The life of Lao Liu since 1944
Chapter 80 Pre-purchase of stockings technology and incident
The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the leaves in the yard were rustling. Hou Jie sat in the yard, squinting his eyes, looking at the sky, thinking about how to deal with the huge wealth he had earned.
"How should I spend so much money?" Hou Jie muttered to himself. He knew that money only had value when it was circulated, but the cost of building a house was limited after all. He needed a larger spending project that could both solve the employment problem and drive economic development.
Just as he was lost in thought, an idea suddenly struck him: "Build a factory!" This idea instantly occupied his mind. If he wanted to spend money on a large scale, building a factory was undoubtedly one of the best ways.
However, building a factory is not an easy task. Hou Jie knows that he needs to consider many factors, not only sufficient capital investment, but also a labor-intensive industry. In this way, it can provide a large number of employment opportunities and promote local economic prosperity.
After careful consideration, Hou Jie decided to start with the four major industries of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Finally, he set his sights on the clothing industry - clothing manufacturing.
Coincidentally, his fiancée is engaged in clothing production and has a deep understanding of this field. Hou Jie secretly rejoiced: "Haha, this is very convenient! If I encounter something I don't understand, I can ask her for help."
Thinking of this, Hou Jie couldn't help but reveal a sly smile: "Hehe, why not just make stockings! That's a good thing." But he soon realized that it was not easy to achieve this goal.
To make stockings, you first have to build a large spinning and weaving mill and master the relevant technology. This is not an easy task and requires huge investment of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
Despite facing numerous difficulties, Hou Jie was not discouraged. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would succeed.
"It not only solves the employment problem but also allows me to make money. Why not do it?" Hou Jie said to himself with a determined light in his eyes.
I remember that in the past, stocking technology was first invented by a German scientist.
When he got out of the house, Hou Jie stopped a rickshaw. "Master, let's go to the German company."
The rickshaw driver warmly welcomed him, "Okay, please take a seat, sir."
Since China's own production technology and equipment were relatively backward at that time, and many technologies were completely behind those of foreign countries, he tried to inquire about the material of stockings. He said that he was very optimistic about this project and was willing to pay a high price to purchase the right to use the relevant equipment and technology.
No matter what the outcome is, he will try his best to acquire this technology to promote the progress and development of China's manufacturing industry.
Although his purpose was not pure, to some extent, his ultimate goal was indeed stockings, because that could satisfy a special fetish deep in his heart. He silently said in his heart: "I, Hou Jie, am willing to bear the stigma for the further development of the clothing manufacturing industry." After all, no matter how bad the technology is, it is still a technology.
You know, in his previous life, he was a complete novice, and apart from eating, drinking, singing, and reading novels, he knew almost nothing. So, when he came to this world and found that he had some skills, he was so happy that he almost flew away.
If the stockings were really successfully manufactured, it would not only earn foreigners money, but more importantly, it would satisfy their selfish desires.
After all, who doesn’t have a little hobby? If someone asks him about it, he will proudly answer: “I, Hou Jie, have made great contributions to the clothing manufacturing industry.”
However, if someone questions whether the person who made the stockings is a scoundrel, he will respond without hesitation: "This has nothing to do with me, Hou Jie! It was a complete accident."
Of course, if his wife knew about this, she would definitely accuse him without hesitation: "You are a pervert and a bad guy."
As a time traveler, he knows how much profit there is. It's not just a hobby. As time goes by, this kind of stockings will become more and more popular. Women will buy this new type of stockings, and their ability to attract money is terrifying. This is a highly profitable industry. He will be rich just by relying on this, and he can afford to support 20 dolls.
The invention of this German scientist in history not only changed women's dressing habits, but also changed his own destiny. His company gradually developed into one of the world's largest stockings manufacturers, providing beautiful clothes for women all over the world.
After detailed discussion and agreement, Hou Jie and the other party determined a cooperation plan. He then left his detailed address and informed that if there was any progress or news, they could contact him at this address.
After confirming the details, the other party sent Hou Jie out of the foreign company with a look of joy on his face.
They expressed their warmest welcome and deep gratitude to big customers like Hou Jie.
Let’s not talk about it for now. Hou Jie was bored and messed around, and his eyes came to the police room.
The police station received a shocking intelligence early in the morning that a group of dead bodies were found in a remote house in the old city, and they were suspected to have been deliberately murdered by unidentified persons.
When the detectives from the police station arrived at the scene, they all gasped at the horrific scene they saw. The whole yard seemed to have become a palace of death, with devastation and a mess, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Who on earth did this? It's so cruel!"
The victims were lying in a mess in the middle of the yard, their faces and noses swollen, and their necks stabbed. The scene was shocking and chilling.
"Yeah! Judging from the scene, these people are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid we can't afford to offend them!"
After this major case that shocked the entire city occurred, the entire city was quickly ignited by a wave of public opinion, and various forces reacted differently.
They were clearly aware that if even such a major issue could not be effectively resolved, it could bring disaster to themselves.
In such an environment, the gang members who were once arrogant and domineering had to temporarily keep a low profile, fearing that they would become the next target.
However, although the police station claimed that the case was under close investigation, various rumors spread as time went by.
Some people speculated that "it was a fight between some underworld gangs. Only they would be so reckless."
Some people say that "Maybe he offended that powerful person and was silenced."
As the truth was never revealed, the corruption of the Nationalist government ultimately caused this shocking case to become an unsolved case.
However, Hou Jie and his team seemed to have done nothing wrong and their business was still booming and busy.
Time flies, and the years pass by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, and the time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new has arrived.
On this day, Hou Jie was in a good mood and in high spirits. He called Zhang Dalong to discuss important matters concerning the purchase of New Year's goods and employee welfare arrangements.
Hou Jie inquired with concern about the preparations for this year's New Year's goods, and how to make the employees fully feel the grain store's care and respect after their hard work and receive generous feedback both materially and spiritually.
Minister Zhang Dalong reported in detail on the progress of the purchase of New Year goods. Everything has been prepared and we are just waiting to choose a day to distribute them.
Hou Jie nodded, agreed to Zhang Dalong's proposal, and further explained in detail: "Dalong, you need to arrange the preparations for the employee dinner as soon as possible. Let everyone participate and have a good time."
After hearing this, Zhang Dalong showed an embarrassment on his face. He responded with some concern: "But Boss, our company has a large number of employees, several thousand people. It is a lot of work to hold a dinner party that everyone can be satisfied with. It is not easy to operate!"
Hou Jie smiled and patted Zhang Dalong on the shoulder, encouraging him: "Dalong, don't worry, I believe you can do it. I'll give you an idea, go find some well-known restaurants nearby, such as Fengzeyuan, Donglaishun, etc., and invite their chefs to come and help. Don't be stingy with the money, this time we want everyone to eat and drink well and have fun."
"Okay, Boss, but this is really too expensive. We really appreciate your generosity and care." Zhang Dalong said with some emotion. He knew that Hou Jie had always been very kind to them, but this move still made him feel particularly warm.
Hou Jie smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can still afford it. It's only a few days before the Chinese New Year. After dinner, I will distribute employee benefits, and everyone can stop working and go home for the Chinese New Year. Everyone will go back to work on the tenth day of the first lunar month next year." He looked at the people in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion. Everyone has worked hard throughout the year, and it's time to take a good rest.
Hou Jie further explained in detail the arrangements for the New Year and the working hours for the coming year. Zhang Dalong nodded and turned to instruct his men.
