"Do rich people no longer need beautiful wives? Because it's no longer their essential need."
Once you're wealthy, you'll realize, beauty isn't worth much.
Poor guys pursue them, giving all kinds of gifts and red envelopes every day, but they might not even meet.
When a big shot shows up, a big shot really needs to protect themselves.
You've also seen the video of Liu Qiangdong, with that woman's passionate initiative, which is quite shocking.
But it's also quite common that wealthy people's wives have been together with them since they started out; they trust that.
You see I have money and rush forward, but if others also have money?
There are more rich people.
Do you really want Forbes' list to be full of in-laws?
People like Wang Shi are rarely seen.
People like Jiang Fan are also hard to come by.
The competition is fierce...
First of all, for wealthy men, high education, good family background, and beauty in women are also scarce resources.
According to information from Wudaokou Vocational and Technical School BBS, before chasing Milk Tea, Qiangzi was pursuing another beauty from the same technical college, but she disliked him for being too old and didn't agree, so he only pursued Milk Tea.
Think about it, a woman who can refuse a billionaire's pursuit, just imagine how good her family background must be.
Additionally, when Wang Sicong was studying in the UK, he was dumped by his girlfriend because he couldn't bear to buy her a bag.
At that time, Dalian Wanda (the football team) was dominating the country; didn't people know Wanda Group had strength? Not buying a bag and breaking up?
Because his own dad was also rich, he wouldn't spoil little Wang.
Secondly, many wealthy men will have their sons marry daughters of officials; do you think it's a marriage alliance?
Actually, it's not.
This business was originally a partnership between two people; letting the son marry her daughter (or vice versa), then divorcing after a few years, dividing the joint property, and giving her what is owed.
This way, the source of the wealth is legitimate.
There are basically four types of wives for rich men:
The first is those who build their empire from scratch together (most likely not beautiful).
The second is marriage within wealthy second-generation families (most likely not beautiful).
The third is women who help their careers after they become successful (most likely not beautiful).
The fourth is women from noble families when they are poor and have nothing (most likely not beautiful).
The first type has experienced too much; they wouldn't be foolish enough to marry a young, beautiful woman, just spend money to play.
The second type is impossible to divorce; the impact is too great, at most keeping a mistress.
The third type, the spouses are evenly matched, so they don't dare to go out and play.
Only the fourth type is an opportunity for young girls; these men, when young, are strong in career but weak in women, suppressed for too long, and once they are confident, they divorce, with little love experience, so they are easily caught.
Throughout history and across the world, whether in China or Europe, you'll find that noble families marry based on family background first, then looks and liking. But if the family background isn't enough, marriage is absolutely impossible. The so-called matching of social status. Even Princess Wencheng married a Tibetan king.
It's even more so in Europe. Noble families arranged marriages by their parents. This isn't feudal dross; don't say that what's in China is feudal, and what's in Europe and America is good. Don't worship foreign things; they're all the same. European and American noble families also did this.
Marriage involves too many interests; fundamentally, it's about two families because they need to support each other. If the marriage is good, the two families can prosper for another 100 years; if not, they will decline within 20 years. It's not just about one person.
It's the same now.
But most young people today are poor and can't experience the benefits of marriage. But when poor young people want to buy a house, they can feel the financial strength of different families. If the other side has no money, and the family has no money, the cost of buying a house and raising children falls on you, and later, their relatives will also need your family's support; isn't that precise poverty alleviation?
Truly wealthy families will teach their children these social realities. Wealthy big families won't marry poor women. Whether it's Wang Sicong or Li Zehua, they can date or even have children, but it's troublesome, and they definitely can't enter the family.
It's the same now; bosses of listed companies only match their children with those of other listed company bosses.
Don't apply poor guy logic to the wealthy.
Beauty is a luxury for ordinary people; for the wealthy, it's nothing! Not even worth a cabbage.
I definitely can't be considered wealthy. I only went to a business KTV that cost 2.5k yuan; the hostess called in a row of beauties, about twenty, all with long legs and star faces. That night, I saw more top beauties than I had in the past 20 years combined.
Think about it, 2.5k yuan for this level. For truly rich people, what is beauty worth?
The logic for wealthy men choosing wives is definitely not based on looks, because as long as you're rich, beauty is easily obtainable. What they really want is a partner who can complement their shortcomings in career or family education. For example, strong collaboration in business, or a woman with high IQ who can improve the next generation's intelligence genes.
Helping to pass on the family wealth is the most important!
Because once you're rich, there are so many women actively approaching you. No need to seek them out; women who flatter you are countless. I once saw a GIF of Principal Wang sitting on a sofa, with a pretty girl sitting beside him, and two women dancing passionately in front of him, but he looked expressionless.
Once you're rich, there are so many women actively approaching you. No need to seek them out; women who flatter you are countless.
The reason rich people become rich is because they have good investment vision! Their partners are also important resources; the lady of the house is their treasury, which tests their judgment! Look at the story of Cao Dewang and his first wife, and then look at those big shots who married female stars, went bankrupt, went to jail, or lost their official positions! Look at the wives of those in power; most have round, chubby faces and plump figures—women with good fortune, women with wealth, women with virtue.
And look at those female stars, with pointed faces and tall, thin beauties—who has the blessing of good fortune? Who has virtue? Wealthy people become rich because of good luck! Besides their family ancestors' virtues—such as filial piety, love of reading, kindness, sincerity, self-discipline, trustworthiness, helpfulness, and often religious faith—they also have fortunate wives: like devoted fans who believe in their husbands without reason, standing firmly by their side no matter what happens, strong-hearted, enduring hardships with their husbands, never complaining. They are loving, soft-hearted, always smiling, easygoing, a bit silly and naive, not picky, not calculating, peaceful inside. Willing to suffer losses, unselfish, not greedy, with weak desires, willing to help others, often religious. There's a saying: Marry a good woman, and prosperity will last three generations!
