Chapter 12: Jiangnan Tannery
Early the next morning, when the two arrived at the leather store, they were taken aback.
In just one day, Fan Wei and the old leatherman drove out more than 20 pairs of leather shoes.
Fan Yang stared at his red eyes, and he didn't sleep much at first glance.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, you shouldn't have slept, have you?"
"No, I went to bed at two o'clock last night, can you see if it's enough?"
Fan Wei rubbed his hands: "That's it, I'll go with you today to see if it's good to sell." β
Fan Yang nodded, plus the 9 pairs made the day before, there were a total of 34 pairs of leather shoes, only six pairs of women's shoes, and all the others were men's shoes.
A few of them, with some trim on the upper, look a little richer.
What surprised Fan Yang even more was that there was actually a shoe box.
Fan Minh Li bought hundreds of shoe boxes and put them in the store, and after making the shoes, he glued out dozens of shoe boxes by the way.
It's just that there is no text on it, it's just a box with a paper shell.
If only there was another tag.
Fan Yang thought of it in a fly in the ointment.
If you want to put it in the future, just find a printing shop, find some 250 grams of coated paper, it is easy to print some tags, bolted to the shoes, and it looks much more formal.
Fan Wei looked at Fan Yang with a look of hope.
Unexpectedly, Fan Yang thought for a while: "I'm going to sell it today?" β
"Isn't it too little?" Uncle Wang looked at Fan Yang with a tired expression.
"No, there are enough of these shoes, and with those samples on the shelves, they are enough to sell. β
"Why is that?"
"You rest, I'll go and step on it first. β
Fan Wei thought for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, you should go and familiarize yourself with the place first." β
Not far from the town, there is a state-run cement factory, which is said to be the only dry suspension kiln cement factory in the whole city, with thousands of permanent employees, and it is a large factory.
The lack of a course along the way was particularly exciting: "Fan Yang, I thought that you would definitely be successful in the future when I was a child, because you are different from others." β
"How is it different?"
After persuading Fan Wei in the leather store the day before yesterday, he is now impressed by Fan Yang because of the lack of a door.
"It's got to be someone who does big things, I can see it. β
"Huh. "Lacking a sycophant kung fu, it's still lacking.
"I thought about going out to do some small business by myself, but there was no way, I didn't sleep all night yesterday when I thought about it......"
Halfway through, there is a lack of a door but it is swallowed.
"Say whatever you want. β
"You said that our leather shoes will be sold, will your brother give us some money?"
"What do you want to do so much now? As long as you earn money, may you still be missing?"
Although he didn't get a positive answer from Fan Yang, he still nodded fiercely.
It only takes more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle to see the factory gate, in the memory of the previous Fan Yang, I have been to the cement factory several times, so this time it is also familiar with the road, the state-owned enterprises in the 90s have their own set of living system, divided into the factory area, and the family area, two parts.
The scale of this cement plant was very large, and the welfare of the employees was quite good at that time.
There are complete supporting facilities, not only the children's primary school in the factory, but also a cinema that can accommodate hundreds of people, basketball courts, and staff clubs.
It is equivalent to a cultural and sports square.
The square is centered on a basketball court and is surrounded by family buildings on all sides.
All of them are 7-storey buildings, units are allocated, or raised funds to repair houses.
Fan Yang took the missing door with him, rode around and looked around, and soon found the prime location.
There is no doubt that this basketball court is the activity center of the entire cement plant.
First of all, there is only one main road in the whole cement plant, and the workers have almost a fixed route to get to and from work, and the basketball court is surrounded by several restaurants, clubs, and libraries.
On the other side of the basketball court, there was an old man who set up a coal stove there, popped corn there, surrounded a large group of children, and made a lot of fun there.
It seems that no one should take care of the stalls.
Things like setting up a stall, for Fan Yang, it is not too simple, what marketing, what eloquence, what skills and so on are all waste, and finding the right supply and demand is the key.
After a brief investigation, Fan Yang thought about it for a while, and simply took it over and sold it in the afternoon.
The cement plant works in three shifts, with the day shift from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the middle shift from 4 p.m. to 12 p.m., and the evening shift from 12 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day.
Then from 3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, there is a wave of peak people, and from 6 to 9 o'clock in the evening, this period is the entertainment time of the employees.
Fan Yang also paid attention to the dress of the employees.
Commuting, most of them are the kind of leather shoes that are turned over the wool, and most of the others are still wearing leather shoes, or pull back rubber shoes, and there are still very few sneakers in this era.
And most of the styles of leather shoes on the feet of these workers are classics.
Fan Yang is very confident that in one afternoon, more than 30 pairs of leather shoes will be sold out.
Because in the 90s, it was the peasants who were really hard.
Especially in this area of Sichuan, the handicraft industry is not developed, in addition to digging in the soil, planting some fruit trees, weaving dustpans, making some mats, in addition, there is no tradition of spinning and weaving, and the small peasant economy of male ploughing and female weaving is very lacking.
The cash income of the peasants is pitiful, but their children go to school, see a doctor, buy clothes and shoes, and their daily life is inseparable from money.
So the working family is so enviable.
Although the workers are not rich, in 92, the average salary per capita was still more than 300 yuan.
The accommodation is also much better than in the countryside.
In the 90s, the families of employees have lived in two sets of three buildings, with electric lights and televisions, furniture and sofas, and no problem eating meat every day if they don't like to save money.
For farmers, 19 yuan a pair of leather shoes, which can be called a luxury, is no problem for them.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Yang rode his bicycle first, and then came to the basketball court with a large bag of leather shoes on the back rack.
After a while, Fan Wei, Uncle Wang, and one door was missing, so they took two more pocket shoe boxes and came to the basketball court.
"Why are you here?"
Fan Wei smiled, his attitude towards Fan Yang in the past two days has turned a 360-degree bend.
In the past, when I spoke to Fan Yang, I whispered a little even if the sun came out in the west.
But now when I see Fan Yang, I smiled, and looked at Fan Yang's eyes a little dodgy, as if I was afraid of upsetting Fan Yang: "I just thought that it would be okay to stay in the shop, there is a lack of one person, two pockets of shoe boxes, and he can't take it away alone, so I came to help by the way." β
"Okay, let's put it here. β
Fan Yangxuan's location is on the side of the road next to the basketball court, opposite the club, and on the left is a single dormitory building, with a wide field of vision, and people can see it at a glance.
"Well, well, you just say it. β
Then there is not so much attention, directly a piece of oil paper to the ground, more than 30 pairs of shoes are all placed on the oil paper, a pair of pairs are arranged, next to a piece of cardboard written "low price processing, casual leather shoes 19 yuan a pair." β
The shoebox is like a building block, stacked half a person tall behind the shoe stall.
After a while, it was almost four o'clock, and it slowly became lively along the way.
Several workers wearing work clothes and wearing cement gray saw the shoe stall here and immediately surrounded them.
Pick and choose,Obviously very interestedγ
"If you like it, you can try it, try it casually, and buy it if it fits." β
When Fan Wei saw it, his face turned red with excitement.
Hurriedly pulled out a bright smile and beckoned those employees to try it on.
And an employee tried it on, and it is estimated that he also has a bit of a coarse character, looked left and right, and didn't ask anything, and immediately took out two 10 yuan ones: "Come and buy a pair, which one collects money?"
In just ten or twenty minutes, a shoe stall slowly surrounded dozens of people.
"These shoes aren't bad, huh?"
"What leather?"
"This one should look good in white pants. β
"Boss, what's this?"
Looking at the popularity, Fan Yang obviously underestimated people's enthusiasm for new things in this era.
So he took out a small notebook that he had written last night and handed it to the missing one.
And the missing door cleared his throat, and he was also thicker than the city wall, and read it out loud:
"Wenzhou, Jiangnan Tannery, Jiangnan Tannery, closed down, the boss surnamed Huang owes hundreds of millions, with his sister-in-law, running away with others, now, all leather shoes are handled at a low price, the original price of 98, 68, 128 leather shoes, now all sell only 19 yuan a pair, don't miss it, Jiangnan Tannery, Jiangnan Tannery, closed down......"
