A few years ago, my wife was at her class reunion. She ran her mouth and was bragging that her American husband was making money, and he 'rich;
So one of her classmates heard her, and decided to go into business to copy me. Now another one from her town is also out copying me.
The Chinese and Filipinos have this thing where they see someone with a successful business, will just go out and copy that other persons business. This is why you will see 10 stores selling nuts and bolts on 1 block. Or you will se 60 stalls selling all the exact same cashew nuts, pork rinds, and peanut brittle cheek by jowel in a 100 yard stretch of road shoulder.
You wonder why Chinese are always copying ideas. Well this is why. It is how they do things.
