shuhaige. net Chapter 781 The Secret to Getting Rich

Zhang Mingming was made a bit embarrassed by this group of somewhat outspoken netizens.

「Cough—」

「Um, I'm a bit socially anxious, so let's stick to serious questions, otherwise I'll just shut down. »

Manager Zhang threatened them a bit, and then everyone restrained themselves a little.

At this time, bytes had not yet risen, so it happened that Zhang Mingming personally appeared.

Otherwise, given his somewhat socially anxious nature, that would absolutely not happen.

「Let's ask how to Earning Money—wealth is the foundation; with money you can have anything. »

「Yes, let's ask how to get rich. »

「I want to get rich, I want to get rich………」

Zhang Mingming received the signal and asked this crucial question on behalf of the group.

「Yang Lao, everyone wants to know, how to get rich. »

Yang Qing had already prepared.

He ran through it in his mind, then spoke up.

「Getting rich is actually a false proposition. »

「Many people might not understand what I mean by that. »

「Then I'll explain it to everyone with a simple model. »

「For example, there are five people and five mu of land. »

「How to get rich? »

「Actually, it's just how to make one's labor more valuable. »

「If everyone plants the same thing, then whoever farms will get rich. »

「Under conditions where skills are roughly equal and they plant the same crop, whoever works harder will get rich. »

「If conditions change, and the yield of one mu of grain is enough to feed two or three people, then whoever plants something that better meets current demand will get rich. »

「For example, here there is winter; previously everyone relied on their own cold resistance to get through. »

「Now if someone plants cotton, for instance half the land for grain and half for cotton. »

「And the cotton from that half mu is enough to make winter clothing for five people. »

「Then that half mu of cotton can be exchanged for the grain output of two mu of land. »

「At this point, the condition for getting rich is making the right choice. »

「Because for the same mu of land, the benefit of choice far outweighs the benefit of effort. »

「If we change the condition again, for example, if one person knows how to make fertilizer, and farm fertilizer can increase yield. »

「At this point, skill becomes the condition for getting rich. »

「If the environment changes again, with wild boars destroying crops, or someone coming to seize the crops. »

「At this point, martial strength becomes the condition for getting rich. »

「If there are no rules among these five people. »

「One person's martial strength can subdue the other four, forcing them to farm for you; this right arising from strength is the condition for getting rich. »

「If you monopolize the exchange rights—for example, grain can only be traded for cotton through you—this monopoly is the key to getting rich. »

「There are many conditions for getting rich. »

「To sum up, hard work is one. »

「Keen vision can pick the right target; choice is one. »

「Being helpful to production, or possessing a skill that protects property—this skill counts as one. »

「Having the right to command people or material counts as one. »

「Having a monopolistic trade channel—that is, trade rights—counts as one. »

「Hard work can let you create more wealth in the current environment. With the right choice, even pigs can fly. If you have ability, you'll be welcomed wherever you go—this is 'having one skill in hand, the world is yours.' What follows is actually how many people, materials, and information you can command; the wealth created by those people, materials, and information is the wealth you have made. There's no need to say more about monopoly; only if I possess certain people, materials, or scarce conditions with specific skills do I have pricing power. »

「Put simply, it's about picking the right target, striving to improve your abilities, and as much as possible making yourself possess control and pricing power. »

Zhang Mingming listened attentively; upon hearing this, he didn't look at the subtitles and just asked.

「So where does finance fit in? »

Many people also wanted to know.

Everyone knows that the true Earning Money business is actually finance.

Yang Qing did not hesitate.

「For ordinary workers, finance is actually just a kind of choice. »

「Choose right and you win; choose wrong and you lose. »

「For finance companies, they mainly exercise control over money and pricing power. »

「Usury is actually just pricing power. »

「Stocks and futures are actually a contest of control and pricing power. »

Many people had a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

However, this did not satisfy everyone's desire.

「Does doing these things guarantee getting rich? »

「I work hard, so why can't I get rich? »

「I have a PhD, but I'm delivering takeout. »

「I now understand why that thing can rake in so much money. »

But I still don't know how to get rich.

Why are so many college graduates unemployed?

After Yang Qing finished speaking, he also started reading the subtitles.

This time, without waiting for Zhang Mingming to ask, he spoke up himself.

Many people say they became unemployed in middle age, that the industry they chose is good, their skills are not bad, yet they are still unemployed.

Ask me why.

And there are subtitles, asking me if hard work always yields results?

I don't know if everyone has studied game theory.

Among these, there is the concept of a zero-sum game.

Just like in a family, if you learn to grow wheat while others don't, you will certainly be the dominator of wheat growing.

If everyone in the family learns to grow wheat, then this skill is no longer a condition for you to gain dominance.

It could be that whoever grows it best is chosen, or perhaps everyone must listen to the head of the household.

At this point, your effort, seniority, and skills are no longer decisive conditions.

This is when it becomes a zero-sum game: you go up, I must go down; you go down, then I have a chance to go up. This situation is very common.

Even if you work hard and your skills are awesome, you still cannot gain dominance.

You say you want to be your father—possible? That father isn't something just anyone who wants to be can become.

Some things cannot be obtained merely through effort.

To improve this situation, first, expand your abilities—for example, learn to master the skills of industrial upgrading; similarly, it's still about growing wheat, they are people, you will grow wheat with machinery, you become the boss, and they can only follow behind you doing bagging work.

Second, expand the market: as demand for food grows, the family buys several dozen more mu of land, hires a bunch of people from outside; regardless of whether those newcomers have this skill, you can still obtain a certain degree of dominance.

Third, diversify products: they have all learned to grow wheat, so you go learn to grow rice.

There is a saying that goes well: 'If the enemy lacks it and I have it, if the enemy has it and I excel, if the enemy excels, I upgrade industry and transform.'

Just like the money that comes out when everyone opens red envelopes.

Some people spent it on eating, drinking, and entertainment; some used this money to improve their abilities; some seized the opportunity to make investments; some used this money to set up a snack stall; some used this sum to optimize their own enterprises; some bought a set of live-streaming equipment for themselves and started their own TikTok careers.

Different choices create different lives.

Therefore, saying 'getting rich' is a false proposition; getting rich is not getting rich, but rather the result of a comprehensive set of one's own conditions.
