Hundreds go bald for Zhang

‘Future richest man’ promised incentive to dinner attendees

HUNDREDS of people attended a so-called charity dinner allegedly organised by Chinese national Zhang Jian – the self-proclaimed “future richest man in the world”, major Chinese dailies reported.

There were those who came with their heads shaved, or with their hair dyed yellow, to show their support. It is understood that those who did so were given RM1,000 each as incentive, China Press reported.

Previous media reports had said that Zhang is relying on a team of bald female assistants to promote his latest investment.

One of the women, who arrived at the dinner with her luggage, said her children tried to stop her from attending the event.

The woman, who invested in a coin called Wu Xin Bi, promoted by Zhang, said she decided to move out from her house to stay with her brother after the dinner.

In a further twist, the event organiser was supposed to give out donations to some charity organisations during the event, but had yet to do so at midnight, five hours after the dinner started.

Eight charity organisations decided not to attend the event after the media reported about Zhang’s “company”.

The person-in-charge of the event said Zhang decided not to attend the dinner as he did not want to create chaos.

There were speculations that the 51-year-old singer wanted to accompany his wife, Moka Fang, who is expected to deliver this year end.

The media had reported that this was because some Chinese believe that such news should only be shared after three months to prevent a miscarriage.
