The Small And Medium-Sized Textile Enterprises That Live In Crevice: Guangzhou Thirteen Row, Hangzhou Sijiqing, China University...

Affected by the outbreak of the new coronavirus, most of the industries are still at a standstill stage, and so do the textile and garment industries. From the perspective of textile industry, a small number of enterprises in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have resumed work since the beginning of 10, but most enterprises are cautious and still in the wait-and-see stage.

As we all know, the textile industry will eventually serve the garment industry. Textile people are very concerned about the current situation of the garment industry. Today, let's take a look at the fashion industry.

Guangzhou thirteen line and Sijiqing as China's largest clothing wholesale city, under the influence of the epidemic, is also in a state of closure. It is reported that the opening time of the thirteen line of Guangzhou's current notice has been postponed from January seventeen (February 10th) to twenty-eight (February 21st) of the first month, and the opening time of Sijiqing in Hangzhou has also been postponed to March 1st.

The boss of the thirteen row and one stall admitted that under the influence of the new coronavirus epidemic situation, the clothing store in spring could not be sold properly, the shops could not normally open, and the loss of 5. 6 million was normal, and those who owned two or three stalls in Guangzhou would lose millions.

As we all know, the thirteen lines and the stalls of Sijiqing can be said to be small amounts of money, and this sudden disaster has impacted the normal economic order. This is the time when spring clothes are hot, but now they are very cold. Even if online trading can be done, logistics has not returned to normal, making many buyers and retailers cautious. During the Spring Festival, the pressure on the stall owners comes from inventory and rent.

　 In tears, Guangzhou Zhongda textile city stops, and merchants lose 1 million every month.

"This epidemic has a great impact. My family has a 200 thousand rent per year in the middle and large stalls. Now the China Textile City has not yet opened the notice, it has been postponed indefinitely, and every day is very anxious."

February 10th is the day when many enterprises in Guangzhou go back to work, but this does not include Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen has a stall in the Wufeng District of Zhongda Textile City. The business of doing 100 thousands of business a month ago is very easy and ordinary. Today, it has not been started. In February, the loss could be about 1000000.

"Now even if there is order in hand, it is useless. No worker can come, no one can do it."

How long can you hold on?

"If the epidemic situation fades in June, the cash flow in my hands can be sustained, which means a great loss."

Located in Haizhuqu District, Zhongda textile is one of the largest number of workers in Hubei, Guangzhou. More than 50 thousand garment workers from Hubei are concentrated in this village, so this has become the focus area of Guangzhou epidemic prevention and control.

As early as February 5th, the China International Innovation Valley Management Service Center issued a notice on the delayed opening of the China textile business circle.

February 11th is the start time of the three major printing and dyeing areas in Shishi.

On the morning of 9 a.m., the leaders of the village cadres and the village committee of the village of Xiang Zhi went to the Shishi jindsheng bleaching and dyeing weaving Co., Ltd., and again inspected the implementation of the epidemic prevention and control system of the company.

Zhou Pingbo, chief executive of the enterprise, told reporters that at present, there are more than 50 employees returning to the factory. In accordance with the regulations and arrangements for the resumption of work arrangements, they have carried out body temperature measurements, return to factory lines and personal details registration. At the same time, on the one hand, we should improve the cleaning frequency and focus on disinfecting and killing factories, elevator rooms, switches and so on. On the other hand, employees are encouraged to pack meals to avoid large-scale clustering.

Zhou Pingbo, chief executive of Shishi jindsheng bleaching and dyeing weaving Co., Ltd.: the first employee came to register first. After signing up, we first gave him the temperature. When the temperature was normal, he was allowed to enter the factory. After entering the factory, he went to the personnel department for second times to register, and then sent the name list to the town government. The second is to settle the staff first. Some employees rent their houses in Dabao village, and help employees to get temporary permits for them.

Zhou Pingbo said that the production side is that some of the orders had not been completed last year. After waiting for the employees to come, they would first make a part of the orders which were not completed last year. At present, all preparations for the resumption of production are in an orderly manner, but the epidemic prevention and control work is still not relaxed at this stage. For this reason, they will also adjust the production and operation plan in good time.

It is reported that there are more than 30 enterprises in the Dabao printing and dyeing centralized control area. According to the requirements, enterprises should meet the working conditions during the peak start period, such as the normal monitoring of staff health, and the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures. Due to outbreaks of production orders or near default dates due to the epidemic, they can apply to the towns (streets) for reporting.

In February 10th, before the official resumption of work, Foshan Zhixing textile and Garment Co., Ltd. had conducted all the staff investigation and division, and informed employees not to return at the time of the outbreak.

Ouyang Xiao, director of Foshan Zhixing Textile Garments Co., Ltd., said: "our employees are basically factories, dormitories and canteens. They are not allowed to move around in dormitories, workshops or even posts. They are reminded to communicate with their mobile phones as much as possible so as to reduce the face-to-face contact between employees."

Sichuan Yilong, after completing the declaration and approval of the factories, provinces, municipalities and local governments for reopening factories, combined with the actual situation, does well in the company's internal protection and disinfection work. The source registration, temperature monitoring, infrared disinfection, etc. should be carried out for the employees returning to the factory. If necessary, they should be observed closely, pay close attention to the health of the staff and carry out publicity, education and promotion of the epidemic. Provide masks and disinfectants for employees, and regularly disinfect the workplaces and living areas of employees so as to ensure that every employee has a safe and healthy working and living environment. The staff of Yilong adjust themselves in time, take part in the work at the first time, actively resume work and put into operation, give priority to the production of medical and health fabrics needed in the epidemic area, meet the fabric supply of the medical material production enterprises in the epidemic area, and make a modest contribution to the epidemic.

It is understood that Yilong group independently developed and produced high-quality medical and health care products, which are special fabrics for medical and health care, special fabrics for operation room, special fabrics for sick clothing, etc., because of the characteristics and application fields of this product, they can provide medical support for the medical workers who need the protective clothing.

In February 11th, in order to implement the spirit of implementation of the implementation of the city's enterprise rehabilitation and epidemic prevention and control work (Shaoxi prevention and Control Office [No. 2020] No. 21), we did a good job of the smooth recovery and epidemic prevention and control work of industrial enterprises in Shaoxing, and organized three working groups by the Municipal Bureau of letters and went to various districts and counties (cities) to investigate and guide industrial enterprises to resume work and epidemic prevention work. Shao Quanmao, vice mayor of the municipal government, led the first working group to investigate Shengzhou, Xinchang County, Deputy Secretary General of the municipal government Shi Xinmin, accompanied by deputy director Jin Yi of the city's Bureau of letters and information, and the responsible persons of relevant departments of the Municipal Bureau of information and the Bureau of human resources and social affairs participated in the investigation.

In Shengzhou, Shao mayor and his entourage visited the Limited by Share Ltd and Jia Jia holding limited company of Sheng Tai dress group, to thoroughly understand the situation of enterprises resuming work and enterprise epidemic prevention work, and to require enterprises to implement the main responsibility, grasp the relationship between resumption of work and re production and prevention and control of epidemic situation, and resume production as soon as possible on the basis of staff management and control.

In February 12th, the WeChat friends circle and the printing and dyeing WeChat group circulated a new Shaoxing Circular on "further improving the management of rework personnel outside the province".

According to the survey data of major printing and dyeing production bases in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, some enterprises on the part of the enterprises that are in compliance with the re employment conditions have been commenced in February 10th. Other eligible enterprises are expected to resume operation before February 25th, and set the time limit for commencement of business or postpone to the end of February or early March. However, the actual re production needs to be adjusted according to the situation of employees coming to work.

　 The first batch of resumed textile enterprises is less than 1/3, and small and medium-sized enterprises are struggling to survive.

The gradual return to work in epidemic prevention and control stage is a challenge that the government and enterprises are facing together.

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 pre protection preparations, small and medium-sized entities are more difficult to work. For reasons we all know, a factory can not be the whole industry chain from raw materials to cost, most of which are part of the industrial chain. Both the procurement and sales areas are all parts of the country, and the region may have started work, but the rest of the area is extending the resumption time. The upstream and downstream industries are not equal, and the whole industrial chain can not operate 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.

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 working wages for work at home," and "employees pay at home to see their children's wages". This policy doubled the pressure on enterprises. "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".
