Society owes me a brother

Chapter 123

After the one-hour public class ended, Lu Chi was immediately surrounded by students.Everyone is very curious about how long Lu Chi has studied and how many fields he has involved in order to calculate the price of a stock in a certain period of time so easily and accurately.Of course, there are also some students who are very pragmatic. They only care about how to study themselves so that they can meet Lu Chi’s requirements before graduating from senior year—and among these people, there are also some who failed to apply for this course, or even the audit qualification. Sophomores and juniors who didn't make an appointment and could only stand in the corridor outside the classroom and listen to the class.

"Excuse me, Assistant Professor Lu, does this course require students to have a strong talent in mathematics? We just noticed that when you calculated the stock price, in addition to the corresponding mathematical formulas and financial principles, you also collected a lot. The official news information is used as a reference. Does this mean that even if our calculation ability is a little weak, as long as we have super logical thinking and analysis ability, we can predict the price of a stock in a certain period of time Ups and downs?"

Obviously, students who ask such questions must be not very confident in the field of mathematics, but they really want to master this skill.So I had to find a new way to try to get more recognition and support from Lu Chi.In view of the fact that the calculation ability of most people in M ​​country is almost as bad as the joker level, there are actually quite a few students who have this kind of thinking—most of them are not majoring in related sciences such as mathematics and physics, but they really want to study after graduation. , other students from other departments who have made a splash on Wall Street.

Lu Chi understands these people's thoughts very well, but he has to say clearly: "The foundation of the course "Finance and Mathematical Theory" is advanced mathematics. I can understand your thoughts, but I have to tell you with regret, If your math scores are really bad, then the biggest possibility is that you won’t be able to make it to the end of the semester.” Because there is no way to understand the content of the class.

Lu Chi's words completely shattered the luck of some students.But there are still people who don't give up and ask: "Then can we learn a few more times?"

A boy with red hair, freckles, and a bit of baby fat raised his hand and asked, "I'm an economics major, and I'm a sophomore this year. If I keep taking this course from this semester, and keep learning, Until my senior year. Can I learn it?"

Lu Chi thought for a while and said seriously: "You can try it."

Although the subject of mathematics is basically talent at the advanced stage.However, China also has an old saying that practice makes perfect.These students want to borrow mathematical formulas to analyze financial behavior, but they don't really want to be mathematicians.Besides, there is nothing wrong with people who want to work in the financial industry knowing a little more about mathematics.

When it comes to learning, Lu Chi has always held a practical attitude of learning more and seeing more, which may be useful someday.

"Then can you teach us the mathematical formula?" Another person raised his hand and said, "I just heard you explain the mathematical formula while calculating the stock price, and it seems easier to understand than the professor in our department. "

This is not surprising, because Lu Chi, who is engaged in the trader industry, is committed to letting all customers understand his investment philosophy, instead of using some jerky professional vocabulary and cloudy derivative contracts to deceive customers' thinking.

The professor of the Stanford Department of Mathematics stood in the audience with black lines on his face. He didn't expect that he could be shot while lying down - he was still disgusted by his students.

Lu Chi shook his head very frankly: "I'm very sorry." Being a teaching assistant for the course "Finance and Mathematical Theory" is already Lu Chi's limit.He does not have extra time and energy to explain "basic mathematics" to everyone.

Many people also feel very sorry.Just after listening to an open class, these students were fascinated by Lu Chi's profound knowledge and amazing talent.How much they hope that Lu Chi is a professor at Stanford, so that they can take a few more classes, and even apply to become Lu Chi's students.

Lu Chi also felt a little regretful.Whether it is in the financial market or in academic research, Lu Chi is not a person who is used to cherishing himself with his broom.He is willing to share, although he has not reached the level of being a good teacher, but if he can help everyone, he will definitely not be stingy.

So after getting a preliminary understanding of the learning acceptance of some students, Lu Chi took the initiative to make a list for everyone-recommended several lecturers and courses for them, and attached a dozen tome professional books for reading.And according to each professor's lecture habits and emphasis on the research field, a detailed analysis of what kind of students are suitable for which professor's course.

Although most of these materials are based on the news information provided by Stanford officials, Lu Chi's knowledge of the professional fields of the professors in the mathematics and physics departments of the school still surprised everyone-to some extent, it is better than hiring a private detective. The 24-hour all-round tracking must be comprehensive and in-depth, and its accuracy is simply outrageous.

The professor of the Department of Mathematics, who was stabbed by his student before, was surprised and explained: "Lu has listened to all of our courses. But I never thought that he would know us so well."

After all, most of the time, Lu Chi listened to the lectures in silence and left silently, and rarely asked questions or exchanged topics with the professors.In addition, at a young age, Lu Chi has already made a great reputation in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, so that when Lu Chi showed his admiration and mastery of the knowledge that professors are good at in the professional field in front of the students, everyone seemed a little bit nervous. surprise.But in addition to being surprised, a trace of flattered pride rose in his heart.

This is a very complicated and unpredictable psychological activity, and the final result is that most of the professors have a good impression of Lu Chi without exception-it is not the teacher's favor for the students, but the friendship between scholars .

Stanford's professors and school leaders stood outside the circle, smiling and watching Lu Chi surrounded by students, feeling very relieved.

"I have a hunch that from this semester onwards, the Department of Mathematics and Department of Physics will definitely become the elective courses for most students!"

"I just don't know how long these students can last."

"In any case, from the current point of view, everyone is very interested in this course." Professor Volker folded his arms and suggested in a very good mood: "I have an idea, maybe we can put the "Finance and Mathematics" "Theory" has developed into a must-have course for the finance department."

"Are you referring to this kind of teaching assistant class?" A professor pointed at Lu Chi's direction with his chin: "It looks good, but this kind of course requires a lot of talent from the students. I bet, don't look at the fact that there are so many People surround the little guy, and as the course gets deeper and deeper, the number of people who can finally meet the little guy's requirements is absolutely no more than two hands."

"There's no question about that outcome—genius can never be mass-produced. Even at Stanford."

"You haven't mentioned the most important question - that is the requirements of this course for the lecturer." Mr. Principal looked at Lu Chi who was surrounded by students and patiently answered students' questions, and said meaningfully: "After all, it is not who They can do such a miracle." The price of a stock was accurately calculated within half an hour, and it was accurate to two decimal places.

Mr. Principal said, and then glanced at the Wall Street bigwigs who were eager to try their hands in the classroom: "These people came here because of their reputation, and they have seen Lu's ability with their own eyes. They will not let Lu waste too much time on campus to go to school. Teaching students. I’m sure there must be more than one cash check lying in the pockets of these people’s suits.” Not to mention the amount of money on it.

All the professors were silent.It is a universal truth that knowledge creates wealth.But those who can achieve Lu Chi's level are very few.

"What about an extended course for the Department of Finance?" Professor Volker continued to suggest, "We can ask Lu to help plan a teaching plan." Following the learning style of a genius will not necessarily teach another genius.But if planned properly, more talents and elites can definitely be cultivated.

The principal pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Maybe we can give it a try."

Lu Chi, who was standing on the podium, didn't notice that his performance had already attracted the attention of the school leaders.He didn't stop answering the students' endless questions.From time to time, I looked down at the time, and when I saw that it was almost time, I raised my voice to remind: "Students, the next class is about to start, and we need to get out of the classroom before the bell rings. So, please spread out slowly, follow the Leave the classroom one by one from the back row to the front row... don't be crowded, pay attention to safety."

Then, under the wailing of his classmates, he packed up the lesson plans and other teaching materials, nodded to the school administrator and other professors, and followed the crowd slowly out of the classroom—and was killed in the corridor The former major shareholder of ST Communications stopped him.

"Hello, Mr. Smith." Lu Chi nodded to Mr. Major Shareholder, maintaining social etiquette, and asked politely, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I just want to see what the financial genius who caused ST Communications to file for bankruptcy protection looks like." From the outside, Howard Smith is a standard Wall Streeter.Suit and leather shoes, strong aura, meticulous hairstyle.He has brown hair, brown eyes, hooked nose, and deep nasolabial folds. From his appearance, he is very stubborn and difficult to get along with.

"Wow!" Faced with Howard Smith's unceremonious accusations, Lu Chi just raised his eyebrows calmly, and said in a perfunctory "shock": "It turns out that the reason why ST went bankrupt was because I said a few words in the Securities Regulatory Commission , rather than ST Communications, in order to earn money that does not belong to itself, collaborating with accounting firms to make false accounts, falsely report profits, and defraud shareholders and investors."

"Mr. Smith, thank you very much for your attention." Lu Chi nodded politely: "Because before you said this, even I myself didn't expect that as a student at Stanford and an intern trader of Eric Assets, I A few words have such a big influence."

Howard Smith choked.

Afterwards, the melon-eaters from Wall Street and the reporters from financial magazines exchanged cryptic glances—it seems that the good show is about to start again!

Eric Weiss stood up and took the initiative to defend his employees and partners: "Mr. Smith, please pay attention to your words. Lu did not do anything that violated the Constitution of the country M and the "Securities Law", and there is no way to target ST Communications. In fact, he just did what he was supposed to do."

"Don't be so sensitive, relax a little, don't be so nervous." Howard Smith glanced at Eric Weiss, then at Lu Chi, and said slowly: "Young people haven't experienced too many things, and they always think it's just a little thing. It can make the sky fall. In fact, it’s not that serious. Regarding this point, when you have experienced more things in the future, you will know that my attitude today is actually very friendly.”

Following Howard Smith's words, there were already various sounds of shutters being pressed in the corridor.

As an investment elite of the cutting-edge Wall Street, the 45-year-old Eric Weiss, who started from scratch, is often praised by the media and peers as a "young billionaire".Of course Eric Weiss himself thinks so.

But Howard Smith is clearly not the idea.What he said reveals a condescending sense of superiority between the lines.

This is really annoying.

Eric Weiss complained in his heart, but maintained a fake polite smile on his face: "I very much agree with Mr. Smith's point of view-no matter how 'we' who are already 'old people' lament, this world will eventually It will belong to the young people. They are the future."

In front of the media reporters, Howard Smith didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, maintaining his reserve and demeanor of a veteran financier, and said: "By the way, your class today is very good. The most legendary internship on Wall Street Traders, hopefully your legend is just beginning."

"I'll always be watching you."
