Chapter 33: The Beginning of Talent
Since the adoption of the opinion of Wenlan, the company's return rate due to quality problems has plummeted, and there is no problem that Zheng Zheng was worried about affecting production efficiency, the company is much smoother than the original in a few months, and the status of Wenlan in the company is also increasing, although because of the company's structure is still only an acceptance team leader, but the role is obviously different from other team leaders, Zheng always likes to discuss with Wenlan what difficult things are.
Recently, the company has a difficult thing, because it is autumn, the company's high-top shoes were originally ordered a lot at this time, but the latest two models are rarely interested, and the same style of shoes produced by others are selling very well. He couldn't figure out what the problem was, he asked several customers, and they all said that this shoe could not walk, and the men's shoes and women's shoes were the same. There is a customer in the Northeast who reported that they had already ordered a batch of shoes of the same style, and Zhengfeng Company's shoes of this style were late.
Wen Lan knows that the shoes produced by the company are not developed by themselves, and they are all produced by Mr. Zheng after he went to the foreign market to buy samples, which is a counterfeit to put it bluntly, but it does not use other people's brands. Wen Lan thinks that always running behind others will not only fail to lead the market, but also have the risk of being tracked down by others. She also communicated privately with Jiafeng, saying that she should develop her own products, and she can't always counterfeit them, although the cost is low and the speed is fast, but the risk is also high. Jia Feng said that his father couldn't listen to him at all, and besides, he had done it for so many years, and no one came to track it down. His father even said that he can't suffer a loss if he follows others, and he can sell his own sales, although the sales volume may not be as good as others, but it will not be able to pressure the goods, and his own development must not only invest in costs, but it is not necessary to open the market, so he would rather follow others to make less money than take risks to develop his own products.
Looking at Mr. Zheng's helpless appearance, Wen Lan blurted out: "Mr. Zheng, we should have our own products." ”
Mr. Zheng frowned.
Wen Lan realized that she was wrong to say this, for such self-righteous people, should be in a different way, she said: "Mr. Zheng, look at it like this, why don't we modify it here, and make the upper higher, especially this women's shoe, isn't it more beautiful to add a pattern in front? ”
"yes, I couldn't have thought of that. Mr. Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What's more, this is equivalent to our own first-of-its-kind product, which means that we have our own product that makes people follow. ”
"Well, you're right. Zheng always felt that what Wen Lan said was not unreasonable, this method is worth a try, in case of failure, there is no loss, but it is just a loss of time, if it succeeds, it will be a large profit. He immediately called a few technicians over, asked Wenlan to tell them what he had just thought, and asked them to make a few pairs of samples in the evening.
"Mr. Zheng, is this okay? We've never tried to modify the design program. Technician Xiao Zhu said.
"Then try it today. Mr. Zheng said.
"I'm afraid it's too late, and I can't get it out at night. ”
"I don't care about this, there is a reward for getting it out at night, and if you can't get it, you have to deduct money. "Mr. Zheng's words are not negotiable at all.
"Okay, let's try. Xiao Zhu and they left after speaking.
"Wenlan, you have vision and ideas, and you will have time to help me come up with more ideas in sample design in the future. Mr. Zheng appreciated Wen Lan very much.
"As your employee, I should think about the company, only when the company is good will we be better. Wen Lan said very sincerely. This is not a big word to ask Lan, she really thinks so, as an employee of the company, she must sincerely serve the company. If she is the boss herself, she will also find ways to guide employees to do so.
"If only all the people thought like you. Mr. Zheng sighed.
"I think the motivation of our employees can be mobilized. But the point is that their time in the company is very short, except for a few technicians, the front-line workers have a short length of service. Wen Lan finally took the opportunity to express her doubts.
"Hehe, this issue is not discussed. ”
Wen Lan felt that there must be a secret in this, and since Mr. Zheng didn't want to say it, it was inconvenient for him to ask more.
Early the next morning, Xiao Zhu and the others got the samples out, and Mr. Zheng was very happy and immediately rewarded each person with 300 yuan. Then he personally took the sample and rushed to the small commodity wholesale market in Nanxin City to let the wholesalers see the goods.
"Mr. Zheng has a new variety? Yo, I haven't seen this on the market yet. ”
"Mr. Zheng, wait, I'll take a photo and send it over to see what the reaction is over there. ”
The market is Mr. Zheng's old customers, everyone is very interested in seeing these two samples, and the order is quite enthusiastic, and 20,000 pairs are ordered in one day, which has never been seen before.
When he returned to the company, Mr. Zheng was happy and immediately arranged for technicians to quickly carve out the model for each assembly line to step up production. He looked at Wen Lan even more differently, since she recruited her into the company, several ideas she came up with have brought great benefits to the company in terms of management and business, and they were obtained without adding any costs. He couldn't help but thank Li Chenglai, fortunately this guy doesn't know how to use people, otherwise how could such talents flow to me. He also expressed his sincere admiration for his insight, if Li Cheng only used her as an ordinary front-line employee, how could her wisdom be used by me?
These two shoes alone have brought 800,000 pairs of sales to Zhengfeng Company, which has never happened before, and the most imitated styles in the past is only 80,000 pairs. Mr. Zheng realized that he was right, if he wanted to go to the next level, he had to have his own style, and he had to lead the market by himself, and he couldn't always follow others to pick up some leftovers to eat. It seems that the company has to set up a research and development team to develop its own style. He called Wenlan to the office and said, "Wenlan, the sales of these two shoes are so high, it is a good phenomenon that has not occurred since the establishment of the company, thank you for coming up with a good idea, or are you right, we should have our own products." ”
Wen Lan realized that Mr. Zheng had accepted his point of view, and was very happy, and said: "Mr. Zheng is always a well-known entrepreneur in Nanxin City, and he has a lot of experience, and Mr. Zheng has the most say in this regard." ”
"I have only recently gained this voice. Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "Without your reminder and the practice of these two products, I still can't get this right to speak." ”
"I'm just talking about it, not necessarily right, the main thing is that your decision is right. ”
"Wenlan, I am ready to accept your advice and establish my own R&D team to design my own products. It's too late to operate this year, it's almost the New Year. You think about it for me first, and it will start to be formed after the New Year, and it will start operating next year. ”
"Mr. Zheng, your idea is very good, as your employee, I must think carefully about how to operate and do my best to come up with a good method. ”
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, you first propose a plan for me, and you will be responsible for this work in the future. ”
"Thank you Mr. Zheng for your trust, I will work hard and come up with a plan as soon as possible. ”
At the end of the year, Mr. Zheng invited all employees to eat Chinese New Year's Eve in the cafeteria, Mr. Zheng said that this year the company has made two major progress, one is that the return rate has been greatly reduced, and it will be reduced to zero by the end of the year; second, the sales volume of two high-top shoes developed by the company has made an unprecedented breakthrough. These two great progress is very remarkable, in order to thank everyone for their hard work, he announced that everyone will be given a red envelope, tomorrow everyone will go to the financial office to receive, after receiving the red envelope, they will have a holiday, go home for the New Year. Of course, the amount of red envelopes is different, and you can't ask each other. In addition, the company plans to set up a research and development team, led by Zhao Wenlan, and everyone will start to set up and run after the Chinese New Year.
Mr. Zheng This is the first time to send red envelopes to workers, in addition to this year's benefits are particularly good, there is also a layer of meaning, he realized that it is difficult to recruit workers, and wants to use this method to retain workers. Originally, when the labor force was rich, he didn't want ordinary workers to work in the company for too long.
Mr. Zheng was the first to toast to Wenlan and said, "Thank you, Zhao Wenlan, for devoting yourself to your work and making great efforts for the development of the company, I will toast you first with this glass of wine." After saying that, he drank it all.
Wen Lan also picked up the wine glass and said: "Thank you Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng took me in when I was expelled from the hotel, and I will never forget this love." After saying that, he drank it all. Then she poured another full glass and said, "Since you are an employee of the company, you have to work hard for the company." Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Asked Lan and said, "Shall we respect Mr. Zheng together?"
"Good!"
The scene was very lively, Mr. Zheng seemed extremely excited, he didn't expect that Wenlan would also mobilize everyone's atmosphere.
"I would like to greet you for the early years, I wish you all good health and good luck in the new year, and come back to work hard after the New Year!" Then, Mr. Zheng raised the wine glass above his head and said: "For the better development of the company in the future, let's toast together!"
This meal everyone ate happily, after eating almost 8 o'clock, Wen Lan pushed the bicycle to go home, Zheng always called Wen Lan, quietly stuffed a big red envelope to Wen Lan, said: "Your red envelope is different from other people's, tomorrow there will be many people to see the heart of the idea, the evening in advance to you, thank you for making such a great contribution to the company." ”
Wen Lan took the red envelope and said, "Thank you Mr. Zheng for your care, I will work harder next year." This red envelope is different from a private envelope, and Wen Lan gladly accepts it.
"You don't have to come tomorrow and come back next year when you go to work. Mr. Zheng said, "I won't give you if I drink too much, see you next year!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, you should rest early. Wen Lan said.
As soon as Wenlan Bicycle rode out of the company's gate, the mobile phone rang.
