Four Questions Of Footwear Industry In Huidong (Four)

In 2011, due to the external market downturn, especially the two dip of the world economy brought by the European debt crisis, it brought great impact to China's manufacturing industry, especially the big foreign trade province of Guangdong. What is the future of export-oriented manufacturing industry?

As an industrial cluster, how to transform and upgrade in the shock? This is a question worthy of deep thinking. Just after the new year, the reporter went deep into the shoe industry cluster interview in Huidong, hoping to show and reflect on the current problems faced by the export-oriented manufacturing industry through this specific case. Most of the shoe factories below the scale of Huidong are closed family management, mainly in the form of family workshops, mainly based on OEM. Like the famous Foxconn, they play the role of OEM. "Chaos sticks to fight the world" Management The way of production is the mainstream mode of production at the beginning of development. It has played an indelible contribution to promoting the development of Huidong county industry. Now there are also thousands of shoe factories in Yu Huidong.

In the global economic ecological chain, the Huidong women's shoes industry is like a boat. The early opportunity to seize it has not been sustained. Even the owners who are the helmmakers can not predict where it will go.

　　 Four ask the chamber of Commerce: when will the interest war cease?

In July 13, 2011, Huidong shoe leather industry association held a general meeting. This is the second chamber of Commerce established in Huidong within two years. In October 28, 2009, the Huidong Footwear Association was established. Earlier, there were Huizhou Footwear Association and Jilong and Huang port Footwear Association.

Although it was listed in July and elected the first board of directors with the chairman of the Huizhou Municipal People's Congress and Chen Jingbo, chairman of Huizhou Wei Ming Footwear Co., Ltd., however, it was not until October this year that the Council held its inauguration ceremony.

"On the day of the founding of the July, the scene was extremely cold and deserted, and the so-called members did not take part in it." The insider disclosed that at that time, a leader in Huidong county made a phone call to the following enterprises in person, and asked them to support the work. For this reason, the inauguration ceremony has been postponed several times.

　　 Suspected violation?

"There are several chambers of Commerce in the shoe leather industry of Huidong, but no one can represent the footwear industry in Huidong. It is necessary to establish a shoe leather industry association which covers footwear industry and tannery shoe material trade related to footwear industry. Qin Feifan, executive vice president and Secretary General of Huidong shoe leather industry association, said that it will always be the only organization representing the external exchange of Huidong shoe leather industry.

This position stems from the fact that leaders at all levels attach great importance to this industry and establish this organization.

Qin Feifan did not explain the government background of the establishment of the chamber of Commerce. "When it comes to the government level, it is hard to answer. But when it comes to the advantages of the association, Qin Feifan stressed, "our strength lies in policy tilt and government resources."

Qin Feifan's other identity is Huidong County SME Bureau reform and development stock. Shoe leather will always work with the SME Bureau. The president's office will be less than 10 meters away from Qin Feifan's office.

However, the opinions formulated by the State Council in 2007 on accelerating the reform and development of trade associations of trade associations explicitly stipulate that trade associations must carry out activities independently and independently in accordance with laws, regulations and articles of association, and earnestly solve the problems of serious administrative tendency and dependence on the government.

It is stipulated that: "at present, the office is to be separated for a specified period of time, and the present civil servant shall not serve as a leading position in the trade association."

In November 22, 2011, Wang Yang, Secretary of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, stressed at the Guangdong Provincial Work Conference on deepening reform of the system, we should vigorously cultivate and standardize the management of social organizations. Efforts should be made to increase the transfer of government functions so as to let the social organizations "decentralization" and dare to let social organizations "relay". He said that all social organizations can "live well and manage well" and they should be gradually handed over to them.

According to the thirteenth provision of the regulations on the administration of registration of societies issued by the State Council in 1998, it is not necessary for the social organizations whose business scope is the same or similar in the same administrative region.

Qin Feifan will not know. When asked whether the association had any affiliation or affiliation with other chambers of Commerce, Qin Feifan said: "according to the regulations of the State Council promulgated by the societies, the conditions for the establishment of social organizations can be established, and we have no affiliation." {page_break}

In fact, for the first time, the association failed to get the approval of the civil affairs department and finally passed the examination and approval.

"Because the chamber of commerce is a voluntary establishment by the people, but the government will lead this association. The secretary general is sent by the government to facilitate communication with the government and facilitate communication with domestic and foreign leaders, chambers of Commerce, associations, etc., representing the image of Huidong. Otherwise, there are five chambers of Commerce in the past, and there are people coming to it. I don't know which chamber of commerce is representing Huidong to receive it!" Chen Shaobo said when he talked about the relationship between many chambers of Commerce.

Although there are only 300 members, Qin Feifan does not care about the number of members. "The total output value and the tax amount of the enterprises that are always vice president or above account for more than half of the whole county, that is to say, large enterprises are our vice presidents and above units."

According to the introduction of the "China women shoes industrial base" in the Huidong county's internal exchange publication, the general statistics of the shoe leather industry association, the reporter has roughly counted, there will be 1 presidents, 11 executive vice presidents, 3 Permanent Honorary Presidents, 38 vice presidents and 4 directors.

　　 Conflict of interests?

Reporters waited for a minute, and Lin Weijin, chairman of Huidong footwear industry association, came out.

Lin Weijin is well dressed. shirt And leisure Man's suit Walking slowly, he put Louis Weedon's classic handbag on the wooden table at the terrace leisure kiosk. This is Lin Weijin's office building in Huidong. Looking to the south, less than 5 minutes' drive is the location of Lin Weijin Jin Feng Shoe Co., Ltd.

In 2009, Lin Weijin was elected president of the Huidong footwear industry association. Lin Weijin's Office Association developed to more than 500 members a year later.

Although there is no government character, the Huidong footwear industry association has been recognized by the government. The leaders of Huidong county Party committee and county government were present when they were founded, and the information disclosed to the outside world was to support the chamber of Commerce. And whether it's going to Beijing to attend the China Leather Association's activities, or go to various parts of the country to carry out activities will take the chamber of Commerce.

At this time, the Huizhou Footwear Association, which was officially designated by the government, has long been ignored by the government.

"The Huizhou footwear industry association is established by the Huidong County initiative. After the party secretary came to know, she simply hung up the Huizhou brand. I don't think their operation is very good. " Chen Shaobo introduced.

People familiar with the matter said: "the footwear industry association of Huizhou is a representative of the government, but the government insiders do not think so. The association of President Lin Weijin is replacing the chamber of Commerce in the city."

Lin Weijin did not care about the establishment of the shoe leather association. He said he would do well the work of the Huidong Footwear Association and serve the members well.

The reality may not be as he wishes: "when the government introduced to the outside world, it will always represent the footwear industry in Huidong, and no other chamber of commerce can represent it."

Now Huidong shoe leather association has become the executive director of the China Leather Association. At the beginning, the Huidong county government found a provincial level association, hoping that the provincial association would merge the Huidong Footwear Association and Huizhou shoe industry association in the form of shoes Association.

The provincial level Association believes that "there is no need for you to set up a chamber of Commerce and Huidong chamber of commerce is enough."

"The enterprise in the Huidong footwear industry association said," you feel that this president's inaction can be changed, and there is no need to re organize a chamber of Commerce. " People familiar with the matter are difficult to understand the practice of shoe leather association. {page_break}

It has been speculated that Huidong County eager to introduce the power source of shoe leather association comes from the annual 3 million yuan annual membership fee mentioned by Huidong shoe industry association.

Chen Shengda said, "the more the chamber of commerce is, the more chaotic it is. It was originally our Huang Bu chamber of Commerce to manage, but this enterprise belongs to the city or the County Chamber of Commerce, they also want to manage, so the problem is solved by itself."

　　 What is the chamber of Commerce?

There were not many staff members, and only 6 Qin Feifan joined the civil service.

"Our business model is different. For example, we need to set up a fashion Women's shoes R & D and fashion trends release center, which is a very large organization, which requires about 30 people in this department. The responsibility of the association is to integrate resources and build platforms. Qin Feifan will repeat from time to time, they are different from other chambers of Commerce - policy tilt and government resources.

In fact, 2008 is the watershed of the footwear industry in Huidong. Besides the external factors, there are also the disadvantages of the internal ecological chain.

The local industry believes that shoe leather should always play a bigger role, but the expected effect is not yet apparent.

In his summary of the work of the general assembly in 2011, Chen Jingbo pointed out four existing problems. Apart from serving a small number of members, the role was not obvious, and the institutional setup was not sound enough, and the supervision was not perfect enough, the problem of manpower in the secretariat was mentioned.

In the summary of the work, the last point is "the discipline of the individual members of the Council is not strong enough, the enthusiasm for participating in the industry is not high enough, and a considerable proportion of the members do not have the initiative to pay membership fees".

"An association must exist, not just a brand, but a substantial existence." The local industry believes that the association should succeed if it is not for you to join, but for your initiative to join. "The association like Wenzhou is in place, and there are some contradictions among its members. There are specialized lawyers to help you solve problems, even if you go abroad for lawsuits." Chen Shengda said.

"I can't help you. I'll meet a few friends and get together." Li Shiwan's understanding of the four pairs of chambers of Commerce in the brotherhood may represent the aspirations of a large number of enterprises.

"Our importance lies in what enterprises need at present, such as human resources and personnel training. This is a problem that enterprises need to solve very much at the moment, and it is financing. In addition, the shoe industry is a fashionable industry, and we must set up our own footwear research and development. Popular Trend publishing center; and we need to set up an international footwear inspection agency. Qin Feifan said, "we should do so many things. If these things are done, we will be able to afford our industry and member units."
