Promote the linkage of the chamber of Commerce and tide over difficulties

Cen Runhong, chairman of Foshan Federation of industry and Commerce

"More difficulties than imagined."

Cen Runhong, chairman of Foshan Federation of industry and commerce, said that as the chairman of Guangdong Heng Wei Group, he has been at the forefront of economic operation. At present, the local SMEs in Foshan are affected by the rising cost and other factors. Under the "low profit" environment, they need external attention and support from government policies.

The Federation of industry and commerce, as an assistant of the government in the management of the non-public economy, should organize and promote the upgrading and pformation of private enterprises in order to cope with the complicated economic trend.

Cen Runhong said that the Foshan Federation of industry and commerce is promoting the joint development mechanism of the chamber of Commerce in order to give full play to the role of the Federation of industry and Commerce in the bridge between private enterprises.

Specifically, it is to guide enterprises or regional enterprises to establish alliances such as integrity alliances, brand alliances, capital alliances, standard alliances, service alliances, etc. through the lead of the chamber of Commerce, and organize enterprises to cope with the increasingly competitive economic environment through tug of war.

At the same time, the Federation of industry and commerce is doing the "home" of small and medium-sized enterprises. Cen Runhong said that the Federation of industry and Commerce will actively serve member services. In view of the specific difficulties existing in the small and medium-sized enterprises, the Municipal Federation of industry and Commerce will actively feedback to the relevant departments about the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, excessive administrative fees and other issues, and urge the government to introduce more favorable policies to help enterprises tide over the difficulties.

Join hands with banks to maintain industry stability

Chen Lihao, President of Lecong iron and steel trade association

There are two characteristics of Lecong iron and steel trading enterprises, one is the market experience, the enterprise leader has rich trade experience, the second is direct docking downstream users, and the market sales chain is stable.

Chen Lihao believes that these two characteristics make Lecong enterprises strong in facing the economic downturn.

"Market volatility will have a certain impact on trade, but from the information conference held by the Lecong steel trade association at this month's member information conference, it was learned that no iron and steel enterprises in Lecong in the first half of this year failed because of the poor economic situation."

Under the situation of tight bank funds, the Lecong iron and steel trade association has maintained close communication with banks. On the one hand, it allows banks to understand the dynamics of the whole industry. On the other hand, it hopes to make banks tilt the amount to Lecong by communication so as to tilt to the steel industry.

Facts have proved that active communication with banks plays an important role in stabilizing the overall market environment.

In addition, the industry association actively communicates with member units, exposes the dishonest enterprises in time, and notifies corporate members to avoid unnecessary losses.

Chen Lihao disclosed that the Lecong iron and steel trade association also led the Guangdong iron and steel trade association to publicized its use next month. At that time, the threshold for enterprises to join will be lowered, information communication will be more comprehensive and thoughtful, and it will be a bigger platform for the upstream and downstream enterprises in the steel industry, so as to better promote sales.

Help enterprises apply for subsidies to relieve technical reform pressure

Wu Haoliang, Secretary General of Foshan textile and Garment Industry Association

Wu Haoliang, Secretary General of Foshan textile and garment industry association, admits that in the face of extremely unstable cotton prices, although the industry associations can do little, they are still trying to guide and help enterprises out of this predicament.

The association has been encouraging enterprises to produce more independent research and development products, while minimizing the proportion of processed products.

"Now, our trade associations will help enterprises to declare technical pformation projects at the national, provincial and municipal levels at the beginning of each year, and strive to make technological pformation projects of Foshan textile enterprises enter" project repository "so as to get subsidies and subsidies from governments at all levels so as to reduce the pressure of technological pformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Wu Haoliang said.

Meanwhile, beginning in March this year, the trade associations began to use their own resources. Experts from the industry were invited to give lectures to the bosses, engineering technicians and managers of Foshan textile enterprises.

And the topic of the lecture is closely related to the hot and difficult points of the current industry.

Outspoken school

Only the 1/3 association is a good association.

Wu Yulin, President of Foshan lighting and Lighting Association

The lighting and lighting association has been established for only one year, but its member enterprises can not underestimate the 002449 stars, the Blue Arrow Electronics and Guangdong Zhao Xin.

Wu Yulin, President of Foshan lighting and Lighting Association, believes that if the global economy is down, the association should integrate resources within the industry, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can support FSL (000541, stock bar) and Guoxing optoelectronics.

According to its introduction, at present, the association of lighting and lighting is coordinating with the government in financial financing, policy support and other countermeasures. Meanwhile, it is planning to work together with the government to open up the market.

But Wu Yulin bluntly said that only 1/3's industry associations in Foshan are good associations. The rest is either dead or paralyzed.

"The association should take the initiative to work for the needs of the enterprise."

He pointed out that at present, in the LED industry, the relevant departments are bypassing the association when formulating industrial policies, so it is difficult for enterprises to express their views on industrial planning.

At the same time, because Foshan has not yet accurately positioned the LED industry planning, it is difficult for enterprises to grasp the direction of development that Foshan wants to support.

"I hope that Foshan can accurately locate the LED industry as soon as possible so that all relevant departments of the government can work together to make sure that the enterprise can take the reassurance!"

Industry associations are too weak to be binding on enterprises.

Asian Ceramics CEO Pu Dingxin

In the face of more and more anti-dumping cases, the CEO ceramic company of Asian listed ceramic companies in the UK believes that the ceramic industry association should be more specialized so as to fight for greater discourse power for Foshan and even China's ceramic enterprises in international competition.

"On anti-dumping issues, it will involve professional knowledge such as WTO law, foreign policy and so on. The requirements for the association will be improved accordingly. If the staff members of the association have a deeper understanding of these things, they will be very helpful for safeguarding the rights and interests of ceramic enterprises.

In addition, the staff of the association must have a professional knowledge of the industry so as to play a role in the development of an industry. "

Pu Dingxin believes that compared with foreign trade associations in formulating the right to speak on industrial policies, the domestic trade associations are too weak at present, and basically have no binding force or compulsion on enterprises.

Taking ceramic industry as an example, one reason for encountering anti-dumping is that the low price disorder competition among enterprises gives a bad impression to foreign countries. For this phenomenon, the association can only appeal to enterprises to avoid price war, but there is no compulsion. If the enterprise fails to do so, the association will not be able to do so.

Therefore, I think the government can pfer some power such as standard setting or testing to the association, so that the association will be more binding on the enterprise.
