Vol 6 Chapter 277: 2 person academic exchange meeting

The meeting place with Lazier, Chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, happened to be in an Italian restaurant in Georgetown, and Feng Yiping arrived on his legs again.

The restaurant is near the river, not far away is a riverside plaza. In the center of the plaza is a huge oval pool with a great view.

Of course, despite the great view, sitting at the outdoor table in the middle of the Potomac River and the pool on such a day would not be too comfortable.

But there are still many people who choose to sit outdoors and look like they are enjoying themselves. From time to time, they gesture with scissors to the camera of the opposite partner.

Feng Yiping was feeling that he was not only about wearing clothes but only about demeanor, but not about temperature. It was also the same when eating. A person stood at the table and greeted him, "Mr. Feng, hello!"

Feng Yiping looked up, smiled and stood up, "Hello, Professor Lazier, please sit down,"

This is a person who should be less than 60 years old, but can tell at a glance that he is an old man.

It looks a bit like an older version of Professor X. The bald-headed Feng Yiping is really worried about the tops of American men. Paulson talked all morning. He didn’t have much hair. Stephen who had lunch together. He didn’t have much hair. The one who met at night. , His hair, just like the sense of those on Wall Street, does not exist at all.

But as far as Feng Yiping knows, the old man is still less than 60 years old this year.

This is a professor who truly deserves the title of a book. He has written many books and hundreds of theses. His most famous book is also his masterpiece, "Economics of Personnel Management."

He also became the founder of the theory of personnel economics.

He is very famous in the field of international labor economics. He has won many awards, including the Adam Smith Award, and he is the Adam Smith who wrote The Wealth of Nations.

Former Fed Chairman Greenspan also won this award.

He was elected as a fellow of the Econometric Society in 1988 and as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2000.

He has served as a professor at Stanford University and the University of Chicago, and he is also an advisor to many national government agencies.

In 2005, he was appointed as a member of Bush’s tax reform advisory body. There, his extensive knowledge and profound insights into economic affairs impressed his superiors. Therefore, at the end of January 2006, President Bush nominated him as a member. Chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, replacing Bernanke, who had left to replace Greenspan at the Federal Reserve.

Someone has already compared the governing performance of the two Presidents Bush, the young and old. The conclusion is that the dad has scores in diplomacy and lost economic points; the son has not only run into difficulties in diplomacy, but has also been repeatedly questioned as incompetent. But the domestic economy has performed well.

People attribute a large part of his economic achievements to this Edward Lazier.

In short, this is a well-known economist with real talents.

Lazier is also watching this young man who is far more famous internationally than himself.

Slim-fit blue suit and tie with white dots on blue background in the same color, young and elegant.

And it's not as dull as myself.

He has seen Feng Yiping's blue ocean strategy, but what he values ​​more is Feng Yiping's own practice of the blue ocean strategy.

This is the rare case in academia that can perfectly practice one's own theory and achieve amazing achievements.

As a result, some people’s doubts have been effectively dispelled. Whether Feng Yiping is the true author of the Blue Ocean Strategy and the unrealistic doubts about the Blue Ocean Strategy, they are convinced by Feng Yiping’s achievements. Mouth.

As far as he is concerned, he is also convinced that Feng Yiping, who has achieved such high academic and commercial achievements during his university years, is undoubtedly a genius.

And he is a genius without a single chance.

Although he is regarded as the founder of the theory of personnel economics, it is already his work after a few years as a professor, and from the current point of view, the scope of application of his theory is indeed not as good as Feng Yiping’s blue ocean strategy should be. wide range.

His theory is generally more suitable for application in enterprises. As a blue ocean strategy, there have been a large number of successful applications in organizations outside the enterprise.

"Please call me Edward," Lazier said.

"Just call me Feng," Feng Yiping also said, "Professor, I have repeatedly studied your personnel management economics, and tried to do something as it should be. The effect is extraordinary. I really hope that there will be opportunities in the future. Please teach us this knowledge for our staff,"

"That's my honor," Lazier said. "I have also read your blue ocean strategy repeatedly. I have to say that in terms of related fun, you surpass many of us by a lot."

"In this respect, even Bernanke can't match you. He can only convert complex economic terms into plain language, but you can convert those terms into more interesting and popular terms. Easy-to-understand language,"

"Thank you, but Professor, the opportunity is rare, can we just skip these..." Feng Yiping gestured between them.

They actually don't need them now, and they also waste time.

"Haha, you are right," Lazier said with a smile.

"So I am very curious, why are you so sure that this crisis has not passed and will end before the end of 2009?" he asked.

"Because..." Feng Yiping repeated the words he had just said with Paulson in the morning, "...So I think that at least the United States can get rid of the subprime mortgage crisis by the end of 2009 at the latest. The data will be restored, or close to the level of the end of last year or the beginning of this year."

Lazier thought for a while, "Do you mean that the United States got rid of the influence of subprime mortgages in 2009, but it does not include other countries?" Lazier noticed the subject in Feng Yiping's words.

"I think so, because we all know that not all countries are as powerful as the United States, and more importantly, not all countries’ currencies can have the strong position of the US dollar."

"From a macro level, the subprime mortgage crisis is just an introduction, an introduction that can trigger deep-seated economic contradictions in various countries, so the results will naturally be different,"

Lazier nodded, "I see."

He looked at Feng Yiping's eyes, somewhat admired.

Because he knew that behind Feng Yiping's words, it meant that he or his team had done an in-depth analysis of the economic conditions of many countries in the world.

"I hope to see your paper on analysis of this situation soon," Lazier said.

"We may publish part of it in cutting-edge magazines, or may not publish it, but only as our internal learning and research materials~www.wuxiaspot.com~Feng Yiping said.

"Yes," Lazier nodded, "I forgot, you are not like us, you don't care about this,"

"The main reason is that I am not rigorous enough, and I worry that some of my views will be biased, and may be laughable and generous," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

In fact, Lazier was right, he didn't care about it long ago.

He has gained enough academic reputation.

Moreover, these views of oneself must not be wrong, why should we benefit everyone?

Well, at this moment, he suddenly had an idea.

But he quickly put that idea aside, "Professor, we are now encountering such a problem, especially some of our company's senior management personnel, and then they will not be able to get promoted within the company, and their salary level is sufficient. Gao, then, how do you think we should motivate them?"

"At this point, I think, deferred payment can still be used as an incentive, you see, it is like this..."

There is a specialization in the field of surgery. For such a problem, Lazier came to his fingertips and answered several related questions from Feng Yiping one after another.

Then, Lazier was asking Feng Yiping a few questions about blue ocean strategy and big data. Just like that, you come and go, which makes this meeting of the two of them feel like an academic exchange meeting.

In this way, at least a group of people have been changed at the table next to them, and their main dishes have not been finished yet.

Lazier finally asked Feng Yiping a question, "Since the last century, the political and academic circles of the United States and China have been very different on China's exchange rate issue. How do you personally view this issue?"

This is a big problem.

A crucial question that determines Lazier's attitude towards him.

It is a difficult question to answer. (Rebirth 92: Business Tycoon Mobile Reading)
