    They're going to buy the Conservative Party and run it into the ground?

    Old news, it does look as if Mr Gao is giving up life in China and is moving his businesses to the Western Hemisphere, the Saints are just a way to get his feet under the carpet in the UK.

    Checking the financials on Lander, and only now realized that it's in RMB and not dollars. Now I cannot figure out how it ever had a valuation of $1b+...their revenues from the past four quarters equate to about £86m, and per Dreyer it owns assets of £286m against debts of £126m. Not a small company by any stretch, but unless it used to own a lot of other stuff, I'm perplexed how it made Gao a (paper) billionaire.

    Would explain why the company had difficulty getting funding to buy the club; its net asset value might not have exceeded the value of the loan he was seeking.
