for discussion's sake, is there a difference in measure words in Chinese between playing upright bass (cello), and and electric bass? especially when you use a bow on the upright, then switch to your fingers?

just for discussion's  sake, why is the measure word for summary report "fen" as in "yī fèn zǒngjié bàogào" instead of "yī zhāng zǒngjié bàogào" with paper measure words?

we need a lesson on getting your bike stolen and then filing the police report and then having the police come about 2 hours later and filing the report, and then hearing from the a couple of Germans that their bikes were stolen a couple of days earlier, and then telling the landlord your bike was stolen and then getting a lecture from the landlord saying that you should have not locked your bike outside so that you can think "Dude, the horse already escaped from the barn".

And the only people wearing helmets are the pizza/food delivery dudes/dudettes.

At least in the US, this feels like a meeting a CEO/president would have with his/her direct reports, since it goes across sales, marketing, and other groups.  Not sure if this is how it goes in China, it would be interesting to know.
