"Pessimistic news always seems to be related to Dongguan.

Is it the truth or alarmist?

Our reporter went deep into the field and visited many places, only to tell you a real Dongguan.

　　生產總值增長119.8倍，城市居民人均可支配收入增長84倍，農民人均純收入增長76.9倍……30年來，東莞靠“三來一補”和加工貿易寫就傳奇，從一個落后貧瘠的農業縣一躍成為全球知名的制造業基地。但發端于華爾街的金融危機，開始向實體經濟蔓延，東莞首當其沖。2008年，東莞經濟遭遇前所未有的嚴峻考驗。

Near the end of the year, the reporter came to Dongguan again, and there were fewer and fewer businessmen in the five star hotels.

But in sharp contrast, there are still many enterprises in the industrial area, machines are running fast, workers are busy working, trucks pulling raw materials and products are coming in and out of the gate.

They persisted in the economic cold winter and persisted in their quest for new life, like the green grass and the Bauhinia standing on the side of Dongguan Avenue against the cold wind.

"The current situation is extremely grim, and it will be more difficult next year. But with the profound foundation laid down by the 30 years of reform and opening up, Dongguan is confident that it will survive this crisis. Moreover, Dongguan must take the crisis as a good opportunity for industrial pformation and upgrading, rather slow down and adjust its structure."

Liu Zhigeng, Secretary of the Dongguan Municipal Committee, said this with a firm expression on his face.

　　被放大了的“倒閉潮”——

　　企業起起落落很正常。近10年來，東莞每年倒閉的企業大約800家，今年有所增加。與此同時，1—10月新注冊企業14889戶.“韋旭鞋廠工資發放工作截至今日下午5時結束……下午5時后，將對韋旭鞋廠清場封存，請全體員工在此之前攜帶自己的全部物品離廠。”在已經倒閉的韋旭鞋廠緊閉的廠門口，一份公告和一張東莞市法院長安法庭的封條，引來路人駐足觀看。

It is one of the bankrupt enterprises in Dongguan this year.

According to the figures provided by Dongguan, from 1 to November, 786 enterprises in the city were closed down and pferred, and nearly 900 enterprises were expected to close in the whole year, accounting for 6% of the total number of local enterprises.

"The spread of the international financial crisis is a great challenge for Dongguan, which has a high degree of dependence on foreign trade."

Lai Shujia, Deputy Commissioner of customs and Excise Department of Whampoa, said that the statistics of Dongguan Association of foreign invested enterprises showed that the customer orders in the fourth quarter of this year decreased by about 15% - 20%.

"But this is just a shortage of business and not a rumor of" collapse. "

Jiang Ling, vice mayor of Dongguan, said that over the past 10 years, there were about 800 enterprises that failed normally or unusually in Dongguan in recent years, accounting for about 4% of the total number of local enterprises.

GDP is expected to grow by 14% this year, which is not low in Dongguan.

"The key is that in the context of the financial crisis, business failures have been amplified by some rumors."

Jiang Ling believes that some reports are not comprehensive enough.

"In fact, in the context of the financial crisis, enterprises that accelerate the closure are basically small, low grade and weak competitive enterprises.

The failure of these enterprises has not had a great impact on the industry as a whole, and the industry in Dongguan has not been injured in general.

According to statistics, in the closed enterprises, 70% of investment is below 1 million dollars, and 90% is below 300 people.

It is noteworthy that, according to statistics from the industry and Commerce Department, during the collapse of a large number of enterprises, there were 14889 new registered enterprises in Dongguan from 1 to October, and many enterprises increased their capital output. As reporters heard locally, "ups and downs are normal."

In the same period, Dongguan also introduced about 2000000000 US dollars of foreign capital.

In the Zhangmutou town, which had solved the problem of Jun Jun's failure and arrears of wages, the famed noodle noodle noodle was invested for 20 million dollars in the first place. Jimei Cosmetics Co., Ltd. increased its investment of HK $50 million by the end of last year on the basis of HK $30 million.

Xu Hongfei, deputy mayor of Zhangmutou town, told reporters that the town's utilization of foreign capital has reached US $52 million this year.

Unemployment tide

　　今年提前返鄉的農民工確實增多，但當地對勞動力還有相當需求。11月，累計進入勞動力市場招聘的企業1998家，提供崗位達1.63萬個.出口訂單減少，部分企業關閉或減產，最直接的影響就是就業。一些企業鼓勵員工休假、減少加班，通過這些瘦身計劃來壓縮成本；另一些企業的員工看到收入大大減少，干脆辭職提前返鄉。

At 8 o'clock in the morning of December 15th, a lot of people waiting for surrender were surrounded at the entrance of the Social Security Bureau of Dongcheng in Dongguan.

The wester brothers from Liuzhou, Guangxi, told reporters that they worked for more than 3 years at the victory electronics factory in Dongcheng District, and the highest salary was 1700 yuan / month. But in November, they only worked for half a month, with a salary of more than 600 yuan.

"Under such circumstances, we can only resign to go home, and how much social security can be refunded, so that we can come back next year."

　　據東莞市社保局公布的數據，今年前10個月，東莞全市退保人數累計63.1萬，且從10月底起退保人數尚在進一步攀升。“退保高潮往年一般在春節前一個月，而今年則提早了近兩個月。”東莞市社保局介紹，根據目前情況，退保者以離莞回家的人占大多數。“今年春節前一個月，提前回鄉員工確實增加得比較多，但還稱不上是‘返鄉潮’。”東莞市有關部門負責人認為，雖然不少企業關閉，但相當部分員工就地消化。

"According to the monitoring, although the demand for labor in the market has weakened, the enterprises still have considerable demand for labor, especially in newly invested or capital increasing enterprises, and often a business is closed, and many workers are immediately recruited by other enterprises."

The labor market monitoring results of Dongguan labor department on Changan, Houjie, Fenggang, Tangxia and other towns showed that four towns were recruited more than 6900 enterprises in 9, 10 and 10 months, providing recruitment posts for 47 thousand. In November, the key monitoring scope was extended to 7 towns.

　　“這個冬天不太冷”——

　　明年形勢十分嚴峻，但社會經濟的基本面沒有變。中央及地方政府扶持政策密集出臺，也讓企業家們堅定了“過冬”的信心.賴樹佳告訴記者，12月以來，東莞進口與去年同比減少了32%，對于兩頭在外、大進大出的東莞來說，預示著明年2月出口上會有一個比較大的負增長。“明年是異常嚴峻的一年，是改革開放以來最嚴重的！”這是政府和企業界共同的看法。

Recently, Dongguan conducted a questionnaire survey of 9000 enterprises, including 300 enterprises with the highest volume of exports. Most of the enterprises said they were not optimistic.

However, it is generally accepted that the situation is expected to improve in the next few months and in the second half of next year.

Many enterprises who are determined to stay in Dongguan have expressed their confidence to the reporters. First, the capital advantage. After so many years of rapid development, Dongguan has accumulated strong economic strength. Taking financial institutions as an example, the banking sector in Dongguan has more than 400 billion yuan in deposits, and only 200 billion yuan is borrowed. The loan to deposit ratio is very low. Secondly, the industry supporting advantages, a company, its supporting raw materials, generally within 1 hours or half an hour logistics circle, such low logistics costs are incomparable to other regions; thirdly, the product advantage, Dongguan's main products are basic commodities such as daily necessities, rather than high-end consumer goods, and the market demand is more rigid.

Therefore, although the financial crisis has not yet seen the global impact, the impact of Dongguan can be foreseen.

It is also the positive support of the government that gives entrepreneurs confidence.

Earlier, Leng Xiaoming, who felt the cold current, foresaw and made quick preparations, said that since the end of September, Dongguan has done a lot of work, organizing cadres to enter the enterprise propaganda, strengthening communication and boosting confidence. In order to ease the financing difficulties of enterprises, it has leveraged 25 billion yuan loans with 1 billion yuan risk compensation, about 11000000000 yuan has been released in 10, 11 and two months, two times reduced three kinds of expenses, and reduced the burden of 1 billion yuan for enterprises. In the next two years, Dongguan has also planned five categories of projects, with an investment amounting to 140 billion yuan, creating more business opportunities for enterprises. The investment in Dongguan has been increased by 10 yuan.

In the past two months, the central government's policy of increasing the export tax rebate rate of some products has begun to appear, and it has also made entrepreneurs confident in "winter".

Of course, confidence also comes from the rapid development of Dongguan's domestic market.

According to statistics, from 1 to October this year, local foreign-funded enterprises sold as high as 140 billion yuan, an increase of 23.9% over the same period last year.

　　金融危機給我們上了一課——

　　既要保增長，更要調結構。危機之下，政府和企業在推動產業結構調整時，更容易達成共識。金融危機給東莞帶來經濟困難，恰逢其推動產業轉型升級的關鍵時期。

　　近年來，東莞開始在廣東省的戰略部署下推動產業轉型升級，劉志庚提出四個“忍得住”：一要忍得住暫時的陣痛，二要忍得住暫時速度的放緩，三要忍得住暫時收入的減少，四還要忍得住社會的非議。如今，全球金融海嘯突如其來，許多人擔憂，在經濟衰退的巨大壓力下，東莞還能否“忍得住”，堅持推動產業轉型升級。

Expert analysis shows that it is easier for governments and enterprises to reach a consensus when promoting industrial restructuring.

Before the environment was good, enterprises did not have the power to adjust the industry; the crisis gave many enterprises an intuitive lesson: why is it so affected?

Because your industrial structure is single and extroverted dependence is too high; the export market is too limited to be confined to Europe and America because you have no self.
