Director Chou becomes a boss, selling curios
by kelvin@multistars - 10th February 2004
Jay has really become the real "Director Chou", he has invested together with MTV director Kuang-Sheng Fu to open the curio store, today in the afternoon it officially opens, most of the things in the store are trophies that Jay swept back when he went abroad, due to the fact that he couldn't put them in his house or the company anymore, all he could do was open a curio store and let everyone come and see his collection. Just the decoration and rent has cost $4,000,000, Jay has invested more than 50% so he is a big stockholder, but he won't manage anything, everything will be taken care of by the other two partners and his mother.
Jay's curio store is open at Taipei East District's small alley, since Director Chou wants to open his store and be low-key, therefore the store doesn't have a sign, people who don't have a sharp enough eye won't be able to discover it, today in the afternoon the curio store officially opened, being scared that the media won't find it, Director Chou especially drove his pink curio Benz and turned it into live sign. Even though it doesn't have a sign, but the store has a name, it's name is "Omni By J.F.K.", the "J.F.K." is taken from the 3 bosses' names abbreviation, J of course is Jay, K is director Kuang-Sheng Fu (Ken), F is Kuang-Sheng Fu's female friend Fur.
Jay likes old things, he, who is busy, often uses his chances of going abroad to work to go to different flea markets to search for treasures, including Paris, Prague, etc...Director Chou once spent loads in these places, some of these things have only just been transported to Taiwan from the sea, not only is Director Chou's home already full, he can't even put any more at Alfa Music record company, a lot of them are predicted to be put in the store, at the moment they are still piled at the front door of the record company.
Because there are simply too many, so many there aren't places to pile them, only then did Jay discuss it with Kuang-Sheng Fu, why not just open a curio store and be done with it. Most of the things that Jay falls in love with are lamps, chairs, etc...furniture types, the other female partner purchases mostly curio clothes, shoes, etc...Jay has also encouraged youngsters, "Don't think that curios are very expensive, some things like lamps, actually aren't very expensive."
As for if Jolin Choi or Liu Geng Hong, etc... good friends sees something they like in the store, Jay generously expressed: "If you want anything just take it, no need to spend money!"
