So, two things for the Dojoers that are not on the Facebook Shenmue 500k site:

Alimn was able to chat up Mark Cerny for a bit as well:

I talked to Mark about Shenmue....(He's such an awesome person)
"It's not easy these days to find publishers who want to afford those much...", That's what Mark told me.
He said Yu is trying hard to find publishers these days (that's why he's here...)
I personally catched the fact that remaining chapters of Shenmue is much bigger than Shenmue 1 & 2 so for that Suzuki needs lots of money & a strong publisher.
Something that grantees that saga comes to a conclusion not that we end up waitting 15 more years for Shenmue 4.
PS note: GDC isn't over yet & we have E3 ahead...GDC is usually where devs gather to prepare while E3s, TGSs & ... are the real show downs.
I may edit this & add more of what Mark & others told me, but basically that's all we must know as of now. #SaveShenmue #GDC2014
Just keepin' the spirit alive :)
