After Qiu Shuzhen got out of the car, she followed Kang Jianfei step by step. When walking in the aisle of the nightclub, she couldn't help but asked carefully: "Mr. Kang, no one here will recognize us, right? If we are photographed by reporters, we will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, reporters can't come in here," Kang Jianfei explained with a smile, "This is a meeting held by my friend. I also have some shares. Anyone above the fifth floor is not allowed in. Only gold card members can come in."
"What is a gold card membership?" Qiu Shuzhen asked curiously.
Kang Jianfei said: "As long as you have money, you can spend the bars, restaurants, dance halls, and karaoke on the lower floors here. If you want to enter the rooms above the fifth floor, you have to pay at least 500,000 to become an ordinary member. For the upper floors, you need to
Gold and diamond memberships require more than just paying money, they also require a certain status."
Qiu Shuzhen was secretly stunned after hearing this. This nightclub is too high-end. You have to pay to become a member before you can spend money.
This is the clubhouse that Ye Laosan said he would build last year. It is located on Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay.
The reason why bars and nightclubs in Lan Kwai Fong are booming is because there are many office buildings nearby, and the petty bourgeoisie white-collar workers in them happen to spend money in Lan Kwai Fong after get off work.
On the Causeway Bay side, there are various business buildings, shopping malls and group headquarters. The most indispensable species is the wealthy.
Ye Laosan opened a club here mainly because he wanted to use this place to make friends in the black and white business world. His original idea was to open a nightclub that was half nightclub and half salon, which was the VIP membership system that Kang Jianfei came up with.
Kang Jianfei took Qiu Shuzhen directly to the eighth floor of the top floor. After receiving the news, the manager in charge of the business on the eighth floor rushed over in person. He respectfully called "Mr. Kang" and stood there waiting for instructions.
Kang Jianfei asked Qiu Shuzhen: "Chinese food or Western food?"
Qiu Shuzhen replied without thinking too much: "Western food."
Kang Jianfei said to the manager: "Two of us. Western food. Please arrange it."
"Okay, please wait a moment, I will make arrangements right away," the manager called over a beautiful waitress wearing a cheongsam and ordered, "Lili, take Mr. Kang and this lady to the private room, Tianzi No. 1
house."
Lili was not too surprised when she recognized Kang Jianfei. He had obviously undergone strict training. And she met many celebrities every day. She just smiled at Kang Jianfei and Qiu Shuzhen and said, "Two distinguished guests, please come this way."
Qiu Shuzhen looked at the waitress who was wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam with her white thighs vaguely exposed. She thought to herself: The waiters here are so beautiful that they can even participate in a beauty pageant.
The two of them followed Lili and turned a few corners. The maze-like corridors made Qiu Shuzhen a little dizzy, and finally entered a private room with an antique doorway.
After entering the door, the furnishings inside are also quaint and interesting. Not only are there paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls, but there are also beautiful women playing the guzheng behind the curtain.
Qiu Shuzhen sighed in her heart at first, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She asked Kang Jianfei, "Mr. Kang, aren't we eating Western food?"
Kang Jianfei actually came here to eat for the first time. This time he stopped by to take a look. Because when he went upstairs, he took the card that is only for shareholders, so the manager respected him extremely and arranged a day without much thought.
No. 1 elegant room.
The style of painting is wrong!
Sitting in an antique elegant room, listening to the guzheng and eating steak and foie gras, it seemed a bit too inconsistent.
Lili came over at this time, holding a large notebook with a leather cover, and handed it to Kang Jianfei to spread out.
Kang Jianfei originally thought that there was a menu at this time, but he heard Lili say: "Mr. Kang, we have a song and dance performance here..."
It turned out that they were ordering songs and dances. Kang Jianfei didn't think much of it and said, "Just keep the guqin player. By the way, let your manager change the Western food to Chinese food."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Lili smiled and exited the room.
Not long after Lili left, the door was pushed open again, and it was Ye Laosan who came in with a smile.
"A Fei, we are meeting now. It has been more than half a year since we opened the place, and this is your first time here." Ye Laosan came over and sat down, and glanced at Qiu Shuzhen next to him.
Kang Jianfei took some tea to moisten his mouth and asked, "Are you staying here all day long?"
"It's good that I have so much free time," Ye Laosan sighed, and said in a Cantonese accent that sounded like a Beijing movie. "I just had dinner with my two grandsons. One is the director of the Food and Health Bureau, and the other is a distributor in Taiwan.
Shang, Lao Li is still there to keep you company."
The Lao Li that Ye Laosan refers to is Li Saifeng's father and one of the shareholders of Kangle Food Group.
"What's the deal with the dealer in Taiwan? Hasn't it already been sold?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Ye Laosan said: "This dealer has complete channels in Tainan. If we get him, we can spread our food to southern Taiwan."
Jianfei didn't ask any more questions. He always didn't care about the food company's affairs.
Ye Laosan chatted for a few words, then proudly pointed around the room and asked, "How about it? Is it tasteful?"
Kang Jianfei said speechlessly: "It's tasteful. What I ordered earlier was Western food. Did you bring me here to combine the east and the west?"
"Haha, don't laugh at me for being old-fashioned," Ye Laosan said with a smile, "Whether they are Chinese or foreigners, many people like this kind of arrangement. Don't think that listening to violins and sitting in a European-style room eating Western food
It’s so tasteful to dine in this ancient oriental charm environment, and all the government geeks are full of praises.”
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It seems that my appreciation level is not enough."
"That's it," Ye Laosan pointed to the pool in front, "Did you see it? I specially asked someone to design a rockery complete with water lilies and goldfish. The dry ice mist steamed up while the guests were eating, and some were left behind.
The beautiful women dressed in ancient costumes played the piano and danced, and the atmosphere was just like the Queen Mother holding a peach party."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Isn't it expensive to raise these people?"
"It's not expensive, but it's a bit troublesome," Ye Laosan said with a smile: "The people who sing, dance and play the piano are all professional art students I brought from the mainland. Look at the person playing the piano now, I hired him from the XX Song and Dance Troupe
A first-class actress, her salary is similar to that of a freight worker in Hong Kong. However, all the procedures are very troublesome, but there are no illegal workers in my shop. They all have Hong Kong green-stamped identity cards now."
Kang Jianfei had to admit that this Third Young Master Ye not only had the means to do things, but also had the energy to do it.
"What's the profit?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Ye Laosan said with a proud smile: "I thought I would lose some money at first, but I didn't expect that I got my money back in just 4 months, thanks to the VIP membership system you thought of. There were no customers in the first few months, but I
After having several guests here, word of mouth spread and the number of members increased. There was a rich man who sold his father’s antique calligraphy and paintings for the sake of face, just so that he could become a gold member of our club.
Card."
Kang Jianfei also burst into laughter. This kind of club, which is like a gold-selling den, with its super high service enjoyment and the mentality of comparison and showing off wealth in the membership system, is definitely a big weapon against the rich and the second generation.
"Now our Red Leaf Club is well-known among the wealthy circles where we belong. There are also people in Xihuan who have followed suit and created some kind of Thai-Western Club." Ye Laosan said disdainfully, "But how can that thing that imitates something from the East be like ours?"
Compared to Hongye Club, the quality of the waiters alone is not on the same level."
Kang Jianfei thought to himself: Nonsense, can it be on the same level? You raise a group of professional art talents with the wages of freight workers, who can compete with you?
Kang Jianfei is not worried about making money, but worried about his safety: "You don't have the police to copy the cards, right?"
"How dare the police come to copy the cards? Damn it, their police chief just came here for dinner yesterday, who is blind and dares to come here?" Ye Laosan seemed to have drank some wine before and was talking a lot tonight.
The two chatted for a while, and when the food started to be served, Ye Laosan had a drink with Kang Jianfei and Qiu Shuzhen and left.
Qiu Shuzhen looked at the table full of delicacies. She didn't know how to use her chopsticks, so she randomly picked up a hibiscus shrimp. The melt-in-the-mouth texture made her full of praise: "The food here is so delicious."
"If it's delicious, please eat more." Kang Jianfei helped Qiu Shuzhen pick up two chopsticks before starting to taste it himself.
"Thank you." Qiu Shuzhen smiled reservedly and kept her appearance while eating the delicious food in small bites.
There are all kinds of entertainment items in the place, including saunas, massages, waterbeds and gun rooms. However, Kang Jianfei brought Qiu Shuzhen to dinner today. The two of them enjoyed the guzheng playing while tasting the delicious Cantonese cuisine.
The atmosphere is extremely comfortable.
However, Kang Jianfei's good mood was quickly ruined. He heard the door of the private room suddenly being pushed open with a bang, and then a guy yelled arrogantly: "I want to see which king is so proud of me.
Dare you sit in Room No. 1 on top of my head, Ge Hongsheng!"
I saw a guy in his thirties walking in. Even in a suit and leather shoes, he could not hide his gangster aura. After the man who called himself Ge Hongsheng came in, several people came in one after another. One of them is Chen Guifang, who is now the leader of North Causeway Bay.
.
Chen Guifang advised from behind: "Master Hong, forget it. The name of this room is just a code name. Why do you care about it?"
"Code name?" Ge Hongsheng said sarcastically, "Fangzi, this is a store opened on your territory. You treat guests in your own place, but you can only sit in Room 2 of Tianzi. You, a big boss, have really failed.
!”
While the two were talking, they had turned around the screen and walked inside. Both Chen Guifang and Ge Hongsheng recognized Qiu Shuzhen at a glance, but Kang Jianfei had his back turned to them and was not recognized.
"Hey, isn't this the pretty girl from the beauty pageant? I heard she had plastic surgery, but I didn't expect she was working part-time here." Ge Hongsheng directly regarded Qiu Shuzhen as a lady from the club and laughed, "I just like you on TV.
If you are so sexy, I will accompany you, Mr. Hong, tonight.” (To be continued...) u
