Chen Lei, from Shandong Province, won the chance to have the talk with Ren by bidding 450000 yuan (72270 US dollars) a month ago. Chen said he sent Shandong's local product Dezhou braised chicken to Ren as a gift, while Ren gave him books he had written in return. Ren treated Chen to a meal of hot pot in Ren's restaurant in Beijing and the lunch time did not count towards the three-hour discussion. The talk started from 1:30 pm and ended at 4:30 pm after lunch. Their topics covered politics, society, public welfare and enterprise management, but not a word about the real estate business. Chen joked that he felt he earned 225000 yuan through the talk with Ren.

Beijing's emergency pollution measures - Biz Wire - January 23,2013 - BONTV China

Go to www.bon.tv to watch the full episode Follow us on Weibo weibo.com or Twitter.com/ChinaBizWire A deep breath, as Beijing is to unveil unprecedented new rules governing how China's capital reacts to hazardous air pollution, as the issue threatens to become a rallying point for wider political dissatisfaction.

Domestic media have run stories describing the expensive air purifier's government officials enjoy in their homes and offices, alongside reports of special organic farms so cadres need not risk suffering from recurring food safety scandals.
