Putian / 莆田

Putian / 莆田 appears in EP255 厂二代的“继承之战”：年轻人接班会重塑企业吗？ as the 福建 footwear-manufacturing setting for 沃特鞋企. 魏茜 uses the place to explain why a successor can grow up physically close to a factory yet still not understand how a shoe is produced until formally entering the business.

The episode treats Putian less as a tourist or city-profile subject than as an industrial cluster with family, gender, and brand-cycle consequences. Its shoe industry context makes Manufacturing Sales Shift / 制造业销售重心转移 concrete: firms that once lived from production and OEM work now face brand, e-commerce, design, inventory, and consumer-attention pressures.
