Chapter 215 Jim's Future

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

This time, Carter did not take Licris with him. After giving her five hundred dollars and letting her arrange her own time in 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 try my roasted meat?"

Entering Jim's house, Carter was immediately taken to the backyard by Jim. An oven was filled with meat skewers, and next to it was the bottle of Chinese liquor that he gave to him last year.

"That's right. Let's eat some skewers and drink some wine later. This guy can only enjoy the beauty of life when he's free!"

"Haha, I agree with you. Hey, where are your wife and children? Are they working or going to school?"

Carter smiled and nodded. He also placed the gift he brought casually at the dining table in the backyard and asked casually. When he just passed through the house, the entire small villa seemed very quiet.

"I have had two failed marriages. Maybe it's because of the evil star. Sometimes it's good to think about being alone. You can go wherever you want to go. You can leave at any time. Let's not mention this. Let's taste it first.

Like? Do you need any more seasoning?"

Jim shrugged. There was no sign of decadence on his expression, but his tone was a bit sour. Love failed, and now even the friendship with Soros for more than ten years has...

"The taste is just right, very good! Great craftsmanship, and besides, I am very familiar with the taste of this barbecue. It seems to be the taste of the south. Isn't this something you prepared specially for me?"

After taking a bite of the meat skewers in his hand, Carter opened the bottle of white wine as he spoke. Then he stood up and planned to go to the kitchen to get a wine glass:

"Jim, do you have any drinks in the refrigerator? The content of Chinese liquor is quite high. If you drink too much at noon, our happy hour in the afternoon will be gone!"

"Yes, you can just go and get it yourself. You can get whatever you like to drink! Yesterday, I heard from Julie that you were coming over. I just went to the supermarket to replenish a lot of stock. Oh, this wine... has such a strange taste...

.”

Jim's voice sounded a little low when it entered the empty house. 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 spent my childhood in Alabama. I haven't had it in a long time since I went to Yale. This is my memory.

It tastes great, but my skills are limited and I can’t bake it as deliciously as my father!”

"It's already great! I'm serious, and... you may not believe it, but kebabs and wine are the same as the taste in my memory..."

Putting down his glass and drink, Carter picked up two meat skewers and walked to Jim who was grilling meat. After handing the other a skewer, he said with a smile. But in Carter's memory, skewers are usually paired with beer, but Jim had already taken

I don't mind if the liquor comes out.

"Are you kidding me? You're only a little older and you already remember the taste?"

Taking the meat skewers from Carter, Jim just thought Carter was pretending to be mature. But looking at Carter's serious face, it didn't look like he was pretending at all...

What a great acting!

"Did you just come from Lynch?"

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

"Very good, Magellan Fund has performed well this year! How about 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, flipping the meat skewers on the oven, chewing the meat in his mouth, and said in a somewhat coquettish way.

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

?”

"Sorry, it seems I shouldn't mention this..."

"It's nothing, you don't need to apologize. George and I just have a conflict of ideas, and it has nothing to do with friendship. I have always believed that it is nonsense for people in our field to say they are good people."

After shrugging indifferently and giving Carter a relieved look, Jim's eyes suddenly became a little unfocused.

"How many companies go bankrupt every year due to financial market fluctuations, how many entrepreneurs jump off their buildings because of the financial market, how many people lose their jobs because of the financial market, how many people live in poverty in Hukou..."

"I don't know, no one can know, but all of us know that this amount is very huge. In fact, ever since George and I earned enough wealth to live on, I have often been thinking about you saying that we pursue wealth.

What’s the point of it?”

"My current personal wealth is already the wealth that an ordinary middle-class person can create after 2,000 years of hard work without food or water. Let alone you, let alone George and the others. Even if we stop here and add inflation

factors, we can live a very prosperous life.”

"Hey, what you said is that you are planning to retire and hide your achievements and fame, right?"

Rogers' words seem to have a bit of a philosophical flavor in them. This kind of complex issue has always been something Carter has been unwilling to think deeply about, because sometimes he himself is not sure why...

Don’t want to waste this opportunity to be reborn? Or live a prosperous life?

Carter felt that he had changed. If it was just for these, then after making a large profit from gold, he only needed to pay off the debt and return to the country with the money...

What is the concept of 20 to 30 million US dollars in 1980?! According to the black market exchange rate, it is a full 230 million yuan. This is still 200 to 300 million yuan in 1980. In an era when households with 10,000 yuan were very popular, 300 million yuan in cash

, buy the land directly, don’t think about anything, don’t worry about anything...

Shenzhen, Shanghai, BJ, Guangzhou, buy whatever you want! No matter how many links you buy, these places will bring him amazing wealth in the future. At least the ones he envied in his previous life, such as supercars bombing the streets and young models in clubs, are all

It's something that's readily available and has almost no risk.

But the fact now is that he is still struggling in this third acre of land in the United States. Sometimes Carter himself doesn't understand what he is thinking...

"How is that possible? I'm not yet forty, and I haven't even passed half of my life. If I just retire, my life will be too boring."

"Then what's your next idea?"

"Let's continue investing. I have been in this industry for more than ten years. Now you want me to change my career. How can I do it? Moreover, I have to admit that making money is an addictive thing. Even if you know that no matter how much wealth you have, you can't give it to me.

Your life has brought about changes in quality, but every time you see your wealth and the series of numbers increasing, the dopamine in your body will be secreted faster. That sense of accomplishment, satisfaction... is better than anything big

Addictive..."

Jim chuckled, put a handful 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 institution and be an independent investor, making investments and traveling. Or while traveling, I will make investments and treat it as fun.

Come on! The world is so big, and I want to see everywhere while I’m young..."
