted by the sound on the podium. There was no way, he was calling his name.

"Class Chen Qiaoshan!"

Chen Qiaoshan stood up in response. He was a little surprised. He didn't know what Teacher Zhou was calling him now.

"Teacher Zhou." He greeted honestly.

Zhou Houqing glanced at Chen Qiaoshan who was standing up, picked up the lesson plan in front of her and flipped it over, then said, "You are Chen Qiaoshan. Our class has been open for two or three months, and it seems that we don't meet often."

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter was heard in the classroom.

The financial experimental class originally only recruited thirty people, and Chen Qiaoshan squeezed in. For a major, the number of people is actually relatively small. Of course, it is many times stronger than the situation of the sixth generation single-passing history of the Paleontology Department of Peking University.

One person is a department. I don’t know what the situation is when taking this major course. Professors may be better at leading graduate students than this.

Chen Qiaoshan was very helpless. He often skipped classes. In fact, if you calculate it carefully, the least you missed in the course of learning English in finance.

At the beginning, he didn't pull off a single class, but the progress of the later courses slowed down, so he was too lazy to come. Unexpectedly, he was lifted out today.

But now that things have come to this point, Chen Qiaoshan can't say anything, he still has to take the blame himself.

"Let me see, there are four classes a week. September is fine. In October, you escaped for more than half of it. In November, you are even more powerful. You won't be able to meet you directly."

Zhou Houqing flipped through the record book in her hand and said, "Class Chen Qiaoshan, you are so embarrassed by this!"

There was another burst of laughter in the audience, and Chen Qiaoshan could only listen honestly. He also wanted to save face, and his face felt a little uncomfortable.

"Of course, I'm not going to criticize you today!"

Zhou Houqing changed her mind and continued: "Just yesterday, the old dean of our college called me and praised me very well, saying that I was good at teaching. The class I led was the first student in the country to get a high-level English certificate in finance."

After a pause, she continued, "Do you know? I was very ashamed at that time. I really wanted to explain to the old dean that your achievements really didn't have much to do with me."

The class suddenly became silent, and the laughter that had been gloating disappeared, and instead looked shocked.

Chen Qiaoshan was also stunned. He never expected that there would be such a big turning point here.

Zhou Houqing didn't say anything else, picked up chalk and wrote two English words on the blackboard, and asked instead: "Who can help me translate this economic term?"

Chen Qiaoshan looked at the blackboard, courtnot-model, he knew the word "transliterated" by Gunno model, which was an early oligarchical model.

He was a little surprised that this was not a vocabulary within the scope of finance English, and even if you look up the English-Chinese dictionary, you can't find it.

It was also a coincidence that Chen Qiaoshan was reading "Long-term Stock Investment" written by Wharton professor Jamie Siegel, which involved the content of the Guno model.

Speaking of this, Chen Qiaoshan was speechless. This book is actually a comprehensive book about the financial market, but due to the name, it is not popular in China.

He found this book in his recommendation after reading "Irrational Prosperity". He went to the library to search, but couldn't find the Chinese translation.

Finally, with the help of the library administrator, a Chinese translation version was retrieved. Chen Qiaoshan saw the first look of the Chinese translation and almost cursed.

This book was translated and published by Tsinghua University and is called "Stories of Stock History Trends on Investment - When the Storm is Rising, Watching Me Alone" is full of private goods and full of complaints.

The English name of this book should actually be: Long-term stock investment: authoritative guidance for financial market profits and long-term investment strategies.

Chen Qiaoshan knew that this must be the selfish thoughts of Tsinghua translators, and he gave them the title of Tsinghua. He was helpless to think about it. The key is that the name is too vulgar and does not match the content, but it should be quite fooling people.

Fortunately, Tsinghua still has the ability. Although the title of the book is filled with private goods, it is not so satisfactory, and the translation level is still very high. Chen Qiaoshan finished comparing English and Chinese, and gained a lot.

...

After Zhou Houqing asked about the question, there was no one in the class who said that he had never touched the word. Many people with reference books were checked, but they were still at a loss.

Teacher Zhou looked at the situation in the classroom and saw that no one answered. Then he looked at Chen Qiaoshan and asked, "Do you know?"

This question was full of no end, but no one in the classroom could misunderstand it, and they all turned back to stare at Chen Qiaoshan.

There is nothing we can do about this. This guy likes to sit behind him, and everyone is used to it.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't want to show off this, but judging from the current situation, Zhou Houqing was obviously targeting him. After thinking about it, he simply let go and answered.

"This translation is called the Gunno Model, the full name is the Gunno Duopoly model, courtnot, duopoly, model. It was proposed by French economist Gunno in the 19th century..."

Chen Qiaoshan did not keep it anymore and explained the rise and principles of the Guno model he knew.

He also has no choice. Learning English in finance is not simply learning English words. You have to understand thoroughly, otherwise it would be a mysterious word that would be of no use at all.

Everyone in the classroom was stunned. They were still watching Chen Qiaoshan's jokes, but they were stunned in a blink of an eye.

There is no weak person who can enter the experimental class. Although Chen Qiaoshan is the top scorer in Henan Province, the top scorer is the least valuable in Guanghua.

If Peking University can divide half of the top scorers in the country every year, then half of them will be included in Guanghua.

Although Chen Qiaoshan's notice and commendation certificate was posted in Guanghua's information column, no one took it seriously. It was difficult for a certificate exam. Some of them here also won the championship in the International Olympic Championship, but they didn't see anyone doing anything.

In 2003, those who have not been exposed to financial economics will never know how difficult it is to pass the advanced certification of finance English. The central bank issued less than 100 intermediate certificates every year, and very few can obtain advanced certificates.

After Chen Qiaoshan finished speaking, there was a silence in the classroom.

He talked for a long time, but there was no way. If he wanted to explain the Guno model clearly, it would definitely be impossible to say a few sentences, especially Western economic terms. If he wanted to explain them thoroughly, it would involve more professional vocabulary.

In today's country, only a very small number of people are familiar with Western economics, and most of them hold teaching positions in major universities, or hold practical positions in key institutions of the "one company and three meetings".

In today's society, economics has not been popularized at all. When it comes to economics, many people will not understand it.

After finishing the talk, Chen Qiaoshan realized that it was completely unnecessary. The people in the classroom might not be able to listen to what they said. He couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhou's voice broke the silence soon. She asked curiously: "Chen Qiaoshan, have you studied economics before? Or are your family members engaged in this field?"

Chen Qiaoshan felt a little funny. He was all about it. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but joke.

"Maybe it was influenced by my mother. How to say it, my family is from the countryside and the conditions are not very good. My mother is worried about the tuition and living expenses of the four brothers and sisters every year. She also tries to save as much as possible in life, and she won't give me a penny more. Of course, it won't be shorter. Over time, I'll be interested in making money. This is also the source of family education."

This joke may not be funny at all, anyway, the slightest laughter in the classroom is worthy of.

Zhou Houqing was helpless with the student. He said to Chen Qiaoshan: "Okay, you sit down first."

After a little slowing down, she continued: "Chen Qiaoshan, since you have obtained the advanced certificate, you can be exempted from this course this year, and I will give you the best."

"Of course, I'm not encouraging everyone to skip classes, but if everyone can reach Chen Qiaoshan's level, you can come to me."

As soon as Zhou Houqing finished speaking, there was another noise in the classroom, but it soon became quiet. Everyone knew in their hearts that there was no hope for reaching Chen Qiaoshan's level.

Chen Qiaoshan was very surprised, but he didn't expect that he would get a benefit by turning around.

He knew that the test scores only accounted for 60% of the total score, and the rest were attendance and homework results. Excellence was not the result of him.

"Chen Qiaoshan, now, I'll give you two choices. We have three semesters of courses in finance English. You can continue to take my class. Of course, I know this is a waste of your time."

Zhou Houqing slowed down before continuing: "I recommend you choose an elective course to replace the credits of this course, but it is only for humanities and social sciences. If you want, I will greet you with the teaching subject."
