Coming to Hiep Hoa Co., Ltd of Tran Doan Hinh in the countryside, famous for this traditional weaving, we were really surprised to see the stages of producing finished textile products are made by machines and chains. modern. It was even more surprising to see Director Hinh in the workshop, supervising, checking each production stage as if it were a real worker. Hinh was always busy, busy, stopped listening to the phone and ran the work and checked and reminded the workers to pay attention to every job detail.
Looking at the style, people of Hinh are very rustic, simple and honest. Especially when seeing the image in the clothes is somewhat humble, it is simple, close, not serious, serious in the Veston "wings" as the directors we often see.
Introducing us about our company, Hinh said: Last year, the fire burned the whole factory, there was no more damage, nearly 7 billion VND. This is a newly re-invested factory, operating only for a few months now. Total funding for procurement of machinery and equipment, production lines, construction of items of factories and infrastructure nearly VND 60 billion. In particular, more than 44 billion VND invested in production lines and equipment. [Nbsp]
We jokingly said: "May be a burning factory, so I have a new investment opportunity, and no one is still in good health, throwing away the old workshop, making a new workshop."
He smiled and said, "You have to borrow more to invest." The previous factory was old, but still works well. Burned out, unfortunately. But only, doing business must be hard, it is a lesson for me to learn more carefully. New investment, I have conditions to expand the workshop, increase production capacity and have the opportunity to develop ”.
Abandoning stability
We kept thinking that we would be empty-handed after the fire, who would be so strong. Because in fact, Hinh's company was established and has been operating for less than 7 years. Before that, Hinh was just a "single, monopoly" guy who went to trade in the form of a "stork", nobody knew. So, seeing the bravery, the energy strives in the Hinh people. But Hinh is also true, dare to give up a stable job, with a higher salary than many others to go to the hometown to "wander" to sell waste cotton.
It was about twenty years ago. At that time, Hinh had just finished secondary vocational training in Nam Dinh city, then went to Hanoi to work as a technical staff for some private projects, earning enough to cover his own life and save money. A little send to the family. There were many things, he returned to his hometown to call nearly ten other cousins and villagers as masons and builders. In the first month, Hinh received salary for the brothers from the project owner. But unfortunately, Hinh lost everything. Everyone suspected Hinh "to play", so he left all. Hinh kept regreting forever and it was only a few years later that he was able to pay all the money to him.
Working for a while in Hanoi, Hinh returned to his hometown to apply for a job at a state agency, also doing the right technical expertise. The nature is honest, straight, professional, it goes through reality, so all construction and construction projects are assigned to ensure proper technique and quality. Leaders trust and colleagues love, so after a short time, on the right occasion, Hinh officially entered the payroll. But after all, after 7 years of working, Hinh applied to quit his job, not to go anywhere, but to go back to his village to trade cotton. Everyone was surprised, surprised, and questioned about Hinh's "unusual" actions, then felt sorry for Hinh. But Hinh thinks differently: "Until now I still have a good career in construction. But at that time, I kept thinking about the weaving industry in my hometown, sometimes taking a vacation to make some trips to buy cotton waste to make cotton materials for the yarn manufacturing companies ”.
Perhaps born and raised in the countryside with a tradition of weaving, Hinh wanted to contribute to maintaining and developing his father's profession. Moreover, at that time, Ha Nam province also had many policies to attract investment, creating conditions for enterprises to expand the production of fibers, products from textile fibers, creating demand stimulus for the traditional weaving village of Hoa. Post-local economic development. So Hinh became a small focal point to buy waste cotton, provide clean cotton as raw material for yarn production for companies in the region.
"Reluctant" became Director
Since returning to trade "bronze", Tran Doan Hinh "wanders" all the above villages, the lower hamlet in Hoa Hau commune buys waste products and scrap of companies discharged, brought them back and sold them to companies, large production facilities to produce textile yarns, earn some profit. But work is sometimes not convenient at all. Many shipments, Hinh buys too bad scraps, carries on preliminary processing, refining the cotton forever, or because it has not been experienced yet, cotton has not reached the standard, so when brought, the companies return . After such a time, Hinh mindful, must create prestige by product quality, whether it is a little profit or breakeven, even loss must be done. There is such a new existence, it can be done for a long time.
Determined with this way of doing business, Hinh gradually regained the trust of customers, gradually expanding his cotton purchasing and processing facilities. But, once again Hinh's business was unfavorable, a large number of goods delivered to companies were not accepted, the reason Hinh did not have a red bill. Looking at the pile of unsold goods full of houses but impatient, pitying, standing still. How much capital is dead, Hinh is at risk of bankruptcy.
In "the hard thing comes out smart", Hinh thinks of establishing the company. So one day, the "guy" of scrap cotton trader Tran Doan Hinh "reluctantly" ran backwards, running around the procedures to become the Director of the Limited Company, just to make the trade convenient. more, not to be dreadful or impersonal. “It is said that the company, but the first equipment used for production is only agricultural tools, such as: porridge, hot, nia, rake, table chang ... specially designed for the public. cotton processing. Wasted cotton, brought in by family members like making goods, also dried like drying paddy, sifting, and filtering impurities, so that the quality of cotton was the best, and then packed in. for the company ”- Director Tran Doan Hinh said.
Once delivered to the Company, Hinh found that the old machine processed the broken cotton and dropped it, Hinh bought the repair to make the goods. Unexpectedly, the machine worked, opened a new direction for Hinh. Since then, Hinh did not buy cotton waste and sell raw cotton, but switched to producing textile yarns for companies specializing in the production of items such as face towels, tablecloths, linens, and canvas. ... This is also the beginning period for Hinh's company to approach, equip modern machines and production lines of textile fibers.
Now Hinh's production workshop is carried out in a closed process, from processing cotton waste, tearing yarn to making cotton material, to stages of putting into the production line of textile fibers. . On a monthly average, the factory produces 150 new products of textile fibers, with a turnover of about VND 6 billion.
As a result of poverty, Hinh respects workers and poor farmers. Hinh creates conditions for nearly 50 people in the commune, mainly those with difficult economic conditions to do their workshops, with a salary of 5-7 million dong a month. In addition, Hinh is also actively involved in local charity work, contributing to the development of Study Encouragement Fund, the Gratitude Fund ...
In particular, Director Hinh is currently the investor, construction of Hoa Hau Kindergarten school, with a total construction cost of about VND 40 billion. This is also one of the areas of forte, because Hinh used to work in the construction field and was evaluated as a capable, experienced and highly technical professional. In addition to investing in developing textile production factory, Hinh wishes to have many opportunities, which are facilitated by local branches and levels in terms of loans and construction of infrastructure construction projects in the province. , to hope to contribute more to your homeland
