How Can Foshan Enterprises Survive In The Age Of Survival Machines?

Guangdong province commerce department released the latest statistics, in 2016, Guangdong general trade accounted for the first time over processing trade. In Foshan Zong Shen Biao Qiao's welding workshop, the robot has replaced the traditional welder as early as four or five years ago. "A four axle welding robot costs about 100 thousand yuan, which can generally replace the workload of a skilled welder. If the monthly salary of a skilled welder is 8000 yuan, a little more than a year can be returned. As the general manager of this motorcycle factory, Yu Zi Qiang has a clear account in mind. Over the past 15 years, the once famous processing and trading enterprises have gradually moved out of Foshan, and Zonschen Biagiolius has come down. Unlike the year when Puli moved out of Foshan, the enterprises left behind basically rely on "self help" to win the opportunity of rebirth.

Together with Li Huicheng in Foshan Sanshui. From the first production alarm clock to earn the first barrel of life, and now to provide a synthetic material for an international first-rate luxury brand suitcase, Li Huicheng's career transformation trajectory is a microcosm of Foshan and even Guangdong's foreign trade changes. In January 17, 2017, the Guangdong provincial chamber of Commerce released the latest statistics. In 2016, the general trade of Guangdong achieved 2 trillion and 730 billion yuan in imports and exports, an increase of 2.2%, accounting for 43.4% of the total import and export volume of the province, accounting for the first time over the processing trade (38.8%).

This is a historic transcendence, which means that Guangdong is changing from the mode of "foreign-funded enterprises + processing trade" relying on simple processing to a higher level of "private enterprises + general trade" mode, which is the latest answer given by Guangdong's foreign trade in the examination paper of "steady growth and structural adjustment". "In fact, this transcendence is expected," the Guangdong provincial chamber of Commerce in an interview with the Times reporter, said, "as early as January 2015 in the monthly data, the general trade volume has exceeded the processing trade volume. In addition, the proportion of processing trade data has also been declining.

Guangdong provincial commerce department relevant leaders said that the next step, the provincial government will adhere to the "steady growth and structural adjustment" pace, help Guangdong processing trade enterprises transformation and upgrading. If enterprises are to create new value, the government must create new environment, and give enterprises a good environment through resource integration, so that enterprises can create the greatest value. Through the efforts of both enterprises and governments, we can cut off the already solidified and backward industrial chain and establish a new and stronger industrial chain.

Do you remember the Vespa that pike and Hepburn ride in Roman holiday? Its manufacturer is Italy than Acho. In 2004, Italy's biyjo group and China Zong Shen industry group jointly reorganized and established Zonschen Biaggio to produce high-tech motorcycles. Today, it is the largest single hundred processing trade enterprise in Foshan. "A lot of factories have moved out, because the factory opened here has made no money. Pearl River Delta The manpower cost advantage here has gradually disappeared. " Yu Ziqiang introduced.

Times weekly reporter visited a number of manufacturing enterprises, learned that an ordinary worker's wage level is probably more than 3000 yuan per month, 10 years ago, this figure is only about 1500 yuan, "now, a senior welder's monthly salary, no 10000 yuan can not come down." For processing enterprises, the prospect of a good life, which was originally based on cheap and low-level labor, is gone forever.

Even if you can afford a "ten thousand yuan", it is hard to find qualified welders. "Now it is difficult to recruit qualified welders. Without welders, the process can not go down, and the whole production line will not work, resulting in greater losses." Mr. Yu Yu Qiang recalled that when he decided to start a robot job, there were different opinions in the factory. "Big expenditure is bound to cause tension in operating cash flow, but we have carefully compared that the life cycle of a robot is 3-5 years. If we take 4 years as an average, we can calculate the cost of skill training and the loss caused by the stoppage and shutdown of the production line. The cost of a robot is 6.8 yuan more than that of an ordinary worker."

In addition to enabling robots, Zong Shen Biao Qiao's another big self-help measure is "export to domestic sale". In 2005, Zong Shen's products sold almost one hundred percent to Europe. Since 2010, the domestic high-end motorcycle market is becoming more mature, and the wave of consumption upgrading is coming. "Ten years ago, the demand for motorcycles was a substitute, so they all bought cheap domestic cars. But now, with the increase of residents' income, more people are willing to pay for their interests and feelings. Now we have quite a lot of iron powder in the motorcycle industry. "

In 2016, China's economy The characteristics of consumer spending are more obvious. The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth is 64.6%, higher than that of 4.9 percentage points in 2015. This year, Zong Shen Biao Qiao sold 40 thousand cars in the country, accounting for nearly 20% of the total capacity. Among the 200 thousand motorcycles produced by Zong Shen Biao Qiao, the most technical components of the motorcycle are Zong Shen's factory in Chongqing. It is precisely the use of components with domestic independent core competitiveness to make Zonschen Biaggio say goodbye to the low end survival mode of "processing trade = cheap labor + imported components".

According to Yu Ziqiang, the imported parts of the company are largely based on cost reduction considerations. Taking the imported carburetor imported by Zong Shen Biao Qiao as an example, the cost is about 200 yuan, accounting for less than 3% of vehicle cost. If the domestic parts are used, the price change space is only a few dollars, but the R & D cost and the quality test cost will add up to about 300000, plus the cost of the upstream manufacturers to mold, and the cost will be much greater than the imported parts. There is no difference in quality between the domestic products and the imported parts. Instead, importing parts will make the total cost lower. It is a basic rule of business for businessmen to pursue profits instead of profits.

And Shenzhen, Dongguan Compared with other places, although the scale of processing trade in Foshan is small, the quality and speed of transformation are bright. Xiaomei, a responsible person in the foreign investment section of Foshan Business Bureau, told the times weekly reporter that the speed of transformation and upgrading of processing trade enterprises is positively related to the degree of localization of enterprises. "Foshan's processing trade enterprises, many have local capital background. These enterprises are rooted in Foshan, so in the face of pressure of transformation and upgrading, they are more willing to transform rather than move out. "It can be said that the remaining processing trade enterprises in Foshan are enterprises with core competitiveness. Eliminating the low-end labor-intensive manufacturing industry, leaving the competitive enterprises is the most direct embodiment of the transformation and optimization of Guangdong's foreign trade structure.
