The "going out" company is making a firm decision

Pinghu Clothing & Bags Co., Ltd. Off-site investment observation

“Now is the best time for orders, and it is also the time for the most pressured companies.” Yesterday, Ma Yingen, head of Yonglian Washing Co., Ltd., said that processing orders have been arranged this year by the end of the year and it is urgent to recruit a group of new workers, but Even though Pinghu has raised its salary locally, it is still difficult to recruit people.

Fortunately, Yonglian Wash invested 50 million yuan in Anhui Lu'an, and it has 12 new garment production lines that can digest many orders. At present, the first phase of investment of 50 million yuan has been put in place, the newly established Wing Union Clothing Co., Ltd. has been put into production in February of this year, and now has 10,000 pairs of jeans.

The relevant person in charge of the Dushangang Town Industrial Office stated that at present, there are more than 10 garment enterprises in the town to transfer industries to the central and western regions. Pinghu City Clothing Industry Association official said frankly that the city's at least 30 clothing companies to set up production bases in the central and western regions. The reporter learned from the interview that although Pinghu has a large number of companies “going out”, the road before them is not smooth.

In the middle of a steady move

In March of this year, Rookie Bags invested 1 million yuan in Luzhou, Sichuan Province, leased 7,000 square meters of workshops, added 8 new production lines, recruited 200 employees, and just entered the trial production stage, with 25,000 bags processed in the first month. Like other “going out” companies, the accessories and accessories needed for the new factory need to be transported from Pinghu. Zhang Huaijun, the person in charge of this production base, told the reporter that the biggest advantage of setting up a factory in Zhangzhou is that the average wage of newly recruited workers is 1,300 yuan per month, which is far below the average wage of Pinghu old factory workers of 2,000 yuan per month. However, due to the need of raw materials After transporting goods from Zhejiang, the cost of transporting each finished product bag was 2 to 3 yuan higher, which squeezed a certain profit margin. In addition, due to the insufficient level of proficiency of newly recruited employees, the Zhuozhou company also needs to train its employees on a monthly basis.

Despite the unprecedented difficulties faced by rookie bags, the head of the Rookie Bags headquarters still said that the company will invest an additional 200 million yuan in next year to support the construction of raw materials and accessories companies in Zhangzhou. At the same time, it will build sales outlets and complete the company. Strategic shift in the central and western regions.

"Going out" is not "finding death"

For enterprises “going out”, Pinghu has two opposing voices: one voice believes that “going out” is “finding death” while another voice believes that “going out” is to find a “living road”.

It is based on the "seeking death" concerns, Eli Garment voluntarily gave up plans to invest in foreign countries. The person in charge of the company told the reporter that the company originally planned to go to Henan to run a business. However, I heard that the locals are used to “exhaust money and work harder” and added that “the workers are not good at management,” and the company did not dare to “throw money in the water in vain”.

In an interview, the reporter learned that there are a number of garment companies that have the need to invest in other places, such as Yilai’s garments. However, due to concerns that the prospects are not favored, these companies that are eager to “go out” have to dispel the idea.

"Going out" is "finding death" or finding "living"? The relevant person in charge of the Jiaxing City Economic and Trade Commission explained that, from the perspective of the apparel industry, it was originally a process of industrial transfer. The “going out” of labor-intensive enterprises such as garments and bags in our city has become an inevitable trend, and “going out” is not “finding death”.

What are the factors that determine the relocation of labor-intensive industries? Taking apparel companies as an example, since last year, due to the recovery of international market demand and the reconstructing of inventory after destocking, many garment enterprises in the city have “orders are too much to complete”, and some companies’ orders have even reached the end of March next year. . It is precisely because the international market orders "blowout" directly led to a shortage of labor demand. According to the Pinghu City Labor Department, in the first half of this year alone, the city’s garment industry had a labor shortage of 7,000, which has not yet eased.

"Things" are rare and expensive, and shortage of employment will inevitably push up workers' wages. Pinghu, a clothing company official told reporters that there are two ways to digest the added labor costs: First, rely on partners to increase processing fees, and second, to reduce costs by the internal. Otherwise, companies may find it difficult to survive. The person in charge of the company stated that although the risk of “going out” is relatively high, they are still preparing to transfer the production base to the central and western regions as soon as possible, leaving R&D design and marketing only in Pinghu.

To improve the industrial supporting system in the investment area

The person in charge of the Jiaxing Municipal Economic and Trade Commission said that if the “going out” company is to succeed, it is not enough to build a factory. It is also necessary to build a sound industrial supporting system in the investment place.

"A complete industrial system in a place will undoubtedly require a long process." Zhang Xiaowen, director of the Corporate Research Office of the National Development and Reform Commission and Doctor of Management, also believes that compared with the perfect industrial system in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the industrial system in the central and western regions has a comparative advantage. Many "short-board" phenomena, such as difficult to recruit skilled workers, difficult to match the original accessories, market space is not open and so on. These conditions may be difficult to change in the short term, but as long as the company persists in perseverance, and carefully manages and perfects industrial support, it will surely receive the desired results.
