How wild can rich people get in private? A friend of mine used to run a KTV in a county town, and he told me about some customers whose ways of having fun would sound unbelievable just hearing about them.

His KTV wasn't that big—about twenty private rooms—and it was located on the busiest street in the county town. He said in three years of business, he'd seen all kinds of people. There was one boss, in his early forties, who came four or five times a month. Every time he'd book the biggest presidential suite, paying over a thousand yuan just for the room for one night, and order all kinds of liquor, fruit platters, and snacks, covering the entire table.

My friend said this boss never sang—he just sat on the sofa watching the MV on the screen. Sometimes he'd call in a few hostesses to sing for him, and he'd just listen. When they finished, he wouldn't say a word, but he'd give tips generously. Once my friend couldn't help asking the boss, "You spend so much money coming here and you don't even sing—what's the point?" The boss said, "Home is too quiet. I just want to sit here and hear some noise."

There was another one even more outrageous. Every time he came, he'd request the same girl to sing with him, and he'd stay until dawn, singing until five or six in the morning. That girl's throat was hoarse but she didn't dare stop, because the customer was giving her two to three thousand yuan in tips just for one night. Later, my friend couldn't stand it anymore and told the girl to take a break. She said she didn't dare stop, in case the customer wouldn't ask for her next time.

He said the weirdest thing was someone who came to the KTV to do business. They put on some music, and the two of them just sat there typing messages on their phones to communicate. One typed a string of numbers on the screen, the other glanced at it, nodded, then stood up, clinked glasses, and left. The whole thing took less than twenty minutes, and they'd spent nearly two thousand yuan.

My friend said that in those three years of business, he'd seen more things than he had in the first half of his life.

Friends on Toutiao, what do you think these people are really after? $ETH
