VietNamNet Bridge – Mobile phones, watches or the “toys” on the
hands of millionaires can show their upper class in an unspoken way. And of
course, they are not less expensive than the multi-billion dong luxurious cars.
The pastimes of the rich
Most of the luxurious mobile
phone brands can be found in Vietnam, from Vertu to Goldvish.
In 2009, Golvish introduced a
Goldvish White gold platina D61 worth one million Euro in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, the mobile phones or
watches worth hundreds of thousands of dollars bearing Rolex or Vacheron
Constantin are not rarely seen in Vietnam.
Especially, the rich are always
the superstitious people, who believe in the significance of the numerals. For
example, a rich man, who possesses a luxurious car, would try to have a
register number plate with the numerals 6789, which is believed to bring luck
to the owner. Of course, he would have to pay much money, up to tens of
millions of dong to obtain such a number plate with wonderful numerals.
The rich in Vietnam have been
described as the “people, who spend money like there was no tomorrow.” They
would not regret to spend big money on the things they like, provided that
things can satisfy them.
The owner of the simcard with the
lucky numbers 0988888888 said some people are ready to spend tens of billions
of dong to buy the super simcard, but he does not intend to sell. Meanwhile, a
lot of other simcards worth of billions of dong still have been traded on the
market, even though the actual value of the simcard is no more than 65,000
dong.
The hobby of collecting lucky
phone numbers and car number plates seems to be similar to the pastimes of the
Arab oil kings.
Like western millionaires,
Vietnamese millionaires like original products. Most recently, one of the 500
Leica MP Hermes has been present in the Vietnamese market at the price of
roughly 500 million dong.
Big guys escorted by beautiful girls
Ha Dung, a well-known musician
and businessman, is one of the famous men in Vietnam whose names have been
associated with famous beautiful girls. Though Dung recently met problems with
his business, when his Indochina Airlines was forced to stop operation after
one year of joining the market, he still has been surrounded by a lot of
beautiful girls, who are models, singers, actresses.
However, if considering the fame,
Ha Dung may be less famous than Nguyen Quoc Cuong, Deputy General Director of
Quoc Cuong Gia Lai Group.
In fact, Cuong, whose nick name
is “Cuong dollar,” had been famous as the boyfriend of some beautiful girls
before he turned up in the public as a businessman. Especially, Cuong has
become more famous in the world after he appeared on international magazines.
Cuong has been introduced in the articles as a young Vietnamese rich
businessman who has a collection of luxurious cars, a beautiful girlfriend and
a habit of spending money like water.
However, the image of Cuong
dollar has changed recently in the eyes of the public. He turned up at the
important events of the company as a member of the board of management. He
arranged the donation trips, or organized the events for the club of people who
love cars.
Analysts believe that a lot of
Vietnamese people are in no way less rich than foreign millionaires. However,
the names of the Vietnamese rich people still have not been added into Forbe’s
list of the world’s billionaires.
The problem is that though
affirming that Vietnamese people are really very rich, it’s still unclear about
the value of their assets.
