Zhejiang Style Intelligence, New Type Of Employment Mode, Frequent Occurrence Of Rivers And Lakes

For those in Yiwu Garment factory Boss Chen Yuze, he could not have imagined that the most painful thing to do for foreign supermarket orders is not lack of orders, but lack of workers.

Chen Yuze is the head of "Zhejiang Black Horse Industrial Co., Ltd." of Dachen Town, Yiwu. Recently, he was worried about the same thing, that is, "factories are too short for people". Originally thought that through the beginning of the labor shortage, slowly will ease up. Unexpectedly, by the middle of the year, the situation of missing persons has not been improved, but on the contrary, it has become more and more serious.

"Before it was simply lack of people. By the middle of the year, because of the shortage of workers, the existing workers had become the meat and potatoes, and several factories were rushing for it. You see, almost every factory now has more than 100 people coming in every day. At the same time, more than 100 people came out. The order of personnel was completely chaotic. Workers are so rare that they can sell up like commodities, and if wages rise, they will start paying four thousand or five thousand of the transfer fee from a factory to another factory.

Yesterday, in the face of reporters, wind and fire Chen boss is not very "calm".

According to Chen Yuze, big Chen Zhen There are more than 400 garment factories in total, with a shortfall of 20 thousand workers.

This is what Lewis, an ordinary factory owner in Zhejiang, must face when he is deeply trapped in the "turning point".

In the eyes of Lang Yue, chief consultant of Hangzhou hunters Human Resources Development Co., Ltd., this is the necessity of development.

"Lewis turning point", proposed by Arthur Lewis, the Nobel Economic Prize winner, suggests that developing countries usually have to undergo a process of two yuan economic development. The surplus labor force in the countryside continuously supplies cheap labor for the industrialization, and the wage growth is slow. When the industrialization comes to absorb the surplus labor force, the surplus labor force is at an endless supply stage, and the "demographic dividend" has disappeared. At that time, the employment enterprises must continue to absorb the labor force, so the wage level must be raised. This turning point is called "the turning point of Lewis".

In the most active provinces of China, the Shang and newspaper reporters visited during this period. In addition to the anxious business owners, we see the shining Zhejiang wisdom.

One of Zhejiang's wisdom: the scale of "substitute class system".

Tradition is repeatedly broken. Workers follow orders.

"A factory has received a European experience. Foreign trade list 。 At the very beginning, the condition of 15 yuan / piece was opened, and no one had any idea. After that, it was raised to 20 yuan / piece. The last mention of 30 yuan / piece, the result is still no one to reason.

In order to alleviate the difficulty of recruiting workers, the factory of Dachen town invented a "substitute class" system, and it quickly became popular.

"Because our factories are all ordered, and the workers charge for them. After completing a batch of orders in their factories, the workers can move to other factories according to their wishes. Generally, workers who go to OEM can get more than 2 times of their wages, and many workers are willing to go there.

It is not only Yiwu, but also the employment pressure of the clothing industry. Tu Hongyan, executive chairman of Hangzhou Wan Shi Li group, has the same experience. "Now Hangzhou's urban areas have such a situation, forcing many garment enterprises can only through the relocation of Jiangxi and Henan to relieve pressure."

Chen Yuze was very puzzled: "in fact, in Zhejiang, the wages of factories are higher than those of Shenzhen, Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta. The treatment is much better, and people are more friendly. Why can't we recruit people? "

In the past, instead of taking part in individual exchanges between enterprises with relatively good relations, now this way has become a large-scale operation of enterprises to cope with the shortage of manpower.

Zhejiang wisdom two: ask workers to pay the transfer fee.

The level of money will become an accurate index reflecting the degree of shortage of manpower.

"Our clothing factory has an unwritten tradition: there will be a shortage of labor at the beginning of each year. By July and August, the work in the factory was almost done. The factory workers are allowed to take a vacation, so that they can go home to do farm work. They usually have more than 20 days off.

However, this tradition was broken this year.

Not only did they cancel the more than 20 day long vacation, but also the workers' mobility was frequent. 7 and August became a very unusual time for factories to dig each other. In order to attract workers, the bottom salary has reached 2800 yuan, and the skilled salary is more than 4000 yuan per month. But still lack of people.

Chen Yuze said: "now almost every factory assembly line is not enough. Like my factory, there were 15 production lines, and now there are only 5. In the past, factories began to work after the first month of fifteen, and finished the finished products. But now, because of the 500-600 workers, the speed of making the finished products is still sparse. This year, the cost of just one wage is 50% - 60% higher than that of last year.

Chen Yuze said that during the labor shortage in 7 and August, a lot of interesting things happened in the region.

Because of lack of people, workers in Dachen Town, like commodities, buy and sell between factories and factories. {page_break}

Chen Yuze introduces, "take lathe worker as an example, a lathe worker transfers from a factory to another factory, besides raises the wages, also must pay 4000 to 5000 yuan" buys "the lathe worker's expense first.

"Our local factories generally do not give workers endowment insurance, so the" transfer "procedure is relatively easy. However, both Chen Yuze and Lang Yue, a human resource company, vaguely feel that the wages of thousands of workers have become history.

Observe: the garment industry will rebound sharply. Zhejiang style wisdom will face severe test.

"Recently, many garment enterprises have taken the initiative to contact us, and the feedback is all about recruiting people." Lang Yue said.

How come the labor market is still tense in the middle of the year?

"There are many reasons." Lang Yue said that the seasonal reason is: after entering the second half of the year, the foreign Christmas market has increased orders for many garment factories.

At the same time, factory recruitment has also entered a strange circle.

"After the previous financial crisis, many garment factories have shrunk. Now, once orders are increased, workers often fail to use them. At the beginning of this year, the number of migrant workers in Zhejiang was less than that of previous years. As a result, it is very difficult for factories to recruit people. Conversely, because of the difficulty of recruiting people, many factories turn around and try to keep people. For workers, once they get a good job, they will not easily change jobs. This makes it harder for other factories to recruit people. He said.

And another reason is probably the most important reason, that is, after the financial crisis, the foreign economy began to recover slowly.

This point, Chen Yuze had a hunch last year. Because from last year, Chen Yuze, who was originally a domestic seller, obviously felt that the business of foreign trade was getting better again. "Our factory is mainly for low-end shirts. From the beginning of the year to now, there are still more than ten shirts in the container.

There is a set of data from China Customs statistics, which illustrates the same problem. From 1 to May 2010, China's export of clothing and accessories reached 41 billion 653 million US dollars, up 13.12% from the same period last year, and the total export volume was 10 billion 777 million, an increase of 12.49% over the same period last year.

In addition to these external factors, Tu Hongyan also added an internal factor.

"In Zhejiang, especially in Hangzhou, the cost of living is very high. Nowadays, most of the workers in the factory are after 90. Their concept of life, education level, and growing environment are quite different from those before. They are not very interested in too low end jobs. "

In response to the current shortage of manpower, Zhejiang style intelligence has played a significant role in alleviating, but with the development of society and industry, only relying on the current flash of light, it is inevitable. What wisdom should we deal with in the future?
