Chapter 210 Primitive Finance Shocks Professor
The professors gathered together in front of the holographic projection.

Behind them came the Emperor's mournful wail.

"My imported red carpet from Earth!"

He knelt on the carpet, stroking the red flakes that had appeared from the tearing, like the downy fur of some kind of creature.

Three eyeballs were pressed tightly against the tear marks, and the catfish-shaped mouth was slightly open because of its distress.

"Shouldn't you be more concerned about the office door?"

Professor Qi pointed to the hole in the silver mechanical door and said.

The hole was shaped like a muscular dog-headed man with limbs spread out like a swastika.

His Majesty raised an eyeball and glared at Professor Qi: "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't suggested that D break down the door, my carpet wouldn't have been scratched by claws when he landed."

Professor D did a backflip to ease the awkwardness: "It was an accident."

Biyangde lay on the dragon throne, his green legs bouncing on the railing: "If you hadn't laid the carpet all the way to the door, blocking the gap and causing the mechanical door to malfunction, we wouldn't have had to break it down."

His Majesty the Emperor stroked his carpet tenderly: "Couldn't we have let Professor Wilde slip in through the crack in the door to open it?"

"I'd like to too, but your rug is blocking the door so tightly I can't squeeze in. Don't waste your time coming here. If you want another rug, just ask the students to bring you one. Hurry up and check the security footage; the interview should be over soon."

The holographic projection displayed the questions for this round of leaderless group interviews.

[If you were to make contact with extraterrestrials, what actions would you, as a company manager, take?]

Professor Qi frowned: "This is a very pointed question. As far as I know, the aliens that Earthlings imagine are completely different from us. If these three were to apply their own real-life experiences to their thinking, it would be difficult for them to be on the same wavelength as Earthlings."

Professor Biyangde, reclining on the dragon throne, nodded repeatedly, his drooping lips swaying with his head: "That's right, that's right. Earthlings actually think we'd rape them? Who would rape such ugly creatures? Yue~"

Professor Qi glared at him.

Biyangde quickly climbed down from the dragon throne and explained, "I was talking about Earthlings of ordinary age. We all want to rape such attractive creatures as Earth old ladies."

Professor Qi stared at him without saying a word.

Biyangde continued to explain, "That's not what I meant. I meant I wanted to rape you."

"No, that's not right either. What I mean is, you're so beautiful that everyone wants to rape you."

Professor D shouted, "I didn't!"

Denials were heard one after another.

"I do not want."

"I do not have either."

"Don't count me in."

My rug!

"I'd better keep quiet."

Professor Piyande tied his lips into a bow.

As everyone continued watching the surveillance footage, they soon witnessed Li Ji proposing ideas about alien virtual currency and alien concept stocks.

Professor Wilde, hands on his hips, smiled with satisfaction: "Li Ji seems to be doing well. Everyone else is listening to him very attentively. Look at that Earth woman with glasses, she keeps nodding."

"The bald middle-aged Earth man next to me must be the examiner; he's been standing and listening the whole time."

Professor Qi turned to His Majesty the Emperor, who was kneeling on the ground stroking the carpet, and said, "I have two questions."

"I don't understand economics. Earth economics is a subfield of Earth sociology. I'd like to ask you a question." "My first question is, can cryptocurrencies be used for speculation? Aren't there relevant financial regulations to control the velocity of money? How can something with such unstable value be guaranteed to serve as a measure of value?"

His Majesty the Emperor adjusted the thorny flower crown on his head: "Ah, well, emmm, I think, emmm, why don't you, Your Highness, say something?"

"Good professor."

His Highness the Crown Prince nodded and said, "The Interstellar Alliance has long since abolished physical currencies and adopted virtual currencies instead. The power to issue virtual currencies is in the hands of the Alliance government, which can control the amount of currency in the market and thus maintain currency stability."

“The Earth’s digital currency relies on blockchain technology, has a fixed quantity, no issuing party, and its circulation depends entirely on the free market, which leads to the loss of control over the velocity and volume of currency circulation.”

"Although the information we have shows that virtual currencies on Earth are only just emerging, after decades of development, we can predict their development trend based on economic principles."

"Because the issuance of currency cannot be controlled, financial capital can manipulate the circulation of virtual currencies, thereby controlling their value and achieving the purpose of accumulating wealth."

"This is a primitive form of financial behavior. It completely fails to fulfill the function of finance as a means of capital regulation. Finance should guide capital to where it is needed, rather than allowing it to accumulate unchecked."

"Similar phenomena were common when the financial industry was just emerging in primitive civilizations."

“They are not using financial means to direct capital to where it is needed and generate more value.”

"Instead, they use financial means to amass wealth, resulting in the accumulation of capital, but the efficiency remains low."

Professor Qi nodded: "I see. Then it seems the second question has also been answered. My second question is, what are concept stocks? Shouldn't stocks be guided by actual value? How can they be speculated on based on concepts?"

His Highness the Crown Prince explained, "This is included in my textbook."

"This is also a behavior of early primitive civilizations."

"In the Interstellar Alliance, stock investment is value-oriented, and funds will flow to places that can produce long-term value."

"But in primitive civilizations like Earth, people would invest in places where they could most increase their wealth in order to accumulate it."

"Many people have found that it's better to invest in projects that can slowly appreciate in value than to invest in projects that can achieve similar returns."

"Why not make a quick buck? That's how concept stocks came about. They have absolutely nothing to do with the actual industry behind the stock; investing in them is just about finding something that can make money pile up."

“Financial institutions drive up stock prices, then individual investors flock in, causing stock prices to rise further. Then, the financial institutions sell their shares, taking the money from individual investors.”

“Li Ji really did study hard; he knows all of this.”

Professor Wilde added, "He not only knows about the concept stocks in textbooks, but he also knows about cryptocurrencies that aren't in textbooks. It seems he's even leading interview discussions for Earthlings."

Everyone began a lively discussion around the direction proposed by Li Ji.

At this moment, Dailulu seemed like an outsider.

She watched the commotion quietly, unable to join in the conversation.

"They seem to be talking about something that has nothing to do with aliens, meow?"

"Is this some kind of spy testing me, meow?"

"Why aren't you testing me anymore, meow?"

"I don't think I belong here, meow."

Dailulu's phone made a "ding" sound.

She checked her phone and found it was an email.

Congratulations on passing our resume screening! We kindly request that you attend an in-person interview tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM.
