Everyone knows that Lao Lang, the editor-in-chief of Straight Line, is an experienced runner. Not only does he love to run, he also forms a running team to run with the people around him. It is said that things gather people in groups, and the running group is led by the old wolf, and the people run more and more. Xu Yuping, the person in charge of Yuemei Water Knife Parquet Factory, is also a member of the running team.
Xu Yuping told the editor that after a few months of running, he lost weight from 156 kg to 142 kg, and his mental state has improved a lot and his body is healthier.
Based on the glorious image of Comrade Old Wolf, the editor was fortunate enough to communicate with Xu Yuping face to face.
During the communication, the editor found that Xu Yuping admired not only the running performance of the old wolf, but also his perseverance and hard work, which of course also fits his beliefs.
In more than an hour, Xu Yuping mentioned many times that "any industry can do it, the key depends on how you do it." In Xu Yuping's view, personal efforts are largely Decide whether a thing can be done. When running a business, he has always strictly demanded himself, "We must do what we promised."
slate After the emergence of , many colleagues have switched to rock slab processing, but Xu Yuping chose to stick to his position " waterjet parquet", Even Wanda Plaza has the figure of "Cantonese water knife parquet". It is difficult for other ceramic tiles to open two processing plants once, but Xu Yuping's processing plant needs to be expanded. How did he do that?
Of course, Xu Yuping also faces the difficulty of recruiting workers, and even humbly asks the editor about suitable recruitment platforms.
Next, let’s take a look at Xu Yuping’s entrepreneurial story. The following content was dictated by his editor and compiled into articles:
what to make money and do _s5sp _strong span1 _span3sp _span1 _span1 _span1 _span1 _strong_p88p Investing in children's clothing stores and hamburger shops, Foshan has a waterjet parquet factory and a ceramic tile processing factory. The business focus is in Foshan, and the main focus will be on the Foshan processing plant in the future.
waterjet Mosaic used to be the distribution of Dongpeng in Beijing for more than ten years. Because of Beijing's major urban renovation in 2015 and 2016, a large area of the building materials market was demolished and rented out The house was also demolished and I returned to Foshan in 2016.
We in Fujian do what we make.At that time, a fellow said that water knife parquet makes money, so I went to do water knife parquet. In 2016, the business was very hot and there was no downtime for 24 hours.
After the emergence of rock slabs in 2018, the impact on the factory was relatively large, and the specifications of rock slabs could be laid straight. At the same time, the simplicity of style has emerged and the parquet market share has been compressed. Up to now, we only have to switch on during the day, and the impact is still quite large.
In 2018, I partnered with a friend to open a ceramic tile processing factory with one opening and two. I am only in charge of the business and the factory friend manages it. At that time, the factory was 3000 square meters, and the last boss was also doing ceramic tile processing once and twice, and it closed down. Within a few months we took over the factory area and expanded by 1000 square meters. Business has been booming up to now.

perform high-efficiency is our strong advantage
Waterjet parquet and ceramic tiles are both generation processing without core technology. We rely on service to win.
Compared with processing plants in other regions,We occupy the right place and people. They are generally used by one person for more than one person, which is difficult to make finely, and the quantity is not enough, and there is no advantage in cost.
In Foshan, so many ceramic enterprises support, the processing volume is large, and the processing cost can be greatly reduced. Professional talents and advanced equipment are gathered here, the craftsmanship is unmatched by other places, and the damage rate is almost negligible.
In addition, our processing plant has a clear division of labor, each process has a dedicated person responsible for each process, and each department cooperates with each other to perform its duties, which is more efficient. We are now seeking efficiency for efficiency. The Foshan processing plant is also very competitive, and there is no way to survive without efficiency.
Take a ceramic tile processing factory as an example. The most basic processing, the price is the same as ten years ago, but the wages of workers have risen sharply, and only large quantities can make a profit. This requires the factory efficient.
Some big brands tried to do their own processing, and found that the cost is about the same as for us, and the cost is even higher than that of us. So many brands choose to let us do it, because it is more worry-free and more efficient.
And the most important point is that we attach importance to "delivery on schedule". When it comes to speaking, we must do it, and will not cause unnecessary trouble to customers. Once trust is established, it is easy to achieve long-term and stable cooperation.
We have reached strategic cooperation with many companies,Not only limited to ceramic companies. We also do the parquet of Wanda Plaza. Of course, we are "curving to save the country" and cooperate with the brick supply enterprises of Wanda Plaza.

recruitment difficulties is the biggest problem
Speaking of the biggest difficulty at the moment, I feel that I cannot recruit people. Other rock slab processing plants must also face the same problem.
After the water jet is cut, it needs a worker to polish it with a hand grinder and put it on the table. Sometimes ceramic tile manufacturers have different thicknesses, and the flatness and gaps have to be adjusted repeatedly. The complex pattern has thousands of parts put together, the reverse side is well assembled, and the front side also needs glue. There are strict standards for dimensions and gaps, and they can be packed with wooden racks after passing the inspection.
needs to be done manually except for cutting. The workload is very large, very hard, can not recruit people, or can't do it for a few days and stop working, I am very worried now. ,Normally full staff requires 40 workers, but now only 60% are recruited, and there is a huge shortage of workers.
Of course these jobs are very hard and the salary is not very high. Few young people are willing to do this job. Most of the workers are born in the 60s and 70s, and a small part of them are born in the 80s, and there are almost no born in the 90s.

loyal persist in the end is my strategy
I said that the impact of waterjet parquet after the emergence of rock slabs is very serious. Many colleagues have switched to rock slab processing, but in my opinion, there is a market for any industry. It depends on how you do it.
The peers have changed their careers, so someone needs to take over the remaining share. People in Fujian all believe that hard work will win, and any industry needs to persist. If you encounter a trough, you will give up to do other things that you can't eat the cake. It is better to focus on doing a good job in your own market. So I don't plan to do rock slab processing, but stick to the waterjet mosaic and ceramic tiles.
If you want to eat bigger cakes, you must continue to expand channels.Therefore, we will seek to reach strategic cooperation with more ceramic companies in the future. In addition, it has reached strategic cooperation with tile suppliers of real estate enterprises (such as parquet in Wanda Plaza), so there is no need to worry about no orders.
On the other hand, I plan to set up a dedicated team to do Douyin, so that the products are directly facing consumers, so that the vitality of the company can be stronger.

can solve other people's problems can not be solved is your chance
As for the advice to entrepreneurs, I personally think that it is too difficult to recruit people for not doing labor-intensive industries. Do what you like, so that you are willing to invest a lot of time and energy, and it is easier to succeed. We need to be a replicable industry, and use a model to continuously release growth, such as ceramic distributors, burger shops, and so on.
The secret to a successful business is very important in my opinion. You may not be able to provide money, but you can guide the direction. In addition, you must focus on one thing and do it in depth. If you can solve the problems that others can't solve, you will have more opportunities.There is also a very important point. There is a market in any industry. If it is determined, we must stick to it and devote ourselves to doing a good job.
In the process of starting a business, you must constantly improve yourself. The boss is the boss to grow bigger, and when the people are done well, things will not be bad.
