The "World Factory" Model Will Come To An End.

Compared with three years ago, the industry is facing more serious difficulties.

Enterprises should cope with the lack of technology, and the "world factory" mode will come to an end.

In the world, cowboys have three points.

"There are fewer orders abroad.

We have no money to earn, and I will go home in a few days. "

A woman worker from Jiangxi said.

A row of shops behind her, some of them had been locked, and some even posted a red paper, which read "big shop for rent".

The status quo of Xintang cowboy town is a microcosm of the industrial dilemma in the Pearl River Delta.

To date, the small and medium-sized enterprises based on processing trade are still an important pillar of the Pearl River Delta industrial economy.

Unfortunately, the order crisis in 2008 has now evolved into a more serious overall predicament.

Tens of thousands of small enterprises engaged in low-end manufacturing industry have been unable to continue production due to the sharp squeeze of overseas orders, rising costs, shortage of labor force, declining profit margins, trade and financial risks and financing difficulties.

Three years later, SMEs have no new laws to deal with the crisis, or they are struggling to survive or escape from industry.

The pformation and upgrading of the "world factory" is still ahead.

Pessimists even believe that the Pearl River Delta's 30 year economic model is in the extreme.

"World factory" withered

Dongguan, known as the "world shoe capital", is located in High Town and small shoe factory in Houjie town.

The biggest shoe material center in Houjie is laoxia, which has hundreds of small family workshops.

Yang Yan, 28, took a small stool and sat outside the shop. He was wearing string beads.

"I used to earn twenty thousand or thirty thousand a month, but since August 2011, I can only guarantee that I will not lose money."

Yang Yan said, "in previous years, a few months before Christmas, we began to recruit several more people.

But basically there was no order in 2011, and the workers went home early to celebrate the new year. I sold some stock here. "

About 1/3 of the shops in her market are closed, and the opening of the business is the Yemen Rowe.

An extreme tragedy took place in the afternoon of December 13th.

Owing to poor management, the supplier owed about 4000000 yuan of money, and the head of a leather goods factory in laoxia community lit up gasoline and died of self Immolation.

Since 2011, orders for footwear and clothing in European and American markets have gradually declined, and enquiries from these two regions have been further reduced in August.

At present, it is the peak season for Christmas in Europe and America, but the rate of shipment in the European market is still around 50%, and the shipment rate in the American market is less than 80%.

Although orders from the Middle East and Latin America and Africa markets increased slightly, they could not make up for the reduction of orders in Europe and the United States.

The wages of workers are basically "base salary + Royalty" mode.

The sharp reduction of orders resulted in a serious decline in workers' income and a large number of workers chose to leave.

This has aggravated the local "labor shortage".

In the cowboy city of Xintang, more than 90% of the small factories that are still open for business are hanging out "Recruitment" information at the door.

Yao Xi, a financial manager of a garment factory, told reporters, "three years ago, 800 yuan to 1000 yuan a month could recruit a worker. Now we need more than 1500 pieces of hand, and 3000 months of skilled month."

In October 2011, the National Development Research Institute of Peking University and Alibaba group jointly released the survey report on the operation and financing of small enterprises in Pearl River Delta (hereinafter referred to as the report).

The report points out that the wages of small enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region have increased by 20%-30% compared with 2010, and the wages of some senior technicians have risen by more than 100%.

Even at this price, few people ask for it.

In cowboy town, reporters were asked at least five times in a half day, "do they have to work?" however, when reporters asked how many people they wanted to hire, and started several hours a day, the heads of several enterprises were at a loss.

"All of this depends on the amount of orders people give us."

A person in charge said.

According to the report, the average operating rate in the PRD region is 70.92% due to the decline in orders and the shortage of labor.

Among them, only 33.79% of the small enterprises with a rate of over 90%, 20.59% of the small enterprises with a starting rate of 50% and below, and the lower the scale of the enterprises, the lower the annual sales rate of the enterprises with less than 5 million yuan and below, and the enterprises operating at 50% or below can reach 27.29%.

This is not the same as the situation of overtime production in PRD enterprises in the past years.
