According to the current perspective, Hosea's vision is indeed a bit narrow.
However, Dutch did not feel that Hosea had no brains because he could only see the situation clearly from the perspective of the times. If his brain was really cleansed and thrown here, he would be just an ordinary person to be slaughtered.
After all, Dutch and his people have already set off the torrent of the times and have already gone beyond the scope of ordinary people's vision.
But who made him travel through time?
Dutch smiled and handed the female underwear illustration he had just drawn to Hosea.
Hosea took it with a solemn face, looked at it twice, and then sighed: "Oh, Dutch, I really don't know what's going on in your mind, how can you make this... this... But Dutch, do you think anyone will really buy this kind of thing?"
Hosea looked at the bra and underwear styles drawn on it and his face turned red. In fact, if you make some dirty jokes to him now, he will turn a blind eye. None of them are good people, so naturally they will not feel ashamed.
But discussing these things so seriously now makes him feel a little uncomfortable.
The United States is still very conservative at this time, and liberalism has just sprouted, so underwear may not be easy to promote. However, underwear is not only liked by women, but also by men. He only needs to design better-looking clothes first, and then design them more revealingly, and finally underwear can be launched naturally.
Boiling a frog in warm water is the most typical way to change people's minds.
The bra is said to have been invented by French designer Paul Poiret in 1907, but the bra he invented is not the three-point bra that Dutch has brought out now, but a unisex bra that looks like a men's vest. It was not until 1946 that Frenchman Louis Liard launched a three-point swimsuit, which was the prototype of the current bra.
Of course, Dutch didn't know whether there was underwear in this era. He just asked Miss O'Shea and knew that there was no such thing as a bra now.
"Hahaha, Hosea! If you were to go back to when you were 30, would you buy this kind of clothing for Bessie?"
Hosea's old face turned red, and he hesitated a little: "Hahaha, Dutch, you know, man, there are some things you don't have to ask me."
Dutch looked at Hosea's expression and smiled even more, but followed by strong confidence and the charm of a leader.
"Hosea, now do you think that the styles of these clothes I designed can be a hit?"
Dutch's leadership charm completely conquered Hosea's heart. In fact, Dutch was originally more charming. Even if his words were false and empty, he still fascinated the entire gang.
And now, his words have been put into practice, and Hosea has seen a truly bright future, so the charm is even more sufficient.
"Dutch, I can't believe that I actually saw the bright future of the gang in my lifetime. I'm so happy! You know, Arthur, John, Jack, and David, Lenny, Sean... In my heart, they have always been like my children. I'm really afraid that they won't have a good ending. Oh, Dutch, I'm so happy!" Hosea was really happy now. At the beginning of Wilderness 2, Hosea and Dutch had a lot of conflicts. The robbery of Blackwater Town was one, and the robbery of Cornwall was another, but now Dutch's transformation has made these conflicts disappear. However, Hosea thought about it, frowned and looked at Dutch, and asked: "Dutch, I think these styles of clothes will definitely become popular, but once we sell these styles of clothes, many copies will be produced quickly, and our business will be affected, right?" Dutch held the cigar in his hand and shook his head confidently, "Hosea, it is impossible to stop imitation, and we don't need to focus on these so-called imitations. In fact, we can completely sell these hundreds of clothes I drew one by one. In this way, we can build our brand and let everyone know that our clothing store will continue to innovate and launch a variety of excellent styles of clothing. At the same time, we can also create a brand effect, so that everyone feels that wearing our genuine clothing is fashionable and trendy! In this way, even if rich people see clothes that are much cheaper than ours, they will still wear our clothes, because wearing our clothes can be called upper-class people and noble gentlemen. "
Speaking, Dutch stretched out a finger to take a sample, with a smile on his face.
"Besides, we can link our clothing brand with some things, such as women.
I heard that in this civilized Eastern society, something called women's rights has emerged. However, these poor women are still being suppressed and excluded. They don't have decent jobs, nor the ability to support their families. This forces some of them to do the lowest jobs, or even sell their bodies. (The main reason for the increase in women's rights is that the improvement in productivity has led to a gradual increase in labor demand, which has enabled women to gradually have the right to work and their proportion in society has increased, which has gradually improved women's rights. As for why countries are pushing women forward, it is because it is related to voting)
Hosea, in this so-called civilized East, there is still such discrimination. Isn't it sad? Women are also people, why can't women have their own status?
So, I plan to link our clothing business with women, or in other words, with women's rights!"
Hosea frowned. He didn't understand. He didn't understand how this so-called women's rights would help the gang's clothing industry.
He shook his head and said, "Dutch, oh Dutch. I have seen women's rights actions in Blackwater Town, but I don't think these so-called women will be of any help to our clothing store. Do you still want to rely on this so-called women's rights to help us open up sales? I have heard of women's rights, but I remember that all their current ideas are about fighting for the right to vote, right?"
Dutch smiled, he looked at Hosea, and the smile on his face could not be stopped at all.
"Oh, Hosea, your brain needs to be more flexible. You will never understand even if I explain it to you bit by bit. Let's do this. After the Horseshoe Lookout, I will take you and Arthur there. We will go there and see, and you will know."
Hosea's face was full of distress, but he could only express his agreement.
He didn't know what was going on with his old friend now, but it was obvious that the things he was playing now seemed to be particularly high-end, at least it jumped out of their previous life experience.
Could it be that after surviving this near-death experience, his mind was opened?
Seeing Hosea thinking hard, Dutch comforted him.
It was normal for him to be confused. It was only 1899, and the First World War had not yet begun. The establishment of women's suffrage in the United States was two years after the end of the First World War, that is, in 1920. As for the real improvement of women's status, it was even later, basically after the Second World War.
But in the final analysis, the improvement of women's status is because they have gradually begun to play the role of producers in society. If women can be given jobs on a large scale and have the same income as men, their consumption level and production capacity will gradually increase, which will of course accelerate this progress! So why can't he Dutch start this and muddy the water?
Just let women unite, give them tangible benefits, let them work to support their families, instead of prostitution in bars or bathing in hotels, but give them truly decent jobs, then their status will naturally arise.
And the congressmen, presumably, will not be able to give up the votes that occupy half of the population.
Therefore, this entanglement of interests will arise.
And he, Dutch, will become the real king of Guarma Island! The king of the United States! The world's number one arms dealer in this entanglement of interests!
Dutch's face was particularly satisfied.
In the story, Arthur was the friend of the widow, but now that he has traveled through time, he, Dutch, must replace him and become the real female boss!
