It is a very simple idea to use the power of compound interest

It is a very simple idea to use the power of compound interest  Smart people are easily attracted by complex things, and underestimate the great influence and importance of simple ideas. But Monish Pabrai is a full pragmatist, and he will not fall into this trap. "It is a very simple idea to use the power of compound interest, a very simple idea to imitate, and a very simple idea to be honest." He said. However, when you apply some powerful ideas with great enthusiasm, the cumulative effect is "incomparable".

Convergence problems and divergent problems

 Convergence problems and divergent problems

We know that there are problems that have been solved and problems that have not been solved. Perhaps we think that the former is not a problem; But when it comes to the latter, are there still problems that have not been solved or even can not be solved at all?

First, let's take a look at the problems that have been solved. Take a design problem as an example. For example, how to make a two-wheeled human transport? People have put forward various solutions, and these solutions are converging day by day. Finally, a design scheme stands out, which is a bicycle. As a result, this answer will be handed down forever. Why does this answer last forever? Because it conforms to the laws of the world - the laws of the inanimate nature.

I intend to refer to problems of this nature as "convergence problems". The more you study them rationally, the more these answers will come together. These problems can be divided into "convergence problems that have been solved" and "convergence problems that have not been solved". The word "not yet" is very important because, on the whole, they will eventually be solved. Everything takes time, but the time has not come to solve these problems. What is needed is more time, more R & D funds, and perhaps more talents.

However, there are also many capable people who are ready to study a problem but have come up with contradictory answers. They do not come together. On the contrary, the more they are clarified and the more their logic is strengthened, the more divergent they become until some of the answers seem to be just opposite to others. These are divergent problems.

Look ahead to the future and live in the present

 Look ahead to the future and live in the present In short, what investors need to do is to "look ahead to the future and live in the present" -- not only strive to see the trajectory of future development, but also endure loneliness and calm down, and not pay for expensive tickets in advance for a wonderful future that is just a possibility. The fundamental analysis of enterprises must spread to three perspectives simultaneously, namely "the essence of market, the essence of the business, and the essence of investment". It will bring potential risks to investment analysis to only advocate any one of them and ignore the others. Understand the long-term development trend and final pattern of the industry from the essence of the market "supply and demand", and understand the fundamental decisive factors of the industry and the ability to produce differentiated competitive advantages from the essence of the business "competition", Then from the esse

Spatial induction and temporal induction

Image
 Spatial induction and temporal induction Before explaining the "misunderstanding of induction", we first need to fully understand the specific connotation of this thinking mode. Usually, when people use induction, they often set a certain reference first. From the inertia of human thinking, this reference is often space or time. The so-called spatial induction, in short, means that people will acquiesce to the effective law in one space, and it is also effective in other spaces or even all spaces. Just like an entrepreneur who succeeds in a certain regional market, he will take it for granted that he can succeed in other markets. We can use a more popular example to illustrate. If all the swans people see in Europe are white, all the swans they see in Africa are white, and all the swans they see in Asia are white, people will naturally default that swans all over the world are white. As the name suggests, temporal induction means that some rules that were established in the

About sales distribution channels

 About sales distribution channels Generally speaking, the higher the added value, the more complex the pre-sales and after-sales work, and the customers must continue to re-educate and explore the business, direct selling is the most appropriate. Although the initial stage is slow, the critical factor for the success of this business is to establish a strong influence on customers. In short, it is to "brainwash" customers. This complex and high-tech work channel is difficult to replace. And in the long term, the success or failure of this business does not depend on who achieved the scale effect through the channel first but on continuous innovation and the differentiation of value demands. Therefore, the temporary slowdown does not affect the long-term competitiveness of enterprises. On the contrary, this work is left to the distributor channel. The longer the time, the greater the hidden interest and the smaller the benefit. However, for businesses with low added value, a
