    His parents are planning to open a large Chinese restaurant named "Yao Restaurant & Bar" at Houston. The opening day will be around the Chinese Spring Festival. His mom will be one of the cooks.

    If Yao keeps play the way JVG forces him to play, he will become the manager of his own restaurant in two years.

    .....which would be totally awesome. It would be like a sitcom. It would have a laugh track and they could have a silly catch phrase, where his father would go "Yaoooooooow!" every time he drops a pot or something.

    umm. the restaurant is not opened by Yao's parents... it's opened by someone whose last name is Yao... Not related to Yao Ming.

    That means nothing. Yao's mom is just bored. They can sell the resturant if Yao decides to leave in 2 years.

    Then he can stomp his feet and go

    "Darn, darn, darn!" as spakle falls on his head.

    All kidding aside I will need to check it out when it opens.

    Not true. Yao's parents do have part of the ownership. Yao's mom will show off some of her best dishes too. Also, there will be a custom room designed for Yao (bigger table, chair, even bigger computer moniter.). Regular customers are allowed to use Yao's room when it is not occupied.

    I agree. A year's profit from the restaurant will probably be less than what Yao Ming is able to make in a week.

    agreed, it can be a franchise, originally headquartered in Houston. has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Yao's future settlement.
