'Fruit King' moved by goodwill gesture

Huang Yi-chung turned up at Beijing's famed Bird's Nest stadium on Friday expecting to bid fiercely for the right to have his company's name emblazoned on the venue's 80,000 seats for an Aug 8 event.

Instead, he landed the deal for free.

"It's really a surprise I couldn't stop my legs from shaking at first. I believe it was done in the name of friendship," Huang told China Daily on Friday. He said the auction house gifted him the rights as a sign of friendship between the mainland and Taiwan.
