Prosperous Chinese Restaurant.
Seeing how the Chinese restaurant had become popular and supported by Americans, Zhu Wencong also started to launch an expansion strategy for opening branch locations—every provincial capital or major city in the Northern Federation needed to have a Prosperous Chinese Restaurant.
The main purpose was to alleviate the pressure in Chicago, where restaurant reservations were actually backed up to six months in advance.
The reason behind this was very simple; it was the most direct way of flaunting wealth, as well as the clearest way to display class hierarchy.
Those who spent in the hundred-dollar range were definitely poor, the thousand-dollar range was for the middle class, and only the ten-thousand-dollar range could highlight that you were a true American tycoon!
As long as you left a signature and a photo on the ten-thousand-dollar dining floor at the Prosperous Chinese Restaurant, you were a big-name celebrity in America!
