Chapter 118: The Real Class Is What You Have in Your Head!

When luxury no longer distinguishes between classes.

The truly rich will no longer flaunt luxuries.

Because that's lo.

So what are they showing off, it's talking about it, it's the right to speak, and what is the brain!

This is also the reason why after rebirth, Xi Ming moves above the neck much more than below the neck.

If you have money, you can enjoy playing with women, and let you be happy and be a fairy from the neck down.

Desire to die.

But he didn't, he kept cultivating his "talking points" above his neck. ”

What exactly is the word for conversation?

First of all, talking about capital is a means of coercion by the rich!

In the richest country on earth, in the United States, personal cultural capital is the new means by which the American elite strengthens its position and blocks the rise of other classes.

Today, the richest country on earth is taking the lead in entering a society where bargaining costs are more expensive than designer bags.

At a party, you talk to two beautiful young women.

One of the pretty ladies was holding a bag that looked pretty ordinary, but she spoke well, quoting The Economist magazine's analysis of the British election last week.

The second beautiful lady's bag looks like a famous brand, but she is more concerned about the fate of a certain character in the TV series "Ode to Joy".

So, do you know the answer, the answer is so clear.

Obviously, the first lady has a high social status, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in terms of wealth.

This is not because the United States, the richest country in the world, is a fair society, and the status of knowledgeable people must be high. Rather, it is because the United States, the world hegemon today, is a very unequal society: knowledge is very expensive, and only people with high social status are worthy of talking about knowledge!

From the outside, subscribing to a magazine is not a big expense, but being able to read the magazine at least means that you went to college.

You must know that the United States, the hegemon of the world today, has detailed information and data, and the annual tuition and living expenses of a good university exceed 60,000 US dollars, which is 500,000 yuan, which is equivalent to a Mercedes-Benz car a year. If a child goes to a private school from an early age, the whole thing is a huge amount of money.

The top 1 percent of U.S. households with an annual income of more than $300,000 spend an average of 6 percent of their total income on education, while middle-income families spend only 1 percent of their education on free public primary and secondary schools, and universities may not consider it at all.

Today's Americans are investing more and more of their wealth in all kinds of "intangible" consumption and investing in better services, better education, the best health insurance, and so on.

In other words: if you can spend money on education, you are definitely rich. This was not the case in the United States in the past!

Between 2003 and 2013, the price of women's clothing rose by only 6% in a decade, while college tuition rose by 80%. So now there are two types of people who can afford to go to college and those who can't afford it, and quality education has become the privilege of the rich.

So, knowledge is indeed valuable in the United States, but it is bought with wealth!

What kind of educational background determines what kind of social issues you will pay attention to. Therefore, when communicating with others, your class status jumps out on the page with one mouth.

When you're at a party and you talk to someone about an article in The New Yorker magazine, you're sending a signal. When people like you recognize this signal, you may be able to join a new network that leads to high-end job opportunities, contacts with key resources, and private schools. In contrast, taking a bag does not have such an effect.

What you have in your head, what you can say in your mouth, the level of which is the talking point.

This is also one of the reasons why Xi Ming spent two years studying for the president class and returning to the university, not only to improve his theoretical ability, but also to increase his talking points.

I have studied in a prestigious business school, which is a matter of conversation.

So what exactly is talking point?

Talking about capital is the embodiment of "cultural capital" condensed in a person.

Nowadays, those informal interpersonal skills, habits, attitudes, language styles, educational qualities, tastes and lifestyles play an increasingly role in determining a person's social status, and people in the upper class with a lot of wealth have begun to pay more and more attention to talking points.

If you want to try to get rid of your original social circle and enter a social circle with a more wealth effect, you can only continue to accumulate cultural capital and make yourself richer and richer.

This is the case for Li Wenhui to study for the president of Xia City, and the same is true for Xi Ming's study.

Between banquets.

From strategic management to production logistics, from international trade to leadership, human resources, the Art of War, from financial stocks to restaurants and hotels to medicine, automobiles, home building materials......

Xi Ming found that the things he had studied in Xia City came in handy this time.

Finally, I can communicate with people at the same level unhindered.

After being born again, he knew that he could make himself rich with the help of the prophet, but he felt that he could not become rich spiritually, so he chose to further his education.

And the fact is also the case, people at different levels of thinking is completely different, the worker is the thinking of the worker, the boss is the boss's thinking, the same boss millionaire, multimillionaire and billionaire thinking is also completely different, the biggest difference between people is the difference in the way of thinking, when a person recognizes the difference between himself and others and begins to change his thinking, people are also on the ladder.

That is the state of mind after rebirth with the increase of wealth.

When he went up the steps after being reborn, Xi Ming immediately found that the quality of people at different levels was not the same, so he has been trying his best to improve his culture, knowledge, quality, and self-cultivation, these things seem to be of little practical significance to people at some levels, you have but don't feel anything more, but when you need it, you can't really do it, and you can't improve it if you don't reach a certain height. The level of chess skills is a truth, only when you reach a certain level can you be qualified to compete with the masters, and only by playing with the masters can you improve your level.

So whether it is in terms of wealth or knowledge, Xi Ming has been unable to forge ahead and cultivate his mind over the years, and he found that in the conversation, his vision is still higher than that of many people at this table, and the businessman Tang Nixun, who returned from the Philippines to develop, made Xi Ming feel a sense of sympathy.

There is a feeling of bosom friend.

Because they have the same understanding of the big picture.
