The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 154 The Cowhide Shoes Project

Yu Kefei and Li Tengyun were just joking. We are both colleagues and neighbors. We can see whether the business is good or bad, and we can estimate how much money they make.

Jin Yunfei's two autumn shoe seasons were both great successes. The two autumn shoe seasons lasted for 800 days. The company employs 25 people and produces more than [-] pairs of shoes per person per day. It is easy to calculate how many pairs of shoes he has produced.

The price of Jin Yunfei's shoes is high, but the cost is low. The average profit per pair is as high as more than three yuan. Accumulated over the two shoe seasons, his profit is at least four digits in front of the ten thousand word, and the first digit is at least three.

Yu Kefei and Li Tengyun also concluded that this is Jin Yunfei's net profit. Although the equipment needs to be updated in the past two years and requires a lot of investment, his income from one sandal season is enough to meet his investment for several years.

The drunkard's intention was not to drink, Yu Kefei and Li Tengyun guessed and guessed, it was all foreplay, and the purpose was to find out what Jin Yunfei was going to do after returning with a full load this time.

Yu Kefei said: "Yunfei, Lao Li and I can't threaten you even if we work together, just tell the truth."

Hehe... I have nothing to say except something to say.

Li Tengyun said: "Fuck you, you still treat us like outsiders."

Old Li, don't talk about it.Jin Yunfei said: Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he knows people's hearts over time.It is difficult to draw a dragon or a tiger if you know the face but do not know the heart.Hehe, I'm not afraid that you two will show up, but I'm afraid that you two will get in the way.

As he said that, Jin Yunfei took a look at Li Tengyun.

Yu Kefei's heart moved, there was something in Jin Yunfei's words, could it be that Li Tengyun had done something against Jin Yunfei?
However, Li Tengyun felt guilty. When several colleagues reported Yunfei Company, he participated in it. Although he was drunk at the time, he was in the dark after all.

Jin Yunfei obviously knew what he said.

For Li and Li, if they want to choose someone who dares to make trouble, Li Tengyun is none other than Li Tengyun.

Li Tengyun hurriedly said: Yunfei, you are a big ship, an aircraft carrier, a little wind and waves will not affect you.

Yu Kefei also said: Yes, no matter what, we are also neighbors, we are in the same boat, and we will not do things like stumbling.

Jin Yunfei stopped short and laughed: Hehe...Of course, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I don't trust others, but I have to trust neighbors too.

Li Tengyun said: "In that case, then tell us."

Jin Yunfei said: I bought ten carts of cowhide and one cart of special glue for leather shoes.

Yu Kefei and Li Tengyun didn't believe it at all, especially Yu Kefei, who tried to develop leather shoes with cowhide uppers, but failed, and lost tens of thousands of yuan.

Li Tengyun didn't believe it, but there was another reason: Yunfei, cowhide is all in bundles, so there's no need to pack them in sacks.

Ladies and gentlemen, I bought shredded cowhide by the pound.

Yu Kefei snorted and asked, "How much is a catty?"How much did you buy?
Three yuan per catty, 150 tons for ten cars, plus freight, 95 yuan.

Yu Kefei and Li Tengyun looked at each other, Jin Yunfei was really rich.

Li Tengyun said: "Craftskin shoes are not easy to make."

Jin Yunfei said: Old Yu has experience in making leather shoes.

What experience, lessons are almost the same.Yu Kefei smiled bitterly and said: I, it was after I failed to make leather shoes that I started to make injection shoes.Yunfei, did you also see it at that time?

Jin Yunfeidao: In the past, it was mainly due to poor technology, but now there is no technical problem, and the materials, especially the glue, have also met the requirements.So, I want to give it a try and try it out.

Yu Kefei said: Yunfei, you snatched him to the front again.

Jin Yunfei smiled, looking confident.

Li Tengyun said: "Yunfei, I didn't say anything. I will follow you. If you want to make leather shoes, I will also make leather shoes."

Hehe, why should I help you?Jin Yunfei laughed.

Li Tengyun also smiled and said: If you don't help me, I'll just hang around with you every day until you agree.

Jin Yunfei laughed and scolded: Damn it, you really depend on me.

Yu Kefei laughed loudly: I don't need to rely on Yunfei for the time being as I make injection shoes.

Making leather shoes is easier said than done.

In the first half of this year, Jin Yunfei spent almost all of his energy on researching and making leather shoes.

Of course, cowhide shoes can be made, and the reality is not complicated. They were state-owned enterprises in the past, and now there are also small-scale production by private enterprises.

But the cowhide shoes they produce have several characteristics. First, the speed is slow and it is not easy to mass-produce. Second, the quality of cowhide is high. Third, the sole is a rubber sole, not a plastic sole. Finally, it needs to be launched manually. Fifth, the price is too high for the general public to afford.

The cowhide shoes that Jin Yunfei wants to make are exactly the opposite of the above four requirements.

But it is really easy to think but hard to do. Jin Yunfei did not expect that there would be so many difficulties in switching to leather shoes, even including changing the original layout of each workshop.

Boss Cao Dinggui from Fujian didn't dare to make leather shoes lightly, and he once advised Jin Yunfei to think twice.

However, Jin Yunfei believes that if he does not innovate and develop, shoe companies like him will collapse.

Generally speaking, Jin Yunfei's exploration went smoothly.

The first is technology. There is a shoe-making research institute in Fujian, which has a complete set of leather shoe production technology.

Jin Yunfei was bold. After investigation, he bought a complete set of technology at a price of 50 yuan, and signed a cooperation agreement with the other party. The other party will send people to guide when necessary.

This is the first time that a domestic shoe company has formally purchased shoemaking technology. Even Cao Dinggui, the introducer, praised Jin Yunfei's courage.

The second is raw materials, mainly new glue and cowhide.

The new type of glue is produced by a company in Taiwan Province. The company has established a branch in Fujian, and Jin Yunfei signed a contract with it to ensure that there will be no shortage of goods.

What is relatively difficult is cowhide. The cost of using authentic cowhide is too high, and the supply of cowhide cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Only shredded cowhide, that is, leftovers, can be used.

Fortunately, the supplier is an old relationship of Jin Yunfei, which has both domestic channels and guaranteed supply through imports.

Then there is the transformation of the sole. To make cowhide shoes, the original sole material formula needs to be adjusted, and the technical manual, the sole material formula data, needs to be practically tested.

With the cooperation of Master Gao and Master Chen, Jin Yunfei stayed in the shoe sole workshop for more than ten consecutive days and did dozens of experiments before he determined a relatively correct formula for shoe sole materials.

There is also equipment, which is the bulk of the cost.

A leather washing machine costs 11 yuan.A baking machine costs 12 yuan.Two leather cutting machines cost 23 yuan.Two painting machines, 13 yuan.Twelve industrial sewing machines cost 24 yuan.Other equipment, 33 yuan.

With so much equipment, employees need to be trained, and more than [-] yuan has been spent on this aspect.

After unremitting efforts, when the sandal season entered the final stage, Jin Yunfei had already made preparations for the production of cowhide shoes.
