Fuzhou Garment Exports Difficult

　　 Cai Da Tong It is a boss of a foreign trade export company in Fujian. It mainly trades in fluorescent vest and raincoat, and it is a member of the European and American clothing armies. According to the local guild, this year's situation is worse than 2008. Together with Xiaobian for details.

　　 clothing In the cold winter industry, brand enterprises are better off, and the survival of industry shuffling is expected to gain a larger market. Foreign trade clothing must have control over channels and customers, in order to enhance its advantages, but it will be difficult to achieve in the short term. Many foreign trade clothing enterprises are going to sell domestically, and they will be able to thrive in the next economic cycle.

Cai Datong did not know where to move the factory two years later. Some of his colleagues were wondering whether to close the factory or not.

From the main urban area of Fuzhou, the second ring road has been driven to the third ring road. There are a large number of logistics companies and foreign trade factories on both sides of Fuwan Boulevard in Cangshan district. The company founded by Tsai Tong Tong has rented two floors to make a garment workshop in Fuwan industrial area. About 2000 jobs in the 2000 square meter workshop are working, which means that the company is still a survivor in business.

　　 There are no new orders this year.

According to reports, "every week there are peers closed, and last year orders were 40% less than before." Cai Datong said, "basically, there are no new orders this year." This is the main reason why many peers fail.

Cai Datong's main business is the fluorescent vest and raincoat, which is a member of the European and American garment manufacturers. According to the local guild, this year's situation is worse than 2008. "In 2008, no export orders were available, at least there were many enquiries. This year, even the inquiry is low. " The fluorescent vest is relatively high in export clothing, and Cai Datong belongs to the fluorescent vest exporter. He also holds some old orders. He feels that the days are good. "More and more difficult to do, 20 years ago, processing a sweater for export can earn 30 yuan, and now the profit is only 1 yuan! If any bank makes money, there will be many people squeezing in, and an industry will become hard to earn as long as 3 years."

　　 Cost down

This month, the 3 year lease of the plant is expired. Cai Datong and the landlord renew the contract for 3 years. The rent jumped from 11.5 yuan per square metre to 18 yuan, up 50%, and the contract rose 8% per year thereafter.

Cai Datong should also consider the relocation of factories. 3 years ago, the factory moved from the main city to Cangshan district. According to the plan, after the completion of the Third Ring Road, the city will no longer retain the factory, and the factory will continue to move outward. "Maybe the cost will be lower in the future." Cai Da Tong comforted himself.

The surge of factory rent made Cai tdatong smile bitterly, and the retention of the workers made him play the spirit of twelve points. "Recruitment is difficult. We all call recruitment workers "buy workers". Old employees introduce new employees with incentives, new employees are not skilled before adding 20% salary. Because the new workers have not done much work on the basis of piecework, new staff will be lost if they are paid monthly according to their workload.

In the past, the recruitment advertisement wrote a monthly salary of 1800 yuan, which could recruit people; now write about 3000 yuan. Of course, the average monthly salary of workers is about 2700 yuan. Recruitment indicates that the dormitory is equipped with computers and broadband. This is the standard for the 90s. The age difference is very obvious in the factory. It's hard to raise a family. The middle-aged workers in the Yellow Sea have a piecework wage higher than that of the young people, but he dare not stop. He sighs and says, "everything is going up now, and children will spend money later."

Compared to 3 years ago, workers' salaries rose 70%, factory rents rose 50%, and profits fell. Fluorescent vest The gross profit margin was 10%, and now it has dropped to 5%. It is still a high profit in garment foreign trade, and many enterprises have already lost money.

　　 Closure of small factories

Last 2008, and 2009, the business broke out so that Tsai Tong had to subcontract orders to 6 colleagues. Last year, he cut down the subcontractors and made all his own production this year, so half of the 6 sub contractors have been closed down. Cai Datong's factory had 180 workers, and most of the three or four small factories were closed down.

Colleagues have closed factories, Cai Datong did not consider exports to domestic sales. He is insisting that he opened up an American customer in addition to the outdoors introduced by foreign trade companies. Recently, American customers came to say that the US economy is recovering. Cai Datong believed it, because the order of this customer is continuing.
