In this chapter, we learn that Simon is eavesdropping on his brother and sister-in-law's argument. He's worried about what to do now that he's found out. He asks the Netizen if he can join them instead of going to the wine party, since he can't beat his brother. The two of them discuss whether or not they should join them at the party instead, since they're not going to be able to beat their brother. They remind each other of the meaning of socialism, and they recite the core socialist principles aloud. They're interrupted by Mr. Jin, who tells them that they've found out about the "nail households," or people who refuse to vacate their homes to make room for development. He figures that this is a good opportunity for them to make a lot of money, since the land is so important to them. They decide to go to the party anyway.
