Chapter 346: "Currency Wars" to "Poor Dad, Rich Dad" (1)
So, Wu Zhen rushed to the study on the roof like a whirlwind.
In the afternoon, the prefaces of the remaining books were finished by Wu Zhen.
However, many of the books seem to require a high level of expertise, so Wu Zhen seems to be struggling.
In the end, Wu Zhen chose the book called "Currency Wars" (now we call it "Currency Wars 1"), because this book seems to be more down-to-earth, a lot of content can be understood, and there is a lot of history-related content.
The history of the Rothschilds is undoubtedly very fascinating, after all, where can the average person think of such an angle to describe these events from the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars.
It is not easy to list a bunch of war facts, and it is even more valuable to include these financial stories.
It is hard for Wu Zhen to imagine what terrible war money was obtained by the person who announced the defeat of Britain and desperately bought British bonds at a low price during the British victory in the first example.
However, such a thing seems unlikely today.
After all, with globalization, most of the information is instantly available.
This information gap across the small English Channel seems to be just an old legend.
Moving on, the rest is even more bizarre, as the family swells up as the banking systems of the major European countries are taken into account.
However, according to the simple annual rate of return on bank deposits, the family will now have a wealth of more than 50 trillion.
Looking at this data, Wu Zhen looked a little frightened.
However, it seems that this data is a little distorted, after all, there is no guaranteed profit or loss in business.
For example, in the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, the huge rich Fan Li was also Tao Zhugong, if the annualized income was 1%, then even if only a few taels of silver were left, so calculated, by now dozens of descendants of Tao Zhugong are now rich and rival the ball.
However, risks are everywhere, and after the Spring and Autumn Period, the world will be divided for a long time, and it is almost impossible to have such a stable business.
After all, even the best Confucian family had been killed in the Confucian era.
Although the history of the Rothschilds seems to be very close to the present, the modern history of the world is even more complex. From Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, to France, and the United Kingdom, the world stage is constantly changing, and the development of the Americas is a miracle.
Then, with the development of technology and political changes, the investment method has changed dramatically, and there is hardly any way of doing business that can always reap stable profits.
Moreover, the growth of people's incomes and prices also seem to be very irregular, for example, in England, a long time ago a shilling (a very small British unit of money) could eat a lot, but now it is not easy to eat a pound.
Naturally, even the seemingly sound banking sector is a survival of the fittest, with 99% of the most prominent banks in history going bankrupt or restructured for a variety of reasons.
Therefore, with in-depth thinking, Wu Zhen's emotions gradually calmed down.
The sunlight on the windowsill outside the study was just right, so Wu Zhenzhen simply basked in the sun while reading a book for the next time.
After looking down carefully, Wu Zhen found that the author was still very powerful.
After all, it is not easy to bring so much knowledge of economics and finance into the historical story.
Later, the relevant content of the Fed is more abstract.
After all, the need for more knowledge of economics has increased, and it is becoming more and more difficult for Wu Zhen to understand the content of the book.
The only thing that impressed me was that after the dollar was pegged to gold, it would be possible to brush the dollar without too many restrictions.
Naturally, time continues to immerse itself in the book.
Then, some of the content that I didn't understand at first became a bit more eyebrow-raising, after all, American history is inherently difficult to understand.
Generally speaking, most people know the most about the three presidents Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt Jr.
Therefore, the presidents such as Jefferson and Wilson mentioned in the book seem very fresh.
The more I watched, the more interesting Wu Zhen felt.
Xiaoxing was holding the computer to supplement the content of "Detective Conan", and naturally, Wu Zhen was not interested in this.
Since there were no children watching TV, my grandfather sitting in the living room seemed bored, but there was nothing he could do.
For several days in a row, it was sunny, so enjoying the warm winter sun on the balcony on the top of the villa and watching "Currency War", Wu Zhenzhen looked very fulfilling.
However, after repeated scrutiny, Wu Zhen found that there seemed to be many contradictions in this book.
So, I found a piece of paper and recorded these questions.
After all, what interests you should be studied to the end.
Naturally, Wu Zhen hoped to requisition Xiaoxing's computer to check the information, but "Detective Conan" seemed to have a very strong appeal, so in the end, Xiaoxing did not agree.
So, Wu Zhenzhen had no choice but to continue to flip through the book, record the questions, and prepare to check it again when he went home.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it was almost time to go home, and Wu Zhencai reluctantly put down this "Currency War".
Sitting on the bus and looking at the scenery outside the window, Wu Zhen's expression was very strange.
Lao Wu asked, "What have you learned in the past few days?" ”
Wu Zhen immediately talked endlessly about the Rothschild family, and naturally, these words suddenly made Lao Wu stunned.
After returning home and talking to his grandparents about the new news in Z City, Wu Zhenzhen began to sort out his notes.
After all, the book is certainly very rich, and if you don't organize it carefully, you're likely to miss a lot of key issues.
Then, after more than a day of hard work, Wu Zhenzhen looked at the three pages of sorted content, looking very satisfied.
However, after Lao Wu went to work with his real mother, Wu Zhen turned on the computer and searched for keywords and immediately found that many things seemed to be exaggerated by this book.
The Federal Reserve, for example, does not appear to be a "private bank" and is subject to congressional regulation.
In the book, however, its function is exaggerated.
However, after carefully checking the information in a small notebook, Wu Zhen is still very grateful for this book.
After all, many ideas have not been thought of before.
Through the enlightenment of this book, you can understand a lot of basic knowledge.
Then, the real mother came home and found that Wu Zhen was reading this, so she also took out a copy of "Poor Dad, Rich Dad" from the drawer and said, "If you are interested, take a look at this book." ”
Undoubtedly, compared with "Currency Wars", "Poor Dad, Rich Dad" is obviously a better dry goods.
So, in the next few days, I carefully flipped through the book.
It seems that as the stock market has fallen a few steps from its crazy peak, more and more people are starting to pay attention to investment and financial management.
Then books like "Poor Dad, Rich Dad" became a sales myth, but it still seems difficult for most people to do the things in the book.
So, while many of these books have made the author rich, it seems difficult for most readers to make good use of what they have learned in the book.
Even, the concepts in many books are difficult to analyze clearly, after all, many books are public and reasonable, and mother-in-law says that mother-in-law is reasonable, and ordinary people can't distinguish between them.
