In the afternoon of Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn't go home empty-handed, so I went to the fruit shop and bought some fruit in gift boxes that I usually didn't want to eat. It's reasonable and expensive, and it's really beautifully packaged and tasteful. After I went, only my uncle and aunt were very enthusiastic and called me to sit down quickly. Then my aunt was busy cooking, and my uncle and I watched TV on the sofa. After chatting with my uncle, I realized that he was so rich, with several facades in Pudong and several commercial houses in the community. Several communities are very famous. At that time, house prices were all in the tens of thousands of flats. They are all compensation for demolition. I estimated in my mind that there are several hundred million fixed assets.
The old man has a son and a daughter. His daughter got married early and seldom came back. His son is abroad. Usually, the old couple are active, wearing ordinary clothes and having no money at all. They feel like an ordinary old man in Shanghai. Usually ride a small electric car, buy food, go to the supermarket and occasionally buy some discounted goods.
The old man has endless money, but he is lonely. His son, daughter, grandson and grandson are all outside. They are completely lonely old people, and they have no relatives. I am quite puzzled about this. Supposedly, the old man is old Shanghai, so there should be many local relatives and nice people. How can he not communicate with his relatives?
I have to go back to my home in Shanghai, where I can't stand, and I am an only child. I had a drink at my father's house before I left, and I forgot how much I drank. I only vaguely remember that he was a little sad and kept telling me that he would go to Shanghai often and remember to visit him. Don't worry, there's no place to live. He has a house. This time, it's free.
In fact, what the old man wants is not so much money, but the company of his family.
1. I used to work in a financial company, and my office was in an office building. The company HR recruited online and invited a cleaning aunt to clean up. The salary is very low, only more than 2,000 a month, but she happily agreed to come to work.
She cleans the office carefully every day. We can't bear to see her in her fifties wearing a simple job. Once I couldn't help but advise: "Auntie! Aren't you tired of cleaning at your age? You should be happy when you are old! " She smiled and said, "You can't be idle when you are old. Do something every day to make them strong! " . I then asked, "Do you still have to work to subsidize your family when it is so difficult at home?" She quickly waved her hand and said, "No! I don't want to stay at home every day. I want to come out to do a job and sometimes chat with you. It feels very fulfilling and comfortable. " , I don't advise, guess she may have a room!
Later, because of a bad debt, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. The boss is anxious like a cat on hot bricks, looking for someone to pull financing everywhere, but it is still a drop in the bucket and nothing can be done. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. The company suddenly got a lot of financing and resumed normal operations. We were all shocked when the boss revealed the truth. It turns out that Aunt Bao Jie contributed1000000 yuan to become a shareholder of the company. She doesn't want to lose her job. She is a local relocated household, with more than 70 properties for rent, and this10 million is only a suite she sells.
One day, a high-grade building opened near the company. In the afternoon, I used my spare time to open my eyes. As soon as I entered the sales department, I felt tall. After turning around, I was even more amazed that this is the consumption standard of the rich. I'm just waiting for the people to get out of here with inferiority. At this time, a middle-aged man came in at the door, his face was dark and his clothes were torn and dirty. After seeing it, the security guard came over and stopped the man and said, "Stop! We are the sales department here, and we have to beg to go somewhere else. " The man was stunned and said, "I'm here to buy a house!" " Embarrassed, the security guard cried and found a shop assistant. The salesman looked at the man and refused to take him to see the real estate. After reading it, the salesperson said contemptuously: "We are a high-end real estate here, with a suite of several million. Can you afford it? " You'd better stop joking and have a psychological examination! "The man just said simply," I want all three buildings, and I will make a cash transaction tomorrow! "Say that finish, the man went straight away, leaving only the expressions of consternation of the shop assistant and the security guard.
The next day, the man wore a suit and tie, took several armored vehicles and threw the money in the sales department. The salesperson was guilty and counted with his colleagues for a day before finishing the inventory. Never judge by appearances. It turned out that the man was a coal boss. He just came out of the coal mine on the first day and came to buy a house before he could clean up.
It's hard to say how low-key you can be. There is no upper limit for local tyrants to show off their wealth, and there is no lower limit for the rich to keep a low profile.
Tell me about the little rich woman I met.
My college roommate is a lovely girl. I still remember when we first met, she was slightly fat, with short brown hair and round-rimmed glasses, and she spoke humorously. Her father is a professor in a famous university, and her mother is in charge of the finance of a foreign company. She never said this, and I only found out after filling in her personal information once. We have the same personality, so naturally we often play together. At first, I didn't pay attention to the brand of her clothes and cosmetics, because she seldom went shopping and bought them herself. In fact, she is just lazy, and usually her aunt buys it for her.
One day, she finally agreed to buy her own clothes. As soon as I came back at noon that day, she was very angry and complained to me that she had met the spicy chicken agent. I asked her what was going on and refreshed my cognition.
"This purchasing service is so lame. It was said that it was available ten days ago and has not been delivered yet. "
Maybe something happened temporarily. Do you want to change it? ""
"No, I really fell in love with this T-shirt at the first sight, and once customized, I can't return it. Another company has it, but it doesn't include tax. Alas, this efficiency is simply sorry for the thousands of dollars it charges. Forget it. I'll wait.
"Thousands?" I thought to myself that she might be wrong. After all, people who usually spend half a dollar are willing to buy thousands of T-shirts.
One day, she knocked over the small table, broke two pieces of cosmetics and broke her lipstick. The next day I went to the counter and bought the same ones, Estee Lauder and Mac. I remember her swiping her card without blinking. Then I bought Nick's shoes and Adi's sweatpants. Like flowing water, try it at first sight and buy it when you are finished. Is this still the same as the old bus to save a few taxi money? Is this still the poor girl who cries every day? It turns out that her poverty is that her pocket money has changed from ten thousand to several thousand.
Later, after much contact, I found that she was crazy about playing games. The keyboards are cherry MX board and pirate ship, and thousands of games have been played. In order to pursue the game experience, I bought three headphones. She is also persistent in doing things. She has a small box, about 50 inches high and 50 inches wide, which is full of those little people. She likes singing very much. Jay and JJ have been to several concerts, and they are all in the front row. She also likes traveling very much, and almost all of Europe has traveled around. I always tease the little rich woman that her life is moist, and she says that you don't understand the troubles of the little fat woman.
Yes, she often calls herself a little fat woman, but she is actually slightly fat. During the summer vacation, she called me and cried that I was too tired. I look puzzled. Later, I learned that it was my aunt who invited a personal trainer to train the devil every day. However, she insisted on taking a holiday, and the overall temperament changed obviously after school started.
Some people say that the degree of food and clothing is quite extravagant. Where is the low profile? I have to explain here that her low-key is reflected in dealing with people. She never talks about so-called famous brands, although she has several Chanel series. There are many books in her family, and she also has a lot of knowledge, but she never says it in front of everyone, but writes it down silently. When others bragged about traveling abroad, she kept smiling instead of throwing out a bunch of visas.
In short, over the years, in everyone's eyes, she was just an ordinary little girl who shopped around for fruit to save fifty cents, and a small partner who ate roadside stalls with us.
The richest man I have ever met, very low-key.
I met a relative at his party. It was a wedding reception. Because he is adjacent to my desk, I will pay attention to it. Because he is so strange, others chat, he lowers his head to eat, others drink, he lowers his head to eat, and he doesn't talk unless he makes a toast. During the toast, we talked a few words. We knew his surname was Chen, and then he was a friend of the groom, but none of the other friends of the groom knew him, which was embarrassing. Later, I finished eating. In my impression, he seems to have left the first few.
Because the groom can be regarded as my cousin, and then I talked to him. He said that the man who had been eating was his boss.
I was shocked at that time because the groom was very good in our relatives' circle. I heard that my cousin is the secretary of the deputy general manager of a fortune 500 company. In that case ...
Besides, the groom also told me that his boss lent him four Lamborghini cars as his wedding car. Think about the domineering of a car at that time, and there are still some regrets.
I regret missing a billion dollars. If you can get to know each other, you may have a successful career. Unfortunately, I believe I can do it, as long as I work hard and try again!
Thank you Wukong for inviting me to answer. Let me talk about some rich people I have contacted:
1. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to work in a wholly American real estate company. This company was founded by Chinese Americans who returned to China, and the government gave them quite favorable conditions. Because the major shareholder first developed the first phase of the project and transferred the recovered funds abroad, the company's capital chain was broken and internal shareholders were in conflict. A very good company stopped production for three years.
After I came to the company to understand the situation, I tried my best to revitalize the company. Three years ago, the company borrowed 30 million usury from a boss and mortgaged some properties to the boss. The boss owns two buildings in the company and can't sell them. I went to the boss's subordinates several times and asked for the return of the property, the sale and the repayment of debts. He didn't show up for half a year. After repeated negotiations, I finally met the famous rich man. We talked alone for two hours and finalized the plan.
I learned about his family history while drinking tea. In the early days of reform and opening up, he did seafood business in the coastal areas, and with some smuggling, he made a fortune, with hundreds of millions in his hands. This man is 60 years old and dressed simply. He usually rides an old bike with a permanent brand and no paint. No matter where you go, no one looks down on these two old bicycles. It tastes simple. A dish and a bowl of rice in a roadside snack bar looks like a rural migrant worker. He is usually very low-key and very nice. I contacted him several times, but I was as blind as a bat. It was not until the last signing that he showed his true colors and repeatedly told me not to expose my identity.
2. When I was working in a gold mine, I met a billionaire, Boss Kim. When it comes to his name, it can be said that everyone in this city and its subordinate counties and cities doesn't know him, but few people have really seen him.
The gold mine where I am located, because the bank loan is due, must be repaid first and then loaned. In desperation, my boss and I found him and contacted him to temporarily borrow 50 kilograms of gold to realize it. He didn't see anyone, only allowed me to see it myself. I came to an unremarkable single-family building and rang the doorbell. An old man dressed like a janitor came out. I asked him, "Is so-and-so there?" He asked my name and shook my hand. I looked at him warily and said, "Is Mr. XXX there?" He said, "Would you like to go with me?" I followed him into the room. He took me all the way through several doors to the back room, sat me down and said, "Wait a minute." He said on the intercom, "Please send the gift." While I was wondering, two young men held two boxes in front of me. After they quit, he opened the box and said, "This is all your inspection." After I finished watching it, he called two boys in and asked them to send them to my car. I walked out of the room with two boys. He put me in the car and I watched him go for a walk by the sea with his hands behind his back. In fact, I didn't know he was the boss of gold until I had dinner with him several times. I once asked his boss, and he said he was a relative. I didn't know he was a famous gold boss until I went to get the gold.
I plan to build a medium-sized hospital in a city. My boss doesn't have much money, about 200 million. He invested in building a hospital. I have been with him for three years. He has a Mercedes and an old Santana. He usually drives a Mercedes when he goes to the government and important occasions, and I go out alone with him to drive Santana. Usually, people are very hospitable. When asked about him, he said that he worked for the country and didn't earn much money.
In the past three years, I have treated basically all the people who come forward to handle affairs, but he usually doesn't come forward. When he met a special guest, he just came out to talk in the coffee shop. When it's time for dinner, he's gone, and I'll receive him. I'll tell you a story about treating guests: We treat guests in an upscale hotel. He drove an old Santana into the hotel, and we just got off at the door. The security guard at the door said, "Who told you to drive to the door of the hotel? You are bankrupt!" " Hehe called him a driver, and I said, "Drive away at once." At this time, the hotel manager personally came forward and held out his hands to shake hands with him. The manager glanced at the security guard and said, "You should be polite in the future. All the people who come to my house are noble people! " We went into the private room together, we invited a special person, the three of us sat down, and the chef next to us cooked. He said to the guest, "I'm full." You eat. " I know very well that I only eat two plates of Macao barbecue and don't like seafood. We went back to the apartment and I said, "We're not full yet. What do you want to eat? " He went over and said, "You can't get enough to eat after me. I have instant noodles here. How about a bucket and two sausages per person? " We chatted while eating instant noodles. I said, "Everyone says you have money, so can't you prepare something delicious?" He said, "After following me for three years, you still know me. Actually, I have money. Let's go out alone to comfort you. " I went over and said, "Come on, I'm kidding. You are poking your finger. Not waste inside and outside! " "We laugh it off.
In fact, rich people are very low-key As the old saying goes, it is not easy for people to make money because they are afraid of being famous and strong. They are more industrious and simple, never show off themselves, and live in downtown areas like ordinary people. Maybe you have a few billionaires around you, maybe you don't understand.
When I was a child, my father took me to Beijing to play, and an uncle came to pick us up. It's sweet and simple to wear. At that time, I especially liked skipping. He and his wife have been following my ass and don't bother me at all. They are not only low-key but also caring. I thought they were just ordinary uncles. Later, I learned that they were Professor Tsinghua and had a suite on the Second Ring Road. . . . . .
Real rich people don't show off, because they don't lack. In fact, the rich people I know are very low-key, and they are constantly learning and improving themselves. People with high academic qualifications usually have very good family conditions, rather than the rich second generation of playboy as we understand it. The fact is that they are handsome, rich, highly educated and well-cultivated. Those arrogant rich people are mostly nouveau riche.
An aunt of my father's friend invited me to visit her home, because I had met several times before. I wore Adi, Nike and Metersbonwe Bang Wei Bang Wei, but I didn't even wear Dior or Prada! It gave me the impression that I was next door, so I put on my sweatshirt to see her. As a result, I saw a luxury car parked at the school gate and didn't care. I kept calling her. People drove directly to me and said, Xiao Liu, get in the car. I was in a bad mood.
She kept apologizing to me on the way, saying that she was a little busy today and asked me to stay upstairs first. I think so.
Anyway.
After she opened the combination lock, I realized that things might not be simple. After the car stopped, I looked at the dazzling array of luxury cars in the garage and said, there are so many cars. She glanced at them and said nothing. After we came in, she pointed to a row of car keys on the wall and said with a smile, those outside are my house. My expression at that time was probably
After entering the door, I found an elevator besides the fifth floor. Besides the elevator, people also built a yard and planted several fruit trees. . . . . My mood at that time was probably
Finally, when she opened the home theater and dragged me into the massage chair, I was already like this.
So, don't underestimate everyone around you who dresses simply. Perhaps, their value is beyond your imagination.
The richer people are, the lower their profile is, and they are more modest because they know that "a big tree attracts the wind".
Tell me one thing, my relatives told me. Relatives' acquaintances are from Wuhan, with a well-off family, two suites of about 2,000, and millions of deposits. My son has been dating for several years, but I always feel that the woman can't be too poor. Two years later, I suddenly got married. The bride was actually an object of his previous blind date, but the bride's family was too low-key to tell him so much. After a period of separation, the boy thinks this girl is better. Although he was a little poor, he had a good temper and decided to fall in love with this girl. I didn't know until I got married that that woman left his family a lot of money.
The woman's ancestors were big landlords in the Qing Dynasty, and she was frightened until the generation of the girl's father met with the Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, some property was not confiscated, so her parents built houses on the land for rent, and some land was bought by the government. After getting the compensation, they bought a house, mainly a small house of about 30 square meters. As long as you get paid and save enough money, you will buy it. In about 90 years, there will be more than a dozen small apartments and several facades. Around 2000, Wuhan took the lead in demolishing small apartments, replacing 30 square meters with about 80 square meters (I collected some money myself) and continued to rent them.
The boy married his daughter, and his parents-in-law retired as ordinary workers, asking her to find a job. The girl works as an accountant, which costs 3,000 yuan a month. But the girl says that if she doesn't go to work, people will be lazy. With more money at home, she has to go to work and can't be divorced from society. At this time, her mother-in-law said that her family's rent alone is one million, and her daughter's pocket money is ten thousand every month. Her family is worried about how to spend 10 thousand yuan every day This frightened the boy.
Now that ten years have passed, Wuhan has developed rapidly and the subway is developed. I heard that my girl has been demolished again. It must be getting better and better.
Share two real events:
1, 15 summer, worked as a real estate agent in Haidian, Beijing. At that time, a new property opened, and the average price of this property was about 25 million. A colleague and I handed out leaflets at the door of the sales office, as well as other rival companies and many colleagues. At noon, an uncle wore a white loose triangle vest with two small holes in the front, ordinary shorts and cold shoes.
"Grandpa, do you want to see the house?"
"Well, I'm just looking around."
"There is a project opening here today. Do you want me to show you? "
"Well ... then go and have a look."
Then grandpa pushed his bike and went to the sales office with my colleagues and bought two sets, with a total price of 5 1 10,000. ...
I am still in Beijing, and I am a client of a colleague. I heard it from my colleagues, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. This customer's aunt, about 50 years old, is very ordinary and easy-going. She may not have come to lunch in a hurry. When she arrived at the sales office, she took two boxes of biscuits from the water bar and kept eating them. She sat on the sofa in the model room, covered with biscuits. The property consultant ignored her and kept looking at the house.
The richer you are, the lower your posture will be. ...
My uncle.
My uncle, a Beijinger, caught up with the demolition in the suburbs, divided five houses and gave hundreds of thousands of demolition money. Live one for yourself and one for the only child. The remaining three sets are for rent. According to the current market price, the average price of a two-bedroom apartment is around 5000. The rent for three houses is 15,000 a month.
He works in a state-owned enterprise. He is an old worker and has many advantages. Rice flour oil, washing powder, toilet paper and so on. Basically, they are all issued during the Chinese New Year holidays, and you don't have to buy them at home. My aunt teaches in a middle school.
The old couple have always adhered to a frugal lifestyle. Their car has been driving for 10 years, and all the household appliances at home have to be worn out before they can be replaced.
Anyway, in my opinion, my uncle is very picky. Obviously rich, life is the same as when there is no money.
One day, I helped him clean the house at his house. My aunt finally made up her mind to clean up all the "garbage" at home. My cousin and I cleaned out the clothes in the closet, the books in the bookcase and all kinds of newspapers and magazines. I rummaged through a biscuit box.
Something like this
Then I opened it and found all kinds of thank-you letters and donation receipts.
Some people are full of spirit. Spending more money is more important than spending less.
There is an adzuki bean in our village who didn't graduate from college. She is 28 years old and goes home to build a farm. After several years of bumper harvest, she is now the female boss of hundreds of farms, and her annual income keeps pace with that of medium-sized enterprises in first-tier cities.
But she kept a low profile. Last year, she bought a private jet and several small houses, but these are not planes that can fly to the sky, nor small houses that can live in people, but some small toys that she bought for Ersao's children.
The clothes she usually wears are small brands, not to mention gold and silver. Even rings used to be made of coins.
Last Spring Festival, every household in the village gave out two bags of rice and a bottle of cooking oil. In order to thank her, the villagers named her "Doosan Man".
The real richest woman instantly makes me feel the same as my personality, but with different fate. When she had a bumper harvest, I wandered the streets. When she was admired by thousands of people, I was spurned by the audience. When she was under tens of thousands of people, I was alone in the wind and rain.
This time! Two words, expressed my deep feeling "miserable"! miserable
