Two quick ways of tapping your guanxi for RMB10,000!

It has been brought to our attention that the Public Security Bureau has offered a whopping RMB10,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest of eight brick factory foreman wanted in connection to the ongoing slavery scandal in Shanxi province! We know Shanghaiist readers are all very sociable creatures and have wide-ranging contacts, so let's give you their names and see if any of you know them:
Chen Zhiming
Zhou Qiusheng
Zhang Zhenjiang
Yao Haitao
Ke Changjiang
Ke Changfu
Wang Ziguo
Wang Zihong
Also, Marc van der Chijs of Spill Group Asia and its game development company Zlong Games is hunting for a Shanghai-based CFO and has also very kindly offered a reward of RMB10,000 to anyone (including blogs like this one!) that can help them find the following person:
The ideal candidate would be a native Chinese with at least 5 years experience as an auditor for one of the big international accounting firms in China, plus preferably several years experience for a company in a financial management position. M&A experience would be a plus. The CFO should be an expert in Chinese accounting and taxation law (CPA title preferred), and needs to be fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese.
Let the headhunt begin! And do, remember to let them know you found out about it through Shanghaiist! Hopefully they will be kind enough to give us some kickback commission!
