Poor play car, rich play watch, how to understand, why?

Let's get to the bottom of it: this is an old saying, as far as I know, the earliest version is: the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and the fool who plays with cameras, which was probably popular in the seventies and eighties or earlier.

At that time, the car referred to the bicycle. At that time, a permanent brand bicycle, a Shanghai brand watch, and a Phoenix 205 camera were probably more than 100 yuan. Two or three months' salary.

Why do you say poor cars? Because the car is a productivity tool, it is much more convenient to have a car for production and life, so the first choice for the poor is to buy a car. Why do you say Fortune Watch?

Because you have to play more than one watch, the really rich people play not Shanghai, but all kinds of Swiss watches imported before the liberation, this thing can't be played at all without a little family background. Why is it silly that plays with the camera? Because after all, photography is an order of magnitude worse than the practicality of cars and watches (accurately grasping time), and it costs money to buy film washing.

Moreover, in the era of full manual + self-washing, it is a high-tech thing to shoot a picture with reasonable composition, correct and unwashed, and it looks particularly silly if it is not taken well for people to see. With the development of the times, this word is constantly changing, adding new content. Poor play car, rich play watch because it is too smooth to change, although the car has become a car.

But even today, it is true that playing with a watch is more expensive than playing with a car. It's the silly bird that plays with the camera, and it has evolved to a more smooth silly x back a Lowepro. Forced product placement.

And really play to the 5D D800 series + big ternary + fixed focus + shelf + lights, it's really not much cheaper than the car. Later, he added a sentence that the proletariat plays with computers, and Gaine is indeed cheap to play with computers, and he can play well if he does not have 10,000. After all, the E3+980 is less than half a lens.

Seriously, because for young people, in terms of the degree of necessity of life, it must be the computer "car" watch. Then define what "play" means. "Play" occurs when a person's spending power is just enough to meet the requirements of a certain product.

Back then, a brother who sold computers summed it up very incisively: it is simple to install a good computer, and it is enough to pile up what is expensive. It's easy to install a cheap computer, just buy whatever you want.

The most troublesome thing is not up or down, I want to spend less money but the requirements can't be lowered, so I have to pick and search and fold a little bit of this to make up for that, and then find it back from the power supply, overclocking, and so on. In this context, we define "play" as an act similar to the last case above. To put it simply, it is to compare the best performance, performance, and the scope of application of the product, and comprehensively calculate the cost performance to meet your own requirements, and finally take pleasure in it.

Then the answer is simple. Why don't rich people play with computers? A computer that plays minesweeper can be equipped with 10W up, it is necessary to think about the 970SLI and 980TI single card, which is better?

A big stroke of the pen is a four-way Titan. Simple, convenient, brutal and effective. Similarly, like Fa Ge, who claims to have three Rolls-Royces, you play with him?

Huh. Only when the necessary needs are satisfied, people's desire to consume will finally be projected onto objects that have no practical value, such as watches. Of course, the watch here is just a reference, and it can also be replaced with a series of consumer goods with the same nature, such as cultural relics, antiques, works of art, etc.

A small mechanical device that is less than an inch in size can compete with a car.

In terms of entertainment, in addition to Badgaon and Patan near the capital, there is also Chiwan National Forest Park, going to the forest park with a group is more cost-effective than self-guided tours, comparing several travel agencies, and finally going to ** for 230 yuan, three days and two nights including food, accommodation and play, car pick-up, and full-time tour guides.

Experience:

Nowadays, it is becoming more and more popular - at the Democracy Lake Forum of Chongqing University, a female college student with the online name "Deep Sea Wheat" played in Nepal for 11 days for 1,600 yuan, becoming a backbone figure of poor play and becoming famous in the poor play world in one fell swoop. In addition to playing Nepal, she also used to play Xi'an for 400 yuan and Sonam Dajie for 700 yuan, which is almost one-fifth of the cost of ordinary play.

The following is "deep-sea wheat" - Zhang Ting, a graduate student majoring in major communications, told reporters about her experience of "1,600 yuan in 11 days in Nepal". After getting a visa (visa fee waiver) in Lhasa, take a 65 yuan shuttle bus from Lhasa to Shigatse, and then take a 200 yuan shuttle** to Zhangmu on the border of China and Nepal.

Because now anyone can afford to buy a car.

Even expensive cars can be paid for in installments, and everyone can afford them.

As for watches, it seems that they are all one-time payments, and the watches worn by rich people are tens of thousands of yuan, and some are hundreds of thousands.

Because the car is valuable and can be used for transportation, even if it costs a million to buy a luxury car, it is worth the money, and it can support the façade more, and there may be more luxury cars that grit their teeth and take out loans to support the façade, so they are relatively poor. And spend a million on a Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet... Ordinary people don't know it, they can't put on a façade, it's really just a hobby, that kind of money is really a lot of money and don't care, not to mention that there are more tens of millions of luxury watches, some people have hundreds of thousands of luxury watches at home, adding up to billions of dollars, this is a real local tyrant, not at all a person who buys a luxury car can compare.

General commercial cars, no matter how expensive they are, are also valuable, and some expensive Swiss watches, such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Lange & Söhne and other top watches, a small piece, ** can also be as amazing as a luxury sports car, so there is a joke of "poor cars, rich watches".

Immortal Banban is a kind of vernacular, the folk are saying that, for example, if you look at the TV, many people will play with something in their hands, get some taste, the watch can be appreciated, can you hold the car in your hand, many times people have to nourish their hearts, drink tea, raise fish, raise birds, and taste wine and cigars.

Let's explain it this way, how many cars can a person own? At most, there are dozens of them, let's just say that these dozens are all Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce and other cars, each of which is worth millions of dollars, and what is the total value?

The ** of a top-level watch is also in the millions, and the collection of watches is not dozens, but it may be hundreds to infinity.

The real top rich people are low-key, only the outbreak households and the rich second generation will show off their wealth, and everyone knows the style when the luxury car is driven out, but the people who know the top clocks and watches are all eyesight and identity, and the top people in society play with connotation, focusing on cultivation and demeanor. Seemingly ordinary attire, people with poisonous eyes may be shocked into a cold sweat.

In fact, the poor and rich are not only wealth, but also a layer of identity in it, driving a luxury car to die means that you are rich, but taking a top Vacheron Constantin or Patek Philippe out is not just rich.

Poor people play with cars to survive, get rich, or show off;

Wealthy people play watches for taste, preservation of value or collection.

The car is our current means of transportation, there are many on the road, we are all for the car, for the house in the struggle, in fact, many people buy a car, after buying a house, there is no money, it looks like driving a car is very beautiful, in fact, car maintenance is a problem. And it is precisely such a person, the more he will compare in front of others, what kind of car he needs to have.

And the really rich people also want to buy cars, but they will not regard the luxury of the car as a capital to show off, but purely as a means of transportation, they are in pursuit of a higher spiritual enjoyment. And the watch, especially a superb watch, is a symbol of luxury, status and glory.

To put it simply, the car is our means of transportation and a necessity of our life, so it is a material pursuit, while a watch is not a necessity, it is just a symbol of success and a spiritual pursuit.

Poor play car, rich play watch, fool than mobile phone, two forced to fight the computer Oops ---

"Poor people like to buy cars, and really rich people like to buy watches", this sentence originates from European and American countries, and needs to be understood in combination with European and American cultures.

The rich and poor of Westerners are different from the rich and poor we understand, the rich and poor in the West refer to the level of status, and not simply refer to the amount of wealth, the poor generally refer to the nouveau riche, and the rich refer to the aristocracy.

The more upper-class people are, the more they like to consume things with low practical value and low cost performance. The higher the practical value and the higher the cost performance of the things you buy, then the less you are at the top and the less rich you are. The practical value of a car is much higher than that of a watch.

The value for money of the car is also much higher than that of the watch. So there is the phrase "poor play car, rich play watch".

The consumption outlook of the poor and the rich in the West

In the West, the nouveau riche played with cars was very effective, but for the aristocracy, the effect of playing with cars was very small, because the main place of activity of the aristocracy was indoors, attending various high-end scenes, rather than driving on the road to pass the time.

For aristocrats, no one cares about what kind of car you drive in this kind of high-end social gathering, and in addition to your demeanor and temperament, the only clothes left are watches on men's wrists and jewelry worn by women.

Many aristocrats don't know what kind of car they have, because the car is really not their concern compared to their assets. The care of the car is mainly contracted by a few drivers, and the choice of the car, in fact, is very simple, that is, to imitate the queen, what the queen drives, and match a similar car as appropriate.
