He said he feels bad that other German businessmen don't know about this place where people congratulate success and are nice to people who have achieved success. (a socially normal response). He said in this American environment, capitalism, he feels motivated to achieve even more.
And to date, no one has spit on his car since he relocated or even looked at him funny. Instead they just want to talk to him.
Major cultural difference. Socialism decays.

Shit, Germany sounds nice.
1. Buy fancy car specifically intended to show people how rich you are
2. Germans know better than to be impressed by pathetic status symbol
3. Move to USA
4. Stupid Americans slobber all over Ferrari
If impressing strangers with your wealth is what motivates you to achieve, you have something wrong in your fucking head.
