I understand you want to make money , but having your chips in other peoples designs would make you money not cost you money.
This is your mistake. It isn't about money. It is about respect, and by "respected" it one from the Occident should probably think "feared". My shortest explanation is that ngzhang belongs to a class of people for whom having 90% of $1000 is more than having 10% of $100000. It isn't about getting more money, it is about getting more respect. It is a fundamental difference in motivation.
