Shandong Hailong Plans To Invest 594 Million Yuan To Develop Real Estate Projects

The market price of the products produced by our company has gone up all the way, even hitting a record high. However, the company's executives are not happy, and they worry all the time: insufficient staff. "The situation on the production line is not optimistic. There are no workers in the downstream, and the construction is insufficient." An executive of a chemical fiber listed company told reporters

The price of viscose staple fiber produced by this chemical fiber company has now risen to 22800 yuan/ton, prompting researchers from the fund company to come to investigate one after another. However, the words of the executives poured cold water on these researchers. A fund researcher who came to investigate said with a bitter smile: "In recent years, what has been written most is that the company's orders are insufficient and the production line is idling. It is not easy to find an industry that is booming, but there is also a shortage of migrant workers. The production line still cannot be turned, which is really a little helpless."

Market wealth is pressing

"Viscose staple fiber" is now worth much more than the market expectation. After the Spring Festival, the domestic viscose market continued to rise, and major viscose staple fiber enterprises have raised their prices one after another. Many enterprises have raised their prices to more than 20000 yuan/ton, and the inventory of viscose enterprises is also in short supply. A new round of rising viscose staple fiber market is ready to move.

"Now every ton has risen to 22800 yuan." Yesterday, the executives of the chemical fiber company reported an instant price, "What is this concept? You know, it was only 17000 yuan at the beginning of the year." Why is "viscose staple fiber" so popular? "This is related to the increase in cotton prices." The executive explained: "Viscose staple fiber is a substitute for cotton. In short, cotton prices are too high, and many garment enterprises buy a large number of environmentally friendly viscose staple fiber."

The market demand is strong, and the product price is rising, which benefits many chemical fiber enterprises. For example, Aoyang Technology (002172) not only turned losses in 2009, but also increased its net profit in the third quarter of 2009 by 20 million yuan compared with the previous announcement. On February 26, 2010, the company announced that it is expected that the accumulated net profit of 2009 will be 260 million yuan, with earnings per share of 0.46 yuan, which is equivalent to earning 0.32 yuan per share in the fourth quarter.

Shandong Hailong, the leader of the industry, announced on October 20, 2009 that it expected the cumulative net profit for 2009 to be 120 million yuan, with an earnings per share of 0.14 yuan. However, from the price of viscose fiber in the fourth quarter of 2009, the net profit should be much more than this.

God's way is higher than man's.

With the price rising and the market demand booming, these chemical fiber enterprises have straightened up and raised prices in line with the trend. Shandong Hailong yesterday adjusted the price of viscose staple fiber to 300 yuan/ton, while Jiangsu Sanyou adjusted the price of one type of staple fiber to 20700 yuan/ton, up 200 yuan/ton. At the same time, these executives are also very handy in controlling production.

"We will not blindly produce," the senior manager of the chemical fiber company told reporters, "because viscose staple fiber is extracted from cotton staple, a by-product of cotton. This cotton staple is our raw material, and the price is rising. The middlemen began to stock up. The price of raw materials is high, and the production cost of enterprises is also rising. Therefore, we have to control the cost in production."

However, when the viscose staple fiber reaches zero inventory, no one is willing to care about the high cost and loss of sales market. "Market orders have been received in April this year, and it is impossible not to start construction," said the executive. However, to his great surprise, when he was preparing to start work after the Spring Festival, there were suddenly fewer migrant workers.

"Our human resources found the reason for the shortage of migrant workers only after we learned about the market around. These migrant workers work in other places with high costs, and their actual income is almost the same as that in the place where they are located. Since this year, many migrant workers have been working in the local area without going out." The senior manager confessed.

Improving treatment becomes a top priority

If no one can be recruited, the salary will be raised. "We are also willing to increase our salaries, but there is a limit to how much we can afford to increase our salaries," said the executive. According to the public data of his chemical fiber listed company, there are 2280 production personnel and less than 200 other staff. In 2008, the payroll payable was 14150640.61 yuan, and the basic salary of workers was 5000 yuan a year.

"This is just the salary, plus bonus, the workers generally get about 20000 yuan a year," said the executive. "Now, we are willing to give workers 200 yuan a month, but it is still difficult to recruit people." Of course, the situation in factories around the country is not the same. The chemical fiber company currently has factories in southern and northern Jiangsu, and has a production capacity of 60000 tons of short fiber in Dafeng. "There are migrant workers in Liuhe, Dafeng and other places, and it is difficult to recruit people in other places," said the executives.

"This is indeed the case. We are lucky that the factories are mainly in Xinjiang and northern Jiangsu," the head of Aoyang Technology Securities told reporters: "If it is in southern Jiangsu, it is also difficult." However, the head of the securities also pointed out that, "It has become the consensus of enterprises to give better treatment to workers. Many enterprises in Jiangyin also have migrant workers who do not return home every year. Therefore, only by solving the problem of food and housing for migrant workers can we better retain migrant workers."

"Most of the second generation migrant workers are highly educated, and professional recruitment will be the main channel of recruitment in the future." A researcher from Guotai Jun'an believes that "what is paid to these second generation migrant workers must not be the meager living expenses in the past."
