On March 8, before the reporter entered the assistance workshop of Chongqing Hongyuan Shoes Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hongyuan Shoes"), the "click" sound of the machine operation came to the ears, and Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

"The orders for the production of board shoes in the workshop have been arranged until May, and the products are mainly exported to European and American countries. During this period, everyone is very busy." Xie Kang, the head of Hongyuan Shoes Industry, took out a batch of orders to introduce to the reporter that in February, the workshop has delivered 15000 pairs of board shoes, and the day after tomorrow, 8000 pairs of board shoes will be sent to Shenzhen, and then exported abroad.

In the product display area, there are a wide variety of sneaker styles on the wall. "This pair of cricket shoes is a high-end brand in France. We buy raw materials from Guangdong and produce products according to customer requirements." Xie Kang casually picked up a pair of cricket shoes of a famous brand and said.

Following the "tap" sound, the reporter came to the production workshop. The staff either cut the cloth with scissors, or sewed the upper with a foot sewing machine, or fixed the shoe body. The whole workshop was busy but orderly.

"More than 130 employees in the workshop are all villagers nearby, and more than 40 of them are poverty-stricken people." Xie Kang said that helping villagers find jobs at home is one of the reasons for him to return home and start a business.

According to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data, as early as 2010, Xie Kang and his partner worked on the processing of brand shoes in Guangdong. Over the past few years, he has opened up the international market and accumulated some foreign sales channels. In 2019, Anping Town invited him to return to his hometown to start a business through investment attraction and gave him certain policy subsidies.

"I am a native of Anping, and it is incumbent on me to help the development of my hometown, and the local government has also given us a lot of support." Xie Kang said that the rent of the workshop in the first two years is free, which saves 300000 yuan.

In the final analysis, the products exported from abroad still need to be of high quality. Can the villagers finish the task with good quality?

"There is nothing new in the workshop. The training teacher in the workshop taught us to make shoe cloth by hand, and started it in about a month. During the training period, there was a base salary of 1700 yuan." Zhang Yu, a villager of Group 7, Heyi Village, Anping Town, said that now she can cut hundreds of shoe cloth a day, with a monthly income of more than 4000 yuan. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

Zhang Yu's production group is the manual group. In addition to the manual group, there are 8 production groups in the workshop, including the sewing machine group, the printing group, and the molding group. "A production group is a process link, and eight groups run through the entire production process of the board shoes. Quality inspectors are responsible for quality control from semi-finished products to finished products. We must not break the reputation of 'make in China'," Xie Kang said.

In the shaping group, a villager of Heyi village named Tuzuolin attracted the attention of the reporter. When the reporter greeted him, the man in his 50s stopped working, smiled at the reporter, and began to work again. Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

"Tu Zuolin is a congenital deaf mute. We specially invited a sign language teacher and trainers to teach him to make shoes, so that he can live a decent life with his own hands." Xie Kang said that there are four disabled employees like Tu Zuolin in the workshop.

Last year, Hongyuan Shoes produced more than 500000 pairs of board shoes, with an annual output value of nearly 50 million yuan, driving the per capita income of more than 130 villagers to increase by nearly 50000 yuan. "500000 pairs of sneakers have not reached the peak of workshop production. Next, we will strive to grab more foreign orders and help more people who are out of poverty and in need to get to work." Xie Kang said, according to Huacheng's import and export data observation report.
