I keep saying that we Chinese have no faith, how can it be?
For us, making money is one of the strongest beliefs at the moment.
There are two ideas about making money, one is to grab the cake in other people's hands, which is predatory money, and the other is to make the cake bigger and then divide the cake, which is constructive to make money.
Grabbing cakes has been around since ancient times, and it is also one of the fastest ways to get money.
The grassland people come to fight the autumn wind at every turn, and the various forms of plundering by the upper class to the lower class are actually the same, the former is the same as hunting, playing a wave of autumn wind and then raising it for a few years, and the latter is captive plunder, raising it and harvesting it regularly.
In today's civilized society, this barbaric way of plundering certainly does not exist, but the road of plunder has never been broken.
For example, the rent-seeking style of power to make money is essentially a kind of wealth "transfer", that is, a plunder.
Another example is that some business cakes are so big, back and forth from your plate to mine, which is essentially a kind of plunder.
There is also **, or finance itself is a kind of plunder, the confrontation between the expectations of the buyer and the seller, buy and leave, open!The money went from the wrong guess to the right one.
The rules of predation are the rules of the financial markets.
The other way is to divide the cake, everyone makes the cake together, and this cake is what is valuable to others, to society, and then monetize these values - money.
Making cakes is essentially innovation.
And dividing the cake is its own role in the process of making cakes, whether it is a screw, a production line, or a processing plant
Screws are easy to understand, each of us is playing the role of screws in the process of moving bricks, and screws in different positions can be divided into different amounts of screw slag.
What about the production line?The production line is a screw, using the lever of labor - management.
If you lead a team of 10 people and complete a cake that can only be made by 20 people, you are eligible to get a piece of the cake for an extra 9 people, which is the management lever.
Of course, now that the production line is intelligent, people don't necessarily use team leverage, but also use Internet leverage, use AI, and use various tools to complete the cake that can be made by 20 people, 30 people, or even 100 people.
The tools on the Internet don't divide the cake, you just pay them the electricity bill, or pay a fee, and the rest of the cake is yours.
As for the processing plant, then you have to use capital leverage, you have to use money to make money, use money to buy raw materials, make more cakes, and then distribute some to the screws, leaving some feedback to the capital, and the rest is your own.
Most of the time when we talk about making money, we are talking about the second way, which is to work hard, get promoted and raise, and then go to innovation to start a business and make a lot of money.
But in this road, most of them are screws, and there are very few who have achieved great things through innovation.
On the contrary, in the first line of plunder, there is still a steady stream of wealth myths, so-and-so became a multimillionaire overnight, and so-and-so encountered a good opportunity, bet on a right investment, and achieve the pinnacle of life in minutes.
Therefore, making money is not earned slowly over a lifetime, but after identifying an opportunity, it takes 3 to 5 years, eliminating all chores, and earning enough money for a lifetime.
And then while doing ordinary things, while exploring other new things, repeating the process, to see if there is a chance to make enough money for the next life - no, it will not be too bad, everyone will fight once or twice in their life.
