The ultimate proof that China is a capitalistic country
There is nothing that reeks more like abusive capitalism than subcontracting. If you are the subcontractor of the subcontractor of a subcontractor, you basically are a underpaid, rights-less worker drone.
But who would have thought that this very special example of subcontracting would come from China?
Tan Youhui, a businessman in Guanxi, China, paid a hitman $282,000 to take out a competitor. But that hitman hired another hitman, offering $141,000 for the contract. That hitman hired another hitman. He subcontracted too. Then that hitman hired another hitman. And that hitman approached the target, a Mr. Wei, and proposed they fake his death, so everyone gets paid and no-one gets hurt. Unfortunately for Tan and all five hitmen, Wei went to the cops.
I'll take a shot and bet that the last contractor didn't know half of this himself.
