It was around ten in the morning.
A white-bearded Westerner stepped into the small courtyard. His expression was filled with nervousness and anticipation. The moment he stepped in, his gaze could not help but be attracted by the scene in the small courtyard.
Even though Peking University was a paradise for studying, the atmosphere here seemed to be even stronger.
Alfred Marshall's eyes lit up when he saw the children and the young man.
While he was stunned, Jiang Chen's figure also stood up and extended his hand.
"Mr. Alfred Marshall, nice to meet you!!”
Jiang Chen's words were gentle and had a British accent. Almost instantly, he attracted Alfred Marshall's attention.
"Oh my God, your pure accent, I thought I was back in Fog City!”
"Mr. Jiang Chen, nice to meet you. I'm Alfred Marshall.”
Alfred Marshall was shocked and exaggerated as he shook Jiang Chen's right hand.
Alfred Marshall was then led to a seat by Jiang Chen.
Su Qingxuan made tea.
In this era, even Europe was used to drinking tea, and Alfred Marshall was naturally used to it.
"Mr. Jiang Chen, I didn't expect you to be so young.”
Alfred Marshall said.
Then, the two of them exchanged pleasantries.
But fortunately, the Europeans were more direct than the Chinese. After a moment of small talk, Alfred Marshall went into the main topic and started talking about economics with Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Alfred Marshall, the GDP is the final result of the production activities of all resident units in a country (or region) calculated at market prices over a certain period of time. There are three forms of expression of the gross domestic product, namely, the value form, the income form, and the product form.”
"Then Mr. Jiang Chen, how should we calculate the gdd? A country is too big, so it will be extremely difficult to calculate.”
"This isn't a problem. There are generally three methods of calculation, namely the production method, the income method, and the expenditure method. The three methods reflected a country's gross domestic product and its composition from different aspects, but the theoretical calculation results were the same.”
The two of them were talking.
A fluent English voice was heard throughout the small courtyard.
Many figures pricked up their ears, but only two people in the small courtyard could understand the sound of the voice.
The others were not familiar with English.
Of course, even the two people who heard clearly were dumbfounded. They had no idea what Jiang Chen was talking about.
Of course, not only them, even Alfred Marshall was completely engrossed. Jiang Chen's words seemed to have opened up a new world for him. At the same time, more new knowledge poured into his mind, making him gradually excited.
"The remuneration of the production factors is the income of the production factors, and the remuneration of the production factors is equal to the value of the production factors. The product of a factor is the productivity of a factor.。”
"Sir, this is?"
"For example, in the short term, the price of products will change due to international trade, but the factors of production have yet to flow between departments. Therefore, international trade only affects the price of products in the short term. In other words, the owners of production factors in the export industry benefit, while the owners of production factors in the import competition industry suffer.”
.....
"As long as there is a difference in the price of the product, the two countries will continue to trade, but the final result will be that the prices of the two products in the two countries will be completely equal, and the prices of the production factors will be completely equal. At this time, if other conditions remain unchanged, the trade will stop. The result of trade between the two countries would make the prices of the production factors of the two countries equal. This trend was known as the "factor price equality theorem". The
two were still talking, and Alfred Marshall was getting brighter and brighter.
Even if he couldn't understand some of the terms, even if he could only understand them, he felt as if he had opened a treasure trove at this moment.
For Jiang Chen.
It was even simpler.
He was a person who used the era to bombard this era.
Even if Alfred Marshall was the top mathematician of this era, that was only in this era. Compared to the later generations, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Just like the economic theory of Paul Samuelson that he had just brought out.
Paul Samuelson was a famous mathematician, winner of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Economics, and professor of economics at the MIT.
Samuelson's research involved many fields of economic theory, such as general equilibrium theory, welfare economics, international trade theory, and so on. His classic book,"Economics," had sold more than four million copies in more than forty languages worldwide. It was the best-selling textbook in the world and had influenced an entire generation
of top experts. Perhaps his reputation was inferior to Alfred Marshall's, but his works were definitely higher than Alfred Marshall's. Because the latter stood on the shoulders of the former, they were naturally incomparable.
So at this moment, Alfred Marshall was almost fooled into a daze.
Unknowingly, they had been chatting for an entire day.
Even during lunch, Alfred Marshall humbly consulted Jiang Chen like a student.
This person could be considered a true scholar.
Alfred Marshall elaborated on the theory of equilibrium price, combining the traditional production cost theory, supply and demand theory, and the theory of boundary utility. He proposed the concepts of demand price, demand law, demand curve, supply price, supply law, supply curve, boundary utility, boundary production cost, consumer surplus, and so on. He analyzed the short-term equilibrium and long-term equilibrium of equilibrium price.
He was almost the foundation of the entire world's economy, so he should have his status and pride. Facing a young man like Jiang Chen, it wasn't bad for him to act like a senior, but he didn't. Instead, he studied very seriously.
At this moment, he was no different from the others in the small courtyard.
"That's all for today. If Alfred Marshall is interested, he can come to Peking University. Our school just happens to lack a talent like you.”
Jiang Chen smiled and stopped the day.
It couldn't be helped. The sky was dark now.
Moreover, he couldn't finish explaining economics in ten days and nights, let alone one day. He had only explained one person's economic theory. There were still decades of economic theory in the future.
It was impossible to finish, and he would not finish either. After all, some things in this era could not appear at this time.
"Sir, are you saying that I'm coming to Peking University to teach?”
Alfred Marshall felt like he wanted more, but he also felt that it was getting late, so he could only stop. Then Jiang Chen's words entered his ears.
This made him hesitate.
"If Mister is willing to come, we can communicate often!”
Jiang Chen smiled.
Jiang Chen didn't forget the task entrusted to him by Duke Cai. It was his mission to trick this person into coming to Peking University, so he had to complete it.
Obviously, the day's "exchange" was undoubtedly very effective.
Especially Jiang Chen's last words, Alfred Marshall's eyes instantly lit up and dispelled all his concerns.
"Sure!"
"Since it's an invitation from you, I naturally have no reason to refuse!”
"Please give me your guidance in the future!”
Alfred Marshall bowed slightly to Jiang Chen to show his respect because this was China's understanding. It was obvious that Alfred Marshall completely approved of Jiang Chen.
"Honor to be a Caster!"
Jiang Chen also nodded.
Then, things became much simpler.
When Cai Gong heard that Alfred Marshall was really going to join Peking University, his eyes lit up and he even personally came to Jiang Chen to confirm.
When he got Jiang Chen's accurate answer, Duke Cai was as happy as a child.
The addition of Alfred Marshall was not just a matter of talent.
More importantly, Peking University had a completely different meaning.
They represented Peking University and truly had the qualifications to step out of the country and into the world.
Although Jiang Chen also gave this qualification.
But Jiang Chen was teaching history, not the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
There was actually something missing.
"Mr. Cai, don't be happy too early. If I remember correctly, Mr. Alfred Marshall was born in 1842. He's already 75 years old, so I'm afraid he won't be able to stay at Peking University for long.”
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. He had obtained a large amount of information, but he knew that Alfred Marshall should have died in 1924, which was about six or seven years ago.
"It's fine, it's fine. It's enough that Mr. Alfred Marshall can join Peking University!”
"Sir, it's all thanks to you!"
Duke Cai didn't pay too much attention to it.
To be honest, economics wasn't as important to China as they thought. The only important person was Alfred Marshall. As long as he stayed at Peking University, it was enough.
Grand Duke Cai also had his own thoughts. Of course, this thought was also for the sake of the public.
Jiang Chen looked at Duke Cai strangely and didn't say anything.
He had a feeling that there would be a huge surprise coming up for Duke Cai.
Alfred Marshall, a master of economics, was bombarded by his later economic theories. Even if it was only seven years, this person might still be able to make a big piece of news.
However, he hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
He did not mind such a situation.
Honestly speaking, if he wanted to, he could win the entire Nobel Prize.
This was not a joke.
It was the truth.
However, there was no point in doing so.
He wasn't a scientist himself, and he didn't have enough research on these things. He only copied and posted them. Compared to those top scientists, he was really not a little bit inferior.
This was also the main reason why he wanted to nurture the new generation.
As long as they grew up and took over all of this, they would have a future. That would be the best help for China.
What China needed was not just a few Nobel Prizes.
What he needed was the future.
They needed talents.
A large number of talents.
A huge talent pool that could support the transformation of 400 million countries.
In the later generations, this was only barely accomplished after decades of accumulation and hairy bear's financial aid.
"However, it was barely enough. In fact, we were already crippled at that time. It also led to changes after the 21st century.
Jiang Chen didn't want that to happen again.
Therefore, the best way was to make up for this missing step.
The people in the small courtyard were his hope.
Not him.
Or rather, he was destined to become an extraordinary existence.
The entanglement with the world was probably only in this era of sudden changes.
After that, he would gradually transcend.
The night gradually passed.
Alfred Marshall's employment process was extremely fast. He officially joined Peking University the next day and became another liberal arts professor at Peking University. He was also a tenured honorary professor.
The news shocked the entire Beiping.
Even the Ministry of Education personally sent a letter to confirm.
It couldn't be helped. Alfred Marshall's status was too high, almost similar to Jiang Chen's status in China. In a sense, Alfred Marshall's international status was much higher than Jiang Chen's.
Such a person coming to China was enough to attract attention. Now, such an existence had actually joined Peking University. How could they not be shocked?
Of course, after being stunned, he was ecstatic.
The entire Ministry of Education was ecstatic.
They even praised and commended him.
This was to commend Peking University for their emphasis on attracting talents and for the perfection of talent recruitment.
To these praises and commendations, Cai Gong almost all smiled and accepted the points.
At this moment, Cai Gong was extremely pleased with himself.
It was as if all the talents in the world had returned to Peking University.
Science had Jiang Chen, liberal arts had Chinese talents, old culture, new culture, and now there was a world-famous mathematician.
This simply could not be described as having an abundance of talents. This was simply an explosion of talent. The heroes of the world were all from Peking University. Perhaps this sentence could already be shouted out at this moment.
It was even dozens of streets away from the neighboring city.
