A Changchun Friends bar - owned by the community

[Richard Roman]

Now, here is an idea!

Why don't we look at opening up our own bar with the music we like, the drinks we like, the food we like, the ambience we like?

We could plan everything - location, management etc and be part of something really exciting!

A collective group effort with everyone a shareholder?

We would run it as a proper business - no-one has to contribute beyond their means - and with fully audited accounts - the profits going back to the shareholders?

If you wanted to sell your shares at any time then they would be paid in full

I will say more in my next post but is anyone interested in looking into this idea?

brilliant ... even though i have just joined the Chanchchun crew, I LOVE it ... 

could we have live sports matches GOOOO CHELSEA ...  and all the things we miss about home?

 I have a friend who is a maestro in the kitchen ... Portuguese and Indian food ... 

Ps ... comfy couches and a very loungey ambiance please :))) where you want to tuck up your feet and stay the night lol 

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

This is all very positive feedback on a small idea that could, with proper discussion and hashing out, become something that is great. A sit down meeting will be posted shortly for the matter. The meeting will be held at everyones favourite tavern, Grandpa's.

I am In,

I think it s a really good idea, i could bring some investment and all my knowledges about food.

Should we establish a meeting

The problem I see is the word BAR. You should think more on the line of a Social Club just like back home in the UK.

This then would open it up to a wider range of activities and people. 

This way would mean less opposition and start something new in Changchun.

Then I suggest a collective sit down, since writing ideas here isn't my idea of getting a business concept right. 10% of my brain hurts;)

This is a blog to get the collective brain working!

very good ！all hail this bar !

[CCF Beijing]

Good idea.

Also....I think you need to have a contest/competition to name the bar.

I would be very interested...but I see a real problem coming if we have too many investors. I would like to see a "CC FRIENDS" bar opened, but the consequences this will have on places like grandpas is not good.
Ferney with his skills would also be a shareholder if he did provide all the things he just quoted.
I think it's a sit down and talk situation!!!
