Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 216 Jim's Future

After leaving Peter Lynch, Carter went to Jim Rogers without stopping.

This time, Carter didn't bring Liklis with him, and after giving her five hundred dollars to arrange the afternoon, Carter followed the address Julian gave and knocked on the door of Jim's house.

"Carter, you're here just in time, how about you come and taste my roast meat?"

Walking into Jim's house, Carter was immediately taken to the backyard by Jim.A grill is full of meat skewers, and next to it is the bottle of Chinese liquor that I gave to the other party last year.

"It's just right, let's eat some skewers and drink some wine later. This person, he can only enjoy the beauty of life if he is free!"

"Hehe, I agree with you. Hey, what about your wife and children? It's work, have you gone to school?"

Carter nodded with a smile, and also put the gift he brought with him on the dining table in the backyard, and asked casually.When passing through the house just now, the whole small villa seemed very silent.

"I have had two failed marriage experiences. Maybe I am a lone star. Sometimes it's good to think about being alone. You can go wherever you want, and you can leave at any time. Don't mention this, let's taste it first. Like? Do you need some more seasoning?"

Jim shrugged, and there was no decadence on his expression, but his tone was a little sour.Love has failed, and now even the friendship with Soros for more than ten years has failed.
"The taste is just right, very good! Great craftsmanship, and should I say it, I am familiar with the taste of this barbecue, it seems to be the taste of the south, you can't prepare it for me, right?"

Taking a bite of the meat skewer in his hand, Carter opened the bottle of white wine while talking.Then he stood up and planned to go to the kitchen to get a glass of wine:
"Jim, do you have any beverages in your refrigerator? The alcohol content of Chinese liquor is not low. If you drink too much at noon, our happy hour in the afternoon will be gone!"

"Yes, you can just get it yourself, and you can take whatever you like to drink! Yesterday I heard from Zhu Li that you would come over, and I just went to the supermarket to replenish a lot of stock. Hey, this wine smells so strange"

Jim's voice came into the empty house, a little low.On the other side, Carter returned to the backyard with two bottles of juice and two wine glasses, only to hear Jim continue:

"I didn't prepare this for your taste. I was born in Baltimore, but I grew up in Alabama. I haven't eaten it in a long time since I went to Yale. This is what I remember The taste of the rice, but my level is limited, not as good as my father's baking!"

"It's already great! I'm serious, and you may not believe it when I say it, kebabs with a little wine, this is also the taste in my memory"

Putting down the wine glass and drink, Carter picked up two skewers and walked to Jim who was grilling.After handing the other party a string, he said with a smile.It's just that in Carter's memory, skewers are usually served with beer, but Jim has already taken out liquor, so he doesn't mind.

"What are you kidding? You're only a little older, so you just remember the taste?"

After accepting the meat skewers from Carter, Jim only thought that Carter was pretending to be old-fashioned.Just looking at Carter's serious face, it doesn't look like a fake at all.
Great acting!

"Did you just come over from Lynch?"

"Yes, I just went to Fidelity. The original owner of this bottle of wine encountered a little trouble. I interrupted Mr. Lynch when I was helping out. I will thank you this time."

"Very good, the Magellan Fund has performed well this year! How is it? My recommendation last year was correct, right? Don't look at its original performance, but that has nothing to do with Lynch."

Jim chuckled, while flipping the meat skewers on the grill, while chewing the roast meat in his mouth, he said vaguely.

"Haha, your vision, Julius often praises in my ears. Is it wrong to say that you are the best market analyst he has ever seen in his life? Besides, this year's Quantum Fund performed better ?”

"Sorry, I don't think I should mention this"

"It's nothing, you don't have to apologize. George and I just have a conflict of ideas, which has nothing to do with friendship. I always think that it is nonsense to say that we are good people in our line of work."

Shrugging indifferently, and giving Carter a reassuring look, Jim's eyes suddenly became a little out of focus.

"How many companies go bankrupt every year due to financial market fluctuations, how many entrepreneurs jump off buildings because of financial markets, how many people lose their jobs because of financial markets, and how many people struggle to make ends meet."

"I don't know, no one can know, but all of us know that this amount is very large. In fact, since George and I have earned enough wealth for food and clothing, I often think, you say we pursue wealth What's the point of that?"

"My current personal wealth is already the wealth that an ordinary middle class can create without eating or drinking for 2000 years. Then let alone you, let alone George and the others. Even if we stop here, even if we add currency Inflation factor, we are also enough to live a very rich life."

"Hey, what you said, isn't it that you plan to retire and hide your achievements and fame?"

These words of Rogers seem to have a bit of a philosophical flavor in them.Carter has always been unwilling to think deeply about this kind of complicated problem, because sometimes he himself can't figure out why he is doing everything he is doing now.
Don't want to waste this chance of rebirth?Or a life of abundance?

Carter felt that he had changed. If it was only for these things, then with the huge profit of gold.He only needs to pay off the debt, and then take the money back to the country.
80 to 80 million US dollars in [-] years, what is the concept? !According to the black market exchange rate, a full two to three hundred million yuan.This is still [-]-[-] million in [-]. In the era when [-]-yuan households were very popular, [-] million in cash, just buy land, don’t think about anything, don’t care about anything
What Shenzhen, Shanghai, BJ, Guangzhou, just buy!No matter how many rings he bought, these lands could bring him amazing wealth in the future.At the very least, what the previous life envied, such as supercars blowing up the streets, and young models in clubs, are all things that are readily available, and there is almost no risk.

But the fact now is that he is still tossing poorly on this one-third of an acre of land in the United States.Carter sometimes doesn't know what he is thinking.
"How is it possible? I'm not yet forty, and I haven't passed half of my life. If I retire here, my life will be too boring."

"Then what do you think next?"

"Continue to invest. I have been in this industry for more than ten years. At this time, you want me to change my family. How can I do it! Moreover, I have to admit that making money is an addictive thing. Even if you know that no amount of wealth can give you The quality of your life has changed, but whenever you see your wealth and the string of numbers increase, the dopamine in your body will accelerate the secretion. That sense of accomplishment and satisfaction is more addictive than big things .”

Jim chuckled, put a bunch of kebabs in his hand into the tray at hand, and continued:

"It's just that compared to the past, I may be more casual in the future. I will no longer work for any organization, and I don't have to leave early and return late. I will be an independent investor, invest, and travel by the way. Or invest while traveling. Take it as fun! The world is so big, I want to see everywhere when I am young.”
