Wenzhou Shoe Enterprises Encounter Cold Winter In July

In July, it was extremely cold in Wenzhou. "After a busy quarter, there is little profit." On July 1, Xie Fucheng, the boss of Wenzhou large-scale shoe factory, finally made up his mind to advertise the transfer of the factory. It has been repeatedly confirmed that Wenzhou, as the birthplace of China's manufacturing industry, is the production base of more than 30 subdivided industries in China. However, 20% of the 300000 manufacturing enterprises are in the state of production or semi suspension, and more than 40000 enterprises have closed down. It is the surging production costs that force Xie Fucheng to go to the dead end. The appreciation of labor force, the rise of raw material prices, the appreciation of RMB, the cancellation of export tax rebate and the increase of loan interest rate are all necessary to the manufacturing industry which depends on low cost, low market price and low profit. During the reporter's in-depth interview in Wenzhou, manufacturing enterprises were hit by two major attacks: at the end of June, clothing exports met new "trade barriers"; in early July, electricity prices were raised. Live or die? Self help or he save? Wenzhou's manufacturing industry, which is entering a painful period, is very confused. It's an extravagant hope to live on. Recently, Mr. Zhang, a Wenzhou citizen, has a headache when reading the local newspaper: "there are more and more small advertisements with dense information." The reporter noticed that many of the advertisements that made Mr. Zhang headache were the information of renting and selling factory buildings and warehouses. The price of - 96.00% is available at any time After taking over with Xie Fucheng, on July 1, the reporter came to Xie's shoe factory located in Lucheng Industrial Park. In the three-story factory building and tens of thousands of square meters of space, only Xie and his two relatives stayed behind. The piles of leftovers had become moldy and the machines were covered with dust. "Now it's time to stop production, pay workers as usual, and have a holiday without orders." Xie hoped that reporters could contract out the whole factory, including the workers, and at worst, take down the factory building. Seeing that the reporter was not satisfied, Xie also recommended that there were two factories not far away, which were entrusted by peers. On the way, we passed the factory area near Shuangyu Town, which is known as China's shoe capital. The reporter saw that many factories were closed and the security inside was listless. The reporter then came to Shuitou Town, Pingyang, Wenzhou, which is known as China's leather capital. It once produced 120 million pieces of leather a day, a quarter of the national output. However, the reporter at 3 p.m. in a slightly prosperous street saw more workers in blue overalls loitering. As soon as I asked, there was no order in the factory recently, so I didn't have to go to work. According to the data provided by Wenzhou, at least 60000 small and medium-sized enterprises in Wenzhou will stop production or stop production, that is, more than 60000 SMEs in Wenzhou will stop production. Zheng chenai, President of Wenzhou garment chamber of Commerce, explained to reporters that "this is a common phenomenon made in China", but Wenzhou is undoubtedly a disaster area. Zheng admitted that this is the most difficult year. "It's a luxury to live." It's too difficult for reporters to accept the same conditions as the Fujia owners.
