Vanke'S Rebirth Of Nirvana: From The "Simplest" White Shirt To Practice, Concentrate And Perfection.
Lei Jun awaken the dream of people: to gross profit margin, to organize the structure, to KPI

At the height of my life, I began to feel vaguely wrong, but I did not know where it was wrong.
The first time I really wake up and let me thoroughly reflect on the fan mode is my good brother Lei Jun for many years.
Lei Jun and I were born in 1969 years old. He was 8 months younger than me.
Over the past 17 years, we have been working together and communicating a lot.
Because of the relationship between our peers, we have many similarities in our understanding of life and soul.
In the 2013 year of June, I had drunk a drink with Lei Jun at all guests, and I had a very unhappy conversation.
Lei Jun bluntly pointed out that the blind expansion of customers is the practice of the last generation. Enterprises like the future will be guided by the needs of users and products will be used to create brands.
His words are very stimulating to me. I think it is also true that we can predict the growth of the business from the growth of users, so as to set up the idea of SKU.
I thought to myself, you have developed millet, and you don't have to squeeze me.
The conversation broke up and I really believed in Lei Jun after two months.
In August 29, 2013, I visited him for the sake of gambling.
I emptied the half floor and hung out all the samples of all the guests.
I felt embarrassed when I walked with Lei Jun among hundreds of hangers, because it was the first time I saw so many real products.
I failed to find that none of them was available.
Lei Jun said he did not feel like standing in a shop, but in the department store.
This matter was completely recognized by me. After that, Lei Jun and I had seven or eight, seven or eight hours long talks.
Lei Jun said: "lack of concentration and lack of perfection is the reason why customers are having problems."
He gave my customers the three pformation directions of "gross profit margin, organizational structure and KPI".
Lei Jun asked me, can you concentrate on one of the most basic products first? I think the shirt is the most basic and can also reflect the technical content, and the most basic shirt is the white shirt.
From "the simplest"
White shirt
Begin to cultivate concentration and perfection.
At first I didn't think it would be difficult to make a white shirt. Everyone had made 14 million shirts.
But once you start to focus and examine carefully, the problem is coming.
In 2007, I was also involved in product discussions.
After the second half of 2009, people said, "if you don't know your clothes, don't mention your opinions."
I really don't understand, so I recruited many people in the traditional clothing industry to check and let go.
When I want to seriously do a white shirt, I ask these professionals what fabric, what type and how to make it, no one can tell the way.
The designer said, "white shirts have anything to do. Why not design more patterns?" - now they have basically left all customers.
In the past year, I have not been in Beijing for 3/4 of the time.
In order to make a white shirt, I began to arrange business trips to meet suppliers and find factories.
When I saw the supplier, I realized how old the mistakes I had made. They told me that they had visited me in Beijing in the past, but I was too lazy to see PPT and have no time to meet them.
They can only deal with the staff at the grass-roots level, and in order to get orders, they are also required to shower and sing.
These things make my hair stand on end.
It can be imagined that all the guests were already crowded with people.
How to get these people out of the field as soon as possible? I have made a tough move, no longer maintaining the false prosperity of the customers, moving the headquarters from the upscale office building of Yonggui center in West Second Ring to the remote South Fifth Ring of Yizhuang, who can not adapt to leave at any time.
Most people quickly felt the drop and psychological impact of moving.
Before moving, there were more than 5000 people. After moving, I thought it would be good to reduce it to more than 1000. I didn't expect it to be reduced to more than 300 at last.
When all the guests were on the dedicated and extreme route, I realized that there were so few people in need.
The process is like stripping the onion. The more it peels away, the harder it gets. The more stripped it is, the more cruelty it becomes, and the more stripped it is, we find out how much fun we have done before and how to join the crowd.
Once there were more than 200 people in the shirt department. Now there are only 7 people in the shirt team. Their main jobs are design, print, fabric and merchandiser, and the product manager of the shirt is actually me.
We first identified the Xinjiang quality long staple cotton as the fabric, then we fell into the design problem of the bitter white shirt, no matter how to do it, even copying, it can not reproduce the temperament of the big white shirt.
To meet Kyrgyzstan Kyrgyzstan, "the clothes I once made are garbage."
2014 years before and after the Spring Festival, the group of people in a collective despair, I once wanted to give up.
It was suggested that I go to Nam Dinh, Vietnam, to visit the Japanese shirt master Ji Guowu. Before I saw him, it happened to be the worst of our mood.
I didn't have much hope for this trip because I had been disappointed.
Because of my gloom, everyone on the plane didn't want to talk.
In the guesthouse in Hanoi, I asked the team members to go to Nam Dinh to see Ji Guowu first.
I was ready to fly back to Beijing at once.
The team arrived in Nam Dinh with such a gloomy mood. It also experienced dramatic disintegration and lost routes all the way.
Then, the lost mood suddenly became clear on the second day.
Ji Guowu is a real master.
He has been in Japan for more than thirty years, and has been serving for 120 years.
He told us the secrets of many design details.
For example, add a half lining under the collar, let the neckline be crisp; pinch 6 folds on the cuffs, tie the arms with the tie, and how to design the different bands of shirts to conform to the European and American version of shirts or slim or loose style.
The improvement of Japanese masters in making handicrafts has made us admirable and admirable.
For example, we have studied why clothes float in water and produce buoyant hair.
Japanese master let us first study the speed of the machine when the clothes are dyed. If the speed is too fast, it will produce Mao Yu. The speed is too slow and the luster is not enough.
The master retraced with our first gear until we decided the best result.
These seemingly simple problems are all the fundamental impetuosity in China.
In the past, we questioned the products, and partners gave me various quality inspection reports. They said that manufacturing was in line with national standards, European standards and Japanese standards, but meeting standards and user experience were two different things.
These things made me realize that all the clothes I made were rubbish.
Far away from the "bustle", the logo
When I first started as a fan, I said with great shame that the future international brands in China were only luxury goods, and that the consumer goods market would be dominated by Chinese brands. UNIQLO would fail in China.
7 years later, UNIQLO and Gap have been driven directly into China.
This is the biggest punishment for China.
During the year when I was making a white shirt, I wanted to give up many times, and almost everyone around me had wavered.
But as a leader, I give up before I die.
Fortunately, running helped me to keep up.
I am running more than 10 kilometers every day. The dopamine release from running helps me greatly. Once you start running, you will find that you can either continue to run or die, or sit there and sigh, or stick to it and become healthy.
Lei Jun gave me decisive support in spirit. When I was in a fog of future, he stood up to me in front of shareholders and reinvested everyone in crisis.
One evening, he said on the phone, "old age, I dream that you can do well.
The two men were more than 40 years old and fell in love at midnight.
Everyone in the family said that we could not find the right words to describe our feelings.
Lei Jun said that a good product must have a firm belief.
Good products will grow slowly with the accumulation of word of mouth, and usher in an outbreak in the future.
Lei Jun once asked me, do you think NOKIA bosses will be used by their owners? When the customers were in their prime, I wore Prada and Zegna.
Now, Lei Jun and I are all wearing a T-shirt and jeans for the whole summer. I think it's incredible.
There is no further financing plan for anyone, and some people have asked me when I will make hot spots like "any object".
I said, I am good at marketing brand, but I do not want to deliberately create any events, followed by the accumulation of word-of-mouth process.
I hope you will buy a piece in the future when changing season.
shirt
Or ultra light down jacket, can recall all guests, this is enough.
UNIQLO is such a step by step towards success.
I don't want to go any further. I've been together, and I've seen many companies that are busy.
