Mr. Long-dou is a very rich Chinese businessman and entrepreneur who appears in The Red Ball. He is one of Ed Wuncler, Sr.'s main "enemies", because Wuncler has to pay off huge debts to him. In order to pay off his debts, Wuncler bets everything he owns, including the town of Woodcrest , on a kickball game between their two kickball teams. He then leaves Woodcrest and leaves Wuncler alone after Wuncler's team wins against his team.
