Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.
He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...
Master Lei's main focus is also on this nine-story building.
This was the first time he had taken on such a large project.
If it weren't for the experience Zhang Weiguo taught him, he would never have been able to accomplish such a big project.
He had no idea how to start. Such a big project was definitely a test for him.
This is not one of the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors.
His craft is more about traditional architecture.
If you ask him to build a nine-story pagoda, he is confident that he can do it.
This is what we do with things that are passed down from our ancestors.
Aren’t these traditional buildings good?
That would definitely be good.
Then why not do it?
The cost is too high.
At this time, the times are a bit inappropriate.
It's too high-profile to do something like this.
The characteristic of this era is diligence and thrift. If you go against this era, there will be problems.
It is inappropriate to build such a building at this time.
Building this kind of building requires both time and money.
The amount of wood needed alone is a huge sum.
Zhang Weiguo doesn't have much of this kind of wood, so he needs to buy some.
For such a big house, the wood alone would be a huge expense.
They are all mortise and tenon structures, and the wood used is of the best quality.
Even if you can buy so much wood at once, you can't use it directly.
It still needs to be soaked and dried, and it will take several years after taking all the measures.
Zhang Weiguo doesn't have that long to wait.
He also needs to seize the opportunity to make some money before others start the clothing business.
We can't miss such an opportunity, it's really precious.
If others had done it first, Zhang Weiguo would have no advantage.
If Zhang Weiguo wants to do it, he has the power to set prices.
Zhang Weiguo didn't want to set the price too high, as that would result in too few people buying it.
There are different price ranges, so there is something for everyone.
Whatever clothes you want to buy, you can find them.
There is only one place like this in the city.
If they want to shop for clothes, this is the first choice.
The most common ones are cheap clothes.
Nowadays, clothes are of a single style and there are simply not that many varieties to choose from.
As long as you have enough goods, you can quickly gain fame.
At this time, as long as there are enough styles, it will be able to attract the attention of these people.
These people have never seen such a style.
It’s hard not to be tempted when you see so many good things at once.
As long as more people wear it, more people will buy it.
Everyone is wearing the same clothes, there is no comparability at all, they are all work clothes, with a single style and color, there is no difference.
At this moment, it is hard to tell who is better looking.
They are all wearing the same clothes. If you want to stand out, it depends on your own foundation. Whoever looks good will look good.
At this time, what matters is everyone's appearance.
Whoever is good-looking has an advantage, and external things like clothes cannot add any color to them.
But it's different with so many clothes.
Different people can always find a piece of clothing that suits them.
Although it cannot be said to be a complete change, it can add a lot of color and have a very big impact on a person.
At this time, the advantages of good-looking clothes are revealed.
In the past, everyone wore the same clothes, and I couldn't stand out. Now, I wear nice clothes, and those who couldn't compare with me before are now not as good-looking as me.
Raise yourself to a higher level and you will immediately feel that the money is worth it.
People who were not as good as me before, now look better than me after putting on nice clothes.
Then I have to go buy clothes too, I can’t be outdone by others.
Under such comparison, these people's desire to buy increased, and the sales of clothes also improved.
There was no need for any publicity at all. With these people competing with each other, the whole city knew about this place within a month.
Once they know about such places, they will come and buy.
No one would think that they live worse than others, especially those around them.
They are more competitive. Whatever you have, I must have too.
Even if this thing is useless, I still have to buy it.
There is no other way, everyone just compares with each other.
In the past, everyone competed with each other in food.
At that time, no one could eat pork every day without money.
However, in order to avoid being looked down upon by others, they could not tell others about the food they ate no matter how badly it was.
You should show that you are eating well, so that others will look at you with higher regard.
What should people do if there is no delicious food at this time?
Then get a piece of pig skin and wipe your mouth.
In this way, when others see the oil on your mouth, they will think that the food is delicious.
When you are at home, others cannot see what you eat. But it is different when you go out. If you eat good food, there will definitely be greasy food on your lips.
When you see the sweet taste on someone's lips, you know that he has eaten well.
This way of judgment soon became known to everyone.
Once you know it, find a way to crack it.
They can't eat delicious food every day, but they have no problem getting a piece of pig skin.
When eating meat, save the rind.
In this way, when there was no meat to eat, they would finish their meal, wipe their mouths with the pig skin, and then go out.
This way, others won't know what they are eating.
Later, everyone did the same.
No one can tell who eats better.
There is grease on the mouth.
Everyone wants to compare themselves with others. No one wants to admit that they live worse than others. We are all the same people, living in the same environment and having the same job.
How could there be such a huge gap? This is impossible.
Especially those who chat together, when they have nothing to do, they just compare with each other.
Compare food, clothing, husbands, and children.
When they have nothing to do, what they talk about most is these family matters.
If there is one aspect in which others cannot compare to her, she will feel extremely satisfied.
Especially those unfortunate things can highlight her happiness.
She felt extremely satisfied as long as there was someone who was not living as well as she was.
It is their common problem to use other people's misfortune to highlight their happiness.
Every one of them thought so.
Sometimes, this kind of comparison is unconscious, and they themselves are not even aware of it.
It is an unconscious behavior, or a subconscious behavior.
It is this kind of behavior that makes some people very unhappy.
They thought they didn't want this to happen, and such a thing was also a blow to them.
