Is it okay to not do anything after rebirth?

And many people in the workshop are also in piles.

If you look carefully, there is almost a foreigner in every group of people.

The person in charge of the workshop told Na Zhiming and Fred that these foreigners were after-sales engineers sent by a British company that sold production lines to teach them how to operate the equipment step by step on site.

Fred stepped forward and followed and listened for a while.

Na Zhiming did not follow him. He listened to the workshop leader reporting to him the progress of the work here.

In the early days of the establishment of the shoe factory, Na Zhiming asked people to communicate with several stores specializing in selling shoes in Xiangjiang. He was willing to pay some fees and apply for the entry of his own leather shoe brand.

Unexpectedly, the handmade leather shoes sold well. In just two months, the monthly sales revenue reached [-] yuan.

High-end leather shoes worth about [-] yuan can actually sell about a thousand pairs per month.

This made Na Zhiming pay more attention to the shoe factory, and invested in the shoe factory that was originally planned to be developed later.

These two production lines were ordered around October last year. They were completed and shipped to China in early April, and installation and debugging started last week.

But now there is a problem. In the eyes of most old masters, using equipment to make leather shoes is forgetting the ancestors. How can the handmade shoemaking technology left by the ancestors be changed casually.

But those little interns are different. In their minds, these new equipment are very easy to operate, and this is a change from the past where everything was done by one person to everyone working together.

I am responsible for rolling the base of the piece of leather you use to make the toe, and he is responsible for sewing it with thread.

A pair of shoes that used to take a long time to make can now be produced on the production line very quickly with dozens or hundreds of pairs of shoes.

This is the benefit of assembly line operations, which is highly efficient.

Na Zhiming knew the reason why the old masters resisted this production line. They felt that this change violated the ecological chain that they had started as apprentices since childhood.

Which one of them has not worked hard to learn from the master since they were young, collecting leather, cooking leather, cutting, sewing, and so on.

In their minds, this craft only lasts three to five years. Don't even think about taking on jobs outside. If the shoes you make for others are uncomfortable at all, it will be in the master's face and ruin the master's job.

In addition, their advantages are completely weakened in this production line. They no longer need to adjust the use according to the size and shape of each piece of leather, and perform detailed processing according to the actual situation of a person's feet.

Everything is done in accordance with the standardized process and assembly line. In the end, a lot of shoes are produced. People who buy them have to try them on one by one. They don't know how many pairs they need to try on before they can find the one they can wear.

Note, these are wearable shoes, not comfortable shoes.

This makes a big difference.

If the gloves a person chooses are slightly different in size, or the size of the clothes is slightly inappropriate, it will only affect the appearance.

At best, it looks a bit awkward and feels uncomfortable.

But if the shoes on a person's feet don't fit properly, it can be extremely difficult to adapt.

If you are a little thinner, your feet will be blistered in the first few days of wearing them. It will take ten days and a half to stretch the shoes until they are wearable, but they are also uncomfortable.

It's a little fatter, and if you don't use insoles, your feet will dangle here when you walk.

If you wear insoles, those who use the soles of their feet to exert force will have the insoles dug out by their feet after walking for a long time;

And if it is a person who exerts force on the back of his feet, his feet will slowly push the insole forward over time.

Na Zhiming knows that there is no need to make any changes in this regard. Try to use as many new people as possible on the production line. The future direction of the old masters will be to specialize in hand customization.

After Fred himself walked around the workshop, he returned to Na Zhiming.

He said in an admiring tone:

"Victor, I'm really surprised by your investment vision.

You can invest huge sums of money to establish these two factories without the support of a large number of orders. It is really courageous.

I came here this time with only a clothing OEM agreement.

After I go back, I can recommend it to the board of directors, but a special inspection team will be needed to inspect it, because the OEM production of shoes has stricter standards.

Of course, if Holmes is willing to endorse you, this matter will be more likely to succeed. "

Na Zhiming responded with a smile:

"Mr. Fred, thank you very much for helping our business like this. Having your friendship is the happiest thing for me.

If your group needs it, just send an inspection team to visit us, and we will definitely impress them with our perfect production technology and efficiency.

I think this shouldn't be difficult.

As for asking Mr. Holmes to endorse it for us, that's unnecessary.

It is your job responsibility to recommend us to the board of directors. For you, this is completely within your scope.

Recommending us to your board of directors, a company that has just built two production lines, would be a huge risk for Mr. Holmes.

If our performance here fails, it will cause great harm to his reputation. "

Fred nodded and stopped talking, but in his heart, his evaluation of Na Zhiming was a bit higher.

He and Holmes had been very good friends for many years, and it would be no exaggeration to say that they talked about everything.

After he and Holmes met in Scotland, the one he heard most from Holmes was this kid from China.

From communicating with people to treating people, investing in business to dividing labor and delegating power in a partnership, his interest and focus on art, from his outlook on life, worldview, values, to methodology, this child just shocked Holmes.

Holmes told Fred seriously that he had been immersed in the arts, music, and art since he was a child. Every teacher who taught Holmes praised him as a genius because Holmes broke It has a record of many people learning and becoming talents.

Moreover, if Holmes’s training and learning expenses were calculated since he was a child, he doesn’t know how much it would cost.

In this way, Holmes believed that he had only become a qualified art connoisseur in recent years.

You know, he has been dedicated to this industry for more than [-] years before he gained such confidence!

However, during the period of communication with Na Zhiming, he discovered that in terms of art appreciation, he was actually inferior to Na Zhiming in some aspects.

This made him feel a little frustrated, but more importantly, he appreciated and sympathized with each other.

Of course Fred knew how proud he was, the fifth generation of the Rockefeller family.
