where is the money to come from?

I believe that friends who like reading history know that Jing, the grandson of the Warring States and the son of Tian Ying, made outstanding achievements during his reign, defeated and breached Hangu Pass, but these are not well-known reasons. The main reason is that he attracts guests, and all the money he saves is used to attract talents and talents. His family is famous for 3,000 diners.

It is estimated that many people will not understand Meng Changjun's selfless practice, but we can only know a little about it through history books, which is full of mystery. However, there is a person who is following Meng Changjun's example and spending 600 yuan to set up a water platform for guests every day. It has come to the net. It costs as much as 200,000 yuan a year, and it has been 20 years. His name is Huang Ke.

Speaking of Huang Ke, it is also quite prestigious in the industry. He has been engaged in photography, media, catering and other industries, and now lives in Wangjing, Chaoyang District, Beijing. For more than 20 years, he has been entertaining guests from all over the world at home for a long time. It is estimated that the number of guests has reached more than100000, and he is known as the contemporary "Meng Changjun". Running water banquet is also called "Yellow Gate Banquet". The water banquet in Huang Ke is open to all people, from ordinary people to celebrities. Such as Ma Weidou, Xiaogang Feng, Lu Yu and others have tasted it, which has a great influence.

We can roughly estimate how much money Huang Ke spent on the water banquet, which is 200,000 a year and as high as 4 million in 20 years. I believe it is difficult for many people to understand such a huge expenditure. Is it worth it? Especially after years of accumulation, Huang Ke's guests are far behind Meng Changjun. However, many netizens believe that Huang Ke's approach is worthwhile despite its high profile.

The reason is that Huang Ke is a businessman, and his personality and fame are very important to businessmen. As the saying goes, more friends means more resources, which is the so-called "celebrity effect". For example, through this practice, many celebrities from all walks of life went to taste it, and naturally they all knew about Huang Ke. This is a wealth resource for Huang Ke, and there is a great opportunity to reach cooperation. It's still worth thinking about.

However, Huang Ke has been able to hold this kind of water banquet for so long. Huang Ke also said with a smile, there are three main reasons. First of all, he likes making friends. Second, Sichuan food is delicious. Third, he has never been married. Because there is no hostess at home, everyone can eat it every day in my family. Because of Huang Ke's practice, his business career has always been good, and he has both fame and fortune, so he can be called a man with a big pattern. Maybe Huang Ke knows how to spin a thousand pieces of silver coins and take them all back! This is a fact. what do you think?

Friends who know a little about history, I believe everyone knows Meng Changjun. Meng Changjun (Tian Wen), the grandson of Qi Weiwang in the Warring States Period, led the allied forces of the Three Kingdoms to defeat Qin Jun and break through Hangu Pass. And the most commendable thing is that he accepted all the wise men in the world in the fief, and there were thousands of diners, all of whom were praised by later generations as "Meng Changjun can get scholars".

Meng Changjun's behavior of recruiting talents can only be seen in history books, but he can't see it with his own eyes. This is a great regret in life. However, at present, a "saint" is following his example-for more than ten years, a free running water table has been set up every day for guests to eat, and no one who comes will refuse.

His name is Huang Ke, and his ancestral home is Chongqing, and later he moved to Beijing. Engaged in film and television media, catering, entertainment and other industries. The media said that since 2000, free water seats have been set up at home to entertain tourists from Kyushu. Diners include business tycoons, cultural figures, IT elites and ordinary office workers. Some people know them, while others don't.

Celebrities such as Ge You, Zhang, Lu Yu, Tao, Jia Pingwa, Jiang, etc. They are all guests and often go to taste the delicious food on the table. It is estimated that because the host's surname is Huang, the flowing water banquet is called "Yellow Gate Banquet", and I am called "Contemporary" because I invite guests from all over the world.

Ma Weidou once introduced the "Yellow Gate Banquet" in a program. Mr. Ma said that the running water mat started in the morning and was eaten until the evening, during which people kept adding seats, and what's more, they kept withdrawing vegetables and adding vegetables; They are all private kitchens and home-cooked dishes, about 200 thousand a year, less than 600 a day.

200,000 yuan a year, even if 15 years of running water banquet, there are 3 million. I have to say that Huang is a rich man and philanthropist. According to this way of eating, 600 yuan is not enough today, and pork alone will cost more than half, not to mention other dishes.

So, the question is: Why did Huang Ke do this? In his own words, he entertained 654.38+ten thousand people for more than ten years, just to make more friends in this way. The author snapped his fingers and calculated that if compared with the number of diners, Meng Changjun would feel ashamed, because it was less than one tenth of others.

For the Huangmen Banquet, netizens' comments are also different. Some people support it, some people question it, and some people come to find out.

Netizen narrated: "At the end of 20 1 1, I came to the residential area where Huang Ke lived. I asked many residents immediately, and they all said they knew nothing about eating running mats. Later, I asked two security guards, and their answers were the same as those of the residents. Finally, according to the house number reported by the media, I found Huang Ke's home. After talking to his assistant, I realized that I had to make an appointment for dinner in advance, and I had to be a friend that Huang Ke knew. It turns out that the Huangmen banquet reported by the media that everyone can eat is not for everyone. "

The media said that everyone can eat the Huangmen banquet, but netizens said that not everyone can eat it. Who said it is really unknown, mainly because we have not experienced it personally. That's why I put double quotation marks on the "sage" at the beginning. Of course, the food belongs to others, and it is also their right and freedom to choose what kind of diners. We have no right to interfere.

Speaking of which, Huang Ke, let's talk about Meng Changjun later. At first, I learned about Meng Changjun's deeds through Sima Qian's Historical Records-Biography of Meng Changjun. In his biography, Sima Qian introduced in detail how Meng Changjun was virtuous, how to recruit talented people and how to be a man ... At that time, he was deeply moved by Meng Changjun.

Later, when I read Wang Anshi's Reading the Biography of Meng Changjun, my admiration for him was greatly reduced and even questioned. Is Meng Changjun really a moral person? Wang Anshi said, "Wow! Is the public ear of Meng Changjun's unique crowing dog thief enough to talk? " (no! But how can a leader of a crow and thief organization be virtuous? )

Why do you want to comment like this? Wang Anshi added: "Otherwise, if you are good at being strong, you will get a scholar. If you can control Qin from the south, how can you take advantage? " If you have virtue, you can make good use of Qi's strengths. With the help of a wise man, Qin can be restrained. Why do you want to steal by crowing? )

Wang Anshi denied Meng Changjun's reputation as a scholar with a question and a rhetorical question, which made the author question Meng Changjun's "virtue". In other words, Huang Ke took pains to follow Meng Changjun's example and put on a big banquet for more than ten years. Is it really just to make friends, as he said?

Perhaps, just like Lu Xun's couplet to Qu Qiubai, "It is enough to have a bosom friend in life, so we should treat it with empathy". Because Huang Ke wanted to find a bosom friend, but he couldn't find one for more than ten years, he spent time and money to hold a "Yellow Gate Banquet". Precious video!

Huang Ke hosted a banquet at home to entertain the guests.

I think Chongqing people have two aspects (personalities), and seemingly opposites are actually well combined. The mountains are wild and unrestrained, and the water is delicate and soft. Chongqing people have these two parts.

Personal data:

Huang Ke: 60 years old, Wanglongmen, Yuzhong District, Chongqing. 1983 moved to Beijing and now lives in Wangjing, Chaoyang District, Beijing. Has been engaged in photography, media, film and television, catering and other industries. For more than ten years, we have hosted banquets at home for a long time to entertain people from all walks of life, forming the famous "Huangmen Banquet", which is known as "the first cultural salon in Beijing" and "the hometown of drifting north", with more than100000 guests. Huang Ke himself is called "modern Meng Changjun" and is respected by people from all walks of life.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Huangmen banquet officially began. Huang Ke opened a bottle of Jiangjin Laobaigan, which was quickly drunk by everyone. Among the diners, Chongqing people account for half, IT men, real estate developers, business owners, empty-shell youths ... come by boat and leave on board.

Jia Pingwa, Gu Changwei, Jiang, Ge You, Cui Jian,,, Lu Yu, Dou, Zhang, etc. These celebrities have all been to the water table to taste delicious food.

When the doorbell rang, another group of strangers came. "Sit down, Xiao Pang and vegetables!" Huang Ke got up and said hello. Every day, the same story is staged in Wangjing 606.

Basically won't ask me who the caller is. More exaggeratedly, a person who doesn't know anyone just walks in, sits down, eats, chats, eats a lot and then leaves.

It is said that there is a strange man in Wangjing, Beijing. Since 1999, this person has hosted a banquet at home all the year round for Ding Bai, a great scholar. Whether you know it or not, you can add a pair of chopsticks and sit down for a home-cooked meal. It is said that he is a modern Meng Changjun. From 16, the endless stream of "Yellow Gate Banquet" did not intend to disperse after the opening of the banquet.

March 16, early spring, Beijing stopped warming. Wangjing 606 is warm as spring. On the wall of the study, there is a huge oil painting and a green leather train from Chongqing to Beijing. Half of today's guests are from Chongqing. This is my first time here. I felt a little nervous and then relaxed quickly. As the owner Huang Ke said, I am a water pier in Chongqing. Please make yourself at home.

Running a water table because you are single?

Spend at least 200 thousand a year

Spend at least 200 thousand a year

Why did this huge water cushion exist for so long? Huang Ke said with a smile, there are three main reasons: "First, living alone, there is no hostess at home; Second, I like making friends; Third, Sichuan food is delicious and easy to make. "

Huang Ke humorously explained that among the three reasons, being single is the most important one: "I am single, and there is no hostess at home, which is very important. Think about it. Usually when you go to someone's house for dinner, you have to look at the hostess's face. If the hostess doesn't look good, the meal won't last long. Therefore, in my place, eating every day is no problem. "

Since it is a water banquet, the guests can eat and drink freely, and the person who pays the bill is Huang Ke. In this regard, Huang Ke doesn't care at all. In fact, he doesn't know how much it costs every day, how much it costs every year, and how much 16 has already spent.

"Over the years, the media often love to settle accounts for me, how much money you spent on meals and cigarettes a month. But I won't count these details. I'm not such a character. I can use it and deal with it. If I can't cope, I will be finished without this fee. " Huang is ridiculous.

Huang Ke didn't keep accounts himself, but through the chef at home, the reporter got a rough figure. Xiao Pang, a 30-year-old chef of Huang Ke's family, said that the family spends several hundred yuan on food every day, not including the cost of cigarettes, tea and fruit. Sometimes the cost will be higher, such as when hairy crabs are on the market, such as when seafood pots are to be made. Generally speaking, the annual cost of running water seats is around 200 thousand.

Every year, Huang Ke will also prepare at least three pigs for the running mat in his hometown of Chongqing to make bacon and sausages. The owner of the shop downstairs also said that Huang Ke's family bought more beer a year than the sum of the whole building.

Aside from the details, Huang Ke is actually confident. As early as the end of 1980s, he went into business and accumulated enough capital. Today, Huang Ke is still involved in many industries, but he basically does not participate in specific operations, but is managed by subordinates.

Although he was a businessman, Huang Ke was keen on "spinning a thousand pieces of silver, come back!" . Years of business have made him worry about food and clothing. Rich life experiences have made him more indifferent to life. And many friends, but also let his family banquet diners in an endless stream. These are the "foundations" for him to insist on 16, and the number of diners exceeded 65438+ one million.
