First, my own experience. Let me talk about my own experience first. I'm also an expert. I have been confused and entangled in the past, and I have a deep fear of the future.
July 20 10, I worked as a summer job in Shanghai Pudong changshuo electronics factory. I stand 12 hour every day, and my monthly salary is 3000 yuan. Once I went to the city with my ex-girlfriend at night and took Line 2 to Lujiazui. Under the Jinmao Building, I looked up at the building. The scene at that time was probably like this.
About this angle
At that time, watching all kinds of white-collar workers get off work and thinking about the situation in their hometown, I suddenly felt a sense of heroism.
I must come to Shanghai after graduation! ! !
Then, after graduation, I came. I worked as a marketing manager for one year and a marketing director for two years. In the third year, I started a small company with a few like-minded friends. Although I didn't earn much money, I really thanked myself for my efforts in those years, and thanked Shanghai, a first-tier city, for giving me a stage to play.
2. What are the advantages of first-tier cities compared with second-and third-tier cities? Coming to Shanghai is one of the most correct decisions I have made in recent years. Although, as a rural child, I made great efforts to reach the average level of some people.
I think the city I chose when I was young will affect my life. During the five years from the age of 23 to 28, I got to know myself and the world again in Shanghai, which directly affected my later life.
Every time I see the topic of fleeing from Beijing to Guangzhou, I want to say: Stay, no matter how difficult it is now, you will thank yourself for that choice many years later.
I also suggest that young people who have not come yet but are eager to come to first-tier cities give it a try. The cost is just a high-speed rail ticket. If not, what can you lose when you go back? Of course, if you don't even have this courage, it's not surprising that life fails again.
What's good about first-tier cities? I summed up four points, let you have a look.
1, more knowledge and broader vision pattern.
About knowledge
When I was a child, I listened to my grandmother singing opera, and there was a saying.
The aria in the Shandong Lu Opera Xiachenzhou: I heard that Lao Bao was going out of Beijing and was busy in the East Palace and the West Palace.
The queen bakes cakes in the East Palace and peels green onions in the West Palace.
This is naturally the "Xiachenzhou" of Shandong folk customs. If it were Shaanxi, it would be Daoxiao Noodles and Lehe, right?
Reading Lu Xun's "People's Words", there is a passage:
"It's noon on a hot day. A peasant woman was working hard when suddenly she sighed:
The empress really doesn't know how happy she is.
At this time, it is no longer a nap in bed. When you wake up, shout and bring a persimmon! "
Tell me what I saw in Shanghai.
Many tourists visit Shanghai every year. I often meet people who ask me for help to buy subway tickets because they have never been on the subway at all. In the past two years, more people have asked how to ride bicycle sharing, but this is very common in first-tier cities.
Let's talk about the star concerts in recent years. People often fly thousands of dollars to Beijing and Shanghai to attend a star's concert, or a star goes to a small place, and the whole city is boiling. But in Beijing and Shanghai, they often see these stars, which won't cause such a big sensation.
On visual mode
In Water Margin, Song Jiang likes to take the prodigal son Yan Qing when he goes out. Why? Because Yan Qing has lived in Tokyo (the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, now Kaifeng, Henan Province) for a long time, he is a man who has seen the world, in other words, he has a broad vision and a high pattern. This is another advantage of being in a first-tier city: the vision will be broadened and the pattern will be perfect.
There is a view in management that a person's level is equal to the average level of his/her five closest people.
If you live in the countryside, you are probably closest to Zhang San, who raises fish in the west of the village, Li Si, who lives in kind of garlic in the south of the village, Wang Wu, who keeps sheep in the east of the village, Zheng Liu, who runs a grocery store in the north of the village, and Grandpa Seven, who likes to chat without company next door. Their average level is your level. What you talk about most must be that your parents are short-sighted and the world has nothing to do with you. I don't mean to discriminate against working people. I have great respect for those who earn their own living. Actually, I'm from the countryside myself. I just feel sorry for you.
If you live in a small city, the five people closest to you may be grass-roots civil servants or small businessmen. Mostly talk about daily life, occasionally talk about national policies, investment and financial management.
But if you live in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, you are surrounded by elites, entrepreneurs and business leaders. In addition to entertainment gossip, eating and drinking Lazar and other life topics, the topics between you will certainly include hot topics such as mobile Internet, entrepreneurial innovation, financing and investment, and O2O. Your vision is gradually broadened under the influence of eyes and ears, and your pattern is gradually improved unconsciously.
2. There are more elites, more opportunities, more self-improvement, and more elites in first-tier cities.
This is an important reason why many people choose to go to first-tier cities for development.
Compared with first-tier cities, small cities are like small ponds with two or three catfish, while first-tier cities are like vast seas with complete food chains. Every food chain has "super gods", but more are "carnivorous" elites. This is a world of "carnivores", with a complete industry system, learning system and appreciation system. Moreover, different cultural environments have different influences on themselves. Imagine, can you evolve from a small fish to a "blue shark" in a pond? (Of course, this is just a metaphor. )
You can learn more.
In many traditional industries, "teach an apprentice, starve a teacher" is a word-of-mouth "truth", and teachers always teach an apprentice to "save one hand" to prevent accidents. In fact, the reason is that the development prospect of this industry is limited, and teachers and apprentices all eat in the same pot. If the apprentice has an extra spoon, the master may have to eat less. Such a place pays great attention to first come, then come, young and old Xian Yi, and even ignores economic laws and common sense.
The tear-up drama of a cross talk club in recent years is a true portrayal of the development bottleneck of this kind of "traditional industry" In this environment, it is very unlikely that an apprentice can learn more skills than a master. If you want to learn something other than the legacy, it's almost like the end of "betraying the legacy".
In open places and modern industries, development and changes are changing with each passing day, and everyone should keep learning and making progress.
Every master is eager to teach his skills to his disciples as soon as possible, so that he can have time and energy to learn more advanced things and keep his knowledge updated.
Only when the master passes on the technology to his apprentice can he devote himself to management, management and strategy, instead of just guarding his own site.
In such an environment, the master should not only teach his disciples to eat, but also teach them how to make pots and cook, and even help them "stand on their own feet". The more awesome the master is, the more willing he is to teach his disciples. Because his thinking is open and his thoughts are open-minded. His vision goes far beyond the pot in front of him, but he needs many disciples to jointly expand the territory.
There are more employment opportunities in first-tier cities.
The vigorous economic development has created many employment opportunities.
The traffic is very heavy every day. So some emerging industries can even make profits in a short time.
But only if you have the ability to invest more energy or money. People's consumption concept has also been created,
Emerging things can be integrated into this big IP more quickly and gradually become a link in this big network.
3. Open cultural atmosphere You can be yourself. Two completely different cultural atmospheres. First-tier cities are more tolerant.
In an open place, this is really "the origin of the hero Mo Wen". No one knows all the ins and outs of the people next to them, and they are too lazy to ask so many questions. Everyone speaks by performance. There are hidden tyrants and serious scum around. There are sales experts, PPT awesome people, male gods who dunk +JAVA one-finger Zen, and goddesses who specialize in English and cook. There are sisters who travel all over five continents and run a marathon once a month, and geeks who eat and live in the company for a week for the project. There are "environmentalists" who earn seven figures a year and ride bicycles in N suites every day, and there are also uncles who drive Tesla and love to eat spicy food in the street ... Everyone lives a unique life without disturbing each other.
Because there are too many people in this city, I feel used to seeing so many.
But if you are in a small place.
If you don't get married at the age of 30, you will be left with men and women.
Being married and not having children is sick.
Women like women, men like men, and you are a pervert.
If a good institution doesn't do it, don't mix it up.
It is also a dishonest person to graduate from college without taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
Wearing miniskirts in summer is shameless.
It's fucking disgusting that you spend two months' salary tattooing your arm.
People in small places, everyone should save you and educate you, anytime, anywhere,
For your own good, they want you to be like them:
Men, in boring classes, curry favor with relevant leaders and kowtow quietly.
Women, getting married, having children, looking after children, schools, companies, vegetable markets,,,,,
It's okay to educate you alone,
Maybe you can overcome it, overcome it,
But when a family, 100 people who know you want to educate you,
Maybe you will be assimilated by them,
Hey, if you want to be yourself, come to the big city.
People here are too busy to save you.
The only thing you need to fight is yourself.
Don't let anyone ruin your life,
Your life, if you want to destroy it, you will destroy it in your own hands!
Life in first-tier cities is fast-paced, and people don't care too much about alternative things.
4. There are many industry information, entrepreneurial opportunities and first-tier cities.
This is an important reason why many people choose to go to first-tier cities for development.
The general trend of social development will generally start from these cities. It's like an interesting little thing:
A child from a second-tier city goes to school in a third-tier city, and a small toy is quite popular, but it is the first time for a third-tier child to contact. The children in this second-tier city are tired of playing, and the more backward cities have not even touched this toy because of economic problems. This is the problem of information circulation. More developed cities are always one step ahead of the information they contact and get. It also means getting opportunities faster.
More entrepreneurs
In second-and third-tier cities, you may follow the route planned by your parents, and you may follow the path of most ordinary people. Although you are unwilling to be lonely, you can't resist.
However, in first-tier cities, providing market scientific and technological information for your resistance and providing a platform for venture financing for your resistance may create more possibilities for you!
What is the state of entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurs in mainland China often talk about "the dream of changing the world", participate in various reading clubs and have big coffee exchanges. Obsessed with the latest concepts, from virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to drones and wearable devices, various new concepts and words emerge one after another. Everyone is paying attention to what is happening at KK, what speech Ma Yun will give, when Kai-fu Lee will give a speech and so on. We have to hold a "brainstorming" from time to time to brainstorm.
Entrepreneurs in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen don't have so many "dreams", because there are foundries of major international brands around, and you can easily find out the material cost, performance parameters, market prices, sales channels and so on of various equipment. You can quickly judge that I have money to make in this direction. Start doing it if you have money, and change direction if you don't have money. Why do you have so much time to discuss? Let's get started!
Third, about housing prices, housing prices and income are not the same thing at all!
Now people with strong ability and good background can buy a house anywhere;
People with weak ability and poor background can hardly buy a house anywhere now.
Everyone knows what a house means to young people. The more closed it is, the greater the negative impact of "no house".
You "have no background, only a back",
If there is no hope of buying a house anywhere by salary and family accumulation, instead of staying in your hometown to survive,
Why not go to the first-tier cities and fight for him for a few years? Maybe one day you will proudly say to yourself, "I came, I saw it, I conquered it."
In fact, even if you can't stay, so what? The wealth you have accumulated in first-tier cities should be enough for you to buy a house in second-and third-tier cities.
What's more, the horizon, horizon and mind you have accumulated in first-tier cities are far more important than book wealth, which can benefit you for life.
Having the experience of "laying the floor with Ren, setting up a stall with Ma Yun, painting the exterior wall with Yu, and passing by the counter of Liu Station" will make you feel that financial "success" is nothing!
Power in first-tier cities is more about power, which many people can't understand. In fact, people are under great pressure. Big enough to have to do this.
I have been to a friend's company in Beijing before. Less than a few hundred square meters are full of people, which is very crowded. And everyone works hard, relying on commission income. According to the boss, their per capita income can reach 6.5438+0 million yuan. And they are all outsiders, knowing that they can't even live in Beijing without hard work. There is a reason why we must work hard. Although it is cruel, it is much better than the idea of quitting when you are tired and going home at the worst.
Let me end this article with a quote from General Patton:
Twenty years later, you will be glad that you participated in this world war.
At that time, when you were by the fireplace, your grandson sat on your lap and asked you:
"Grandpa, what did you do during World War II?"
Don't cough awkwardly, move your grandson to the other knee and say hesitantly:
"Ah ... Grandpa, I shoveled dung in Louisiana."
On the contrary, brothers, you can look him in the eye and confidently say:
"Grandson, grandpa, I fought side by side with that son of a bitch george patton in the Third Army!"
That's my answer. I'm paying benefits now.
