"Dean, I'm a freshman. I've only been in school for half a year. If you ask me to give a speech above, aren't you afraid of what the seniors who are sophomores, juniors, and seniors might think?" Su Xing asked He Wenxiang.

"What can they think? Sophomore and junior students do not go directly to the sophomore and junior year after the college entrance examination. They also have to go through the freshman year like you. If someone is good enough, the school will also let them give a speech. This speech is for

It is about applying what you have learned. You cannot just learn the knowledge in books. You only know about currency, finance, absolute advantage, choice cost, and arc elasticity of demand.

These terms are not enough. We have to predict the future economic situation based on the development of society, including predicting the laws of economic development based on promulgated policies. The theory must be combined with reality, and we cannot work behind closed doors. We must express our thoughts and let everyone

Listen, take a look, and participate in discussions, this is the purpose of learning, especially for those engaged in economics."

"Okay, I'll go up and talk about it." Su Xing nodded.

"There are still two days left, so you can make some preparations. Many people are vying for such a spot. If you can say something in-depth, it will be very beneficial to your personal development." He Wenxiang patted Su Xing's shoulder.

, "If you have any questions, contact me. I'm in the office and you're familiar with it."

"There is nothing to prepare, just go up when the time comes." Su Xing was very calm, not nervous at all.

Now it was He Wenxiang's turn to be surprised. He was about to leave, but when he heard Su Xing's words, he turned around and said, "Why, you already have a speech topic in mind?"

"Yes." Su Xing nodded, and before He Wenxiang could ask further questions, Su Xing took the initiative and said, "I will use this sentence as the title of the speech: the trend and direction of future economic development. Dean, what do you think?"

"Trend refers to good or bad, and direction refers to industry. These are two topics." He Wenxiang is the dean of Peking University and has a strong ability to analyze problems. "You are making predictions."

"That's right, just making predictions." Su Xing nodded.

The two of them were standing at the classroom desk, just chatting for a few words. Now He Wenxiang gestured and sat down with Su Xing. He wanted to have a good chat.

The topic of awakening interested him.

"Making predictions is not easy, especially for students who are new to economics. Those who engage in economics not only need to understand this knowledge, but also history and politics. Economics, history, and politics cannot be separated.

"Trinity, separated from history and politics, economics is just something in books and cannot be applied in practice." He Wenxiang said.

"That's true." Su Xing nodded.

He Wenxiang looked at Su Xing: "You can't make predictions too far ahead. It won't mean anything after a hundred years. In the short term, you have to be very confident and well-founded, otherwise you will easily become a laughing stock."

"I have some insights into China's economic situation in the next ten or even twenty years, and I will not be wrong in my judgment." Su Xing is very confident.

"Well, I won't ask you now. I'll wait for your speech in two days." He Wenxiang nodded. He specifically told Su Xing this to emphasize that economic forecasts must be made cautiously and cannot be done.

Talking randomly, especially in front of so many people and with school leaders involved, is a way to discredit yourself.

But Su Xing was not scared at all, but was very confident, which made He Wenxiang feel more at ease.

Shi Sheng praised Su Xing many times in front of He Wenxiang. He Wenxiang knew some things about Su Xing, and after six months of contact, he liked Su Xing even more. He even wanted to ask Su Xing to report to him when he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

Under his name, he will lead the apprentices.

The two days passed quickly. Su Xing only spent a little time in the library to read a few books. That afternoon he arrived at the school auditorium.

Peking University was founded in 1898. It was originally called Capital University. It was the first national comprehensive university in modern China. It was also the country's highest educational administrative agency when it was founded.

During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the location was moved from the capital to the south, and then to the southwest. It was not moved back to the capital until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

Experienced many vicissitudes of life.

A lot of people came, not only students and teachers from the Su Xing department, but also students from other departments, and even reporters.

This is normal. Reporters came here not only to take pictures of the event as promotional materials, but also as a well-known domestic university, the thoughts and ideas of Peking University’s students and teachers are also worthy of reporters’ follow-up coverage.

This is just like talking about truth between the poor and the rich. No matter how reasonable the words of the poor are, not many people are willing to believe them. However, no matter how many flaws there are in what the rich say, and even if they are obviously inconsistent with the three views, there are still people who will compliment them.

The activities of a department in an ordinary university would only involve students at the school's press station taking a few photos as publicity materials within the school. But in the auditorium of Peking University, Su Xing saw several off-campus reporters, and they were relatively well-known media outlets.

The wake-up speech was arranged at the end as the finale.

After waiting for about an hour, the host mentioned Su Xing, and then Su Xing walked onto the podium smoothly and took the microphone from the host.

"The topic I want to talk about has just been mentioned by the host. I am studying economics, and the economy is closely related to everyone's lives. The most direct reaction is that the domestic economy will improve, and everyone will have more money in their hands, and there will be more job opportunities. If there are more people, life will be better. After 20 years of opening up, my country's per capita GDP growth rate is very high, 6 to 7 percentage points higher than the world average. This is something to be proud of. We are neither stupid nor worse than anyone else. ." Su Xing got to the point directly.

"The development of a country and a nation is just like an individual's life experience. There will always be ups and downs and times of falling, but as long as the person is strong, he will eventually be able to stand up. We have five thousand years of cultural heritage as a

The soul of the nation has experienced one hardship after another, but it has also experienced many glories. Now we are experiencing glory, and it will become more and more glorious."

"In 1978, the total domestic economy was less than 400 billion. Now it has increased to more than 10 trillion, an increase of dozens of times! The most intuitive manifestation of these increases is that people have gone from not having enough to eat to

It takes a month or even a few months to be able to eat enough food, but to be able to afford meat if you can't afford it.

If you eat meat once, you will be able to eat meat every day. The economic situation is so good now, will the economic situation be so good in the future? Can the GDP growth rate be maintained at 8 or even 9 percentage points?
