The waiter led the two into a private room, which was made of smokeless candles and a wide floor-to-ceiling window. However, in order to block the sun, the curtains had been pulled up. Several waiters were busy setting up all kinds of utensils, and then quietly retreated.

The girl was very rude and ordered expensive food. Although the quantity was not large, it was much more expensive than eating lobsters. The two waiters who recorded the menu doubted whether the two young people had so much money to pay the bill.

However, after Zhang Zhenyu took out the platinum credit card from China Merchants Bank and asked the hotel whether it could swipe the card to spend, they had no doubts.

After a while, the food was delivered and a bottle of Bordeaux Latu wine was opened, but it was not the most expensive Latu Castle, but it also cost several hundred.

Zhang Zhenyu poured the wine into the goblet, shook it and smelled it, and then said to the girl: "I don't know if it's the real one."

"Sir, our hotel has a good reputation and will not be used as inferior or fake or fake. The wine you drink is airlifted directly from France by our supplier." The waiter was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhenyu's words and explained in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, even if you are really good." Zhang Zhenyu replied indifferently.

The girl was already starting to eat, and she still had very elegant movements. Zhang Zhenyu noticed that she was very skillful in her technique. She obviously often ate Western food and had systematic training. Each movement was so right and accurate.

Compared with her, Fang Xuelin was much worse in this regard, let alone Zhang Zhenyu, who was like a local bun. His movements were so rough. He just knocked and beat them casually, using a metal knife and fork to make the plate jingle, making it look a bit inconsistent.

But it’s normal to think about it. He and Fang Xuelin are both small places in the mainland, but this person grew up in an international metropolis like the Magic City, and his family is in a very good condition.

"The price of the meal is much more expensive than six months ago." The girl suddenly said to Zhang Zhenyu.

"Inflation, CPI is high, it's natural." Zhang Zhenyu replied.

In Zhang Zhenyu's memory, 2007 and the upcoming 2008 were the two most intense inflation after the new century? Even the official cpi was as high as 5% or even 6%. As for the real cpi value, it is difficult to explain clearly? But Zhang Zhenyu feels that it is definitely more than just 5% and 6%.

"Inflation? Prices rise? Why?" the girl asked.

Zhang Zhenyu nodded? said: "It can also be said that inflation is not a simple rise in prices. It is a continuous, widespread and irreversible rise in the country's main domestic commodities that can cause a country's currency to depreciate. The direct cause of inflation is that the amount of currency circulating in a country is greater than the total effective economy of its country. For example, inflation this year? I think there are two reasons? In fact, one reason is that foreign trade develops too fast and has too much dependence on foreign countries."

"Will foreign trade develop too fast still cause inflation?" The girl obviously doesn't understand this very much.

Zhang Zhenyu explained: "Foreign trade is developed, and my country is a financially controlled country. There is a foreign exchange settlement system? The US dollar generated by the surplus is sold to the country. What should the state exchange it for? It is RMB. After the enterprise exchanges the US dollar for the RMB, it will invest these RMB into the domestic market, which will increase the amount of currency in the domestic circulation, and the amount of currency in circulation will be too large? It will cause inflation. Therefore, the surplus is equivalent to the amount of RMB invested by our government in the market at one time. In this way, the annual surplus brings a RMB investment. How come the currency is not over-issued?"

"At the same time, these over-issued wealth are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, which cannot form a boost to domestic demand? This money has been invested in the housing market in order to maintain value. The stock market has brought about a great increase in our housing prices. High housing prices in turn act as other circulating commodities? Due to the high housing prices, the production cost of all commodities has increased? The price has soared and inflation has occurred."

"Of course, there is also the increase in housing prices, so the demand for houses has been increasing. Due to the needs of land finance and GDP, the government has also contributed to the construction of real estate and infrastructure, bringing a particularly strong demand for building materials and steel. The rise in the prices of these means of production will be transmitted to general commodities and cause comprehensive inflation."

"In general, foreign trade is an imported inflation, and housing prices are also a reason, but housing prices are transmitted due to foreign trade. All the reasons for inflation are entirely due to foreign demand and the sluggish domestic demand are the reasons for this year's inflation."

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhenyu didn't say anything else. On the one hand, the girl may not understand it. On the other hand, it was because these were not achieved in one go. Since we joined the WTO, economic development has shown its negative effects in 2007. So later, didn't the media always mention structural inflation? This is the structural problem of our economy.

Let’s look at the upcoming financial crisis next year, and the reasons are easy to understand.

A serious financial crisis broke out abroad, so foreign demand would be unreliable. It would be impossible to rely solely on external demand to drive GDP, and domestic demand would be needed.

But the people have no money to consume (wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of vested interests). What should we do? Only by investing in the state! Where does the country get the money? Print! 4 trillion yuan of infrastructure investment has brought about the excessive issuance of currency, and brought about the most serious inflation after entering the new century in 2007 and 2008.

Internationally, the essence of the US financial crisis is liquidity shortage, which is completely opposite to us. It requires money, and as long as you have money, it can solve its problems. So the US has not made many deficit plans, but the government has acquired many investment banks.

That's a takeover and a protective market. Where does the US government's money come from? It's also a printing! So the United States has implemented a quantitative easing policy. If it prints too much, the US dollar will depreciate significantly.

The US dollar is the world currency. The depreciation of the US dollar has brought about a rise in commodity prices, which has spread to the domestic market. On the one hand, the currency is over-issued, and on the other hand, commodities are rising. How can our prices not rise?

Inflation is triggered!

Although Zhang Zhenyu didn't say the latter, the previous paragraph made the girl a little dumbfounded. Although she didn't understand, she felt very profound and powerful.

The girl looked at Zhang Zhenyu blankly and asked for a while: "Senior Brother, are you really studying mechanics, not like finance?"

Zhang Zhenyu rolled his eyes and asked angrily: "Does the University of Science and Technology have a major like finance?"

"It seems that there is no..." the girl said uncertainly.

……………………

Zhang Zhenyu unknowingly talked to the girl about a lot of topics. The girl talked without missing a word and didn't tell Zhang Zhenyu at all.

The girl went out and said she was going to the bathroom. However, when the two of them finished their meal and Zhang Zhenyu called the waiter to check the bill, she realized that it was not that easy for the girl to go out just now, and she had already settled the account first.

Zhang Zhenyu smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that I would have had a meal with you with my junior. Didn't you agree to have a meal with me?"

The girl said with a smile: "On the first day I came to school, I asked my senior brother to take me around. Why do you have the nerve to let my senior brother spend money again?"

Zhang Zhenyu shook his head and said helplessly: "It's really a waste. I feel a little painful when you order such expensive dishes."

Zhang Zhenyu was really a little bit painful. Although he didn't see the final bill, it probably wouldn't be less than 3,000 yuan. Fortunately, he also knew that with the conditions of the girl's family, he didn't care too much about these thousands of yuan, but he still thought there was no need to spend money like this.

"Senior brother, you don't have to worry about it like this. In my opinion, the senior brother is not a petty person. Just consider it to be a celebration for our acquaintance. Does the senior brother think that I know you, a knowledgeable and talented senior brother, and is not worth celebrating it?" the girl said confidently.

"Forget it, I can't tell you. Anyway, I'm not spending my money. Why do I worry so much?" Zhang Zhenyu smiled bitterly, and then greeted, "Let's go back to school, I'll take you to your dormitory."

……………………

Zhang Zhenyu quickly drove back to school, and Zhang Zhenyu didn't know about the girl's dormitory. Anyway, the undergraduates in the West Campus have only two buildings next to each other.

When the two returned to school, it was exactly eight o'clock in the evening. The students were either in class or in the study room for evening self-study, and the campus was quieter.

Zhang Zhenyu first drove the girl to the logistics department to collect the four-piece bed set, and then drove to the girls' dormitory building.

Downstairs, Zhang Zhenyu parked the car and helped the girl carry the things outside her dormitory.

The girl pushed the door open and blocked Zhang Zhenyu at the door, looking at Zhang Zhenyu with a strange look and said, "Well... Senior brother, you are so good, but if you want to be a boyfriend, I won't choose you, because you will easily be tempted by beautiful girls and feel too insecure, so I won't invite you in."

Zhang Zhenyu was helpless, but unexpectedly he was sent a good person card.

He held the door frame, looked at the girl carefully, and then sighed: "You are very confident and sunny, but this confidence will not seem offensive. This sunny makes people willing to give you unconditionally. Oh, it's really unreasonable. Okay, I won't bother you, just be busy yourself, it seems that you have to be busy for a while. If you need to buy something, there are two supermarkets not far from downstairs, which can basically meet the basic needs. If you really can't buy it, you can find me to be a coachman for you. I'll go to evening self-study, goodbye."

"Thank you, senior brother, be careful to drive." The girl smiled brilliantly and closed the door.
