Chapter 42: The best good is like water

Zuo Qiucai and his friends did not spread in the department. Even in the 06 Tourism Management Class, there were many people who only knew that they were very busy every day, and they didn’t know what they were doing. Those who knew about their affairs in the department, except for their counselor Su Lin and the deputy director in charge of student work, there was no one else. After all, although they were the first student in S University to set up a company as a student, the scale of the company could not attract the attention of others.

In the past few days after the company was established, Zhou Ziyang made some signature posters and posted them in the school’s information column. Some familiar people came to join in the fun. The matter of their establishment of the company was quietly spread among the classmates. However, they only saw Zhou Ziyang and Ji Xiujuan in charge of recruitment, as well as Cao Yinghao and Wang Zhaonan who were going to cause trouble, and Zuo Qiucai, the number one in the company, did not have any understanding of the company’s number one.

Zuo Qiucai was so happy that he was not too arrogant in front of others. In fact, he was not a person with a singular personality. He had to attend the welcome party in the department and had it done so. After that, he was very low-key. If he had not represented the department in the school's crosstalk sketch competition now, students from other classes might have forgotten him.

When Zuo Qiu was in his previous life, he performed more low-key in school. Except for the people in the class, he did not have too much contact with other people. Even with his classmates, he had a very weak relationship. So now he doesn’t have many ideas or opinions about those people. Since the recruitment matter has been left to Zhou Ziyang for responsibility, he has not pointed out and was happy to be idle.

Of course it is impossible to be idle. The current stock market is changing and it is still in a period of rising storm. Although the general development trend has been determined, the situation is much more complicated when it comes to each stock. He cannot find the bull stocks that have been soaring all the way every time. However, after the last incident, his attitude has been much more correct and cautious. Adhering to the principle of making big profits and losing small losses, he took action several times. Although he did not catch the bull stocks that had soared, he also made quite a lot of gains.

Now Zuo Qiu is studying, rehearsing, stock trading and handling company affairs, and has increased his reading efforts. When he is free these days, he has been reading various posts online and has understood a truth: how big a person’s heart is, his horizons are not necessarily too big, because a person’s vision and insight are also influenced by his own knowledge. The real society is not those utopias that are fictional in his mind, and the continent of another world is not allowed to imagine. It has its own set of rules! When you are struggling in society, you do not have to strictly abide by these rules, but you must have some understanding of these rules! This requires you to read, read and think more!

Zuo Qiu has just read a lot of things, but unfortunately they are all YY novels. They lack a lot of cognition in dealing with people, interpersonal relationships, business market ups and downs, and official careers. In the end, this society is still composed by one person. If you want to accomplish something, you must have some understanding of people. The more thorough you understand, the greater your chances of success!

Take stock trading as an example. Zuo Qiucai has more than 100,000 yuan in capital now, but compared to those institutional investors and big investors, it is still not worth mentioning. He is still a small retail investor who is snatching food from the mouth of the market maker. As a retail investor, you must have the awareness of being a retail investor, that is, you can only try to figure out the market maker's mind. The market maker is also a human being, but he only takes the initiative in the process of stock trading. If you have enough understanding of people's hearts and nature, and with some relevant information, it is not difficult to infer the usual methods of market maker's speculation.

Zuo Qiucai saw in a post that Peter Lynch, a stock genius on Wall Street in the United States, advised retail investors: stock investment is an art rather than a science. A person who has received strict quantitative education often has greater disadvantages when investing. Buying stocks depends on "human grace and insight into the world". Lynch first wants to tell retail investors one of the investment rules: never believe any suggestions from investment experts! After Zuo Qiucai read this article, he found a book written by Lynch in the library, and he really found a book called "Get Rich by Learning". In the book, he emphasized the importance of learning to people, especially the importance of successful investment. Lynch himself is a person who prefers liberal arts. He received education in business school.

At that time, I studied history, psychology and politics, metaphysics, epistemology, logic, religion and ancient Greek philosophy. Speaking of which, these things have nothing to do with economic investment, but learning these can make a person's mind more mature and cultivate a person's independent personality! Lynch believes that the ability to make money by trading stocks is: patience, independent spirit, basic common sense, patience with pain, frankness, transcendence, perseverance, flexible mind, proactive acknowledge mistakes, and not being affected by others' panic; the ability to make decisions when information is incomplete; it can resist many abilities such as your weaknesses in human nature, among which the basic common sense of stocks only accounts for one part!

Zuo Qiu was very inspired after reading this book. Although he had not learned so much about technical analysis before, it was because he knew that in terms of his mathematical and logical analysis skills, it would be useless to learn it, but he also believed that it would be impossible to be a successful securities investor without understanding technical analysis. However, after reading Lynch's book, he completely ignored his disadvantages in technical analysis. Although he did not study religious and philosophy like Lynch, he still had a lot of knowledge about Chinese classical culture. The 5,000-year-old civilization of China is no worse than any civilization in this world!

As a retail investor, if you want to win in the stock market, you have to fight wits and courage with the big dealers and courageous people! Although Zuo Qiucai has not had much experience in life, he has gone through the test of life and death. After thinking about what he wants to do in this life, he will not lose to anyone in terms of courage, and he does not lack the courage to fight with others. Now the shortest item is in terms of wisdom in being a human being. However, he has no big concern about this because he has a good teacher!

Now every three or two days, he has to sit at Mr. Dang’s house, chat with him, play chess, learn some life experience, and eat and drink.

Mr. Dang actually didn't give him too much, but just gave him a passage: "The best is like water. Water is good at benefiting all things without fighting, and is in the way that people hate, so it is almost like Tao. Living in a good place, being kind in abundance, being kind in abundance, being kind in good faith, being good in politics, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs." This passage comes from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching". Mr. Dang actually wanted to tell Zuo Qiucai the middle sentence, " Living in a good place, being kind in good in good affairs, being kind in good in good affairs, being good in good affairs, being good in good affairs." It is to say: Be as humble as water when dealing with people; being as deep as water; being kind in friendships as water; speaking with people as sincere and trustworthy as water; being in abundance as water; doing things as smooth as water; acting as timely as water!

Zuo Qiu had just learned this passage repeatedly. On a night when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly realized his enlightenment. He used this sentence as his motto, wrote it on paper, and posted it on the head of the bed. He had to recite it silently several times every day. Every time he recited it, he had an additional dialysis in his heart!
