Influential Events

In March 2007, the Beijing Lan Club was officially opened. Because of the generous use of the masterpieces of the world's top design master Philippe Starck, the Lan Club, which cost 300 million yuan to build, not only became a The luxury landmark also gathers a strong artistic atmosphere, making those luxury and art that are full of distance in the eyes of the Chinese suddenly close in front of us.

In 2008, the Shanghai Lan Club opened, followed by Tokyo and Los Angeles...and in 2009, Wang Xiaofei set his sights on New York. He was interested in the 101st and 102nd floors of the world's tallest skyscraper reconstructed at the World Trade Center.

Approaching "2009 "CEConline" outstanding figure" Wang Xiaofei, what came to her face was the fashion, focus and innovation of "post-80s" managers.

Wang Xiaofei, Spiritual Richness

Wang Xiaofei, Executive Director of South Beauty Restaurant Group, studied in France at the age of 16, and returned 6 years later as a design major at the French Higher School of Economics and Business and an MBA in hotel management from the University of Guelph in Canada Beijing. LAN CLUB is his first successful "product", followed by SUBU for trendy people and the surprising overseas expansion of South Beauty.

Wang Xiaofei, who just turned 28, is already the executive director of South Beauty Group. In just a few short years, he has experienced leaps and challenges that many young people have never had before. Today, he is sitting on the luxurious sofa of the Lan Club, and his understanding of life is as soothing and natural as the music wafting from the speakers.

Wang Xiaofei's face is angular, and there is a kind of determination in her masculinity. Some people say that he is a young master, and some people say that he is a rich second generation. Now he has no dislike for these terms, but shows a kind of tolerance: "My friends born in the 1980s are excellent, such as mine. A fitness trainer goes to bed at 7 o'clock every night and wakes up at 5 o'clock in the morning. Recently, he sent me a piece of his painting, which was painted in the style of Van Gogh, expressing his understanding of life. I think it is very good. Others It doesn't really matter what you call me, it's just that some names like 'rich second generation' can easily create social opposition, so I don't approve of such names."

A lavish joke

Three years ago, by The LAN CLUB designed by Philippe Starck made a stunning appearance in Beijing. This is Wang Xiaofei's first big operation. Here, you may encounter regulars such as the former Prime Minister of Canada, the French Minister of Finance, the Ullens couple who founded the Ullens Foundation, and the president of BMW. It is said that the turnover once exceeded 1.08 million yuan a day. Now, even under the blow of the financial crisis, LAN CLUB still has excellent business performance. Wang Xiaofei thinks that this result is people's affirmation of LAN CLUB and South Beauty.

Many years ago, when Wang Xiaofei was planning LAN CLUB, he and Philippe Starck communicated many times. They did not want LAN CLUB to become a private club for a few rich people, but wanted to create an international place for the human body in Beijing. Will go to the world's top enjoyment. They hope to make LAN CLUB a work of art, a picture, from a velvet curtain to a crystal chandelier and even a tent covered with oil paintings. Philippe Starck even wanted to design a few trash cans at the entrance, put a lot of paper in it, and make it into a work of art. When customers come to LAN CLUB for consumption, they can obtain aesthetic satisfaction, which is what they pursue.

"Now more than 400 people show up here every day, so it's really not just serving a small group of people. LAN CLUB is not just a place to eat, it's a pleasure to create an environment. Currently domestic There may not be many people who can really pursue spiritual consumption. LAN CLUB wants to change this traditional concept and let some people get rich spiritually first, and then get rich first and then get rich.”

Looking back at LAN CLUB today, Wang Xiaofei felt that it was a mockery of luxury and a luxury joke. Luxury always belongs to a few people, but LAN CLUB hopes that more people will come here to experience the feeling of luxury.

In 2008, Shanghai LAN CLUB once again shocked people with its avant-garde design. In a baroque European-style building on Guangdong Road, each floor of the four-storey building has a different layout,

doing its best to be fashionable. Wang Xiaofei also invited chefs from three Michelin-starred restaurants in France and top chefs in Singapore to cook Chinese cuisine. Wang Xiaofei said that they do not do "modern Chinese food" or "fusion", but do LAN CLUB's own Chinese food, and learn from the expertise of food all over China.

Such a spiritual feast seems to never end. From Beijing to Shanghai to Tokyo, Los Angeles, and New York, LAN CLUB is appearing in an unpredictable manner. Talking about the future, Wang Xiaofei is full of confidence: "LAN CLUB is not a fashion product, not a trend product, it is a classic, it is a work of art, so it will never be out of date."

Esquire who does not pursue fashion

In many We can all see Wang Xiaofei in fashion magazines. The experience of studying abroad in France has given Wang Xiaofei the temperament of a fashion capital. Compared with other entrepreneurs, Wang Xiaofei has obviously reached the forefront of fashion.

Wang Xiaofei, who is sitting in front of us today, wears a striped suit with a white shirt, looking stylish and capable. It has been three years since she wore a large dial IWC watch, and Wang Xiaofei hopes to pass it on to her son in the future.

When it comes to fashion, Wang Xiaofei said: "From the point of view of matching, if it is a striped suit, it is best to match it with a plain shirt. Conversely, a plain suit can be paired with a striped shirt. White shirts are the basic color, so you need to prepare more. Several styles. I have a lot of striped shirts. When the weather is hot, I usually wear them directly as outerwear. When buying a shirt, it is recommended to choose a style with a closer fit. The collar should be stiff and the shoulder width must be appropriate. Good choice."

Wang Xiaofei's grandfather is from the Manchu Zhenghuangqi Banner, and his grandfather is the owner of Tianjin Laomeihua shoe store. His wealthy family background has cultivated his noble and noble temperament. He has many friends, all of whom pay attention to the quality of life. Although she is the darling of fashion magazines, Wang Xiaofei claims to have no sense of fashion. He is a Cancer who loves family life very much. When he is not working, Wang Xiaofei likes to be with his family. He was tired of rich people's sports like golf, and also tired of pointless socializing.

Wang Xiaofei recently experienced a car accident and was fortunately unharmed. After that, he had a deeper understanding of life. "Cherish what he has now is the greatest happiness." God gave him a handsome appearance, gave him a platform with a high starting point, and gave him the courage to pursue his career, Wang Xiaofei said: "It's really my luck, or From a Buddhist point of view, I have done something good in my past life, in short, I should cherish what I have now."

I have seen a lot of extravagance of playboys, maybe it is a vent after the helpless flowers are gone, and it is related to ability, but Wang Xiaofei's life is facing the sea, and spring is blooming.
