Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 70 26. Economic Advisor
Since Sanzang became famous, his classes have become more popular with students.

Because he doesn't follow the textbook very much in class, sometimes if he encounters very professional knowledge, he will simply explain it clearly through examples, which is easy to understand.

Moreover, he has no pretensions, is very easy-going, and can joke with the students.

When students come to ask questions that are not what he teaches, if he knows, he will answer them, and if he doesn't know, he will say no frankly. He treats people very sincerely.

Many students from the collateral department also came here to listen.

After the start of school, his course became David Ricardo's "Principles of Political Economy and Taxation",
They are all textbooks he got from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

What he is giving a lecture today is the theory of comparative advantage, which is the core point of view. I saw a black buddy sitting down there listening to the class.
It is not surprising that many friendly African countries have also sent international students to study in Yandu.

"Teacher!" Hei Buddy raised his hand, motioning for him to speak.

"What is the theory of comparative advantage?" He is not surprised to hear his fluent Chinese. Thanks to the foresight of the country's leaders, we also have a group of fans in Africa.

"International trade is based on relative rather than absolute differences in production technology, and the resulting relative cost differences.

In fact, we have fallen into a misunderstanding when engaging in foreign trade. Compared with Western countries, our industrial products have a large technological gap.
But it is not useless, there is still a market, and underdeveloped countries like Africa need our things very much.

In fact, the African brothers also fell into a misunderstanding, and finally sold resources for some US dollars.
Going to buy western advanced things, not to mention the exorbitantly expensive prices, and they still don’t know how to make them, always get tricked.

In fact, you should buy our things, which are cheap and good, simple and easy to operate. "

Hearing the eyes of the black buddies below, they kept nodding.

"Which classmate knows about 'Tian Ji's horse racing'?"

"This classmate, you answer!"

"'Tian Ji horse racing' means that Sun Bin taught Tian Ji to use the inferior horse to compete with the king's superior horse.
Then use the best horses to compare with the king's middle horses, and use the middle horses to compare with the king's low-grade horses,

In this way, Tian Ji won two victories and one loss, and finally won the king of Qi's thousand gold bet. "

"Good! Sit down, please! This is a typical comparative advantage! Got it?"

"understand!"

"Very good! This is the end of this class!"

After the lecture, Sanzang picked up the textbook and walked to the office, and then the black buddies took a book and chased after him.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

After hearing this, Sanzang turned around and saw that it was the black buddies.

"Teacher! Hello! I am Mubappe, an international student from the country of Zimbabwe!"

"Hello! What's the matter?"

"Can you sign this book for me?"

"Of course!" Sanzang looked at it and smiled. It turned out to be "The Story of Currency".
Someone really got limped by him, took out a pen and signed his name and handed it to the black buddies.

"Are you okay?"

"Here! Would you like to hear my story?"

"Okay! Let's go to the gazebo over there to talk!"

"Okay! Have you heard of the country of Zin (Babuwe)?"

"I've heard of it!" Sanzang replied affirmatively. The most "rich" country in the world is rich in tobacco.

"My father also studied in Yandu, and he is also fluent in Chinese!

My father taught me to learn Chinese since I was a child, and when I mentioned your country, I was fascinated. "

Sanzang nodded, he was also a big fan of ***.

"Last year, our country just broke away from the suzerain country, and established diplomatic relations with your country on the same day.

My father was also appointed as the Home Minister of Chicheng (Chinoi), the capital of West Malaysia Province (Mashonaland West).

After more than ten years of armed struggle, the country is devastated, the people are impoverished, and the treasury is empty. It is really hopeless.

My father sent me here just to learn the advanced experience of your country.

I don't know where to start, since I read this book, I want to know its author, he is definitely an economic expert.

By chance, I found out that you are the author of this book,
And I heard some teachers and classmates say behind their backs that you are an archmage, you must have great abilities, right?

I would like to solemnly invite you to be my father's economic advisor! "

"Ah! This is impossible!"

Sanzang was dumbfounded when he heard this, how could he go to Tianjin to be an economic consultant when he was living a good life.

Sanzang’s relative Sanshu Gonghe once went to Zambia (Biya) to assist in the construction of the Tanzania-Zambia Railway in 21 years. One of his cousins ​​has a word Zan in his name to commemorate this event.

The conditions in Zambia are very difficult, and his third uncle has been in poor health since he returned to China!

Now the conditions in Jin State are worse than those in Zan State. If he is having a hard time, maybe he will give it a try and become an economic consultant!
With a net worth of nearly 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, how could he live a comfortable life.

"Look! I'm just a teacher! I haven't done anything important! You'd better hire someone else! Goodbye!"

Sanzang took the book and left in a hurry, and he didn't want to suffer.

Mubappe is not disappointed at all. He has learned Chinese since he was a child, and he is also a person who has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very well.
Those who are capable need to be invited many times,
You can tell from the name that the teacher is a person of great ability, Master Sanzang!
Sanzang was in trouble, and Mubappe followed him wherever he went.

When he went home, Mubappe followed him home, and he didn't go in at the gate of the courtyard. He stayed until dark and went back by himself.

Mubappe almost became his bodyguard, and after more than ten days like this, Sanzang completely collapsed and had to agree.

"I'm just going to take a look with you! There may not be a good way!
Also, I'm not an archmage, and I don't have the ability to call wind and rain!do you understand? "

"understand!"

"I……"

Sanzang has also thought a lot in the past ten days. In fact, people should not be too comfortable. They also need a little adventurous spirit and a little overseas pioneering spirit.

He thought of that place in the Middle East, where tribal armed conflicts, religious conflicts, coups, pirates,
But for the sake of oil, there are still so many oil companies rushing in one after another.

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in the southeast of the African continent and borders Zambia in the northwest.

Mineral resources are very rich, including coal, chromium, iron, platinum, gold and diamonds and so on.

Sanzang decided to go there and have a look, and if he could get something, he would get it, and if he couldn't get it, he would come back.

He is a university teacher now, and he can't just leave if he wants to. After thinking about it, he decided to ask Boss Duan for his opinion first.

Sanzang rode his bicycle to Boss Duan's house. Boss Duan listened to his description,
I was also silent, it is not in the country, it is very safe, if you arrive in Jin country and you are not familiar with the place, your life will really be in danger.

"what are you thinking?"

"Now we mainly rely on the export of rare earths, oil, various minerals, silk, etc. to obtain valuable foreign exchange,

In fact, it is equivalent to 'selling blood', which is unsustainable.

In fact, our industrial products are also very marketable..."

When Sanzang talked about the theory of comparative advantage and Tian Ji's horse racing, Boss Duan was very interested.

"African brother countries are poor, but it doesn't mean they are unprofitable. I want to explore the way!"

"Have you really made up your mind?"

"Think about it! People always need to be a little adventurous!"

Boss Duan nodded appreciatively, "Not bad! You can ask me if you have any other requirements!"

"Then can you give me two good bodyguards?

It is best to know some medical skills, I am a little afraid of death! "

"Hahaha! Good! I promise you! But you have to pay their wages yourself!

In case of emergency, you can contact the local foreign department! "

"Understood! The passport and visa..."

"I'll help you! Come and get it in three days, and then I have something else to tell you!"

"Ok!"

Sanzang came out of Boss Duan's house with his bicycle, and was a little scared when he was blown by the cold wind and wanted to retreat.

It's just that now everything has been brought to Boss Duan, and he can't retreat if he wants to, but he can only bite the bullet and move forward.

"My husband only holds the Wuhook with one hand, what are you afraid of! A man is dead and a bird is in the sky! Immortal for thousands of years!"

Sanzang secretly encouraged himself!
