Dominate China and win the world.

Jiangkou Town (now Jiangkou Street) along the mountains and rivers in the upper reaches of Fenghua is the birthplace of the most famous clothing school in modern China-the red gang tailor. From the end of 19 to the 1930s, many famous fashion designers appeared here, such as Jiang Liangtong, who founded the first suit shop in China, Wang, who made the first suit in China for bourgeois revolutionary Xu Xilin, Wang Hongqing, who founded the first large-scale clothing enterprise in China, made the first suit for Sun Yat-sen, and Wang Hongqing, who founded China Garment Factory to produce uniforms to support the front line in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. In the 1980s, bathed in the sunshine and rain of reform and opening-up, Romon was born in Jiangkou, a fertile land for red gang tailors. After more than 20 years of struggle, today, Luomeng has become a large-scale clothing enterprise group that strives for China, wins the world and is famous at home and abroad. Its leading figures are Sheng Junhai and Sheng Jingsheng. Their experience embodies the successors of the red tailor spirit, who are hardworking, brave in struggle, and never stop pursuing one track-minded. At the same time, it proves once again that "development is the last word" and innovation is the driving force of development.

From the beginning of processing

In the early 1980s, amid the rising suit craze, Jiangkou Town Government decided to carry forward the tradition of Jiangkou's hometown of clothing, and set up a clothing factory with the help of the skills of Honggang master retired from Shanghai and their relationship in other places. Looking around for the director, I finally finalized Sheng Junhai, a hardworking and thrifty farmer in Shengjia Village.

At the beginning of the establishment of this suit factory named "Romon", there was nothing and many difficulties. The factory borrowed a 200-square-meter spare room in the commune canteen at that time; Start-up funds were raised from employees, borrowed temporarily from relatives and friends, and borrowed from credit cooperatives, with a total amount of only 20,000 yuan; Sewing machines and electric irons are provided by employees; Technology, please pass it on, help and bring it to the retired master; Business, using the master's popularity, is related to finding a way in Shanghai and processing for Peromont, the most famous clothing company in Shanghai. Shanghai Peromont was the champion of the national suit industry at that time. The processing of Peromont is not easy. The requirements for technology and quality are really too high. However, difficulties created Sheng Junhai, who established the concept of linking product quality with enterprise life from the very beginning. In order to meet the quality requirements of brand-name clothing, Sheng Junhai forgot to eat and sleep and stayed in the factory day and night. Shengjia village is close at hand, but it is common for Sheng Junhai not to go home for 20 days for half a month. At that time, the salary of Sheng Junhai, the head of a factory, was only 28 yuan, while the monthly salary of the janitor was 1000 yuan, which was dozens of times different.

Sheng Junhai's efforts finally paid off. The clothes processed by Romon have won the favor of consumers with the advantages of fine workmanship, scraping lining, ironing, novel style and exquisite fabric, and have been rated as high-quality products by Shanghai Huangpu District Clothing Company for two consecutive years. 1985, 1986. In the past two years, the output value of the factory has quadrupled, achieving a profit of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, digging the first bucket of gold and improving the conditions for running the factory.

Sheng Junhai set up a factory, carefully calculated and unproductive expenses, so as to accumulate more funds and expand the scale of the enterprise. He often delivers goods to Shanghai, lives in a shelter, eats popular food, and sometimes even works hungry. He has fainted in the railway station many times. In this way, Sheng Junhai set an example and led 39 employees to work hard, overcoming all kinds of difficulties at the beginning of the business and laying the first cornerstone for Romon's future development.

Chuangpai Xingye

1986 in the second half of the year, the suit craze began to cool down, and Shanghai Peromont Garment Company linked with Romon proposed to switch from underwriting to distribution. In this way, at least two-thirds of Romon's business has to be solved by himself, forcing Romon to go his own way and make his own brand.

How to make your own brand? Sheng Junhai issued a brand building declaration to all employees: based on the advantages of the red gang, with the help of foreign advanced technology, to create a "super-first-class" brand. To this end, after careful consideration, he adopted a three-pronged approach: first, learn from the strengths of well-known domestic brands in fabrics, crafts, styles and so on. Second, hire Dong Longqing, Lv Chengfa and other descendants of the Red Gang to come to the factory to guide production and improve quality. Third, carefully calculate, reduce costs and improve market competitiveness.

Three-pronged approach, immediate, Romon brand reputation rose. From 65438 to 0987, Romon brand suits were rated as high-quality products by Ningbo, and men's coats were rated as excellent products by the Ministry of Agriculture. 1989 Romon brand men's suits were rated as high-quality products in Zhejiang province, and 1990 was also rated as excellent products. In the same year, with the advantages of "accurate specification, beautiful shape, fine sewing and zero missed inspection rate", it won the first place in the national wool suit quality spot check and was praised by the State Bureau of Technical Supervision. Since then, Romon has gained a firm foothold in the clothing market.

199 1 year, "light, thin, hard and soft" modern style suits began to be popular in the market. Sheng Junhai sized up the situation and followed the trend. He tried his best to raise 20 million yuan, build a 30,000 square meter factory building, and introduce advanced production lines, which improved the level and strength of the enterprise. 1993 and invested150,000 yuan to buy Italian stereo ironing line equipment and fabric preshrinking machine. 1995 introduced a batch of special clothing equipment from Germany and Italy, which upgraded the suits produced by Romon. During the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, Romon invested 654.38 billion yuan to carry out four technological transformations. Beautiful factory buildings, modern production equipment and famous clothing brands have attracted the attention of international merchants. At that time, two Japanese businessmen wanted to buy Romon, and a French businessman came up with a high price to buy Romon's trademark, but both of them were politely rejected by Sheng Junhai.

As Romon became more and more famous abroad, foreign businessmen began to seek cooperation and joint venture with Romon to set up factories. 1992, lomon and Japan Santai fashion co., ltd invested1220,000 USD to establish Ningbo lomon Santai fashion co., ltd, a sino-Japanese joint venture. From 65438 to 0993, Romon bought a 40% stake in Fubet Clothing Company, a Sino-American joint venture. By 1994, Sheng Junhai adopted the tactic of "borrowing a boat to go to sea", and established a total of joint ventures 10, which was close to the RMB 0/100 million in Romon export delivery value/kloc in 2000. During the period of 1996, 400 suits with Lomond brand trademark were exported to the United States, which was favored by American merchants and consumers, which opened the first time for national brand clothing to enter the American market and was proud of the Chinese people.

Sheng Junhai's symbolic contribution to the construction of the big ship Romon was that in 1994, Romon won the title of "Top Ten Famous Suits in China" for its excellent performance of "quality first, total score second". With the highest honor of China's suit, Romon has established his position in China's suit industry, and also strengthened his future enterprising direction.

Due to the success of her career, Sheng Junhai's popularity and reputation in the society are increasing day by day. She has won many honors: Fenghua District and Ningbo Municipal People's Congress, Ningbo outstanding entrepreneur, Zhejiang outstanding party member, outstanding entrepreneur, and enterprises led by Sheng Junhai, a national textile industry model worker. Her products have also won a series of reputations and awards:

1990 The enterprise was rated as an advanced unit by the Ministry of Agriculture, and men's suits were rated as excellent products by the Ministry of Textile Industry of China.

1997, Romon was awarded by the State Bureau of Technical Supervision for sampling inspection of advanced and excellent products in the clothing market, and passed the ISO9002 quality system certification that year.

Young people should be respected.

1998, Sheng Junhai bravely retired, pushing his eldest son Sheng Jingsheng to the front desk and becoming the president of Romon.

Sheng Jingsheng is only 28 years old. /kloc-graduated from high school at the age of 0/8 and worked as a salesman in Romon suit factory. In the meantime, he studied while working.

As the old saying goes, "heroes and teenagers since ancient times" and "awesome in the afterlife". After Sheng Jingsheng took charge of Romon, he dared to innovate and keep pace with the times, constantly pushing Romon's career to a new peak.

Reform the system

Sheng Jingsheng believes that Romon must be transformed into a joint-stock company if it wants to have greater development. As soon as he took office, he joined closely with 10 core enterprises to form a group company limited. At the same time, he broke the family management mode and adopted institutionalized, standardized and stylized management methods, which improved the corporate image, economic benefits and economic strength.

Improve equipment

After the restructuring, Sheng Jingsheng raised 80 million yuan to transform the assembly line equipment. Japan's computer sleeve machine, shearing and climbing machine, Italy's hand-made edge machine, fabric pre-shrinking machine, three-dimensional ironing machine and other world-class production special equipment have been introduced. 200 1 invested another 36 million yuan to introduce more than 300 world-class intelligent boutique suit making equipment from Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. The perfect combination of Hongbang traditional craft and modern high-tech equipment ensures that more than 300 suit production processes reach high standards, realizes a technological revolution in the history of Romon's suit making, and has a far-reaching impact on Romon's development and growth.

Recruit capable people

Work in machines, art in people, and the key to improving product quality lies in people. In view of this, Sheng Jingsheng stepped up training his own designers and producers on the one hand, and hired top designers at home and abroad to join him on the other. In Romon, the descendants of the Red Gang lived in the same room with famous fashion designers from Japan, Italy and South Korea, each with his own ingenuity and strengths, which opened up a new world for the design and production of Romon suits. Sheng Jingsheng adopted the designer's suggestion that clothes should be personalized, introduced three sets of computer laser measuring equipment worth nearly 3 million yuan from Italy, took the lead in developing customized high-end gentlemen's suits in three major cities, including Beijing, and established customer computer files, and developed 65.438 million lifelong customers in three years. This laid the foundation for Luomeng to become one of the largest professional clothing production bases in China. With this move, Luomeng achieved sales of 65.438+0.5 billion yuan.

Innovative sales

Shortly after Sheng Jingsheng took office, he drastically changed the traditional sales model of the sales department to add points to the company, and built a "trinity" marketing system of specialty stores, shops in stores and agents, which expanded the radiation radius of Romon products from point to area. To this end, he cut off six branches with annual sales below 2 million yuan, allowed large companies to merge, and implemented a competitive mechanism with annual elimination rate 10%. At the same time, 50 million yuan will be invested to implement the "three hundred" marketing management project, that is, to open stores 100, monopoly offices 100 and agents 100 nationwide. Today, Lomon has 186 sales branches, more than 30 flagship stores and more than 2,000 specialty stores in China, and its terminal market covers all provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and more than 250 large, medium and small cities. Through the operation of ERP advanced management system, a large-scale market operation system with perfect network management has been established.

First, Liu Yang, the top domestic fashion designer, was hired as the chief designer of the enterprise, and famous teachers processed famous brands to create fine clothes.

Graceful stars and elegant Romon clothing complement each other, which further enhances the popularity and attractiveness of Romon clothing and brings considerable benefits to enterprises. Fifth, Lomond clothing tour exhibition was held, which was displayed in more than 20 provincial capital cities in 2000.

A suit is an exotic product. It is as difficult for foreigners to like suits exported from China as it is for China people to like Hanfu imported from abroad. Why can Romon suits be favored by foreigners? Sheng Jingsheng's answer is: "Romon's suit is inclusive and has made the flavor of oriental culture on the basis of western craftsmanship." 1At the end of 999, the president of Japan Tricycle Co., Ltd. came to China to attend a friend's wedding. He and more than 0/0 men in the same trade are wearing Romon suits. He said, "It is the most fashionable to come to China to attend a friend's wedding and wear a Romon suit.

Ai Guo Ai Xiang

Red gang tailors have a fine tradition of loving their country and their hometown. Jiang Liangtong, Wang Caiyun and other outstanding figures have run many public welfare undertakings in their hometown, benefiting the people of Sangzi. The same is true of Sheng and his son.

Sheng Jingsheng said: "The development of enterprises cannot be separated from the party's reform and opening-up policy, from the support and help of all walks of life and villagers, and from the joint efforts of all employees. It should be taken from the people, used by the people, and returned to society. " According to incomplete statistics, since 1994, the heads of the two generations of Luo Meng have donated more than 38 million yuan for social education, poverty alleviation, welfare for the elderly and disaster relief in the Yangtze River. Among them, the donation of 1000 million yuan has been used to build a modern agricultural demonstration park in Jiangkou Town, support charity, welfare for the disabled and build roads and bridges in some rural areas of the city. Driven by Sheng Jingsheng, the company contributed 2.5 million yuan in cash and in kind to 1998 Yangtze River catastrophic flood. Since 1999, it has donated 2.5 million yuan to the Ningbo University Scholarship Foundation, built teaching buildings, set up scholarships and purchased teaching equipment for many primary and secondary schools such as Danzhai Ethnic Middle School, Fenghua Middle School, Jiangkou Middle School and Chengbei Middle School in Guizhou, and donated more than 3 million yuan to the "Love for Talents" project of Zhejiang University.

Sheng and his son also took good care of the employees of the group, allowing more than 3,000 employees to participate in rural endowment insurance, social insurance and medical insurance. This alone will cost more than 6 million yuan a year. When employees are sick or have financial difficulties, the company always helps them enthusiastically. A female worker has got lung cancer and has left her job for three years. Sheng Jingsheng still asked the chairman of the company's women's Federation to visit her and sent 30 thousand yuan to help her treat her illness. The female worker was so excited that she burst into tears and even called her "savior". In June 2002, Sheng Jingsheng was awarded the "Gold Medal of Glorious Cause" by Zhejiang Glorious Cause Promotion Association for his great contribution to the glorious cause of poverty alleviation.
