Volume 1: Cloud City Storms Chapter 123: Unlimited Consumption
"Ah!" Hearing Wang Xu's words, the young manager almost fainted, feeling a darkness in front of his eyes, barely managing to steady himself. As the manager here, he naturally knew what price the other party had quoted for these things.
Although the Golden Age has a high level, there are also ordinary boxes. There is a wine and food worth thousands of yuan, and naturally there are cheaper ones. In fact, this kind of entertainment venue mainly earns money from wine.
In the golden age, a bottle of beer costs 30 or 40 yuan. Better wines, such as Wuliangye and Yanghe, are not cheap either, with several bottles costing a pretty penny.
Those who can afford to enter the top VIP rooms are mostly either rich or noble. The minimum consumption of 30,000 yuan is basically unstoppable. The reason for having a minimum consumption rule is also to give customers a sense of identity.
At this time, Wang Xu pointed out that two things, peanuts were only ten yuan a serving, and clear noodles were only twelve. The wine list for the ordinary suite and the luxury suite didn't have much difference, but the guests in the luxury suite basically didn't go to look at the cheapest ones.
Listening to Wang Xu's report of the two items, the manager was shocked. These two items added up to just under 30,000 yuan, with each item costing over 100 yuan. The peanuts were easy to explain, it was just a matter of plates. But this clear broth noodles, even ordinary guests in private rooms wouldn't order much of this dish. It's already 11 o'clock, where can he go to get so many noodles?
"Sir, I'm afraid we don't have that many clear broth noodles now. Can you consider changing to something else?" The young manager asked with a pleading expression on his face.
"No need, just these two. Let's go first." Wang Xu continued to flip through the list and casually asked: "There is no consumption limit here, right?"
"Is this all?" The manager's face turned green and he could only force himself to answer.
"That's good, bring another 100 crates of beer." Wang Xu ordered casually, this would add up to more than 30,000, but isn't that just a normal consumption?
Qiao Bin Kai, who was standing on the side, suddenly felt delighted and didn't expect Wang Xu to have such a wicked side. However, this manager was not good at his job, but he was happy to watch the commotion. Wang Xu was also helping him out of this situation. With a straight face, he glared at the manager and said, "What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up!"
"This..." The manager's forehead suddenly sweated, knowing that he had met a tough opponent. Just looking at Qiao Bin Kai's dress and attire, he knew that this was not someone to be trifled with.
In fact, how many people can afford to enter this kind of box, the manager's intestines are already regretful, and he cannot use force before figuring out the other party's background.
Just now he was just using a trick, they have encountered such situations many times before. Generally, rich people are afraid of trouble and don't care about the 30,000 yuan in urgent matters. At most, they will complain for two sentences and then pay the bill and leave. This is a windfall profit, but someone like Wang Xu who is so stubborn is rarely seen.
"Hurry up and bring peanuts." The manager stood by the side, seeing that Qiao Buke's face was not good, and hastily instructed the service staff on the side.
The waiter had long been stunned, and upon hearing this, he hastily nodded and ran out to prepare peanuts. Before long, the sound of carts came from outside, and not just one, but a whole queue arrived at the door.
"Get in there!" Qiao Bin Kai yelled with a slanted gaze, and at this time he didn't rush to leave either. He came to sing a song and unexpectedly ran into this kind of thing, his heart was also stifled.
Three or four waiters hurriedly carried plates into the room, which was a long crystal tea table. It didn't look small either, but it couldn't hold this hundred dishes of peanuts.
"Brother, two brothers, you see this won't fit, can it...?" The manager said with a bitter face.
"What does it have to do with me?" Wang Xu flipped his eyelids, glanced at the other person: "Put everything down, I like watching, whether you can put it down or not is your problem, don't we pay for it?"
"Come on, hurry up, and also get that clear broth noodles and beer as soon as possible." Qiao Binkai urged.
"By the way, add another 1,000 fruit platters, and make them large portions." Wang Xu said again in a light tone. The fruit platter wasn't expensive anyway, only 58 yuan per serving. Today he was competing with this manager.
"Ah!" The manager heard this and his legs went soft, he sat down on the ground. One thousand fruit platters, all large ones, each one worth three times the price of peanuts, were spread out, basically occupying the entire room, and they had only ordered four things.
"Big... big... big brother." The manager's tongue was already tied up, and he stuttered and begged: "I'm wrong, I apologize to both of you, you can leave at any time, today's bill is waived."
"What's the point of this?" Wang Xu raised his head, displeased: "This is not letting us consume, isn't it because we haven't reached the consumption limit?" As Wang Xu spoke, he looked up at Qiao Binkai: "Brother Qiao, why don't you call and get Lei Shao and the others to come over? There's so much food, we can't finish it all, let's take a look and broaden our horizons."
"This is good." Qiao Bin Kai smiled and nodded: "Take a look, there are still things that can be let go of. The minimum consumption here is 30 million, today I'll just splurge 300 million, consider it a pleasure."
"Three hundred million?" The manager was completely stunned, and directly knelt on the ground: "Two brothers, two big brothers, I really know I was wrong, please don't."
To put it bluntly, he's just a wage earner. When faced with tough opponents, all he can do is force a smile. Seeing Qiao Bin and Kai Wang chatting casually, mentioning 30 million yuan as if it were nothing, almost made him pee his pants.
The commotion in the private room caused such a big disturbance that it soon alarmed the person in charge of Golden Age. About ten minutes later, a man in his 40s hurried over.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the corridor, the middle-aged man saw that the entire corridor was packed with carts, peanuts, beer, fruit platters, and at a glance, it could be dizzying.
It's okay, Wang Xu and Qiao Binkai's private room belongs to the top-level private room. The entire floor has only five or six rooms, all of which are separated from each other, with their own areas. There are no doors to other private rooms on the corridor, otherwise, other guests would think that something big had happened.
"What's going on?" A middle-aged man squeezed through the crowded carts and arrived at the door of the private room. He took a look inside and was even more stunned. The long crystal table was filled with plates, mostly peanuts. On one side of the floor were also full of fruit platters, and beer was piled up in a heap on the other side.
He glanced hastily, the middle-aged man hurriedly looked at Wang Xu and Qiao Bin Kai, recognized Qiao Bin Kai at a glance, and hastily smiled bitterly: "Director Qiao, what are you doing here?"
Although Qiao Bin Kai rarely comes to Golden Years because he has his own entertainment venues, after all, he is the eldest son of Jiangnan's richest man, and the person in charge of Golden Years can still recognize him.
"Director Peng." Qiao Bin glanced at the other party with a faint smile and said, "I'm not doing anything, just here to spend some money. Tonight, I plan to spend 300 million yuan here."
"Three million yuan for flowers?" General Peng looked puzzled and glanced at the dishes and beer inside again, then fixed his gaze on the young manager kneeling on the ground and asked: "Xiao Huang, what's going on? How did you provoke Old Cao to such a great anger?"
Listening to the deputy general manager of his own company, the young manager was even more frightened, and he stuttered to explain what had happened, not daring to hide anything. After finishing speaking, he cried out: "Director Peng, I also handled it according to regulations! The front desk of this private room has registered, and it needs to be accounted for."
"Shut up." Peng Zong snorted, he had also heard about such things, but he had always turned a blind eye, with his golden age and strong background, he wasn't afraid of anyone causing trouble, but when it came to Qiao Bin Kai, he couldn't compare.
"Director Qiao, these people are ignorant, it's laughable that you have to deal with them. Why bother being polite to them?" Peng said with a smile.
"How can this be considered arrogant? There is a minimum consumption here, I acknowledge it, and we also asked, there is no maximum consumption limit. Tonight, I'll splurge and spend 30 million. If you're not satisfied, then let's settle for 3 billion. If that doesn't work, dollars are fine too." Qiao Bin Kai completely ignored him, this matter had blown up to such an extent, it couldn't just end with a simple "it's the subordinate's fault".
"Director Qiao, Brother Qiao, what do you think we should do? The people below don't understand the situation. Is it our fault? Whatever your requirements are, I'll accept them. Can't you just give Director Zhang some face?" Peng continued to smile, his "Director Zhang" being the actual boss of Golden Age, who also had some influence in Zhongjiang.
"How can I have any requirements?" Qiao Bin Kai retorted, "I came here to consume, did I do anything wrong? If you're capable, call Zhang Cheng Hu over for me, and I'll talk it out with him face-to-face."
"Director Qiao, you know, I didn't mean it that way?" Director Peng hastily explained, although Director Zhang has some face in Zhongjiang, he can't compare to Qiao Bin Kai.
"What do you mean?" Wang Xu raised his head and said: "Are you going to cheat the customer or what?"
"Who is this?" Peng Zong didn't recognize Wang Xu and asked Qiao Binkai.
"This is Dr. Wang from Fukushodo, and I'm here at Golden Years tonight to entertain Dr. Wang." Qiao Binkai said with a flick of his eyelids.
"Dr. Wang of Fusheng Hall!" Peng Zong was stunned for a moment, and his body couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Wang Xu's identity. This was the fierce man who dared to lock up the vice mayor of Zhongjiang in his clinic, not even giving face to the Hua family, and had a deep relationship with Secretary Han and the Luo family.
Now that Peng knew Wang Xu's identity, he was even more shocked and scolded the young manager kneeling on the ground in his heart. Usually, being greedy would be okay, but how did they offend these two masters? Neither Qiao Bin Kai nor Wang Xu were people that Zhang could afford to mess with.
"Dr. Wang, I'm so sorry, I've heard of your great reputation long ago, today is really embarrassing, if there's anything wrong, please forgive me." Peng Zong was completely out of temper, these two people together would make a big scene in the Golden Age, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would turn the Golden Age upside down.
Moreover, in essence, Qiao Bin Kai and Zhang are also rivals, both running entertainment venues. As competitors, they are like enemies. If Qiao Bin Kai insists on not letting go, it would be a big joke. He says he is willing to spend 300 million, and if that's not enough, he can even spend three billion US dollars. Since he dares to spend the money, others should also dare to accept it.
