Chapter 128: The Four Clubs of Yanjing
"Ayi, don't underestimate yourself, in fact, even if some of us usually play together come out to party, we rarely choose a top club like Chang'an Club, basically choose a similar place in private for everyone to play together, like today's Cai family's choice of the meeting place Chang'an Club, but the rare hatred is enough to prove that our Cai Dashao attaches great importance to you. “
"It's still the same sentence, that is, Brother Yang, you are following behind, I am still down-to-earth in my heart, if I am alone, I don't dare to go to the banquet alone. Zhang Junyi said with a smile.
"What don't you dare, now it's the one who lives in the center, and the original cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods now have to be people with their tails between their legs, even if there are some uncompetitive ones in any family, they are all sent out of the country by the old people in the family, and the times are different. “
For Guo Liyang's words, Zhang Junyi has a deep understanding, yes, the times are different, and there will be no shortage of 'fighting tigers' in China in the next few years!
"Chang'an Club, as one of the top clubs in Yanjing, today I can also touch Ayi's light to beat the autumn breeze of the Cai family, and I won't spare that kid today. Guo Liyang didn't know if he didn't want to talk about some things, and said with a smile.
"But Ayi, do you know the Chang'an Club, the venue for the banquet tonight?"
"Brother Yang, you can ask me, our family has no ancestors in the Chu Kingdom, although the economic conditions in the family are not bad, but it is a little better than the average family, as for one of the top ten in Yanjing like the Chang'an Club, my younger brother has never been in, if you want to know about it, you can also learn about it from the Internet, does this count?"
Zhang Junyi said honestly, there is nothing that you don't know and pretend to understand, you don't know is not knowing, there is nothing to be ashamed of, at least Zhang Junyi himself feels that he is not ashamed.
"Forget those things on the Internet, there are too many true and fake!" Guo Liyang shook his head with a smile when he heard this.
"Anyway, it's a traffic jam now, I'll give you an introduction, it is estimated that you will often come into contact with these after you come to Yanjing in the future, among the thousands of private clubs dotted around Yanjing, the more famous are the four clubs that are rumored to be gods by the outside world, that is, the "four major clubs in Beijing" collectively known by the outside world - the Chang'an Club and the Huaxia Club invested by Hong Kong businessmen, and the "No. 1 Rich Club in China" The four clubs are ranked in no particular order, but the circles gathered inside are slightly different. ”
Chang'an Club can be described as a hidden luxury place in the city, located at No. 10 Chang'an Street, the founder is Chen Lihua, chairman of Fuhua International Group, born in the Summer Palace of Yanjing, a family of yellow flags, honorary doctorate from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, USA, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the lifelong honorary president of the Yanjing Manchu Society, the director of the Yanjing Rosewood Museum, and a frequent visitor to the top of the rich list.
The entrance fee is $16,000 for individual memberships and $18,000 for corporate memberships, and members of the club usually have to be recommended by old members to join, and the conditions are somewhat harsh, when members are initially recruited, there are age restrictions, they must be between 45 and 55 years old, they are the "number one" of the company, the company's assets are at least 50 million or more, and it is best to speak English, but since 2003, due to the rise of young and wealthy people, the age limit has been removed. ”
Huaxia Club, the only high-end club in ancient buildings in China, the founder Deng Yongqiang, created the Chinese traditional clothing brand "SH Tan", known as the "cigar king";
The initiation fee is $15,000 for resident members, $100 for monthly membership, $7,000 for overseas membership, and $5,000 for local membership.
The address is located at No. 51, Xidan Xirong Line Hutong, Yanjing XC District, which is the residence of the prince of the Qing Dynasty, although it is only a stone's throw away from the prosperous Xidan, it retains the silent and mottled original appearance of the mansion of the twenty-four sons of Kangxi, which makes people feel like returning to the ancient meaning of the royal marigold bowl. With a total area of 10,000 square meters, the courtyard is an ancient courtyard building, with four large courtyards and several small courtyards, which are a group of ornate wings that are typical of the Qing Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this unique Chinese flavor that the Huaxia Club has received many foreign heads of state, and 70%-80% of its members are also expatriates from all walks of life, including world-renowned politicians, entrepreneurs, artists, royals, etc. ”
As for the founder of the Huaxia Club just introduced by Guo Liyang, Zhang Junyi knew from the Internet that he would indeed pass away in the next three years, that is, in 2017.
The Beijing Club is known as the "No. 1 Rich Club in China", with an entrance fee of 100,000 RMB for individual membership, 125,000 RMB for corporate membership, and a monthly fee of 1,350 yuan per month, and is located on the 50th floor of Yanjing Building, No. 6 Xinyuan South Road, CY District.
It is precisely because of so many high-level members that the business characteristics of the Beijing Club are also very obvious, and the main members are basically business elites, people from emerging industries, and embassy staff.
Since almost every member has a company background behind them, and their every move seems to carry trade secrets, in order to avoid unnecessary speculation and misunderstanding, entrepreneurs will arrange many important private meetings and business exchanges in the club, they are more concerned about the privacy of business, in addition to maintaining a safe distance from the outside world, these people are also seeking a sense of circle identity. ”
This is understandable, no matter who you are, you need friendship and a sense of belonging to the group, respect and respect, and mutual sympathy, mutual assistance and praise. Isn't there a good saying, "things gather by like, people by groups", "levels" and "circles" exist everywhere!" Zhang Junyi said with a smile.
"What you said is true, I have introduced the first three, and then talk about the last American Club, the American Club is located on the top floor of the China Resources Building in the northwest corner of Jianguomen, and is the youngest club in the "Four Great Schools" in Beijing, and it clearly positions itself as a "business club", and large companies like Microsoft are its main members.
At Club Americas, there are many events every month, such as members' parties, ladies' nights, fashion shows, etc., as well as special programs on holidays such as New Year's Day and Valentine's Day.
Although the members are usually busy, due to the large membership base of the Club of Americas, there are always about 50 people gathered to participate in a certain event.
In addition, its membership card is transferable, and members can benefit from it, so many members also join with an investment purpose. ”
