Can mahjong parlors still be open?

I once opened a mahjong parlor for one year, and I have a deep experience in it, so I can answer this question.

Mahjong is the national quintessence of our country, and it is also an important means of entertainment for ordinary people to kill boredom. It is definitely possible to open a mahjong parlor, but there are certain things to pay attention to when opening a mahjong parlor, and there are many tricks that need to be done in advance.

The first is the location issue. Site selection is very important, as it is a key factor in determining whether the mahjong parlor business is prosperous. Any store needs foot traffic, and this is especially true for mahjong parlors. There are usually two places with a lot of foot traffic, the city center and around the community. There are countless examples in the city center, such as Tianyu Argyle, Green Island, etc. , but the rent in the city center will be very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. The remaining choice is the community, and the choice of community is also very particular. Usually the people who play mahjong are idle middle-aged people and retired elderly people. For this reason, those high-end communities are not suitable because they can afford to live there. People in high-end residential areas are usually very busy at work. They don't have much time for Mahjong, and their interest is not in Mahjong. The best ones are those in old communities. The economic conditions of living in old communities are generally average, but the neighbors are familiar with each other and it is easy to form fixed playing friends, which is very beneficial to the mahjong parlor.

The second is the shopkeeper’s choice. If it is a side business of investment, we need to find someone to look after the store. In addition to daily operations and services, we also need to know a little about mahjong skills, because sometimes regular players are in trouble and need temporary rescue. In addition, the salary of the storekeepers must be calculated in advance. It can be a fixed income, but this will easily discourage enthusiasm and discourage business solicitation. It can also be a commission based on the number of tables. The advantage is that it will use your personal circle to help you attract people. The disadvantage is that he tends to have too many of his friends and neglects to entertain other guests.

Third, the service positioning must be clear. Although it is a mahjong parlor, it is also divided into grades, with corresponding charging standards and corresponding services. Based on my personal advice, don’t overdo it. After all, there are not many people who are willing to spend money when opening a shop around an old community. Coffee and drinks are not needed. Just provide boiled water and tea. The tea does not need to be too good. Picky customers will Bring your own tea leaves, and the rest is just to moisten your mouth and give it a taste. As for the decoration and hardware supporting facilities, you should also choose them in the early stage. The decoration does not need to be too luxurious and can be clean and fresh. After all, your number of tables is limited, and your income is also limited. It is important to make money back as soon as possible. Air-conditioned mahjong tables cannot be spared. Nowadays, people are very dependent on air-conditioning. Some customers will ask you to turn on the air-conditioning purely to make money. The mahjong table is the most important thing. You must buy a brand, whether it is new or second-hand. It is a must-have brand. Everyone is in the mood for playing, and suddenly the table breaks. This is very fatal. Maybe they won’t come back the second time.

Fourth, the relationship between neighbors must be good. The biggest feature of opening a mahjong parlor is the hustle and bustle, especially at night, which has a great impact on the surrounding neighbors. If the relationship is not good, people will call the police to catch gamblers or disturb the residents from time to time, and your business will not be able to continue. On weekdays, greet your neighbors more often, say a few words, and distribute candies to children in front of adults. If your relationship is good, even if there is any unpleasantness, people will be polite first and then respond to you, and actively communicate and coordinate with you.

The above is my experience in opening a mahjong parlor. It was opened for a year at that time. It was because the store inspection and service positioning were not done well, which resulted in high costs. Although it was not a loss, it was basically no profit. Later, The only option is to close it.

Mahjong parlors are a very sensitive topic now! Whether it can be opened involves many issues.

First, the certificates and licenses are complete.

Regardless of whether the previous mahjong parlor had a license or not, if you want to open a mahjong parlor now, you must complete all the procedures. Otherwise, a phone call from someone else will make you doubt your life. Whether or not the certificate is placed on the table is another matter. The trick is up to you to understand!

Second, choosing an address is very important.

1. Select a commercial office building. From now on, it is better to open in an office building. Considering the flow of people, the customer base is white-collar workers of middle and high-income groups, individual bosses, and mobile and leisure young people. Start sending out more orders for publicity.

Advantages: Not afraid of being reported as disturbing the public.

Disadvantages: The rent of the store is a bit high, and the customers are not very stable.

2. Select a residential area. This requires choosing a living area with a lot of real estate and mid-to-high-end housing prices. People who can afford high housing prices have stable incomes and there are many potential people playing mahjong.

Advantages: Low storefront rent and strong customer base stability. Gains are available in both the afternoon and evening. You can also sell some non-staple cigarettes!

Disadvantages: Nuisance problems are easily reported by neighbors.

Special reminder: Do a good job of sound insulation. If you don’t do this well, it won’t last long.

Third, interpersonal relationships are more important!

1. Public *** Human connections in society are very important, and the current crackdown on mahjong gambling is very strong. If you do not have such connections, I advise you to think twice. Otherwise, who would dare to come to your mahjong parlor every now and then?

2. If you open in a community, you need to have a good relationship with your neighbors. Before driving, you should ask if your nearest neighbors are easy to talk to. Some people can't get enough of it, so you'd better change your house. In short, treat others with a smile and swallow your anger!

Fourth, grasp the boundaries between entertainment and gambling!

①. No matter where you open a mahjong parlor, it’s best to have a sense of proportion and not play too big. Especially those who specialize in playing big names, it is best to refuse, otherwise you will be shut down and fined if you are reported and caught once!

②. Only tea money is charged for operation, and slogans saying “no gambling, health and entertainment” are posted on the wall. These things don't work at ordinary times, but they play an important role in defining the nature of a lawsuit at critical moments!

Fifth, business risks.

1. The biggest risk is being reported and hit. Consider whether your own connections can handle it. If it is closed, you will lose rent and decoration fees.

2. There are many people who have been borrowed money or who have not repaid the money they borrowed. When you open a mahjong parlor, there will definitely be people borrowing money, so the question of who can borrow money and who can't is difficult to deal with, and it's easy to offend people. Summary: The risks of operating a mahjong parlor are relatively high now, and the scale varies from place to place. In business, the purpose is to swallow your anger, greet people with a smile, and treat people with enthusiasm. Occasionally buy some fruits and melon seeds to retain customers!

Whether a mahjong parlor can be opened still has two issues:

1. If the amount of mahjong played exceeds the gambling limit in the city, it is illegal. For example, Nanjing stipulates that if the amount exceeds 200, it is considered gambling. , the owner and participants who provide the venue will be subject to public security penalties or fines, huge sums or even prison terms, and equipment confiscation. This kind of mahjong parlor cannot be opened.

2. Mahjong parlors with complete licenses and not for profit, providing entertainment venues for the elderly and charging a small tea fee. Smaller mahjong parlors can still be opened.

Whether you can open a mahjong parlor or not, you must always pay attention to relevant national regulations and policies, abide by the law, and resolutely resist gambling.

Can mahjong parlors be opened?

It depends on where it is. I went back to my hometown in Anhui during the Chinese New Year. Before the epidemic, there was a lot of gambling there. However, the rural areas are relatively better, after all, it is the Chinese New Year again. However, during the epidemic, the arrests were very severe. I often heard that a company was reported, people were chased away, and the boss was severely punished.

Now that the domestic epidemic situation is improving, it is estimated that many places can open. For example, in Sichuan, at least in my city you can play mahjong. This is not a simple mahjong parlor, but a tea house, and providing mahjong playing services is only part of it. Not only can you play mahjong, but you can also fight landlords, chat over tea, and receive guests.

Sichuan people regard teahouses as important gathering places. When friends come, they will go to the teahouse to drink tea and chat before and after dinner. Before and after important events such as weddings, funerals, etc. are officially held, people are basically invited to the teahouse. So playing mahjong is only part of the tea house's daily income. Teahouses have become a part of Sichuan people’s life. As far as I know, Sichuan is the only one.

Small gambling brings pleasure, big gambling harms the body, so take care of yourself.

Recently, gambling has been strictly controlled. It is best not to open a mahjong parlor for the time being. After a period of time, wait and see if the news passes, and then consider opening a mahjong parlor. When opening a mahjong parlor, you need to choose a good location and find more customers. The location is a popular chess and card room. The gambling capital should not be too large. The game should be small. It is just for entertainment and cannot affect other people's families. Although opening a mahjong parlor is a bit risky, it is quite profitable. Nowadays, more people like gambling. Mahjong The museum can definitely still be opened.

I am a resident of the community. They come here for entertainment in the evening after work. Most of them are elderly. Taxis are one yuan and two yuan, but the taxis I provide are Biluochun, Longjing, Tieguanyin, and Maofeng. ... Various scented teas, fruit teas, as well as coffee, fruits, and melon seeds are provided so that residents in the community can have a relaxing entertainment place after work. They can also sit together and brag and chat, especially now that many children of the elderly are Why not meet up with a few seniors to pass the time when you are not around? I can also massage, chat, and do physical therapy for the elderly. Everyone has their own preferences. Some people who want to play can even travel more than ten kilometers to play mahjong. Unless the buying and selling of mahjong machines is not allowed, not to mention that there are more mahjong games on mobile phones than in real life. , the mahjong parlor still needs to be determined by its nature. It must not disturb people, gamble or cause trouble. Why not be a mahjong parlor that is convenient for the public and serves the public?

Basic point of view: It is better to block than to open up. This has been true since ancient times.

After seeing this question, I suddenly came up with a strange idea. If mahjong parlors were completely banned, just like prostitutes, would it have the same effect but different results?

In fact, I think everyone is well aware of whether prostitutes are banned or not, but it is just changing from light to dark, from collective workshops to dispersed households, from waiting at the door to online invitations, and then to online invitations. From a single family through the dating artifact and spread the bait widely.

In fact, what is certain is that the ban on prostitution has not changed the social atmosphere, but has only changed from the previous open and aboveboard to the current sneaky one. Every man who wants to steal sex is very aware of the red light district hidden in his city.

To put it bluntly, some people may be aware of this. But there are some things that you simply can't completely prevent. As long as you don't go too far and don't affect the surrounding residents, you can mostly turn a blind eye.

So what will be the consequences if mahjong parlors are banned? There is no doubt that they will definitely switch from a fixed storefront to a family-style operation.

You can’t control people playing mahjong at home, right? The unsightly cash can also be replaced by things like chips, and then paid via WeChat. This is simply uncontrollable, and will instead lead to a more complicated situation.

Since ancient times, blocking is worse than sparing. If it is blocked completely, it will only produce more silt. If it is not done well, as the silt accumulates more and more, it will crush the gate.

Indeed, gambling has become a very serious social phenomenon. It is one of the characteristics of the current stage, like other social and moral corruption trends.

Like me here in Zhanjiang, almost everyone bets, especially the kind of "prize winning" based on the first four digits of the seven-star lottery in each issue, which has almost become a local "cultural characteristic" ".

When I first came down, I heard that gambling was going to be banned. However, ten years later, this "prize winning" has never been discontinued. Instead, it has become a topic that countless young and old men study hard every day. Mysterious knowledge.

So, there are some things that you cannot prohibit under any circumstances. In a sense, gambling has become a spiritual support for many people in this impetuous society.

In today's general environment, simply banning mahjong parlors will not improve the various unfavorable social trends at all. Only when the superstructure establishes a healthy and beneficial cultural atmosphere so that people no longer need to rely on mahjong and gambling can it be completely eradicated.

Of course, in the face of the spread of gambling in mahjong parlors, more standardized and strict management measures can only be implemented, and those with incomplete licenses must be resolutely banned.

As for the complete disappearance of mahjong parlors from this ancient land of China, I think there is still a long way to go and there is no hope in the short term.

I personally think that mahjong parlors can be opened for the following reasons: First, mahjong itself is an entertainment activity that can provide entertainment to people who have time and can play mahjong, especially After retirement, playing mahjong can help enrich your entertainment activities, as long as you don't turn mahjong into a gambling game. Second, mahjong is one of the national quintessences of our country. As long as it is not gambling, playing mahjong can connect friends and pass on the quintessence of the country. Why not do it?

Let me solemnly emphasize that you must not gamble.

Mahjong is a unique leisure and entertainment sport in my country. It can be said to have a bit of history. It is very popular in China and there are mahjong parlors everywhere. Now even many foreign friends like to play mahjong. It can be said to be popular all over the world.

I don’t know where the questioner wants to open a mahjong parlor, and I don’t know much about other places. My biggest feelings in Chengdu are two and one is food. There are many things, and there are many mahjong parlors. Chengdu people like to play mahjong, both men and women, and there are so many mahjong parlors everywhere. There are mahjong parlors in every community on that day, and they are always full. Playing mahjong is an integral part of Chengdu people's lives.

Personally, I think that no matter where you want to open a mahjong parlor, you must like to play mahjong, have many mahjong playing friends, be familiar with the environment around the mahjong parlor where you want to open, and be warm and thoughtful. . Only with these conditions can you open a successful mahjong parlor. If you do not meet these conditions, I advise you not to open it to avoid losses.

Mahjong parlors are harmful to people. Some people think about mahjong all day long and eradicate mahjong parlors. They want to play at home and open faster than restaurants. Some people who love mahjong have no place to go to work. Play slowly. There is a time limit for everything you do. There is no time limit for mahjong. Sit on it and put everything aside. Playing from 100 days to midnight will affect your family and your health. It is not good for the elderly or young. It is okay.
