At present, Clipper, headquartered in Los Angeles and Atlanta, has only 40 employees, but its annual turnover has exceeded $30 million.
Bianca Wu, founder and CEO, said that although they are not the market leader of American uniform manufacturing industry, they are well-known design, R&D and comprehensive service companies, and can only undertake dozens of uniform orders for large-scale fast food, catering and retail industries.
Although the entrepreneurial process is closely related to mainstream American fast food, Bianca Wu said that when she immigrated to the United States, she even wanted to work in a restaurant and wash dishes, but she was turned away. Later, she was inspired to sell restaurant supplies to restaurants.
Lin Hu used to work in Ningxia, China. Later, she put down her iron rice bowl and went to Hainan Island to find a job as a secretary of a trading company. 1992 after broadening my horizons, I decided to brave the United States with my savings of $2,000, build my dream of pursuing a better life, start my own business and travel around the world.
After entering the United States, Bianca Wu settled in the northeastern state of New Hampshire. He wanted to find a job in a restaurant to make a living, but because his English was not good enough, he was always rejected, so he moved from Boston to Los Angeles. Bianca Wu realized that if he wants to take root in the United States, he must break through the language barrier, so he took an ESL course at Pasadena Community College in the morning, answered the phone at his friend's company during the day, and went back to Pasadena Community College at night to continue his English study.
During the work-study program, Bianca Wu often visited trade fairs during holidays and found that most uniforms of American restaurants or enterprises were made by South American manufacturers. She thought that China's production equipment, manpower, technology and efficiency must be better than those of South American manufacturers, so in 1994, she came up with the entrepreneurial idea of unified contracting.
Bianca Wu said that although she started her business in 1994, she still couldn't get the order and had to work in a friend's company. After countless enterprises refused and refused, she never refused her entrepreneurial dream. She thinks that as long as she lets go, 100% will definitely fail, and there is a 50% chance of success if she doesn't give up.
1996, the road to entrepreneurship full of thorns has been greatly reversed. Bianca Wu received the first order in her life, which was a $250,000 uniform order from Burger King. Timely and satisfactory delivery not only earned her the first bucket of gold of nearly $654.38 million, but also made Clipper the first shot in the industry.
Bianca Wu believes that not giving up easily is the key to her success. The success of my own Clipper is attributed to the on-time delivery and quality promised to customers.
Since all customers are well-known multinational companies, Kleber has made international arrangements with customers and has more than 35 production partner factories around the world. Lin Hu spent most of the year inspecting the business in South America, China and Southeast Asia, in order to integrate the most competitive production quality and price and serve these large multinational companies that have cooperated for more than ten years. Bianca Wu revealed that the clipper was the first cargo ship to transport Asian goods to the United States on time in the 9th century, and she hoped to finish it? Clippers? As the name implies, all commitments and missions to customers will always be realized on time.
