With the end of summer vacation, the TV commercial had also completed a phase. The factory workers were no longer making summer clothes; instead, they had shifted to autumn and winter outerwear.
The wave of commercials had cost quite a bit of money, not only for airing them on television stations but also hiring Zhou Zhiming to shoot them, hiring models, and filming on location—all added up to nearly ten thousand dollars. However, the money was well spent.
In just three months, all the stockpiled goods in the factory were sold, and many orders were received. The workers took only one day off per month, even working overtime at night.
By the time school started on September 1, the factory had a holiday and even paid their salaries in advance. With the overtime pay included, wages reached one hundred dollars a month.
A hundred dollars a month!
Nowadays, the average wage was around sixty to seventy dollars, so earning a hundred dollars was considered very high.
