Zippers Shop: Customers Make Big Difference.

There is an obscure facade on the North Road in Jiangxi, an outdated aluminum door frame, gray glass, which looks like nobody cares. In winter, customers often go to the door. When there are more people, the team will be outside the door. This is the new Shen zipper maintenance department. Customers who often come to visit will say that this is a regular zipper location. Shanghai There are not many places like this.

New Shen zipper The maintenance department is located at the junction of Wujin Road, North Jiangxi road. Recently, there are many people who have zippers. The two passers-by asked puzzled, "what is this doing?" "zipper." "Is it free?" "it's not free." "No long queues for free?" the awaiting aunt said, "this is the state-run old brand. The master is good at craft and fair in charge." A middle-aged man next to me said, "I went to the central shopping mall to repair the zippers. They said they couldn't fix it. They recommended me to come here." Another queue of customers interposed, "here is the year, I live nearby, often come over."

There was only one person who was busy outside the counter. She took over a piece of clothing, skillfully took out the appropriate tools, or dismantled or cut it, and then took a small plier to clamp the metal fittings on the side of the lock, and it was finished with a simple repair. "Three yuan!" she handed the change in the box, and immediately picked up another dress handed by another person. There are some complicated machines that need to be repaired.

Master surname Zhang, she said he was assigned to zipper factory in Shanghai when he was young, and he had done many kinds of work. In the early 80s, the zipper factory opened the maintenance department, and she came over to be a maintenance master. These people have changed two batches, and now she is alone. She has already passed the retirement age.

"There are three floors, the original zipper factory in Shanghai, and the zipper maintenance department opened in 80s of last century. It's a good business now, but in the past three months, there's business, and no one comes in the summer. I repair the zipper by myself, and look at the house by the way. No one has done this in the future. Master Zhang said.

Shanghai zipper factory is one of two state-run zipper factories in Shanghai in the age of planned economy. In the 90s of last century, the factory was transformed into Xinshen zipper Co., Ltd. The reporter learned from a person in charge of the sales department that the repair shop was set up at the beginning of the zipper factory's after-sale service window, and some other zipper production orders were also picked up. Later, without order, the maintenance zipper became the main business here.

The repairable zipper is too seasonal. People wear thin clothes in summer. No one comes to repair it, so there are only a few retired workers left. "After this winter, I don't know whether the maintenance department will continue. You can't afford to repair the master's salary by repairing the zipper. " The person in charge told reporters.
