Wenzhou Strives For Survival And Ukraine Cooperation

For millions of Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises, 2008 is a "ridge".

Under the current international and domestic economic situation of crisis and complexity, how will Wenzhou respond to the "private economy vane"?

In the face of difficulties, Wenzhou launched the "policy combination boxing". It was once widely rumored that Wenzhou's 30 SMEs have nearly 20% stoppages, half stoppages and closures this year.

According to a more authoritative statistical data of the Wenzhou municipal government, by the end of August, Wenzhou's enterprises were closed or shut down by about 8%.

In the first half of this year, Wenzhou's industrial output value above Designated Size reached more than 2500 enterprises, accounting for about 40% of the total number of enterprises.

"The total number of SMEs in Wenzhou is 14, and according to the data I know, more than 4% of enterprises in Wenzhou collapsed last year, and this year it may rise to 5.9%."

A local official revealed.

In this regard, Li Xiongwei, director of the Wenzhou economic and Trade Commission's comprehensive economic operation Department, said that 5.9% should not be achieved, but how much is the inconvenient announcement, "in fact, it is difficult to accurately count the data in this area. Many Wenzhou people can't go on with this company, they will open another one, and the original one will not cancel it."

In the face of economic difficulties, it is not only a matter of business but also a matter of the party and government.

We must do everything possible to create favorable conditions for enterprise development and expand development space.

Shao Zhanwei, Secretary of Wenzhou Municipal Committee, said.

An unprecedented large-scale government support campaign has been launched in Wenzhou.

"Every cadre has to go out of business, every enterprise needs to see cadres". Since the beginning of this year, the leaders of Wenzhou have taken the lead, and the enterprises have gone deep into the investigation.

In order to enable difficult enterprises to move forward lightly, the Wenzhou municipal government has formulated a series of measures to reduce the operating costs of SMEs: 3% - two percentage points from the past 8% to two.

* - for the traditional export production enterprises, temporary losses but orders can be reduced or even exempt from the start of the second half of the year. For example, the leading enterprises and small and medium sized enterprises which are more difficult to operate can be regularly reduced or reduced by the declaration and approval, and the property tax of the leasing enterprises will be exempt from the use of the original factory buildings. The municipal financial arrangements will be allocated to 25 million yuan special funds for the current operating difficulties, but with good prospects for the development of the industry leading enterprises, high-quality export enterprises and the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises.

"This is no doubt a timely rain," said Zhou Dewen, President of the Wenzhou SME Development Association. "The central government is supporting the policy on the plight of the manufacturing industry, and the local government has helped in the practical difficulties, and the enterprises themselves have overcome it.

The most important thing is the help of local governments.

In the process of innovation and pformation, it is a representative base of "made in China". Wenzhou has produced 10% of the country's clothing, 20% of shoes, 60% of shavers, 65% of locks, 80% of glasses, 90% of metal casing lighters and 90% of watercolor pens. Wenzhou's low-voltage electrical appliances, hardware products, automobile and motorcycle accessories also play an important role in China.

However, after the Spring Festival this year, the once booming Wenzhou manufacturing plant seems to have been shut down overnight. All the streets and alleys are information about the pfer and rental of the factory buildings.

A crisis seems to be spreading rapidly in all areas of Wenzhou's manufacturing industry.

Lighter is a microcosm of "Wenzhou's manufacturing crisis".

Many lighters in Wenzhou fail to withstand the enormous pressure brought by the rising price of raw materials, and have closed down eight or nine in the past year, from five hundred or six hundred to less than one hundred now.

However, Zhou Dahu, President of the Wenzhou smoking appliances industry association, said that although the number of lighters in Wenzhou has been reduced a lot, the output of the lighter is still less than that of the past. The metal shell lighter still occupies eighty or ninety of the global market share.

A group of data from Wenzhou customs showed that in the first half of this year, Wenzhou exported 80 million 310 thousand lighters, and the value of export delivery was US $48 million 930 thousand, an increase of 20.02% over the same period last year. The average price of export lighters was 0.58 US dollars per year, up 22.37% over the same period last year.

Xu Jiping, executive vice mayor of Wenzhou, said that quite a number of small and medium-sized enterprises had ceased production, but these enterprises were mostly active in stopping production or reducing the scale of production. Only a small part of the passive bankruptcy occurred, some of them were "close the glasses factory and started selling glasses."

Moreover, most of the small and medium enterprises shutting down and shutting down are low grade products and "shuffled" in the competition.

The purpose of the Wenzhou municipal government's introduction of a series of "combined boxing" is not to let all "unable to sustain" enterprises to go on.

The government's position is still "limited government", "government enterprise linkage" is to guide enterprises to upgrade and pform, and change the way of growth.

In this sense, the current predicament is also an opportunity for Wenzhou's small and medium-sized enterprises to upgrade their industries.

More and more private enterprises, supported by policies, rely on traditional industries to focus on accelerating brand innovation and tap the potential of enterprise development from improving product quality.

According to statistics, as of the end of June, the city of Wenzhou has 113 well-known trademarks, an increase of 70 over the same period.

It is the biggest bottleneck for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises to solve the problem of financing difficultly.

Wenzhou, through frequent new moves in the financial industry, makes equity pledge and fixed assets become "live money" and actively pilot small loan companies to form a multi-level, three-dimensional Wenzhou style financial system.

In June this year, the Interim Measures for the registration of shares in Zhejiang Province, and the measures for the registration of shares in Wenzhou limited liability company ("trial implementation") have activated the "static asset", the stock right, which has always been neglected.

The equity in the hands can be mortgaged to obtain loans, which is a "way out" for the lack of funds for many small and medium-sized enterprises.

At the same time, the Wenzhou Housing Authority also issued three policies, namely, collectively owned industrial buildings, mortgage loans, mortgages for construction projects and mortgages, which are pferable mortgages. These three policy innovations provide a new path to ease the financing difficulties of enterprises.

Wenzhou's private capital with 600 billion yuan of private capital has been very active.

The pilot of small loan companies has become an attempt to guide private capital to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Wenzhou.

The pilot companies of small loan companies are mostly large manufacturing enterprises.

Li Yuesheng, the founder of the small loan company in Lucheng District of Wenzhou, and the chairman of Kaiyuan Group, believe that the small loan company can also play the effect of "one stone and two birds", that is, the large enterprises with abundant funds help small enterprises to pass through the difficulties and cultivate the growth of small enterprises, not only to supply them with funds, but also to impart their management experience to them.

Large state-owned banks are also unwilling to lag behind.

In September 16th, the Wenzhou branch of ICBC launched a small business loan innovation product designed to help small businesses tide over their difficulties.

The bank should be president of Guoguang. In the four months of the year, ICBC Wenzhou branch will adjust the credit policy timely and increase the credit intensity of large and small enterprises.

This year, the bank will also increase the special credit support of 2 billion yuan to support the development of local small businesses.

According to the data of Wenzhou central sub branch of the people's Bank of China, the balance of RMB loans reached 301 billion 205 million yuan in the end of 6, an increase of 14.9% over the same period last year.

Since July, the growth rate of new loans in Wenzhou city has been rebounded in the month, and the growth rate in August and September is still rising.

The "black wind" has encouraged the enterprises to "go out" and the black and blind island of China and Russia has just recovered for less than a week. Several foreign trade and economic and trade officials in Wenzhou have embarked on the new eastern territory of China under the leadership of a deputy mayor.

Su Xiangqing, director of the Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of foreign trade and economic cooperation, believes that the development of foreign trade and economic cooperation must take effective measures in a timely manner to speed up the pace of "going global".

It is difficult for many enterprises in Wenzhou to pick up orders from overseas customers. "No orders are slow, orders are death", resulting in a decline in export growth.

In order to promote the steady growth of the export of SMEs, Wenzhou has accelerated the export tax rebate progress, and increased the incentives for export growth enterprises to help exporters tide over the difficulties.

At the beginning of August, Wenzhou also launched a number of supporting measures to encourage open economic development in Wenzhou in 2008. For the first time, Wenzhou established an incentive fund for the development of an open economy. The total local government allocated 130 million yuan to support and guide the development of open enterprises.

In late August, the Wenzhou foreign trade and economic cooperation delegation formally signed a cooperation intention with the Uzbekistan Leather Association and the government of the state of the state of the river. The government and enterprises jointly set up a new platform for Wenzhou private enterprises to expand the Central Asian market.

According to the agreement reached between the two sides, Wenzhou private enterprises will set up a comprehensive industrial complex in Uzbekistan, which will be located in the state of Wenzhou, and will import advanced light industry technology into Uzbekistan. At the same time, we will cooperate to develop the rich resources of the local area and aim at the emerging market of "five Central Asian countries".

In the first half of this year, 32 new overseas institutions were invested in Wenzhou, with a total investment of US $39 million 360 thousand, an increase of 80% over the same period last year, which has become a bright spot.

It is also understood that in order to help enterprises to "go out" better, Wenzhou is studying guidance documents, establishing and improving the "going out" service system, support system, promotion system, management system and risk prevention system, and strive to cultivate a number of Wenzhou local multinationals after 5 to 10 years of efforts.
