A few days ago, the pate clothing trade company launched a high salary advertisement to recruit an outdoor sportswear designer. Mr. Xu, general manager of the company, told reporters that the company has always been doing business in garment foreign trade, mainly undertaking cotton and casual wear. However, in recent years, because of the popularity of outdoor leisure mode, and simply "you order me to order" foreign trade is becoming more and more difficult to do, often under the control of others, and the initiative is in the hands of foreign merchants. Therefore, through investigation and analysis, the company decided to set up outdoor leisure research and development department, focusing on the research and development of outdoor casual wear.
