Chapter 277: The Rich in My Eyes
The rich man in my eyes Zhang Baotong 2016.8.24
In recent years, for various reasons, people seem to have some money, but they don't feel that anyone is so rich that it makes people look sideways. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because in our minds and impressions, the rich are always very spirited, living in villas or oversized houses, driving luxury cars, with a wide heart and a fat body, spending a lot of money, living a generous and comfortable life, and everything is different from ordinary people.
However, it was later discovered that in fact, the rich people are not all big bosses and big entrepreneurs, not all of them live in villas and super-large houses, and they do not spend money like water. In fact, they are right next to us, no different from us, they also have their own troubles and worries, and the only thing that makes them different from us is that they are not short of money.
The acquaintance I talked about in "Such a Rich Man", he has several factories, I am afraid that he has tens of millions of family assets, and likes to play mahjong, but he always cares about playing mahjong in the future, every time he plays cards with friends, he always asks others to pay five yuan per person for him, and he has never played table money for others, as if he is a rich man, and others should pay this money for him. So, after a long time, his friends looked down on him. Moreover, because his brother could not repay the money he owed him in time, he found a group of people to beat his own brother to death. This is the richest man I know.
Among the people who played table tennis with me, there were also a few little millionaires, not millionaires, but there were still millions of dollars. One of them is the richest man we have here. He has invested millions in the stock market alone, and he has also invested more than a million in the guarantee company. He played table tennis with us for seven or eight years, but never bought a ball. Table tennis is a kind of consumables, a box of 6, 36 yuan per box, can be used for a week. For those of us who love to play, it's really nothing, because we cost about seven or eight hundred or thousands of dollars for a racket alone. But not only did he not buy the ball, but even the racket and rubber were given to him by us when they were old. However, he also had his own troubles and irritability, and the more than one million people who invested in the guarantee company let the family pay the money and escaped. Although the boss has been arrested, the money will never be returned. Therefore, this incident often made him very upset, and he wanted to jump off the building several times.
There is an old man surnamed Wu in the community, who has run several factories in the past, accumulated a lot of money, bought a lot of houses and distributed them to his children, and also bought cars for his children. It makes people feel that the old man's house is very good. And the old man often shows how rich he is among the old men and their wives. Therefore, the people in the community regard him as a very rich family. However, this old man was a scoundrel who was unscrupulous. He used his youngest daughter to fall in love with others and defraud other people's money, which is said to have made a lot of money. He asked his daughter to fall in love with someone else, and then made it look like he wanted to marry someone right away, asked the family to buy valuables for his daughter, and gave them a bride price. Once he succeeded, he made excessive demands with others to force them to withdraw from the marriage, and then, on the grounds that the others voluntarily withdrew from the marriage and that the others had lived with their daughters, they refused to return the money, goods and bride price. Therefore, his youngest daughter is nearly thirty years old and has not yet married.
There is also a retired CEO of a state-owned enterprise, who used to receive an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan a year, and in addition to buying a relatively large house, he invested all his millions in the stock market. Therefore, the slightest movement in the stock market makes him nervous. He spends almost a day sitting in front of his computer, observing the stock market from moment to moment. In order to better grasp the weather and wind direction of the stock market, he went around on Saturdays and Sundays to attend various stock market study classes and training courses. However, these did not seem to bring him much help, after he made a big profit of one or two million, he did not sell in time, but continued to increase his position, resulting in heavy losses after the stock market crash, not only did not make money, but lost nearly one million at once. So, now he is bent on making up for the losses he has suffered.
We are not as good as Beijing and Shanghai, and it is very good to have one or two million. One of my golfers, who had just retired from a leading position in the railway department, should have two or three million at home. His way of living is really called saving. Every day at noon, I call you and ask him to come over to play, and when he sees my phone, he usually doesn't answer the phone in order to save the two triangular dollars. We often go out to play games, and sometimes, when waiting for the bus is inconvenient, I have to block the bus, but he always has to say to me, "What's the hurry, the bus will come in a while." "So, several times, I saved money like that. In order to save electricity and gas, he always took a small basin to his sister's house in the afternoon to bring back the cooked porridge. In this way, he no longer has to cook porridge in his own home. He strictly follows the prescribed ration every day. The general breakfast is a piece of sweet potato, four dates, and two walnuts. A bowl of noodles was served at noon. In order to lose weight, dinner is basically skipped. Because he has a mantra that says that in the morning you eat gold, in the afternoon you eat silver, and in the evening you eat garbage. In order to save money, he came at nine o'clock every night and had to go to the Wanda Plaza supermarket opposite the community. Because some vegetables or fruits that cannot be sold on the same day will be processed at a reduced price. Therefore, he is optimistic about the vegetables he wants to buy, and he has been waiting, as soon as people announce that they are going to reduce the price, he will immediately grab those dishes in his hands. Once the community sent cabbage. He called his daughter-in-law and lined up to receive it together. After receiving it, I queued up again and received it again. In less than an hour, I got four Chinese cabbages for nothing. The Shanghai Pudong Development Bank distributed a bag of 10 kilograms of rice and 5 kilograms of oil to the head of the household who had deposited more than 50,000 yuan, and he took out 50,000 yuan of money from other banks and put it into the Pudong Development Bank. After receiving rice and oil, he took out the money from the Pudong Bank and deposited it in another bank. Therefore, many people say that he is the most budget-conscious and life-savvy person in our community.
There was a student's parent who owned several stores in the building materials market, and I knew he was very rich because it took at least a million to open a store. Once, he asked me to enroll his child as a new student to thank me. He gave me a King Fleur cigarette. I don't smoke, it's useless to ask for a cigarette, but he just stuffs it in my drawer. Later, I gave the cigarette to a friend. But my friend later said that it was a fake cigarette, which made me lose face. After that, he came to me again to help his second child go through the school fee payment procedures, which required 5,000 yuan. But he said that he had just taken over a project, and he immediately had no money in his hand, so he asked me to borrow 5,000 yuan from him. As soon as I heard this, I said what a joke. You're the big boss, borrow some money from me. He couldn't help it, so he went to borrow money from someone else.
Actually, I don't usually meet many rich people, but judging from the rich people I have met, their living conditions are really different from what I imagined of the rich. Because most of my impression of the rich comes from movies and literature. And the rich people in movies and literary works always live in deep courtyards, dress extremely exquisitely, spend all day drinking, spend money like dirt, and have the style of a son or master. However, the rich people in real life are not what I am. They actually save more money than me, an average working-class person, in terms of living and expenses, and they value money more seriously. But it is our children who really dare to spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money, and it is very common for them to spend one or two thousand yuan on a dress or a pair of shoes. Before they earned a few dollars themselves, they dared to spend more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car. This may be because they are spending their parents' money and are not feeling distressed. If they spend their hard-earned money, I don't know if they dare to spend so much money like this. However, I guess at least most wealthy people don't do that. Because the rich actually value money more seriously, they will live more economically. (To be continued.) )
