Wenzhou Shoe Industry And Other Enterprises Are In A Dilemma.

In the first half of this year, the delivery value of Wenzhou's above designated industries reached an increase of 3.4% over the same period last year, an increase of 18.9 percentage points lower than that of the previous year. "The current predicament faced by Wenzhou's small and medium enterprises (stock market) is a national problem, not a unique one in Wenzhou."

There is nothing wrong with the development model of Wenzhou. "

Ma Jinlong, President of Wenzhou Economic Association, told reporters in his office of Fei Xia Road.

Outside Ma Jinlong's office window is downtown Wenzhou.

In the superfast Star City of the economy, there are some luxury sports cars passing through the busy streets.

In the first half of the year, the growth of GDP grew lower than the national average, the lowest level since 1991. In the first half of the year, the total industrial output value above the scale was increased in Zhejiang province. In the first half of the year, the investment in fixed assets in the whole society was at the end of Zhejiang...

Hidden behind this phenomenon is that the Wenzhou model has quietly pformed from "business to work" into "capital guerrilla forces".

Ruan Zhonglin, the "fall" enterprise in the economic adjustment, finally closed the shoe factory which has been working for 20 years, which is his main investment at present.

At the best time, his Ruian Zhongxin Shoes Co., Ltd. "assets over 10 million yuan, more than 280 employees, 25 technicians, 2 domestic advanced production lines of shoes, and 1 million 300 thousand pairs of annual production capacity."

Ruan Zhonglin has a footwear brand called "three Ding", which mainly produces men's casual shoes and gentlemen's leather shoes. The factory is located in the industrial base of Xindi Town, Xincheng Town, Ruian.

The industrial divisions in Wenzhou are mostly divided by towns. The town of Xincheng town basically produces shoes. Ruan is considered to be a large surname in the locality.

"A lot of shoe companies around the world have shut down. We are small and medium-sized enterprises, which are smaller than us, and we have already closed them."

Ruan Zhonglin told reporters this.

"The best time to do about 1000000 pairs a year, we do our own trade, through foreign trade companies to export some."

Ruan Zhonglin's voice dropped.

He said that the price of raw materials increased, the economy was sluggish, and sales continued to decline. In the end, businesses that had been operating for 20 years were hastily closed.

It's hard to find out how many shoe companies in Wenzhou are closing.

Reporters learned from the shoe leather industry association of Wenzhou, there are still 2600 footwear enterprises in a state of survival.

In 2005, the media reported that there were nearly 4000 shoe companies in Wenzhou, with about 400000 employees and 600 million pairs of leather shoes annually.

It is also necessary to find out how many enterprises in Wenzhou have "fallen" in this round of economic adjustment, but the data that may not be accurate from the government are quite alarming.

The Wenzhou economic and Trade Commission made an investigation and statistics on 15521 small and medium-sized enterprises in 31 industrial strong towns and development zones in the early July.

The results showed that there were 1259 enterprises that stopped, half stopped and closed down, accounting for 8.1% of the total survey, an increase of 2.1 percentage points over the first quarter.

The industries that stop, semi stop and fail are textile, footwear, clothing, printing, plastic products, spectacles, electrical appliances, handicrafts and tanning. Among them, the number of bankrupt enterprises in shoes, printing, clothing and other industries occupies the top three, accounting for 56.8%, 8.8% and 6% of the number of bankrupt enterprises.

"There has been a sign of weakness in the once glorious Wenzhou characteristic industry."

A local economist said so.

Behind the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the market with signs of weakness, there are also some disturbing signs in Wenzhou's market.

In July 2008, the Taizhou people in Zhejiang went to Wenzhou's Yongjia Qiaotou town again. Two years ago, he once sold goods in this town called "button city and zipper".

At that time, there were more than 560 button enterprises in Qiaotou town, with an annual output value of more than 1 billion 300 million yuan, occupying 80% of the domestic market and 60% of the international market.

The road sign of "button city and zipper town" remains the same, but the bustle and bustle of the past no longer exist.

Ah Feng has some feelings.

Chen Yanxing, a taxi driver, said that he had been driving a taxi between Qiaotou and gull North for 10 years. He had been serving the clients of Qiaotou in the field. But in recent years, there was no way to do business at bridge head. The customers were less than a year, and many customers never came again even once.

"Most of the enterprises have brought the finished products to Yiwu."

Chen Yanxing said.

In the Qiaotou commercial town, the best shop in the lot is only a few buttons and zipper enterprises supporting the facade, and many other shops are linked with the brand of the consignment Department.

In the small square of the commercial city, there are all kinds of vehicles lying in disorder. The most prominent one is a bridgehead Yiwu double deck bus.

The small commodity market, once proud by most Wenzhou people, is on the decline.

Behind these markets, there is a group of embarrassing data. In the first half of this year, the delivery value of Wenzhou's industries above Designated Size reached 30 billion 709 million yuan, an increase of 3.4% over the same period last year, an increase of 18.9 percentage points over the same period, and the contribution rate of exports to output growth dropped from 22% in the same period last year to 5.6%.

Especially in June, the delivery value of industrial exports above Designated Size for the first time showed negative growth, with an increase of 5.8% over the same period last year.

Statistics from relevant departments in Wenzhou showed that the export growth rate of Wenzhou's eyeglasses, lighters, locks, pens, garments and other export industries were all in a downward trend from 1 to June this year.

The macro background or only provides the data of accelerating decline opportunities. In June, Wenzhou's industrial, investment, export and financial indicators increased by 6.9%, - 9. 4%, 14.2% and 11.1%, respectively, down 7.3, 17.8, 6.4 and 14.6 percentage points from 1 to May.

"(Wenzhou) the overall risk of economic downturn is gradually gathering and showing."

There was a startling conclusion in the analysis of the economic performance of the Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of statistics in the first half of the year.

In fact, Wenzhou's economy has been showing signs of decline for many years.

"The earliest discovery of a downward trend in Wenzhou's economy was in 2000."

Zhang Renshou, an economics professor at Zhejiang Gongshang University, told reporters.

"At that time, many data showed that 2000 is a turning point, whether from the speed of development or the adjustment of industrial structure, for Wenzhou, it has begun to enter a period of stagnation."

Zhang Renshou said.

In the first half of 2003, the growth rate of GDP in Wenzhou ranked the second in Zhejiang and 7 in August.

By 2006, Wenzhou's gross domestic product (GDP) was 183 billion 438 million yuan, an increase of 13.3% over the same period last year. Compared with the growth rate, the GDP growth rate has been lower than that of the Yangtze River Delta city by 1.4 percentage points, ranking fifteenth in the Yangtze River Delta and second in Zhejiang.

Some experts pointed out that the tightening of macroeconomic regulation and the world economic environment has provided an opportunity for the Wenzhou economy to accelerate its decline.

In 1980s, a famous sociologist, Mr. Fei Xiaotong summed up the "Wenzhou model", and put forward that Wenzhou is a small commodity and a big market.

But in the evolution of this mode, Wenzhou gradually deviated from its original development track.

Zhou Dewen, the advocator of the Wenzhou model and the chairman of the local SME Development Association, has been sending messages to reporters across the country indefatigable.

The content of the mail is how Wenzhou's capital moves to and outside the territory.

He did not realize that when Wenzhou capital was too persistent to satisfy its own profit drive, the Wenzhou model had changed from "business to labor" to "capital guerrilla".

The Red Dragonfly Group, located in Yongjia, Wenzhou, has gone through a long period of "Wenzhou style development".

Qian Jinbo, chairman of the board, once told the media: "if we do not diversify, there will be limited space for development, so the rest of our money will find a way to sell".

At the most time, the diversification of red dragonflies was once involved in real estate, department stores, finance, education and clothing.

Although Jin Bo put forward a plan to return to the main business in 2005, people in the industry say that the red dragonfly has missed many opportunities for development.

"Wenzhou capital cruising inside and outside is seeking opportunities for profit everywhere."

In the face of huge profits, many enterprises in Wenzhou are concerned about whether the investment can get the maximum return in the short term.

Related to this characteristic, the pillar industry in Wenzhou has been confined to shoes, clothing, glasses, lighters, plastic products, general equipment and other industries for several years.

"Old Wenzhou is mainly light textile industry, and industrialization pformation has not seized the opportunity.

So the city's economy is difficult to pform.

Zhang Renshou said.

It can be said that the impulse of profit has made Wenzhou artificial Wenzhou model and Wenzhou people have betrayed Wenzhou mode.

When Wenzhou people get rich capital through business, they no longer focus on entering the industrial field, and accumulate and develop in this field. Wenzhou has already doomed today's "predicament".
