I got involvedin every part of theproduction processand got familiarwith nuts and boltsabout this industry:from design to cutout, from the choiceof material to thepackage of finalproduct, from everysingle stitch to theoverall decoration.I really have anintimate knowledgeof garment making,especially trousersmaking.
Then I devotedanother ten years tooperating a garmentcompany, I alreadygrasped the recipe of how to shape upand run a business well: from pre-marketresearch to strategic adjustment in actualsituation, from service system to powerfulmarket network. Those are precious wealthto an entrepreneur.
