They stepped out of the shiny sedan with a black license plate, their brows showed infinite confidence, and their gestures were as if they were scolding Fang Qiu. Their designer suits could not hide the glory of Rolex or Radar. The hall was already brightly lit, and famous music was playing. They stood, sat, or walked back and forth holding colorful cocktail glasses, chatting in English or other languages. Businesses worth millions or tens of millions are often accomplished overnight in this gentle and polite atmosphere, just like a figure from the upper class with fragrant hair and hair! Who are they? Foreign public opinion says: They are Chinese yuppies.
The appearance of yuppies At the beginning of this century, with the rise of the New Culture Movement, a group of "fake foreign devils" wearing civilized hats, carrying civilized sticks, and speaking foreign languages ??appeared in China. They are incompatible with tradition and claim to be trendy and civilized. This is not so much the prototype of Chinese yuppies as it is a rebellion against China's feudal culture. The century has turned around, and now the re-emergence of yuppies does not have so much "rebellion" and "resistance" elements, but more of a natural "nature" and "should".
Most of them are industrial and commercial giants, leaders in the business world. They were not one or two, but a colony, and it was rapidly expanding.
Most of them have received excellent cultural education, are elegantly cultivated, have scholarly demeanor, have sharp wisdom and extraordinary courage.
Nearly all of them are successful people. Their success is almost always achieved through intellectual content and innovation.
They are the first to be in line with world trends, always trendy, and have romantic and vivid life ideals and life interests.
Besides, they still have money.
The famous Sunshine Hotel in Tianjin has a famous Sunshine Club, which people are accustomed to calling the "Yuppie Club". Anyone who applies to join the club must have a high degree of education or profound knowledge in addition to paying an annual membership fee of 30,000 yuan. The review conditions are extremely stringent. Still, yuppies flocked to it. The club not only provides business and investment consulting, economic seminars, and book publishing, but is also responsible for creating and promoting "yuppie culture." The Wall Street Journal of the United States stated that they are richer than the average intellectual in China. The combination of knowledge and money allowed them to evolve into the elite class of society. No wonder a person in charge of the club made no secret of it: "What we pursue is high-brow and low-key."
With the deepening of reform and opening up, there are no less than 20 clubs similar to the "Sunshine Club" across the country.
Shanghai, known as an international metropolis, is always one step ahead. Various clubs have made the yuppie culture flourish. Influenced by Western culture, Shanghai's elegant culture is more "seafood" and "foreign style". Compared with the traditional "old elegance", Shanghai's "new elegance" is no longer the arty elegance of the leisure class. They have abandoned their "old elegance" and have nothing to do. They soak in music and wine all day long and talk about women and love. Instead, they greet everyone with a positive and optimistic mental outlook and a "whole-hearted smile". A new thing. After tracking and reporting on more than 40 "yuppies", an NBC reporter lamented: "In China, who has designed an overpass or a building and built it himself; who can directly communicate with foreign universities without a translator or secretary?" The consortium negotiates and gains trust; only 'yuppies' can turn their patents or scientific and technological achievements into productivity, put them on the market in a short time, and achieve considerable benefits! "Yuppies and punks live in a baroque building in Shenzhen! Chen Gefei, who lives in a Chinese-style villa, was originally a staff member of the Chinese Writers Association. After resigning, he came to Shenzhen to set up a fairy tale company. He not only studied culture with the eyes of a cultural man, but also calculated the market with the mind of a businessman. He published a 1 million-word fairy tale book at a very fast speed, which was deeply loved by children. When major bookstores across the country were competing to buy this fairy tale, he cooperated with a cartoon production company in Hong Kong to make the fairy tale into a cartoon. While the cartoon was being broadcast on the TV station, he developed a series of fairy tales based on the text and cartoon images. Children's clothing and food. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and the business is getting better and better. He spoke to the cameras of Shenzhen TV: “In the past few years, because intellectuals were too shy to talk about money due to their face, some nouveau riche took advantage of this.
Things are different now. A large number of intellectuals have gone overseas. Once knowledge and money are combined, what will it mean? "There is a story circulating in Shanghai about "yuppies" and "punks" competing for wealth. In the Hilton Hotel's luxurious karaoke room, a wealthy young man who was engaged in home appliance wholesale with "ancestral glory" drunkenly announced after two bottles of Martell. : “I’m paying for everyone’s expenses tonight. "Everyone was delighted, and Young Master Kuo was even more arrogant. The young man, who was quiet and fair-skinned and looked like a scholar, ignored him. He calculated his own expenses, and the waiter refused to charge them, and reiterated Young Master Kuo's generosity. The scholar went straight to Young Master Kuo and handed over the money. Pass it to him. Young Master Kuo was very unhappy and was as surprised as if he saw an alien: "Don't bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart!" The scholar replied: "I will not accept such a condescending gift from you." Mr. Kuo smiled contemptuously: "I'm rich!" Money is the big brother! The scholar said: "It's a good thing to have money. You can't belittle others or elevate yourself if you have money. Others are human beings just like you!" Mr. Kuo laughed: "Don't be sour!" Lao Jiu, I can feed you for the rest of your life with just one little finger! I'll make a reservation tonight! There was a hint of anger in the scholar's eyes: "How much money do you have?" "Kuo Shao laughed even more crazily. He likes to compare his wealth with others. Not long ago, he had a fight with a Taiwanese businessman and threw XO wine. He threw 37 bottles in one breath with red eyes, and he just made the Taiwanese businessman stupid. "Listen clearly. ! I have a business and three private cars! The scholar approached Kuo Shao: "How much is it worth?" ""not much! Three or four million! Haha" "Okay, I'll buy it for 5 million! Amid the astonishment of the other party, he called his secretary: "Go and handle the settlement tomorrow. Except for him, I will buy them all!" "Afterwards, the ignorant young man learned that this scholar from Beijing was one of my country's most outstanding computer experts, an international patent holder, and the CEO of a group company. His name often appeared in newspapers and television.
After all, they belong to two cultures, and different cultural backgrounds shape different life pursuits. Nowadays, those 350,000 yuan for a banquet and 420,000 yuan for a goldfish, you are talking to them in a luxury car
