The cost of the bill, according to the newspaper "Daily Mail" British, about 60 thousand dollars.

The Shanghai authorities conducted an investigation with the restaurant after the meal pictures were posted on the social sites and the bill was eventually paid.

The bill includes 20 cold drinks, sauces, drinks and cigarettes, plus a special meal for the driver, plus service charges, estimated at $ 6,000.

The dinner was attended by Jiang Xin, the son of a well-known Chinese businessman named Jiang Kunlong.
