Moutai Club · Full chronicle and history

The Beijing Maotai Club, located in a siheyuan near the Forbidden City, has been exposed by media as deserted, marking the complete end of private gathering places for elite capital.

Li Botan founded the Moutai Club in a government-owned courtyard house in Beijing, gathering red aristocrats, financial tycoons, and private entrepreneurs to form a covert organizational platform connecting power and capital.

Entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma, Guo Guangchang, and Ding Lei established the Jiangnan Club. Through joint investments in projects like Huayi Brothers and Cainiao Network, they further bound their capital into a community of shared interests.
