在应邀参加’９９温州国际鞋文化节的空隙，中国皮革工业协会理事长徐永接受了本刊记者的采访。徐永就温州何以能成为“中国鞋都”，谈了几点看法。徐永认为，温州有“鞋都”的美誉，首先归功于有优势的企业群体。“‘都’有汇聚的意思，单枪匹马成不了‘都’。”徐永风趣地说 In the invitation to participate in the gap of ’99 Wenzhou International Shoes Culture Festival, Xu Yong, Chairman of China Leather Industry Association, accepted an interview with this reporter. Xu Yong on how can Wenzhou become “Chinese shoes capital”, talked about several points. Xu Yong believes that Wenzhou has a reputation as a “shoes capital”, first of all thanks to the advantages of the enterprise groups. “The ‘does’ have the meaning of aggregating and it’s impossible for a single horse to become a ‘must’.” Xu Yong said humorously.
