Chapter 60: Don't miss the opportunity

February 5, 2023 is the 5th of the week, and early in the morning, Yuansheng took his family to watch the movie "Bear Infested. Stay with me "Bear Core".

With the continuous advancement of technology, the production of cartoons is becoming more and more sophisticated.

Because of "Bear Infested. "Bear Core" with me has added a large number of technological elements, attracting countless parents to watch it with their children, making it the highest box office in the "Bear Infested" series of movies, and it has also become the third box office in the Spring Festival stalls in 2023, second only to "Man Jianghong" and "The Wandering Earth 2".

Yuansheng knows: the higher the technology content, the more novel things, whether in life or the stock market, are very popular and full of opportunities.

Yuansheng remembers all his life: Wanfu Biotech opened the price limit on July 8, 2015, at that time, Yuansheng was very optimistic about it, but, in order to be stable, it adopted a conservative tactic: wait for the second day to send funds to play it, but it only took 4 minutes to open the price limit. On the day, it opened at $40.81 and the lowest was $39.20, closing at 40.81% with a turnover rate of 40.27%.

What Yuansheng regretted for the rest of his life was that from the 2nd day to the 6th day, 5 consecutive up-limit boards opened, and he couldn't buy it. The 7th and 8th days were low openings, the stock price had risen too high, and Yuansheng naturally would not buy it, and the result was another 2 price limits. That is to say: if Yuansheng adopts an aggressive strategy: buy a full position or a heavy position on the day of opening, at least 5 price limits can be taken behind (because the opening price is up and down, the daily turnover rate is less than 2%, and such a stable chip will naturally not be sold). Of course, the last 2 up limits may not be able to hold.

With a single thought, he lost 5 (or 7) up and down boards, so that Yuansheng could not forget. This is the time to lose! Yuansheng has been asking himself repeatedly: How can I avoid such a mistake in thought? What kind of tactics and strategies should be adopted? In order to avoid the recurrence of such regrets.

............

In the stock market, you need to be in the company of good stocks, even if you are trapped, it is easy to untie. If it is not satisfied, it can't kill itself at all------- Yuansheng has been reflecting like this.

In life, you have to deal with strongmen, and your goal from a young age is to aim at the best school or workplace..............

The following story is very inspiring to Yuansheng: In the current economic environment, many families who take the international route have also begun to make careful calculations and talk about "cost performance".

How to burn money to be the most cost-effective and achieve two-legged walking? C's mom has the most to say.

Her daughter has been studying in schools in the system, but she has steadily and ruthlessly spent money on English, scientific research, and interests, and has walked out of a path of "two-legged walking ability" with a very high cost performance, successfully helping her daughter get a high score in Tsinghua University's self-recruitment, and now she is studying for a doctorate in her favorite field.

Her recipe for burning money is very simple - "burn first and then save": before the age of 12, spend money on interests, English, and scientific research regardless of the cost, and develop self-motivation after the age of 12, and the child will take the initiative to find free and scarce resources, which is quite money-saving at the stage when others burn the most money.

C's mother said this: Nowadays, middle-class families in first-tier cities almost have no upper limit on their investment in children's education. My concept is that where you should burn money, you must be willing to burn it.

I started to let my daughter learn piano from kindergarten, and at that time, I invited a professor from a conservatory to teach one-on-one lessons, 1,000 yuan for 45 minutes, which was really high in Shanghai 10 years ago.

A very simple tune that I played for 3 months; It took 2 months to read music; Sometimes I watched her play 3 notes in a class, and 1000 yuan was gone.

In addition to formal classes, we found a college student with a high pitch for our daughter to spar at home, 500 yuan an hour.

The family of the piano child knows that even if you like it at first, it is almost certain that you will gradually dislike the piano. My daughter is the same, she learned painting and piano together, she likes painting from beginning to end, and she still uses it to relieve her stress in the senior year, but she doesn't like the piano more and more.

But I didn't compromise easily and insisted that she continue to learn.

Later, she persevered and successfully passed the grade 10 exam, making the piano a daily hobby that can be spent a lifetime.

I have always felt that good English skills are the key "ladder" for children to tiptoe to see the world. Like almost all parents in Shanghai, we invest in our daughter's English learning regardless of the cost: preschool, foreign teacher initiation classes, in a relatively large institution, 2-30,000 yuan a year of regular classes, and an additional 10,000 yuan during summer and winter vacations.

Primary school stage: 1-to-1 oral class with foreign teachers, come to chat with your daughter every week, 1200 yuan for 2 hours.

Junior high school stage: Famous foreign teachers teach critical thinking classes, also offline, 1000 yuan for 45 minutes.

High school stage: Take the TOEFL, SAT, AP, spend money bottomlessly, and once brushed off 70,000 yuan in a summer vacation.

The reason why the primary school added one-on-one foreign teacher classes to my daughter is that I hope she dares to speak and express herself confidently.

In English listening, speaking, reading and writing, we parents can listen to the original audio, listen to the news, watch movies, read the original books, and have a large number of resources to buy by ourselves.

Because you must not only speak fluently and correctly, but also have the courage to say what you think, which may be more advantageous than foreign teachers. They are better at praising children in fancy ways, and there are many ways to encourage them, which is still very helpful for cultivating self-confidence at an early age.

After practicing oral English, junior high school can be more in-depth and more thoughtful "discussion", which is the critical thinking ability that international schools value from elementary school.

The cultivation of this ability still has high requirements for foreign teachers, who can not only speak, but also have a deep knowledge system to inspire students in simple terms.

So I will find a foreign teacher for my daughter who has graduated from a prestigious school and taught in a well-known middle school abroad. Together, they will discuss the books they have read, as well as the topics and perspectives of their writing. I think that the way of thinking about reading and writing is different between foreign and domestic countries, and I hope that they will bring different perspectives to children, which is something that middle school students in the system are very lacking.

In addition, when my daughter was a child, she was very fond of doing handicrafts and experiments, and we have been learning from STEM interest classes.

When I was in junior high school, although I was very busy with my studies, I always set aside a period of time for competitions, such as the Youth Science Competition (National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition), the Modeling Competition, etc., and I won the first prize. The most rare thing is that for her, the excitement and sense of accomplishment brought by doing these projects is far greater than the role of receiving awards on her resume.

In fact, from this time on, almost all of my daughter's scientific and technological resources were found by herself.

She will search for professors and doctoral students from well-known foreign universities in her field of interest, and send emails to apply to join their academic programs. In the eyes of us adults, such a cold mail looks bold, how can a professor at a prestigious school be so busy and pay attention to it? But in fact, most professors and doctoral students, on the contrary, will be very talented, and will generally accept you happily when they see Chinese children thousands of miles away who are so motivated and eager to learn.

Of course, there are also prerequisites, English listening, speaking, reading and writing must be proficient, and achieve and

ative speake

Communicate freely, and even discuss academic topics to the extent that it is worth the money spent on learning English.

At that time, my daughter would regularly hold a Zoom meeting with her professor to discuss their ideas, recent papers, and their own findings and opinions. Although it was a pity that there was no thesis output in the end, the experience of participating in academic projects since high school also planted a precious seed for her, which drove her to study for a doctorate, and now she has started her own academic research.

On the other hand, my daughter often chats with seniors and seniors and asks them about their studies. Although these children are in the system, they have also been sent to Ivy League schools such as Princeton and Cornell

They are very good role models in their own right, and for teenagers, their parents may not want to listen to them, but the advice of their peers will definitely be followed.

This may be one of the reasons why parents in Shanghai pay so much attention to "school choice". School is the first resource for children, and a good school gives not only knowledge, but also test-taking ability, subtle cultivation of learning habits, concentration, and more importantly, let children clarify their own positioning.

It can be seen that everyone can train children, but it is very difficult to excel. It is this "two-legged walking" route planned since childhood that allows C's mother's daughter to not only apply to good overseas schools, but also get almost perfect scores in Tsinghua University's self-recruitment. In particular, the "ladder" of English has become a "differentiated advantage" that crushes many competitors in the system, and it comes in handy on the road to this prestigious school.

After reading this news, Yuansheng deeply understood: whether it is the stock market, study, or work, the competition is very fierce. Tomorrow is Week 1, how will the stock market perform? Let's see the next breakdown.
