European Debt Crisis Affects China'S Garment Factories, Pearl River Delta Orders, Shorter Workers

Global demand shrank after the outbreak of the European debt crisis.

Worker status quo

Factories do not produce hundreds of people to leave the factory "copy more".

Xintang Town, Zengcheng, Guangzhou, is a famous cowboy processing base in the world. In recent years, due to the instability of orders in garment factories, there has been a professional "copy more" family. A large number of skilled garment workers do not enter fixed factories, but where they have goods to do, they go where they can do odd jobs, and then they go away after they finish the goods.

In order to reduce labor costs, factories also reduce the size of fixed workers. When they receive large bills, they will hire more workers and pay wages by piece.

The human resources market in Xintang is a place where people often copy and eat.

At 8 a.m. on November 25th, the skilled clothing workers rushed in from the rented houses scattered around Xintang. In less than half an hour, three hundred and four hundred people gathered in the square.

The factory's cars also came from all over the place. In a short time, the thirty or forty large garment factories gathered in the huge square.

As soon as the car of each factory stops in the square, it will immediately surround a gang of more tribes. Everyone consulted around the cowboy. "How much is it?" "1 hair 1", "too low, at least 1 gross 3".

Finding the right job is not easy.

In November, the sun was shining in Guangzhou, but Mr. Jin's mood in the early morning market was somewhat disturbed. Since he came out of the original garment factory half a month ago, he came here to look for work every day. But ten days later, he had not found a suitable one. "I don't want it very much, as long as I can earn seventy or eighty yuan a day, and the goods will be ready at the end of the year."

But the factory that recruits here can achieve a very low unit price at the end of the year, which is about 10% lower than the original factories that he has done, and the goods with a slightly higher price can only do one or two days.

Mr. Kim had been working in the factory for a long time. He paid a piece of money for a long term job. He could get two thousand seven hundred and eight hundred yuan a month. But in the past few months, the original factory did not do it alone, but only one thousand yuan a month, so the resignation came out.

Reporters interviewed more than 10 copies in the market randomly. Most people said that the reason why they came out for copying was because the factory did not have stable goods to do. As the pieceworker did not have the basic salary, he could not earn money in a factory and had to copy it.

However, most people find it difficult to find suitable jobs after they come out.

Xintang also has a special copy.

Lao Zhu from Jiangxi is a teacher who has worked as a tailor for more than thirty years. After he came to Xintang in 2007, he did more copy.

"Over the years, I have visited hundreds of factories."

Lao Zhu said that because of his excellent skills and many people he knew, he hardly needed to go to the human resources market. Every day, there were calls to work for him.

Lao Zhu also has a relatively high price requirement. "Generally, I can't earn 200 yuan a day, and I will not accept it."

More people, less goods, lower wages.

However, the income of Lao Zhu has also been reduced sharply this year, and one month old Zhu can busy up to 25, 6 days, earning up to five thousand or six thousand, but in the past 25 days in November, Lao Zhu made sixteen seven days of goods and made more than 3000 yuan.

Lao Zhu said that when the factory nearby had a large list, he would immediately receive a call.

This year, however, the goods in the market are about three or four less than that of last year.

In the past, the list of tens of thousands of pieces was very common. Now the list is obviously less, and the largest number is ten thousand or twenty thousand.

And in the last one or two months, the price of labor has also been reduced. The same process of trousers head has been 1.5 yuan / piece, and now it is only 1.3 yuan / piece.

Lao Zhu estimated that in Xintang, more than seven hundred or eight hundred people were copied.

Enterprise anxiety

Most worried about the return of funds

Interviewed a number of manufacturing enterprises such as clothing, furniture, footwear and other industries, basically the same reaction is that since October, the withdrawal of funds has become a positive difficulty.

Many bosses are worried that cash strained companies will not survive this year.

Zhan Jia He, owner of Guangzhou Di Tai textile and Garments Co., Ltd., said that the problem of factory now is not the problem of how many goods it is, but the problem of collection. Since retail terminal is not sold, it has become very difficult since October, and the situation is much more difficult than in 2008 and 2009.

Because the front part can not be collected, the large amount of goods accumulated by the manufacturer can not be released. Now there is a lot of backlog in Xintang. It is estimated that digestion will not be finished in three or four months, and many factories have already had a holiday.

It said that at the end of the year, more and more factories will be closed, and many garment factories may not survive this winter.

Liu Yongjun, owner of Shunde Longjiang Yuan Wen Yi office furniture Co., Ltd., said that many customers of the company are large financial clients, such as banks and mobile communication companies. There are no problems in the usual return of funds, but this year, the payment of customers is also much slower. The withdrawal of funds has become very severe since October.

Since the second half of this year, due to the shrinking export market, many large furniture factories in Longjiang have been closed down, and local owners prefer to rent the workshop for rent.
