Chapter 208: Circle
The news that Ning Fei'er was going to leave Wanhualou, under the deliberate publicity of Wanhualou, had spread throughout the upper circles of Qingyang City in the past two days.
When they learned that this would be Ning Fei'er's curtain call performance in the Wanhua Building, almost everyone in the upper circle of Qingyang City fell into a frenzy.
Since Ning Fei'er began to appear in the public's sight, and Yang Wanli personally commented on Ning Fei'er, Ning Fei'er has always been the dream of all men in the entire Qingyang City.
I don't know how many people have ever fantasized that one day they can become Ning Fei'er's guest of the curtain, even if it is only for one night, no matter how much price they need to pay for it, they are willing.
From beginning to end, she had never heard Ning Fei'er look at any man differently.
If this is the case all the time, although everyone is itching, there will not be too many additional emotions, because Ning Fei'er has the same attitude towards everyone, and naturally there is no difference between closeness and estrangement.
There is no psychological gap, and there is always a delicate balance.
However, since not long ago, Xia Fan successfully won Ning Fei'er's favor with his musical attainments, and spent a whole night in Ning Fei'er's boudoir, those people in Qingyang City who thought they were far better than Xia Fan really began to sit still.
It's just a pity that although in the following time, these people have tried their best to make progress in their relationship with Ning Fei'er, and Ning Fei'er did come out to perform a few more times during this time, but without exception, everyone's ideas finally fell through.
This has made many people gradually start to breed dissatisfaction, because they really can't understand why Ning Fei'er can accept Xia Fan, but she is unwilling to accept them!
Just when this kind of dissatisfaction continued to accumulate, but it had not yet reached the level of an outbreak, Wanhualou suddenly broke the news that Ning Fei'er was going to retire.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire upper circle of Qingyang City was directly boiling under the influence of this news.
Of course, Ning Fei'er can retire, but only after being conquered by them!
This is the most direct thought in the heart of everyone who longs to get Ning Fei'er.
It was precisely because of this heart that the owner of Wanhualou set the admission fee for Ning Fei'er's curtain call performance to the extreme.
Because this night will be the last chance for all those who are interested in conquering Ning Fei'er!
And for this group of rich and powerful people, no matter how expensive the admission fee is, as long as it does not exceed a certain bottom line, they will not care!
When a person's status reaches a certain height, the so-called gold and silver are actually just numbers for them.
So when Xia Fan and his entourage stopped in front of the door of Wanhualou in a carriage, all kinds of carriages were about to fill the door of Wanhualou.
Although Wanhualou had already prepared and arranged for as many as a dozen servants to wait at the door, responsible for leading the various carriages to the place where the carriages were parked, they were still a little too busy.
This is the first time that Wanhualou has received so many dignitaries at the same time on the same night!
In the entire Qingyang City, ninety percent of the people or forces that occupied the top circle were concentrated in Wanhualou tonight.
Even the annual plenary meeting of the City Lord's Mansion could not gather the top circle of Qingyang City so neatly!
Because after all, the city lord's mansion will only order the powerful, but it cannot justifiably order the rich merchants.
"There are so many people? The entrance fee for one thousand taels of silver...... Is it just not being looked at? ”
Ye Kui had just gotten off the carriage when he was startled by the scene in front of him.
Of course, he knew how charming Ning Fei'er was, but he really didn't expect it to be exaggerated to such an extent.
After all, it's just a simple entrance fee, and it's set so high, and in addition to the entrance fee, there will obviously be other expenses for the whole night, and the most important thing is that you spend so much money, but in the end, it can basically only be to watch a performance by Ning Fei'er.
In Ye Kui's opinion, this kind of cost and the return that can be obtained is really too disproportionate.
"Everyone will have a fluke in their hearts, even if it is just in case, they are willing to try, let alone ...... This is almost the last chance. The owner of this Wanhualou is a smart person, and naturally knows how to take advantage of this human weakness to maximize the benefits he can obtain. The entrance fee of 1,000 taels of silver seems ridiculously high, but in fact, it just turns away all those who are not of the same level. ”
Xia Fan looked around at the crowd that had already arrived in front of the Wanhua Building and was entering the courtyard of the Wanhua Building, and then said: "For those people in the city who really have the power and money, no one will look down on this thousand taels of silver. However, for those who are only a little rich and have spare money to come to Wanhualou for recreation, this thousand taels may be their usual expenses for half a year or even a year. With such a price, the boss of Wanhualou can not only make a lot of money in this night's time, but also raise the level of the evening performance to a height that has basically reached the limit in Qingyang City. ”
"I see, that is to say, although this thousand taels of silver seems to be a lot, it is just separated into a circle. And this way of separation just satisfies a certain psychology of many people, so that they are willing to spend this money, and they don't think that this kind of spending is excessive? ”
Ye Kui suddenly realized.
"Yes, in many cases, the key to how much money you spend is not where you spend it, but who spends it as much as you."
Xia Fan said as he reached out and tidied up his clothes, and then walked to the courtyard door of Wanhualou and took out his invitation.
There was another person next to him who was paying for the entrance with a silver ticket.
The man had a big belly, looked like a rich man, and had a strong smell of wine on his body, and in the respectful eyes of the little guy, he took out a silver ticket with a denomination of five thousand taels and handed it to the account room in front of the courtyard to collect money.
Then he looked around proudly, and then his eyes quickly fixed on Xia Fan.
Because Xia Fan had already shown his name card at this time, after reading Xia Fan's name card, the account room did not charge Xia Fan any fees, so he beckoned a small servant to come over, and led Xia Fan and his group of four people in front of him and walked in from the door of the courtyard.
Now the rich man with a big belly was immediately unhappy.
"What's going on? Why do all of us have to pay the entrance fee, but the few of us don't? Everyone is a person with an identity, how dare you Wanhualou treat it differently? ”
The rich man directly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Fan and his party who had already walked into the courtyard, and shouted.
