Most restaurateurs aren't willing to cough up RMB60,000 to purchase and ship an iconic 1952 British telephone box 15,000 kilometers from Kent to Guangzhou,but Jeremy Sargent is not your average proprietor.At 3am on a brisk night in 2013,his stately,900-kilogram K6 kiosk was lowered carefully onto the patio of the Happy Monk Jianwu,where it made history as the first of its kind to ever reach Chinese soil.The following evening,a surprise launch party saw hundreds gather to celebrate the emblematic box's arrival,including prior British Consul General Alastair Morgan.
