Many people criticize this popular saying, believing that these people are the result of one generation seizing opportunities or taking advantage of the unspoken rules of society, rather than the result of three generations of hard work. In fact, they only see one dimension of things, that is, the sudden change in financial wealth. In fact, there are deeper reasons behind this.

1. Space transformation
Most people live in small villages or towns with poor information and resources. This requires the efforts of a generation to find ways to get out of the mountains and the countryside. This requires not only courage, but also the hardship of leaving one's hometown, from walking to a big city, from nothing to something, and staying in a big city. This can be said to be a transformation in itself, which may be externalized as buying a house, getting married and having children.

2. Upgrade your thinking
Staying in cities or places where resources are concentrated is not just a geographical issue, but more of an upgrade of thinking after broadening your horizons. There is a story that everyone is familiar with. Two rural people came to a big city together. They were thirsty and bought a bottle of mineral water. One person thought that the big city was too difficult and even drinking water cost money, while the other person thought that it was too easy here and he could make money by selling water.

3. Building personal connections
After getting rid of the poverty of information and thinking, it is necessary to build connections in new places. The new generation builds connections step by step by studying in the city, interacting with new classmates, meeting new friends, and making new colleagues. This lays the foundation for opening up wealth channels in the future. By changing to new circles, it can be said that they have truly broken free from the constraints of the original ecology.

4. Accumulation of resources
With a large platform, the political thinking that adapts to social competition, and a network of contacts, everything is ready. Now it is time to enter the real stage of resource accumulation. A good cook cannot cook without rice. Many people go with the flow, settle down in the city, and stop there. In fact, this requires promoting wealth accumulation for the next generation and constantly completing the most original capital preparation by restraining desires.

5. Waiting for time
When luck comes, heaven and earth are on your side. When luck is gone, heroes are helpless. Anyone who does anything must identify opportunities and seize them. Without opportunities, nothing can be accomplished. In particular, great wealth is brought about by great social changes. Great social changes can only be encountered but not sought. We can only accumulate while waiting for our own wealth cycle. Every generation will have one or two opportunities, and if you miss them, they will be gone.

The example of a friend is very illustrative. His grandfather was from a rural area in Jiangsu. He came to Shanghai by chance. After seeing the prosperity, he left his hometown and worked as a sailor. Later, he unloaded goods at the dock and came to Shanghai. After Shanghai was liberated, he became part of the working class. The state allocated a house to him. His father studied in the city and had a little education. Later, he became a worker. He was hardworking and saved a lot of money. When he was born, he was already a third-generation Shanghainese, a complete Shanghai native. After that, he studied and bought a house. His son, the fourth generation, came back from studying abroad and made equity investments in big cities, with tens of millions of wealth. A child of their relatives in Jiangsu hometown just graduated from college and entered Shanghai. He envied their family's many houses and wealth, but was dissatisfied at the same time. He felt that he was good enough. Why could they have so many, why couldn't I? Social injustice, in fact, there is no need to sigh. Ask, why didn't his own grandfather leave the countryside before liberation?
