The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 223

Yunfei Company operates normally, produces as usual, and sales are still booming, and it has not been affected at all.

The rectification order of the Municipal Footwear Association is ineffective, because it is not an administrative law enforcement department, and Yunfei Company is not a member of the Municipal Footwear Association, so the rectification order is just a piece of waste paper.

The only effect is humiliation.

However, most of the peers and the vast majority of customers do not believe that Yunfei's shoes have quality problems. This is like an old sow climbing a tree. I only heard about it, but I have never seen it.

It's not that no one in the Footwear Association speaks for Jin Yunfei, such as Yu Kefei.Yu Kefei is the vice president of the City Footwear Association, and he has a huge appeal. He gathered dozens of large-scale enterprises to jointly help Jin Yunfei to seek justice.

The members of the Footwear Association are not all shoemakers. There are also raw material suppliers, equipment suppliers, processing auxiliary enterprises and many distributors. They also speak for Jin Yunfei one after another.

The relevant departments are also embarrassed. If there is a problem with the quality of Yunfei's shoes, it means that the shoes in the entire industry have quality problems.Based on the reports of several colleagues, without any evidence, it is really unreasonable to fine people money.

The most embarrassing thing is that Jin Yunfei cooperates with everything, without a single complaint, pays the money without frowning, almost slaps him on the left cheek, and he obediently stretches out the right cheek for you to slap him again.

As a result, the relevant departments couldn't bear it, and stopped taking action against Yunfei Company, and even issued a blowout to those companies that caused troubles, and they stopped when they saw it.

It's a pity that Jin Yunfei is not a good boy, he talks nonsense when he sees people, and talks nonsense when he sees the devil.

Jin Yunfei's "articles" were made on cowhide.

To say that in the mid-90s, the most popular shoes in the mass market are none other than leather shoes.

Compared with other categories, cowhide shoes are economical and durable, and there are many varieties of designs and colors, which are deeply loved by consumers.

For shoemaking companies, the profit of making cowhide shoes is higher than that of other footwear, and everyone flocks to them.

Cowhide shoes are generally made by hand, but many companies that produce injection-molded shoes have also made changes and turned to the production of cowhide shoes.

Yu Kefei, Jin Yunfei's neighbor, used to only make injection-molded shoes, but now he has set up two workshops dedicated to the production of handmade leather shoes.

The other two neighbors, Li Tengyun and Tan Yandeng, originally produced handmade shoes, but now they are concentrating on producing handmade cowhide shoes.

If everyone rushes to it, sales are not a problem, it's just that everyone's profits are different.

The problem is that the supply of cowhide is not enough. There are only so many cows, but not so much cowhide. It is impossible to use finished cowhide directly to make cowhide shoes. You can only use the scraps left by those big factories, that is, shredded cowhide.

The supply of shredded cowhide is also in short supply. Back when Jin Yunfei first made cowhide shoes, the shredded cowhide cost only two or three yuan per catty, but now it has risen to seven or eight yuan per catty, and it is not always possible to buy it.

Those cowhide suppliers with great powers have already done business in Argentina and Brazil in South America, which are big cattle-raising countries. Now more than three-fifths of the cowhide and shredded cowhide on the market come from abroad.

This is not enough, technology is needed to support the production of leather shoes.

Equipment suppliers have developed cowhide slitting machines, which can cut cowhide into two or three layers, which greatly increases the supply of cowhide.

However, if one layer of cowhide is cut into three layers, the quality of the cowhide shoes will be greatly reduced, and the service life of the cowhide shoes is not as long as that of foam shoes.

Yunfei Company does not have this problem. With the help of friends in Fujian, Jin Yunfei has a fixed source of goods, and his cowhide raw materials have basically never been in short supply.

Different from other shoe companies, Jin Yunfei is also engaged in slitting cowhide. He has two imported slitting machines worth 66 yuan, which are specially used for slitting cowhide.But Jin Yunfei insisted on a low line, only splitting one layer into two, never cutting one layer of cowhide into three layers for use.

Even with the support of several suppliers in Fujian, Jin Yunfei still feels the shortage of cowhide raw materials. There is enough stock in the warehouse. goods.

The shoe market in Wenlin County is located in Hengfeng Town, but the leather raw material market is in Zegu Town, near the long-distance bus station in Zegu Town.

Jin Yunfei occasionally visits the cowhide raw material market. If there are good or cheap materials, he will pay for them on the spot.

This morning, Yu Kefei called and told Jin Yunfei that there was a new supplier in the cowhide raw material market. He had just arrived yesterday and shipped more than 50 tons of cowhide overnight.

It is said that hundreds of tons of cowhide will be shipped in today. Yu Kefei invited Jin Yunfei to have a look. If the quality meets the price, the two will join hands to eat.

Jin Yunfei agreed, but he took his time, took his time and did not drive his own car. Instead, he went to the leather raw material market in Kefei's car.

When we arrived at the cowhide raw material market, we saw dozens of people standing in front of a newly opened shop, all of whom were shoe business owners who were going to buy cowhide.

There are many leather samples in front of the store for customers to see and inspect the goods.

Jin Yunfei didn't want to join in the fun, so he asked Yu Kefei to get out of the car, but parked the car tens of meters away.

There is a saying in the shoemaking industry that other fabrics are considered to be long or short, only cowhide needs to be bought in tons.

Buying by ton means buying by weight. Later, it developed into a transaction volume of no less than one ton each time. Now, it has developed into selling all and buying all.

Sell ​​all and buy all means that the supplier makes a request that a certain batch of goods be sold at one time, and the customer must buy them all at one time. Customers who are not strong enough can team up with other customers. The number of customers is not limited, but only one person can bid.

Now a bidding system has been introduced, just like the auction of state-owned land, whoever bids the most will get all the raw materials.

There were more and more people in front of the store, and there was not much material in Yu Kefei's factory, so he couldn't help getting out of the car again, looking for someone to hug and stuff, and was going to buy dozens of tons to go back.

Jin Yunfei held Yu Kefei down again, and said with a smile, "Old Yu, you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal, why are you in a hurry."

Yu Kefei smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't hurt my back to stand and talk. I only have half a month's supply in my warehouse. It's not like you, who bought 500 million yuan in goods last week."

"If you don't use enough for a month, I can supply you without earning you a penny."

"That's what you said."

"It's serious business, I never joke."

Now Yu Kefei is relieved, Jin Yunfei produces more than [-] pairs of leather shoes per day, and his daily output of handmade leather shoes is only [-] to [-] pairs. Jin Yunfei's dripping water is enough for him.

When the two were patiently watching the excitement, the neighbor Tan Yandeng drove up.

Tan Yandeng and Yu Kefei had nothing to do with each other. He recognized Kefei's car and drove his own car over. Tan Yandeng was even more elated when he saw Jin Yunfei in Yu Kefei's car.

"Yunfei, Lao Yu, let me add a plug, you two will eat the big head, and I will eat the small head."

"No problem." Jin Yunfei said: "Xiao Tan, go and have a look. I heard that it is a new household. Ask what the road number is."

Tan Yandeng left in response.

Ten minutes later, Tan Yandeng came back, still holding a few pieces of cowhide in his hand, and got into Yu Kefei's car.
