Chapter 79: Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
In the study, Arthur looked at the resume in his hand, and from time to time observed Smith Jama sitting opposite, tall, well-maintained, typical of a white Swedish person, with a humble smile on his face, reserved and quiet.
Reserved and quiet are typical characteristics of all Swedes, mainly influenced by the dominant values "Jandai Law" that are popular in Northern Europe, and are also an important factor in the "quietness" of Swedes.
The "Jandai Law" is a value that does not advocate that people openly express their own ideals, ambitions, and aspirations, and does not encourage highlighting the uniqueness of the individual. In the Nordic region, don't be complacent when someone exclaims, "You've worked so hard", because a lot of the time it's not a compliment.
Closing his resume, Arthur reached out and picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip, and saw that Smith on the opposite side obviously straightened his waist, and the expression on his face became a little nervous, he smiled slightly, put down the teacup without changing his face, raised his head, and looked directly at each other, his eyes seemed to be looking at each other, but in fact, he moved up slightly, looking at the other party's hairline.
Facing Arthur's gaze, Smith Jama immediately felt a trace of unease and apprehension.
Arthur didn't expect that the way the butler Paul told him would really make the other party feel uneasy, so that he could easily gain the upper hand and oppress the other party.
"Don't be nervous, take it easy, how about black tea?"
"Oh, great black tea, thank you for your hospitality... β
Arthur's words made Smith Jama a little stunned, but quickly responded with a dry smile.
"I read your resume, yes, I also learned about your situation from the newspaper, under the global financial tsunami, many people have failed in business and are in debt, and I believe that there are not many who have not been affected, so you don't need to care too much about past failures.
The main reason why I want to meet you is because I will get involved in the field of financial investment in the future, and I need a veteran who is familiar with this industry as my advisor and assistant, after all, for the financial field, I am completely a newcomer, and I hope that with your help, I can make me take fewer detours. β
Arthur did not continue to detour, directly said his thoughts and intentions, he needs a guide to serve as an assistant staff officer, and will not reuse the other party at the beginning, in the face of wealth, no one can maintain a normal heart, Arthur is impossible to hand over a huge amount of money to others to operate.
The human heart is something that will never stand the test!
"Thank you for your appreciation, and it's a pleasure to serve you. Smith Jama heard Arthur's words, his heart breathed a long sigh of relief, the previous tension, anxiety and apprehension in his heart were gone, and the incomparably heavy burden that almost crushed him finally became much lighter, allowing him to breathe, and stood up with some excitement and said to Arthur with a slight bow.
"Hehe, sit down, don't be so restrained. Arthur chuckled and said, very satisfied with the other party's attitude. After Smith sat down, Arthur spoke again: "Can you tell me about the current situation in the global financial markets, and is it a good time to invest?"
Hearing Arthur's question, Smith Jama knew that the real test for him had begun, and if there was no wonderful analysis and interpretation in the professional field he was good at, I was afraid that the opportunity that had just arrived would be a question mark.
Fortunately, after hanging up the phone yesterday, he began to prepare, and even wrote an analysis of the current financial market, quickly recalled it in his mind, and began to answer his new boss's questions with a serious and serious expression.
"Since March, the stock market has bottomed out and has long since returned to the bull market. Now, a few months later, when the global stock market has reached another level, I am full of optimism about the future of the stock market. β
"But I think the stock markets in London and the United States have started to fall again in recent days, a bull market? Do you think the global recovery has begun? What is the state of the stock market now against the backdrop of the uncertain recovery prospects?" Arthur really doesn't know much about the stock market, but he also knows that the U.S. stock market did usher in a rise that lasted for several years in his previous life, and this general trend is known, but if you really want to make money from this general trend, you still have to be specific to each stock, and holding Apple shares for a long time is of course the safest way, but that will also trap his funds.
"The decline is only a short-term correction, and I believe that a bull market that has lasted for several years has already begun. The current global environment of low growth and low interest rates is beneficial to the stock market, and investor sentiment is also improving, shifting from pessimism to cautious optimism. U.S. investors are shifting money away from cash and into other asset classes.
I think it's likely that the bull market that started in March is still in its early stages, and so far the stock market has rallied a lot, and I think the bull market is going to continue for a longer period of time, although there is likely to be a correction at some point in the future. So, it's not too late to invest in the stock market. β
Speaking of the field he is good at, he has found a valuable person to confide in, Smith Jama changed his previous faint depressed temperament and confidently said his opinion.
Arthur nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with Smith Jama's clear analysis and wording, if Smith really wanted to give him some ambiguous, up-and-down analysis, Arthur would definitely treat the other party as a fool and was directly afraid of death.
"If I want to invest, what are the potential risk factors that I should pay attention to at the moment?"
Smith Jama's eyes lit up, straightened his body slightly, and said with a more serious face: "The first risk factor worth noting is the leverage operation that has not been completely lifted, which may bring constraints to economic growth.
Secondly, as the economic cycle progresses, we will certainly see higher interest rates and renewed inflationary pressures in the future, but I think inflation is not something to worry about, at least for the next few years.
In addition, stricter regulation after this round of crisis, especially for industries such as finance, may have an impact on the stock market. In the long term, most companies will be able to adapt to this policy change gradually, but in the short to medium term, the enhancement potential of some companies may be negatively affected by stricter regulation.
This is the result of my analysis of some of the listed companiesγγγγγγ β
As he spoke, Smith took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Arthur with both hands, to be honest, Smith was also very glad that he was not degrading during this low period, but worked harder to sort out the materials, hoping to use these analysis and research results to find a job. Although the reality has taught him a good lesson, I believe that after the age of 35, it is really difficult to find a job.
But today, he really understood another sentence, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared!
