How to enter the upper class through own efforts?
Every country has a class
Now China has entered a higher level of "capital economy" era.
What is the era of capital economy? In short, it adds a "lever" to the market economy, and the role of "lever" in physics is to use the "arm" to amplify the "force" so that it can raise a larger mass object. Economically more than this lever, its activity space and flexibility are greatly enhanced, which is also called "capital thinking ". In the future, Chinese people must deeply understand and use the tool of capital thinking.
Capital thinking
To learn "capital thinking ", we must first understand what is" capital ". Is "capital" just money? No. Capital is the "control right" of resources. It is called "capital operation" to bring more control power through resource domination. To maximize social efficiency is the social value of capital operation.
Because capital has profit-seeking and value-added, the pursuit of profit maximization. This will promote the allocation of social resources towards the direction of efficiency, efficiency maximization. Social resources will flow in turn into the most efficient countries and regions, the most efficient industries, the most efficient enterprises, the most efficient projects, the most efficient individuals. The profit of capital promotes the optimization of resources, the optimization of resources produces new capital, and constantly produces new opportunities, which expands while circulating.
At the economic level, there will be only three categories in society:
First, the resource person. They are the most direct owners of resources, living by selling their own resources, such as farmers on arable land, workers on physical strength, doctors on skills, writers on writing, teachers and lawyers, and so on.
Second, the configurator. Who is the resource is not important, the key must have the resource allocation right. Such people rely on the allocation of resources to earn money, engaged in resource input-integration-operation-output work, mainly entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs also belong to this kind.
Third, capitalists / investors. They are farthest from resources, but all resources are under their control. They only hide behind the scenes to play operational games. Venture capitalists are such people, such as Sun Zhengyi investing in Ma Yun, Alibaba listing made him a great success. Capitalists have no borders, they can control the flow of global resources; they can control a large number of other people's assets through the financial system.
Therefore, resources are nominal resources, in fact, capitalists. The key to a person's energy is how much resources he can allocate.
According to these three different nature of role play, how will individuals gain wealth in the future? There are only three channels: selling resources, allocating resources and mastering capital.
1. resource person (ordinary person)
By selling their own resources, the resource person's skills, that is, time + physical strength, which is the most distributed population in society.
So ordinary people can only find a business to work, sell their own wealth. However, ordinary people's time and physical strength are the same, they can sell the same resources, so in order to sell their resources for a good price, they can only improve their skills and proficiency.
At this point, a common practice is to read, which is why parents want their children to study well, and why graduates of Tsinghua University generally pay higher salaries than those without culture.
But now the difference in skills brought about by diplomas is getting smaller and smaller. There is no essential difference between an ordinary student and two students, but not as valuable as the good people of (An excavator training school in China) Lanxiang excavator. This is because the former is large, the latter is small, and the latter is more practical.
So, if you are just an ordinary person, either through reading to obtain higher, more rare skill value; or through love to think, will be a person, a lot of practice to improve their practical ability.
In addition, for the resource person, there are natural resources, such as appearance. Long good-looking ordinary people, can get a lot of extra wealth in daily marriage, work, life; if long good-looking plus good luck can enter the entertainment industry, become a star after their own resources become scarce resources, the price of resources is far higher than the average person!
But appearance is generally difficult to change the nature of the resource person, can only slightly improve. Wang Baoqiang A famous Chinese actor even fitness + maintenance + professional modeling design, is also unable to surpass Liu Dehua A famous Chinese actor from the appearance, so he is silly root, Andy is a thief. And appearance is not necessarily the more beautiful the better, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo's appearance characteristics are also an integral part of their success.
All ordinary workers, white-collar workers, professional managers, even to the "working emperor" Tang Jun, the stars, belong to the "resource ". Such people are characterized by limited access to wealth.
Sometimes they have worked hard all their lives, but when their families have a serious illness, they almost collapse. Some of them need three jobs to support their children and patients, which is very sad. Professional managers earn more is also a number of, too angry stars than ordinary people.
2. configurator (business owner)
This kind of person is not the direct owner of resources, they often design the allocation of resources through the brain, by optimizing resources to make money, entrepreneurs belong to this category.
The most important productive factor in slave society is "manpower ", the most important productive factor in feudal era is" land ", and the most important productive factor in capital era is "capital ". The essence of capital is the allocation of resources.
By definition, entrepreneurs are people who organize, manage and take risks in the management of resources. The entrepreneur's income is proportional to the efficiency of his allocation. But at the same time to take risks for their own allocation of resources, the lower limit is bankruptcy.
Why do many people want to start a business? Because they want to climb from the first to the second. Once upgraded from "resource person" to "allocator ", it means that we do not have to sell our own skills, but start to manage our own thoughts and wisdom. Both the person and the economy have realized freedom, thus realizing the freedom of personality.
But not all resource people are suitable for starting a business. They must have a certain culture, vision, drive, innovation, opportunities and capital. The allocator is the most important group in a society. Their quality and quantity determine the efficiency of a society's resource allocation and represent the level of productivity. The allocators need the spirit of innovation very much, so-called innovation is their control and deployment of new products, new markets, new production methods, new organizations and new sources of raw materials.
3. capitalists/investors (behind the scenes)
The wealth of this society seems to belong to the scattered resource person, but it is actually enjoyed by the allocator. But in essence, more belongs to the capitalists!
Capitalists are defined as people who operate with capital. After the second Industrial Revolution, entrepreneurs who had mastered technology and application quickly accumulated huge amounts of wealth, and their enterprises had a great impact on a country. These enterprises formed the lifeblood of the country's economy. In order to obtain high profits, enterprises manipulated and controlled the production, sale and price of goods in one or more sectors by mutual agreement or association, thus forming a monopoly, and then the "entrepreneurs" began to sit behind the scenes and manipulate all this into "capitalists ".
The biggest difference between "capitalists" and "entrepreneurs" is that capitalists do not directly participate in the management and management of enterprises, but manipulate the macro thinking of enterprises behind the scenes. The products of enterprises are all kinds of consumer goods, and the products of capitalists are all kinds of enterprises. Through the way of investment, equity, merger and acquisition, reorganization, the future of an enterprise will be controlled to their own hands, Sun Zhengyi invested in Ma Yun, completed the Alibaba, Ma Yun is an entrepreneur, and Sun Zhengyi is a capitalist. Sun Zhengyi has N Ma Yun in his hand, becoming Japan's richest man. For example, Buffett sat in his hometown to do investment manipulation of his layout, he is also a capitalist.
The United States is a free market economy, but why is it called a "capital" society? Instead of "own market doctrine" society? Because in such a society ," capital "is the standard to measure and determine everything. In ancient China, you were useless on the rich side, officials could copy your property at any time, you had money to bribe power, to buy officials. And as long as you have power, even if you have no money, the same life rich, eat and drink, so it was the official standard.
A company once said that it never does research and development, let those small companies in the market to research and development, if successful, spend money to buy, if not sell, spend money to dig up a few core of the company. This is capitalism. (Ignoring intellectual property, of course, is problematic. The right thing to do is buy it at your expense)
If you have 100 million yuan of capital, you can pay 10 million to hire the smartest people in the country, change your capital from 100 million to 200 million, and you make 90 million in bed. And all this, just because you're doing capital work, you just need to be smart and bold, not to have the strength, not to spend time, not to mention to be beautiful.
What we need to understand is that the third type makes more money than the second, and the second makes more money than the first. Therefore, the first person is trying to evolve to the second, while the second is desperately evolving to the third.
There are few people born with capital in China, most of whom have evolved from the first or second species. Although this evolution has become more and more difficult, it is not hopeless, because it will be more difficult in the future. This is the solidification of class and the reduction of class mobility.
Everyone is trying to explore ways, some people succeed, some people fail. There are only two reasons: how clever is your mind? Or how much capital do you accumulate?
You think of a idea, that can improve your phone and you think this idea can make a lot of money, so ask yourself if you have the money to run this idea? The same idea, Samsung Huawei can spend more money, hire better engineers, promote better, are you sure it's not for these capital owners? Or is it a dead end that countless people have gone through? For example, do you do software development, angel investors will ask you a sentence :" if a giant shanzhai you do ?"
You want to open an online store, do you have the capital to promote? To load the goods? If the strength is not enough, or can not sell at all, if you can sell, those more powerful sellers minutes with the same product to pk you off.
At the same time, this also answers another question: the method of making money thousands of ways, why choose "work" this kind?
The answer is: what can you do without working? You think you can make money by doing something else? A few years ago, the Internet crazy delivery of more, I scoff, this industry without barriers is impossible to earn more. You are willing to earn 10,000 to do this, I will find a minute to earn 9,000 to do, I will find another earn 8,000 you believe. Finally, whether you send express or stand, whether you sell meat in buns or IT,, you will be pulled to a threshold average income. Because IT need to learn, earn more; express more hard, earn less than IT, but still more than cleaning, that is.
So how did it evolve from the first to the third?
The first step, you have to accumulate capital, you are willing to work, willing to do their own products (some people think they are starting a business), first complete the capital accumulation. And this step is the most important, but also the time to play everyone's imagination and strength, set up stalls, open Taobao, do websites, do APP、 speculation stocks, overseas purchase, open design studios, sell meat buns, for kindergarten photography, and so on, there is no best only better. In a word, this step is to sell your personal resources, depending on whether you sell the price, learn more, even if not for the diploma; more hard, as long as it is not sold 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, you can earn 10,000 a month, but you need a cook. You have a high level of cooking. If you are a cook, the hotel earns 10,000 a month; if you hire a cook, it costs 8,000 a month and the hotel earns 2,000. How do you choose?
Answer: hire a cook! So that if you can borrow a thousand interest per month and offer the next hotel, the hotel will make a net profit of a thousand. The hotel earns two thousand, pays one thousand interest, earns one thousand net, and counts it again. And you just need 100 restaurants to make a net profit of 100000 a month, and you travel abroad and become the third person.
Many people have been working, they have not become the third kind of people, very easy to understand. But after the reform and opening up to do business, there are still a lot of people do not have money, because they do their own cook, their sister as a waiter, their mother to manage the cashier, that's all.
So, later ask yourself how to become the third kind of person, is a sentence :" Don't cook yourself, hire a cook ". If you can use capital to earn 1 yuan, it is more in line with financial thinking than selling your physical strength to earn 100 yuan.
In addition, smart and capital, if you only have one of them, remember, to find someone with only another to cooperate, they are also waiting for you!
In addition, even people with the same characteristics have different wealth. People who sell their own labor or have the same capital, their mental and physical strength is different, the income is different. That is to say, two identical wage earners or super-rich second generation, one hard thinking, willing to pay hard work, the other day playing games to sleep, the former is still more than the latter kind of wealth. But smart and hard-working wage earners always play games to sleep with the super rich second generation, is to add to their own life.
Promotion of ordinary people
At the same time, again, if you are an ordinary person, or consider yourself an ordinary person, but also motivated, it is better to be pragmatic, down-to-earth forward.
Once there was a company's public relations manager, her son is 5 years old, she has to work, do housework, take children every day. But she has a second-level interpretation certificate from the personnel department, a monthly conference translation mission, and also a mentor at the interpretation center.
Open her blog, has updated more than 500 pages, there are more than 2000 posts, all of her own daily interpretation practice articles, an average of two long and short articles a day. She has been doing it for almost 10 years, and she has been working hard because of her English hobby.
Ten years ago, she said, she saw a survey report that a person who wants to master a skill and become an expert needs to practice for 10000 hours without interruption. At that time she calculated a sum of money, if practice 5 hours a day ,300 days a year, then it will take 7 years, a person can master this skill.
She said :" fortunately, I know what skills I want to master, I just need to work immediately, I do not have five hours, I can only learn three hours a day, now nearly 10 years, I think I have almost mastered this skill ."
For example, the Beatles had already played 1,200 performances before they became famous. But why have you been a civil servant for 10 years and just a clerk? Why did you cook at home for 7 years, not become a super chef, but found marriage to 7 years itch?
That's because you do n' t have the energy and enthusiasm to practice a skill. Working every day is just reading newspapers, surfing the Internet, dealing with all kinds of trivial tasks, cooking every day just to make the family work properly, and do not look at it professionally.
Don't lament the loss of your major after college. If you start from junior high school ,12 years of school education, even if you learn a skill for 2 hours a day ,300 days a year, you have only 7200 hours, there is a 2800 hour gap; even if you practice 1 hour a day after graduation, you need 10 years.
Why are people in science and engineering more likely to succeed? As long as they graduate professional counterparts, or do that thing, then they are equal to 8 hours a day in practice. This 2800 hours, only need more than a year to fill. But many of us don't work on skills, mostly dealing with trivial people and things, in fact, wasting our lives.
Perhaps you will say, I am ordinary people, I do not want to become a family, just want to live in peace. It's just your illusion, time is passing, the actions you repeat and repeat every day are shaping you, you do n' t want to be anyone, but you are destined to be someone.
Five hours a day, if you are used to watch Korean dramas, turn over mobile phones, play games, then seven years later, you will become a bystander in life, you are best at talking about the success and failure of others, you can not find anything to say.
Take a minute to think about what you wanted to do most, and do it every day. Seven years from now, you'll find that you can go out and eat on this.
Even if you like shopping, you stipulate that you go shopping for 3 hours a day? Maybe at first you feel very happy, every day, you will find boring. Keep going, you start to think, I can find something else shopping? What else can I do? Stick to it, seven years later, you may become a fashion talent, image design experts, street photographers, clothing buyers...
