The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 177 Breaking the Principles
Sure enough, only a week later, the second sister and the eldest cousin received a notice from the school that they had been approved to study abroad, and asked them to return to school quickly and go abroad after completing the formalities.

On the day of sending off the second sister and eldest cousin, the whole family was of course sent to the entrance of the county coach station.

The mother and aunt were crying so much that no one could persuade them.

The sandal season is still going on, and the daily shipments are more than 900 pairs. The number of employees in the company has not decreased but increased, and it has reached nearly [-] people.

At the same time, the shoe design for the autumn shoe season is also in full swing.

Jin Yunfei is faced with a dilemma, whether to continue to make cowhide shoes, or to produce injection-molded shoes on the assembly line.

Unlike other shoe business owners, they need to go out and run around to make shoe samples. Jin Yunfei doesn't need to run, he can stay at home, and he can grasp the fashion trend of next season's shoe models.

There are many sources of information channels, and now the headache is selection, analysis, judgment and synthesis.

The first channel is Cao Dinggui.Friends are not made for nothing, Lao Cao has no reservations about Jin Yunfei, he copies all the relevant information and materials he has, and sends them to Jin Yunfei.

The National Footwear Association is the second channel. The annual membership fee of 5 yuan is not in vain. The shoemaking information sent by the association is at least half a basket, and the focus is on foreign countries.There are a lot of useful ones, but they are confusing to the eyes, especially those foreign characters such as English, Japanese and French, which make Jin Yunfei, Yue Xiuqing and the eldest sister dizzy.Thanks to the third sister, Jin Xiaohong, a future entrepreneur and sophomore, she is good at English, and through her teachers and classmates, she translated other foreign words into Chinese as quickly as possible.

The third channel is the most professional, the Institute of Shoemaking Technology.Jin Yunfei has established a long-term cooperative relationship with the research institute, and their service items include shoe samples. They have a dedicated person to collect shoe samples, which is timely and useful, and has the most reference value for Yunfei Company.There is a fixed fee of 20 yuan per year. Although the asking price is not small, Jin Yunfei thinks the 20 yuan is worth it.

The fourth channel is raw material suppliers and equipment suppliers. They have a wide range of channels and more information.Many shoe-making companies do not pay attention to their ability in shoe design, but Jin Yunfei is just the opposite.When Jin Yunfei deals with suppliers, he often asks them to help collect shoe samples. Many of them really help a lot.

Another channel is also very important, that is, our customers, that is, dealers all over the country.In fact, Jin Yunfei attaches the most importance to customers, especially more than three-quarters of old customers, and he clearly put forward three requirements for them.The first is to provide opinions on Yunfei brand shoes, the second is to solicit opinions on Yunfei brand shoes from consumers, and the third is to collect other peers' shoes in the market.

Old customers are old customers, they have vision and a sense of responsibility, and they have an unexpected effect on Jin Yunfei.For example, Hong Xingyun, whose business is from Xinjiang to the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, often sends popular shoes from various places.There is also Yu Beiyang, who sits in Yiwu Small Commodity Market, sees the whole country with his eyes and listens to overseas, and provides Jin Yunfei with a lot of information.

Different from the past, the shoe design room has also undergone major changes.

In the past, apart from Yue Xiuqing and Jin Xiaoling's sister-in-law, Jin Yunfei himself was responsible for designing the shoe samples.

Now two newcomers have been added, Xie Xiaoting and Li Shanshan.

Xie Xiaoting is 19 years old and graduated from a technical school this year, majoring in industrial design. She is the daughter of Jin Yunfei's third uncle.Li Shanshan, who graduated from high school this year, is the daughter of Aunt Yue Xiuqing.

Jin Yunfei hopes to train the two girls to be professional shoe design designers, so that his wife and eldest sister will not be too tired.

There is no way to use your own relatives. The shoe design needs to be kept secret, and using outsiders will not be able to keep it secret.

But strict requirements are necessary.On the first day the two girls went to work, Jin Yunfei called them to the office, and in front of Yue Xiuqing and Jin Xiaoling, he began to speak methodically.

Xiaoting, Shanshan, starting from today, you two are full-time employees of the company. There are a few requirements that I want to emphasize to you.

First, shoe pattern design is a technical job. You two are just temporary shoe pattern designers. If I find that you do not have the ability in this area, I will transfer your work.

Two, you two started at the same level, so the salary is the same, [-] per month, and the benefits and bonuses are issued according to the company's regulations.

Three, in the future, in public places, especially when you are at work, you will call me the chairman, and call her two Yue Zong and Jin Zong.

Fourth, shoe design needs to be kept secret, so you can't bring irrelevant people into the design room, remember to close the door when you leave, and don't disclose relevant information to anyone.All in all, this is an iron discipline that must be observed, and anyone who violates it will definitely be expelled.

Fifth, the company has perfect rules and regulations, you two must first learn and memorize them.In particular, the employee handbook must be memorized and implemented without compromise.

Xiao Xie and Xiao Li have been dutiful, they have been here for two days, and they are already familiar with Yue Xiuqing and Jin Xiaoling, but they are a little apprehensive towards Jin Yunfei.

This is just the beginning. It is not enough for newcomers to learn how to design shoes.

The eldest sister took the two little girls to the upper workshop first to learn the technique of stepping on the upper, and asked them to master the basic techniques in the shoemaking process within half a month.

Jin Yunfei was a little worried, he said to his wife Yue Xiuqing: Wife, I don't know if the two girls are talented in this area.

Yue Xiuqing said: "I haven't noticed it yet, so I can only try it."

Alas, if only there were schools dedicated to shoe pattern design.

Yue Xiuqing knew what Jin Yunfei was thinking, and smiled softly: I'm not happy about breaking the principle of not hiring relatives anymore.

Hehe, dare I be unhappy?Jin Yunfei said: Uncle San is just such a daughter, she finally went to a technical school and found a job at my door, I dare not refuse.I have to keep a bowl of water level. If I take in Uncle San’s daughter, I have to take in your aunt’s daughter.Otherwise, my backyard would not be very peaceful.

screw you.Yue Xiuqing smiled and said: Remember, it was you who asked Shanshan to come to work, not me.

understand.Jin Yunfei said: Let them do it first, if it doesn't work, let them go to the sales department and the finance department.

Yunfei, it might not work.Yue Xiuqing said: My sister and I have not received professional training, but the design of shoe samples is not bad.

Jin Yunfei said: People are different.The eldest sister is rich in experience and full of inspiration, you are good at thinking and unique in vision, and you each have your own strengths.And these two girls have never touched shoes at all, they are pure outsiders.

Yue Xiuqing said: I know what you mean, I will take them seriously.

Wife, with your words, I feel relieved.

Yue Xiuqing was about to go to the shoe sample design room, but the female receptionist reported that Jin Yunfei, the boss and his wife of Peacock Clothing and Hat Co., Ltd. were visiting.
