I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 23 Even advertising dogs wouldn't click on this.

Well, Logan isn't really qualified to call himself a capitalist yet.

From design to factory, you can only say that you have a product.

In Mr. Ma's words, the transformation from product to commodity requires a "thrilling leap".

If this "leap" cannot be completed, it means that capital cannot complete the cycle of "capital-commodity-capital". To put it simply, capitalists cannot sell their products, cannot get their invested money back, and will lose money.

So the most important thing now is to get the bras on the shelves.

Then, Logan got punched!
His newly recruited sales team did not agree with his proposal—Logan believed that advertising was crucial to creating brand awareness, so he wanted to advertise in newspapers across the United States!

The sales team, however, thought it would be better to use the advertising budget to hire more salespeople and gradually market the new bra to stores in surrounding cities, starting with Chicago.

—In this era before the internet, television, and radio, most new products relied on salespeople traveling from place to place to persuade shop owners to put them on the shelves.

This also led to the emergence of many top salesmen in the United States.

The sales team thought that instead of advertising, they should use the money to hire a few top salespeople.

Logan was puzzled. "Wouldn't advertising across the entire US make it easier for you to sell your products?"

However, they said that might not be the case.

"Boss, there was an article in a recent issue of Vogue magazine that said, 'Since the Bourbon dynasty, fashionable women's skirts have always covered their ankles, but the future trend may be that skirts get shorter and shorter.' What do you think the majority of readers' reaction was?"

Before Logan could say anything, they gave their answer:
"The readers' reaction was—skirts are getting shorter and shorter? How can I even wear this out in public?"

This event is also documented in reality!
The sales team explained in detail—

Last year, some conservatives complained that young women's skirts were now up to 9 inches (about 23 centimeters) off the ground, which was beyond what was traditionally tolerated. Fortunately, winter was coming, and women quickly lowered their skirts back to their original height.

To their great surprise, when winter came, the hem of the skirt not only didn't come down, but instead rose several inches.

Some daring women even rolled up their stockings to their calves, exposing their knees and part of their calves, drawing frequent glances from passersby.

What were the consequences of this?

In Philadelphia, the government established a special committee for clothing innovation, and after a long period of investigation and research, they finally designed a "discipline robe".

It is said that this robe was wide and loose, with sleeves reaching the forearms and the robe itself less than 7.5 inches (19 centimeters) from the ground...

Logan listened to them in disbelief, feeling as if he had entered a chaotic era!
What, what, what is all this?!
Is America becoming Arabized?

Thank goodness I didn't travel to Philadelphia, otherwise I really wanted to die to see if I could travel back.

This is not over yet...

This year, Utah passed a law stipulating that women who wear skirts with a hemline more than three inches above their ankles in public will face fines and imprisonment.

“A law drafted in Ohio only allows collars to be 2 inches below the throat, while prohibiting the sale of ‘outerwear that excessively accentuates the female body shape’…”

"Although these are lingerie, they are undeniably too revealing of the female body."

"Not to mention your idea, boss, to advertise in the newspaper wearing only underwear. If you've already caused this much trouble with skirts that are a little shorter, we don't even want to imagine what it would be like if we actually advertised."

Logan pinched his nose, speechless with amazement.

This is truly eye-opening!

Chicago is indeed too modern; his nude woman appearances in the newspapers only sparked a protest march and a barrage of criticism from major newspapers.

In other cities, he'd probably be buried with weeds three feet tall by now. But the more that's the case, the more determined he becomes!
I'm going to run underwear ads all over the US and see what kind of fun that makes.

"But the newspaper probably won't agree to run such an advertisement!"

The sales team tried to dissuade their boss from his "wishful thinking" with a headache: wouldn't it be better to sneak into the village and shoot without actually shooting?
Logan smiled.

I may not understand this era, but I understand America.

What kind of society is America?

The sales team was baffled; some said it was a "free society," while others said it was a "civilized society."

Logan smiled knowingly and said, "America is a capitalist society!"

……

One day, in the conservative state of Virginia.

The editor-in-chief of the state's mainstream newspaper, The Planet, was visibly furious, his veins bulging, as he unleashed his signature roar that shook the entire office:
"What did you say?! Our newspaper wants to publish such an advertisement?!"

His stubby fingers jabbed at the advertising design brought by the head of the advertising department—a voluptuous woman naked except for a strange bra that outlined her alluring breasts.

The head of the advertising department shrugged. "The other party is offering a pretty high advertising fee. You might want to consider it..."

The editor-in-chief's voice made the glass vibrate, "Impossible!"

"This is an unclean stain, a corruption, a moral plague!"

"Only when women ensure their purity can our family and social lives be stable!"

Is this something a woman should wear?

Regarding lingerie, the editor-in-chief fully approves of his wife's attire—she tightly wraps her body in tube-shaped lingerie and a petticoat, with the lingerie decorated with thick ruffles and pleats.

This is also the standard style of dress for housewives.

"The sanctity of pure women has been so defiled. Where is the purity? Where is the morality? We are a respectable newspaper, gentlemen!"

The editor-in-chief's burning rage overwhelmed the head of the advertising department. "Don't even think about letting it pollute the Planet!"

"Even dogs wouldn't log in to this!"

However, the next day, the head of the advertising department brought that familiar advertising image into the editor-in-chief's office again.

The editor-in-chief slammed his fist on the table in anger, but before he could utter a word, the head of the advertising department silently pushed over a brand-new price list.

The editor-in-chief's gaze was fixed on the numbers above, as if he had been frozen in place. The thunderous rage that was about to burst forth from his throat was suddenly cut off by an invisible force.

this number……

How astonishing is this number?
To put it simply, the revenue from this one advertisement is almost equivalent to half a year's advertising revenue for the newspaper.

He couldn't even imagine how generous his bonus would be this year after securing this advertising deal!
Maybe we can replace that old car; maybe the whole family can go on vacation; maybe we can even get a bigger house while we're at it...

After a full ten minutes of silence, the editor-in-chief swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with difficulty, as if trying to swallow something huge and bitter.

When he raised his head again,
"Wang..."
