Film Review of "Winning 21 Points"

? On the morning of Monday, July 6th, a very rare meeting was held in the conference room on the second floor of our Bayi Road Sales Department. The keynote speaker of the meeting was a private equity fund boss, Mr. Zhou. He and his team gave a morning training and exchange to the consultants and account managers of our sales department. During the meeting, Mr. Zhou introduced that he had studied casino management abroad and then engaged in securities in China. After many years of work, he found that the customers faced by securities and casinos are very similar, so he told us some work experiences and his own success factors in combination with casino management and securities customer solicitation, which benefited us a lot. Finally, Mr. Zhou recommended three films to all the people present, one of which was The Capture of Las Vegas.

? On the afternoon of July 8, our marketing department and colleagues from the investment department watched and learned the movie "Capturing Las Vegas" recommended by private equity fund Big Brother Week in the conference room. Las Vegas is a gambling city in the United States. Because of the "blackjack" game played in the film, the film also has a name called "Decisive Blackjack". Blackjack is a crime movie directed by robert luketic and starring jim sturgess, kevinspacey fowler and kate bosworth. The film tells the story of several mathematical geniuses who made a scene in Las Vegas with their intelligence. The film was released in the United States on March 28th, 28.

? The plot of "Decisive Blackjack" is probably like this: Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) has amazing talent. As a high flyers of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, his studies are impeccable, and he won the admission notice of Harvard Medical School without any surprise. However, the high tuition and living expenses of 3, yuan made his college dream shaky. In the interview for scholarship, the professor told him that the winner must have a dazzling experience, not a blank student like Ben. At first, Ben worked in a clothing store and earned $8 an hour. Prepare for Competition 2.9 with two friends at the same time in order to get recognition and bonus. In math class, Ben's genius mind is discovered by professor Mickey Rosa (played by Kevin Spacey in kevinspacey fowler). Mickey hopes that Ben will join his 21 algorithm team and go to casinos to win big money by counting cards. Ben doesn't agree, but when Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth, kate bosworth), a girl whom Ben has always secretly loved, comes forward to seduce him, Ben begins to waver. So, Ben began strict training, and the success of his apprenticeship made Ben taste the power of money, vanity and desire. At the same time, he began to alienate his old friends and gradually got lost in the whirlpool of casinos. Then, Ben gained huge wealth twice and lost it twice in succession. In the end, this special life experience became BEN's most precious wealth, and he finally got the $3, scholarship he needed.

? The film vividly shows the weakness of human nature in casinos: greed and fear. Take Ben, the protagonist in the film, as an example. Ben wanted to earn $3, in tuition fees and joined the Blackjack Algorithm Team. Before he entered the casino, he was afraid that he would be caught by the casino administrator, but the extremely high income ignored him, that is $3,. But human nature is greedy, even if Ben is rational enough, he will commit the great precept of greed: after making small profits again and again, Ben finally ignored the reminder of his teammates and gambled all the gambling money and income on the gambling table for $2, in order to get more profits, and he lost this game. At this time, Ben was afraid, especially when his professor Mickey Rosa ordered Ben to pay $2,. Ben is really afraid of losing it. 2 thousand dollars is enough for two-thirds of the tuition, and it is hard-earned money. Of course, when there was greed in fear, Ben had a whim to take people alone. After being a little immature, Ben was tempted by huge interests, and other team members were willing to leave the professor and work with him temporarily. However, when Ben was in high spirits, Professor Mickey exposed Ben to casino investigator cole williams. Ben was caught, and when he was beaten and punished by Cole, Ben was really scared to the extreme. At the end of the gambling that led Professor Mickey into the casino, Ben naively believed that Cole, a casino investigator, would give himself the money earned from gambling for his own greed.

? Back to the real world, China's stock market has been rising since the second half of 214. In 215, even beggars knew that stock trading must make money, and then, the number of accounts opened continued to rise, breaking a record and then breaking a record. More investors keep pouring money into the stock market. Aren't these latecomers Ben from Blackjack? Seeing that other team members can make money by doing this, although there is a risk of being caught (investment is risky), I am somewhat afraid, but I still entered the venue anyway. The stock market is like a casino, where retail investors are gamblers and the main players are bookmakers. In this wave of bull market, the rise and fall of the company's stock has little to do with the performance, operation and value of the corresponding company, and the people nicknamed it "mad cow". Like gambling, retail investors calculate and guess according to the information they have (the casino is an algorithm), and guess which stock they think is a bull stock and buy it. In the "mad cow" stage, investors almost make a lot of money, just like Ben in and out of the casino, and the income is quite satisfactory. Later, like Ben, I felt that if I still made money as before, the investment would increase and the income would inevitably increase. As a result, the money earned in the past and the original investment cost are recalculated into the current investment principal (gambling book), putting all your eggs in one basket. Of course, a throw at this time is very confident and will win, just like Ben is full of winning heart. When you are greedy, you should keep your fear. People's reason is often extremely weak under the power of money, weakness and desire. As a result, retail investors in China are as depressed as Ben in the United States. Fortunately, Ben lost his principal and interest (in fact, Ben didn't invest at all). From June 15 to July 8, most retail investors in China lost 3%-5%, and some friends who made margin calls lost 1%. As many retail investors continue to invest the profitable investment money, resulting in a larger investment cost base, many retail investors have entered the hardest hit areas in this plunging market, and all the original profits have been retreated, and the original investment principal has been lost. On the day of the promulgation of the national rescue order, the market fell by a thousand shares for several days. Suddenly, investors were close to despair, and fear spread all over the country. Even Ben himself, after being beaten by Cole, a casino investigator, went back to school and found that all his hidden dollars had been robbed, and panic filled every pore cell of his body. However, the biggest charm of the stock market and casinos lies in their association and hope. Entering the casino, a coin may produce two, three or even more coins at the cost of time. Yes, this possibility gives people a broad imagination, and of course it is also possible to lose this coin. Another feature of casinos is that they are addicted to gambling. As long as people who have gambled, unless they get clean, there is a beast hiding in their hearts to recover their costs or make another profit. On July 9 and 1, the stock market gave all investors a big surprise: for two consecutive days, thousands of shares went up and down. Just as Cole, a casino investigator, promised Ben a quick cake: the proceeds from gambling chips obtained after introducing Professor Mickey into the casino were owned by Ben. Nowadays, it is still unknown whether the cakes obtained by investors in the past two days can enter the stomach. Anyway, all the profits Ben made in the last game of the casino were taken back by the casino.

? It is worth explaining that when investors (gamblers) are depressed and confident, they can't listen to the opposite warning. Since June 15th, our company has given its customers more than three risk warnings. Some of my own customers have completely ignored my warnings and are still full of confidence. They always feel that they are right: the index will go up, and they choose bull stocks and can outperform the broader market. In the film, after getting a small profit, Ben put all his eggs in one basket, regardless of his teammates' reminders, and finally lost all the costs. I hope that all investors can strengthen their awareness of investment risks and increase their trust in our securities firms and their rational control after experiencing the education of this plunge.

? "Investment is risky, please be cautious when entering the market" is not an empty talk. This sentence reminds us that risks always exist in the investment process. We should not only have a complete knowledge and understanding of the investment varieties (the gambling game "Blackjack" in the film) like Ben, but also study its operation rules and determine our own investment strategies, and we should use investment strategies in a legal and compliant manner. More importantly, we should understand that investment is only a very important part of life, and don't indulge in the power of money, vanity and desire. End
