Looking at the tall vermilion gate in front of him and the large stone lions squatting on the left and right sides of the gate, Li Jin truly felt for the first time how the life of the upper class in Yanjing was different from other cities.
If most celebrities in the port city are known for their luxury and modern life, then in Yanjing, they have a rich heritage.
At least, modern metropolises like Hong Kong City and Shanghai City must not have a place like the Prince's Mansion.
"In the late Qing Dynasty, the old house of a heterosexual Han prince was originally a tourist attraction. Later, it was bought by a big businessman with a rich background and turned into a private club."
Yao Zhijun is very familiar with this place, and his tone is inexplicably complicated, "In Yanjing, it is not uncommon to go to a big hotel for a meal worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Being able to enter a place like this is truly powerful."
"The chef here was originally an imperial chef, and it is not open to the public. Only naturalized members can come in. A membership card has an annual fee of 1 million, which is the lowest level ordinary card."
Li Jin asked: "Uncle Yao, do you have membership here?"
Yao Zhijun hurriedly laughed and said: "You are really flattering me. How can I be qualified? If you want to become a member here, 1 million is the starting fee. The most important thing is to be invited by an intermediate or above member to join."
"If your father-in-law's assets were not in other provinces but in Yanjing, they would be barely enough to become an ordinary member of the lowest level."
"You have to know that the same assets of 1 billion are different concepts in other provinces and in Yanjing. The resources and connections owned by a billionaire in Yanjing are not comparable to those of the same level in other provinces."
Li Jin understood.
In the previous life, there were many rumors about various wealthy clubs in the domestic high-level circles.
For example, in the business circle, Taishan Club, Shuangma and Warwick are all members.
The Yanhuang Club, which is a bit more awesome, is mostly composed of young people from the Yanjing campus, and it is really a gathering of powerful people.
Li Jin remembered that Huo Huanyu was the top diamond member of the Yanhuang Society, and he was ranked very high.
Entering the entrance, you can see the classic Yanjing mansion courtyard layout. A staff member came up and asked politely if you had a reservation and if you had a membership card.
Yao Zhijun named Wu Honghe and said he was invited.
The staff immediately took the two people to the inner courtyard.
The corridors are circuitous and the winding paths lead to secluded areas.
Not to mention the historical and cultural value of this Prince's Mansion, just in the core area of Yanjing, such a large area is an astronomical figure.
To be able to contract this place as a private club, one can imagine how powerful the boss behind the scenes is.
Arriving at a small separated courtyard, Li Jin and Yao Zhijun pushed open the door and entered.
The courtyard is deep.
In this rich and luxurious courtyard, the scenery is elegant, with carefully arranged flowers and plants, and in the center of the open air is an antique round table.
There were exquisite dishes placed on the round table. When the two came in, there were already four men sitting around the round table.
Wu Honghe is in the first seat, and on the left are two middle-aged men in their forties with somewhat similar looks.
On the right is Meng Guotan, whom he has just met. He is carefully sitting on a round stool with half of his buttocks and smiling at Wu Honghe.
Li Jin's eyes only flickered past the faces of the Wang brothers and Meng Guotan, and then fell on Wu Honghe.
And Wu Honghe was also sizing him up.
When Meng Guotan saw Li Jin, his eyes turned red. He suppressed his anger and hatred and said to Wu Honghe, "Young Master Wu, he is Li Jin."
