A few days ago, my friend took me to Shenzhen Bay No. 1 for dinner.
The restaurant owner said:
1. In the past few years, most of the private room reservations were for birthday parties for young girls, and they would start to spend 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to arrange flowers in the afternoon. These girls often celebrate their birthdays eight or ten times a year, and once a month. Starting this year, this business has disappeared.
2. In the past few years, when customers came, they would first ask what good ingredients were available, and the more delicious the better. This year, when ordering meals, they would first ask if they could arrange for 800 or 1,000 yuan per person. In the past, when three or five old men had a meal, there would definitely be five or six girls around, but now there are no girls, only three or five old men. I heard that many girls have gone to Tokyo and Singapore.
3. In the past, when customers came for a meal, they would order good wine and good food, and it was normal for a meal to take three or five hours. Now, the meal ends in one or two hours, or at most two or three hours. In the past, after a good meal, they would always find a place to entertain themselves, but now after a good meal, they will ask the boss if they can stay a little longer, and the table will be cleared so that they can play cards. In essence, they don't want to spend money anymore.
It seems that the economy is really not doing well. I don't dare to invest blindly. I'd better hold BNB and lie flat.
