Once upon a time, there was a man who loved money. After he sold all his property, he exchanged it for a large piece of gold and buried it under the wall. Every night, he dug out the gold and caressed it.

Later, a neighbor discovered his secret and secretly dug away the gold. When the man dug up the land again at night, the gold was gone, and he cried sadly.

Someone saw that he was so sad, and after asking the reason, he advised: "What do you have to be sad about? If you bury the gold, it will become useless waste. Find a stone and put it there. , just treat it as a gold nugget, isn’t it the same?”

Now, if you look at it from an economic point of view, what this person is persuading makes sense. The man who hid the gold nugget was a person who loved money. He regarded the gold nugget as a sign of wealth, forgetting that gold as "money" only generates value when it is exchanged for goods, and only generates value during turnover. Without turnover, not only is it impossible to add value, but the value of existence is also lost. So it's really no different from burying a stone.

If that person can use gold as capital and make reasonable use of it, he will definitely earn more money. Even if a company owner has a certain amount of funds in his hands, but he is no longer willing to use the money to make money or to use the money for turnover, then for his future career, it is like a human body. If there is sufficient blood, but the heart is necrotic and can no longer promote blood circulation, his career will stand still and die.

Anyone who has studied a little bit of "Das Kapital" knows that the secret of increasing circulation profits is that money can create surplus value.

A simple principle is that when you use money to buy goods and then sell the goods, the money you get already contains residual value, that is to say, the original money has increased in value.
