Postgraduate Low Carbon Entrepreneurship: Newspaper Making Shoes And Buying Old Books

hold Old newspaper The paper is cut into strips, paste on special glue, then woven into shoe upper, then made of genuine cowhide or pig skin to make shoe tips, heels and soles. The vamp saves resources, environmental protection and breathability. The pictures and characters on the newspapers are different and have a personality. He is a master in public affairs management. He founded and sold two patents for inventions and utility models by producing and selling "newspaper shoes".

The idea of "newspaper shoes" originates from his grandmother: in 2009, the town of Yu Dai was attacked by river water, and some workers came to pick mud to reinforce the embankment. Grandma spent all day at home selling straw sandals to migrant workers who had been returning to the mire all day long. "Straw can be woven. Shoes Other strips can also be used. " When he looked for raw materials from his waste, straw, books, and newspapers tried everything. Finally, he found that only the length of fiber in old newspapers was similar to that in straw. Raw materials were very cheap and easy to knit. But everyone knows that "paper is afraid of water". How can newspaper shoes go through "wind and rain"? Inspired by the structure of paper cups, he finds the glue on paper, so that the "adhesive tape" on the vamp is not afraid of water.

Despite the success of the newspaper's shoes, he returned home in 2010 and registered the company at home. But he is completely unfamiliar with shoemaking. He learned the craft of making shoes, including making shoes, making plates and making last products. He also bought a batch of equipment and hired local masters to spread art to his company. Unexpectedly, the master only stayed in the understanding of working for money, and was very careless in style and quality, but did not understand the market.

Let's go down south again. Xie Ask the teacher, experienced master Wu for his careful guidance, he finally step by step into the line. In July 2010, his first newspaper shoes came out. The wholesaler told him: these shoes are more suitable for the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn. In July, everyone will prepare winter shoes. The funds that were not enough on the hand were suppressed. At the end of last year, the cost of tuition was almost 100 thousand yuan.

After all, it is a master's degree. After pondering over experiences and lessons, he divides the old newspapers into the weaving of peasant women. He is responsible for running orders. He only organizes production with a list, without wasting manpower and funds. Finally, the first batch of regular customers came, the local shoe wholesalers, the price of 10 yuan a pair. The cause of dawn is beginning to dawn. In his lecture hall, he said that the biggest problem at present is that the market is not big enough and the funds are not enough. In order to find a preferential policy to support college students' entrepreneurship, he has run many departments, but so far he has not been on the top.
