不要忘记阶级斗争! Never forget class struggle!

"In a hotel in another city, a company manager and his three guests spent more than $32,000 on a single meal. Uneasy about the executive’s putting it all on his credit card, the hotel insisted he pay cash. After much argument, the boss-man called an underling and told him to get in a van and bring the money over — in 1 -yuan notes. The hotel had to deploy its entire staff to count the stacks of low-denomination bills, while the manager sat on the sofa, leafed through a magazine and said, “See, guys, I can afford to pay. Can you afford to count?”"
