Chapter 231: Quality Issues

With the unpleasant experience of the ELLE magazine office, Lin Zhengrong did not bother to continue to participate in interviews with other magazines.

Unless he comes to the interview in person, he will reject the interviews that need to be booked.

When the work comes out and is recognized by insiders, then he will have more confidence on his side.

is not like now, even a traffic star like Qi Dong can give him a face.

Running to see the face of a magazine photographer, Lin Zhengrong felt that he was not cheap to this extent.

Of course, in the final analysis, he is not well-known enough, and the magazine does not want to see him.

Otherwise, how dare a small photographer make waves.

Don't look at this kind of high-end fashion magazines on the surface, but in fact, the magazine is not having a good time, in fact, since 05 years, fashion magazines have collapsed across the board, users are decreasing year by year, most of the fashion magazines are either closed down or laid off in large numbers, so many magazine editors are running to do self-media.

Those frequently updated fashion self-media accounts, many times, are transferred from fashion magazines to be responsible for management, and now the self-media companies responsible for operating fashion blogger accounts are more nourishing than ordinary fashion magazines.

Of course, there is certainly no comparison with a fashion magazine with a lot of resources like ELLE.

But it also illustrates the state of the fashion magazine industry from another side.

The acquisition of ELLE World Fashion Garden by Hearst Capital is the best proof of this.

The entire physical fashion magazine industry is in decline, and ELLE continues to get close to the Internet, shoot micro-films, and then continue to lay out in the field of mobile Internet, and launch its own APP and shopping platform is the best proof.

Of course, you can't despise other magazines just because you are not treated by others.

Such a mentality is unacceptable.

At this stage, Lin Zhengrong is still in the stage of being affirmed.

An ELLE interview is not easy, it still needs Qin Tingcheng to use his connections in the circle to get a public relations, if it weren't for this, he would have broken out in the magazine before.

So after he left the magazine, he still made an appointment with a photographer, and then rented a studio to shoot a set of fashion blockbusters.

Of course, the photographer he was looking for was not a senior photographer, but a photography student who was interviewing and shooting him that morning.

And the rented studio is not a top studio, it is in the Yanfu Innovation Park, a studio run by a senior.

If it weren't for a selfie, Lin Zhengrong would have planned to go into battle in person.

Veteran photographers have the benefits of veteran photographers, and newcomers also have the benefits of newcomers.

Veteran photographers can provide the creative work, while newcomers do the work.

Lin Zhengrong at this stage, prefers newcomers.

Besides, he's just a cover illustration, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a picture.

It stands to reason that the pictures taken must be the queen photographer of the magazine, after all, the photographer who can be on ELLE must also have a certain reputation in the circle.

However, people don't bird him.

So Lin Zhengrong provided the picture by himself.

If it is not qualified, it does not meet the procedure, and it is said separately.

But this trip took an afternoon, and the day passed.

The next day, Lin Zhengrong is also idle.

Since you have joined Allure Underwear, there is no way to wander around like an unemployed vagrant.

Besides, the fashion week is coming to an end, and his focus must be on the underwear side of Allure.

However, when he returned to the company this time, he no longer continued to stay in the edition room, but went to the factory on the outskirts of the city to squat.

His previous work has been improved and has been officially put into production.

He had to keep an eye on it.

If you want to occupy the market quickly, you must quickly distribute goods.

And the generation becomes crucial.

From design to publication, a set of clothes generally goes through the following steps: pattern making→ fabric cutting→ some complex pattern design→ joining→ ironing→ fitting and correction.

The same underwear products are the same process.

It's just that there are some differences in the production process.

However, the production process of underwear, or bras, has to go through four basic processes.

The first is design, needless to say, Lin Zhengrong is responsible for grasping it, and now the stage has entered the production process, and there is nothing to say about the design.

The second process is the composition of the material, the composition of the bra is quite complex, under normal circumstances, the bra needs the main fabric, lace, mesh frame, non-woven fabric, shoulder straps, underwires, bundles, and more than 20 kinds of materials.

In fact, in addition to the main fabric, other materials can be used as accessories.

Compared to custom fashion, bras don't have too many accessories.

But there must be something to have, so at this time, the fabric supplier is extremely important.

One of the fabric suppliers of Allure underwear is Zhang Liangjia Red Star Textile, and this guy was stuck in the neck of Allure underwear at the fabric supplier because of the conflict with Lin Zhengrong.

There is no way to solve this problem even now.

That is, in a short period of time, Allure underwear has not yet found a suitable supplier.

In fact, the underwear production component is the most basic, and the rest is the process and production links.

In terms of technology, Lin Zhengrong's previous improved production process of the never-deformable cup directly removed the steel ring.

It is precisely because of this that he is like a fish in water in the factory.

Whether it is Wang Youming, the vice president in charge of the factory, or other employees, they all have him, a new designer, and they are very impressed.

In the headquarters, you may need to worry about intrigue and intrigues, but in the factory, only if you have the ability and technology, then you won't be bad.

Unless emotional intelligence is very low, there is no such thing as office politics.

Compared with staying in the headquarters and doing nothing, Lin Zhengrong prefers to run the factory.

Of course, he looked at the factory area to run, and Chen Peng and the three of them definitely had no way to be idle, so they could only follow him all the time to run this way.

In terms of production, the operation method of bras belongs to the method of group collective operation. A standard bra takes more than 600 seconds to make each piece. In addition, functional bra processes such as hydration bladders and soft beads are more complicated, and it takes more than 2000 seconds.

This kind of assembly line work has very high requirements for efficiency.

Especially in modern factories, there is no way for independent employees to complete production alone.

600 seconds is ten minutes, which is not too slow, but the complex production process will definitely be more time-consuming.

Of course, after a bra has been produced, it must also be checked.

After the completion of the production process, the product will be inspected by professionals in an all-round way, and it will need to be re-inspected again before leaving the factory after passing the qualification.

There is a special product testing department here in Allure underwear.

Generally speaking, the whole testing process also has to go through three links.

After Lin Zhengrong ran around the factory several times, he had some understanding of the whole process.

But Chen Peng, they don't know much about it.

So after Lin Zhengrong brought them over, that is, on-site teaching, "Generally speaking, the factory has to go through three processes for product testing, the first process, do you understand?"

Chen Peng and Guo Tao looked confused, and finally Li Yanzhen said, "It should be a violent test." ”

Lin Zhengrong nodded, "That's right, it's indeed a violent inspection, this kind of inspection is to test the quality of underwear, so you don't need to look at underwear as underwear, it's best to treat it as a sack, tossing and pulling casually, this kind of detection, that is, destructive inspection, basically all factories will use this method for product testing, just like car detection, mobile phone detection, this way is very common." ”

However, the detection of underwear is definitely not a random pull, and the whole testing process still needs to be paid attention to.

Generally speaking, it is the time to detect machine washing, that is, the washing machine washing time, which can be extended to 90 minutes, and there is no way, modern people are lazy, and underwear that can't withstand the toss of the washing machine is not good underwear.

Of course, machine washing is just basic.

It must also be tested at high temperatures.

The hot water used is soaked and dried using a bucket, and then it needs to be dried at high temperatures.

After a series of processes, it is necessary to ensure that a bra needs to undergo physical tests such as high-temperature soaking, strong washing, rapid dehydration, and high-temperature baking and drying before it can be regarded as a qualified product.

That is, the so-called bra that never transforms, it must go through these links.

to be considered qualified.

It must be guaranteed that it is not deformed and decolorized, and it can be regarded as passing.

Of course, if you want to improve product quality, it is not realistic to rely on testing alone.

Processes need to be improved and even high-profile industry standards have been redefined.

Only in this way can we stand out from the crowd.

Everyone knows that Made in China is synonymous with cheapness, so naturally, the quality standards of domestic underwear will not be high.

The pull-up and rebound of the same fabric are not large enough.

If you want to make high-end underwear, you must change from manufacturing to manufacturing.

In this regard, Allure underwear still pays great attention to it, and has always been in line with international standards, rather than domestic standards.

We have always tried our best to be in line with international standards.

In this regard, Xiao Yueben has done a very good job.

Of course, the industry quality standards for bras are not the same as those for clothing, and they are independently established.

Allure underwear has been at the forefront in this aspect and has been leading the development of the industry.

Otherwise, why become a high-end underwear brand.

At the beginning, for this standard, Allure underwear invested a lot of costs in research and development.

The price is not small.

It has now also been proven that the company's previous decision-making was not problematic.

However, this decision was carried out by Qin Chengcheng and decided by the company's founder.

In Lin Zhengrong's view, they are all very wise decisions.

From product design to process improvement, after a week, the first batch of bras has been officially produced and is waiting for testing.

Because this was the first time Lin Zhengrong was independently responsible for the product, he brought Chen Peng and them over early in the morning.

Qin Tingcheng came relatively late because she had other things to deal with, but no matter how late it was, she also rushed over.

In any case, this is the first time that Lin Zhengrong is responsible for designing the product that is leaving the factory.

It should be said that this is the first batch of products to leave the factory.

How about the quality, whether it meets or not, the impression of the company's sales for the whole quarter is still very huge.

Besides, Lin Zhengrong is a rookie designer she invited over against public opinion.

I spent so much manpower and material resources to hold a solo show for him at Fashion Week.

If this time the product is messed up.

Whether it is for Qin Chengcheng or Lin Zhengrong, it is not a good thing.

Of course, the first batch of products has just been produced and has not yet been inspected.

It's not about messing up.

Because it hasn't stood the test of the market, none of this is a problem.

But no matter what, the first batch of products officially left the factory, which is still of vital significance to the company.

It is impossible for Qin Chengcheng not to come.

Not to mention, she was in charge of underwear design before, and she belongs to the product manager-type manager.

As an important series of products throughout the second half of the future, it is impossible for her not to pay attention.

Even if you want to cheer Lin Zhengrong up.

She came over too.

Qin Qingcheng came over, Chen Meng also came, in fact, not only them, but also the two directors of the design department also came.

Zhao Yu, the director of the marketing department, is no exception.

The senior executives of the company who met Lin Zhengrong in the first interview before, except for the director of the personnel department and the vice president Zhang Yaowen, all came.

Several girls also came to the president's office.

Yuan Lin was definitely not absent.

The mighty convoy slaughtered to the side of the factory, which is indeed a bit grand.

Everyone knows that today is an important day.

So even Wang Youming held a small welcome ceremony.

Lin Zhengrong turned into a host to greet Qin Chengcheng and them.

In fact, he had only just been here for a short time.

No matter what, he came faster than Qin Chengcheng.

Besides, Qin Qingcheng is coming, and it is impossible for him to stay in the factory all the time and not go out.

Fortunately, although Qin Chengcheng is young, he doesn't care about these false courtesies, and the leader of the enterprise is not the leader of the government department after all.

I don't pay much attention to that.

Not to mention, a young woman like Qin Qingcheng.

Today's focus is not on the welcoming ceremony.

It's in the product testing process.

As long as there is no problem in the product inspection process.

Then there are no problems.

Therefore, after Qin Qingcheng and their convoy entered the factory, they did not stay too long, and went straight to the factory workshop inspection department.

In fact, at this time, the technicians of the inspection department are also ready.

Just waiting for Qin Qingcheng and them to come over.

This scene is like the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the opening ceremony.

I had to wait until the leader came over to start cutting the ribbon.

In fact, the real reason is not so, but the time when the first batch of products was produced, which is just right.

And not much in advance.

Qin Tingcheng just knew that the first batch of bras today was out of the factory, so he rushed over.

Everyone is waiting for the results of the test.

However, after so long of foreshadowing, if nothing happens, it will be too sorry for a large number of viewers.

Something did happen.

And it's also a matter of quality.

It's not too serious, but it's deadly.
