Led by the team leader and veteran employees, it is not difficult to get started. Ma Zhan said that he used to work in an electronics factory in Hangzhou, but now that his children go back to his hometown to go to primary school, he doesn't want to go out of the province to work, and he is close to home, which is convenient for taking care of his children.

"This track is relatively niche, but with the popularization of ice and snow sports, companies will face more competition in the future, so they must prepare early. He said that in order to cope with the peak order season, another batch of workers will be recruited soon.
