Li Weidong went to the National Cotton Factory and asked an engineer to install and debug the machine. Then, according to the process provided by Professor Chu, he made the kind of core braid that Li Weidong wanted.

The next step is to purchase raw materials such as wool and hemp. This is not a problem for Li Weidong, who used to be a dispatcher. In terms of raw material transportation, the freight department also opened a back door for Li Weidong, and prioritized the delivery of the raw materials that Li Weidong needed.

With the raw material, the four high-speed braiding machines start turning at full speed, and the core-filling braids are produced one by one.

At this point, Li Weidong finally announced the new product he was going to launch.

On the drawing, a seat cushion is drawn, the seat cushion has a backrest, and at the position of the head, there is a design specially designed to cushion the head,

Li Weidong pointed at the drawing and said, This is the next flagship product of our factory!

This is a seat cushion with a backrest. Is it for the sofa?

I think a chair would work, too.

The back seems to be a little higher, doesn't it? Is the chair suitable?

Is the top part a pillow?

The four workshop directors whispered.

Li Weidong said, Everyone, this is not for sofas, nor for chairs, but for cars. This is a special cushion for car seats!

It turned out to be a car seat, no wonder the backrest is so high, and there is a place to rest your head on the top. Everyone suddenly realized and nodded.

Li Weidong went on to explain: Next, we will use the core braid, weave it into an ordinary cushion, and then process it into a car seat cushion.

Our core braid is made of hemp wool blend, which has strong air permeability, good heat dissipation, and can prevent static electricity. Especially in a humid and hot environment, if there is such a cushion, it can greatly relieve the body's stress. hot.

You can think about how hot it is in the cockpit in summer, it's like a steamer. With this linen car seat cushion, is it more comfortable to sit in the cab?

...

In the 1930s, the shock absorption system of the car was relatively bad, and it was very uncomfortable to sit in the car. At that time, some people put thick seat cushions under the buttocks to increase the ride comfort.

With the continuous development of the automobile industry, the shock absorption system is getting better and better, and car manufacturers have begun to pay attention to the comfort of driving and passengers. The car seat becomes softer and softer, and the car seat cushion gradually disappears.

Especially after leather car seats became popular, people in developed countries in Europe and the United States value the texture of leather more. Leather plus sponge is like sitting on a sofa, which is comfortable and classy.

In China, cars are relatively rare, and many people will sew a seat cover for the car seat, mainly not for comfort, but to protect the seat, so as not to get the seat dirty or damaged.

This seat cover does not provide additional functions, so it is not a functional seat cushion.

The truly functional car seat covers appeared in the 1990s. The earliest bamboo mats were cushions. After sitting on them in summer, you could get two pieces. Later, there were fur cushions, which could be warmer when you sat in the car in winter. Seat cushions of various new materials emerge in an endless stream, including genuine leather, microfiber leather, artificial leather, chemical fiber, ice silk, and sub-silk.

The Chinese are poor and don't want to burn their buttocks in summer and freeze their buttocks in winter, so they can only think about adding a car seat cushion. Countries such as Europe, America and Japan are rich, and they began to think of ways to use the seats. For example, seat heating and seat ventilation are all arranged so that passengers can withstand the severe cold in winter and the scorching heat in summer.

Later, domestic high-end cars basically did not install car seat cushions. High-end cars are all leather seats, which are the embodiment of their grades. Of course, they have to be displayed. With the functions of seat heating and ventilation, the car seat cushions lose their function. .

Moreover, airbags are often installed in high-end car seats, and the car seat cushion will affect the pop-up of the airbags.

It also affects driving safety. Therefore, manufacturers do not recommend car owners to install car seat cushions.

Ordinary-grade cars don’t have this concern. Many ordinary-grade cars don’t even have leather seats, let alone seat heating and ventilation. Therefore, car seat cushions are still needed to keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

As for airbags, ordinary-grade cars are equipped with dual airbags to four airbags, and some hot-selling cheap new energy vehicles do not have a single airbag. This kind of car plus a set of beautiful car seat covers can hide the poor configuration.

...

A deputy factory director, plus four workshop directors, are all good performers. Li Weidong said in a word that he wanted to produce linen car seat cushions. Deputy factory director Wang Jing immediately began to assign production tasks. The four workshop directors took the production tasks and then Go to organize production immediately.

Once there is a production task, there is absolutely no ambiguity, and the production starts immediately. This is the only advantage of the state-owned garment factory. At least, Li Weidong does not have to worry about production.

In the production process of linen car seat cushions, the most difficult thing is to produce qualified core-filling braids, which has been solved by Li Weidong, and the next step is to weave the core-filling braids into linen cushions.

In fact, this set of processes can also be completed by machinery, but Li Weidong chose to do so, but handed the process of weaving into mats to the workers of the garment factory and let them weave by hand.

The efficiency of hand weaving is certainly not as good as mechanical weaving, but the advantage is that the cost is low. The garment factory was supposed to support more than 300 workers. This is a ready-made labor force. Anyway, wages have to be paid every month.

In addition to weaving, a series of processes such as lining, cap head, waistcoat, accessories, quality inspection, and packaging are also required to make a car seat cushion. These are the old lines of clothing factories, and they are also handy to do.

...

In the conference room, there was a vacant seat for the leadership team.

Secretary Yu, Chairman Chen hasn't come yet, should we wait a little longer? Zhu Shicong asked.

Chairman Chen has been notified to go to the organization department. It is estimated that he will not be able to come back in a while. Yu Zhengcheng replied.

Hearing this news, Zhu Shicong was overjoyed.

Chairman Chen of the labor union has reached the retirement age this year. At this time, he was called to the organization department. The organization must have a conversation with him. Next, Chairman Chen should officially go through the retirement procedures.

Zhu Shicong looked at Yu Zhengcheng next to him subconsciously, and secretly said in his heart: It will be your turn next year!

Yu Zhengcheng is only one year younger than Chairman Chen of the labor union, and he will reach retirement age next year, which means that after Zhengcheng's retirement, Zhu Shicong, the second-in-command, will naturally go one step further and become the first-in-command of the transportation company.

During the meeting, Zhu Shicong was always in an excited state of mind, and the feeling that his daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law for many years lingered in his heart.

After the meeting, Zhu Shicong called Wang Haibin to the office.

Hainan, Chairman Chen is about to retire, you should know about this, right? Zhu Shicong asked.

Wang Haibin nodded: I know, the organization department has already talked to him. It is estimated that he is about to go through the retirement procedures.

There is still a process to go through the retirement procedures. Go back and see what else Chairman Chen needs. If you can solve it in terms of material, please help. Zhu Shicong asked.

Wang Haibin hesitated for a moment, then said, According to the usual practice, should we arrange for Chairman Chen to go out and investigate?

Zhu Shicong nodded: Okay, ask Chairman Chen's opinion to see where he wants to go. If you are outside the province, try to arrange it. If you go to Hong Kong Island, it may be more difficult. After all, Chairman Chen is not a company official.

Before the leading cadres of state-owned enterprises retire, they should arrange an inspection. This is something everyone knows.

In the 1980s, this kind of investigation was usually done in China. For example, we went to Xi'an to inspect the Terracotta Warriors, to Guilin to inspect the landscape, and to Hangzhou to inspect the West Lake.

If the level is higher, such as Yu Zhengcheng, he is eligible to leave the country and go to places like Hong Kong Island.

In the future, the inspection will definitely have to go abroad. If you want to be low-key, go to Japan for inspection. If you don't want to be low-key, go to European and American countries. Those who are bold dare to go to Las Vegas for inspection. But no matter where you go, the cost of the inspection is paid by the unit, and you don't need to spend it yourself.

Now that Chairman Chen is about to retire, this investigation naturally has to be arranged.

The investigation is not under the control of your purchasing department, but leave it to the office. But if Chairman Chen needs to purchase anything in the near future, you have to arrange it there.

Zhu Shicong's voice changed, and then he asked, What's going on at the garment factory recently? Did you ask for an order?

I heard that they no longer produce leather jackets. But they didn't ask me for orders. Wang Haibin is obviously keeping an eye on the garment factory.

Do you know what the garment factory is doing now? Zhu Shicong asked again.

According to the information I inquired about, the garment factory is making a kind of seat cushion, which is specially placed on the car seat. It is said that it will be cooler to sit on it in summer. Wang Haibin replied.

Zhu Shicong was stunned for a moment: Car seat cushion? Will anyone buy this thing? If you want to cool down, find a cushion to cushion it, isn't it the same!

Yeah, I think so too. But I heard that Li Weidong bought new equipment to produce this car seat cushion! Wang Haibin replied.

Zhu Shicong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: In the entire Qinghe area, the most cars are our transportation company, and the car seat cushions made by the garment factory. Buyer. This car seat cushion is not a necessity, you can buy it or not, you have to keep an eye on it, don't give Li Weidong an order!

Mr. Zhu, don't worry, I won't give Li Weidong an order without your order! Wang Haibin said viciously.

...

Meanwhile, in the garment factory, sets of car seat cushions are being piled up in the warehouse.

With more and more inventory, Li Weidong has no plans to find sales channels, and the car seat cushions produced are directly accumulated in the warehouse.

Wang Kaiping took a few invoices and came to Li Weidong for reimbursement.

Director, this is the invoice for the purchase of raw materials for hemp wool. You can sign it so I can credit it. Wang Kaiping handed the invoice to Li Weidong.

Li Weidong looked at the amount on the invoice, waved his pen, signed his name, and then returned the invoice to Wang Kaiping.

Wang Kaiping took the invoice and looked like he was hesitant to say anything.

Brother Wang, if you have something to say, we don't need to be polite. Li Weidong said.

Factory manager, this month, our production has been very prosperous, but none of the car seat cushions we can produce has been sold. Now the factory's expenditures are all based on the profits from selling leather jackets before. After all, this is not long-term. What a trick! Wang Kaiping said.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and asked, Do you think it's good for these broken cars in our country if they don't fall apart on the road, do you still need to buy a car seat cushion?

Uh, it doesn't seem to be useful. Wang Kaiping said honestly.

That's right! We produce car seat cushions, which are not sold in China! This thing is sold to foreigners.

Li Weidong smiled slightly, ignoring Wang Kaiping's surprised look, but looked at the calendar in front of him, and then said, This year's Canton Fair is about to start registration!
