Pearl River Delta Enterprises Encounter "Warm Boiled Frog"

Wenzhou enterprise bankruptcy is growing in intensity, the news of the United States and Europe is continuing. With the continuity and deepening of the economic predicament, has there been any change in the economic situation in the Pearl River Delta? How do enterprises, citizens and government have their own cold and warm experience? 6 cities in Foshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Jiangmen in the Pearl River Delta have been investigated, and the mystery is unraveled.

In the past few months, the Pearl River Delta enterprises are sinking deeper and deeper.

While macroeconomic faces are relatively stable, the micro level is not optimistic.

The collapse of enterprises in various cities in the Pearl River Delta has been exaggerated. It is called the "collapse tide" too exaggerated, but the increase in business difficulties is real.

All kinds of pressures overlap, and many entrepreneurs sigh that their careers have never been seen before.

In this round of crisis, small and medium-sized traditional labor intensive

Failure to suspend production "relay"

After receiving wages and severance payments from the government of Shishan town in Nanhai District of Foshan, Huang Meiyuan had never been to the familiar Oriental plastic products factory for more than a month.

Several plastics companies have been refused to help him.

"After all, after 20 years, all of a sudden went bankrupt, and I needed time to calm down."

Dongfang plastics factory was established in 1989.

In second years, Huang Meiyuan became a group of "veterans" who followed Kong Yongqi.

"It's hard to start playing the market at the beginning. It's really not easy to develop from 6 injection molding machines to 115 now."

Huang Meiyuan said that the boss is good at people, always smiling and has been the representative of the people's Congress of Nanhai District.

In the East

In August 20th, workers rushed to the Jinsha bridge, which blocked the bridge for an hour until the local government promised to pay wages.

In August 25th, more than 1100 workers received wages and financial compensation in July and August, a total of about 14000000 yuan.

As a local veteran enterprise with output value of 380 million yuan last year, the sudden death of Dongfang plastics factory is like dropping a bomb and shocked the whole Foshan.

Business circles speculate: "I don't know how many companies will become the next east."

Before that, the Pearl River Delta first perceived that the economy turned cold, which was highly sensitive to the external environment in Dongguan.

In June and July of this year, Dongguan continued to fail in the two companies of knitted garments and vegetarian toys.

Both have more than 2000 employees and have a longer history and higher status in the industry.

Then, in July 26th, Zhongshan had more than 1300 employees.

4 months ago, when the "collapse tide" rumor invaded the Pearl River Delta from Wenzhou, a survey was conducted in PRD enterprises.

At that time, although the voice of the enterprise was strong enough, the collapse and stop production of the medium and large scale enterprises were still isolated cases in the Pearl River Delta.

Today, the collapse and shutdown of such a large and relatively long history of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta have become the "relay" trend.

The collapse and stop production of medium and large scale enterprises are only an extreme reaction to the survival of enterprises.

How many small and micro enterprises shut down quietly, how many enterprises are suffering, wasting, fighting, how many entrepreneurs' confidence is lost, and all kinds of suspense under the iceberg, it is difficult to find a clear answer.

Macro stability, micro suffering

In October 10th, Pan Shiyi, a real estate predator, went to Wenzhou. He wrote in micro-blog: "with entrepreneurs in Wenzhou, there are 6 recent jumps in Wenzhou and 96 on the road.

There may be more than 96 runs, no one knows the exact number. "

In the Pearl River Delta, the situation is obviously better, at least without the news of the boss jumping off the building.

Among the economic data released, most of the most important indicators are normal. The phenomenon of negative growth is rare. G D P still has a growth rate of more than 10% or even 20%, and the export growth rate is mostly higher than that of 10%..

This confirms that the Pearl River Delta economy remains relatively stable at the macro level.

Take Dongguan as an example, according to the preliminary statistics, the number of mass incidents triggered by business failures has been relatively stable in recent months, and there is no obvious trend of increase, nor is it worse than the financial crisis.

If we call it "collapse tide", it is too exaggerated.

But over the past four months, labour disputes have risen by nearly 30%.

At the micro level, business difficulties and instability increase.

Reporters recently visited the Pearl River Delta business once again. In recent months, the situation of business difficulty has not been alleviated. On the contrary, it has become the trend of "boiled frog in warm water", and enterprises are generally worried about the future market.

The frequent "bad news" in Europe and America, the fluctuation of exchange rate, the straight rise of domestic raw materials, the steadily rising labor costs, the tight supply of funds caused by macroeconomic regulation and the power rationing in some areas, the phenomenon of "six meetings" are not seen before in the life of many business owners.

"In the history of the development of our electronics industry, this year has been a rather difficult year."

A similar statement by Yao Rongcheng, executive vice president of Guangdong electronics chamber of Commerce, has been heard repeatedly in Nandu's press research.

"September to April next year is the peak season for the injection industry, but only 33 of our machines are in operation.

Guo Zhuliang said that underemployment is very common in the injection industry.

Such a situation exists in the vast majority of traditional industries in the Pearl River Delta.

Before the national day, Nandu journalists visited a handbag factory in Dongguan. The boss, Miss Jiang, was very sad. She had not received any orders in October. "I asked my friend on the phone to know that the situation was almost the same.

Some of them are scattered small pieces, hundreds of pieces of appearance. "

In Dongguan, Zhongshan and other export oriented cities, there are more factors such as exchange rate.

"The first thing I do when I arrive at office every day is to turn on the computer to see the exchange rate of the US dollar."

For several months, Miss Jiang's mood followed the fluctuation of exchange rate.

She told the Nandu reporter that she took an order in June and July, when the exchange rate was 6.47, and three months later, the exchange rate fell to 6.37.. "The more you buy, the worse you get."

Miss Jiang's factory has been working for 13 years, and she has never felt so cruel as this year.

"The money lost in the 2008 financial crisis earned back in 2009 and 2010, and now it is losing again.

Our small and medium-sized enterprises can only do one year for a year, and can't live anymore. "

Tong Jia shoes and Lian Kai shoes are all shoe factories in Zhongshan. The former has nearly 20 thousand employees.

Yang Mengru, an export commissioner for Tong Jia, said: "the biggest problem that bothers us is the exchange rate problem. We dare not take the long list. We have to be cautious in the process of placing orders."

Zhang Ruizheng, head of the export industry, also said that orders were "life-saving straw" in the financial crisis. Now it has become a "hot potato", and even orders do not dare to pick up.

Zhongshan Xiaolan Town Government Research Report shows that clothing, footwear, chemical adhesive industry orders situation is not optimistic.

Among the enterprises visited, it was generally reflected that the reduction in orders in the first half was obvious, accounting for 70% of the number of visits. It is expected that orders will continue to decrease in the second half of this year, with a reduction of 20%-60%.{page_break}

Since July, some cowboy enterprises in Shunde have seen bosses and employees gathering for salary. After August, this trend has spread to household appliances, hardware and commodity manufacturing industries.

A survey conducted by Shunde District Bureau in September showed that the business environment has undergone "qualitative changes" since the beginning of this year.

Overall, Shunde's economy has been running steadily and steadily, but the growth rate has slowed down. In the more than 30 thousand SMEs in the region, there has been no abnormal large-scale enterprise shutting down. Less than 10% of the enterprises have taken measures to reduce production and pfer production.

Production and operation difficulties are mainly concentrated in furniture manufacturing, textile (denim clothing) and other labor-intensive industries and export oriented small businesses.

Reporters at the Daling Town, Huidong County, Huizhou, gathered in shoe factories, learned that there have been at least 5 shoe factory owners since June.

In Jiangmen, which has always been relatively stable, there has also been a phenomenon of electroplating enterprises closing down.
