Subtitle of this chapter: Half set of courtyard houses in the imperial capital has been replaced with a phd in New York.

Yuan Yan suddenly threw herself into such a favor. Professor Irving Adams immediately reported it to Li. He turned to his colleague and asked, "Yurian, what is your point of view?"

Professor Chandler replied: "Irving, I have no problem here. However, three professors need to jointly sign up for a doctoral degree by skipping the grade, and one is still missing now."

Professor Adams waved his pipe and said proudly: "I believe that as long as Yuan's paper is written, Stern Academy will not be able to find someone willing to join us..."

It is not uncommon for a student you teach to have a doctorate, but the value of a doctor who can write such a masterpiece of theoretical economics is naturally very different. Who dares to say that you can only be a bank counter manager in the future?

Professor Chandler nodded and said, "You are right. Then..."

He turned to Yuan Yan and said, "You have to complete this paper by March next year. And... you have to pay."

It is indeed a vicious capitalist society, and everything needs to be discussed.

Yuan Yan frowned and said, "But I have paid the tuition fee. Doesn't it include the fees for the thesis defense?"

The two professors were stunned when they heard this. This Chinese man had made a mistake. Compared to completing a doctoral thesis of at least three or four hundred pages within six months, what is the point of paying some money for a "gentleman"?

But the nickname is "Adams, the good guy (of course, because his colleagues have never been to the women's school, or they didn't meet him when they went there." He had a good temper and explained patiently: "Mr. Yuan, you paid the tuition for a master's degree, and now you are applying for a phd... Of course this is different."

If some people pay two years of master's tuition, but when they are writing their thesis, they apply for a doctorate, if this guy really passes, isn't this equivalent to spending the master's tuition to become a doctorate?

Don Dangdang Nyu is a private university, not a night school for workers. So you have to pay... Then pay it.

Professor Adams stood up and took out a file from the bookshelf, flipped it out, and said, "Two years of phd tuition and general-fee, excluding dormitory and book fees (room & textbook), a total of 800 US dollars. (Author's note: Here we refer to the tuition fees of Columbia University in 1920, but you don't have to be too serious."

Is it more than US$800? Actually, it is not much. Calculated based on purchasing power parity, it is roughly equivalent to US$12,000 in Yuan Hongjian's era. If calculated based on the price of gold (22 US dollars/1 ounce of gold), it is equivalent to more than 300,000 yuan. If calculated based on the salary level, it is probably equivalent to the annual salary of skilled American workers now. Of course, if calculated based on Ms. Ivanovna's "wage", it is 80 times.

However, the account can be calculated like this. At this time, the $800 in Magic City can already buy a house in full, and it is not a one-bedroom apartment in the remote suburbs, but a duplex house with a bustling area in the city surrounding the big world with at least 100 square meters!

If you want to calculate the housing prices in the imperial capital... In 1919, when the May Fourth Movement occurred, Mr. Lu Xun bought a courtyard house in Beijing, with three houses in front and back, with a total price of more than 20 houses, with a total price of 3,500 yuan. According to the exchange rate, it is exactly twice the US$800. This is a courtyard house within the Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital!

However, even if the 800 US dollars can be bought for the Forbidden City, Yuan Yan still has to pay. Of course, he definitely doesn't have that much money around him, so he had to write a letter to his family to ask for it.

Since the matter was finished, he was about to say goodbye to the two professors when he heard the master ball making another strange sound.

"Dingdingding, the host obtains b coins, the system is calculating..."

"Dangdangdang, the host has received 17b coins, and the current balance is 20b coins."

"Ah, there are only so few this time?!"

"Please read the instructions carefully."

In fact, the two professors of Stern College can only be said to be unknown in history; but they have a high understanding of the major; but because Yuan Yanshu's book "Socialism" is now just an outline and directory, it is not like it or not, it can only be said to be optimistic. Moreover, these two people are inevitably a bit racist, and they have to give the impression score a big discount.

If you calculate this way, in fact, according to the base of 5% b coins, 13b coins is not low. Of course, compared to the 10003b coins provided by Annatasia, it is a big deal.

Yuan Yanshu really doesn't understand why "Fifty Shades of Gray" that was given to "The Red Queen of Queen" can get so many B coins?

Last time I was fooled by Master Ball, I must ask clearly this time.

"Host, you ask about this. Didn't you tell you last time? Because this book greatly accelerated the pace of history's development in the right direction. The lady who did a lot of popularization work, when calculating the b coins she provided, there were so many b coins because of the variable multiplier."

"S/m is also the correct direction of history?!"

"That's certainly. Host, do you know Michel Foucault?"

"Is that postmodernist master and homosexual?"

"Host, this system found that you are very concerned about the sexual orientation of masters."

"Tsk, what do you know about Master Ball? Most normal people cannot understand the theories of postmodern masters. If they don't do something that normal people don't do, how can I remember a normal person like me?"

"The host doesn't have to always claim that he is a straight man. This is a completely symbol of feudal backwardness in your era."

"Okay, answer the question quickly."

"Michel Foucault believes that the end of the eighteenth century was the exact time when the s/m cultural phenomenon appeared. However, in the following hundreds of years, it was just a personal behavior of people, and it was also an activity carried out purely in private places that was free from social life. It was not until the second half of this century that it gradually became an increasingly eye-catching social and cultural phenomenon, and finally became a real subculture."

"Host, you have promoted this historical process and are completely harmless in the development of the main line of history, so... please keep working hard!"

How hard do you have to work?! Could it be that the next time I plagiarize "Lolita"... Yuan Yan suddenly felt cold behind her. This was started in three years.

At this time, Yuan Yan had already realized that he had to write this book "Socialism" first. Then he could get some b-coins from the academic circle of economics, and then...why copy "Brokeback Mountain" or "Danish Girl"?
