Chapter 185: Play as an underwear expert again

After leaving the headquarters building, Lin Zhengrong's second stop was the factory of Allure underwear.

According to Qin Chengcheng's introduction, the factory area with a total construction area of 14,000 square meters at the beginning of the factory area realized traditional storage, manufacturing and accommodation for 300 people through independent functions.

However, after Qin Chengcheng took over, it has been expanded by two or three times, and the building already under construction has added a R&D office, as well as a distribution center and a product display area of more than 20,000 square meters, in addition to the production workshop accommodation area.

According to Qin Chengcheng's planning, the factory will continue to expand.

Anyway, it is now a factory with a total construction area of more than 50,000 square meters.

The number of employees has grown from 300 to 600.

In addition, the staff dormitory is completely separated from the factory.

Anyway, the entire factory area is divided into three parts, leisure area, living area and work area.

The greening of the factory area is also very good, although it is not the scale of an industrial park, but for an underwear company, it is quite remarkable.

It can be said that Allure Lingerie has transformed from a manufacturing-centric industry to a true fashion brand.

Although there is no way to lead the industry, according to Qin Qingcheng's ambitions, it is moving towards the leader of the domestic underwear industry.

Along the way, Lin Zhengrong and Qin Chengcheng took the same car, which was Qin Chengcheng's special car, the black BMW 7 series.

In the words of this woman, Mercedes-Benz is the car of township entrepreneurs, or it is better to be BMW.

Lin Zhengrong smiled and stopped talking.

Whether in his past life or in this life, the BMW 7 Series is very distant for him.

But sitting in the back seat of the car, listening to Qin Chengcheng introduce the situation in the factory, Lin Zhengrong also listened with relish.

He had to sigh that Allure underwear is indeed rich.

It is estimated that Qin Tingcheng also guessed his thoughts, so he smiled, "This factory can be said to be the biggest family foundation left to me by my father, in the eighties and nineties, the land in the capital was not so terrifying, the country called on entrepreneurs to export to earn foreign exchange and encourage manufacturing, but when the suburbs of Beijing were planned to become an industrial zone at this moment, because it was too partial, many companies were reluctant to come, so the land was not expensive." ”

Then the woman began to complain about the model, "so the struggle of the manufacturing industry for a lifetime, it is better to buy a piece of land, the factory and the headquarters building is already the company's core assets, but out of the appreciation of these fixed assets, the company's development is not fast, has been attacked by domestic and foreign counterparts, so in the company's schedule management, it took me a lot of experience." ”

Lin Zhengrong is helpless, is it really good for you, a business CEO, to complain about these in front of a student who has not yet graduated from college?

Qin Qingcheng said, "I know you don't understand, so I complain in front of you, if you don't complain in front of you, this little guy, who else can he complain in front of?"

In the end, she shook her head, "That's not right, you guy, goblin, maybe you know better than anyone else, or you give me ideas!"

This time, Lin Zhengrong really rolled his eyes, "Mr. Qin, you spare me, manage the company, where do I understand, I am just a little designer who learns design." ”

Qin Tingcheng chuckled, "You are not a pink little designer, once the new product sells well, you will be the chief designer of our company, and you can even be called the chief design officer, don't forget, we are a group company." ”

Sweat!

Just listen to that.

Not really.

His experience lies in design, not in managerial talent.

As if sensing Lin Zhengrong's perfunctory, the woman continued, "You guy wants to become a big designer like Weaver and Paul in the future, and you still need to have your own brand, and you want to establish a famous fashion brand, how can you do it if you don't know management? You don't understand the supply chain? You don't understand management? You don't understand production, you don't understand the market? Just master design, it's still very difficult to create a famous brand." ”

Lin Zhengrong had no choice but to surrender, "Really, where do I have these ambitions, just have my own designer brand in the future, if I can, creating a high-end workshop is the biggest dream." ”

Qin Qingcheng was dumbfounded, "Young man, you can, then congratulations on your future success, when the time comes, don't forget my sister's kindness at the beginning!"

……

Joked all the way, and the factory area was soon reached.

See a huge triangular building from afar.

The exterior appearance of the main building of the entire plant has been changed from aluminium cladding to a combination of aluminium and glass.

The first impression is that the combination of masking and transparency is very good.

The car entered the entrance of the factory and went directly to the main building and stood down.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Wang Youming, the vice president in charge of the factory, standing in front of the building with several important persons in charge of the factory and began to greet him.

As soon as they saw Qin Chengcheng and them coming down, the other party hurriedly greeted them, "Welcome to Mr. Qin to come over to inspect the work, welcome, welcome." ”

Qin Qingcheng smiled, "Mr. Wang, you are too polite. ”

Wang Youming shook his head, "Where, you're welcome, although you are all in Yanjing, but you are a busy person, I haven't seen you for more than half a month, not to mention, you came over today or sent us support, you must line up to welcome today." ”

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Lin Zhengrong, and he didn't need Qin Qingcheng's introduction at all, so he said directly, "This is Assistant Lin, sure enough, the hero is a teenager, it's really rare." ”

Lin Zhengrong stretched out his hand with the other party and shook it together, and said politely, "Mr. Wang has won the award, it's just luck." ”

Wang Youming hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, this is not luck, I was born from the technical work of the workshop, and I admire you educated high-achieving students the most, so you must not be humble with me, Mr. Qin sent the technical plan, I have read it, and I also let the accessories department make molds, and the results will appear soon, but Assistant Lin, you come here for the first time, we will take you to take a good look at the factory first, Mr. Qin, it has been a long time, first take a look at the expanded factory area, and then go to the workshop to have a look, how about it!"

Qin Qingcheng said, "You are the person in charge, follow your arrangement, Assistant Lin's opinion!"

"I don't have a problem!"

Lin Zhengrong can have any problems, he is a little assistant.

One of them is the boss and the other is the vice president, and his opinion is really not important.

Of course, he insisted on reminding him to take the lead in visiting the workshop, of course, there was no problem, and Qin Qingcheng would definitely not refute it.

But he doesn't have emotional intelligence to this point.

Since Wang Youming has said that the accessories department is dealing with the mold, it means that they have attached great importance to the improvement technology of his physical examination, and now they are in a hurry to watch it, which means that they don't trust people's attitudes very much, and there is no need.

Besides, he also wanted to see the scale of the factory in the suburbs of Beijing.

The factory area is indeed very large.

The main building hall alone is 12 meters high, and then Wang Youming led them from the public entrance to the southwest corner of the factory.

The building has a lot of character.

Although the exterior and interior exteriors of galvanized aluminium and concrete, respectively, reflect the industrial nature of the factory, the aluminium veneer design with vertical tabs and the precast concrete panels come alive on the flat cube with a visible aesthetic to the naked eye.

The staircase in the hall winds its way up a thin white columnar curtain.

The columns are designed with different inclinations to separate the factory from the museum.

The folded staircase also served as a descending catwalk to showcase the new lingerie collection, with models walking from behind the pillared shade to the hall audience.

So the whole hall can be used as a large indoor show venue.

Moreover, the show of the whole factory area is much more luxurious than that of the headquarters building.

In the future, if Allure underwear releases its own new products, it can be moved from the small show in the headquarters building to the factory area.

This sense of exploration and mystery is often echoed by light, walkways, curvilinear openings, and rounded quadrilateral patterns abstracted from perforated fabrics.

It can be seen that the interior design of the building is very careful, and it is the work of a professional design firm.

Wang Youming walked in front of the road again and again and said, "Our Allure Museum and the ground floor conference center for industry activities have been fully completed, the conference center and the hall are office areas, and the manufacturing area shares the public deck surface to reduce the communication time between the administrative area and the manufacturing area, so the entire factory area is integrated, in addition to the living area, basically the new building can be manufactured and office." ”

Lin Zhengrong listened and nodded.

This is also a benefit of garment manufacturing, which is not a heavy industry and does not emit any pollutants.

As long as a sewing machine is added to the workshop, one worker can complete the sewing of the entire underwear.

It is a type of work that can be done in an indoor building.

So in addition to the manufacturing area, companies can also host events, exhibitions and industry conferences in the building.

After a round of visiting, Qin Qingcheng smiled at Lin Zhengrong and asked, "How do you feel?"

Lin Zhengrong nodded, "It's great, it's luxurious, it's very magnificent, it's exactly the same as what I imagined a big company to look like." ”

A garment factory or an underwear factory can have 600 people, which is already a very large factory.

You must know that in the Pearl River Delta, some small factories have basically more than a dozen employees.

A small factory with a dozen people can even receive orders from foreign brands.

But this kind of small factory is more like a project subcontractor, subcontracted layer by layer.

But in this sense, the employees of the underwear factory do not need to be very skilled.

Workers are not the same as designers.

The core stuff is left to the technician.

And Lin Zhengrong: The accessories department they are about to visit is the core department in the factory.

Generally speaking, there is no way for a small factory to open a mold, but a big brand like Allure underwear does not have this kind of worry at all.

Besides, it is not so difficult to open the underwear mold cup.

However, the whole process still encountered difficulties.

Wang Youming took Lin Zhengrong and Qin Chengcheng to the accessories department, and called the person in charge of the accessories department over, and the other party was a little depressed and said, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Wang, the effect is not very ideal, and the shape of the mold cup is very difficult to control." ”

Wang Youming's face was not very good, "What's the matter?"

The person in charge hesitated a little, and then said, "I just made a mold cup, but the hardness is not enough, it is easy to disguise, will there be a problem in our process?"

Wang Youming glared at the other party, "How do you speak, there should be no problem with the technology provided by Mr. Lin, this process is very clear in the manual, is it a mistake in any of your links?"

The person in charge was also very wronged, "No, we are strictly in accordance with the technical instructions to make, first find a thick sponge, and then use the cotton to dig holes, the shape of the sponge is made, directly put it in the high temperature environment to press, the mold is no problem, but we pressed out of the mold cup hardness effect is not ideal, there is no way to achieve the effect of the memory steel ring, this process should be no problem." ”

Lin Zhengrong also nodded, "There is indeed nothing wrong. ”

He thought for a moment, and then said, "Can I watch how the whole process is made?" To be honest, the improved technology I provided before has not been tested many times, but I have tried it a few times with the teacher in school, so there may be a problem in the middle link, and I can't guarantee 100% in this aspect, so I hope you can try it a few more times, how about it?"

Wang Youming waved his hand, "There is no problem with the whole idea of technical improvement, and you also provide us with a possibility, if there is still a problem, it is that there is a mistake in their operation link, and you must not be blamed for Assistant Lin!"

The person in charge was anxious, "Mr. Wang, we all tried our best!"

I didn't expect Wang Youming to be really angry, "Yuan Datou, what nonsense are you talking about, what are you trying your best, if you try your best, why haven't I seen you help improve the technique once, do your best, you don't have to work for a day, you just say that you tried your best, a few more attempts, or your life, besides, the general direction is pointed out to you, what else can you worry about." ”

In the end, he said, "Go, bring the mold cup just made and show it to Mr. Qin and Assistant Lin, Assistant Lin is an expert, maybe you can see the problem." ”

An expert made Lin Zhengrong cry and laugh.

When he was in the Allure underwear flagship store before, he was also known as an underwear expert.

It's just that it's in the selection and matching, which completely belongs to the category of art design.

However, now it is a matter of craftsmanship, and it is entirely in the category of process design.

People who haven't been in a garment factory for a few years don't have to think about it if they want to become experts.

Besides, he didn't study fashion design and craftsmanship, he was just a pure art student, even if it was fashion design, it was also biased towards art.

If you want to say that he knows a little bit about structural design, but process design, he is completely a layman.

The reason why he proposed the whole sponge alternative this time was not how well he understood the manufacturing process.

It's just that this scheme was already very common in previous lives.

As long as it is not difficult for people who know a little about underwear.

So after seeing that all the underwear in Allure uses steel rims, he wanted to make a try, and subconsciously proposed this process improvement.

Then I think that now I will shoot myself in the foot.

Now I can only bite the bullet.
