If you want to be a rich man, play more monopoly games and elaborate on the economics in the game.
Monopoly, as a national game, enjoys many fans at all ages. A few days ago, a friend with assets of over 1 million said, "He learned all the means of doing business by playing monopoly before." At that time, I only thought it was a modest statement of success, but when I think about it carefully, it is actually easy to make money if I can use monopoly skills flexibly. Why? Because the design of Monopoly is closely related to economics.
Monopoly wasn't actually born for entertainment, but it was a sand drill to expose evil capitalism. In 193, a woman named Lizzie Magie applied for a patent for her newly invented board game "The Landlord's Game". There is a sentence in the column of social impact in the application form: the game patent aims to show the adverse impact of land monopoly on the economy and the feasibility of using land value tax as a remedy. Naked expression of the monopoly of land economy.
This is the predecessor of the game, and this Maggie is a big fan of Henry George, a famous American economist in the 19th century. Henry george has a book called "Progress and Poverty". The core point of the book is that the economic model in which capitalists keep buying real estate and collecting rent from passers-by will eventually lead to the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and the winner will take it all and everyone else will go bankrupt.
Later, this game entered the university campus and became a deduction tool for economics professors and students. During this period, more financial tools were added, and it was named "The Fascinating Game of Finance".
After many changes, the "Monopoly" series of computer games developed by Yao Zhuangxian, the father of Xianjian, which we are familiar with, finally entered the eyes of domestic people. Although it is a game, it contains the running rules of capitalism that the older generation of economists want to convey.
if you grasp these laws, you will naturally be like a duck to water in the wave of market economy. Let's take the most classic Monopoly 4 as an example (this is the one I played when I was a child) and solemnly tell you about the hidden economic principles behind the game.
The most basic way to play monopoly is to buy land and build houses, and then collect tolls from people who come to your site to make profits. In the game, the chessboard is so big, and the land resources are limited. At the end of the game, everyone will divide it up. At this time, people with less land will be more passive, and they will have to pay for the road wherever they go (the money for buying the road will rise with inflation) until they finally go bankrupt.
Therefore, when you go to any vacant land, you will always choose "Yes" when the option of whether to buy land is thrown on the screen. In the face of whether to build a building on the purchased land, always choose "Yes".
if you get into the good habit of buying a house by hand through monopoly games, you will definitely not miss the real estate boom in the past 2 years.
of course, in the monopoly game, you will find that the better the lot (there is a park nearby), the more the real estate in the northern part of Guangzhou (the land in Guangzhou sells for 2,, and the land in Lanzhou sells for 8), although the purchase price is high, the toll is also high. If you build five-story buildings on the land in the northern part of Guangzhou, wouldn't it be nice to put it away and rent it?
The income of early investment in real estate targets in first-tier cities will far exceed that of investment in 18th-tier cities. With limited land resources, the asset value will only get higher and higher, which echoes the reality.
There is a saying that the first loser is the richest man.
In the monopoly game, honestly buying land to build a house and collect rent is just like honestly working to get paid in real life. If you don't starve yourself, you will definitely not be able to make it to the rich list. Everyone is running a race. Who is much faster than who? At this time, if you want to realize the great leap forward of wealth, you need to make good use of leverage and reasonable debt.
In the monopoly game, if you pass by the bank, you must borrow money from the bank (the loan amount is equal to the player's assets), and then take the money to buy it in buy buy. You should buy land and stocks, so that the capital can expand at the speed of X2.
There is another unique operation here, that is, buy buy buys and buys bank stocks until he buys himself into the board of directors of the bank and becomes the chairman. At this time, you will find that you can directly call the bank deposit financing (the sum of other players' deposits) and use their money to earn their money.
Look at the current society, the development of corporate bosses basically uses leverage effectively, and there are a large number of corporate shareholders in banks. It can be seen that every step in monopoly is a reality.
When Ms. Maggie designed the monopoly game, there were actually two versions.
Monopoly version is the rules of monopoly game that we are familiar with now. Everyone competes for real estate, and in the end, the big landlord takes all the food and everyone else goes bankrupt.
In the * * * win version, the land is owned by all players. As long as someone earns money from land development, others can enjoy the benefits.
what are the winning conditions of the game? When the poorest person in the field earns twice the initial funds, then everyone wins the game together. In other words, the whole game depends on everyone's "cooperation" to win.
As mentioned above, Ms. Maggie opposes private ownership of land and advocates public ownership of land, and monopoly game is a tool to clarify her point of view. As a result, she was hit in the face after the game was put on the market. * * * The winning version was ignored at all, while the monopoly version became an explosion.
Therefore, you can also find all kinds of props for cheat people in monopoly games. People are floating in rivers and lakes, how can they not get stabbed? Isn't this the real society?
well, in reality, everyone just likes the stimulation of cheating, being poor and being rich, driving everyone to the wall.
we often say "one luck, two lives and three geomantics", which is vividly reflected in monopoly.
First of all, every step you take depends on rolling the dice, and the random number of points is the number of steps you take, which will put players in different situations. Although everyone's assets are equal at the beginning of admission, after several rounds, you will find that there have been obvious differences in everyone's assets.
In addition to the randomness of rolling dice, you can also meet the great God of Wealth and the little God of Wealth among the monopoly people. At this time, if God helps, you will get twice the result with half the effort. When you meet a poor god and a poor god, you have to break a fortune and pay double the toll. In addition to the eastern gods, Monopoly 4 also introduced western angels and demons. The land that angels pass by will be blessed, and the house will be automatically covered with a layer, while the devil will have the opposite effect.
From the first generation of monopoly board games to computer games, a chess box with a big question mark has always been an indispensable element. When a player walks on it, it will trigger a series of random events, and you may become rich overnight or destitute overnight.
all we can do is to do our best and listen to destiny, which is realistic enough!
Needless to say, every time I play a game, I stick to the concept of "buy by buy buy". I play the most fixed assets, but my cash on hand is almost spent. One accidentally walks into someone's site, gets ripped off, and the cash is not enough to pay, and the Game Over goes bankrupt in an instant.
In fact, in real life, many bosses died because of the broken capital chain.
I always thought that the Grant Thornton Card in Monopoly was used by the poor for the rich. But after sharing my experience with my friends, it simply subverted my three views. When I was a child, I played Monopoly 4. I started to play for millions and it ended. Under the guidance of friends, you can play with more than one billion assets in the future! Yes, it's more than a billion! ! When you have more than tens of millions, you must remember to use Grant Thornton Card to distribute your money, otherwise the other party will have no fun if it goes bankrupt. The above model keeps playing, and it is easy to have hundreds of millions of assets.
when your assets are ahead, remember to raise more leeks and harvest them at any time! Keep leeks for a thousand days for a while. Raising leeks well can make your assets go to a higher level.
is the concept of counting coupons similar to the so-called social network resources in reality?
finally, I've been talking nonsense for so long, but life is not like a game, and there is no file to save/read. I wish you all a winner in life! Play the monopoly game of your life!
