Fabric "Big Guy" Thirty Years Of Fengyun Road

80s of last century

Xiqiao's textile industry is thriving.

The story here starts with a sluice called "Minle sinus".

In the village of Minle, Xiqiao, there is a century old sinus gate - Minle Dou.

The village is still active in the textile industry in the past.

In a street called "Minle ruins", it traded more than 100 years ago.

The clothes are moved by the world, and thousands of waves are rising.

Every two, five and eight of the lunar calendar, the boat rocked by the four townships filled with raw silk and mulberry leaves to take advantage of the ruins. On the three, six and nine of the lunar calendar, the boat filled with silk was set off from the sluice gate to Guangzhou for sale.

The Minle silk industry also bought a "flower tail" cargo ship, named "Xiqiao silk boat", carrying a small boat full of silk fabrics. Like a long dragon, it went to Guangzhou in great strength and exported to Guangzhou through foreign countries.

This is the famous water on history.

At that time, all the major textile gathering places in the country competed vigorously, but Xiqiao only kept this grand event until 80s of last century.

At that time, there were more than 3000 textile factories registered in Xiqiao, and formed the production and marketing system of "1000 factories, 1000 stores, 10000 machines, 100 million cloth", and became one of the major textile production and sales bases nationwide.

Xiqiao, the national textile market, is a thriving industry.

90s of last century

In the mid 90s of last century, the representative of France's Rick company predicted that the "big cake", the "big cake" of Xiqiao's cloth industry, began to face the danger of being divided.

At that time, the textile market in all parts of the country is developing rapidly, especially in Zhejiang.

On the other hand, many garment manufacturers in the Pearl River Delta have built up a wholesale cloth market which is closely related to the garment manufacturing industry in other places, making many clothing manufacturers from Xiqiao to pick up goods in other markets.

"Zhongshan Shaxi, Dongguan Humen, Guangzhou Xintang, Shunde Junan, these markets are not large, but there is a large number of foreign garment factories linking up, which has a great impact on Xiqiao textile industry and textile city."

Chen Shubin, President of the Foshan Textile Industry Association, said, "there are no big brothers on the rivers and lakes.

When others have not yet entered the industry, you are the respected profession. When others are in line, you can only survive in low price and vicious competition, and when others' products exceed you, you will have to escape.

At that time, although the fabric market was gradually rising, it was essentially "imitation weaving".

However, Xiqiao has the humanistic foundation of the Millennium cloth production, and has the advantage of approaching Hong Kong and Macao.

The threshold of imitation is too low, so that people in Xiqiao have to lock some good fabrics in the safe to prevent them from being secretly cut off for imitation.

"In the final analysis, this kind of" fear thief "mentality is not enough to get rid of the low level competition.

Chen Shubin preached.

After joining the WTO, Xiqiao bosses realized that "

Twenty first century

Technology leading into rural private enterprises

Imitation weaving has become history.

In the new century, entrepreneurs in Xiqiao realized that "no breakthrough, there is only one way to die."

Xiqiao people began to form the first national textile textile technology development center in May 1998, "Xiqiao Textile City cloth art making company".

By the end of 1999, Xiqiao town had invested 120 million yuan to build the R & D building of intelligent wiring, the Southern Technology Innovation Center.

Subsequently, the center worked with Donghua University to establish a post doctoral research mobile workstation, and to cooperate with the Guangzhou Academy of fine arts to set up a pattern design studio, which is fully integrated with the Hongkong Productivity Council and China Textile Information Center.

"This is a time of great awakening, and some of the most advanced scientific and technological research at home and abroad have entered Xiqiao and entered the workshop of rural private enterprises in the past."

Chen Shubin introduced that the enterprises in Xiqiao began to set their sights further. A revolutionary history led by science and technology led the industry to break through.

In 2002, the China (Xiqiao) International Textile Exposition held in Xiqiao threw out the idea of "digital textile" for the first time.

The exhibitors of cloth will put their best products in a prominent booth for customers to choose.

At that time, it became a "revolution" event.

This means that with the improvement of technological content, Xiqiao cloth is no longer afraid of being secretly cut off, bulk counterfeiting.

The confidence of Xiqiao fabric giants began to return.

On the one hand is the collective awakening of the enterprise family and the support of the government departments.

Subsequently, Xiqiao took the textile industry as the most important part of the local economic construction, and poured a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to implement the "textile industry".

Looking forward to the future

With the development of the times, Xiqiao is advancing with the times.

Just last week at the national popular fabric fair, Xiqiao entrepreneurs again shocked merchants from all over the world: "here is no longer cloth, but creativity."

"A lot of high-end new fabric products are in the form of clothing, we sell not only cloth, but creativity, is the fashion trend of future clothing."

Chen Shubin commented on the new changes in the national popular fabric fair.

This is undoubtedly a new starting point for Xiqiao textile industry to start again -- creativity and market leading.

Guan Haiquan, deputy mayor of Xiqiao Town, said that Xiqiao is launching several industrial promotion projects.

One of the key points is to develop headquarters economy and creative industries.

With the innovation system of the South Technology Innovation Center, invest more than 150 million yuan, build a high-tech headquarters building with 24 layers of textile technology, introduce and cultivate textile creative enterprises, and create a "creative headquarters" building with creative design, research and development, information exchange, product distribution and negotiation.

Correspondingly, there are also the construction of creative clothing industrial parks and the establishment of modern three-dimensional trading logistics system.

Relying on the marketing network of Guangdong Xiqiao Textile City, we build a textile raw material financial logistics center, which integrates trading, warehousing and distribution.

Building an intelligent e-commerce platform for textile products, covering the whole process of textile trading, and realizing online pactions.

Sun Ruizhe, vice president of China Textile Industry Association, pointed out that the current national epidemic
