Where did the money that fell go when the stock market plummeted? I gave you an example:
A pork dealer came to the village and brought 1,000 kilograms of pork, and the issuance price is 10 yuan per kilogram. You bought 10 kilograms and spent 100 yuan. Everyone bought it with them, and in a blink of an eye, all 1,000 kilograms of pork were bought by your village.
Since pork was a rare thing at that time, everyone was reluctant to eat it and kept it in the refrigerator. The old man in the village said that according to experience, this pork dealer may not come once a year, and everyone should cherish the pork in their hands.
You believe in the old man’s experience, and buy 10 kilograms of
So you bought 10 kilograms of pork from Zhang San of the same village at a price of 11 yuan per kilogram, and spent 110 yuan. At this time, you have 20 kilograms of pork on your hands, and you spent a total of 210 yuan.
pork price increases, you sold 20 kilograms to make a profit
Many people in the village believe in the experience of the old man and think that the pork in their hands will increase, so a group of people want to buy 20 kilograms of pork in your hands.
You said yes, as long as the price is right.
Li Si proposed to buy the pork in your hand at a unit price of 11.2 yuan, and you said wait a little longer. Then Huang Wu bid 11.5 yuan to buy your pork, so you might as well wait.
Maliu said that he bought your pork at a unit price of 12 yuan. You were moved, so you reached a deal with Maliu. At a price of 12 yuan per catty, I sold 20 kilograms of pork to Maliu, and the total was 240 yuan. minus your previous cost of 210 yuan, you made 30 yuan.
You tasted the sweetness in this transaction, and afterwards my wife said you can continue to buy low and sell high.
You also think your vision is too good. So you and your wife bought 100 kilograms of pork from Liu Qi for a total of 1,300 yuan per kilogram.
At this time, you firmly believe that by the end of the year, the pork will definitely rise to 20 yuan per pound, and then you will sell it to others and make a big profit.
But the idea is full and the reality is skinny.
negative news came, and everyone rushed to sell pork
At this time, a young man who came back from a big city told the villagers that it is best not to eat pork now because there is swine fever outside. And the pork you all have in your hands may be sick pork.
You all believe this young man’s words. After all, many of you have never left the provincial capital, and it’s rainy to listen to the wind.
So everyone frantically sold the pork in their hands. Some people sold 10 yuan per pound, some people sold 9.5 yuan per pound, and finally some people sold 7 yuan per pound. Still can't sell it.
At this time, you are in tears and you are in danger of losing 20 kilograms of pork in your hand. At this time, Zhou Ba proposed that you could buy 20 kilograms of pork for 6 yuan.
You discussed it with your wife, and finally decided to sell the pork on your hand and reluctantly give up.
pork has returned to 10 yuan per pound
Later, someone learned that there was no swine fever outside, and it was the young man who made the rumor. So the pork returned to the initial 10 yuan per pound.
is preparing for the New Year, and you bought 10 kilograms of pork from others, and it feels like everything has returned to the starting point. But when you and your wife were taking stock of the items at night, they found that you still own 10 kilograms of pork, but you lost 670 yuan.
But in your village, the total number is still 1,000 kilograms of pork. Some people make money in this change, while others lose money. Have you understood the example of
? Maybe you can understand where the money you lost in the stock market went.
Let’s talk about what is a zero-sum game?
Your colleague has recently been happy to have a son, so it is a joy to congratulate you. On the day of the full moon banquet, all colleagues from your company department were invited to a hotel for dinner. Several colleagues in your department will receive a gift of 200 yuan each.
The next day, you asked your colleague curiously, yesterday's full moon banquet, there should be a lot of gifts, right?
colleagues helplessly told you: "It's quite a lot, just enough money for the banquet." You smiled after hearing this.
A few months later, your eldest daughter was admitted to a good university. You were very happy and decided to hold a school entrance banquet for your eldest daughter.
so you booked the hotel where your colleagues had a full moon banquet before and invited several colleagues from your department to come and have dinner together.On this day of the school banquet, colleagues congratulated you and your eldest daughter, and attached their share money, each colleague 200 yuan. You accepted it with a smile.
When the guests disperse, you go to the service desk to pay the bill, and then you find that the share money is just about to offset the bill.
So later you realized a truth: no matter which family has a happy event, the money and expenses will be offset, and everyone is going to have fun and have a meal. The example of
is a zero-sum game.
You and Xiao Huang are colleagues in the factory, and you live in the factory dormitory on the third floor. There are only steps in the dormitory, but no elevator.
Winter is coming, and since the bathroom in the factory dormitory is not equipped with hot water, if you want to take a hot bath, you have to go to the boiler room on the first floor to get hot water.
That day, you fetched a bucket of hot water to the first floor of the dormitory. When you happened to meet Xiao Huang, you said to Xiao Huang: "Xiao Huang, if you help me carry this bucket of water to the dormitory on the third floor, I will give you 5 yuan"!
Xiao Huang thought to himself, this money is so profitable! He agreed to you, so he took your bucket of hot water and took it to the dormitory on the third floor, and you also gave him 5 yuan as promised. He was as happy as a child, and told you that if there were such good things to do next time, remember to call him.
Because Xiao Huang helped you carry water, other workers in the dormitory saw it. Everyone teased Xiao Huang, you are your nanny! You were a little embarrassed after hearing this.
And Xiao Huang was unhappy when he heard this, thinking that he would find another opportunity to get back the face next time.
So on that day, Xiao Huang wanted to take a hot shower, so he also went to the boiler room on the first floor to get a bucket of hot water. When he arrived at the first floor, he was about to take a breath, and you walked past him.
Xiao Huang knew that the opportunity had come, so he stopped you and said to you, "If you help me carry this bucket of water to the dormitory, I will give you 5 yuan."
Due to the last incident, you made Xiao Huang lose face in front of his roommates. This time, he still earned 5 yuan for him to carry water, so you agreed happily.
so you carried the hot water bucket to the third floor, and in front of all the roommates, Xiao Huang also paid you 5 yuan with satisfaction.
The moment you get the money, you thought it was wrong!
Last time you paid Xiao Huang 5 yuan, but this time he paid you another 5 yuan. Everyone didn’t have much money, but everyone carried the hot water once. It’s better to carry your own water!
Finally you realize that you and Xiao Huang both felt "lonely".
This example is about zero-sum games. What
is written in the last word
and above are an example of where the money goes after the stock market falls, and some examples of zero-sum games.
I hope it will be helpful to your understanding.
