月饼变“味”了？ 
Mooncakes acquire networking flavor 
 
Mooncakes is a traditional delicacy gifted to families and friends during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s now become an important ingredient in maintaining business and work relations. 
 
Elsa Wang works for a public relations firm in Beijing. She said the company started budgeting months earlier and has been delivering mooncakes as early as a month ago. 
 
She said it doesn't matter how much a package costs. Mooncakes are the best way to say: Let us keep in touch. 
 
Someone believes how many mooncakes one gets measures his intangible value. The more coupons one receives, the more respect one has. 
 
The market has reacted to the increasing demand with expensive packages to lure high-end consumers.
