The stronger your ability to plunder, the richer you become; the weaker your ability to plunder, the less money you have. How to plunder? Usually, it doesn't refer to real violence or illegal activities, but rather to the ability to acquire resources, profits, and opportunities in market competition—closer to "value acquisition ability." From an economic perspective, it can generally be understood through the following three insights: ① Value exchange, not mere possession. Economics emphasizes voluntary exchange. Those who can truly "become wealthy" in the long term are not the ones stealing others' things, but those creating value that others are willing to pay for. The bigger the problem you solve and the stronger the demand, the greater your returns. ② Scarcity determines income. The level of income often depends on whether the resources or abilities you possess are scarce. For example: unique skills, information advantages, capital, channels, networks, etc. The scarcer they are, the stronger your bargaining power, and the more economic benefits you can share. ③ Recognize incentives and rules, not just surface efforts. Economic thinking emphasizes "incentive mechanisms." Those who understand the rules, utilize the rules, and align with the incentive structures are more likely to acquire resources. For example: choosing faster-growing industries or adopting more efficient business models are often more important than simply working harder. In simple terms, these three points can be summarized as: create value + occupy scarcity + understand rules.
