Lionel Messi and Chan Seven - 20100305

If we are under the barter economy, how many Chan Seven does one Lionel Messi worth?

Silly question. We should consider in whose shoe we are in first. If I were Chan's father, even a hundred Messies would not count. However, if I were the owner of Barca, a hundred Chans would have never meant as a little toe of Messi. So, intimacy is one of the main factors to decide upon this puzzle.

Suppose we are impartial football fans, the footballer of the world would no doubt outweigh the footballer of Hong Kong. But, one day, if Messi leaves, it would create only one vacancy. That is, no matter the quality of the successor, that vacancy could only be filled in by one person, even he is Chan Seven. Thus, realistically speaking, we could only exchange one Chan for one Messi.

Swapping is an ordinary business inside any organization. Willingly or unwillingly, by chance, undesirable ones would be sitting next to you without the slightest hint. To avoid bullets from the new unwelcomed neighbour, let's try our best to be as agile as Messi and as robust as Chan.
