"Host, you think too highly of me. Why do you think I understand economics?"
"Ah... aren't you omnipotent?"
"You think too much. You might as well ask the APP for help instead of asking me for help."
Yao Yi was speechless. He took out his cell phone and started searching for questions about economics on various software programs.
Xiao Hei was chewing on cat food nearby.
It jumped onto the table, chewing cat food while looking at the economics questions on the app with Yao Yi, "This, this, grandpa will definitely ask you this?"
"You mean the hemline effect?"
"Well, the stronger the economy is, the shorter the hemlines of women's skirts are, and the weaker the economy is, the longer the hems of women's skirts are."
"Xiao Hei knows so much?"
"It's not that I understand, it's just my observation. The skirts of the girls on the street are indeed getting longer and longer."
"That's right, after all, the economy is in recession~"
Because Xiao Hei mentioned it, Yao Yi took note of the skirt effect.
I fought in my room for two hours.
Yao Yi finally went to the battlefield.
One million pocket money, here I come!
Hahahahahahahaha.
Must win!
I will win!
Yao Yi kept encouraging herself.
Xiao Hei followed Yao Yi happily with his short legs.
"Are you ready?"
Yao Zhennan was wearing reading glasses and reading the English version of the Wall Street Journal.
He saw Yao Yi running down with great energy and a kind smile on his face.
Yao Yi nodded vigorously: "Grandpa, please start your investigation."
She rubbed her hands expectantly, hoping that she could answer the question correctly.
Yao Zhennan took the book and flipped through it casually.
"Xiaoyi, do you know the Matthew effect?"
Yao Yi closed his eyes and started thinking.
Matthew Matthew Matthew.
She just didn't see this point of knowledge.
But she seemed to have heard of it a long time ago.
Things like the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
She racked her brains to recall.
Xiao Hei beside him stretched out his little feet and stood aside obediently, quietly waiting for Yao Yi to answer.
If the answer is correct, then its future cat strips will be settled.
Although he remained expressionless, he was praying for Yao Yi in his heart.
"Do you know?"
Seeing that she was deep in thought and hadn't spoken for a long time, Yao Zhennan asked as a reminder.
Yao Yi held his right index finger in the air, "I know! Wait a minute, I'll organize my words."
After a few seconds, she replied: "The Matthew effect refers to the phenomenon that the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker."
Yao Zhennan burst into laughter.
"Yes, that's right. But you took a little too long to answer this question."
In order to deepen Yao Yi's impression of the Matthew effect, Yao Zhennan immediately gave many examples.
Yao Yi listened with great interest.
"Okay, now that we have $500,000, do you want to challenge the second question?"
Yao Yi took a deep breath and replied, "Yes! Of course!"
Yao Zhennan nodded in satisfaction: "But, I want to tell you a premise. If you answer the second question correctly, Grandpa will give you 1 million. However, if you answer the second question incorrectly, then the 500,000 you won before will be gone. Are you sure you still want to challenge?"
Yao Yi was dissatisfied: "Grandpa, why did you change the rules at the last minute?"
"There are variables in everything. I added this rule on the spur of the moment. After all, I am the Party A, so I can do whatever I want."
Yao Yi wanted to bang her head against the wall.
"How about we just forget it?"
Xiao Hei persuaded him that after all, he had already got 500,000 yuan, so why take the risk again?
"No, I want to win."
"But your strength doesn't allow it."
“╭(╯^╰)╮What if I got it right?”
"I only care that you got the answer wrong. Do I still have my cat strips?"
"Of course there is none left."
"Then I strongly suggest you not to challenge."
"No, I want to!"
Yao Zhennan heard Xiao Hei meowing non-stop.
The granddaughter was also mumbling something to Xiao Hei.
He cleared his throat and shouted to Yao Yi, who was still discussing countermeasures not far away: "I'll ask you one last time, do you want to challenge me or not?"
Yao Yi immediately ran from the dining room to the living room and sat next to Yao Zhennan: "Yes, yes, yes! Challenge!"
Yao Zhennan was very satisfied with his granddaughter's choice.
Just be brave!
Life is about facing challenges with courage. Otherwise, you will be like a salted fish. What’s the point?
He coughed twice and continued, "Then listen carefully, let's start with the second question."
Yao Yi sat upright: "Okay, okay, I'm ready."
Yao Zhennan asked the question: "Please explain the Engel coefficient."
Because he knew that Yao Yi was recording variety shows every day and had not read the economics works he gave her, he deliberately asked her some common sense questions.
It is equivalent to giving Yao Yi 1 million pocket money for free.
As expected, Yao Yi answered immediately.
"The Engel coefficient is an indicator to measure the wealth of a country or family. It mainly refers to the proportion of food expenditure to personal consumption expenditure..."
After listening to Yao Yi's answer, Yao Zhennan applauded.
He picked up his phone and directly transferred 1 million yuan to Yao Yi's bank card.
Yao Yi looked at the countless zeros on the bank text message and her eyes narrowed into slits.
Wow~
It’s really nice to have a grandfather who is the richest man.
It would be great if I could make money by answering questions every day.
Just when Yao Yi was having unrealistic fantasies, Yao Zhennan poured a bucket of cold water on her.
"Next time you want to earn pocket money from me, it won't be that easy. Although you have got 1 million, grandpa still hopes that you will read the book I gave you carefully."
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
