Bent solely on profit, his brother Wang Manxi makes a fortune selling fake ratsbane and embezzling public funds to resell color TV sets at a profit. He also engages in many other kinds of shady deals, but the town government presents him with a “gold nameplate” with these characters on it: Good at Making Money.
