Chapter 589: About Wealth

"I think you know better that most actors and artists who have a decent income level are also in this class. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"For the wealthy at the bottom, anxiety is their main emotion. Unlike ordinary people, they were able to see first-hand the lives of the wealthy at a higher level. Comparisons are inevitable, and in order to catch up with their wealthier compatriots, the rich at the bottom keep spending and borrowing. I don't need to say this, you understand it better. This phenomenon is very obvious among celebrities. Yes, more serious in Hollywood. ”

"When you have money, you are happy, and you are the ones who have the most say to deny this."

A few people noticed that Miss Stone did not include herself.

"The net worth of middle-class billionaires is between $20 million and $200 million. Life here is much more comfortable, houses are bigger, art is more expensive, and the vast majority of this class has holiday homes. Most middle-class billionaires earn their income from starting small businesses and returning on their investments. Or the senior management of a listed company, the world's top stars and artists. ”

"As an aside, before joining Ning Yun's career, Emma Watson and I were in this class."

Miss Stone smiled wider, looking deep and confident.

Many people wondered what she meant by this, but only Miss Shuri Ueno was convinced that she was speaking to herself.

It probably means that you are still far away, even if you don't have Ning Yun, I am also a top star at the international level.

And you, the poor man who barely managed to get a million dollars and staged a TV series.

"Celebrities are only a few, and everyone here knows that it is difficult for our circle to fit into the circle of ordinary rich people."

"You'll find that the number of entrepreneurs and company owners is starting to increase significantly compared to the wealthy at the bottom. There are more than twice as many entrepreneurs among the middle class as the bottom rich, making it clear that the path to great wealth is ultimately to start your own company and then sell it. ”

"For us, the same rule applies, and without our own company, there is no path to the next level."

Some people only now realize Ning Yun's intention to let Miss Stone guide, she is more suitable than others, and her identity gives everyone more sense of identity.

On the other hand, if you are only satisfied with being a part-time worker, you should give up the luxury of wealth as quickly as possible. Managing your life within your income and ability will make you happier. Luxury, even buying one once in a while, can greatly disrupt the balance of life. Economic balance, more of a psychological balance. ”

The few small supporting characters who said this are related, should they be changed. attitude, no longer expect to sleep to the director?

"In this class, there is much less anxiety because they accumulate wealth faster than they consume, and they don't have to worry about running out of money."

"Life is also complicated in this class, they often have less than ten domestic employees, the necessary domestic manager, that is, the housekeeper. Cooks, cleaners, assistants, gardeners, and workers under the gardener. About 200 to 300 suppliers regularly come to the homes of the wealthy of this class. ”

"You may wonder why you need so many suppliers, I'll give you the example of a friend, she grows grapes, she needs soil specialists, potash specialists. There is a woman who regularly comes to her home to polish the cabinets of her house, and a professional mechanic comes to repair her French faucets. Unbeknownst to most people, it is impossible for A1 Plumber to repair the Etoile series of faucets. These are essential personnel. ”

She often receives emails like asking for approval for the $8,000 replacement of the North Pool ventilation unit. Her list of fruits and vegetables is made by her assistant on an excel sheet, and her assistant even has an excel sheet that records the water temperature of the swimming pool. ”

"I'll give you a common example, which each of us will encounter, if you see a mouse in the house, what would you do, what would you choose?"

Miss Stone gestured, and the actors below discussed for a few minutes.

"Alright, let's move on. The common man's approach is to find a long broom to drive it away. The more aggressive ones use a long broom to destroy it. People who don't go far will use mouse traps or other tools, and people who are caring and thinking long-term may have a cat. ”

"And the way my friend found the rat was to write an email to the housekeeping manager to tell him what was going on. The housekeeping manager then found a company specializing in pest control, which came to her house and caught the rats. The housekeeping manager then instructed the other two household employees to dispose of the rat. So, it turned out that five people instead of one broom solved the rat infestation, which she thought was quite normal at the time. ”

Several big stars are a little familiar with this kind of life, and others are really a little dumbfounded.

The lives of the rich and ordinary people are so different.

Miss Stone waited for the crowd to digest the example before continuing: "Less than half of today's rich people agree with the statement that wealth makes me happier. About 1 in 10 of them believe that wealth poses more problems than it solves. Of course, only 16 per cent of these people are women. ”

Laughter is heard, and the men understand this ratio very well.

The girls didn't have any embarrassment.

"Wealth brings a lot of obvious benefits to the rich, such as self-esteem. power, private yachts and airplanes, and at the same time burdening the rich with many thorny problems that they never thought of in their quest to the pinnacle of wealth. ”

"Wealthy people face family disputes and endless choices, most of which are about investing and worrying about losing all their fortune in the financial markets. They also have multiple properties to manage, multiple staff to supervise, a tidal stream of bills to pay, and checks to pay everything from plumbers to gardeners to art restorers and jewelry consultants. ”

"If you think that money can make life easier, you are very wrong. On the contrary, money only complicates life more. ”

"What frustrates the rich is the ever-present race for wealth. Because no matter what they do, there is always someone who is more successful than him. Most wealthy people have a self-perception that they need twice as much wealth as they do to feel safe. These struggles and worries make the rich a particularly anxious elite. ”

"When it comes to creating wealth, it's not just greed that drives us, it's fear! There is really an inextricable link between fear and greed. If a person is constantly in a state of anxiety, this anxiety is one of his motivations to make money. And we, the group of actors, are always anxious! ”

"The role you have to play, especially the important people of the Bloodline, cannot be without this kind of trouble. So when you build the inner world of the character, you have to take these issues into account, so that the character image can be more complete and fuller. Trust me, you have this subtle emotion that changes your expressions and body movements, and the audience may not be able to tell, but they will definitely feel the difference. You will definitely admire your acting skills. This is very beneficial to the overall sense of substitution of the film. ”

Most of the actors felt the good intentions of Miss Stone and Director Ning Yun.

However, it was at this time that Miss Stone brought something different.

She stood taller: "The top rich are people with assets of more than $200 million. Most people make their fortunes by starting their own companies and then selling them, but recently large CEOs and fund managers, especially hedge fund managers, have been jumping on the bandwagon. ”

Miss Stone was silent for a few seconds, and only then did she smile mysteriously under everyone's expectant gaze: "When you enter this class, your concept of wealth will change radically. You realize that you will not be able to spend all of your possessions in your lifetime, not even a small part, and even if you spend a lot of money, your possessions will still accumulate and grow in the years to come, without stopping! ”

Every actor uncontrollably showed a yearning expression, some were a little shallower, and some were a little deeper.

Shallow does not mean that you do not yearn, and deep only means more desirable.

In front of me, there is a living upper-class rich man, a nasty woman who can't spend all her money in her life!

She doesn't need to be anxious, she only needs happiness.

Her free time was used to show us her luxury, and she stood on the stage and gave speeches without stopping.

No, to be precise, she's teaching us!

So proud!

She was embarrassed to say that she would accept her fate and give up her extravagant ambitions and fantasies!

She was also embarrassed to say that the actor has been anxious, and she is not an actor at all now!

Damn, she must be cool right now!
