From "God of Gamblers" to see the circle
- "God of Gamblers" after

watching from childhood to big, I watch "God of Gamblers" (God of Gamblers, 1989, director: Wang Jing, screenwriter: Wang Jing, starring: Chow Yun-fat / Andy Lau / Wang Zuxian / Zhang Min / Xiang Huaqiang / Long Fang / etc.) at least ten times. In the past, I was just watching the fun, but the Fa-ge in the film was too high-spirited, and his aura was so powerful that people could even ignore the various flaws of the plot. The day before yesterday, when I wanted to stimulate my tired nerves, I suddenly realized that the core of this article is not about gambling skills, but about circles.

In any industry, the so-called information asymmetry is actually only for ordinary practitioners, and for the top ones in the industry—the few (dozens at most) at the top of the pyramid, in fact, everyone knows themselves and their enemies. Paying attention to opponents is also an important means to improve yourself. . Otherwise, if they meet on a narrow road, their eyes will be blackened, and it will be difficult to win with a single word of bravery.

The higher the industry, the smaller the circle. Look at "God of Gamblers" filmed in 1989. Although there was no Internet at that time, it relied on telephone, telegram, video and other information means, and more importantly, "simultaneous interpretation" in the industry - information sharing and word-of-mouth spread, making the opponent's Most of the information is no longer a black hole in the blind spot. As the saying goes, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are ears and eyes." The so-called peerless master who hides in the mountains and forests has become more and more a legend that "brother is just a legend".

So at the end of the film, the biggest gift that Brother Fa gave to Andy was to bring him into the top circle, to hang out with him, and he would take you into a completely different world. The circle is a high-level and exquisite arena. The entry threshold is artificially raised by N times, so the rest are elites, but they can taste the biggest and sweetest part of the cake in the industry. This is what the God of Gamblers and his opponents exist. The world, in fact, which industry is it not?
