Selling Air in China
Here’s a nugget about Chinese capitalism. A businessman is selling World Cup air in China.
With no official license as of now, the company has given four bags of the “auspicious air” to some football fans as present, the report said. “I will be giving out another 12 bags, on first come first serve basis,” Li was quoted as saying.
He has received 25 plastic bags full of “World Cup air”, which he intends to sell for 50 yuan ($ 6.25) each.
The bags are approximately 3 centimetres by 9 centimetres in size. Unfortunately, the air in four of the bags leaked out during the journey from Germany to China, Li said.
