Chapter 500: Guide to Becoming a Stock God
On this day, Guo Guangchang invited Lu Yiming to have breakfast. During the meal, Guo Guangchang said to Lu Yiming, "Did you watch the episode of "Making Money" last night?"
Lu Yiming said, "I'm not interested in these financial programs. Senior, you should watch less of them. Watching too much of this kind of stuff will affect your IQ."
"Hey, I'm not kidding you, and this is not my business, it's your business."
Guo Guangchang said: "Peng Dingguo said in the program that Yang Baiwan's money making is part of the trend of the times, and you are just lucky."
When Lu Yiming heard this, instead of getting angry, he smiled sincerely and said, "This Peng Dingguo usually talks a lot of nonsense, but this time he was really reliable and said something good."
As a second-generation man, Lu Yiming has a clear goal and he knows how to proceed. Most importantly, he is thick-skinned, so what others say cannot affect his character at all.
What's more, Peng Dingguo's judgment this time was indeed not wrong.
In the face of the torrent of the times, an individual is just a tiny speck of dust and is nothing at all.
Guo Guangchang felt that Lu Yiming had not yet understood what he meant, so he reminded him, "That's not the point. The point is that there are rumors circulating in the market that you made money only by luck, not by your ability. Your position as the stock god is no longer stable."
Lu Yiming laughed and said, "I never said I was the stock god, and who wants this position?"
A financial column.
The new stock god, Wang Xiujie, talks freely in front of the camera.
"In stock trading, only those who know how to exit are true masters. In our country, stocks are a new thing, not many years old, and many stock investors, due to lack of experience, easily fall into a misunderstanding, that is, they ignore the bottom, hesitate to confirm the rise, buy boldly near the top, and are unwilling to stop losses when the market falls sharply, and finally get stuck."
It has to be said that although Wang Xiujie's academic qualifications are only at the night school level, he has worked in a securities company for six or seven years and has rich practical experience, making him a true "professional."
There are many skills and knowledge in the financial industry that ordinary people cannot access, but he knows them all clearly.
The host sitting opposite him was also very professional and quickly asked a question that many stockholders were most concerned about: "If ordinary retail stockholders are trapped, there is no hope, right?"
Wang Xiujie replied calmly, "That's not the case. If you are really stuck, you can use the spread method to get out of the trap. Exit at the staged high first, and then enter again when the staged bottom appears. If you just hold on, it will be difficult to get out of the trap, and the longer you wait, the more you lose."
Wang Xiujie took out a book from somewhere, showed it to the camera, and then said: "This is my book "You Can Become a Stock God". It contains my experience and thoughts in the financial circle over the years. I think it should be helpful to the majority of retail investors."
The host looked at the title of the book and said in a teasing tone: "The title of your book is really interesting. Do you think ordinary people can become stock gods?"
Wang Xiujie said without hesitation: "Of course, the so-called stock god is not a god in essence. He just has mastered skills that ordinary retail investors don't have."
Then Wang Xiujie took the book in his hand and began to brag about himself: "In my book, I have specifically introduced the survival, escape and risk avoidance techniques of the stock market masters, with examples and stock charts. I have dug deep and detailed the profound and difficult to learn and explain stock trading techniques and secrets of the masters, and simplified them from complex to simple. I guarantee that you will gain a lot from reading it."
The host carefully took the book "You Can Become a Stock God" from Wang Xiujie's hand, as if he had taken over a treasure pot that could make money. He couldn't let it go, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would be so open-minded and willing to share such a secret book in the stock market. I believe this is definitely good news for the majority of stock investors."
Wang Xiujie immediately acted like he was the most righteous person in the world, and said in a sarcastic tone, "I published the book because I saw that the current stock market is too chaotic, and ordinary people often suffer losses, so I wanted to benefit the public. I am not like some people who become stock gods and then seek fame and reputation, but do not know how to give back to society and keep their stock trading skills secret."
Although he didn't mention anyone by name, anyone who had watched the news knew that Wang Xiujie's words were a blatant mockery of Lu Yiming.
After all, Lu Yiming is now the number one stock god in Xia Country. However, Lu Yiming only threw out a few stocks and the so-called value investment concept, and retail investors still don’t know how to trade stocks. It is purely giving fish to people. Wang Xiujie feels that he is teaching people how to fish, which is a level higher than Lu Yiming.
As the interview program was broadcast, a public opinion storm quietly formed around Lu Yiming, and it was coming with great force.
Lu Yiming knew nothing about this.
Stock trading hall.
Several veteran stock investors were enthusiastically discussing last night's show and talking about Wang Xiujie, the stock god of China Overseas.
A stockholder in a military green coat said with disdain, "This Lu Yiming claims to be the stock god of Xia Country, but he doesn't bless ordinary small retail investors like us. Wang Xiujie is really down-to-earth."
A retail investor nearby said, "That's not right. Didn't Lu Yiming recommend several stocks before? I took a look and they are indeed rising. How can he say that he won't bless retail investors?"
Brother Coat snorted and said, "What's the use? The stock price only goes up a little bit a year. There's no way to get rich. What's more, those stocks are not available to retail investors like us now."
Another retail investor nearby also chimed in, "So, our Zhonghai's own stock god is still trustworthy. By the way, have you bought Wang Gu Shen's new book?"
As he spoke, he took out the book "You Can Become a Stock God" that he always carried with him. I said proudly, "I bought this book as soon as it came out and finished reading it overnight. I feel that I have learned a lot. Moreover, the more I read, the more I understand, and the more I realize that stocks are just like that. As long as I accumulate experience and work hard in the stock market, I am confident that I can become a stock god like him! This Wang Xiujie is really unreserved."
"Really? Is this book really that amazing?"
Although Brother Coat watched the talk show, he did not buy the book. Now seeing this person praising the book so highly, he suddenly became skeptical.
After hearing this, several people nearby also looked over.
"So amazing? Can you lend me this book?"
"Where did you buy this book?"
"Does the newsstand outside have this book for sale? If so, I'll go buy one right away."
Their eyes were filled with eager desire.
After all, the idea of getting rich quickly by stock speculation is too attractive to everyone.
"Haha, you really asked the right person. I brought several copies here today. I can sell them to you."
Just at this moment, Xu Dabing walked into the trading hall.
He is quite famous among retail investors because he often buys stocks in large amounts, especially since he trades stocks with a group of fellow Northeasterners, and they are called the "Northeast Gang" by many local retail investors.
The man who was showing off the book "You Can Become a Stock God" saw Xu Dadan, raised the book in his hand high and shouted, "Xu Dadan!"
When Xu Dadan heard someone calling his name, he immediately looked over and said, "Ji Jincai, what are you doing?"
Ji Jincai said, "What can I do? How about a copy of 'You Can Become a Stock God'? This is a book written by Zhonghai Wang, the stock god. You will definitely learn a lot after reading it."
After hearing this, Xu Dadan immediately said with disdain, "Wang Gushen? What kind of rotten fish and shrimp is worthy of being called the Gushen? He even looked down on my idol on a TV show. It's really nonsense. I think his book takes up space even if I use it as a table leg. Why buy it? What's the point of buying it?"
Ji Jincai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Isn't your idol that Lu Yiming?"
Xu Dada snorted and said, "Why? No way?"
Although he wanted to refute it, after taking a look at the tall and strong Xu Dabing and comparing it with his own thin body, Ji Jincai finally backed off: "Humph, I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. I'm not even bothering to sell it to you."
He handed the book to someone next to him and asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
Ji Jincai had already boasted about the book so much, and Wang Xiujie had also been showing off recently, so the man readily paid for it and said, "Buy it."
Anyway, if I don’t buy it from Ji Jincai, I will have to buy it when I go to the bookstore later. If I buy it now, I can still read a few pages and wait for it to open.
Several other people also bought books from Ji Jincai. More than half of the dozen books in Ji Jincai's canvas bag were sold at once. And he sold them directly at the marked price - you know, he bought these books at a super low price.
He didn't know whether the stock trading skills in the book could help people make money, but he was very sure that if he sold the book, he would be able to make some money.
The bloody storm from Zhonghai soon reached the southeast corner.
Lu Yiming, who had already gone on vacation, had just returned to Baiyun and had not had time to enjoy his winter vacation when he learned from Li Yiwen that the stock circle was now condemning him.
Lu Yiming was speechless after hearing this.
"Denounce me? What evil things have I done again?"
He thought about it for a long time and felt that since he bought the house, he had been devoted to it and had never shown up in public. It was really incredible that there were still people criticizing him.
Li Yiwen said, "Some time ago, Wang Xiujie appeared on a show and promoted his own book, which teaches people how to trade stocks. He said that it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. He is now a hot new star in Zhonghai's stock market. Some people even think that he is the stock god of Xia Country, and you are just a person who seeks fame and reputation and is not worth mentioning."
Then Li Yiwen took out a book and handed it to Lu Yiming: "This is the book, take a look."
"Can you become a stock god too?"
Lu Yiming only glanced at the cover and laughed contemptuously: "You can become a stock god by reading books? Are you trying to make me laugh to death and then inherit my inheritance?"
Li Yiwen said matter-of-factly: "I flipped through this book and found that many of the techniques it describes are very practical."
Lu Yiming threw the book aside.
"There's no point talking about stock trading skills. The bankers just use the money to crash the market, and even commit financial fraud and insider trading. No matter how skilled you are, can you make money from them?"
If someone else said this, Li Yiwen would definitely think it was out of jealousy, but who is Lu Yiming?
In terms of assets, a hundred Wang Xiujies tied together cannot compare to a single hair of Lu Yiming.
Therefore, there is no need for Lu Yiming to be jealous of Wang Xiujie. The reason why he is so disdainful of "You Can Also Become a Stock God" is most likely because this book is really not good.
"What you said seems to make sense. If the dealers really follow the book, they are not dealers anymore."
Lu Yiming said contemptuously: "It's a very simple truth. The stock market is a true zero-sum game. Every penny of the winner is earned from the losers. Now someone has published a book, saying that it will teach everyone how to make money by speculating in stocks. Then the question is, if everyone makes money according to the methods in the book, who will be responsible for losing money?"
After hearing this, Li Yiwen burst into laughter and said, "That's the truth, haha."
In fact, as long as you are not greedy, you will not be fooled in this matter. After all, the logic is there and you can figure it out with a little thinking.
It’s a pity that greed makes people stupid, otherwise how could there be such proverbs as “People die for money and birds die for food”?
"I thought before that you would be unhappy if someone like this came to challenge your position. Now it seems that I was totally worrying too much."
"But you can't just let him bully you, right? Aren't you going to make an explanation?"
Lu Yiming asked back, "What's the point of saying that? Fight back against him? Why should I fight back against him? Just let him be high-profile. Isn't there a saying? The higher you climb, the harder it hurts when you fall."
Li Yiwen said: "That's not the way to put it. You are no longer alone. Let's not talk about potential allies. Let's talk about your friends, relatives, subordinates and even partners. Everyone is paying attention to you. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight."
Lu Yiming lay on the sofa like Ge You, and said with a look of resentment: "Can't I just be a quiet handsome man?"
Li Yiwen joked: "Okay, but can you accept losing money?"
When he heard about losing money, Lu Yiming immediately couldn't sit still and said righteously: "You can slander me in the newspapers and media, but losing money is absolutely unacceptable!"
Li Yiwen was delighted: "Isn't that the end?"
Then, he reminded: "The Future Fund now relies entirely on your reputation. You have made money from investors, so you have an obligation to boost their confidence."
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "I had originally planned to make a fortune quietly, but it seems that this won't work. Please send information to the newspapers we acquired in Hong Kong and expose the news that I made a lot of money in the US stock market."
"Um."
A few days later.
"Who is the real stock god who made 20 billion!"
"The top understanding of value investing, the shocking plan of the richest man!"
"Shocked, the two richest men may become enemies. Let me tell you the untold story between Lu Yiming and Bill Gates!"
Since being invested in by Lu Yiming, several media outlets such as Sing Tao Daily have become more and more creative, with all kinds of shocking headlines that can make people drop their jaws at any time .
Although the headlines of news reports in these media outlets are becoming more and more shocking, their sales are rising steadily, which is hard to deny.
There's no way, such a sensational title makes it impossible to control oneself.
What's more, the news reported by Sing Tao Daily and other media outlets this time is still very substantive and not just clickbait.
Yau Ma Tei, fruit market.
He Jianhua, a former gang leader who runs a fruit stall, put one foot on a cardboard box, stared at the newspaper in amazement, slapped his son in the face and said, "If you don't study hard, I'll beat you to death."
The son was dissatisfied and said, "Dad, don't you think you started out as a gangster when you were 15? Aren't you quite impressive now? What future can studying bring?"
He Jianhua threw the newspaper in his son's face and yelled, "What a future you have. Look at them. They got into prestigious schools and made a lot of money. They made more than 20 billion in one go. Can all the clubs in Hong Kong make that much money?"
Then she picked up a feather duster and gave her son an offering of love on the spot.
As a loyal user of Future Fund, He Jianhua basically doesn't care about pipeline matters anymore. Working so hard is not as good as making more money by buying financial products. Why bother?
What's more, times have changed. If we continue to play like before, it would be like an old man hanging himself - are we dissatisfied with our life?
Future Fund Company’s Hong Kong headquarters.
Meng Xiujie, Xie Xingwang and Nie Shilong have now become the backbone of the Future Fund.
On this workday, three people came to the office, made a pot of good tea, and then began to drink tea while reading newspapers.
Soon, they noticed the news about Lu Yiming.
Meng Xiujie slapped his thigh in excitement: "Boss, this is really awesome. Either you don't move, or if you move, it will be earth-shattering."
Xie Xingwang said with emotion: "Two billion, more than all of us earn combined. No wonder Mr. Lu can become the richest man, while we can only work for him."
At this moment, Wei Liqun opened the door and said, "You all know about President Lu's killing spree in the United States, right?"
The three of them sat down immediately.
"knew."
"Boss Lu is so awesome."
As financial practitioners themselves, they knew very well how difficult it was for Lu Yiming to earn more than 20 billion from the United States. This required not only courage, but also accurate vision and a perfect layout.
Wei Liqun said: "Mr. Lu is the richest man but he still works so hard. What excuses do you have to be lazy and lie down? Think about your income and your future! Tell your people to act quickly and immediately. Those who want to attract customers should attract customers, and those who want to talk about investment should talk about investment. If you want to make a lot of money, act now! Hurry up and assign tasks."
"yes."
"Let's go, let's go."
"Let's go to work."
After the three left, Wei Liqun called Lu Yiming .
"Hello, Mr. Lu, this is Lao Wei... Yes, yes, yes, I've read everything in the newspaper. Congratulations to Mr. Lu for returning with a great success... What? You will come to Hong Kong to attend the company's annual meeting during the Chinese New Year? That's great. The brothers will definitely be very happy to know!"
