Chapter 9: Casual Leather Shoes

"Why didn't you listen when I told you to go back?"

Hearing that Fan Yang was going to ask the old leatherman to make leather shoes, Fan Weihu asked with a face.

looked Fan Yang up and down again: "Come, tell me honestly, what do you want to do?"

"What's my idea? It's hard to set up a shop, and you're happy to be defeated?"

"You ......"

"What are you? Think about it yourself, is this the truth, even a blacksmith knows how to make farm tools, pull them out and sell them, this place is not easy to sell, does it mean that other places are not easy to sell?"

Fan Wei was stunned.

When did this brother of his own speak so sharply?

Fan Wei is also a cheap, Fan Yang pointed at his nose and scolded him, and scolded him to a little reasonable.

Because this sentence happens to be bad, it speaks to his heart.

He has been complaining that the peasants in the township can't afford to pay for it, and once thought about changing the shop to another place and changing it to the county seat.

But there is no money, but even if there is money, it is estimated that it can only be an idea, and it lacks that courage.

"I need you to say, but the shop is now under this condition, what are you trying to force blindly, you know a ball. ”

"I know a ball? I don't understand, I'm hard-mouthed, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the rent for another two months, can you do it, don't you look at the people in the township, all of them are old farmers, or they're big children, you sell leather shoes here, you can sell them well, I went out this morning and asked someone to calculate, you have to take these leather shoes to sell outside, do you see those two blacksmiths? You don't like trouble, I don't like trouble, just put these leather shoes on the shelf, I will take them to the county seat, and I will sell them to you in the afternoon, you give me a few yuan to take the car, do you dare?"

When Fan Wei heard this, he was quite moved, and asked him to go by himself, but he didn't have the courage.

But he still couldn't be embarrassed: "You go and sell, don't give Lao Tzu a loss and you don't have to wear pants." ”

"Loss, you can think of it, in this way, you go with me, we won't go to the county seat today, just go to the cement factory, you watch me sell, I will set up a stall and sell this pile of shoes to you." ”

He gestured to the leather shoes on the shelf.

Sell to a cement factory?

Fan Wei's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea.

It's not that he's unwilling to accept it.

But then he remembered something, and said in a low mood: "It doesn't work, the workers of the cement factory have high requirements, and they don't look down on our shoes at all." ”

"What's the request? A pair of leather shoes costs a dozen dollars, and he still has a fart request? It's your method that is wrong. ”

This man is really scolded.

scolded him twice, but he softened.

But the problem is also obvious, Fan Wei has actually thought a lot about sales, after all, he has been handling this store for a year or two, so he has some experience.

To put it bluntly, the leather shoes themselves, the most important thing is that there is a quality problem.

Fan Yang took another pair of leather shoes from the shelf, and looked left and right in his hand.

This is a pair of men's leather shoes, if Fan Yang remembers correctly, this style should be called British style, wearing formal wear with leather shoes, but also the most classic style.

But this style has higher requirements for the quality of the leather itself, because the upper is a whole leather, and the face must be arched by the quality of the leather.

After looking at a few more pairs of men's leather shoes, I found that they are all this classic style, and the big deal is to tie the laces, and not to tie the laces.

They are all formal leather shoes.

"By the way, Uncle Wang, why don't you make some casual shoes to sell in the shop?"

"Casual shoes?"

Fan Yang slapped his thigh.

By the way, if you think about it, why didn't you think of casual shoes?

In his previous life, Fan Yang was still a relatively traditional middle-aged man, rarely wore sneakers, and there were many styles of leather shoes at home, but his favorite was still that kind of small casual leather shoes.

In later generations, most of the good sales of leather shoes were casual shoes.

Formal shoes like this are basically a product of the last era.

Young people in later generations, even if they wore formal clothes, often had a pair of casual leather shoes under their feet.

Of course, this doesn't mean the kind of big scalp shoes, or the weird-looking style.

He remembers his favorite being the ones that looked a bit like dress shoes, but with a slightly upturned toe and a square front, and a non-traditional rounded upper.

Instead, the upper is divided into three pieces, turned over with leather around the perimeter, and then locked with a thread, which not only looks good, but also looks small when worn on the foot.

What's more, I figured out the key to it all at once.

It is also the key to the popularity of faux leather shoes.

Artificial leather shoes can't be stretched, so why force it? The original arc of the upper is divided into three pieces, isn't it over?

The toughness is not enough to stand up, and you only need to thicken the materials on both sides.

I recalled it carefully in my mind, and saw a pencil on the table in front of me, and a notebook next to it.

Fan Yang picked up the pencil, repaired the tip of the pen with a knife, and drew it with a bang.

The speed of writing is very fast, and Fan Yang in his previous life has systematically studied art for a period of time, and he can draw sketches.

A pair of shoes, it's not too simple.

Just when Fan Wei was missing a door, and the old cobbler was stunned, Fan Yang's seemingly disorganized line segments were connected together after a while, and they became a pair of realistic shoes, which were very fast, and he drew a side, a faΓ§ade with an oblique perspective.

"Uncle Wang, look at it, will you make this shoe?"

After finishing the painting, Fan Yang raised his head and asked.

only to find that a few people looked at themselves like freaks.

Missing a door and picking up the notebook.

"Wow grass, Fan Yang, you can still paint?"

Fan Wei read it, but teased: "Cut, the book is not easy to read, and it is okay to scribble." ”

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Fan Yang didn't get angry with him.

And Uncle Wang said: "You say an upper, we divide it into three pieces to make it, isn't it much simpler? There is also an advantage, this kind of leather shoes are soft, comfortable, not afraid of deformation at all, this kind of casual shoes you see, can you make it?"

"Isn't this a boat shoe?"

Unexpectedly, the old cobbler only glanced at it and said it.

"Boat shoes?

The old cobbler picked up the notebook, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "These are the shoes, yes." ”

Would you not say it earlier?

Fan Yang was depressed.

"Leather shoes, there used to be only a few styles, and this is much easier to make than oxford shoes. ”

Looking at it, the old leatherman hissed and gasped: "Oh, maybe I'm really old and confused......?
