As we all know, the financial industry is a "multi-gold" industry, but anyone who mixes in the financial circle will feel that he has a "halo".
Why is this? Because most people don’t understand finance. Because of scarcity, information inequality will exist, and making money often comes from getting information earlier than others. Therefore, we can not invest or manage money, but we must know some financial knowledge.
bank interest
A rich man borrowed a loan of 5,000 yuan from a Wall Street bank for two weeks. The bank loan must be mortgaged. He used a Rolls Royce parked at the door as collateral. The bank clerk parked his Rolls-Royce in the underground garage, and then lent the rich man 5000 yuan. Two weeks later, the rich man came to pay back the money, and the interest was 15 yuan. The bank staff found that the rich man had tens of millions of dollars in his account and asked why he still borrowed money.
Regal said: 15 yuan’s two-week parking lot will never be found on Wall Street.
Non-profit investment
Please give an example to explain what is unprofitable investment. The economics professor asked questions.
"Take your sister out to play." A male student replied.
The principle of precedence and separate totals
Pick up 75 yuan once, or pick up 50 first and then 25, which one?
Lose 75 yuan once, or lose 50 first and then 25, which one?
Experiments show that most people choose to pick up 75 yuan separately and throw it in 75 yuan together.
This is the principle of pleasure and pain in economics: n pieces of good news should be released separately; N bad news should be released together; A big bad news and a small good news, respectively; A big good news and a small bad news are released together.
Resource pairing
If men and women are divided into four excellent levels of ABCD, the current situation is that A men want to find B women, B men want to find C women, and C men want to find D women, so D men are left.
On the other hand, women are different, that is, ABCD women want to find a man. The final result is a woman and a man.
Comparative utility
There is a formula in economics: happiness = utility-expectation.
For example, your boyfriend privately gave 1000 yuan as a reward for his excellent work. At this time, if your expectation is that he can buy himself a bag with 10000 yuan, then if 1000 is divided by 10000, the happiness is only 0.1. But if your expectation is to let your boyfriend treat himself to a 200-yuan western-style meal, then if you divide 1000 by 200, your happiness will be 5.
Finance is cruel.
If we want to find an antonym for "literary youth", the most appropriate one is "financial youth".
Financial youth
How to understand this sentence?
From tomorrow on, I want to have a house facing the sea and blooming in spring. From tomorrow on, be a happy person, feed horses to chop firewood and travel around the world. From tomorrow on, I only care about my relatives, lovers and friends around me.
The premise of all this is: have a house, have a house, have a house …
Regarding the house, if we can look at it with "financial thinking", then you wouldn’t be so infatuated with Gao Xiaosong’s words "Don’t buy a house, buy a dream".
After the housing reform in China, the house has actually become a financial product. Many people think that housing prices in China are sky-high, because houses are just houses in their eyes. And if you regard the house as a financial product, you will understand why the house price in China is soaring all the way.
Xiao Bian believes that every item, service and enterprise in the future can become a financial product, and then carry out financial operation on it. For example, the financialization of movies, when you are watching movies, others are betting on the box office.
What is financial operation? It is to promote the capital to flow into the most efficient countries and regions, the most efficient industries, the most efficient enterprises, the most efficient projects and the most efficient individuals in turn, so as to realize the appreciation and expansion of capital.
Toolbox consciousness
So from now on, you must have toolbox awareness.
That is: your house, car, stock, salary, etc. are all your financial instruments. Your purpose is not to completely own them, but to use them. You should add value through renewal, turnover and redemption, and then push up your height, so that you can allocate more resources.
The essence of finance is how money makes money. Money is not the root of all evil, it can only quantify everything. Assets can be quantified, thinking can be quantified, life can be quantified, feelings can be quantified, and even time can be quantified.
Everything is for my use, and nothing is for me. All tangible assets are things outside the body, and the ideas and patterns you form in this process are your own.
In order to allocate larger, more and farther resources, you also need to understand the principle of leverage.
lever principle
Give me a fulcrum, and I can pry up the whole earth! This is a famous saying handed down from ancient Greek scientist Archimedes, which means that no matter how heavy an object is, as long as my lever is long enough, I can pry it. The principle of leverage is a very clever invention, and we completely incite things beyond our "power".
This is also a very inspiring principle, which inspires us to boldly change the world. But it is all kinds of financial players who really apply this sentence to the extreme and completely change the world.
Without leverage, there is no finance. The essence of all financial innovations is to amplify the leverage smoothly. The first-level leverage is 1: 3, and the second-level leverage is 1: 3. When the whole system is superimposed, it becomes 1: 9, and there are three, four or even invisible levers.
It is not difficult to amplify the lever, but it is difficult to match the lever series with your control, otherwise it will get out of control. Repeated illegal fund-raising, small loans, guarantees and other events that closed down due to the break of the capital chain, as well as the frequent incidents of losing contact and running away from Internet finance are all caused by leverage, so the essence of all financial crises is that leverage is out of control!
For the country, Shui Muran believes that true wisdom is a system that takes credit as the fulcrum and designs a lever with controllable risks to incite and allocate distant resources. That is the high wisdom of the country and the essence of financial thinking.
Four roles
The essence of finance is Qian Shengqian, and this logic turns the world into four roles:
The first role: I have money and I need to turn it into more money. (capitalist)
The second role: I don’t have money, I can help rich people turn money into more money. (Banks and other institutions)
The third role: I have no money, but my ideas can be turned into money (entrepreneurs)
The fourth role: whoever gives me money, I will help him earn money (migrant workers)
Therefore, finance is an angel, because it can help people who need money to get money; Finance is also the devil, because it makes rich people richer.
So finance, to put it bluntly, is: managing money for the rich and financing for those who are short of money. Then take value-added as the goal, leverage as the means, credit as the cornerstone and boundary as the risk. The essence of finance is the interaction of value-added, credit, leverage, risk and so on, thus forming a large operating system.
Credit is particularly important here, because credit is the basis of leverage. If you have credit, I will leverage. There is no credit and no finance. Credit is the foundation and lifeline of finance!
So in the future, your credit is more important than your identity!
Serve the entity
Finance can be imaginative, but it can’t be illusory.
The so-called image in heaven is shaped in the ground. The essence of finance is just the image projected by the physical industry in the sky, and finance must step on the rhythm of the entity.
For example, for enterprises, your profitability must be greater than your debt speed; For the financing platform, your return on investment must be greater than the interest promised to customers. For the bank, the corporate risk of your lending must be within your own tolerance.
Once finance breaks away from the physical rhythm, it will enter the bubble stage. And now, we are facing this problem!
Deng said: Finance is the core of modern economy. If the finance is done well, everything will be alive.
Boring
If there is wisdom in finance, Shui Muran summed up five sentences:
The root of human inequality is private ownership, and the root of the excessive gap between the rich and the poor is finance.
When you have to rely on hard work to succeed, you have lost at the starting line.
Ugliness is nothing compared to the weakness of poverty.
Some things can be changed without hard work. No matter how beautiful the RMB of 50 yuan is, it is not as attractive as the RMB of 100 yuan.
Therefore, finance can be really boring sometimes.
Homosexual game
Regardless of stock trading, investment or buying a house, finance is a game with human nature. This game is divided into four realms:
Technology-art-magic-Taoism.
Horizontal and vertical cooperation, reeling and peeling cocoons, and setting up point control bureaus; Insight into the warmth and coldness of human nature and analysis of public behavior, along the way, if you can do it with ease, you will reach the realm of "Taoism." At this time, everything is born with each other, born with illness and death, and everything comes and goes freely in your heart.
The strongest opponent is yourself. Once you beat yourself, it’s like jumping out of the three realms and not in the five elements. Don’t be humiliated, watch the flowers bloom before the court; I have no intention of staying or staying, and I look up at the clouds in the sky.
At this time, you: people abandon me and take it, and people take me and give it. The great self has no self, and what all beings want is exactly what you give up.
So you became a kind Buddha.
