Hong Kong Club Reports

[Dickus Maximus]

I've asked some of the girls about the arriba money before, and They all said its all theirs. None for HK- BUT, it was almost two years ago, and I never ask again because I already knew.

Hmmm, interesting. Maybe I'll start asking again and see what they say. I will report back!

The ones that I've asked have all told me that the bar takes about half. Based on other negotiations I've had with them, I believe this to be true, even though it seems it would cause the bar to run afoul of certain laws.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I think you are right. They make a ton of money on alcohol sales. I'm just not convinced that's where it ends. I could be dead wrong. I have absolutely no insider info. But like I said, I believe they track the ins and outs of a girl for some reason and I don't think it's simply for fichas.

I think Hong Kong more than survives on alcohol sales alone. Think about it, they sell a $. 40 bottle of beer for $4. They sell a $. 30 ficha beer for $7 after they pay the chica commission. One weekends they sell buckets of fichas like Cinepolis sells buckets of popcorn. $70 for a bucket they paid $3 for. $27 for a bottle of Kirkland water they paid $. 15 for. Those profit margins are just astonishing. All they have to do is pay for their liquor / business license, utilities bills, grease a few palms at City Hall and they're home free. They pay next to nothing for labor. The security / cleaning guys probably make no more than $15-$20/ day. And guess what, meseros and the robe guy pay HK for the right to work there. It wouldn't surprise me if the customer service counter guys along with the valets don't get paid a wage either.

To JabberWok.

I am amazed that the guys here claim to sit at Kowloon bar's corner, but never really saw what goes on with the strippers' tips. The tip money is most time very little, sometimes nothing. It makes me feel sorry for the girls. Solely in the interest of learning about the very lucrative business of putas bars and poor lives of these girls, it takes the keen observation and analysis skills of a good investigative reporters to dig into the true sad truths:

The stage butch would sweep the dollar tips together off the stage with her feet. She then counts and records them in the note book and give all the bills to the strippers, who would always take out roughly 25% and hand them back to the butch. So she was tipping the butch.

The butch would just stick that money straight into her pocket. Since she never counts or records that money, it makes me think that money would go to just the butch alone, not the rest of the overhead people like floor managers, security, bar tenders or DJ's, who are on salaries. Otherwise she would definitely have to count and record them so she would know how much to divide out among those people.

Again the tip money is most times very little. One of the bros pointed out HK / Cascada also makes money off the girls by making them stay in Cacasda for $50 a night. A lot of those poor girls could not make enough money to pay living expenses. They just quit and went home after a few weeks.

Stage tips.

When I was at the HK recently I saw that security "sweeps" the bar / stage after a girl is finished dancing. I was sitting with a dancer at the time and asked why. She said security takes the money and divides it up among several people, like the DJ, the bartenders, etc. I don't know specifically if management gets a cut but it wouldn't surprise me.

The girls sell sex, not the bars. Thats why you go to the hotel for sex, not stay in the bar.

They check the girls in and out, to keep track of how long their gone. If their not in the bar, their not selling fichas. Also, to protect the girls from danger.

The bar is doing fine.

I stayed in a single room at the seventh floor which is clearly under construction / renovation.

The lift went till floor 6 and I had to take the stairs to 7th floor.

I liked the lighting in what I assume are new rooms, there is recessed blue lights behind and under the bed and on the ceiling, looks nice and sexy.

I had to crop the photos to upload them, the cropped photos are not as clear as I would have wanted them, but still gives a sense of what the room looks like with the new lighting.

Thank you for the pics, did you ask for this type of new room or was I t assigned to you? How many nights? Does it have A / see?

My favorite spot in HK is at the end of the main bar or the table right next to it, right by the main stage. And I make it a habit of closely watching what happens to the stage tips. The stage handlers, often Elie or Lilo, go up on stage and sweep the money with their feet. Then they neatly arrange it into a stack. They may or may not count it, you can't really tell what's going on in their minds while they're arranging the bills. Then they hand the entire stack to the girl. They withhold nothing. I'm sure of this I've watched in close proximity literally hundreds of times. Usually the girl will tip a few bucks to the stage handler. The money is not taken by security and divided up amongst the staff. The chicas keep 100% of their stage tips and are free to tip as they please.

This is what I have seen too, every single time at HK.

[Dcrist0527]

Sure, I agree. But, my point is, they track the fichas sold. So it's not a mystery who is selling fichas. Yet they still track their ins and outs. If it was all about fichas, they have that info with the brown shirt at the door recording names.

I think the reason is simple. HK needs the chica in the bar to sell more drinks to make money. You can read about this from several other posts.

I was told by a chica that her room in Cascadas is $50 a night so that is another way HK makes money.

[Dcrist0527]

Exactly my point. While I can't claim to know every time a chica takes a shit (guess I'm not CIA material), I don't believe HK survives on alcohol sales alone. We talk about all of the corruption in Mexico. Yet, some would have us believe HK owners are above finding a way to milk the girls out of more money.

You are right, Captain. They record everything. Why? They do it for a reason. What's the rule in Mexico? For the dollar. I don't pretend to know a fee schedule or can confirm such a thing. But until someone can come up with a reason they keep track of everything, I strongly believe money is the driving force.

To DChrist.

HK even record strippers' propinas down to every dollar and customarily the girls would hand over about 25% to the stage butches.

You will notice that chicas always lie for their convenience, but HK is not The Red Cross or the chicas. They would figure ways to make money off the chicas' fuck proceeds.

I know which chicas are pregnant.

I have a trip coming up soon and I have a fetish for pregnant women, like third trimester pregnant. Any intel you have in finding such a girl would be much appreciated since they are unlikely to be working in the bars when pregnant.

So the chicas don't get their tip money?

[Baxter Slade]

You guys need to take it easy on the Captain. He made it clear in an earlier post that he is only here to entertain us.

CaptainSolo**.

So I am only writing sexy fiction in ISG to entertain the bros.

[Ctytek]

No it wasn't directed at you. It was directed at a certain Star Wars named chief misinformation spreader on this board.

I'm not certain the above comment was directed at me but it certainly may well be because I recently cited Mexican prostitution / pimping laws. \
