Most Of The Workers In Shoe Factories Are Rural Surplus Labor Force.

Zhang Huiju, a 46 year old peasant woman, looks younger than her peers.

One morning in late March, she started off from the home of Wa Wu Village in Daxin Town, Fugou County, and went to work in an electric car 20 kilometers away from the county seat.

She is no longer a mere peasant.

In addition to planting, she worked as a small group leader in a shoe factory in a county town with a monthly income of more than 2000 yuan.

Zhang Huiju's shoemaking technology was learned 20 years ago.

In 1995, she worked as a "working girl" in a shoe factory in Guangdong, earning hundreds of yuan a month and returning home once a year.

At that time, she thought, how many days would it be nice to make shoes at home?

20 years passed, and Zhang Huiju looked forward to such an opportunity.

In July of last year, Hu Xiaowu, a Guangdong shoe manufacturer in Fugou, went home to start her own business, and invested in the construction of "Henan Hong Hong Shoes Co., Ltd.".

Zhang Huiju was the first to sign up for the recruitment notice.

Ten li eight villagers also came to sign up.

Now, Zhang Huiju and hundreds of fellow townsman are "worker colleagues".

At 12 o'clock lunchroom, the clean and tidy restaurant was full of busy morning people.

Potato meat, celery bean sprouts, steamed bread gruel, the food is rich and delicious, let Zhang Huiju and colleagues eat with relish.

After dinner, they can rest for 1 hours.

10 hours of work per day is not tiring for those who often work hard at farm work.

The average monthly income of 2000 yuan per person makes these "part-time workers" very happy.

Their home, the nearest shoe factory, is less than 1 miles away, the farthest 20 kilometers away.

While working to earn money, take care of the family.

During the busy season, the company will also take a holiday to make them busy farm work, which is the "welfare treatment" of the shoe factory.

Zhang Huiju's "Henan nine Hong Shoes Co., Ltd.", all for the order production, the other side is the United States "VIONIC" brand.

Cut, peel and shape...

After entering the workshop, it will take nearly 80 hours to complete the production of a pair of shoes in about 1.5 hours.

Zhang Huiju did not know how to read "VIONIC", nor understood what it meant. She only knew that her shoes would be worn by foreigners, which made her proud of having never been abroad.

In the face of the factory price of RMB 200 yuan and a pair of sandals, Zhang Huiju said she could not afford to wear, "that money enough to buy two bags of fertilizer."

Zhang Huiju himself felt a bit sorry that he could not put on his shoes to make his own shoes.

Tan Zhenping, 40, is Zhang Huiju.

Manager.

Standing in the company's product exhibition hall, he told the Dahe newspaper that the export price of a pair of shoes is RMB 200 yuan. In the US and Canada, the selling price is nearly RMB 500 yuan. If "export is sold domestically" and then turn back to China, it will cost thousands of yuan. "If we have the ability and conditions to develop our own brand in the future, that pair of shoes will create more value for us".

In Xihua County, which is about 50 kilometers away from Fugou, there is a shoe company called "Kai Hong", invested by SAMOA (Samoa) Fu Lian International Co., Ltd.

The shoe factory, which covers an area of 103 mu, can produce 6 million pairs of fashionable women's shoes in one year. The products are mainly exported to Europe and the United States, and can produce 360 million yuan per year.

And the main force to create these output is the company's 4500 Xihua farmers.

According to the statistics of Zhoukou, the city has located 35 shoe making enterprises, forming 20 million pairs of production capacity and 2 billion yuan annual output value, forming a shoemaking industrial cluster with the leading role of "Siwake Hong". Footwear exports occupy half of Henan.

In his eyes, Tan Zhenping was used to eating stewed noodles in Fugou, Henan.

His impression of Zhoukou is "good, flat terrain, convenient pportation, and most importantly, abundant labor resources".

On any map of China, you can see Henan at a glance.

No magnifying glass at all. Zhoukou is in the southeast corner of Henan area.

The area is large and small. Under the jurisdiction of 7 counties, one city, one district, the population is about 10000000. Most of them are farmers.

Except for those who work outside the country, Zhoukou has a large number of surplus labor force every year.

These ones here

Basically, as in Zhang Huiju's case, there are elderly children in the family who can not go far, but can only stay at home.

As a result, shoe manufacturers in Guangdong, Fujian and other coastal areas valued this, and fought in the mainland of Henan and Zhoukou.

On the other hand, there are shoe manufacturers in coastal areas.

On the other hand, the mainland's left behind labor force is looking forward to earning money by working, and the shoe factory's move to Zhoukou has achieved a win-win situation.

After more than half a year of contact, Tan Zhenping outlined the image of Henan people: "sensible, straightforward, practical and capable."

It is worthwhile to choose a factory in Zhoukou.

As the host of Zhoukou, Tan Zhenping has also given generous returns, giving policy support in many respects.

Guo Faliang, deputy secretary of the Party committee of the Fugou industrial agglomeration area, said, "using a good Indus tree not only brings Phoenix, but also keeps Phoenix."

"Shoemaking industry is labor-intensive industry, our traditional rural labor force is the most abundant, so we have the advantage of attracting the footwear industry, which can not be surpassed."

Guo Faliang said with pride.
