alltheway ----- thanks for posting your reply from doug. looking at it, it lends itself to a number of issues we already know, and leading off is wang needs money. if wang has met with a number of groups, and if that is a fact, he will need to give up something in return. it really is that simple. when you are in dire need, the party across the table has all the aces. good news is that fcpg is being recognized as a going concern, but to move forward, current business model must be adjusted, a certain rub on wang. his impatience could be his undoing if not careful. without capital, fcpg cant grow, and if fcpg cant grow and offer additional product line, contracts will move to a greater source. depending on which side of the table one is at, either wang has the wrong support team in as much as they could not get capital, and they should all be terminated. on the other side, is wang that stubborn he thinks he knows everything? to me and it is a simple reiteration from a number of posters here. 1. he needs to concede on some issues and raise capital now 2. surround himself with more competent people or unload payroll 3. find a partner or agree to be acquired 4. consider moving to hk exchange because it will provide more visibility 5. ask Anhui to take a formal position in fcpg and give them a board seat or two for infusion of capital. this is only a short list. I don't really buy into what doug said to you however, only 50% at best. imo, his response was vanilla, had no substance. doug obviously gave you permission to post an excerpt. if I were wang, and I read it, I would give doug in whatever capacity he is in a red slip. portrays a company in disarray and one in which the big wangster did not have faith in his own group. summing up, a whole lot of nothing to me. I am still betting fcpg reports favorable numbers for 2012 and first qtr 2013. I still think wang will get capital or be acquired / merged. options left ------ zero. wang will not allow himself to be taken out and walk away with nothing. he needs to grow up, step aside as president and bring in a rainmaker who knows how to run fcpg top to bottom. will he be willing to do it?????????? have a good weekend everyone, david
