The Internet age makes it easy for people to get information, but it is not enough for a person who wants to turn information into wealth. The biggest feature of information is timeliness. If you want to find opportunities to change yourself from information, you must master first-hand information.
Reading the biographies of successful people, we will find that the turning point of their lives is often related to some accidental events, and what changes them is often some inside information that is inadvertently obtained. In the securities investment field of Taiwan Province, Yang's name is almost unknown. Being able to hire Yang Yaoyu as a broker represents the double growth of wealth, and also represents the ability to move forward safely in the ups and downs of the stock market, which is almost the common sense of many investors in Taiwan Province Province. In a TV talk show, Yang recalled his road to success. He said frankly, "I was just a rural child from the south of Taiwan Province Province. I hope I can work hard in a big city like Taipei, accumulate some wealth and return to the countryside to live a good life. But later, I found that although hard work is necessary, hard work alone is not enough. You have to have more things, including the source of information. "
Yang, who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, said: "I don't need a job now, just work as a financial consultant for a few friends." Many people may be surprised that I have today's status, but I am not surprised at all, because this is not a pie falling from the sky, but the result of my efforts. In any field, I have hundreds of friends, who are my operators in various industries, and report all kinds of information for me at any time, so that I can judge the economic trend. Sometimes, a phone call from a friend is better than a dozen research reports. "
Coincidentally, Porter, a famous French fund investor, is also a person who is good at exerting the function of information to the extreme.
Porter 1955 was born in France. He studied at Oxford University in his early years, but his major was diplomacy. After graduation, Porter entered the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was sent to England. During the 10 years when Porter worked in Britain, he accumulated rich interpersonal resources in politics, which laid a solid foundation for him to enter the financial and investment circles in the future.
From 65438 to 0990, Potter entered the financial industry through a friend's introduction. I worked as an investment analyst for several years and moved to an asset investment management company. At first, I worked as an investment research assistant, and later I was promoted to a fund manager and began to manage funds independently.
Porter's investment skill is to seek opportunities for capital growth by predicting policy changes, and it has not changed from beginning to end. Because he has established good personal relations with most government officials, it is easy to predict policy changes.
In the mid-1990s, Porter began to manage French trust funds. Porter is particularly interested in the French market, because as far as investment is concerned, this market is not as mature as the British market and is more influenced by policies. The key is that he has a wider range of industry resources in France, so there are a lot of opportunities, so this is a very attractive market for investors like Porter.
Once, he called his friends in China, and they told him that the government might introduce some laws and regulations on energy. As a result, he immediately vigorously bought relevant stocks in the industry and earned millions in just a few days. By the end of 2005 before Porter left office, the cumulative rate of return of the funds he managed was as high as 120 times. In other words, if you raised120,000 yuan to invest in Potter's fund in 1990, you will get120,000 yuan by the end of 2005.
It can be seen that the more and more accurate information you get, the more opportunities you have to make money.
Recently, the media reported such a news:
The work of market analysts has been paid more and more attention by enterprises. Not only securities companies and fund companies have a large number of industry researchers, but even slightly larger enterprises have their own full-time researchers. With the increase of attention, the salary of the industry has also risen. Taking the steel industry as an example, it is normal for some senior market researchers to get hundreds of thousands of annual salary.
So, what kind of person can be a market analyst?
Manager Zhang, who is in charge of recruitment, revealed that academic qualifications are not important, and even professional analysis ability is not important. The key is to have industry resources. Because if you have rich industry resources, it will be very easy to collect information.
Since 1990s, some domestic iron and steel enterprises and government personnel have become the key targets of foreign mining enterprises. It is these local employees who are well versed in China's iron and steel industry who have advantages in language and information that make foreign mining enterprises know more about China's iron and steel industry than iron and steel enterprises.
Wang Yu is a market analyst in the steel industry. His main job is to pick up the phone and chat with acquaintances one by one-exchange industry information and then write the information into a report. Of course, he will also visit steel enterprises all over the country from time to time, but this is also inseparable from the accumulation of industry resources.
Wang Yu said: "Everything is inseparable from human resources. For example, if you visit a steel mill, if you don't have your own people, you can't get the production status of the steel mill, the start of the production line, the production cost and the production plan for next month, even if you get it. "
The reporter asked: "What if the resources are insufficient?"
Wang Yu said: "It can only be accumulated slowly, which is better for people like me, because several years of work experience have accumulated some industry resources. If you are a novice, it will certainly be difficult to do it in the first year or two, but after a long time and more people you know, things will be much easier. Now I have basically established a stable relationship with most steel mills, so my work has gradually become easier. Sometimes the boss wants to know the data of a steel mill, and I can ask it with a phone call. "
The traditional social concept has always believed that "no pains, no gains", and one has to rely on one's hard work in exchange for food. It is unrealistic to rely on only one news to "fly to the branches and become a phoenix". However, the mode of modern society has changed, and "get rich first and then get together" has become a universally recognized social rule. So, stop complaining about your bad luck. All the information that can change your destiny is in the hands of your friends. Develop quickly, and let them bring you unlimited wealth!
