This is normal. Low-key and unpretentious has always been the nature of Cantonese people. Don't you see that people tease Guangdong's red envelopes every New Year? Because the red envelopes here are profitable! Kindness, boss! If you walk in the streets of Guangdong, you may meet many people wearing vests and flip-flops, and many old ladies and gentlemen who sell vegetables in ordinary clothes all day! But don't underestimate them, maybe they are still multimillionaires! Selling vegetables may have tens of thousands of yuan in rent income a month! These can only show that Cantonese people are low-key! Not as flashy as you northerners! Most people are proud to see you coming home from your holiday. Luxury car cigarette Maotai is everywhere, but Cantonese people are really so low-key.
Besides, a car is basically a means of transportation. Of course, a relatively good car will have better comfort and safety. Everyone knows this truth, but the rich don't. However, due to the influence of traditional ideas, many people still buy cars mainly on strength and practicality, unless they need to buy famous cars in some advanced occasions, generally Japanese or joint venture brands are the main ones. Personally, I think the car is enough.
Rich people fly helicopters, Porsche, Maserati and BMW in Guangdong.
Those Japanese cars on the street are bought by the petty rich, the working class, or people who are worried that others will look down on them, because they can't let go of their face and see that others have cars, but they don't.
Of course, there are some used cars that you want to spend as little money as possible but earn enough face.
Guangdong people's money is in the hands of officials and individual big companies, big factories and real estate developers. Ordinary people don't have much money, just because someone adds up all the money in Guangdong Province and divides it by the number of people to figure out how much money each person has on average, so people think that Cantonese people have money.
In fact, there are many poor people.
Those cars on the street are just for convenience, for people to have me, for face, for not being laughed at because there is no car, so I bought a patchwork one.
Cars on the street can't be used as a standard to measure whether Cantonese people are rich or not.
Because cars will depreciate, smart people will not invest a lot of money in them. No matter how beautiful the car is, it will be gone after ten years of driving, and it will not preserve its value.
So we see whether Cantonese people are rich or not: Cantonese houses, Cantonese antiques, Cantonese jewelry, Cantonese companies and Cantonese stocks.
Only on things that can actually hide wealth can we see whether Cantonese people have money.
Cantonese people keep a low profile. No matter rich people or ordinary people, they all show pragmatic and low-key in life. Many rich people will use cars as a means of transportation, so 200,000 Japanese cars are a better choice.
Let me analyze the reasons:
Guangdong people's money has other uses. With the help of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, many Cantonese people became rich first. In the 1990 s, many people who worked in hardware stores, opened grocery stores and raised fish became 10,000 yuan households early, and later transformed into factories to do business and accumulated a lot of wealth. These people's families are not very high, but they do have tens of millions of levels. This crowd is very big in Guangdong.
The consumption habits of these people are pragmatic and conservative. After all, they grew up in hardships and knew that money was hard to earn. Therefore, in terms of expenditure, they are more likely to buy value-added properties or build their own houses. So in Guangdong, we see more luxury "houses" in the countryside. In addition, Cantonese people are very willing to invest in educating their children and supporting their parents.
Nowadays, many parents spend more money on their children's education than on themselves. Therefore, for the role of the car, it is more inclined to a means of transportation. Naturally, it will not pursue too luxurious cars, but practical and fashionable Japanese cars.
200,000 Japanese cars just share Japanese cars, which is very popular in Guangdong Province. Not only do people with average incomes buy Japanese cars to save fuel, but many rich people, that is, people with tens of millions of net worth, also like Japanese cars.
Japanese cars have many characteristics that Cantonese people like: stylish, generous, spacious and durable, especially large space and durable air conditioning, all of which Guangdong people like. Among these cars, there are several civilian Japanese cars, which are especially popular with wealthy people in Guangdong, including Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
Of course, 65,438+0,000% rich people use Japanese cars in a low-key way. In recent years, in addition to the above considerations, many people will also consider application scenarios or safety, and then buy a more luxurious non-Japanese car, which is also a feature of many family cars.
These are my views. If you have different opinions, please leave a comment.
Answer this question with interest,
1. There are so many rich people in Guangdong, not everyone has money, and a large part of them are working-class and office workers. This group accounts for the majority, and it is not bad to drive a car of 200,000.
2, you don't have to use luxury cars to advertise if you have money! People with luxury cars are not necessarily rich! The car is just a means of transportation, and the real rich people's cognition of the car is no longer the embodiment of wealth. The questioner's growth environment may be ten years behind Guangdong!
One of my classmates has 60 sets of commercial houses in Guangzhou, while others buy houses by the set. He owns a house and owns two companies, so he drives an old Crown with a full-time driver.
Our company rented three buildings outside for staff quarters, each with eight floors. The landlord drives CRV and his wife drives golf.
What is more exaggerated is that there is another customer who has more than 10 million in the stock market. He runs his own business and travels around by motorcycle. More than 60 years old, no driver's license. He is happy every day.
3. Guangdong people's consumption concept is pragmatic, and affordable things are good things. Therefore, the local people don't explain clothes, cars or even houses, but they are particular about eating.
As for Japanese cars, they entered Guangdong as early as 1980' s and left a good reputation when they were smuggled and imported. Later, the main production base of Japanese cars was also in Guangdong, which had inherent advantages. As for durability, value preservation and fuel saving, horizontal comparison is not an absolute advantage now.
Rich people in Guangdong also like luxury cars. Others like practical and durable cars, which have low cost and can be used instead of walking.
This is a false proposition. Guangdong people have more money but less. A car is basically a means of transportation, but a relatively good car will have better comfort and safety. Rich people don't understand this unless they don't pursue the quality of life. I think the car is enough.
The rich are mostly relative. For example, Guangdong has 100 people, including the rich 100 people, and Gansu has 1 00 people, including the rich1person. In proportion, there are many rich people in Guangdong, but on the whole, there are still many low-and middle-income people.
If you have no money, you must buy a luxury car, and the consumption concept varies from place to place. The so-called Japanese cars are mostly joint venture cars, unless they are purely imported. Most of the older generation in Guangdong are thrifty, because Japanese joint venture cars are fuel-efficient and have acceptable performance, which is more suitable for long-term driving. Therefore, most people are still willing to choose a joint venture car. In the eyes of Cantonese, cars are just a means of transportation, not to show off wealth. Guangdong families have been taught to be thrifty and avoid waste since childhood, so they are very economical. Fuel saving is the first choice for Guangdong people. This is the same as the Guangdong people's character, low-key and pragmatic. Cars are just a means of transportation, and Cantonese people pay attention to food. They would rather have a luxurious meal than buy a so-called luxury car, but there is really no big requirement for luxury or not.
In fact, thirty years ago, Cantonese people also paid great attention to face and ostentation and extravagance. Thirty years have passed, my heart is too normal, and I am tired after too much tossing. The road conditions in Guangdong are good, and it is not bad to drive for 20 years. No matter how good the car is, it can't fly and others don't like it. The wage earners in the factory spent money to buy a BMW to show off in their hometown for the New Year. Cantonese people don't have this opportunity. They are at home every day and know who is rich and who is malicious. So just apply it.
