Re: old people "occupy" Beijing KTV matinee, carrying a bottle of cold dishes to "sing K".
"Lu Hua Hua" sounded. Zhao Xiaoyi went to Lao Li and said, "let's dance for a while." Another lady laughs and laughs. "Don't you jump with your family?" Zhao Xiaoyi replied, "Lao Zhang is blind in our family. But when Lao Li was in the factory, dancing was very famous. The two men pulled up their hands, narrowing the gap between the tea table and the display screen, and then began to dance with the rhythm. Tian Hua hastily raised his mobile phone to take pictures.
"no, two stents, no more jumping." In the words of Lao Li's wife, Tian Hua, Lao Li, who does not love to move with his old brother and sister to KTV, is the most "violent" activity he has participated in. "Let's take this opportunity to make him move more and do exercises with us."
singing for decades has not sung
three hours of happy time soon passed. There is a total of more than 80 yuan. "I'm asking for it today." Zhao Xiaoyi handed in the money, and the waitress at the front desk said goodbye to her. "Come on next week. You make a phone call ahead of time. I'll leave the room for you."
Zhao Xiaoyi and Lao Zhang are famous for their love of singing in the neighborhood. At the beginning, everyone was a factory worker outside Yongding, living in a small building in the factory's dorm. Zhang bought the video recorder and the Cara OK first. Do not see the house of each family is only thirteen square meters, the enthusiastic couple often call neighbors to sing at home, Tian Hua and his wife are one of them. When
KTV was just rising, factories were already on the edge of downtime, and Lao Zhang and some neighborhoods were "going to sea". "Next to KTV's big room, hundreds of pieces a night, we seven or eight families together ten people come together, on average, each person has to spend dozens of pieces." Later, the dormitory buildings were removed and moved back, and the family lived in two rooms, but they did not want to sing at home, because the price of KTV was gradually cheaper, especially in non peak hours. "It's not enough to sing too loud at home and sing out."
this sings, more than 10 years later. Even if you add your own drinks and snacks, you can spend more than thirty or forty yuan per person per time. "Some people are tired of singing. Now they are not active in activities. But some of us still like singing, and sometimes we pull our relatives and friends together. Don't know or not. Singing and dancing is relaxing. " Zhao Xiaoyi said.
you can sometimes play mahjong together. However, "cards can not be played, but songs can not be sung." At this age, almost every family has a grandson, and only Tian Hua is in the community for half a day. "I do not do it for two years, and then sing every day."
the old man occupied KTV 2/3's
the manager of two "saxisis" KTV, the manager of two Jinsong, who recently Tun out part of the KTV and made a friendship dance hall. The reason for him to do so is precisely to attract middle-aged and elderly customers. Although their consumption power is not strong, they can bring more popularity.
some middle-aged and elderly people dance in the ballroom for one or two hours, then they open a private room to sing in the evening. "It takes half a day to play, and everyone spends tens of dollars."
Huang Weihua has worked hard in the KTV industry for more than 20 years. He served as the supervisor and manager of the waiter, and opened his first store in Jinsong in 2003. "At that time, customers were mainly young people, even if there were elderly people, they were also attending family gatherings. Almost no elderly people sang to each other."
before and after 2006, KTV ushered in the golden age. However, business is getting worse and worse, and many KTV take part in sales promotion. By 2010, a large number of middle-aged and old people began to sing.
the elderly are now the most common guests. "2/3 of the guests are the elderly, and the remaining 1/3 are the students." Some old people even come every day. "This situation exists in the KTV of the whole city, except for very few very high grade KTV exceptions."
reporters called on several KTV in Fengtai District, and the situation is similar. "The young man is tired of it." Our condition is not very good, but the price is cheap, mainly to satisfy the elderly customers. " A KTV staff member outside right outside said.
, sometimes in the morning, there are middle-aged and elderly people waiting in line to wait for the cheap, small, small and small rooms, Huang Weihua said. "They are still carrying the baskets in the morning market, and they come together to sing." In the afternoon, when KTV provides dinner, the house fee will float slightly. "They don't eat here, not only for calculation, but also because they want to send their grandchildren to school."
can't earn money from them.
with the increase of rent, labor cost and discount sales, the days of KTV are getting worse and worse. "Young people prefer online games and hand tours to less than before." Now we can talk about "profit" projects, mainly young people in the evening and family gatherings.
in communication with some old customers, Huang Weihua realized that, in fact, some of the "K" old people are now the main consumption group at the beginning of the rise of KTV. "They went to a private room, drinking beer, eating fruit plates and spending money, but now, even if they were rich, they were able to eat and drink." The other part is the middle-aged and elderly people who do not want to spend more money. Talking about their consumption characteristics, Huang Weihua manager smiled bitterly, "they can not make money from them, and may even lose a little money."
KTV offers boiled water free of charge. Some elderly customers take tea cups, cold dishes and fruits, and some sneak into them with wine. They were embarrassed to ask the waiter for a glass, so they brought their own cups. "For KTV, drinks actually account for more than half of the revenue. Customers know this is not appropriate, so they will not publicize. We have to turn a blind eye. After all, they are all elderly people.
Huang Weihua's parents were helping to look after the children at home. He had planned to let his parents out to play, booked a train ticket to Tianjin for the old two, and drove his parents to the Beijing South Railway Station. But that evening, the old two came back, "my mother said that the hotel was too expensive. I asked them, did you sit in the eyes of Tianjin? My mother replied, "once I pass by, I have to buy a ticket."
Huang Weihua did not blame his parents for being "stingy". Everyone in my family has parents, so I am willing to provide them with a place of activity, even if it costs a little bit. And they also brought us the popularity. "
