The day before yesterday, I was chatting with a friend, and he told me: 'Now 80% of the business in the country is just copying what has been left over from abroad.'

Take him for example; last year he gathered and edited funny pet videos from abroad, re-edited them with background music, added Chinese commentary, and posted them on domestic short video platforms. Once he gained a lot of followers, he started linking pet products, and on Double Eleven, he made a pure profit of nearly 20.

He said that nowadays, making money isn't that hard, and the logic of earning money has long changed.

Let me list a few examples:

1. Spend 200 yuan on a foreign creative writing website to buy a bunch of story outlines, translate them into Chinese with translation software, combine them with popular domestic themes, and then have AI polish them into a novel, serialized on domestic novel platforms.

Once he accumulated a certain level of popularity, he started paid readings, and after a few months, he earned nearly hundreds of thousands.

I saw on Xiaohongshu that someone moved a foreign handmade clay figurine tutorial, downloaded it without the watermark, translated it into Chinese, and sold it on Xiaohongshu for 99 yuan, with 2580 orders sold.

2. Someone discovered that a niche foreign fashion brand's retro glasses were very unique, contacted the brand for agency rights, and sold them on Xiaohongshu, buying them for 50 yuan abroad and selling them for 200 yuan on Xiaohongshu, with considerable profit.

Some people are in the foreign second-hand market, spending 100 yuan to find some vintage vinyl records and selling them in the domestic retro music enthusiast circle for 300 yuan each, with many people bidding up the price to get them.

3. A teacher went to a foreign education website, spent 300 yuan to sell a set of science experiment course materials, translated them into Chinese, optimized them with domestic textbooks, and made them into an online course, selling one course for 199 yuan, attracting many parents and students to enroll.

In this world, in fact, 95% of wealth is hidden in information gaps. While you are still complaining about the bad environment, others have already made a fortune from the information gap. With 1.3 billion people in China, there are 1 billion people who have never been on a plane, and the information gap is unimaginably large.

Making money is about finding demand and supply, then matching them, and finally looking for price differences to profit from.

2025 is the era of one-person companies, looking forward to evolving with you.
