Little Shoemaker Has Become China'S Shoe King.

"So far, Kangnai has more than 2500 stores in China."

Zheng Xiukang, who interviewed JINGWAH times, said that Kangnai currently has more than 100 stores in China, and Kangnai plans to open more than 1000 stores overseas in 11th Five-Year.

Who can think of today's Chinese shoe king, more than 20 years ago, because of the simple survival reason of raising a family, Zheng Xiukang started his own shoe making way in the 8 square meter rental housing.

The 33 year old teacher, who was a teacher at the age of 2, quietly learned how to make shoes. The first pair of shoes sold for more than 2 yuan. "In 1970s, the national economy was quite difficult. My family was also in great difficulties. My wife was not in good health, and there were two children in the family." talking about the original intention of making shoes, Zheng Xiukang told reporters that in 1978, the spirit of the party's the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee awakened the people of Wenzhou, and made him reexamine his life and consider how to change the current situation of poverty.

"At that time, I decided to make consumer goods, either to make a sofa or to make shoes, and finally to choose shoes, because the houses at home were too small, and a small family crowded in only 8 square meters of room, and even a sofa could not be put down." I recall that I had been 33 years old. I said, "6 years old," the teacher shook her head and said, "don't learn. I only recruit fifteen six year old apprentices. It's very difficult to learn, and at least 3 years to go to school." Zheng Xiukang said.

"I have to raise a family's life, teach me, I can do it!"

Zheng Xiukang's sincerity finally moved the master, because at that time he was still working in the factory, and Zheng Xiukang could only learn to make shoes by steals.

With more than ten years' experience as a mechanic, only 40 days later, Zheng Xiukang made his first pair of leather shoes.

In the next few days, Zheng Xiukang made several pairs of shoes on the same night. When the National Day was sold to the shoe store, the shoe store owner looked at his shoes and told Zheng Xiukang: the shoes for others were 14 yuan, and your shoes were 16 yuan.

Zheng Xiukang's explanation is: I learn mechanical origin, and the most important thing is to attach importance to technical standards, such as the thickness of leather, the distance between nails and stitches of each part, and the other shoe makers rely on visual inspection. But I measure them with calipers. The same is 39 yards of shoes, even though they are hand made, but they are absolutely the same. What's more, the shoes produced are comfortable and comfortable to wear.

Zheng Xiukang, the deputy director of the company, sold the accompanying wives, and the deputy director of the factory, the small shoe maker, the little shoemaker, the "shoes made by Zheng Xiukang", soon spread to the ears of the factory leaders. The factory leader was worried about brain drain, and asked Zheng Xiukang, who was already the deputy director, to talk and ask him, and promised him the housing distribution.

This is what Zheng Xiukang said, but now he can do a sum of money. He can do three pairs a day, and earn at least three times more than a month. If he resigns, he will earn more, and the life of his daughter-in-law will be better.

In the end, Zheng Xiukang made a formal resignation to the unit, and became a shoemaker in the sea.

"The hardest part is to have no field, no money," recalled Zheng Xiukang, who is now very grateful. Now, he said, "thank you very much for your wife. The house of 8 square meters has become a workshop. The wife will bring out all the articles that he married. All the 5 rare woolen watches and watches in the year are sold at half price.
