Lehman went to the Boao Forum for Asia, on the southern Chinese island of Hainan, in pursuit of a partner for a brokerage joint-venture in China. Yang Zee Ha, correspondent for Nihao (Beijing), reported that Lehman was conducting "active discussions" with "potential partners" for a "long-term liaison." No names were given, but hotel records indicated that Rose Tatou, Coco Riesling, China Dollar, Samantha Fang, and Ho Ra were among the nommes de guerre chosen by women guests at the posh Hainan Retreat, where "partner suitability" tests were performed in suite #611 last week.
