A lot of Chinese Americans took over these cookie factories. And that got me down the road of like, well, who's writing the fortunes? There's a guy named Donald Lau, who's the CFO of Wanton Food Company, the largest fortune cookie maker in the world.

If we missed him, I can't believe we would miss that guy. There's no way. But as a recap, he wrote him for 30 years. He used to write two to three per day. Now it's two or three per month because they have just thousands of them. And he got that job by default because he spoke the best English at the company.
