Mr. Zhang, who runs the shoe business in the six way of Zhongshan, has been doing the shoe business for five years. He told reporters that "this year, our purchase price has also risen to varying degrees. Last year, the price of single shoes with a price of 200 yuan increased by 20 yuan this year, not to mention those winter boots such as boots, and the purchase price rose at least one or two percent." In fact, the CPI data of the National Bureau of statistics in September showed that non food prices became a new price increase factor, and clothing prices rose by 3.4% over the same period last year.

There is a low-grade shoe store near my house. The price is about 100 yuan, but there are many, but I can't afford it.

"All costs are rising and retail prices are rising." Shoe industry veteran told reporters: "recruitment difficulties are particularly prominent problems. In fact, some larger brand shoe factories are unable to recruit people in the whole Guangdong area. The number of workers in a brand shoe factory is less than 1/10 that of ten years ago. The shoemaking industry is a traditional industry, which is not very attractive to young people, but the traditional old shoemaker has gradually broken away from the industry because of low social status and low wage income, and gradually formed a vicious circle of personnel turnover.

Survey: 80% production lines move out of Pearl River Delta

Chen boss (a pseudonym) runs a medium-sized company in Zhongshan. Shoe material Now, more than 80% of the production lines in the Pearl River Delta's shoe processing plants have been transferred to Southeast Asia or inland areas. Some small factories with only one or two production lines, only more than 1000 workers, basically all went bankrupt.

He told reporters that in order to retain the right workers, the factory will receive two pay increases per year, namely, the year March and October, "100 yuan to 200 yuan per month." According to the introduction, the wages of some small factories have been raised by a higher margin. "Now export business is not easy to do. European and American customers directly transfer orders to Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries. In the past, orders for more than 80% of a brand were completed in China, but now we can only receive 30% orders. "

Informed sources told reporters, as the production line of big shoe factory has been gradually transferred out, the vacancy rate of the shoe factory has reached 30%. "The larger the vacancy rate of the large processing plant is, the smaller the production line is, the more intense it is." The reason for this is that many bosses have gradually allocated the production and processing process. The above said, "take a shoe factory as an example, the previous factory can accommodate ten thousand employees, 12 production lines and three factories, covering an area of more than 30 thousand square meters. But now no one can be recruited, and the factory has less than 3000 people, half of whom are management staff and half of workers. Because of lack of people, the boss allocated the production line according to the process, and only 5 of the existing production lines could be worked out, and the rest had been gradually transferred to the production line. Jiangxi Such as inland provinces, Vietnam and other countries. This is also a helpless move. "

Insiders say that "the environment may be more embarrassing in the next one to two years, and the Pearl River Delta region may slowly shift from production base to R & D base."
