Kazakhstan'S Four Thousand Pairs Of Shoe Orders Hit Wenzhou

"It's no longer produced. You can look for another house". "The factory is closed, sorry."

Such a reply made Li Ping's heart sink slightly.

Li Ping has been engaged in foreign trade business in Xinjiang Frontier Hotel for more than ten years. In October 25th, when reporters saw him, he was busy registering a new company.

Li Ping told reporters that such a reply was that he had taken customers to Wenzhou to purchase some time ago.

When children get it.

"Many manufacturers in the mainland have gone bankrupt, and the foreign trade business is hard to do now. I just want to register for a new business, but I will not do foreign trade for a while."

Li Ping's experience is not unique. Through his narration, we can get a glimpse of the true face of the foreign trade market today.

I haven't ordered a pair of shoes in Wenzhou.

"I didn't order a pair of shoes and ran all over the original suppliers, all of them closed.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the small and medium-sized shoe factories in Wenzhou are now closed down, and only some large factories are continuing to produce.

Li Ping said that several of his original suppliers in Wenzhou failed to survive the international financial crisis. After being hit by walls, he had to move to Chengdu and Chongqing to find new suppliers.

Li Ping said that this time he took the order of four thousand pairs of shoes made by Kazakhstan customers to Wenzhou to order. "To the manufacturer's door closed, I feel very sad. To say that this international financial crisis has a great impact on the shoe factories in the mainland, the number of factories that produce shoes for Xinjiang's foreign trade merchants is mostly processing trade enterprises, relying on foreign orders.

Since the financial crisis, these manufacturers have shut down because they can not maintain production.

In the industry, the trend of "Guangzhou shoes" is popular.

The shoe dominated market, which seems to be breaking down now.

Industrial pfer and cost pressures are bothering Wenzhou shoe companies.

According to survey data, the number of shoe making enterprises in Wenzhou has shrunk, from more than 5000 in 2002 to more than 2000 today.

"Now manufacturers simply do not dare to pick up the goods, for example, foreign businessmen want to order ten thousand pairs of shoes, the price of each pair of shoes is 80 yuan, but after the goods are produced, the US dollar has fallen, and the manufacturers have lost it."

Li Ping said that the devaluation of the US dollar has a huge impact on international trade, because the decline of the exchange rate sometimes exceeds the profit margin of the manufacturers, so many manufacturers are reluctant to take orders.

After understanding, he found that another reason for the closure of factories was that they could not recruit workers.

Li Ping said that every factory has signs for recruiting workers, and also promised wages, working age wages, overtime pay, etc., but it can not attract many people.

"The manufacturers say that the wages of the workers have been very high now, or even doubled, which is beyond the scope of their support.

But no worker can guarantee that the production line can start. Some manufacturers keep several production lines to continue production, and some are directly closed.

This is only part of the reason for the collapse of factories, and the weakening of foreign purchasing power is also affecting the market.

Affected by the international financial crisis, foreign customers do not have much money at hand. For example, when choosing products, Central Asian customers generally choose cheap, good quality products.

"According to the normal accounting, the original 80 yuan a pair of shoes should now rise to 100 yuan, but foreign customers can not give this price, or insist on 80 yuan.

On the contrary, the production cost and labor cost of domestic products are rising sharply. The central point of the two party squeezing at home and abroad is concentrated on the manufacturers. They can neither raise the price of the products nor the wages of the workers, but they are also very contradictory.
