Business Building In America : From The Underworld To Hollywood
This story unfolds during the later stages of World War II, where a man, scarred by the horrors of war, finally grasps the profound and harsh realities of the world. In this world, those at the top laugh and celebrate, while those at the bottom sacrifice their lives in futile conflicts driven by pride and meaningless ambition. A modern soul transmigrates and fuses with the original soul of a body, creating a unique and extraordinary existence. To some, he is a villain; to others, a madman. In a world steeped in cruelty, this man, determined to secure a place among the decision-makers, struggles to break free from the ranks of those powerless to control their fate. To achieve his goal, he resolves to shatter the chains of law, then the chains of morality, and finally the chains of mediocrity.

"How are TV sales?" Hardy asked.
Michael's excitement dimmed a bit, "Not great. We're selling about ten units a day."
"Recently, I've focused mainly on sales. I asked customers, and many are interested in buying TVs, but the $127 price makes them hesitate. The war has just ended and people are short of money."
"Now we produce more and sell less, which puts a lot of pressure on the factory's funds. If this continues, there will be no funds to buy electronic raw materials in two months." Michael said with some embarrassment.
A TV cost $127.
Richard washed dishes in a restaurant, earning $120 a month.
Henry shoveled manure in a cattle barn, making $160 a month.
Matthew, who drove a big truck, made about $300 a month.
Life wasn't easy and Americans generally don't save money.
Spending a month's earnings on a TV was considered a luxury.
