Chapter 55 You ask me what is the use of Peking University’s Economics Department?

Dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door"

Li Changhe stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and then saw Professor Zhu and his family standing at the door.

"Uncle Zhu"

"Aunt Liu"

Li Changhe immediately shouted respectfully.

"Well, Changhe, let's talk to your parents."

Professor Zhu looked at the young man who was about to become his son-in-law and spoke gently.

"Old Zhu is here?"

"Come in, come in."

At this time, Shen Yuxiu hurried over and greeted them warmly.

In the past, the two families were colleagues, good neighbors, and daily girlfriends. From now on, they will probably become even closer and become in-laws.

Li Lishan also stood up to greet them, and then the four of them sat down around the coffee table.

As for Li Changhe, there is no place for him to sit anymore.

Li Changhe had to boil water to make tea and get some melon seeds, peanuts, etc.

After finishing all this, Li Changhe returned to his room obediently. He had no right to interrupt the conversation outside.

Zhu Lin also hid in her own room. She also had no say in matters such as marriage.

Seeing Li Changhe walking in, Zhu Lin remembered his performance in the afternoon and immediately glared at Li Changhe.

"My parents are out here, don't be too reckless."

It would be fine if there was no one at home, but since there were people at home, she couldn't allow Li Changhe to do whatever he wanted.

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Changhe was speechless. He had been impulsive in the afternoon.

"Ah, I just feel that I have wronged you!"

Li Changhe sighed and said helplessly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe with some confusion.

"Getting married, the process is so simple, just go get a certificate and give out some wedding candy"

After hearing this, Zhu Lin said nonchalantly: "What's the big deal? Isn't this how everyone gets married?"

"We have group weddings in our medical school. A group of people get married together. We drink water and eat candy downstairs, and that's it."

"It's like this these days. Revolutionary weddings don't require extravagance or waste."

"Why, are you still thinking about the old days of beating drums and gongs, a sedan chair with eight bearers, and a long wedding dress?"

Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe nodded: "Don't mention it, I have really thought about it."

"Humph, you feudal remnant, be careful or I'll report you."

Zhu Lin said to Li Changhe with a smile.

Li Changhe smiled and said nothing.

This generation has particularly positive ideas, but in ten or twenty years, these rules will come back again.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you insist on applying to the Economics Department of Peking University?"

"You are such a good writer, why don't you apply for the Chinese department?"

Zhu Lin asked the doubts in his mind at this time.

These days, apart from young people's literary dreams, the Chinese department has another advantage, which is that it is both red and professional.

Chinese people should learn Chinese, Marxism-Leninism, and the thoughts of great men. This is the way of the modern university. Therefore, the Chinese department is now the most popular major in major universities, and outstanding students are scrambling to get in.

"The main thing is, you see, I have published so many novels, and I will publish a book soon."

"Why would I go to the Chinese department?"

"On the contrary, I think the economics department has a bright future."

"You see, the 11th National Congress said that we must build our country into a modern socialist power."

"The higher-ups have put order into the chaos, and we are back on track. Next we must develop the national economy, so I signed up for this."

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin seriously.

Zhu Lin had that familiar feeling again. She felt that Li Changhe was talking nonsense in a serious manner, but she also felt that what he said was quite right and there was nothing wrong with it.

But he was right about one thing: for people majoring in Chinese, the best way to demonstrate their talent is to write articles and publish books.

And Li Changhe has indeed done all of these.

From this point of view, there is really nothing wrong with Li Changhe not choosing the Chinese Department.

Li Changhe’s starting point is already the end point for many Chinese majors.

At this time, Li Changhe naturally had no way of telling Zhu Lin the reason behind his choice.

In fact, the reason why Li Changhe chose the Economics Department of Peking University was purely to match the knowledge memory in his mind.

Although China began reform and opening up in 1978, the focus in the first ten years of reform and opening up has been on changes in upper-level state-owned enterprises and the direction of the country.

For example, price control, material opening up, dual-track pricing system, etc.

For ordinary people, there is not much difference between life in the 1970s and life in the 1990s, except that there are more daily necessities and money is not so tight.

In such a great change, the power of an individual is very small. Even though 1984 was known as the first year of the domestic corporate era, it was not possible for an individual to set up a company in 1984.

At that time, companies had to be state-owned and had to be affiliated with state-owned enterprises and state institutions. Private companies were not allowed to exist.

For Li Changhe, if he had established himself in China in the 1980s, he would most likely have had to go with the flow and either join a state-owned enterprise or the government.

But Li Changhe happened to have another piece of information in his mind, which was the information he had accumulated from writing chronological articles in his previous life.

It is a document based in Hong Kong Island since the late 1970s.

Therefore, for Li Changhe, he actually has two choices next. One is to follow the domestic reform route of the 1980s step by step, and then take off in the Bolang era of the 1990s.

Another option is to find a way to monetize the information about Hong Kong Island in your mind and earn your first pot of gold in the 1980s.

The former can be developed step by step according to the current life, but the latter is more difficult.

These days, apart from sneaking across the border, it is difficult to go to Hong Kong Island openly. And even if he went there in person, Li Changhe didn't think he could succeed.

Hong Kong Island in the late 1970s and early 1980s was not as beautiful as it is in the movies. It was a more chaotic place than the mainland.

Above them are the British colonists, who are high and mighty, controlling all the high-quality assets in Hong Kong Island and enslaving the entire population of Hong Kong Island like slave owners.

Below them are various wealthy Chinese businessmen, and below them are various community organizations.

Li Changhe is a foreigner from the mainland. Even if he really sneaked in, I'm afraid no social organization would accept him!

It can't be like what is written in many novels, where one fights up from the bottom with a pair of fists, first becoming a red stick and then a leader?

It’s not like he’s been practicing boxing since he was a child, so what’s the matter?
Besides, he wasn't thinking about sneaking across the border now. How could a Beijing native sneak across the border to Hong Kong Island?

Loss of face!

What Li Changhe needs to do is to find a development route in the country that can connect with his memories of his past life.

Hard work pays off, and it really made him think of it.

The Economics Department of Peking University is the starting point of this serial line.

Of course, I can’t tell Zhu Lin these because this route is full of too many uncertainties.

Li Changhe’s current mentality is that this route can be tried, and if it succeeds it’s fine, but if it fails it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, Peking University has a strong reputation in China. Even if it had continued on its usual path through the 1980s, it would not have fared badly. It would just have needed to lie dormant for a while.

In comparison, simply writing novels and the entertainment industry in later generations are too small for him.
