The landlord tells you a word: "Don't cook by yourself, hire a chef".
There are only two channels for individuals to acquire wealth: selling resources or mastering capital
1. An ordinary person: the resources he can sell = his own time+brain power+physical strength+(appearance)+risk, so ordinary people can only find a company to work and sell their own resources in exchange for wealth. However, everyone can sell the same resources, the same time and the same physical strength. In order to sell their own resources at a good price, they can only improve their mental resources. A common practice is reading, which is why parents want their children to study hard. Why do graduates of Tsinghua Peking University generally have higher starting salaries than those without education? But now the price difference of brain resources brought by diplomas is getting smaller and smaller. There is no essential difference between an ordinary one-year student and two-year students. On the contrary, the added value is not as high as that of a good person who studies excavators in Lan Xiang. This is because the number of the former is large and the number of the latter is small, and the supply-demand relationship determines the price. Therefore, if you are just an ordinary person, you can either gain high brain value through a diploma or gain your own brain added value through being good at thinking, being a person and doing things. In addition, some people also have a resource, that is, appearance. If they are good-looking, outstanding people can enter the entertainment circle, and generally, they can get a lot of extra wealth in their daily marriage, work and life. However, the appearance can only be slightly improved, and it cannot be fundamentally changed. Wang Baoqiang can't surpass Andy Lau in appearance even with fitness+maintenance+professional styling design, so he is a fool and Andy is a thief. However, appearance is not necessarily the more beautiful the better. The appearance characteristics of Wang Baoqiang and Bo Huang are also an indispensable part of their success. All ordinary workers, white-collar workers, professional managers, and even Tang Jun, the "working emperor" of that year, are all such people. Stars are also such people. The characteristic of this kind of people is that their wealth is limited: a lot of stars in "bosom friend" are sad to work three jobs to support their relatives, and professional managers earn a lot, and the retired stars are not as good as ordinary people. Of course, there is the last one that has not been mentioned, that is, the risk of selling. If you are willing to take the risk of imprisonment and death, steal, rob and cheat, such as mixing triad societies, opening casinos, opening pornographic websites, and conducting online fraud, the wealth you gain will also increase, but the risks you take will also increase. In a popular saying in Zhihu, "all the ways to make money are written in the criminal law".
2. Individuals with resources: resources that can be sold = resources that they naturally have. For example, if someone lives in a gold mine and digs it for others, they can exchange it for wealth (this is not the case in China, the resources in the sky, underground and water belong to the state, and thymelaeaceae buried in your backyard will be turned over to the state if you sell the money); Another example is that someone who lives in a broken yard in the city center is born with the resources of location, and as long as they are demolished, they can get a lot of wealth; Another example is that a person was born as the son of a celebrity, and the media attention he was born with is his resource; Or when someone becomes a leader through hard work, the power in his hand is the resources that he can sell (almost all the acts of selling the power given by a third party are illegal), including the power that the state gives some state-owned enterprises to monopolize some resources, such as the right to exploit coal and oil, the right to operate taxis, etc. Officials, coal bosses in those days and nouveau riche in demolition now all belong to this category. This kind of wealth, can be met but not sought, can only rely on luck. The characteristic of this kind of people is that the amount of wealth they get depends on the amount of resources they have: once the coal mine is lit, there will be no income, and once the officials retire, they will no longer be able to get wealth.
3. Capitalist: What kind of society is the United States (think about China) actually? Many people will say capitalism, so why is it called "capitalism"? Why not call it "inequality" or "own marketism"? Because in such a society, "capital" is the standard to measure and decide everything. In ancient China, it was useless for you to be rich. Officials could copy your property at any time. If you have money, you should pay bribes to power and buy officials. And as long as you have the power, even if you are penniless, you can live a rich life and eat and drink, so it was the official standard at that time. In today's society, no matter what your power is, you still have to find a way to change your power into money to be effective. The director with a monthly income of 5,111 won't make room for you in the crowded bus, but as long as you are willing to pay, Cayenne will come to pick you up and the driver will run down to open the door for you. A certain company once said that it never does research and development, and let those small companies in the market do it. If they succeed, they will spend money to buy it. If they don't sell it, they will spend money to dig up several cores of this company. This is capitalism. (Of course, ignoring intellectual property rights is problematic, and the correct way is to spend money to buy it.) If you have a capital of 1 billion yuan, you can spend 11 million to hire the smartest people in this country, and turn your capital from 1 billion to 211 million, and you will earn 91 million in bed. And all this, just because you have capital, you don't need to be smart, you don't need to have strength, you don't need to spend time, you don't need to be beautiful.
The subject's question: "Why is there a huge difference in the money earned between people?" The third person earns more than the second person, and the second person earns more than the zero person. However, there are no pure things in the world. There are few pure people like migrant workers and pure people like Ma Yun today. Many people have the above mixed characteristics. Because China eliminated the capitalists after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are very few people born with capital in China, and most of the third people have evolved from the 1 th person or the 2 nd person. For example, Ma Yun evolved from the 1 th person to the 3 rd person. Although this evolution is getting more and more difficult at present, it is not hopeless, because it will be more difficult in the future. This is the solidification of classes and the reduction of inter-class mobility. The method of evolving from the 1 th person to the 3 rd person is the method that everyone is desperately exploring. Some people succeed and some people fail. There are only two reasons: how smart your mind is+how much capital you have accumulated. You have thought of an idea that can improve your mobile phone, and you think this idea can make a lot of money. Then you have to ask yourself, do you have the funds to run this idea? The same idea, Samsung Huawei can control more funds, hire better engineers and promote it better. Are you sure you don't want to reward these capital owners? Or is it heading for a dead end that countless people have gone through? For example, if you do software development, will the angel ask you a word: "What will you do if you hear a fake?" Go better. You want to open a Taobao shop. Do you have the capital to promote it? To press the goods? If you sell one on Taobao and buy one on Alibaba, either you can't sell it at all. If you can sell it, those more powerful sellers will pk you off with the same product in minutes. At the same time, it also answers another question: there are thousands of ways to make money, why do you choose to work in the factory? -Life. The answer is: What can you do if you don't work? You think you can make money by doing something else? A few years ago, I scoffed at the fact that online crazy delivery made a lot of money. It is impossible for this industry without a threshold to make much money. You are willing to earn 11,111 yuan to do this, I will find one who earns 9,111 yuan in minutes, and I will find another one who earns 8,111 yuan, believe it or not. Finally, whether you send a courier or set up a stall, whether you sell Chinese buns or engage in it, you will be pulled to a threshold of average income. Because IT needs to learn and earn more; Express delivery is harder, earning less than IT, but still more than cleaning, that's all.
so how did you evolve from the 1 th person to the 3 rd person? The first step is to accumulate capital, whether you are willing to work or make your own products (some people think they are starting a business), and complete the capital accumulation first. This is the most important step, and it's time to give full play to everyone's imagination and strength, such as setting up stalls, opening Taobao, making websites, making apps, speculating in stocks, purchasing overseas, opening design studios, selling Chinese buns, taking photos of kindergartens in Zhihu, and so on. There is no best but better. In a word, this step is to sell your personal resources, depending on whether you sell or not. Learn more, even if it's not for the diploma. How hard it is, as long as it's not selling health.
the second step is to make good use of capital and make money with it. How to make money with capital? Ask you a question and you will understand. If you open a small restaurant in your family, you can earn 1 million yuan a month, but you need a chef. You have a high level of cooking. If you are a chef, the hotel will make a net profit of 11,111 yuan per month. If you hire a chef, it will cost 8 thousand yuan a month and the hotel will make a net profit of 2 thousand yuan. How do you choose?
answer: hire a chef! In this way, as long as you can use a loan with interest of 1,111 yuan per month and buy another hotel, that hotel can also make a net profit of 1,111 yuan. (Supplement: This restaurant earns 2,111 yuan, with interest of 1,111 yuan and net profit of 1,111 yuan. Please don't leave me any messages if you are not good at math, okay? Zhihu is on the same level as Weibo.). And you, who only need to set aside 111 hotels like this, can make a net profit of one million every month, but at this time, you are traveling abroad and become the third kind of person. Many people have been working, and it is easy to understand that they have not become the third kind of people. However, after the reform and opening up, many people still have no money, just because they are cooks themselves, their sisters are waiters, and their mothers are in charge of cashier, that's all. Jing M.Guo stopped writing books and invested in making movies. He changed from cooking to being a shopkeeper, so Han Han said, "One month's income in Jing M.Guo is equal to one year's income.". Therefore, asking yourself how to become the third kind of person in the future is just one sentence: "Don't cook by yourself, hire a chef"
Supplement 1: This example just wants to express a point qualitatively: if you can earn 1 yuan with capital, it is more in line with financial thinking than selling your physical strength to earn 111 yuan.
However, this article is not about teaching you how to open a hotel, where to finance, what is your financing cost, whether the hotel can make a profit, the rising operating cost after the hotel expansion and the poor management of professional managers. Ask an expert. Do you want me to write a business plan for you?
If you really want to open a restaurant and let your mother manage the restaurant, it will not only save the cost, but also solve the employment problem of your family. There is no professional manager fraud, and obviously you can complete the capital accumulation faster. Or you are willing to adopt family management to achieve higher management efficiency after you grow up, which the author agrees with, but these are not the things to be said in this article.
Supplement 2:
In addition, if you only have one of them, remember to find people who only have the other one to cooperate with, and they are waiting for you!
and even people of the same type have different wealth. People who also sell their own labor or have the same capital have different mental and physical efforts and different gains. That is to say, two identical wage earners/Wang Sicong, one who thinks hard and is willing to work hard, and the other who plays games and sleeps all day, the former still has more wealth than the latter. However, compared with Wang Sicong who plays games and sleeps, smart and hard-working wage earners just add to their lives.
Supplement 3:
Primitive accumulation is the most difficult, and few primitive accumulations are not bloody. Many friends left more than 13,111 comments, but they couldn't reply to them one by one, but one comment impressed them the most:
"Another doctor who didn't prescribe medicine".
hit the nail on the head. Because making money is a paradox, because in economics, except monopoly (note that monopoly in common sense is different from monopoly in the economic sense), the equilibrium state of all enterprises is zero profit (in the economic sense).
therefore, any way to make money must be unbalanced. The important reason for the imbalance is information asymmetry. To put it more popularly, a way is very profitable. If more people know it, they will all squeeze through, and they will not make money.
In the 1981s, a famous person, unable to find a job, had no choice but to take a camera to take pictures at the gate of the park. Unexpectedly, on the first day, I carried a sack of money home, and there were tens of thousands of dollars. I stepped into ten thousand households overnight, earning more than my parents with a salary of one hundred dollars a year. However, what now?
Therefore, it is not reliable to give a way. If there is a way, I will definitely go on my own. If I have no energy, I will continue to participate in a company. But the world is big enough for everyone who wants to make money. As long as the methodology is passed, you can apply it to your own small circle and focus on a small vertical field, and you will also make big money.
