Chapter 093: Opportunist
The next Sunday morning, Kishimoto appeared on the street where Miki's bookstore was located. He didn't mean to, but after breakfast, he felt that he had nothing to do, so he thought of going out for a walk, and walked and walked to get here.
Masayoshi Kishimoto walked to the door of Miki Bookstore and turned sideways and walked inward. As soon as he entered the store, he saw Natsui Makoto, dressed in the uniform of an employee of Miki Bookstore, stacking newly arrived books in the most conspicuous place in the door.
My first reaction was that the other party did not lie to me. Just yesterday, she said to herself that this is what happened.
Natsui Makoto was slightly surprised when she saw him. She smiled sweetly at Masayoshi Kishimoto with a smile on her face.
Kishimoto nodded back, walked straight to her, and stopped at her side, but didn't make small talk, just picked up one of the new books she was stacking.
The name of my new book is called "Quantum Fund". The small print on the cover also features the names of Jim Rogers and George Soros, the founders of the Quantum Fund.
Masayoshi Kishimoto understands that this is another book on successful investing, and the author must be teaching people how to invest in success and so on. However, this kind of book has a huge audience in any country in the world.
In the context of the Asian financial crisis, which has not yet completely passed, this kind of book will definitely sell well, after all, it coincides with an important point in time. Otherwise, the bookstore owner would not have placed it in the most conspicuous place at the entrance, and asked the clerk to pile up a book tower.
Masayoshi Kishimoto opened the cover very casually, and looked at it very casually. The author's foreword is nothing more than talking about how Jim Rogers and George Soros successfully counterattacked and turned into an international financial predator.
Masayoshi Kishimoto couldn't help but have a mockery on his face, which was completely to cater to ordinary people. In his opinion, it is almost nonsense, without analyzing and summarizing why the two of them are successful in the investment field from the root, and this kind of success is something that ordinary people cannot imitate and replicate.
However, the book has to be said to be imitated and copied, so that more people can achieve success in investment. However, Kishimoto thought about it, if it wasn't written like that in the book, who would buy it?
After all, the people who buy this kind of books will definitely not be elites, let alone elites in the field of investment. The book's market positioning and target group are ordinary people.
In order to make ordinary people read with more passion and enthusiasm, it is natural that the creative techniques above YY novels are written into it.
As a result, Kishimoto Masayoshi naturally remembered the "Currency War" series written by Song Hongbing in the later generations. The reason why "Currency Wars" became popular in China in later generations is the same as this book called "Quantum Fund".
"The Quantum Fund" borrowed the names of Jim Rogers and George Soros, while "Currency Wars" borrowed the names of the Rothschilds. To put it bluntly, they are not financial books at all, but financial novels.
Jim Rogers is less well-known than George Soros. However, both he and George Soros are opportunists in the financial sector.
Their speculation is not at all a gambler's speculation on the lottery, but an independent analysis based on the collection of a large amount of relevant information, and finally make an investment decision.
Masayoshi Kishimoto and the two of them operate differently, but they can be regarded as peers. He knew that no matter who that person was, the process of making the final decision was an extremely painful one for the individual.
People who have not yet realized this extreme pain are not decision-makers at all. Once the chips are gone, the result of a bad decision cannot be saved in advance and restarted like in the game, and it will only cause a loss of real money.
In Kishimoto's view, it is not because Jim Rogers and George Soros have succeeded and become famous, but because they feel that they are not ordinary people.
Jim Rogers is a graduate of Yale University and Oxford University, while George Soros is a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science.
The universities from which the two of them graduated are both world-class universities. It can be seen that their intelligence level is much higher than that of ordinary people. If you are really an ordinary person with an average level of intelligence, will you be able to pass the exam?
Both Jim Rogers and George Soros are extraordinarily hardworking, at least three times as hard as the average person.
As Jim Rogers humbly puts it, "I don't think I'm smart, but I do work very, very, very hard." If you can work really hard and love what you do, you have a chance to succeed."
In an interview with reporters, Soros said, "Rogers is an outstanding analyst and is particularly hardworking, doing the work of six people alone."
Even these two points alone can directly eliminate more than 99% of the world's people. This does not include the natural talents of the two of them, who are already different from ordinary people.
Do you really think that the two of them hit the treasure like buying a lottery ticket? However, ordinary people don't see these things, and they don't want to look at these things, but they want to see how they can make a fortune lying down, become a fat man in one bite, and always think of a book of unrealistic things.
In 1970, the quantum fund co-founded by Jim Rogers and Soros had an average annual return of just over 50% for ten consecutive years.
Therefore, those so-called teachers who write successful investment books or pull people to make people N times their investment returns within a year are pure nonsense and deception.
Kishimoto most hates the kind of people and tones in society that advocate the uselessness of reading. Reading, see what you read?
Don't think that after graduating from college, after finishing the book, you can completely "put the knife and gun into the warehouse, cast the sword into a plowshare, put the horse in the South Mountain, and unload the armor and return to the field".
In fact, reading is really just beginning, even more than when you were a student. The books that were required to be read when I was a student were a set of things that the people of the Ministry of Education of the government and the Ministry of Education carefully formulated in order to train the obedient people or cultivate the middle class.
That set of things is like the branches of a big tree, or the branches that have been artificially pruned. As for the backbone, it is up to the individual to make efforts to explore and excavate on his own.
Kishimoto's mind came to Jim Rogers' understanding of reading, "I always find it useful to bury my head in hard reading.
I found it easy and profitable if I only acted on what I understood, rather than asking someone to tell me what to do."
