The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 136 Three VIPs
Cao Dinggui did not come alone. Apart from his bodyguard driver, Wu Chengjie, a supplier of shoe materials, Qiao Hongsheng, a supplier of shoemaking equipment, and Jin Yunfei were all acquainted.

This time, Jin Yunfei had already received a call from Cao Dinggui on the road, so he didn't dare to neglect, and drove to the intersection of the national highway and the provincial highway early to meet the three distinguished guests who came from afar.

Jin Yunfei's car was in front, Cao Dinggui's car was behind, and they came to the former Zegu Town Guest House, now the Zegu Hotel.

Four rooms had been booked in advance, and after the four of them checked in, Jin Yunfei led them to the restaurant of the hotel and invited the four of them to have lunch.

Then, Cao Dinggui asked the driver to go back to his room to rest, and together with Wu Chengjie and Qiao Hongsheng, they took Jin Yunfei's car to Yunfei Company.

Inside and outside, back and forth, Jin Yunfei led the three distinguished guests to visit his company all over.

Interestingly, Qiao Hongsheng carried a camera with him and took dozens of photos as he walked.What's more interesting is that none of the equipment used by Yunfei Company comes from Qiao's Company.

It turned out that Jin Yunfei was introduced by Cao Dinggui. Although he knew Wu Chengjie and Qiao Hongsheng, he hadn't done any business yet.

Wu Chengjie's Jack shoe material supply company and Qiao Hongsheng's Qiao's shoe equipment company are both rising stars in the shoe industry.The two have many common characteristics. They have not been established for more than three years. They are both joint ventures with foreign capital background, and they both developed locally in the past.Wu Chengjie used to work in a public institution, Qiao Hongsheng used to be a teacher, and both of them wore myopia glasses.

In Cao Dinggui's words, both Wu Qiao and Wu Qiao were intellectuals, and their ancestors were considered wealthy local families.

Obviously, the two of Wu Qiao came here this time to open up the market in Tianzhou City.

If you want to open up the market here, the "biggest player" Yunfei Company is naturally the best "breakthrough".

When he came to the office and sat down, Jin Yunfei called the main family members and introduced them one by one.

Yue Xiuqing and Jin Xiaoling made four cups of good tea before leaving the office.

Jin Yunfei said: Old Wu, Old Qiao, let me interview you first. After the visit, what impression do you have?
As an acquaintance, you don't have to be polite, Wu Chengjie said: Needless to say, the student you call yourself Lao Cao must have the shadow of Lao Cao.Your factory layout is simply transplanted from Lao Cao.

Qiao Hongsheng said: And your family management structure is almost exactly the same as the old Cao's.

Jin Yunfei smiled and said: Not bad, I'm not good at other skills, but my learning ability is not bad. I just stare at Lao Cao and look up to Lao Cao.

Wu Qiao and Wu Qiao are both about forty years old, older than Jin Yunfei, and younger than Cao Dinggui, the two teased Cao Dinggui, the teacher almost surpassed the students.

Cao Dinggui waved his hands and said: You two are wrong, green is better than blue because of blue, and Xiao Jin has already been on an equal footing with me.At the peak of autumn shoes last year, the number of his employees reached more than 830 people, and I only had more than 850 people.Tell me, is there any difference?

Jin Yunfei couldn't help being proud, but he kept on being humble, trying to cover up his pride.

Cao Dinggui said again: "There are more."This guy can not only design his own shoe samples, but also promote them.The reason why last year's Mike shoes were so popular is that he captured the psychology of consumers, and he came up with this trick.

Jin Yunfei said: Three bosses, three elder brothers, I don't like to be praised, but like to be sprayed.Please say something bad about the three of you so that I can calm down.

Cao Dinggui smiled and said: Speaking of shortcomings, it's that you are so stubborn. You didn't participate in the shoe industry association, but you joined some private enterprise association, which made me very embarrassing.

Wu Chengjie smiled and said: Xiao Jin, I haven't seen any shortcomings in you yet.

Qiao Hongsheng smiled and said: If I have to say it, it is that there is not a piece of my equipment in your workshop.

They were very polite, and Jin Yunfei didn't force himself anymore, he asked: "Three brothers, you must have something important to come here this time, right?"Please speak up and I will do my best.

Cao Dinggui waved his hands and said: Let them talk first.

Wu Chengjie asked: "Yunfei, my company mainly produces and sells shoe fabrics. I want to enter your local market. What's your best idea?"Also, do you have any good suggestions for the development of shoe fabrics?

Well, how should I say it?Jin Yunfei said: Lao Wu, you are dealing in high-end products with good quality and high price.On our side, we mainly produce low-end shoes, and your advantage has turned into a disadvantage.In my opinion, it is difficult for your fabrics to enter our market on a large scale.So, I think there are two steps that can be taken.

Oh, which two measures?
One, if you want to enter the market here, you can only go from top to bottom, from high to low.The price is too high, those self-employed can't afford it, and those companies that focus on price can't afford your high-end fabrics.So, you might as well start with me, choose dozens of large-scale enterprises as your goals, and take a step by step.

Makes sense, what about another measure?

Boldly experiment and develop new fabrics.

Oh, Yunfei, tell me, what is a new type of fabric?

Jin Yunfei said: There are only two kinds of fabrics on the market now.One is fabric, and the other is chemical materials.My idea is, can there be a combination of the two to develop a new two-in-one fabric.

Cao Dinggui praised: Yunfei, what a great idea.

Wu Chengjie hurriedly asked: Yunfei, do you have any specific ideas?

Jin Yunfei smiled without saying a word.

Cao Dinggui smiled and said: "Old Wu, this kid has no benefits, so you have to give some benefits first."

Wu Chengjie said straightforwardly: Yunfei, Lao Cao and Lao Qiao can testify.If your suggestion is adopted and successful, you can use my new product casually, and the price will be reduced by [-]% on the basis of the ex-factory price, and this promise will be valid forever.

Old Wu, you are too polite.Jin Yunfeidao: The current use of fabrics makes it difficult to unify injection molded shoes and handmade shoes, and there are great restrictions.I think that a layer of plastic can be coated on the fabric, which can increase the toughness of the fabric without hindering the original beauty of the fabric.In other words, this new fabric can be used not only in handmade shoes, but also in plastic shoes...

After Wu Chengjie listened, he rested his chin and began to think.

Cao Dinggui said: Yunfei, can this be done?

Qiao Hongsheng said: From a technical point of view, the problem should not be serious.The key is how to ensure the original advantages of the cloth shoes after being coated with plastic.

Finally, Wu Chengjie nodded and said: Good suggestion, absolutely good suggestion.Yunfei, I started researching when I got back, and I think it should be possible before the autumn shoe season comes.

Jin Yunfei said: "Okay, when you come up with it, Lao Cao and I will use it first to help you practice your new product."

Cao Dinggui looked at Jin Yunfei and asked: Xiao Jin, how did you come up with this idea?I suspect you have a computer or something in your head.Wu Chengjie said: I also really want to know.

Hehe, it's not worth a penny to say it.
