Is The Textile Industry Really Bad?

It used to be one of the top 500 enterprises in China and once held up half the sky of Cixi's foreign trade. Because welfare is good, organize tourism every year, end of the year there is year-end bonus, become Cixi recognized "others home company". Recently, however, a notice circulated in Cixi has been signed as "Cixi import and export Limited by Share Ltd". It is intended to terminate labor relations in consultation with all staff, and no longer pay wages since July.

Ningbo Cixi Import & Export Co., Ltd.

According to the official website of the company, Cixi import and Export Corporation was founded in 1988, with a registered capital of 185 million yuan. In 2003 and 2004, it was ranked among the top 500 Chinese enterprises. It also entered the 500 largest import and export enterprises in China for 12 consecutive times. Mainly engaged in bearing auto parts, hardware plumbing, household electronics, Spin clothing Bags Shoes and Hats 6 categories of products, such as light industry technology.

Why did star enterprises fall?

Cixi's anecdotal argument is that it is dragged down by the property market.

Cixi has a Hengyuan Yuecheng estate, which is developed by Hengyuan real estate under the Cixi import and export Limited by Share Ltd. In 2010, the real estate market was good. As the only residential property with 70 years of property rights in the cultural business district, Hengyuan real estate invested heavily in developing hengyuecheng city. According to a document issued by the Cixi Municipal Development and Reform Bureau, Yuecheng 9 project has a total investment of 3 billion 180 million, and the source of funds is "self raised". The way it is marked is "bank loans". But after the start of 2012, the property market was in a doldrums, and sales of buildings encountered bottlenecks.

According to shareholders, in addition to Hengyuan real estate projects, Cixi import and export company also invested heavily in the German Rev project, Argentina investment, Tianjin Samsung camera, Zhenhai new town real estate and some hotel investment projects, all reported losses, resulting in capital chain breakage, cash payment difficulties, insolvency situation.

It can be seen that once the temptations of foreign trade carriers were unable to withstand the market, many diversified investments were carried out. In the year of wind and water, they could still make up for the West. When the market was depressed, diversified investments did not maintain the main textile industry, nor did they make money from investment. Indeed, the loss of "textile lady" and the loss of "textile legacy" were deplorable.

The textile trend has changed.

Because of the gap between cotton price and labor cost, the low end orders in China's textile industry have been losing continuously in recent years.

The traditional advantages of low cost clothing trade in China are gradually disappearing, and more and more garment orders are being transferred to Southeast Asia. In order to reduce production costs and increase export profits, some export oriented garment enterprises in China have also chosen to build factories in Southeast Asia.

Coupled with the disappearance of demographic dividend, the transfer of foreign businessmen in China's manufacturing industry has begun to shift. The low-cost competitive advantage of Southeast Asian countries represented by Vietnam has forced China's textile industry to carry out industrial upgrading, structural adjustment and keeping pace with the times, otherwise it will be eliminated by the tide of the market.

Is the textile industry really bad?

In 2008, when the textile industry suffered from the global financial crisis, the European debt crisis, the internal and external cotton price differential, the increase in labor costs and the enormous pressure of the market environment, Dezhou Hengfeng Textile Co.

These brilliant achievements of Hengfeng group are about the past hardships and the trajectory of innovation and development.

It is really exciting and also indicates to us that in the new market environment, all walks of life are faced with repeated construction and low price competition, and the situation is not optimistic.

afterword

Textile industry, as one of the four basic needs of human clothing, food and shelter, is a sunset but never goes down. Therefore, textile enterprises must strengthen the intensity of product innovation and technological innovation. At the same time, they should also pay attention to the relevant policies of the state. Even if they invest in a diversified way, they should try not to be too dispersed, especially if they are not familiar with them.

Finally, quote the general secretary's words, "industrial prosperity, empty talk", seize the main business, calm investment.
