How to beat the industrious rich second generation such as Wang Sicong?

There is no difference between the rich second generation and ordinary people, some are promising and some are defeated. Then the question is, you may easily defeat a decadent rich second generation, but what do you compare with the diligent rich second generation? You know, you are not competing with Wang Sicong now, but with his father Wang Jianlin and even his father Wang Yiquan. That is to say, in the category of family competition, you and Wang Sicong's grandfather are the same generation. Recently, the article "To tell the truth, I envy those hard-working rich second generation" has been circulated wildly in the circle of friends.

"There are a group of people who are better than you, younger than you, richer than you, and more diligent than you. You can't win them at all. " The "diligent rich second generation" mentioned in this article is Jin Keyu, a veritable young lady. Her father is Jin Liqun, former vice minister of finance of China, former chairman of CICC and now head of AIIB. This child born with a golden spoon has received an elite education since childhood, but she is still struggling with far more extraordinary efforts in this world. 1983, Jin keyu was selected as the "global youth leader of 20 14", and he is proficient in English, French, Spanish and Italian. She has reached the professional level of piano and clarinet. It took her only two years to complete all the undergraduate courses at Harvard, and she got them at the age of 25. Interestingly, Jin Keyu's example seems to be very different from the rich second generation in the eyes of the public. In the established impression of society, these people, the second generation who have rich property by inheriting the family business, have been labeled as "deformed" in recent years, such as racing cars, showing off their wealth, being rich and incompetent.

Laemmert and Howard Becker, the representative sociologists in labeling theory, believe that a person being labeled is closely related to the process of defining or calibrating him and his behavior by social members in the surrounding environment. Undeniably, most of the media exposure is negative news about the rich second generation, such as China rich second generation drunk driving in the United States, resulting in 1 death and 6 injuries, Hangzhou racing case, Yao Jiaxin case, "My father is Li Gang" case, and Nanjing rich second generation killing his wife case. "Negative labels" haunt the rich second generation. But now the hard-working "rich second generation" gold carving feather is rare? First of all, we have to trace back to the source. It is said that the word "rich second generation" was first mentioned on June 5438+February 2007 10 in the first program of "Lu Yu You Yue". The original definition refers to the rich children born in the 1980s who inherited hundreds of millions of wealth. Most of these parents are the earliest private entrepreneurs since the reform and opening up. However, the "rich second generation" does not just refer to the post-80s generation. Broadly speaking, as long as they inherit rich family property, they can also be called "rich second generation". So there are many "rich second generation" in history. Are they progressive or degenerate?

Looking through history, I found that many prosperous times were actually built by the second generation of ancestors. The third generation of Emperor Wendi and the fourth generation of Emperor Jingdi inherited the rich legacy left by the previous generation, cultivated their morality, reformed the people with morality, revived the Han Dynasty and governed the literary world. Li Shimin, the second ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, ruled the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Zhenguan by his own efforts. Kangxi, the "second ancestor" who entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, captured Ao Bai, cut San Francisco and Pingle, and also opened the prosperous picture of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, there are also "rich second generation" who have not worked hard in history. Li Baijia is a big businessman, doing transnational business with the western regions, so when he first arrived in Chang 'an, he had a lot of money on him, only to spend it later. Du Fu's grandfather was Prime Minister Du Shenyan. He was born rich, but later he became poorer and poorer. "The wife became stiff in front of her son's servant." In addition, Qin Ershi Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of Qin Shihuang, succeeded to the throne with the support of Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Reese, but he was addicted to drinking and having fun all day, causing Chen Sheng and Guangwu Uprising. At the age of 24, he was forced to commit suicide in Wang Yi Palace, and the glorious Qin Dynasty ended in his hands. Liu Chan, the "Adou who can't afford to help" in The Three Kingdoms, was unable to take charge of state affairs alone, and Shu declined, making a joke of "not thinking about Shu"; Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was "arrogant and extravagant, good at drinking and drinking, and fond of painting, for talking loudly and not caring about political affairs", and eventually became the king of national subjugation, and was later poisoned by people. It took a long time to find out that the rich second generation is no different from ordinary people, with promising and defeated people. Then the question is, you may easily defeat a decadent rich second generation, but what do you compare with the diligent rich second generation?

You see, Zuo Ying, the daughter of Zuo Zongshen, the richest man in Chongqing, has become the largest shareholder of Zongshen Power; Lu, the son of Lu, became the president of Wanxiang Group; Mao Zhongqun, the son of Chairman Mao of Kitchenware, has already mastered the handsome seal of the group. When you are sleeping and playing peas, the children of rich families are studying hard how to be a master early. Even Wang Sicong, the son of Wang Jianlin, Wanda's richest man, seems to eat, drink and be merry every day, brushing Weibo and tearing stars, which impressed netizens. Wang Sicong was interviewed by BBC in the mansion, and communicated in fluent English all the time. The well-founded problem analysis makes people exclaim: "Wang Sicong is a thoughtful man". Rich second generation, seemingly idle, graduated from a famous British university. The 500 million "training fund" his father gave him was not only cheated, but also quietly smashed out five listed companies. Seeing this, I think that when Wang Sicong recently basked in his dog Wang Keke in Weibo and wore two Apple Watch, my tears almost came down. It was quite a shock when you found that you might not live as well as a puppy in Wang Sicong's house. However, please note that this is a "rich second generation" puppy, not an ordinary dog. At this time, we will talk about the consciousness of "family competition". You know, you are not competing with Wang Sicong now, but with his father Wang Jianlin and even his father Wang Yiquan. That is to say, in the category of family competition, you and Wang Sicong's grandfather are the same generation.

For a simple example, Liang Congjie, the founder of Friends of Nature, a non-governmental environmental protection group in China, is a highly respected "successful person" in the public welfare circle. His father Liang Sicheng is one of the best architects in modern history. Liang Sicheng's father, Liang Qichao, was a six-product official of the Qing government and one of the leaders of the Reform Movement of 1898. His father, Liang Baoying, is a scholar whose official career is not smooth. Liang Baoying's father (Zi Jingquan) is also a scholar, and so is Mr. Jingquan's father. You see, it took Liang Jia six generations to turn Mr. Liang Congjie from farming into social welfare. And when you have a father who is a farmer, but you talk all day about why I don't have the money to start a company, the officials don't have connections, and you have to worry about your life when you do public welfare, just think about it. You have surpassed the achievements of Liang's four generations in the social class by your own efforts. Is it awesome? In the future, your children will have a platform to make great achievements in the field of public welfare, even surpassing Liang's six generations. If the Liang family is not representative, the Rothschild family and Rockefeller family abroad, the Yu family in Shaoxing in China, and more than N mysterious families all fully show that social competition has never been a challenge of individual heroism, but a competition accumulated over the years.

Besides, we were born in a flat information age and enjoyed too many social resources that our parents didn't have. what do you want to do? However, it is a little gratifying that according to a study by McKinsey, about 70% of family businesses failed to pass on to the next generation, 87% failed to pass on to the third generation, and only 3% were still operating after the fourth generation. There is a saying in Portugal called "rich peasants-noble sons-poor grandchildren"; Spain also has the saying that "hotel owners, rich sons and grandchildren beg for food"; Germany uses three words "creation, inheritance and destruction" to represent the fate of three generations. The wealth handed down from generation to generation will eventually disappear. Rather than envy and hate those born kings, we should try to change our destiny. Don't believe it? Well, there are many successful examples of becoming rich second generation from scratch at home and abroad. Feng Lun and Pan Shiyi took a 20 million project with a capital of 30,000 yuan, all supported by a local tyrant's 5 million yuan, and then went to the bank to mortgage130,000, and dug up the first bucket of gold by clever tricks. Bao Yugang is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the 20th century. He started from scratch. He borrowed money from a friend to buy a broken boat, and then used this broken boat as collateral to go to the bank for a loan to buy a second boat. By analogy, he expanded his business step by step. Abroad, Carnegie, the "iron king" of the United States, came to the United States as a Scottish immigrant when he was still a poor young man. Starting from a job of changing spools 12 hours a day, he walked ahead step by step. Ford, who was born in a peasant family, first joined Edison Lighting Company, and then resigned to start his own company. His Ford Motor Company changed the life of Americans, made the price of cars close to the people, and set an assembly line standard for the whole industry.

Speaking of which, think about it. In fact, the true meaning of advanced life is not to surpass those whose resources are much stronger than yours, but to surpass yourself yesterday. When the hard-working rich second generation are working hard, you should work harder. However, even if you can't be a rich second generation, you should bravely try to be a rich second generation.
