Yu Guowei is a seasoned bartender.

According to the Hongkong Wen Wei Po, 8 years ago, Yu Guowei, a man in Hongkong, set up a dream of starting a business with her brother Yu Dawei, who was a bar manager in Guangzhou.

During the 8 years, the two brothers experienced ups and downs in their business and they never gave up. "As long as we can make ends meet, we will keep on believing that there will always be clouds and clouds."

The spirit of Hongkong, which is not easy to concede, is embodied.

Yu Guowei has been in the bar business in Hong Kong. Before 2002, he ran a leisure bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong, providing watching and catering services.

Although business is not hot, profits are still considerable.

However, before the contract expired, the landlord did not renew his contract, and Yu Guowei had to find another way out.

It happened to be Yu Dawei, a brother who worked as a bar manager in Guangzhou, referring to the Fangcun style bar street in Guangzhou.

The two brothers chime in with each other and decide to join a joint venture to open a bar in Guangzhou.

At the end of that year, the two experienced brothers were sitting on the Pearl River bank in the white goose pond.

Fangcun style bar street, the anecdotal is called the Guangzhou edition "Lan Kwai Fong".

On a less long Linjiang street, more than 30 bars of color were staggered.

In the evening, the lights on the two sides of the river are shining brightly, and the boat in the river is like a carafe like a crucian carp. It is like a new scenic spot in Guangzhou.

At the beginning of the opening of the bar street, the local government launched a high-profile publicity and promotion, and for a long time, the business of Yu brothers was clear.

Unfortunately, the good news is not long. The atypical pneumonia raging around the world suddenly hit Guangzhou.

The bar of the other brothers lost their money even for months, until the end of SARS.

After careful observation, the two brothers decided that the bar business was not good enough, because it was too remote.

Brother concentric, quickly cut the Gordian knot, lost the old shop, in the bar street center near the docks, as the original re opened.

It never occurred to me that store rents have gone up a lot, but business has not improved.

"The two quarter of the spring and autumn every year, the Canton Fair and the Christmas Eve are the best three periods of the bar business, and the rest of the time has been very good." when it comes to hard business, Yu Guowei smiles.

He told reporters that bars now only have 20 to 30 guests a day.

The profit is few, can not open source, can only think of a way to reduce expenditure.

In the past, bar guests were imported from abroad because of foreigners.

Now, customers have limited consumption ability, so they have to buy home made red wine.

Yu Guowei said frankly that if he did not work hard enough, it would be justifiable for the bar business to be poor.

"Our two brothers have been trying their best to keep up with the trend and change their business, but business is still hard to improve."

Yu Guowei was a bartender in Hongkong in early years, and his brother Yu Dawei was a DJ player. Originally, the brothers' two swords should go all the way, but unexpectedly they crashed into Guangzhou.

"We have many advantages, but we don't know how to bring them into full play."

However, although the way ahead was somewhat confused, Yu brothers did not give up easily.

Yu Guowei said that as long as the bar can make ends meet, they will stick to it.

"From the present development perspective, the opportunities in Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta are still the largest, and we are still staying here to wait for more suitable opportunities. We also believe that there will always be clouds and clouds."
