Chapter 293: The Windfall of the Interview
"So, we can also calculate a very simple account. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Alice said: "My parents have had the habit of investing and managing money since they got married, and they will invest part of their salary in the stock market every year, but the results are also imaginable, of course, there are profits and losses. Using a big data estimate, until I was seven years old, the return rate of the whole family was about 7%. ”
Leonar carefully recorded: "Seven percent is not a big number, so, by big data ...... you mean?"
"There are profits and losses in the stock market, and the profits minus the losses, twelve months multiplied by seven years and three hundred and sixty-five days, can still maintain a positive number in so many investment times. Hey, Miss Oliver, Fortune could have done such a survey, or simply asked Wall Streeters, and they would have figured out what a positive return on hundreds of stock market investments was, and it was seven percent. ”
Undoubtedly, the current topic is the Alice-Wang family's view of finances, and Leonard is taking this information very seriously. Because of the family environment, her daughter had the concept of investing in business at a very young age, so Alice officially entered the business world at the age of 12, which is very valuable information!
"Thanks, Alice, but I also noticed that you were talking before the age of seven. In other words, when our genius girl was seven years old, she began to help her parents trade stocks?"
This was Leonar's tentative question, and Alice really nodded: "That's right, from seven to twelve years old, with my help and advice, the rate of return has increased from seven percent to eleven percent." Eh...... Okay, I know that a lot of certificates have to wait until I'm older, but in terms of knowledge, no one stopped me from reading all kinds of financial books, right?"
It was almost earth-shattering news, Leonard almost didn't break the baby pen, and wrote the "11%" symbol vigorously, she couldn't wait to ask: "Are all the data you said true? I mean, these are all calculated by you, what about the data source? Mr. and Ms. Wang, please forgive me for my doubts, after all, what we are talking about now is going to be published in magazines, if it is ......?"
"Statistics, of course. ”
Sophie smiled and said, "Alice just introduced me. As an accountant, as early as when I first entered Harvard, I began to professionalize investment and financial management, and since then, I have developed the habit of recording every transaction. If you really need to, I can really show you all the stock investment records from the time she was born to the age of twelve, do you?"
Then you don't need to ask, Leonar definitely has 10,000 reasons to need!
"Thank you so much!"
It was a surprise, and she said to Sophie in surprise: "A full twelve years of personal stock trading record, and, and, and this type of stable and high returns...... Ms. Wang, I would venture to ask, do you have any plans to publish a book? I can get the professional editors of Fortune to review it carefully, really...... This is simply a treasure book for stock speculation among investors across the country!"
Not to mention Leone, even Calle, as a photographer, was excited, and immediately spun around the sofa like a monkey, and the flash flashed wildly, taking countless close-ups for Sophie in an instant!
Just kidding, he's also a full-time camera assistant hired by Fortune, and he's been working in this circle for years. Accumulated 12 years, the return rate is 7 to 11 percent of the stock trading record, this kind of thing, who can not understand what the concept is?
"No problem, no problem at all. ”
The whole family was amused by their exaggerated reactions, and Sophie waved her hand and replied in the affirmative: "But let's wait a minute, we're interviewing Alice now, aren't we?"
After the excitement, the topic returned again, Leonard calmed the excitement in his heart, and prepared to record again: "In other words, helping your parents to trade stocks is your main achievement before the age of twelve." Well, the most classic example of this is ......"
"In 1980, Apple went public. On the first day of listing, we bought 20,000 yuan of its shares, and we also invested a certain amount every month after that. Now on the whole, although the stock price has been low recently, it has also brought us ...... Five million?"
"Five million seven hundred and fifty-four thousand three hundred and twenty yuan, as of last month's dividends. ”
Sophie explained: "However, because of the departure of Jobs, Apple's business situation and stock price are too bad to be true, so we have also sold a lot." Of course, there are a lot of repurchases, after all, it is not a stock market crash. ”
Leonar's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but be excited. Buying Apple shares quantitatively from the first day of listing, and making a net profit of nearly $6 million in seven years, is simply a classic case of identifying potential stocks.
And she knows that the behavior of the Wang family is really universal. Just like Sophie explained before and after, buying 20,000 yuan of shares on the first day of listing, and then investing in a quantitative amount every month, not greedy or frizzy, even if it encounters a downturn, it is only appropriately sold, which is completely what any middle-class family can do!
"Ms. Wang, after this interview, please come to our Fortune headquarters!"
When this conversation was recorded, Leonar could already anticipate how much performance he would receive when he returned to New York: "I believe that you and your investment record will definitely be the guests of our editorial department!"
The interview lasted an hour and a half, which was not surprising, but at least twenty minutes of it was spent on Sophie, which surprised everyone. Who would have thought that this reporter would be able to jump directly from the question "What did Alice do before she was twelve" to suggest that Sophie publish a book?
"It's so much fun!"
As soon as the door was closed, Sophie said to the whole family, "Guys, did you notice the look on the female reporter's face?
"Of course, if you are a private investment expert, she must be indispensable for performance bonuses. ”
Alice smiled and gave her mother a hug, then frowned and said, "Mom, do you want to compete with me for the status of a best-selling author?
Sophie smiled and rubbed Alice's head: "Look at what you girl said, don't you want your mother to be a little famous? James, Oscar, Hannah, what do you say?"
Both children smirked, and James touched his chin thoughtfully: "My daughter is a computer whiz, but she has become a best-selling author by writing novels." My wife is a lawyer and an accountant, but she is also favored by the editor of "Fortune", and she wants to make a book like investment notes. Heck, what about me, a true history professor? After all these years, I haven't really written anything to be proud of. ”
"Wahahahaha~ Dad, you're so unlucky~!"
Oscar can be regarded as laughing, and said unceremoniously: "In the professional field, I was knocked down by our two female generals!"
Hannah just smirked, James was laughed at by his son, his old face sank, and he said unhappily: "What nonsense, my professional field is historical knowledge, Alice and your mother, one is a novel, the other is investment experience, how can there be any professional conflict with me?"
Oscar only gloats, regardless of whether his pleasure is reasonable or not: "Then you will write a best-selling historical novel, and if you can make it to the New York Times chart, I will not play Super Mario for a month!"
This oath is remarkable, and the whole family knows that Oscar's favorite game is this video game, and even basketball and football can't compare to the charm of this plumber uncle.
"A month?"
Hannah furrowed her eyebrows suspiciously: "Oscar, why don't you play this game one day?
"That's why I bet it, hey, Dad, okay, if you can really write a best-selling novel about history, I really won't play it for a month!"
"Hey, then I'm going to have to work hard. ”
James was happy now: "Big guy, this is to make Oscar study hard, starting tonight, no one will bother me at night in the future, Dad, I'm going to write behind closed doors!"
"Have you figured out what to write?"
Alice was a little big: "Dad, your field of study is western cowboys, right? This kind of thing has been tossed countless times by countless American writers!"
"That's right, so what should I do?"
James also thought about it casually, if he really started writing, it would not be easy: "Alice, you have a lot of writing experience, you can give me ideas, is it better to write a formal history book about cowboys, or a historical novel?"
"If you want me to say, don't hold on to history. ”
Writing a book for her father to choose a theme, Alice is also full of Alexander: "Believe me, if you are Stavrianos, you want to write the "General History of the World", and I will cheer you on if you really write it." The history of American cowboys is such an unpopular ...... Dad, you know how many students you have in your class, right?"
Seeing his daughter say this, James also blushed a little.
Admittedly, for many American teenagers, American cowboy history is an unpopular elective subject by any measure. If you were to make a statistic of the absenteeism rate of all the courses in the entire cula, he would definitely be among the best.
"Then I'll ...... Write a serious western cowboy novel? That's fine, but what to write?"
Listening to her father's muttering, a very ♂ beautiful classic movie suddenly popped up in Alice's head.
"Dad, maybe we can write a book together?" (To be continued.) )
