Those who were named the "Four Youths of the Capital" really attracted the attention of the whole city back then. Their arrogance and extravagant behavior have become a great scourge in the eyes of the people in the capital.
And among these four people, the most prominent and eye-catching is Wang Shuo.
Wang Shuo was born in a real estate family, and his father Wang Zhi is a well-known real estate tycoon in Beijing. The abundant family wealth accumulated by the ancestors, coupled with the shrewd investment of the father during the boom of real estate in the mainland, allowed the Wang family's wealth to continue uninterrupted.
Wang Shuo has lived in a hotbed of money since he was a child, and has never experienced the hardships and hardships of ordinary families.
In addition to material doting, Wang Shuo's grandmother pampered him meticulously. As long as he asked, his grandmother almost never refused. Growing up in this environment, Wang Shuo naturally developed an arrogant and domineering personality, believing that money is an extraordinary passport to do whatever he wants.
It is this kind of character that created the amazing deeds of Wang Shuo, Wang Ke, Wang Xiaofei, and Wang Yu who were known as the "Four Youths of Beijing". The four of them did all kinds of evil, arrogant and domineering, and did evil, becoming a scourge force in the capital that made people smell and change.
One of the most memorable is the scene of the fierce conflict between Wang Shuo and Wang Ke on the street. The two sides went back and forth, and the scene was out of control for a while, and even escalated to the point of pulling out guns and confronting each other, and finally could only be stopped by the police.
The scene that shocked the whole city undoubtedly became the best footnote to Wang Shuo's arrogant and arrogant image.
The root of Wang Shuo's arrogance
Tracing back carefully, Wang Shuo's arrogant and domineering personality was not achieved overnight. This starts with his family background and growth environment.
Wang Shuo was born into a wealthy family. His father, Wang Zhicai, was one of the capital's leading real estate tycoons, with a family background dating back to the Qing dynasty magnates.
Wang Zhicai traveled to Hong Kong when he was young, and with his keen business sense, he seized the opportunity of the vigorous development of real estate in the mainland and built the well-known "Wang Fu Century" luxury real estate in Beijing, thus laying the foundation of the Wang family in Beijing.
In the golden age of Wang Zhicai's career, Wang Shuo was born in this nouveau riche family. Since he was born, he has been surrounded by thick money and has never experienced the hardships of an ordinary family.
More importantly, in addition to material doting, his grandmother was even more fond of this only son, and almost met all his requirements.
Growing up in such an environment, Wang Shuo naturally developed an arrogant and willful personality. He was convinced that money was the supreme power, and that wealth could do whatever he wanted to people.
A small episode may confirm this: when Wang Shuo was only 15 years old, the family welcomed a beautiful stepmother Wang Yan.
Poor Wang Yan could only endure in silence. After all, in the Wang family, Wang Shuo is the most favored one, and as a concubine-like existence, where does she have any qualifications to fight back? Wang Shuo's arrogance is so unscrupulous, which can be seen.
The price of Wang Shuo's arrogance
However, Wang Shuo's arrogance did not come without a price. An incident in 2010 can be said to have dealt a severe blow to his reputation.
That year, Wang Shuo and Wang Ke, another character in the "Four Youths of Beijing", had a fierce conflict and confrontation on the streets. It is reported that the root cause of this conflict is that there are some entanglements of interests between the two.
As the two most powerful people in the "Four Youths of Beijing", they are naturally the most competitive and confrontational with each other.
According to eyewitnesses, the scene at that time was described as this: Wang Shuo drove a luxury car on the road and collided head-on with Wang Ke's vehicle. The two sides immediately became angry and got out of the car to fight.
A hand-to-hand fight is about to break out, and no one wants to show weakness. What is even more surprising is that the two sides then escalated to the point of drawing their guns and confronting each other! The muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the forehead of the other side, and a thrilling picture was brewed for a time.
In the end, the situation could only be brought under control by the police who intervened to separate the two people. But this street shootout-like clash took the last shred of decency from Wang Shuo's reputation.
Since then, his image of an arrogant and domineering evil boy who does all kinds of evil has been completely exposed to the public's attention.
What's even more terrifying is that during the search of Wang Shuo's residence, the police also found a large number of prohibited items, as well as indecent photos of secretly taken celebrities in his computer hard drive.
This is undoubtedly the biggest criticism and question of his character.
Soon after this incident, Wang Shuo caused a more serious drunk driving accident. Due to drunk driving, which caused serious injuries to others and was hospitalized, Wang Shuo had to start evading the police.
He fabricated lies and even made his father spend more than 600,000 yuan in hush money in an attempt to escape legal punishment. But this is a way back after all, and it can't escape the close attention of the police.
Wang Shuo is obsessed with pursuing actresses
In addition to drinking and behaving presumptuously, Wang Shuo is even more obsessed with beauty. This rich young proprietor is romantic, and he is entangled with popular actresses, which has become another of his "specialties".
In Wang Shuo's mind, the most lingering is probably the actor Zhou Di. This powerful actor not only has superb skills, but his cold and arrogant temperament makes Wang Shuo crazy and unable to extricate himself.
In order to please his sweetheart Zhou Di, Wang Shuo can be described as painstaking.
Once, at a charity auction, he spent a lot of money to auction a rosewood architectural model worth up to one million yuan at a high price, just to win Zhou Di's smile.
In the face of such a colorful ferry, Zhou Di will inevitably be sideways by this "diamond-like gift".
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, but this flattering "dedication" caused a catastrophic fire. At that time, in order to show off his skills, Wang Shuo lit the so-called "fireworks show" at the scene, but the fire got out of control and finally had to invite firefighters to put out the fire.
Faced with such an embarrassing result, Wang Shuo was still not ashamed, but told the reporter in a choked voice: "Her cold arrogance, her lightness, are so different, I can't resist it!" It can be seen that he is obsessed with Zhou Di.
In addition to Zhou Di, Wang Shuo also spent a lot of money on another popular little flower cow Mengmeng. In order to please Niu Mengmeng, Wang Shuo can be said to have helped her and spent a huge amount of money to create a heroine opportunity for her to be the heroine of a movie.
It's a pity that Niu Mengmeng's acting skills are unfamiliar, and the response to the film after its release was mediocre. What's worse is that Niu Mengmeng herself was of bad character and was arrested for being involved in a drug case.
For such an embarrassing result, Wang Shuo was also very disappointed, and he was overshadowed by her in the end.
The recent situation of the "Four Youths in Beijing".
And the other three who are tied to Wang Shuo as the "Four Youths of Beijing", what is their current situation?
Among them, although Wang Ke was once infamous because of the fierce conflict with Wang Shuo, fortunately, he has a star wife as a strong backing.
With the full support of his wife's strong internal force, Wang Ke was able to barely survive this difficult period and regain a firm foothold in the mall.
As for Wang Xiaofei, his situation in recent years has been terrible. Once upon a time, he was also named the "Four Youths of Beijing", but now he has been repeatedly exposed by the media as a "pseudo-wealthy family".
His love life is also a mess, entangled with his ex, mixed with love and hatred, and everyone knows it.
Among the four, Wang Yu, who is the most low-key, is now the most leisurely. He doesn't seem to be seduced by the temptation of money, and still maintains his nostalgia and persistence for the yellowed love memories of the past, as one of the few clear streams in this group.
The entire group of "Four Youths in Beijing", now only Wang Shuo's whereabouts are a mystery. Since that drunk driving accident, he has been on the run and has not been heard from again.
It is rumored that he has fled first, and has taken his family abroad to avoid trouble, living a luxurious and aristocratic life.
Looking back, the so-called "Four Youths in Beijing" are just a group of self-proclaimed rich children, most of whom live a life of indulgence. They are either arrogant and arrogant, or debauchery and indulge in alcohol, but in fact they are just short-lived losers.
Wang Shuo can be said to be the most prominent and ostentatious of these people. He was already known for his arrogance, and his obsession with money and profligacy reached an outrageous level.
From the absurd thing of slapping his stepmother when he was young, to causing a fire accident in order to please a female star, to fleeing after a drunk driving accident. Wang Shuo's series of behaviors all reveal the vice that money is everything.
However, as the old saying goes: "Lujiang is back in turmoil, life and death are fate." "No matter how great the power of money is, it is not invincible. Wang Shuo eventually had to flee because of the drunk driving accident and became an outlaw.
Even his father, the richest man in the capital, could only spend a lot of money to make connections, trying to get a glimmer of life for him.
Wang Xiaofei, another prominent family, has now fallen to the end of being exposed by the media as a "pseudo-wealthy family". His debauched style of life, coupled with the entangled emotional disputes with his ex, made him lose his last dignity in the eyes of the outside world.
In contrast, the endings of Wang Ke and Wang Yu may be called "better". But in the final analysis, they are all just prodigal sons who are arrogant and lascivious, and now the development of fate is also self-reaping.
The ancients did not deceive me, and if you have money, you may not be able to do whatever you want. The story of the "Four Youths in Beijing" is an expensive lesson, telling us that only by being down-to-earth and restraining luxury can we truly obtain the key to happiness.
