218 million Yuan? That seems like an awfully small potato. I understand
that the average major league baseball stadium sell that much each year in
beer and hot dogs alone. Bill Gates makes that much in interest on his
money between the time he gets up and when he eats lunch. Even on a Sunday.
If they don't get some real money on the table soon, I doubt that they are
going to get much attention.
