Its chairman, Liu Changming, told reporters that "in the first half of the year, the market performance of the whole industry is not good, down by about 15%." < /p >
< p > "difficult to recruit senior drivers is a common phenomenon." The owner of a small garment factory in Chengdu told reporters that the technicians in the garment industry had been faulting. "In recent years, the technical profession of lathe workers cannot be filled." < /p >
< p > the boss revealed that because of the need for creativity in the garment industry, enterprises need young drivers who know the elements of modern trendy culture. "But it is very difficult, almost impossible to find skilled young lathe workers. The age of lathe workers is generally over thirty years old.

"P >, but the road of independent research is not easy. Wu Xifan said frankly, the company still relies on the OEM as the main business." independent brand "will take time. There are two main reasons. First, the overall atmosphere of Chengdu has not been formed. The platform of individual brand is too low. Even if the quality and price have advantages, it is easy to be labeled as" Shanzhai "and" poor quality ". Two, there is limited professional talent and the atmosphere is not enough. < /p >

Physical sales + e-commerce is a new marketing channel." < /p >
