The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 191 Sense of Achievement

Jin Yunfei's sense of accomplishment comes from two aspects, one is the overall growth of the three little guys, and the other is that he himself likes reading.

Staying at home and having time in the evening, Jin Yunfei read a lot of useful books very seriously, and he even put a lot of knowledge in the books to use.

With hard work, there may be gains.

At the end of this year, the country's first magazine on private entrepreneurs was born, and a letter of solicitation was issued to private entrepreneurs across the country.

Jin Yunfei was also on a whim. The company received a pile of printed materials every day, and he hardly read them.But one day he saw the letter of invitation to write, so he tried to write two articles, one was about the management experience of private enterprises, and the other was about shoe design in the shoe industry.

Just write it, throw it aside, Jin Yunfei forgot.

But his wife, Yue Xiuqing, had a heart. She conspired with her eldest sister, not only helping to revise the article, printing it out with the company's typewriter copier, but also quietly mailing it to Beijing.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

Half a month later, the magazine called a long-distance call, informing that both articles had been accepted and would be published in the second and third issues respectively, and asked the company to provide a brief introduction of the author and company.

It was Jin Yunfei himself who answered the phone, which was a surprise, he couldn't believe it, because he was afraid of being cheated.

He couldn't find the article, so he called his wife and elder sister to inquire. The two sisters-in-law explained the situation, and Jin Yunfei believed it, and sat on the boss's chair and laughed foolishly.

That night, Jin Yunfei took the initiative to ask for a drink, and accompanied his father-in-law to finish off two and a half bottles of liquor.

My father-in-law is an alcoholic, but he lives at his son-in-law's house and drinks relatively moderately. Tonight is a good opportunity. He drank a bottle and a half by himself and only let his son-in-law drink one bottle.

In fact, Jin Yunfei’s articles were published for a variety of reasons. The first generation of private entrepreneurs at that time were not many educated, and there were even fewer private entrepreneurs like Jin Yunfei who loved learning.

Also, thanks to Jin Yunfei's reputation, although Yunfei Company is not big and has a short history, it has already ranked among the top ten in the shoemaking industry.

Mike shoes, price wars, media shows, being on TV, cooperating with Peacock Company... Yunfei Company is no longer a pool thing.

The company's operation this year has also played new tricks. With the cooperation with Peacock Company, the production and sales have been improved to a higher level.

Jin Yunfei also does OEM production and sales, which he has never done before.He asked his second brother's shoe factory and Li Tengyun's Xingguang shoe factory to produce Mike shoes for him, and then sold them with the Yunfei brand trademark.

Different from other people's OEM production, Jin Yunfei sends his own quality manager to check and accept each pair, and then ships them to his own company, where he puts his own trademark on them and uses his own packaging.

The second brother's shoe factory, like Li Tengyun's, does not have its own registered trademark so far, and is willing to engage in OEM production, because it can earn half a yuan more per pair than their own production and sales, and they don't have to worry about sales.

This is a win-win cooperation. After the entire autumn shoe season, this form of cooperation alone allowed Jin Yunfei to earn more than 300 million yuan.

It's just that before the arrival of another Spring Festival, the well-known "Wufang Group Company" ran into trouble, which affected Jin Yunfei, an outsider.

This matter has to start from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

The booming business of Yunfei Company does not represent the prosperity of the entire shoe industry, on the contrary, just like this cold winter, in fact, the entire shoe industry has also entered winter.

Next door to Yu Kefei's Jiuding Company, the total number of employees this year is only around 300, only three-quarters of the previous season.

Another neighbor, Xiao Tan from Hongda Shoe Factory, has a total of only 150 employees, at most half of the same period last year. It can only be said that the operation is dismal.

Jin Yunfei judges his peers, without having to go to them for on-the-spot inspections, he can know whether their business is good or bad with only two data.

One is the number of employees.The police office in the industrial zone is located in the third factory area of ​​Yunfei Company. The police office knows the number of employees in each company. Jin Yunfei has a close relationship with them and can easily obtain relevant data.

The second is power consumption.Yunfei Company is a big consumer of electricity, and has a good relationship with the electricity management office. Jin Yunfei can also grasp the electricity consumption of his peers.

With two data in hand, it is clear at a glance whether the business is good or bad.

For example, there is another neighbor, Li Tengyun from Xingguang Shoe Factory. After helping Yunfei Company to do OEM production, the electricity consumption soared by 30.00%, and the total number of employees also returned to [-] in the same period last year. This shows that Li Tengyun’s Xingguang Shoe Factory has Return to its heyday.

For this autumn shoe season, Li Tengyun's shoe factory is really supported by Jin Yunfei's OEM production.

Li Tengyun is also grateful to Jin Yunfei, bought a lot of gifts, and brought them to thank Jin Yunfei.

According to local customs, gifts cannot be given on the first day of the lunar new year. Li Tengyun solemnly chose the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

The gifts were brought by Li Tengyun and his two employees. After putting them all on the large platform, he sent the two employees back.

High-end cigarettes, high-end wine, old wild ginseng, and imported toys... Jin Yunfei guessed in his heart that Li Tengyun was bleeding heavily this time.

It's not tens of thousands, but it's worth at least five or six thousand. It's said that courtesy is more important than affection, but don't forget that there is another saying that courtesy is more important than friendship.

"This is for your grandparents, this is for your parents, this is for your father-in-law, this is for your eldest sister, this is for your three little ones, this is..."

"Old Li, what are you doing? Are you showing off in front of me?"

"Thank you, this is thanks."

"Oh, I'd love to hear it, please go ahead."

"Really, Yunfei. Without you, I really wouldn't be able to survive the second half of this year, and I would have to make Xiaotan next door laugh out loud."

"Then I won't refuse anyone who comes, I'll accept them all... No, no, my whole family has them, but why don't I have them?"

Li Tengyun took out a UnionPay card and put it in front of Jin Yunfei.

"Yunfei, this is 30 yuan, it's not a respect."

Jin Yunfei snorted, "What do these mean?"

"More than 100 million pairs of shoes, one pair of two triangles, this is a rebate, not much, not much."

"Old Li, I can't accept this money."

"Yunfei, I'm here for the next cooperation. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to speak next time. If you accept it, it means giving me the next chance."

That's true, Jin Yunfei thought to himself, this is the rule, Li Tengyun took out the money, if he was asked to take it back, it would mean that it would not be an exception.

Li Tengyun is smart, the shoe industry is in a downturn, and Yunfei brand shoes are still strong, and he is also planning to open up overseas markets. Such thighs must be embraced.

Jin Yunfei was no longer polite, put the gift aside, put the UnionPay card in the drawer, and Li Tengyun was relieved.

At this time, Jin Yunfei's good friend Wang Jiudan arrived.

Li Tengyun took the opportunity to leave.

"Da Fei, Wufang Group is in trouble."
