Chapter 608 Some people think at night, while others live!
Today I was discussing business matters with fellow businessmen Wu Jun and Luo Jun. When it came to the ready-made garment industry, Wu Jun was very confident in the current ready-made garment industry. However, I tried to persuade him to act calmly and not to blindly expand production.
In recent years, due to the construction of sewing machines in Beijing, a female worker can sew two or three pieces of clothing in a day, which has greatly reduced the price of ready-made clothes. Now not only the people in the city like to buy ready-made clothes, but even the women in the countryside do not.
People like to make their own clothes, this is a big trend.
However, as the prices of sewing machines are becoming more and more affordable, many home-based garment workshops with one person and one machine have appeared on the market. The emergence of these small garment workshops will have an impact on the business of large-scale garment workshops. Gu Ziwu believes that,
The size of the garment store should not be too large!
After Huang Zongxi returned home, he started writing a diary by lighting an oil lamp overnight, writing down what he saw, heard, and thought about in the mall during the day.
Although he is now fully involved in the business world, he still wants to be a different businessman. It is best to become a businessman who writes books and talks, leaving some usable business knowledge for future generations, and living up to his word in business.
My years of hard work in studying.
After becoming a businessman, Huang Zongxi discovered that this profession was actually very knowledgeable, but there were not many books for practical application and use by businessmen.
He felt that this was an opportunity for him. If he could write a serious and useful business book, his life would be worthwhile.
After writing what he had seen today, Huang Zongxi stopped writing, looked at the oil lamp in front of him and began to reverie. As a wealthy man, the oil lamp Huang Zongxi used was naturally the best in the world.
The lampshade is made of solid-colored glass, and the lamp oil is the most expensive kerosene that is flammable and has low smoke. You get what you pay for. This kind of oil lamp is bright and clean, which is perfect for him to read at night!
Refining lamp oil from coal should be a great meritorious deed. With this oil, the oil grown from the ground and animal fats such as sheep fat can be left for the people to eat. The newspaper said that people
Eat more fats and oils, so that you will eat less staple food and you will be more energetic.
This principle should be correct. Nowadays, the complexion of the people in Songjiang Prefecture is much better than in previous years. It is rare to see people with ephemeral complexions, edema and numb eyes.
The price of kerosene is lower than that of cooking oil, so it will be much cheaper for ordinary people to use it. However, the low cost does not seem to mean that it saves money. In the past few years, ordinary people almost did not light lights at night, that is, in the homes of very wealthy families.
There are lights only at night.
Nowadays, people from small households will light an oil lamp at night! As a result, although the price of lamp oil has been lowered, people have spent a lot more on lamp oil.
It’s not just lamp oil, clothing, food, and various daily necessities that cost more!
It is much easier for people to make money than before, and they earn much more money than before. However, after all the expenses throughout the year, there does not seem to be much left over?
Even if you have a large balance, most of it will be spent eventually. Even ordinary people’s homes now have glass windows!
When farmers in the countryside build new houses, they dare not even think about brick houses! There are more and more places to spend money! In short, there are more places to make money and more places to spend money. It seems that there is always a way to use the hard-earned money of the people
Spend your money and exchange it for useful or useless goods.
So in the past few years, have the people benefited or not? Huang Zongxi looked at the oil lamp and thought about an essential question!
You should have benefited, right? Although these have become food and material desires, they ultimately fall on you!
Before the New Deal, the people probably didn’t even have the chance to satisfy these desires! In addition, no matter how much or how little they earned, the people of Songjiang Prefecture now had many more ways to survive than before the liberation!
Huang Zongxi thought for a long time, and finally affirmed the current changes and development! Development in the normal era will not eliminate the gap between rich and poor, unless extreme circumstances occur.
The poor will not have much real savings for their own free disposal in any era! But this situation cannot negate the significance of the development and progress of the times!
A good era, an era of progress, allows people to have more choices for survival and fewer conditions for survival. It allows ordinary people to have more possibilities and fewer necessary conditions for survival.
At night, people who love thinking are thinking, and people who don’t use their brains have their own things to do! The nightlife in Songjiang Fucheng is quite lively. The rich hang out in various entertainment venues, and the workers also have their own way of spending the night.
The workers' time during the day belongs to the capitalists, and only one or two hours at night belong to them.
Liu Hailong was a garment worker at Wu's Garment Factory. He had just paid his monthly payment at the factory today, so he made an appointment with a few familiar workers to go to a night market stall not far from the factory to have his teeth punched.
The patrons at this night market stall are all workers from nearby workshops, and the food is relatively cheap and affordable. When night falls, the business is quite prosperous.
"Old Shen Tou, grill two fish, get some stir-fried vegetables, and if there is some offal, get another pound of offal, and just add some cheap shrimps and crabs to the rest. By the way, give us another pot.
Mix rice with a pot of military knife wine." After sitting down at the stall, Liu Hailong ordered the food very familiarly.
Even though Liu Hailong ordered a lot, they were actually bargains. Songjiang Prefecture is close to a river and it is easy to get fish and river fresh food, so the price is very cheap, much more cost-effective than beef, mutton and pork.
Pork offal and the like are also cheap, so the food you order can be said to be quite affordable!
"Brothers, today there is no pork offal, but there is meat from the head. How about replacing it with meat from the head? This thing is rich in oil and water, so it is perfect for drinking." The owner of the food stall saw Liu Hailong and the others ordering food, and hurriedly greeted him.
stand up.
"Just replace it with head meat. It's not much more expensive than offal. Old Shentou, please make a bigger portion. We are regular customers. We all go to your stall after paying monthly."
"Don't worry, brothers, the quantity will definitely be enough! Lao Shen and I have set up a stall here for two years, and all the business we do is from repeat customers. If the portion is not enough, can we still open a stall?" Migrant workers' rice, taste and so on
He also said that the portion must be sufficient. If the portion is insufficient, the migrant workers will not be willing to come.
Fortunately, the consumers in this night market are not heavy manual laborers. Otherwise, if you set up a stall at the night market, you might lose money!
Old Chentou was busy for a while, and Liu Hailong and the others had their food ready. After it was served, a wave of new guests arrived.
Oil lamps hanging on the stalls, temporary tarpaulins, mobile stove fires, busy vendors and diners coming and going, the alleys of Songjiang Mansion are full of fireworks at night!
This kind of consumption scene is not high-end, but it only appears in peacetime!
