Three Toyotas were driven away by Xu Zhiqiang, and the county went to the city, and a few cars were needed.

However, Xu Zhiqiang still has to pull the leaders of the city to help them go to the province to run the procedures.

In order to facilitate Liu Chunlai, the county government specially borrowed a 212 jeep.

The comfort of the Jeep is really not as good as that of the Toyota.

In order not to annoy Zhao Yujun, Liu Chunlai directly asked the driver of the county government's car class to accompany him, and asked Zhao Yujun to go to the Happy Commune to pick up Sun Xiaoyu and others.

I ran to the Jiangnan Leather Factory again.

Check out their new shoes and leather bags.

"What are these shoes? What do you think of wearing them yourself?" Liu Chun looked at the newly taken samples from the factory, his face was full of displeasure, "Especially women's leather shoes! What are you doing with such a thick heel? Why are you doing so short?"

The so-called design is almost non-existent.

The samples produced are exactly the same as those of the county department stores.

Tan Jie was in charge of technology, and in order to complete Liu Chunlai's task, he went directly to the county department store to borrow all the different styles of leather shoes, and then imitated them.

"These are all ...... that sell well in other places," Tan Jie was a little aggrieved, "Those that don't sell well, we haven't produced samples." ”

"What is the use of what we are producing when others are producing? We rely on the county department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives to sell them, how much can we sell, and how many people can we feed this factory?"

Liu Chunlai really couldn't bear it.

Imitation.

He understands.

After all, for the technicians of these factories, there is no need to design a new model, just to follow the original production.

Before the reform and opening up, all the country's production was planned in advance.

Even the styles and colors of clothes that everyone has worn for decades are all those types.

Shoe style?

Again, there is no need to have a new model.

Now it's different.

Department stores are still a seller's market, but with more and more new products in the market, these products simply don't sell.

The same is true for supply and marketing cooperatives.

At present, it is the last glory of department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.

In the city, it is still available by ticket.

But with the abundant supply and the rise of self-employed people, department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are no longer so popular.

Department stores supply the city.

Supply and marketing cooperatives mainly go to the rural market.

But whether it is urban or rural, there are already many self-employed people.

Just like Liu Chunlai's cooperation with Wangshan Commune, Wangshan Commune is a grain-producing area, and the price is much lower than the market price.

Originally, it was not that there was no other need, but that the people who had the need had no money.

With the rise of a large number of self-employed people, the old way is no longer working.

Unless there is no sale outside, otherwise, who is willing to take the money to buy something, and it has to look at the cold face of the department store and the salesperson?

"Manager Liu, why don't you give me some advice?"

Seeing that Liu Chunlai was angry, Yao Guangrong on the side accompanied him with a smiling face.

"Yes, we really have no experience, the previous production has not changed for many years, the design, everyone has no experience, the factory is now temporary, and the design department has just been established...... deputy director Luo Hao also smiled.

Anyway, in their opinion, since Liu Chunlai is not satisfied, let Liu Chunlai say, and there will be no problem with them following the implementation.

The experience of being a leader is to convey the requirements of the superior to the subordinates, and then supervise the subordinates to implement them.

This is at least Wu Hao and Yao Guangrong's experience.

Use your brain?

Give full play to your own initiative?

That's impossible.

At least, it is impossible until the temperament of Liu Chunlai, the new leader, is clear.

"There is no other design? After so many years, no one wants to change the style?" Liu Chunlai has a complicated mind, and these people are too lazy to use their brains?

"Captain Liu, you can design clothes, and shoes should be fine, right?"

Tan Jie's words let Liu Chunlai know the root cause.

These guys are lazy, just because he has designed a few outfits.

"Clothes are completely different from shoes! I don't believe it, there are so many technicians in the factory, young people, they don't have some idea of the style of shoes. "Liu Chunlai can't let them get their way.

Otherwise, in the future, he will really be like Zhao Yujun said, like Zhuge Liang, he will bow down to everything, and finally die.

The dog said that he didn't study seriously one day, and it was written in the book that Zhuge Liang did his best and died.

Zhao Yujun read it, bowed to the end, died, and then it was.

That is to say, Zhuge Liang did everything himself, and finally died of exhaustion, and the Shu Kingdom was destroyed because he did not cultivate his descendants, and finally had no strong successor.

Liu Chunlai listened to this and found that it was very in line with management.

I'm even thinking about taking the exam to get this too.

Several leading cadres of the tannery saw him with a serious expression, and they also knew that if they wanted Liu Chunlai to give the drawings directly, it would not be so easy for them to follow the production.

"Actually, there are a few, but those shoes are too ......" Tan Jie looked at Liu Chunlai, not knowing what to say.

"What's too much?" asked Liu Chunlai.

When he saw those shoes, he realized what it was.

What an exaggeration!

It's too out of step with this era!

It's too unconventional!

Thick-soled round-toe men's shoes, exaggerated pointed-toe men's shoes, and some slender high-heeled women's sandals, except that the sandals open only in the middle of the toe heel......

"Captain Liu, they're also having fun......

Seeing Liu Chunlai's eyes constantly looking back and forth between several young people and a few pairs of samples, his face changed, Tan Jie was afraid that Liu Chunlai would directly fire these people.

In the past, when I was in Longshan County, the shoes we wore were basically made of some unused scraps, and the factory would also distribute shoes.

Nothing.

Peng County is not Longshan County.

These young people don't understand, and they just mess around when they have nothing to do.

What should I do if I lose my job?

"Tell me, how can you get these shoes?" Liu Chun looked at the four young men and one woman with their heads bowed in front of him.

The eldest is about the same age as himself.

Four shoes, one for each person.

"Manager Liu, we were wrong, we will never waste the raw materials in the factory in the future......" Yang Pengfei, the eldest, saw Tan Jie's constant eyes, although he felt uncomfortable, but he was under the eaves, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake directly.

Most of them came from the countryside and studied with the master for many years, but if they had no jobs here, they would not even have land when they returned, so they would have to starve with a non-agricultural hukou on their backs.

Longshan County has no money in the treasury.

"Manager Liu, we use these scraps, and there is no rule in the factory that they cannot be used! Although these shoes cannot be sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, there are many young people who like to ......" Tian Yi, the only girl among the four, looked at Liu Chunlai and defended.

Liu Chunlai knew that they had misunderstood him, and a smile appeared on his face and looked at this brave girl, estimating that it was only twenty-one or two, right?

"How do you know they're going to like it?"

"I'm a girl, and my friends around me are also girls, and sometimes when I put up the dragon gate array, I will talk about these things...... Wearing non-breathable leather shoes on hot days will cause your feet to sweat and easily stink your feet...... If you think we're wasting materials, you can deduct the money from my salary......" Tian Yi plucked up his courage, gritted his teeth, and stared at Liu Chunlai.

His face was swollen and red.

She didn't want to lose her job.

"What about you?" Liu Chun looked at Chen Donghai, who was holding a pair of thick round scalp shoes in front of him, who was relatively short, should be less than 1.7 meters.

"Captain, this is because our supervision is not in place, and the rules and regulations in the factory are not in place......" Yao Guangrong didn't want to speak, but he had to speak.

This situation is common in factories.

It is also the norm for factories to use materials to process some needed materials for themselves or even at home.

At present, there are indeed a lot of people who have been dug up from the surrounding counties.

Until now, the Jiangnan tannery has hardly produced it.

Most of them are arranged to go to Jiangnan Garment Factory and Linjiang Textile Factory.

Let them be idle?

That's impossible.

At present, the tannery is either a technical backbone or a key training manager.

"Who said I'm going to deal with them? They need a reward. In this way, a few people entered the design department first. Liu Chunlai didn't bother to talk nonsense, "Tian Yi, your design is indeed more daring, but since it is a sandal, it needs to be bolder! Especially the heel, do you dare to make this heel taller? thinner?"

Tian Yi looked at Liu Chunlai in surprise.

Because of surprise, his mouth opened slightly.

"And you, because you're short and have thick soles, right?" asked Chen Donghai.

The latter blushed and nodded sheepishly.

"It's nothing. This kind of shoes actually matches our clothing styles very well, but this kind of shoes is only suitable for young people, and the design should take into account the personality characteristics of young people, and the needs are ......"

In fact, thick root leather shoes are already available on the market.

The pair in front of me is similar to the one on the market.

Liu Chunlai didn't know if the young designer in front of him had seen others wearing shoes like this, or if he thought about it himself.

"Around the sole, you can add some edges to make it look more ......"

Liu Chunlai kept giving advice to several people.

This is something that no one expected before.

"What do you mean, our shoes can be worn by more people?" Tian Yi didn't react for a while.

"I can only say that if there is a chance, whether someone will really like it, then we have to produce a batch of samples first, and then put them on the market to see how the market reacts. Liu Chun said, "Now, let's go and modify it according to what I said." ”

People in this era are not stupid.

It's not that they don't have the ability to design, it's that they see too little.

No one is going to design according to the needs of the customer, but the customer is constantly adapting their needs according to the products available on the market.

Only when there are more products on the market, customers will even buy according to the product, regardless of demand.

Somewhere along the coast, the shoe development industry is just beginning.

With the reform and opening up, small workshops began to rise and the output was higher.

But there is a problem, the quality of the production of these small workshops is very poor, and for a long time, the statement is bad.

"Can these shoes really be sold?" asked Liu Chunlai.

Only now did he react.

"In the past, can it be sold? If it can't be sold, then design a more novel style. By the way, isn't there a rubber section for the production of shoe soles in Longshan County?" asked Yao Guangrong.

"Yes, I didn't. There are also ...... on the mountain side of the castle."

"In the early stage, let Longshan County produce sole ......"

They understood what Liu Chunlai meant.

Tan Jie and Luo Hao immediately became happy, "Any sole over there can be produced, and through the waterway of the Jialing River, there is also a stable supply of raw materials." ”

Longshan County is in the upper reaches of the Jialing River.

It's right next door to Peng County.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big quilt factory over there.

Similarly, because of the inconvenience of transportation, the tannery is not large.

Although the domestic footwear industry is underdeveloped, industrial production has been carried out for more than 20 years.

In particular, the factory with military leather shoe production technology and experience, the technology and personnel are comprehensive.

At the very least, there is no need for them to travel all over the country to measure the feet of people in different positions and establish standard foot shape data.

Various technologies have also matured.

"Mr. Tan, you are in charge of the technical department, design this piece, this will be the top priority. Young people have a lot of ideas, don't be afraid to design bold styles. Give them plenty of opportunities, including the design of their purse. When the time comes, I will find a way to arrange for them to visit Xiangjiang to see other people's shoe styles in the international market, and now I will take advantage of this opportunity to select and train personnel, and in the future, they will be the backbone of the whole factory......"

Liu Chunlai warned Tan Jie with a serious face.

Tan Jie and the others were a little embarrassed.

As a manager, it's very dangerous if you don't see a market opportunity.

"Shoes are also ready to be exported?" Luo Hao watched Liu Chunlai drive away, and muttered to the two people next to him.

Tan Jie sighed.

They really couldn't keep up with Liu Chunlai's pace.

Yao Guangrong was excited, "I didn't expect that we would also have the opportunity to earn foreign exchange!"

None of them said that they might also have the opportunity to go abroad to see the rotten life of the capitalist world.

For the current mainlanders, foreign countries are really not very attractive.

"In the future, you can design as you want!" However, you must draw the drawings first, and then selectively produce samples...... Tan Jie turned back to the work area where the design department was located.

Most of the members of the newly formed design department are young.

But he didn't come up with one that satisfied Liu Chunlai before.

On the contrary, it was the foolishness of several young people in the workshop that made Liu Chunlai satisfied.

If you don't change your mind, you will definitely be driven back by Liu Chunlai.

"Really?" Tian Yi asked, "Where's the bag?"

"The same!" Tan Jie replied directly, "Everyone is working overtime tonight to make samples of your shoes first." Our factory hasn't produced ...... for so long."

Tan Jie: They are also under a lot of pressure.

Although there are not many people, they can't even earn their wages back.

When the time comes, Peng County will return them to Longshan County, and they will have to return to their original situation.

Liu Chunlai went straight back to the garment factory from the tannery.

At this time, Sun Xiaoyu and others also arrived, and they were selecting the fabrics mobilized from the supply and marketing cooperatives according to the design.

"Are you sure you really want to do this?" Huang Li asked Liu Chunlai, "Several previous designs are all because the labor cloth is relatively hard, so they look good." ”
