Chapter 2585: VIPs with money

  As for the number of control cards, it is naturally to increase the VIPs' sense of superiority. Although the amount of funds has scared away most people, don't forget where this is?

She has already decided to limit the number of diamond cards in each store to 120 and the number of platinum cards to 500.

With such a group of people, they can naturally run a store, and with the normal cash flow, it is enough to make them rich.

Liu Qinghua always supports her decisions with one word: support, which makes it easy for her to do things.

Because of sufficient capital chain, each branch is being renovated at a rapid pace.

Moreover, the number of VIP cards is known in the wealthy circles in London, so they are all waiting for the next batch of cards to be released.

In fact, people with real status and position will not be unable to get a card just because of the quantity limit.

Yang Baodi conducted a very detailed investigation of the London circle, and she would personally visit such people to inquire.

  Naturally, people would not reject her just for such a small amount of money. Besides, because of this card, she could have one more place to show off, so why not?

Those who are nervous at the moment are those who do not have enough qualifications but are desperately trying to squeeze into this circle.

They are not short of money, but their status is not enough. Some of them have unclear financial background and are looked down upon by many people.

But once you enter this circle, your status will naturally be completely different. After all, if you are naked and face celebrities all day long, no one will talk about your past behavior.

There are quite a few such people, and they are also the ones who care about this kind of card the most.

Murdoch made his fortune through funds, but before that he was a loan shark.

He has a group of thugs under him and many unclear connections in the police station. It is with the help of these people that he can get by like a fish in water.

The police station has quite a few case files on him, but there are always people taking the blame, so no one can do anything to him.

Now that he had made enough money, he began to whitewash his identity, set up a private equity fund, and began to make money in the stock market.

In the circle of wealthy people, there are naturally people who have suffered losses at his hands, and there are also a group of people whose families have been broken up by him.

But so what? He is now among the top symbols, at least his wealth can be compared with theirs.

When he found Yang Baodi, she refused. Although she didn't know this person, her instinct made her wary.

However, she did not choose to offend him, but just explained with a smile that the cards could only be sold when the new store opened, and not in advance.

  But Murdoch was obviously not so easy to deal with. He asked with a fake smile:

"I know you went to some people's homes to give them cards. Do you think I'm not qualified?"

Yang Baodi said calmly, "I did give some cards, but they were all celebrities, respected by others, and this list was provided by others. Do you have any objection, sir?"

Murdoch didn't waste any time and directly took out a check for 1500 million:

"Ten million is the membership fee, and five million is the tip. Do you think I'm qualified?"

Yang Baodi reached out and picked it up: "Of course you are qualified. How many people can be qualified if you are not qualified?"

The two of them laughed together and then went to apply for the card.

In principle, Yang Baodi doesn't care about the status of the customer. As long as the money is enough, it's fine. But if someone is afraid of not getting the card and gives more, how can she refuse?

People continued to look for her, most of them were foreigners in London, and she even had cards for several Chinese people.

Of course, since Merck has more samples, the price cannot be reduced by a penny, and they raise the price themselves.

As for compatriots, we should be even more polite, because these people are not businessmen. They just sit here doing nothing, but they can take out 1500 million euros to enjoy themselves without any pressure. There is no need to give them a discount.

Because people kept looking for them, the number of diamond rings left was very limited before the new store even opened, which made Yang Baodi a little worried.

After all, there will definitely be people applying for cards when a new store opens, so this matter is a bit difficult to handle.

  She discussed this matter with Liu Qinghua and Lily, and Lily did not hesitate:

"Then why not just increase the number of diamond cards?"

Liu Qinghua decisively refused: "We can't increase the number. If that doesn't work, we can just look for the original members and persuade those who have financial difficulties to withdraw, and promise them some benefits."

Yang Baodi strongly agreed with Liu Qinghua's proposal, as she had the same original intention.

As for Lily, she regretted her decision so much that she wanted to jump off the building. However, just because she was timid, her shares were reduced from 30% to 5%.

  But now the cards are not even on pre-sale, but there is a rush to buy them. How much money did she throw away?

Only then did she understand why her business was in such a mess. It was because she had no vision and no pattern.

If she hadn't met Liu Qinghua, the building might have been taken away by the bank. She would have fallen completely from the upper class.

That's how the circle is. There's no mercy for anyone. Only people with the same status and wealth can get together. After all, there are many things that require cooperation.

If you, a person with nothing, try to get by, what else can you get except contempt and disdain?

It's too late to regret now. At least Liu Qinghua still gave her a stable income, which is at least not worse than before.

Moreover, with the rise of Sofia Club, her status as president will also rise. I believe that except for the top people, everyone will give her some face.

With this comfort, she felt much better and vowed to listen to this oriental man in everything from now on.

Even if I know there is a pit ahead, as long as he jumps in, I will follow him, because it is proven that there may be gold in the pit.

People are actually like this. When you lack the ability, you should follow the right person and don't question any of his decisions.

I am afraid of those who think they are capable, but don't trust anyone, and brag about what others have done.

People like this have no other way out except begging.

At this moment, Liu Qinghua's somewhat thin body seemed very tall in Lily's eyes. This man had an aura.

Even if he has nothing, he will still make a big splash.

She had never dealt with the Chinese before, and in fact, her education made her look down on them.

But it turns out that these two Chinese people, with nothing, created a myth.

In just a few months, their net worth has exceeded 100 million. Although they relied on external forces, that is also part of their own abilities.

Let me ask you, how many people can get tens of millions of dollars just by talking?

It is already late autumn in London. The leaves are golden, and one or two fall from time to time with the wind.

Pedestrians on the street have put on their coats and are walking on the sidewalk hurriedly or leisurely.

There is a constant stream of cars on the road, and bicycles are mixed in with the traffic, which makes them faster than those in the congested traffic.

Liu Qinghua sighed and said, it is said that many Europeans still ride bicycles. They should all have cars, right?

Yang Baodi shook her head in confusion. She really didn't know. She was also a little confused. At this time, Lily and Yang Baodi were walking on the street with Liu Qinghua on each side. They had just confirmed some things. Lily said she would treat them to the most authentic British food.

Liu Qinghua had been eating at his own restaurant these days and wanted to change his taste, so the three of them came out.

We have said before that there are two thinnest books in the world, one is American history and the other is a British cookbook.

The restaurant Lily came to was an authentic British restaurant. The decoration was also quite nice and the business seemed to be OK.

The ingredients of British cuisine are relatively simple. Although it is an island country with vast sea areas, due to the geographical and natural conditions, the fishing grounds are not very good, so the British do not care about eating seafood and prefer beef, mutton, poultry, etc.

The simple and effective use of quality ingredients, while preserving their original textures and flavours as much as possible, is an important feature of British cuisine.

British cuisine does not require much selection of ingredients. Generally, a single ingredient is used and the chef is required not to add any side dishes in order to preserve the original flavor of the dish.

British cuisine is known as "home cuisine" and its cooking methods are rooted in home-cooked dishes. Therefore, dishes can only achieve satisfactory results when the ingredients are home-grown, home-raised and home-made.

British cuisine is relatively simple to cook, the side dishes are also relatively simple, and less herbs and wine are used.

Common cooking methods include boiling, stewing, roasting, frying, steaming, etc. Common British dishes include beef stew with potatoes, oxtail soup, roast lamb saddle, roast goose, etc.

When they dine, they usually don't order a table full of dishes like the Chinese do, and only if they can't finish the food do they show the host's sincerity.

Instead, you order your own food so there is basically no leftovers. Wasting food is looked down upon here.

Liu Qinghua tried to order a few dishes, but they tasted bland and he couldn't eat them.

At least Yang Baodi could eat. She was the most tired these days, so she ate all that Liu Qinghua left.

She was very satisfied with this way of eating as it did not waste food and was relatively healthy.

Liu Qinghua had gotten used to it a long time ago. The customers at Sofia Restaurant also ordered dishes in this way. Few people left any food, as they ordered only as much as they could eat.

On the contrary, when Chinese people come to eat, they will order a whole table of food, and there will always be leftovers.

Today, Liu Qinghua lives in the old store, Yang Baodi lives in the guild hall, and Lily has her own home.

On the way back, Yang Baodi said, "Uncle Liu, you and Sophia should move to the guild hall. It's more comfortable here."

Liu Qinghua shook his head: "There are too many people. It's annoying to look at. There will be no one here when the restaurant closes."

Yang Baodi smiled bitterly and said nothing more. She found that she could not leave this old man anymore. As long as he was around, she felt at ease in doing anything.

She was an orphan. Although she was adopted, she never enjoyed the warmth of a family because her father was too old and unable to take care of her.

It seems that ever since I was old enough to understand, I have been accustomed to solving everything by myself.

Although this old man is about the same age as my father, he seems to be omnipotent.

Yang Baodi has never been in a relationship, so she doesn't know what it feels like. To be honest, she doesn't dare to be in love.

Because she didn't know why she was abandoned by her original family, and she didn't want to live a family life like her adoptive father's, it would be better for her to be single.

After meeting Liu Qinghua, she really felt that she had someone to rely on, and she became more and more dependent on this old man.

The reason why Liu Qinghua was allowed to live in the club was to have him closer to himself.

At this time, Lily suddenly asked: "Lao Liu, why did you marry such a young wife?"

Liu Qinghua smiled awkwardly and then recounted what had happened.

When Yang Baodi found out that he had married twins, his heart suddenly sank and he couldn't help but tighten his arm around Liu Qinghua.

Lily couldn't help but shout out: "This is not good, you don't love them, you can apply for a divorce."

Liu Qinghua smiled and said, "A man has to take responsibility if he touches someone. As for love, I don't understand it and don't want to know."

Lily shouted angrily: "You are irresponsible. Love comes from the heart. It doesn't mean you have to be together just because you are in a relationship."

Liu Qinghua shook his head: "That's not the case. Unless Sophia and her sister say they don't love me, I will be responsible for them as long as they don't leave."

Yang Baodi felt his heart suddenly beating wildly for a while, and then he felt particularly at ease. This is what a man is. No, to be precise, this is what a Chinese man is.

Lily stopped talking and rubbed her body against Liu Qinghua from time to time. Her already plump and fat breasts were even more astonishing.

Liu Qinghua was obviously distracted by her scratching him and couldn't help but want to distance himself from her.

But as soon as he struggled a little, he was rewarded with a more intimate contact.

Liu Qinghua felt a little helpless and a little proud. He had been keeping himself clean for almost his entire life. Why did he suddenly become so charming when he was so old?

Sure enough, when the four new stores opened together, there were hundreds of people who wanted to buy diamond cards.

At present, the remaining diamond cards in the four stores combined are less than 100.

This is a bit confusing. I can't just give them away with these dozens of cards. After all, Yang Baodi told everyone that the diamond cards will be released when the new store opens.

Yang Baodi really couldn't think of a solution, so he discussed it with Liu Qinghua.

After a brief pause, he immediately asked, "How are the sales of platinum cards?"

Yang Baodi shook his head: "There are quite a few left. It seems that I am not too interested in it after opening it."

Liu Qinghua nodded: "That's it, reduce the sale of platinum cards, increase the sales of diamond cards in proportion, ten to one, the number must be controlled well."

Yang Baodi's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't she think of that? In this way, the amount of money did not decrease, but the number of people was reduced, which made the Diamond Card user experience better.

You should know that although Diamond Card users also enter from the bathing area, after bathing, they have a special lobby and activity area that other users cannot go to.

And everything about their activity area is the best, it will definitely be crowded if there are too many people.

But if the number of platinum cards is reduced, some space can be freed up to allow them to enjoy a more comfortable experience.

Unfortunately, even so, it was unable to meet everyone’s needs, and in the end more than 200 people were unable to get the cards.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's their fault for coming late.

These people were very disappointed, although for a large part of them, it was a bit difficult to come up with the 10 million, but they didn't care.

Come on, I want
