Qiu Zeyu chuckled, "Of course, it also has to do with their respective operations. Take Jingcheng Club, for instance. My old man was one of its founding members, but eventually, even he didn't want to go anymore. The monthly fees kept going up, the service got worse, and despite claiming to cap the number of members to a maximum of 1000, by 2000, they'd already surpassed that number."
Zhou Wang realized, that meant the threshold for the club was constantly lowering, and who knows how many shady people snuck in, which naturally made the place a mess.
"In short, the clubs in Beidou were indeed exceptional back in the day, especially the big four, each with its own unique charm. But now they've all fallen, I suppose it's partly due to the trends of the times. Our generation of young people just doesn't prefer the quiet private room settings that much."
