Success is to turn the impossible into possible

　　The Isar River valley in Munich, Germany, is a vast cotton-growing region. Cotton production here accounts for more than half of Germany's output, so the cotton industry is thriving in the region. The production of quilts, in particular, became the main source of income for the villagers.

　　Like many private owners, Austen also runs a small quilt processing factory in the area. But because the cotton products are very fluffy and space-consuming, so transportation and storage has become the most troubling problem: a large warehouse can only stack a few hundred quilts, a section of the wagon can only transport a few thousand quilts, and, due to the increasing cost of transportation, he is almost increasingly unprofitable. One day, Austen suddenly had an idea, if the quilts can be compressed to the smallest state, so that the maximum savings and use of space can not be achieved?

　　To do, he immediately began to solve the problem of storage and transportation of quilts. First, he tried the heavy pressure method, that is, in the process of quilt stacking, put on iron plates or stones every few quilts heavy pressure. However, this method is only suitable for the placement of items in the warehouse, and once transported, its weight is often more than tens of times that of the quilts. Later, he then tried to cross-bind the quilts with ropes, but the effect is still not obvious, where the rope is not bundled to the place, as usual, or fluffy. And the bundled quilt, the several deep binding marks, but also extremely affected its aesthetic and use effect.

　　One weekend, Austen to attend the celebration of a new business in the local, the entrance of a crowd of people, flags flying. To set the mood, the company rented a huge inflatable arch from Munich, which was a novelty in the area and attracted almost everyone's attention. As soon as the auspicious time passed, workers began to release the gas in the arch, a large arch, in a flash, actually by the workers skillfully folded up, loaded into a small backpack. At this point, Austen suddenly came to inspiration: why not find a way to pump off the excess air in the quilt? In this way, perhaps also can be loose and soft quilt into a small bag it?

　　So, he tried to quilt into a thick transparent bag, sealed, the quilt will be heavily pressed, and then pumped away the air inside, forming a vacuum. Sure enough, after this vacuum bag repackaging, the most effective space saving, but also greatly facilitate the storage and transportation of quilts. He can extract the air of this bag once launched, soon gained the favor of local cotton farmers, we have paid in advance to request a large number of reservations, the bag soon exceeded the demand. It can be said that the vacuum bag for him to dig the first bucket of gold in life.

　　Through research, he also found that the bag of air out of all, in a state of complete lack of oxygen, bacteria can hardly survive. Theoretically, this vacuum bag should also have a variety of effects such as freshness, moisture, mold, insects, corrosion, anti-pollution. Therefore, its function has not only limited to the storage and transportation of goods, more effective in extending the shelf life of products, freshness. He saw the business opportunity with a keen eye. Later, he sold his cotton field in time and started to fully develop the vacuum packaging machine.

　　In 1961, Austen successfully developed the world's first vacuum packaging machine. Due to its outstanding contribution in various fields such as food and transportation, the product was soon accepted by various industries once it was introduced, and in less than two years, his vacuum products had covered more than 60 countries and regions around the world. This company is the world-famous German Modivic vacuum packaging machine production plant.

　　Very often, if you stick to the rules, you will never be able to innovate. Only by thinking outside the box and creating demand where there is no demand, and by making the impossible possible, is this the real place of success.
