I feel this project has great potential for success.

His daughter Happy, born in 2003 is bilingual, speaking English and Mandarin. Rogers says China’s yuan, in 15 years, could potentially grow into the world’s reserve currency–if it becomes freely convertible and China opens its economy more widely–as it does have the size and the liquidity as well as a fast-expanding economy.

Your services, Kevin, will be in much demand. Good luck with your idea and please keep us informed of your progress.
