At the beginning of 2020, a sudden epidemic made people realize that the world is impermanent, and our road to wealth will also have various unexpected situations. In times of crisis, we need to think about issues such as antifragility. Before that, let's talk about the problem of starting from nothing, that is, from 0 to 1.

At present, there is a very hot word called "retrograde", which refers to the feat of selfless medical workers and anti-epidemic volunteers who have devoted themselves to the front line of the fight against the epidemic without hesitation. Xu Xiaoping, founding partner of Zhen Fund, gave a speech to Peter. In the preface to Thiel's book, "From 0 to 1: The Secret to Unlocking Business and the Future," the title is "The Retrograde Who Changed the World." The principle is the same, we started from scratch, and what we want to solve is this problem of starting from scratch, from 0 to 1, and starting from earning the first pot of gold. Most of the time, you need to be a retrograde and take the path less traveled.

When we enter the stock market, we must first solve this problem from 0 to 1. Solved this problem, all that remains is the problem of replication from 1 to n.

Peter. Thiel gave us this idea, and I quote some of his ideas and introduce them to you:

"When I interview candidates, I always ask the question, 'What do you think differently from other people?'

This non-roundabout question sounds easy to answer, but it's not. It challenges the intellect because what everyone receives in school is affirmed and must be recognized. It also challenges the psyche because it takes courage for everyone who tries to answer to have to say something they know they don't agree with. There are few brilliant answers, and these ideas lack more courage than wisdom. Usually, the response I hear is something like this:

'Our education system is flawed and needs to be reformed urgently. ’

'America is extraordinary. ’

There is no God in the world. ’

None of these answers are good. The first and second statements may be true, but many people already agree with them. The third simply paraphrases the views of one side of the common debate. A good answer should follow the following pattern: 'Most people believe in X, but the truth is the opposite of X.' ”

"The future we look forward to is progressive. Progress can take two forms. First, horizontal progress, also known as broad progress, means copying the experience of what has been achieved———— going straight from 1 to n. ”

"Second, vertical progress, also known as in-depth progress, means to explore new paths———— progress from 0 to 1."

"At the macro level, a word can be used instead of horizontal progress, that is, globalization ———— the promotion of what is useful in one place to the rest of the world."

"Vertical progress can also be summed up in one word: technology."

Peter. Thiel interprets the concept of going from 0 to 1 from a business perspective, and from a broader perspective, every self-made person, whether he uses the business concept of 0 to 1 or 1 to n, he has to solve the problem of going from 0 to 1 in his wealth, that is, solving the first pot of gold.

How can Shengdou Xiaomin solve this problem? What we want to talk about here are some basic principles, not some peerless cheats.

The Qing Wu Yanren told a story in "The Secret of Making a Fortune", Zhangcha people in the South China Sea, District C, one has no craftsmanship, two does not understand foreign languages, and three has no strength, selling materials to soak the first pot of gold, and making a foreign fortune, although there is an element of luck, why not retrograde? What's more, it's demented and loyal. As for the second villain who sells material bubbles and kiln goods, but he has worked hard in March and is already rich.

Wu Yanren commented in the book: "All industrialists, whether they are art practitioners or transporters, should observe the social atmosphere tacitly. Then it will be transferred, and then it will last forever. Every blame for the people of our country, no matter what kind of business they do, they are all the same, and they are willing to sit and become corrupt. Yes, it is a great sorrow. A small peddler in District C is a person who can sneak into the observance and cast his hobby. Alack! It is needless to say that its wealth is also rich. Selling materials to soak a section, the ear of special deception. As for the Shiwan kiln goods, it cannot be said that it is not one of the art of our country. Outsiders still have a lot of buyers. However, it is also black and conservative to the old law, and does not try to improve the craftsmanship, why is it strange? It is strange that the gentleman is pretentious about the current situation, and he has no ears to advocate it. Everything is true, and this kiln is already the same.

The atmosphere mentioned here is just a good word, and Mr. Wu Yanren's summary is really in place.

The blog has long pointed out the path for small shareholders who are struggling in the stock market. People who want to go from 0 to 1 in the stock market still have to follow some basic principles that she pointed out for us:

The first is to follow the mathematical principles in investment, establish your own stock selection system from the three aspects of fundamentals, technicals, and price comparison relationships, and look at and learn carefully. In the stock market, you have a lot of opportunities for trial and error, but it won't be long.

The second is to choose the critical point of the transaction, and if the critical point is reached, take immediate action. To learn the skills of operation, to achieve "cheap as pearls, expensive as dung", that is the highest realm.

The third is to abandon self-deception and adhere to the principle of fund management.

Fourth, say the important thing three times: trend, trend, or trend, or that sentence, don't let your brain move your eyes.

Yours from 0 to 1 is different from anyone else, go find your 1, whatever kind of business you are engaged in, follow some basic principles, and you will definitely achieve your goal, and the time it will take depends on you.
