Money Back In The Pearl River Delta Shoe Business Will Face New Adjustment.

"This year's situation is not optimistic." During the Spring Festival, we talked about the business of this year. Management Liu Xiaoyu, general manager of Huahui electronics, is puzzled. As an enterprise manager, he tried every possible means to keep the workers behind, but on the one hand employment may be difficult. Order But they are weak.

Compared with traditional types foreign trade With the embarrassment of the foundry enterprises, some enterprises that have been upgraded by technology will fight for another world. After the Spring Festival, the manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta will usher in another period of dramatic change.

Order not to answer

In December last year, Liu Xiaoyu had to let half of his employees return home early, leaving only some workers to maintain their operation. The reason is also because of the shrinking overseas orders. "There were 5 bills that were approved in December, and the results were postponed until February this year." Liu Xiaoyu told reporters that when the market environment was good, the company's foreign trade list was "to the delivery", but now it can only be a "white strip" in one place.

This situation seems to happen not only on Huahui electronics, but also through the monitoring of 2000 foreign trade enterprises in Shenzhen, a Datong company found that in the past five months, the financial pressure of China's small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises continued to rise, reaching its peak in December 2011, and it is estimated that the financial pressure of foreign trade enterprises will be doubled in 2012. The direct cause of this situation is the prolonged payment cycle of overseas buyers due to the European debt crisis, and the shortage of funds from the mainland's foreign trade enterprises.

"Some of them don't dare to pick up. If we don't take care, the company will never survive." Liu Xiaoyu said, so that he felt so sorry for his fellow villager Chen Churong's sudden bankruptcy. Chen is the chairman of Dongguan Yuan Ye Garments Co. Ltd., and has been running a clothing brand named "stranger" in recent years. The brand was listed as a famous trademark in Guangdong in the early 2005. At its peak, the company had nearly 1000 employees and more than 400 franchisees.

But during the new year's day this year, the company suddenly issued a bankruptcy notice. All the executives were missing together, leaving about 30000000 yuan in debt. At the same time, the head of the company posted a notice of all employees in the name of the company, saying that Chen Churong had mortgaged all the private property and raised 8 million 500 thousand yuan from the bank for the two time. However, due to tight funds, failing to pay the processing fees and payment on time, dozens of factories and suppliers were suing. The letter also explained how the recent salary was paid, hoping to get employees' understanding.

"In those days, Chen Churong had boundless scenery." Recalling Liu Xiaoyu, a fellow countryman, was born in the field of Foundry Trade. In 2003, the company turned to wholesale and began to expand its financing. After the channel was blocked, in mid 2010, the company began to go back to pick up some foreign bills, but never thought that the money back would be delayed. "Some of the raw materials owed earlier, the suppliers took them to court. If it fails to catch up, it will go bankrupt. " Liu Xiaoyu told reporters. Dongguan textile Garment industry Chen Yaohua, President of the association, said that Dongguan enterprises are at its most dangerous time since 2008.

"So now there is no way for companies to do so. There is a list, but they dare not answer it." Liu Xiaoyu said, now the company is looking at the situation of return money to buy orders, for example, there are several funds back in the month, these funds are enough to supplement the cost of raw materials and other companies, this is the only way to take orders. Otherwise, you can only ask the client to sign the death agreement. Liu Xiaoyu said that such a consequence would be that the other side would push the price down very low and almost no profit margin.

According to a statistical data released by Foshan Nanhai inspection and Quarantine Bureau, up to the end of 2011, the proportion of enterprises that had not yet received orders in 2012 reached 37%.

And fear of labor shortage.

When the workers came home early to celebrate the lunar new year, Liu Xiaoyu began to worry about the employment problem after the holidays. "Ten thousand strokes cannot be done by hand, but it is impossible to get a list." He said. Labor shortage is coming up every year after the Spring Festival. For example, after the Spring Festival of 2011, the data of the Shenzhen Bureau of human resources and social security showed that the employment gap in Shenzhen was more than 20, and it was mainly structural shortage.

Workers are also panicky. Because last year, frequent "boss run" or the company suddenly collapsed, workers are also worried about their hard money nowhere to recover. Moreover, due to the shortage of orders in recent years, for piecework workers, it also means that workers' income has dropped significantly.

"After the festival, I heard that the base salary in Zhejiang is 3500 yuan a month, so let's take a chance there." In Huahui's dormitory building, Xiao Chen, a worker, told reporters that "some months work 3 hours a day, and some months work overtime to 12 o'clock every day." Obviously, Xiao Chen is not very satisfied with the remuneration of the company.

"Now many workers are asking for a raise in basic salary." Liu Xiaoyu also understood, "now can only promise to them, after the festival comes back the company to have the reward, if can bring the fellow townsman to return the extra prize." Looking at these eager young workers, he was also very helpless. "It used to be a part of the wages of workers, and then back to the festival; now we can only promise rewards, come back to cash." Liu Xiaoyu said.

According to a sample survey of employees in Dongguan's Human Resources Bureau, nearly 90% of employees who choose to return to the Spring Festival this year plan to return to work in Dongguan. This figure is slightly lower than last year's "90% or more". The investigation by the Provincial Department of human resources and social security shows that migrant workers returning to Guangdong will still return to work in the 95% quarter after returning home.

Cost has no advantage, technology must be upgraded.

"Whether toys, shoes or clothing industry, the advantages of China's manufacturing are all disappearing." A purchasing manager of Hongkong Lifeng group told reporters that Li Feng group was the first Chinese exporter of foreign trade in China, and then began to develop as a spannational trader, looking for the lowest price and best service products from the global level.

These people told reporters that from a few years ago, foreign purchasers did not only purchase goods from China, but gradually developed manufacturers in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Manufacturers in earlier stages or because of the lack of technology, or because of weak organizational management capabilities, the products produced can not be compared with "made in China". "So many years ago, many lists chose China." Those people said, but the cost of human resources and raw material procurement in those countries were indeed cheap. After several years of cultivation, production capacity of Kampuchea, Bangladesh and Philippines increased, and "more foreign countries began to put more countries in Southeast Asian countries".

The purchasing of Li Feng Group said that they supply WAL-MART stores and other stores in the United States, and make a dress in Bangladesh, the processing price can be controlled at 1.3 US dollars, and at least 2 dollars in the country. Last December, at the third (2011) world footwear development forum held in Houjie, Dongguan, the China Leather Association made a report on the development of the world footwear industry and the Chinese footwear industry in the next five years. The report shows that the cost of Chinese shoemaking labor is very competitive after India and Vietnam.

"I will definitely come after the festival." John Ching, an electronics worker of Dong Jun, vowed to declare it, because the boss promised them the train tickets before and after the Spring Festival. John Ching plans to take his brother to Dong Jun's electronics after the end of the year. His brother studied numerical control in his hometown's technical school. "The boss said that if my brother passed the technology, wages could be mentioned at 4000 yuan." John Ching told reporters that the best technology jobs in the factory can get eight thousand or nine thousand of the monthly salary. It is understood that Dong Jun electronics has developed a new data spanmission system through technological upgrading, which can be applied to many fields such as new toys, machinery manufacturing, and so on. This also makes the development of enterprises go up to a higher level. "Last year's sales increased by 50%," said Li Yi, sales manager of the company.

"Some fine toys do not compare with China in other countries." The procurement of the above group also indicates that China's manufacturing is superior to those of Southeast Asian countries in terms of technology.
