Zhejiang Shoemaking Enterprises Have Not Yet Passed The Cold Winter.

As in previous years, Zhejiang was extremely hot in August, but for most small and medium enterprises, the "severe winter" is still continuing.

Since the end of 2007, there has been a continuous wave of "collapse tide" in enterprises. Enterprises in Guangdong, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have been staged due to the sudden closure of business operations.

"This year, I am afraid, is the most difficult year for China's economy."

At the beginning of the "two sessions", Premier Wen Jiabao said frankly.

As a large province of private enterprises, under the pressure of a series of pressures, many small and medium enterprises in Zhejiang are facing unprecedented development bottlenecks.

At present, the fallen enterprises are very painful, and the enterprises that are still insisting must bear greater pain.

Is it the natural law of survival of the fittest or the "environmental pollution" caused by domestic and foreign factors?

When they are at stake, can they survive the disaster?

The small and medium-sized enterprises who have fallen down and persist still need an answer.

What's the matter with Qiu Jibao? Since summer, this name has been repeated again and again.

No one could have foreseen that the situation that first fell into the crisis of the capital chain would take place in the famous "sewing machine" King leap Group.

From January 2008 to April, this company was once ranked the "Chinese manufacturing enterprise" private enterprise.

The top 50 private enterprises, which are affected by the US subprime crisis, the shrinkage of China's textile industry and exports, have greatly reduced overseas orders. The total export volume is only $18 million 480 thousand, a 44% drop from last year.

At the same time, the leap is also deeply in the crisis of the capital chain.

With the tightening of money and sluggish business, 1 billion 800 million of the loans owed to the bank are incapable of repayment.

Because it is difficult to obtain new loans, and then began to turn to private credit to find working capital, a related person disclosed that the funds borrowed by enterprises in Ningbo were up to hundreds of millions of yuan.

Subsequently, because of the inability to repay the interest of private borrowers, the borrowers were forced to ask for help from the local government.

Here, in the face of "why not others fall" doubts, helpless Qiu Jibao had to admit, "there are reasons for the enterprise's own management".

The fact is that, after years of development, the management has never introduced professional managers or external management personnel, and this family management has not played its advantages in many family businesses.

A typical example is that a spare part of the sewing machine factory, which does not allow the purchase of 7 yuan, will go into the market at a high price of 22 yuan.

In order to expand the international market, the bigger the "stalls" overseas, the higher the cost crisis.

In recent years, enterprises have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the formation of overseas companies, and have set up 18 branches in the United States, Miami, Losangeles and Europe. Because Qiu Jibao has always emphasized the localization of talents, the recruitment of local employees is the main factor, which has resulted in a significant increase in human cost.

Accompanied by the continuous expansion of the past few years, joint-stock commercial banks have provided generous blood pfusion for enterprises.

In fact, most joint-stock commercial banks do not have branches in Taizhou, and little is known about the real operation of the leap.

Once a bank has made a leap in lending, other banks will follow suit. In the end, it is faster than anyone who escapes.

How to save the leap?

In the past few months, this is a difficult question discussed by the local government.

However, Qiu Jibao and leaps are lucky. Their hope of rebirth can be tied to the help of the local government. However, the fate of the more difficult enterprises is still inevitable.

Predicament

"The one or two day of payment is not terrible. The key is to lose the ability to pay and turn it into a bad account."

Chen Jinlin is the head of an electronics company in Hangzhou. Speaking of recent developments, the boss, who has been doing relay business for more than ten years, complains repeatedly. "Since the first half of this year, the payments of several US customers have been dragging on, and now even people can't get in touch with them."

Chen Jinlin's company is not large in the West and the foot of Hangzhou, but its sales have been good.

In his impression, the phenomenon of arrears of payment occurred occasionally in the past, but never as fierce as last year and this year.

"Tightening money has tightened the chain of enterprise funds, raised the financial cost of enterprises, continuously increased the prices of raw materials, increased the RMB appreciation and increased the operating costs of enterprises. In addition to the subprime crisis, we have been afraid to take orders, especially the list of American businessmen."

Just as Chen Jinlin was struggling to pay for the goods, the China Export and Credit Insurance Corp Zhejiang branch also received reports from several foreign trade enterprises in the province, including two mechanical and electrical enterprises in Taizhou, which had a total of $3 million 150 thousand in export receivables.

According to the statistics of China Export and Credit Insurance Corp Zhejiang branch, the number of reported losses reached 112 in the first quarter, involving an amount of US $22 million, an increase of more than two times over the same period last year.

Among them, 4 cases of large losses reported over US $1 million amounted to 8 million 950 thousand US dollars, compared with 1 reported in the same period last year.

This is the first time since the establishment of China credit insurance Zhejiang branch in 2002, the sudden increase in reported cases has occurred.

What is more noteworthy is that in the first 2 months of this year, Zhejiang fell 4 billion 530 million against the US $4 billion 530 million in imports and exports in the first two months of this year, the first decline in 11 years after Zhejiang's 3.5% decline in foreign trade in the United States in the first 4 billion 530 million months of this year.

Chen Ye has already felt the impact of the US subprime mortgage crisis.

"The monthly salary card is obviously less than that of last year."

As an ordinary salesperson of Hangzhou Zhongyi economic and Trade Co., Ltd., the export volume of her company has been ranked the top 5 among Hangzhou counterparts. However, "the situation of export now is much worse than before."

In the private economy developed Wenzhou, the most intuitive and shocking performance of SMEs is widespread stoppage, half stoppage and bankruptcy.

"The situation is becoming more serious now, and the plight of SMEs in Wenzhou is intensifying."

Jiang Zengyao, director of Wenzhou economic and Trade Commission, said in an interview.

In July 16th, Wenzhou economic and Trade Commission released the latest survey report.

The report, which is called "the pressure of small and medium enterprises with low industrial production continues to be low -- the analysis of industrial economy in the first half of the year" shows that according to the survey conducted by the Wenzhou economic and Trade Commission in the early July, 15521 small and medium-sized enterprises in 31 industrial strong towns and development zones of the whole city found that the number of enterprises stopping or semi shutting down was 1009, accounting for 6.5% of the number of enterprises surveyed, and the number of bankrupt enterprises reached 250, accounting for 1.6%.

The total number of enterprises stoppage, half stoppage and closure was 1259, accounting for 8.1% of the total survey, compared with 6.3% in January to April, and in less than 3 months, it has increased by 2.1%.

Many industry associations and small and medium business owners still believe that this official figure is "too conservative".

The news from Wenzhou shoe leather industry association shows that only 2600 footwear enterprises are in a state of survival.

In 2005, the media reported that there were nearly 4000 shoe companies in Wenzhou and about 400000 employees.

"20% of the 300 thousand SMEs in Wenzhou stopped and half stopped."

Zhou Dewen, President of Wenzhou SME Development Association, said.

The industrial output value of enterprises is also not optimistic.

Statistics show that in the first half of this year, 24 industries in Wenzhou's 33 industrial sectors tend to receded, while shoe leather, chemical fiber, beverage and other industries appeared negative growth in June.

"Throughout the first half of the year, Wenzhou's industry, especially the labor-intensive light industry dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, has been in a doldrums, so far there has been no steady trend."

Jiang Zengyao said.

And in Keqiao, Shaoxing, which is famous for its textile, many small and medium-sized enterprises are facing an unprecedented test.

"We intend to hold that by the end of September, the situation is no longer better, and we must consider closing down."

Yang Min and he said.

Since the beginning of this year, Yang Min Ho has received 3 orders for textile foreign trade, with a total value of only $10 thousand, a decrease of 85% compared with the same period last year.

"RMB is broken by seven, money is tight and costs are increasing.

How to do this business? "

Sitting in a simple office, Yang Min and his face were helpless and confused.

50 Yang Min and Shaoxing, one of tens of thousands of textile enterprises, have been doing textile export business for more than 10 years.

Shaoxing Keqiao is the location of China Textile City and one of the largest textile industry bases in China. The Keqiao textile index of China has long been the weathervane data for the development of the textile industry.

Zhejiang's textile industry is one of the most important contributor to foreign trade in 60% of Shaoxing.

Now, in the Keqiao business district, large and small textile companies and shops are row upon row, but most of them are left behind.

"Chatting with others, finding that there is a lot of people in a single business, and the export situation has never been so bad.

Now it looks calm, but the great changes brewing under the deep water will soon appear. "

Yang Min he said.

What he called "great changes" is the arrival of a comprehensive reshuffle of textile enterprises.

Since the beginning of this year, a number of enterprises that originally made textile foreign trade in Keqiao have begun to switch to the manufacture of lamps and lanterns, and even other fields such as mobile phone manufacturing.

"The number of textile foreign trade enterprises based on Shaoxing will be eliminated by about 10% this year."

An industry insider said.

The epitome of Shaoxing is being answered everywhere in Zhejiang.

According to China's Keqiao textile index and China Yiwu small commodity index and other important light industry index, affected by the export trade situation, the foreign trade prosperity of various trades is in a straight line.

According to the statistics of the national development and Reform Commission, the export value of textile industry in the first quarter of this year was 162 billion 600 million yuan, an increase of 11.1%, but the growth rate dropped by 4.8 percentage points compared with that of the previous year, and the profit of the chemical fiber industry even started to appear negative year-on-year growth.

In addition, the export growth of the whole light industry has generally come down.

"This year, the internal and external environment facing economic operation is particularly complex, and there are many unfavorable factors."

On July 22nd, in the first half of July 22nd, the briefing on the economic situation was held in Hangzhou, Wang Chieh, deputy director of the Bureau of statistics.

However, "the output value has dropped sharply, the efficiency has been greatly reduced, the export situation is grim, the growth rate has fallen to a low level, and the general shortage of funds and the unsustainable operation" are the three major predicaments facing them.
