[Gululu]

so I was invited to a grand opening here in Richmond called 1029 Cafe
which I thought was quite interesting, as this is solid proof that immigrants do invest in Canada. Thus good for our economy as a whole. What do you guys think of all this?

Any pics of food?

[Liquid_o2]

How many shareholders do you need for a cafe?

[6o4__boi]

Cool story bro.

[ackjaman]

is this how to launder moneys?

[adambomb]

LOL at some of the pics. Super rich, business savvy investor... uses passport pics. PogChamp

[quasi]

How many shareholders do you need for a cafe?

My noneducated guess, 1029.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

starry night was owned by taiwanese before being sold to these guys.

actually i was kind of disappointed when they shut down. there was nothing else like it in richmond.

[Bender Unit]

50+ shareholders
all their friends will ask for discount since they knew the owners. That's what Chinese do ultra rich, super rich, rich...etc or not.
It is in their blood.

Is it where next to Costco Richmond ?

[320icar]

It's behind costco Richmond next to a bunch of crack houses.

judging by the "investors booklet" and the fact Gululu posted this, I can only assume whites are not welcome.

[smoothie.]

"invest in Canada"

:facepalm:

[pastarocket]

If a health inspector find rodents in that restaurant or other healh violations, 1029 is going down.

There goes the grand opening. :lawl:

[keifun]

I give it no more than 5 yrs before it changes hands and becomes something else.

[carisear]

Soooo, I read that name as 10 2 9 as in ten to nine ... or am I wrong?

also starry night was ultra shitty. tried it twice (to give it a second shot incase first time was an off night) ... nope. it was bad.

[EmperorIS]

When Mainlanders does something... its always funny

[Tone Loc]

Tell that to the housing market.

[murd0c]

Soooo, I read that name as 10 2 9 as in ten to nine ... or am I wrong?



That's what I thought as well...

and why do we care about the investors?

[Hondaracer]

Investing in dat Canada so hard that absolutely none of their signs contain french/english, nor do any of their pamphlets or shareholder info, killah

[Manic!]

Tell that to the housing market.

What are you talking about it's been great for the market.

[Special K]

Cafe Lu

Otherwise I don't care.

[buhdeh]

Lol a grand opening for a Cafe and all you have are some pictures of a pamphlet full of mainlanders

[Tone Loc]

Cafe Lu

Otherwise I don't care.

If Mainlanders managed to open one here with women that were actually hot (i.e., not fobs), I'd become an immigrant investor rights advocate. Drop flyers from a plane over the city and shit! Get all the wealthy Chinese up in here to build more cafes. Screw not being able to afford a home... BOOBS!

[underscore]

Seems like a heck of a lot of nonsense for a "cafe"

[white rocket]

What sets this place apart from the rest? What's on the menu? What's the atmosphere like?

[ree666]

Did they just do an RS Group buy?

Hurry up everyone chip in 50 bucks.

[geeknerd]

66 investors lol shoulda matched it to 88

[v_tec]

so I was invited to a grand opening here in Richmond called 1029 Cafe

80% off for all RS members if we mention your name? :accepted:

[meme405]

Fuck all this noise. For bcrdukes' sake we need to know whether they serve fair trade organic coffee.

[murd0c]

No restaurant will make money having that many investors. Sounds like just a ploy to go get drunk and write the expenses off.

[Hehe]

Maybe it's a scheme for immigration purpose?

CIC never shut down the entrepreneur program (meaning they will give PR to anyone who's looking to invest/start a business in Canada).

Because otherwise, what kind of restaurant would actually take the effort to let others know who are their shareholders? I've never seen that before.

[GS8]

:suspicious:

Is this some sort of Chinese knockoff Cafe?

Of this one?

1028 Cafe Mochi Bubble Tea & Dessert - Home (http://www.1028cafe.com)

From their Google result: https://www.google.ca/#q=1029+cafe+richmond

Other 1029 or whatsoever has absolutely nothing to do with us.

:lawl:

[RevYouUp]

It's awesome marketing like westjet :troll:

1029 cafe
"Owners care"

BINGO!

[radioman]

1029 Cafe.

The name comes from the # of "investors".

[bcedhk]

shareholder #60 :notbad:

[ree666]

http://i.imgur.com/wnJVTfV.jpg
so thats why #36 investor angela wu got a share of the company too......

[bcrdukes]

Fuck all this noise. For bcrdukes' sake we need to know whether they serve fair trade organic coffee.

This. Or full on boycott. :accepted:

More so, if there aren't bike racks, bike lanes, and electric vehicle charging stations - no bueno. How the fuck am I supposed to park my 2015 Porsche Panamera S eHybrid and not be able to charge the damn thing? :fuckthatshit:

[Porschedog]

This showed up from a google search of the restaurant..

Well this place suddenly sounds a lot better :megusta:

[tiger_handheld]

59 Shareholders, some law firms don't even have that many partners.

I bet you they bought out the building and this is really a real estate flip more than a "cafe".

Calling the cafe will be closed within the next 2-3 years.

[ae101]

trying to compete with CHB :troll:

WOW arent u the 12 dolla balla :troll:

[jonwon]

inb4 op is one of these investors and lol at the guy on the last page of the book. "Innovation is the essence of future development. I hope 1029 will play a major role in consolidating resources and driving innovation in the local and international markets." It's a cafe for fucks sake

also would smash investor #60

[StylinRed]

One of the 1st restaurants my family had opened in china had like 100+ "shareholders", who didn't contribute, they were just chinese govt family members using the status as an avenue for...whatever. This was like a requirement to open (this was 20+ years ago) it opened with a lot of glitz and fanfare, Jiang or Jiangs wife, etc. was one of the ribbon cutters and what happened? it was open for about 2-3 years, before they got what they wanted out of it, and it closed up shop, and the property converted, but it won a lot of favours supposedly

so i imagine this is something similar, if not, then it's just a lot of chinese investors without a lot of money making a poor investment choice

[sonick]

trying to compete with CHB :troll:

Lol I was thinking the same when I saw the job ads

[danned]

selling ad?

[123654123]

in before swat comes in and disrespects someone

and as someone mentioned investor #60:megusta:

[white rocket]

So it's a rub'n'tug that serves coffee? Killer. See you Friday night :thumbsup:

[Mikoyan]

Also betting their parking lot is going to the background for a lot of Hall of Shame pictures.

[svelt]

All I got from this thread was that Starry Night is now closed, which is kind of sad. As someone else said in this thread, nothing quite like it in Richmond.

[Jaffray]

Everyone talking about shareholder #60 so I had to check it out...

I got 1029 problems but a bitch ain't one

[SkinnyPupp]

If I didn't know better, I'd think that OP is actually trolling, and that this is a sarcastic post showing how "beneficial" these usless and self-indulgent mainland "investments" in Canada are.

But I do know better, and all he did was prove the opposition's point. In fact he couldn't have done a better job of making himself look completely wrong. In one post, which he thought was actually a good thing, he shared precisely what everyone hates about this kind of thing.

[Vale46Rossi]

I am actually interested in what kind of coffee and food they serve =/

I see gululululemon as more along the lines of hyde. But if he was trolling us, that would be quite the twist.

No he's definitely not aware of what he just did... That's why it's extra fascinating
