The "enclosure" movement of urban upstarts

Has there ever been such an experience: Dusk. Pushing the door open, the young waiter smiled at you, your favorite English tea was warmly steamed, and quietly placed at the seat you used to sit, and your favorite meal was placed on the tableware with your name on it. The piano piece you always ordered started to play slowly. Everything went tacitly and orderly, and the language seemed a little redundant at this time.

Other guests nodded slightly to you, and you were not surprised to hear Wang Shi tell about the joys of mountain climbing; Li Ka-shing describing how he liked golf; Yang Zhiyuan came to Gulliver's Travels with great interest, claiming the name Yahoo It was from here that I got inspiration; Ellison, who came here occasionally, talked about the adopted childhood life in a corner with a little sadness...

Inadvertently, you have completed your own private social easily and secretly. Singing and dancing, and being full of friends are never what we are looking for here; and it is the eternal rule to be subtle, low-key, secretive and noble, and tricky to please some special people.

This is the "private club". Here, while maintaining a safe distance from the outside world, you are also looking for the so-called "hierarchical" sense of identity.

The predecessor of "Private Club" was built by British princes and aristocrats a century ago in order to have a more private meeting place, according to different interests and industries. So that people with the same identities and backgrounds can enjoy regular and easy communication like at home.

I don't know when, "private clubs" quietly emerged in China, with the fundamental mission of reviving quality life. They are reluctant to accept the title of the rich club, because it needs more than money. Many "private clubs" adopt a membership invitation system. Membership is required for membership. Membership is approved by the board of directors of the club, and membership fees can only be obtained by paying membership fees.
