The First Batch Of Resumed Textile Enterprises Is Less Than 1/3, And Small And Medium-Sized Enterprises Are Struggling To Survive.

Gradual resumption in epidemic prevention and control phase

It is a challenge that the government and enterprises must face together.

In February 11th, Yongan textile started construction.

In February 11th, the staff of the ocean textile group worked in the production workshop.

Yesterday, textile factories in Shandong, Wuxi, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hebei, Shanghai and other regions started production, mainly involving raw materials, yarns, fabrics, grey fabrics, chemical fibers and so on.

Since the start of February 10th, the epidemic is continuing. After investigation by cotton and cotton net staff, some textile enterprises have begun to resume work yesterday, but there are still many difficulties for enterprises to return to work.

"However, some factories have not stopped production since the year ago, such as bactericidal wipes, hand sanitizers, and part of the production of protective clothing.

Similarly, a fabric factory in Nantong reflects cotton and cotton net: at present, the field workers are unable to return to posts. The factory area also issued a notice that all migrant workers were not allowed to enter the area, and strictly restricted the access of vehicles and personnel in the area. At the same time, through many facet communication, some foreign employees' homes were also closed to the city and blocked roads, so that they could not return smoothly. When the factory starts, it will organize the workers in the area to resume work, and start the work slowly.

Besides the shortage of manpower, the shortage of protective materials also directly limits the return of enterprises. The most seen in WeChat cotton group is looking for protective articles, especially masks. The textile industry belongs to the traditional manufacturing industry, which is different from the Internet Co, and the sales department can also receive the regular orders, but the front-line workers can not realize telecommuting at all. The textile industry is a labor-intensive traditional industry. During the duration of the epidemic, it is especially difficult to protect the factory space with close space, dense personnel and frequent contacts. "Many entrepreneurs are worried that once the risk of an outbreak is disastrous, the enterprise can not afford to, and may go bankrupt directly.

In addition to the pre protection preparation, small and medium-sized entities are more difficult to work. For reasons we all know, a factory can not be the whole industrial chain from raw material to cost, most of which are part of the industrial chain. Both the procurement and sale areas are all parts of the country, and the local area may have started, but the rest of the areas are in the extension of reworking time, the upstream and downstream are not equal, the whole industrial chain can not work at all.

"At this stage, epidemic prevention and control is still the first task." The color of the deputy director of the Institute of economic policy, Peking University, said that the national policy needs to maintain a balance between the epidemic prevention and control and the resumption of the economy. First, we must ensure safety. "In general, the resumption of work after the epidemic will be a very gradual process, and the proportion of the first batch of resumed enterprises is hardly more than 1/3".

"How can workers return to work if workers can't get in?

No one is an isolated island. When the city is closed, you will have revelry, and how hard it will be if you return to work.

Hubei Xiantao has an advantage in the field of protective clothing and medical masks. The annual output of respirators is about 10 billion 800 million (after which it is renamed the annual output of 1 million 80 thousand kinds of masks). Public information shows that Xiantao is one of the important places of production of Chinese masks, but many factories have already been on holiday, and now they are in a state of shutdown. Only a few factories have resumed production.

Although there are factories for workers to pay 870 yuan / day high salaries, but due to the closure of the city, the outbreak of continuous fermentation and other factors, workers are still difficult to return to work. Xiaofeng, a small and micro enterprise responsible for the production of masks in Xiantao, has been on holiday since mid January. According to the local folk custom, factories usually start after fifteen (February 8th), but there are still five signs of starting.

"To work or to wait for the workers, if the workers do not come, I say there is no point in going to work. If the workers are far away from the place, now they go back, the road is closed, and they can not return. Xiao Feng said. It is reported that Hubei has implemented measures to seal the city, including Wuhan and Xiantao.

"Many factories and workers are in the countryside, but there are many people who are unable to return because of the closure of the village. Many foreign vehicles can not be driven directly under high speed.

One side is not allowed, one side is not allowed to enter.

With the resumption of post holiday period approaching, since February 5th, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other places have issued notices in succession, calling for the return of non local licences to local residents, especially for migrant workers in Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangdong and other key epidemic areas.

In February 7th, the Wuxi city epidemic prevention and control emergency command issued a circular on "further strengthening the control and control of the flow of foreign personnel during the epidemic prevention and control." The notice also warned that those who came to the tin without permission were urged to return, and all those who did not listen would be dealt with severely in accordance with the relevant provisions of the circular on the prevention and control of new coronavirus in accordance with the law and the epidemic situation of pneumonia to ensure the people's lives, health and safety.

The legality of the notice is not to be mentioned at the moment, so the persuasion is not intended to be invaded by invisible foreign viruses.

Many textile enterprises now need to sign the epidemic prevention and control undertaking to ensure risks and responsibilities. "To tell the truth, enterprises dare not take responsibility, nor can they afford this responsibility".

It is the consensus of the government and enterprises to strictly control the risk of the enterprises after the resumption of work. However, it is still very difficult for the enterprises to land the prevention and control measures. At present, many announcements have been issued to require redevelopment enterprises to prepare adequate protective materials such as respirators, disinfectant and protective clothing, and sign the undertaking of epidemic prevention and control.

In February 11th, the State Council held a press conference on the joint prevention and control mechanism of new coronavirus infection. Cong Liang, member of the national development and Reform Commission and secretary general, said that at present, other areas outside Hubei are gradually resuming work and production. Enterprises should equip them with disinfectant, body gun and other materials, distribute protective masks and other protective products for workers, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers.

The problem facing enterprises is that when the protection materials are in short supply and where to prepare for them, "the biggest consumption mask is now not available for money." Most factories do not have reserves at ordinary times, and now there is no mass purchase channel. "Without protection materials, they will not be able to start work, nor dare they start."

SME survival

Under the pressure of cash flow, a number of small and medium-sized enterprises have begun to approach the red line of survival.

On the night of February 6th, Li Chao, the founder of the IT training institution, "brother Lian education", issued an open letter saying that due to the impact of the epidemic, the Beijing campus stopped enrollment and the staff were disbanded immediately.

In February 7th, a well-known KTV "king of songs of Beijing" issued "a letter from the general manager to all staff", saying that because of the epidemic situation, the labor contract was terminated with more than 200 employees in February 9th. If 30% employees disagree with this plan, the company will go bankrupt and liquidate.

Small and micro enterprises in manufacturing industry are also facing a crisis of survival. Even if it runs only a small and medium-sized chemical plant, Zheng Long will face a fixed charge of about 300000 yuan per month and 600 thousand yuan of wages. Because he did not have the qualification to produce medical materials, his factory was not listed among the first batch of reopening enterprises, and he had to postpone the resumption date until March 1st.

"Zero revenue, there are nearly a million yuan a month's cost. Now it is completely inverted by the old business that has been saved in the past few years. "Let's go on like this for two months."

Rent and manpower are the two biggest costs. Now there are hundreds of small and medium-sized enterprises in the park. Because the factory buildings belong to the private sector, they not only enjoy the concession of rent reduction for state-owned enterprises, but also increase the annual rent by 5%. "It is difficult for SMEs to get preferential policies for rent reduction. Many park owners have expressed appeals for rent reduction and no response has been received.

In contrast, the hope of reducing the burden of small and medium enterprises owners is more dependent on the reduction of labor costs. Since February 7th, the Ministry of human resources and social affairs has issued 12 opinions to support enterprises' resumption of work and resumption of production. Local governments have followed up very quickly. In many articles, they have expressed a deep understanding of the current difficulties of enterprises, supported the negotiation of wages between difficult enterprises and their employees, and also considered the disposition of "special circumstances such as" layoffs "and" staff insisting not to return to posts ".

During the epidemic period, some places issued a policy of "double pay for work at home and work overtime" and "employees pay at home to see their children's wages". The pressure on enterprises has doubled. "I hope the government can really see the difficulties of enterprises and provide real help."

According to the reissued guidance document issued by many enterprises, most of the first batch of resumed enterprises are related to the production of necessary materials by the epidemic prevention, and then will gradually promote the resumption of other industrial enterprises, service enterprises and construction enterprises.

The gradual resumption of the epidemic prevention and control stage is a challenge for both the government and the enterprises. "March 1st may be a huge watershed." Color prediction, if the end of February has not yet resumed work, a large number of SMEs will approach the red line of survival.

According to the market rule, when the second industry basically returns to work for half a month to a month, the market will gradually stabilize, and demand will rebound. The third industry will gradually restore its normal order. "The three industry of catering, entertainment and service is most seriously affected by the epidemic." "The third industry is directly affected by market sentiment, forced to stop business for a long time, and the pressure of survival is great, and the survival situation is more severe."

But before the epidemic comes to a real turning point, prevention and control of epidemics is still the top priority. "Prevention and control of epidemic situation is the prerequisite for all work." The color indicates that when the epidemic situation is stable, the state will naturally introduce more preferential policies to the small and medium-sized enterprises, including taxation, credit, low interest rates and interest free. "The policy will be gradually introduced and landed, but in the crucial stage of preventing and controlling the epidemic, enterprises still need to resist the pressure and live".
