Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Meng Chuan's rise to power shocked many people.

Because no one would have guessed that today's speaker would be a freshman who has just entered university.

Even more unexpectedly, it was the same top scorer in the college entrance examination who once again made history.

It wasn't until Meng Chuan spoke that everyone seemed to wake up from their daze.

Meng Chuan appeared calm and spoke clearly.

He then began explaining his thesis, "The Root of National Rise and Fall Lies in the System."

He articulated his theoretical viewpoints in a clear and logical manner.

It begins with the rise and fall of different countries throughout history.

The key role of the analysis system in this process.

Combining detailed data and case studies, it presents complex theories to the public in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

The economists in the audience listened intently, and became increasingly astonished as the story progressed.

Some professors and scholars even wrote furiously.

The viewpoints Meng Chuan initially presented, the data he mentioned, and the conclusions he had drawn were all recorded in detail.

For a moment, only Meng Chuan's voice could be heard speaking fluently throughout the entire venue.

All that's left is the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper as it writes at lightning speed.

It looked just like a teacher giving a lecture, with students listening intently and taking notes like crazy.

The difference is that the "teacher" giving the lecture had a full head of black hair.

The "students" who were taking notes were mostly bald or had gray hair.

For two whole hours, Meng Chuan spoke eloquently and tirelessly.

Many experts, scholars, and leaders present showed expressions ranging from initial shock and doubt to thoughtful reflection, and eventually, sudden realization.

No one could help but be amazed by Meng Chuan's novel and profound theories.

An economic problem that had puzzled them for so many years.

After Meng Chuan's speech, many people suddenly understood.

"That concludes my presentation. If you have any questions or anything you would like to add, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer them."

Meng Chuan delivered his final remarks with humility.

He then stepped out from the chairman's seat and bowed deeply to everyone.

The next moment, thunderous applause erupted in the hall.

There were more than two thousand people present, including experts, scholars, and ordinary students.

Everyone stood up and applauded wildly for Meng Chuan.

Let's applaud this historic moment.

Because a young man made history today and was directly deified.

"This is amazing! It's a beacon of academic excellence!"

"His theories are universally applicable; he has discovered the secret to the rise and fall of nations!"

"Have you noticed? For the past two hours, he has been speaking entirely without a script."

"Holy crap, it really is! I didn't even notice until you told me."

"Have any speakers at the annual meeting ever spoken without notes?"

"I don't think so! As far as I can remember, there shouldn't be any."

"How did he manage to speak so naturally and comprehensively without a script?"

"Holy crap, I really don't understand the world of geniuses! All I can say is: Awesome!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

At this moment, a young host stepped forward.

To Meng Chuan's surprise, it was Jin Ping'er.

She is the host of "Douyin Assistant" on Douyin's official account.

She conducted the Douyin interview with Meng Chuan, who scored a perfect score on the college entrance examination.

Thanks to Meng Chuan, Jin Ping'er quickly became the most popular official host on Douyin.

"Thank you, Mr. Meng Chuan, for your excellent presentation. Judging from everyone's expressions and applause, you can tell that Mr. Meng Chuan delivered a truly outstanding speech. Now, we will have a Q&A session. Leaders, experts, scholars, and students are all welcome to ask questions."

As Jin Ping'er spoke, she gestured to the staff to provide a microphone.

Soon, people who wanted to ask questions raised their hands.

However, to Meng Chuan's utter surprise,

Most of the questions were asked by students.

Moreover, the questions asked were almost entirely unrelated to the main content of the speech.

"Meng Xue Shen, you should only be a freshman now, why are you in such a hurry to do scientific research?"

"Meng Xue Shen, at your age, which is more important to you: scientific research or love?"

"Some people say that you must have a relationship during your four years of college. What does Meng Xueshen think of this statement?"

One of the girls, who wore glasses and had a very refined demeanor, was even more stunning.

Holding the microphone, she asked timidly:

"Hello, Professor Meng, I'm a PhD in Economics from Peking University. After listening to your lecture today, I realize I still have so much to learn. Do you have a girlfriend?"

The question took such a sudden turn that it almost strained Meng Chuan's back.

"Don't you have a single question about the content of my speech?"

Meng Chuan asked back, both amused and exasperated.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man with white hair stood up.

As he stood up, the room immediately fell silent.

Because this is Yuan Tingshan, the dean of the School of Economics at Peking University.

In the field of economics, his status is in no way inferior to that of Dean Zuo Silan.

There is even a saying: "In the north there is Yuan Tingshan, and in the south there is Zuo Silan."

"Meng Chuan's speech was so comprehensive that it's already a definitive conclusion, and I'm sure everyone is out of questions. So, let this old man ask a question!"

When Yuan Tingshan spoke, everyone looked solemn.

We also look forward to hearing some valuable questions from Yuan Tingshan.

Ultimately, whether Meng Chuan's paper is correct still needs to be approved by Yuan Tingshan.

Yuan Tingshan coughed lightly and said:

"I wonder if Meng Chuan has any intention of pursuing a direct PhD through the recommendation system? Our School of Economics at Beijing University can admit you without being a student and promises that you will stay on as a faculty member after graduation and be directly awarded the title of associate professor."

Everyone was stunned when Yuan Tingshan said this.

Shouldn't we be evaluating or asking questions about Meng Chuan's paper?

What... they're poaching people directly?

"Yuan Tingshan".

However, just as everyone was stunned.

Zuo Silan rushed onto the stage.

She snatched the microphone from Jin Ping'er and glared angrily at Yuan Tingshan:

"Have you no shame? Poaching my students right in front of me? What Beijing University can offer, Shanghai University can't?"

The audience erupted in laughter.

In fact, many people present already knew this.

Yuan Tingshan and Zuo Silan are both leading figures in the field of economics.

But at the same time, the two are a pair of bickering lovers.

They love to bicker as soon as they meet.

However, Yuan Tingshan did look somewhat embarrassed in front of Dean Zuo Silan.

But he still shamelessly said:

"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on! Meng Chuan, I'd like to hear your thoughts."

What a wonderful student!

Yuan Tingshan was truly envious.

It wasn't just Yuan Tingshan; many of the university deans and professors present were envious.

"I'm sorry, Dean Zuo Silan has been very kind to me, and my thesis also benefited from Dean Zuo Silan's help and guidance."

Meng Chuan bowed slightly and spoke rather tactfully.

But the regret in Yuan Tingshan's eyes was obvious.

The intellectual host, Jin Ping'er, took another microphone from a staff member and smiled as she smoothed things over, saying:

"It seems our Meng Chuan is quite popular! However, due to time constraints, our Q&A session will have to end here."

Jin Ping'er didn't understand economics.

But she knew that the name Meng Chuan was likely to cause another huge uproar online.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Meng Chuan.

However, just when everyone was marveling at Meng Chuan's talent and achievements...

A discordant voice rang out.

"Wait a minute! I have doubts about the research findings of this student, Meng Chuan."
