Xia Chunbin Looks For Shoes Business Opportunities

It was another accident when we met Xia Chunbin in the big market of Rino. Xia Chunbin's mother is from Lezhi, Sichuan, and her wife is also from Sichuan. Since he was born in Xinjiang, he has opened his business in Sichuan. Outside, he likes to call himself Sichuan businessman. As chairman of Chengdu German shoe industry Co., Ltd., Xia Chunbin's company produces 300 thousand pairs of shoes every year, 200 thousand of which are in Moscow. 100 thousand more are sold to Central Asia. Here is another main battleground of his business. Back to 20 years ago, at that time, Xia Chunbin, 33, was still working in a large state-owned enterprise in Xinjiang. He had a salary of 3000 yuan a month, so that all his old classmates would envy him. "But I am not resigned to it." Xia Chunbin said, especially to see the relatives around, one by one has made a fortune in doing business.

The middle-aged man who had passed the years of his life also moved his mind and decided to gamble. When he was more than 30 years old, he abandoned everything and went to sea. His classmates all said he was crazy. "Crazy is crazy." At this time, he had already put all his eggs in one basket. At that time, Russia had a shortage of light industrial products. Many Russian businessmen will purchase goods at the border trade ports between China and Russia. "I thought there was a market for shoes sold in Russia." In fact, from the beginning of the first decision to now, Xia Chunbin has never separated from shoes for decades.

China and Russia Frontier trade There are not many open ports. Among them, Xinjiang belongs to one. At first, doing business with Russians belonged to a relatively large market trade. Later, with the frequent border trade between the two countries, many wealthy Russian businessmen will stay in some of the more expensive hotels. Xia Chunbin took the opportunity to consult with the hotel and put the samples of his product in the hotel.

In this way, you can give publicity to your products, and second, to facilitate customers to see goods. When the customer orders the product, he orders the goods, and Xia Chunbin takes the goods from the mainland and sells it to the Russians again. The strategy of killing two birds with one stone is very successful. Once he made 6000 pieces from the mainland one day. Walking shoes One of them has 30 pairs. 180 thousand pairs of shoes were bought half of the day.

As the shoe business grows, it grows in the long run. Sichuan Xia Chunbin, who took the goods, decided to march toward the shoe manufacturing industry. In 2006, he opened his first shoe factory in Chengdu. From the early stage of the shoe design to the later production and sale, the whole industry chain of the whole shoe is contracted. "I also opened another enterprise, the main high-end footwear industry brand, has been waiting for opportunities, to the impact of the top brand women's shoes." Xia Chunbin said.

Bangladesh media reported that due to the continued weakness of the euro and other major currencies against the US dollar, the export of leather has been in a predicament in the current fiscal year. In the last fiscal year, the leather industry of Bangladesh entered the export Club of 100 million yuan (US dollars), and the total export of leather, shoes and other leather products totaled US $1 billion 124 million, of which leather exports amounted to US $505 million and footwear products exported to US $378 million.

In view of the good export performance of leather industry in the last fiscal year, the government set a target of export of US $1 billion 400 million in the current fiscal year. However, data from Bangladesh's Export Bureau showed that the overall export of leather industry fell by 1.14% in the first 9 months of this fiscal year (March May 2014 -2015). Leather shoes exports increased by 20%-25%, but leather and leather goods exports fell by 20.26% to $304 million.

According to industry estimates, because of the poor performance of leather raw materials exports, the export target of $1 billion 400 million is hard to achieve. The Bangladesh Tanner Association says the country's total export of leather is about 200 million square feet a year, in sum, 500 million dollars.

Md Shaheen Ahmed, chairman of the Bangladesh Tanner Association, said: "the decline in leather exports is mainly due to the decline in the euro, yen and RMB exchange rate against the US dollar." He said the decline in the euro has affected Bangladesh's overall exports.

Md Delowar Hossain, former Secretary General of the Bangladesh fur traders Association, is a leather exporter. He said the export price of high quality split leather is between $2.7 and $2.8 per square foot, compared with $3.1 last year.

He explained that because of the decline in global raw leather prices, many exporters began to hoard leather, with a view to changing in the coming months. He said local demand for leather is on the rise because of the growing demand for shoes in Bangladesh.
