The Collapse Of Small And Medium-Sized Enterprises Attacking The Pearl River Delta: The Dongguan Model Is Attracting Attention Again.

industry

A survey was carried out to reveal the truth.

Liang Guanqiu, who has been handling aluminum products for more than 20 years in Dali Town, Nanhai District, Foshan, has repeatedly complained to reporters about the difficulty of survival.

"Now almost all the costs are rising from raw material prices, factory rents to workers' wages, and because of fierce competition, the products sold are difficult to digest the operating difficulties caused by rising costs.

Liang Guanqiu said that since there is no real estate and no land, the so-called assets are processing equipment, so small and medium-sized enterprises like them have no qualifications for bank loans. The only way out is to find Guarantee Corporation.

At present, many Guarantee Corporation in Foshan are lending themselves, and their monthly interest rates are usually at least 5% to 6%. If they are eager to spend money, 10 points of interest are common.

Liang Guanqiu said that the monthly interest rate of five or six is 1 million, which means that only a half million interest can be paid in one year.

The interest rate of the 10 points is higher than that of the principal, which is the same as the boss of the industry.

In fact, in recent years, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Pearl River Delta have been facing an unprecedented survival crisis under the influence of RMB appreciation, rising labor costs, rising prices of raw materials and financing difficulties.

Export oriented enterprises bear the brunt

The village in Luohu District, Shenzhen, is known for its processing and export garments.

The village has gathered hundreds of garment processing, garment fabrics and accessories production and related logistics enterprises.

However, it is hard to hear the machine rumbling of the electric sewing machine when the factory starts.

Liu Quande, the owner of a local garment processing enterprise, told reporters that only a few factories are doing sporadic production. The scene of large-scale processing has been gradually gone since last year. This year's situation is even more severe. Many garment processing enterprises have quietly closed down, and the rest of them are already at the stage of survival.

Many enterprises start 35 days a month.

He said that there are many reasons for this situation, on the one hand, the appreciation of the renminbi, on the other hand, a significant increase in the cost of labor, as well as the ups and downs of raw material prices.

"In terms of employment, the original person paid a thousand dollars a month, and now it is generally more than 2000. Some skilled workers are even higher than four thousand or five thousand.

The raw materials for garment processing have also risen sharply. "

Liu Quande said.

In terms of clothing materials, cotton rose from 10 thousand yuan / ton to 30 thousand yuan / ton last year. In order to save costs, many garment enterprises chose chemical fiber fabrics as far as possible, and the quality of products dropped sharply, resulting in a large number of products being unsalable.

On the other hand, many enterprises are hoarding raw materials at the high price of cotton. With the fall of cotton prices this year, they lost their fortune.

In a garment processing enterprise called Feng Dan Bei Lu, Hongkong boss Li Li Li told reporters that according to the current living environment, Shenzhen's foreign trade garment processing enterprises can hardly compete with other places such as Vietnam, Kampuchea, Bangladesh and so on.

"In those places, the monthly salary of workers is only seven hundred or eight hundred yuan, and some even five hundred or six hundred can find people."

Li Li said that most of the enterprises in Europe and the United States occupy the high-end clothing industry, the profits are generally at least 100%, the Japanese and Korean enterprises occupy the middle and high end, and the profits are generally 50% to 80%, while the profits of Chinese garment enterprises are mostly below 10%.

The above situation is not only in the village of Ao village, but also in some other garment processing enterprises in Shenzhen.

In Buji Jihua industrial area, Wang boss, who has been specializing in foreign trade OEM, told reporters in an empty workshop that because of the continuous appreciation of the renminbi, factories are basically in a state of being afraid to take orders.

Pointing to hundreds of idle sewing machines in the workshop, he told reporters that under normal circumstances, the amount of clothing processing reached a maximum of hundreds of thousands of times a year. At present, the total output is less than 5000 from the beginning of the year to the present. Nearly 1000 workers now have only a few ten, even though the monthly commencement time is less than 10 days.

In the context of RMB appreciation, rising labor costs and rising prices of raw materials, especially cotton prices skyrocketing, the output value in 2010 reached 150 billion yuan and exported to US $about 15000000000, which is regarded as one of the largest industries in Shenzhen.

Some people in the industry expect that in Shenzhen's export-oriented clothing industry, about sixty or seventy of the small and medium-sized enterprises may not be able to survive the end of the year.

Difficulties in pformation and upgrading

Zhang Liying, the boss of Dolly clothing company in Shenzhen, said that for the processing enterprises like them, the pformation and upgrading are difficult to implement.

In recent years, she has been to Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places for investigation, but there is no way to set the decision to "move out".

Zhang Liying said, from the results of their inspection, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi and other places, manual labor is not much cheaper than Shenzhen, but there is a big gap in the industrial environment and related supporting facilities, and in addition to the need for more expenditure in logistics costs, it is still unprofitable.

"The garment industry, especially the pfer of foreign trade enterprises, is actually not feasible, at least the conditions for large-scale pfer are not available."

Li Lili said.

She said that most of the garment processing enterprises undertaking foreign orders are sensitive to costs, which is difficult to digest only from the perspective of logistics cost. According to calculations, Shenzhen Qingyuan, which has only shifted from Guangdong to the edge of the PRD, has no money to make, let alone the farther west.

In contrast, Shenzhen seems to have a brilliant performance in terms of industrial upgrading, especially in terms of brand building and nurturing.

According to relevant information, there are more than 3500 garment enterprises and 400 thousand employees in Shenzhen, including more than 2300 fashion women's enterprises and more than 1200 independent brands.

But Li Li Li said that the more than 2300 production and processing of women's clothing enterprises have more than 1200 brands, the phenomenon itself is very abnormal.

"There is no international brand in the real sense. Basically, it belongs to the domestic market. At least we can see that there are homogenization problems."

She said that there is still a long way to go for Shenzhen's clothing brand to truly move towards the international stage.

For foreign trade and processing enterprises that only rely on foundry production, their brand building will not only be longer but also more difficult.

To some extent, Li Lili's views have been recognized by some clothing circles in Shenzhen.

Xia Guoxin, chairman of Shenzhen Ellassay Apparel Industrial Co, thinks that after 10 years and 20 years of efforts, the fashion brand of Shenzhen is likely to be born in Shenzhen.

The Dongguan model is attracting attention again.

Shen Yongfang, Secretary General of Shenzhen garment industry association, said that many enterprises wanted to pform, but how many enterprises were confused.

The Dongguan model may be a useful example.

Dongguan, a predominantly export-oriented economy, was once in deep trouble at the beginning of the international financial crisis. But after more than two years of structural adjustment, it has begun to get out of the haze.

"The proportion of domestic product sales has reached 30% last year, and this year it is expected to reach 60%."

Chen Hansheng, chairman of Dongguan overseas fortune watch Co., Ltd.

Dongguan overseas fortune watch Co., Ltd. is a medium-sized Taiwanese funded enterprise with more than 700 employees, with an annual output of 5 million watches.

Before the international financial crisis, all products were sold to foreign markets. After the outbreak of the financial crisis, enterprises once faced a crisis.

Subsequently, with the help of the local government of Dongguan, the brand was established through the development of the domestic market. At present, the enterprise has already passed the difficulties and has entered a virtuous circle.

Chen Hansheng believes that in this process, a series of supporting measures promulgated by the Dongguan municipal government have contributed. Especially the 3 years of Guangdong foreign capital enterprises (domestic products) exposition has set up an important platform for expanding the domestic market for export-oriented enterprises.

In fact, the Dongguan municipal government has adopted a series of encouragement and support measures to provide pformation and upgrading platform for export-oriented enterprises.

First of all, we are striving to win the Dongguan Expo in Guangdong permanently, and to help enterprises cope with the financial crisis and open up the domestic market in the form of exhibitions. At the same time, we have taken a number of measures to help enterprises to help enterprises in terms of financing, lightening the burden, technology, processing trade pformation and expanding the domestic market.

Take Dongguan Houjie as an example, Li Huiqin, Secretary of Houjie Town Committee, said that in order to solve the financing problems in the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, Houjie Town has set up "Houjie town to promote enterprise financing special funds". In recent years, it has helped SMEs finance 882 loans by 11 billion 210 million yuan.

At the same time, it helped 52 enterprises to get 37 million 730 thousand yuan of financial and technological projects funded by cities and towns.

It is understood that as of now, Houjie Town has 126 processing enterprises pformation form, more than 100 small and medium-sized enterprises from OEM processing to independent production, the town of 549 foreign-funded enterprises, has its own brand 172.

In 2010, there were 82 export-oriented enterprises in Houjie to carry out domestic sales, and the domestic sales amount reached 5 billion 767 million yuan. In the 1 to April of this year, there were 102 domestic export businesses in the whole town, and the domestic sales amount was 2 billion 247 million yuan, an increase of 23.18% over the same period last year.

"The total amount of domestic sales of foreign-funded enterprises in Dongguan has reached 205 billion 400 million yuan in 2010.

It is expected to reach more than 300 billion yuan this year. "

Li Huiqin said.
