Edit this section of China's club status
General clubs are closed management, catering, meetings, entertainment as one, high-level clubs are not high-grade places, and then the good decoration will be old, the human factor, the service factor is the key to the clubs over the long years, in foreign countries, is also the case. Although most of the clubs in China are for-profit organizations, all kinds of clubs have more or less stipulated the qualifications for membership. What kind of clubs are high-class business clubs, and what kind of people can become members of high-class business clubs? Most of them are chief representatives of foreign companies, returnees, heads of well-known enterprises and so on. "In foreign countries, some people buy life memberships of clubs actually for value-adding and as gift-giving," for example, "The membership fee of a club starts at 30,000 yuan, and after five years, when it becomes a top club, the membership fee may be 200,000 yuan. Memberships are transferable, so some members will pass on memberships in premium clubs to their juniors in their wills, which is no small gift." Several Chinese business clubs with "international" titles have membership fees ranging from 30,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, but there is also an annual membership fee of at least a few thousand yuan. "Clubs are part of traditional culture in foreign countries, and why some clubs can easily invite global business elites or famous scholars is because of its reputation, which can not be accomplished in a short period of time. This is not unrelated to the cultural and traditional habits that senior business clubs uphold. Senior business clubs are inevitable in the market economic system, business clubs are quite private, so if you are not a member, you can't even drink a cup of coffee for 50 dollars (unless you are a guest). So what are those members doing? "The club is a very special platform for business networking," and "when I say it's special, it's because if something is impossible to do in a normal atmosphere, it can be done in a club, and that's because of the club's tradition of equality. As long as you are a member, everyone is equal, even if you are the CEO of a global Fortune 500 company, it is impossible to turn down an invitation to have a drink and sit down for a chat with other members in the club." Some people think that the members of these clubs are mostly high-ranking corporate leaders, and that people who are used to the "unit" culture will feel unbalanced by the comparison, but this is not necessary. In fact, there is no need to do so. Only when there is a larger middle class in a society will the society become more stable. "In recent years, people have become more aware of the concept of clubs. In earlier years, many people thought that clubs were nightclubs or some other kind of entertainment venues, which in a way limited the development of clubs in the country. "Like sports clubs, residential clubs, white-collar clubs and other specialty clubs, business clubs also have established characteristics and established groups of people, where you come into contact with senior people engaged in a variety of business activities, and where you can hear the latest news from various business sectors, which is why many members, after working hard during the day, have to use their spare time to come to the This is the reason why many members, after working hard during the day, come to the club in their spare time. In addition, since clubs are still social occasions, members generally get along with others in a specific professional capacity and maintain their good behavior. Some high-level clubs have a wife's activity room to enhance communication between members' families, and if the wife does not participate in club activities, she is generally more at ease because the top clubs are actually another formal social occasion
