The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

Chapter 1385 1388: What Is a Capitalist

John Herd wasn't directly overwhelmed by the benefits thrown by Mao Tanfeng; instead, he was very clear-headed and said, "I'm aware of the Mao Family's strength, being the largest business family in the entire Jiangnan Province. Setting up more retail stores in Jiangnan Province, Tiannan Province, and Miaojiang Province doesn't seem to be difficult, does it? Why do you want to collaborate with me and share the profits?"

Herd always felt something was fishy about these matters. He had known Mao Tanfeng for two years. Although this guy was always generous, even the most generous people wouldn't go so far as to share something related to family interests with others, would they?

Mao Tanfeng immediately laughed, "Haha, Herd, I understand what you mean. However, the reason for all of this is quite simple. You have to know that in Huaya, if you sell the same thing, as long as you have the American language labeled on the product, many people will chase after it!"

"Such a thing exists?!" Herd said in astonishment, "Isn't labeling in American just a convenience for those who only speak it? Could this really be a reason for people to chase after it?"

Herd couldn't figure out why this situation would occur.

Mao Tanfeng sneered, "Of course it is! This is a very common phenomenon in Huaya. When products are labeled in foreign languages like American, Island Country language, Fusang language, many people think it's imported foreign goods, very good, and then they would chase after it to buy."

"But... Why is this so? Can labeling in another country's language have such a big effect?" Herd still didn't understand.

"It's all because many Huaya people inherently believe that foreign things are good." Mao Tanfeng said lightly, "In their perception, Huaya-made things are bad, foreign things are good. The moon abroad is rounder than at home, the air in America is fresher than at home, some even say American air has a sweet scent."

Herd was speechless, he frowned and said, "It would be nice if our American air were really that good. The air in American countryside is surely good, but isn't the air quality in rural areas good all over the world?"

"I don't know, anyway, someone did say that, but does it matter to us? It's not important at all! Herd, don't tell me you're a philanthropist? You still sympathize with those lowly poor people?" Mao Tanfeng laughed and said.

Herd laughed, "Of course not. For me, as long as I can make money and manage the risk, I can do it! Actually, what Marx said was very correct: with 10% profit, I ensure to use it everywhere; with 20% profit, I become active everywhere; with 50% profit, I dare to take risks; with 100% profit, I dare to trample all human laws; with 300% profit, I would risk the gallows!"

Marx's sarcastic words about capitalists were now nothing but a joke to Herd.

Mao Tanfeng then laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Right, right! You think just like me. I don't care about the so-called patriotic sentiment, as long as we can make money, who isn't collaboration? Since many Huaya people like imported goods, then I'll sell imported goods! Moreover, your company is one of the John family's retail chain, and with the sign of John Retail, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in Jiangnan, Tiannan, and Miaojiang Provinces!"

"Hahaha! All right! Then we'll settle this!" Herd was also very pleased. Entering the Huaya market and being assisted by a local powerhouse like the Mao Family, his business would be smoother and smoother.

"Since we've settled it, let's proceed without delay!" Mao Tanfeng said.

"Great! You and I are both straightforward people! Come on, let's sign the contract!" Herd immediately said.

Very soon, the agreement between Mao Tanfeng and Herd reached the Mao Family, and everyone cheered. Once their joint retail network with John Retail was established in the three provinces, they could gradually take down the Xu Liu Group-product retail stores.

After all, although Xu Liu Group's products were popular, relying solely on their products wasn't enough to sustain a retail store.

At this time, Xu Hao still didn't know about these events; he was looking for a job with Bing Wanxin.

Bing Wanxin, this girl, was dissatisfied and insisted on finding a job first; she really didn't want to work for Xu Hao.

She just came out of the Ice Palace and had no concept of money. She owed Xu Hao a total of two to three hundred million over these days. Xu Hao paid her a salary of one million a month, more than ten million a year, but it would take twenty to thirty years to pay off two to three hundred million!
