Are you sure you got enough personal achievements into one business card there, Chen Guangbiao?

When it comes to the business of self-promotion, whether it’s a CV, an advertisement or a business card, people expect you to be a little boastful, but Chinese multi-millionaire Chen Guangbiao has gone just a little bit overboard.

Guangbiao is currently trying to buy the New York Times – for a couple billion dollars apparently, a spicy meatball indeed – and in an effort to help people to get to know him a little better, according to Business Insider, he has been handing out these English-language business cards to US journalists.

Quite how anyone could fail to be impressed by Guangbiao’s wide and incredibly varied range of personal accomplishments we’re not sure, but if that wasn’t enough, surely that inch-perfect Johnny Unitas haircut will win over the naysayers.

Puts all other business cards in the ha’penny place.
