Yantai's larger underwear enterprise Chen Weiqiang, chairman of Xinyi underwear group, told reporters that the situation was good in the past few years, and the annual sales volume could increase by thirty or forty. But in recent years, development has encountered bottlenecks, and the growth rate has slowed down a lot. "Last year around 14%, only 11% this year.

"There are more than 60 processes in a lingerie, and the harder it is, the harder it is to recruit people."

Du Chengping said that during the rush season, customers hurried to rush orders, and factories were not enough. Besides allowing workers to work overtime, they could only take fewer orders.

Chen Weiqiang, chairman of Xinyi underwear, also told reporters that there are nearly 3000 workers in his company, but there are more than 300 people in the gap, and the cost of labor is soaring every year.

It is understood that the average salary of Xinyi's first-line employees in 2008 was 1200-1300 yuan, and now it has risen to around 2800 yuan.

< p > Du Chengping said that its company has more than 1000 brand chain stores nationwide, and the biggest hit is the "electricity supplier".

"For example, we sell an underwear to an agent at 60 percent off of the tag price. Some agents sell more underwear in order to sell more products, and then sell them online at forty percent off or even lower prices. Many customers try underwear in the physical store, remember the models and buy them online."

He Bingxiang said that due to the high cost of labor, many enterprises have moved their factories to places like Zhaoqing.

But everywhere is not the best way to solve the problem.

This processing factory belongs to the underwear Association and is invested by various underwear enterprises. Each lingerie enterprise can make the processing plant to process according to its own annual demand quantity, and the factory profit also makes the enterprises pay dividends.

"This will not only solve the difficulty of employment, but also solve the problem of vicious competition among enterprises."

At present, his idea has been unanimously agreed by the 36 members of the association.

< p > "if you fight like now, you won't get good resources first, and you may also lead to vicious competition."
