Yangtze River Delta Footwear Enterprises "Thin"

Shanghai electric (Group) company expects to divest 282 enterprises, China Shaoxing yellow wine group, spin off spandex business, East China technology pfer to East lighting and other equity this year, and dozens of state-owned enterprises in Shanghai have been clearly defined the main business scope.

The Yangtze River Delta region has seen the "downsizing tide" of enterprises.

Enterprise "thin"

Recently, many Yangtze River Delta enterprises have been tacitly reducing their weight.

Shanghai electric (Group) head office has reduced from hundreds of industries and about 200000 employees to 82 industries and 115 thousand employees.

Huang Dinan, President of the group, said that since 2004, the group has divestied 100 enterprises every year.

This year, the intensity is even greater. It is expected that 282 enterprises will be stripped, and enterprises other than the main business will account for more than 90%.

Like Shanghai electric, the Yangtze River Delta enterprises, which are "slimming", are few.

"In 2004, the Red Dragonfly Group website introduced:" a national regional group with diversified investment in professional footwear, education, finance and so on. "

Now, websites are hard to find "education" and "finance" two words.

Zhejiang Red Dragonfly Group staff told reporters this.

Enterprises in Jiangsu are also trying to eliminate inefficient projects.

In July last year, Huadong technology pferred 29.9% of its flying east lighting shares to PHILPS, a major shareholder of Feidong lighting.

It is worth noting that the Yangtze River Delta enterprises "slimming camp" there is no shortage of "big players".

Shanghai SASAC staff said that the main business scope of the large state-owned enterprise groups such as Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, Shanghai Huayi Company and Jinjiang International Limited company has been announced this year.

Shortening the front line and returning to main business

What causes the enterprises in Yangtze River Delta to lose weight?

Huang Di Nan explained that the "downsizing" of enterprises is not only related to the macro economy, but also the needs of their own development.

After Shanghai electric (Group) head office "downsizing", the results are beginning to show.

Since 2004, sales revenue has increased to more than 10 billion yuan a year, and the sales volume of main business has exceeded 50 billion yuan in 2007.

In addition, a number of industries with core competitiveness emerged. The output of group power generation equipment has been four in the world for the first time in a row. The output of elevator has been the first in China for more than ten years, and the market share of air conditioner compressor is third in the world.

"If your fist comes back, you'll have to fight harder."

Qian Jinbo, chairman of Zhejiang Red Dragonfly Group, also gave reasons for this.

In view of the diversified road before, Jin Bo admitted that the group hoped to seize the new opportunities to try in education, banking, real estate development and other industries.

It seems to be feasible to make money from other industries to invest in the main business, but it will be distracted after diversification. As far as red dragonfly group is concerned, it is impossible for them to do well at the same time, so they must return to their main business.

Professor Ning Xiangdong, deputy director of the China Economic Research Center of Tsinghua University, believes that many enterprises are currently choosing to "lose weight". On the one hand, the international economic trend and the domestic macroeconomic regulation and control play a catalytic role. On the other hand, they are also a need for their own development.

Now is the era of globalization, and the Chinese market is also more competitive. Enterprises are going to diversify. It is hard to ensure that every industry is doing well.

"Thin body" to "severe winter"

It is understood that in the first half of this year, more than 6 SMEs have gone bankrupt.

In the broader international context, the financial crisis in Wall Street has also begun to affect the real economy.

In such a macroeconomic situation, enterprises in order to better survive, in the "downsizing" at the same time is to strengthen the "fitness".

"Now, we will focus on developing core industries and key industries such as power stations, power pmission and distribution, heavy industries and elevators, and actively cultivate new industries such as new energy."

Huang Dinan said that last year, Shanghai electric (Group) Corporation invested 5 billion 30 million yuan in its main business.

In the field of wind power, this year invested 220 million yuan, and it is expected that there will be leapfrog improvement next year.

Red Dragonfly Group has focused on its main business in recent years. Since 2007, red dragonfly has invested 200 million yuan to build sports shoes R & D base.

Beginning in March this year, red dragonfly group began to use nontoxic water-based rubber shoes in Yongjia shoe industry, Shanghai footwear industry, Chongqing shoe industry, Guangdong footwear industry and other production bases.

In 2007, Red Dragonfly Group sales amounted to about 2 billion 500 million yuan, an increase of more than 20% over the same period, with a profit margin of 10%.

"At present, the Yangtze River Delta enterprises are" thin body strong winter. "

Ning Xiangdong believes that this wave will emerge across the country.
