Chapter 118 The real class is what's in your head

When luxury goods no longer distinguish between classes.

True rich people no longer show off their luxury goods.

Because that's lol.

Then what are they showing off, they are talking about, their right to speak, and their brains!

This is also because Xi Ming moved his neck much more than below the neck after rebirth.

If you have money and become awesome, enjoy playing with women and make you happy to be a god below your neck.

I want to die.

But he didn't. He had been practicing the "tourism" above his neck."

So what is the word for talking about?

First of all, the topic of talking is the rich’s way of pretending!

In the richest countries on earth, in the United States, personal cultural capital is the new way for the American elite to consolidate their status and ban other classes of growth.

Today, the richest country on the earth is the first to enter a society that is more expensive than brand-name bags.

At a party, you chat with two young and beautiful women.

The bag that one of the beautiful ladies looked pretty average, but they spoke well, and they actually quoted the analysis of the British general election by the Economist magazine last week.

The second beautiful lady's bag is obviously a famous brand, but she is more concerned about the fate of a 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 knowledge, but also wealth.

This is not because the United States, the richest country in the world, is a fair society, and knowledgeable people must have a high status. But because today's world overlord, the United States is a very unequal society: knowledge is very expensive, and only people with high social status can share knowledge!

From the outside, subscribing to a magazine is not a big expense, but being able to understand this magazine at least means that you have been to college.

You should know that the United States, which is now the world's dominant, has detailed information and data. The annual tuition and living expenses of a good university exceed 60,000 US dollars, and RMB 500,000, which is equivalent to a Mercedes-Benz a year. If a child goes to a private school since he was a child, the whole thing will be a huge sum of money.

The top 1% of American incomes, and families with annual incomes of more than $300,000, account for an average of 6% of their total income; while the proportion of education spending for middle-income families is only 1% free of charge in public primary and secondary schools, so universities may not consider it at all.

Today's Americans are increasingly investing in various "intangible" consumption and investments, better services, better education, best medical insurance, etc.

In other words: If you can spend money on education, it means you must be a rich man. This was not the case in the United States before!

From 2003 to 2013, the price of women's clothing rose by only 6% in the past ten years, while university tuition rose by 80%. Now there are two types of people who can afford to go to college and cannot afford to go to college, and high-quality education has become a privilege for the rich.

Therefore, knowledge in the United States is indeed valuable, but these are all 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 will appear on paper with a mouth.

When you chat with someone at a party and you can talk to an article in the New Yorker magazine, you send a signal. When people of the same type recognize this signal, you may join a new relationship network. This relationship network leads to high-end job opportunities, masters key resources contacts, and private schools. In contrast, it doesn't work like this if you get a package.

What you can say in your head and what you can say in your mouth is the topic of conversation.

This is also one of the reasons why Ximing spent two years studying in the presidential class and returned to university. It not only improved his theoretical ability, but also increased his topic of conversation.

I have further studies at a prestigious business school, which is a topic of discussion.

So what exactly is a topic of conversation?

The topic of conversation is the embodiment of the "cultural capital" condensed in a person.

Nowadays, informal interpersonal skills, habits, attitudes, language styles, educational qualities, tastes and lifestyles are increasingly playing a role in determining a person's social status. People in the upper class who have a lot of wealth have begun to pay more and more attention to topic talks.

If you want to try to get rid of your original social circle and enter a more wealth-like social circle, you are not able to buy luxury goods, buy luxury cars in installments, and buy luxury houses with loans. You can only continue to accumulate cultural capital and make yourself richer in conversation.

This is true for Li Wenhui's study in the Xiamen President's Class, and so is Xi Ming's study.

During the banquet.

From strategic management to production logistics, from international trade to leadership art, human resources, Sun Tzu's Art of War, from finance and stocks to catering and hotels to pharmaceuticals and automobiles, home and building materials...

Xi Ming found that what he was studying in Xia City was completely useful this time.

Finally, I can communicate unimpededly by people of the same level.

After being reborn, he knew that he could become rich by relying on the prophet, but he felt that he could not become rich spiritually, so he chose to further study.

This is true. People at different levels have completely different ways of thinking. Migrant workers are workers' thinking, bosses are bosses' thinking, and they are also boss millionaires, and millionaires have completely different ideas. The biggest difference between people is the difference in thinking. When a person recognizes the difference between himself and others and starts to change his own thinking, he is also on the way of thinking.

That is Ximing's mentality after his rebirth as his wealth increases.

When he was reborn, Xi Ming immediately discovered that the qualities of people at different levels were different, so he always thought about improving his culture, knowledge, quality, and cultivation. In some levels, these things are of little practical significance. You have them but don’t think there is more. However, it is really not possible to not have them when you need them. If you don’t reach a certain level, you can never improve them again. Knowledge, morality, and civilization are the same for a person to play cards and play chess skills. Only by reaching a certain level can you be qualified to compete with experts on the same stage. As long as you compete with experts, you can improve your level.

So in terms of wealth or knowledge, Ximing has been unable to make progress and cultivate his mind over the years. He found that during the conversation, his vision was still higher than that of many people on this table. The businessman Donnixun, who returned to China to develop from the Philippines, made Ximing feel a sense of mutual appreciation.

There is a feeling of being a soulmate.

Because many of their understandings on the overall situation are the same.
