The company has successively closed down the cold snaps?

With the sudden closure of the senior toy company “Su Yi” and textile companies “defining the best”, the fear of once again the “cold flow of manufacturing industry” in Dongguan's corporate circles has filled the entire manufacturing industry. Nearly half a month since the newspaper's Dongguan news hotline, news of a business failure or workers’ pay talks has more than doubled. According to relevant persons from the Textile Industry Association, 10% of Dongguan's textile companies are overwhelmed by this round of manufacturing difficulties, and even in a short period of time, they are unable to see the signs of a bright future. Will SMEs repeat the "cold stream" of 2008? The manufacturing industry is eagerly looking forward to the improvement of the situation.

● Character A Dudad: Da Long, the executive of Dalang Hongshida Furniture Co., Ltd., is a senior manager of a furniture factory. At present, he is unemployed. He and his team of more than 30 employees have never been paid. He was in charge of the factory's production and complained to this newspaper, hoping to help him and his next batch of workers to safeguard their rights. At least get the salary you deserve.

Du Dade said that the furniture factory that he works for is considered a relatively large factory. The factory area is over 8,000 square meters, and when the number of employees is the largest, it is close to 100, and is usually maintained at about 60 people. It is the most common export-oriented small enterprise in Dongguan. Foreign orders are mainly received from the United States, while domestic ones are supplied by some small furniture stores. The previous benefits are still relatively good.

"We have already been in arrears for more than three months," Du Daide told reporters. He is still the deputy general manager of the factory's production, and is considered a top management. But even so, on the issue of arrears of wages, he and the average employee suffered the same.

Du Dade, a native of Nanchong, Sichuan, has worked in the furniture production industry for some years. As a senior executive of Dalang Hongsuda Furniture Co., Da Dade was owed a salary of more than 20,000 yuan in three months. Other employees were owed wages of more than 130,000 yuan. He thought of it here, saying that he was only unlucky.

"This time the boss went awry and the factory closed down. I was a bit surprised," he said. Although he was ready to negotiate with the boss for a long time, he did not expect the boss to do so absolutely. "Let's wait for him to pay, but at the end, he's gone." He said that on July 11th, the owner resold the factory to someone else and the money was absconded.

He said that he and other middle managers did not expect that the boss would run away and there was no sign of advancement.

Yesterday, he and his staff came to the village committee where the factory was located to negotiate with them, hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible. The local village committee has also stepped in and has come up with a solution.

“The salaries of ordinary employees have been advanced by the village committees, but the wages of our middle management personnel and others have not yet been obtained.” Du Dade said, “The furniture industry is really not very good this year, and profit margins have shrunk by at least 10%. If the boss is not well managed, it is easy to have problems.” He said that according to the current situation of his factory, it is still profitable, but why the boss goes wrong and owes wages, he is also a bit puzzled.

● Mr. Ertian, the employee of Qiaobu Linktone Coatings Co., Ltd. and Mr. Du Daede joined the payrolls industry at the same time as the company went bankrupt. At the same time, Mr. Tian, ​​who is a stepping painter of "Lingtong Paints," worked. Mr. Tian spent 8 years at this paint company, but last week Mr. Tian discovered that even the factory owner Mr. Lu was “missing” and he and his 10 other workers had not paid for more than 2 months.

Mr. Tian came from Hubei and came to Dongguan in 2003 to work at a factory named “Lingtong Paint Company” in Xiabian Village, Liaobu Town. The factory originally used to produce high-grade paints, with more than 40 employees. The benefits of the first few years have been very good. Each month, Mr. Tian received a salary of two to three thousand yuan, so he brought his wife and children several years ago. All of them received Dongguan, thinking that it would not be too bad for them to be smart enough to work. Just a few days ago, the factory suddenly closed down and he was unemployed.

Mr. Tian, ​​who had worked for 8 years, did not expect that the factory, which had been very profitable, had been laying off staff in the past two years. Last week, Mr. Ichida discovered that even Mr. Lu, the factory owner, was “missing” and that he and the other 10 or more workers had not paid for more than two months. More than 10 workers began to anxious as ants on the hot pot, and they did not believe that the boss who had been with him for eight years would suddenly disappear.

In desperation, the workers found the village committee and the answer was that the boss “walked”. With the intervention of the labor department, the village committee finally found the land owner. He borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from his family and friends to repay the wages of more than 10 employees. However, it is dramatic that when Mr. Tian went to the labor department to reflect the situation, he even met a group of Hubei townsfolk who also had to rush to the labor bureau because they were owed wages by the boss. "All of them are small factories that do knits and do toys. They couldn't think of a fellow villager. They actually knew because of pay talks." Mr. Tian said in a self-deprecating manner.

The day before yesterday, Mr. Tian had left Dongguan to return to his hometown in Hubei. He told reporters on the phone that last week, the land owner had sold the factory to the owner of Wang. Fearing that old debtors were collecting debts, Wang boss dismissed all the workers and suspended them for three months. “After all, it took eight years and there was feeling.” Mr. Tian said that he would return to Dongguan after a period of rest, but he had no hope of returning to the original factory. ”

Reporter investigates the lapse of pessimistic sounds in senior industry of two major industries: Zeng survived the 2008 industry crisis. On July 13th, Dongguan Suyi Toys Co., Ltd., located in Hongsheng Industrial Park, Dongshan Niusulchechuan, was affixed with a paper seal by the court. . At this moment, thousands of employees who are waiting for resumption of work and pay are completely desperate. "The news that 'Shangyi' collapsed and we were unemployed was quickly passed among the workers. As the world’s second largest toy brand foundry, “Su Yi” formally ended its mission.

The reporter learned that “Su Yi” is a plush toy manufacturer established by a South Korean boss. At the peak, there were nearly 2,000 workers and the products were sold to Europe and the United States. The history of setting up factories was about the same as that of Hejun toys that went out of business in 2008. However, what people did not expect was that when the "Hui Jun" collapsed, "Su Yi" survived, but in the crisis did not survive. “The benefits of this factory have always been good, and the workers are well-paid. In the same industry, the wages are in the upper middle level. The boss has also thought about going to other places to open branch factories.” The middle management of the factory told reporters in this way .

Workers said that on the day of the factory's collapse, senior Chinese officials asked everyone not to go to work, and the South Korean boss ran off. Everyone was stunned for a moment and did not know what to do. Later, came a lot of suppliers to discuss the purchase price. The fact that the factory went out of business caused everyone to no longer doubt it. For a time, the workers took away their belongings, and more people stood by the door waiting for the labor department to solve the wage problem.

A supplier said that he is providing fabrics and the two parties have cooperated for nearly 10 years. Since the beginning of this year, the factory slowly began to no longer keep its promises, and it was not so punctual when it came to settlement of the purchase price. Until April, it was not able to obtain a penny of over one hundred thousand yuan in payment. "There has not been such a situation before." The supplier said that he had speculation that the company would fail, but in the end it would rather believe in the strength of this medium-sized company.

Dingjia: Well-known textile companies once flourished and it is not only the “Su Yi” family that has recently closed down mid-sized companies.

In mid-June, Dingjia, a well-known textile company located in Liaobu, also closed down. The day when the textile company with more than 2,000 workers suddenly closed, it surprised the bosses in the same industry. According to Mr. Xiao, who is responsible for toy generations, “Dingjia” can be said to be a very familiar textile industry. It has always been normal, but the apparent prosperity has finally exposed its fragile side. Suddenly the bankrupted because of the break in the capital chain.

"I have now left 'Dingjia' and went to work at a garment factory in Humen. 'Finely' failed me. I have worked there for eight years." Mr. Zhang from Sichuan told reporters on the phone that he felt that the closure of the textile industry, such as “definitely good”, showed that many companies in the same industry are having a hard time.

“Because of the bank’s monetary tightening and the frequent changes in the market environment, many SMEs have been upset in recent days.” An owner of a textile company who did not want to be named told reporters that many small business owners are difficult to support and simply shut their doors to avoid the limelight. Therefore, there have been more recent workers’ pay talks.

Industry participants: In the "cold stream", the toy industry textile industry bears the brunt of the well-known toy company in Dongguan Longchang International senior management Mr. Lan said when talking about the cold current of this enterprise, compared to this time, the pressure of the enterprise is similar to that of 2008. The Xiao generation toy boss Xiao Lin believes that the pressure is not better than in 2008. "There are still three problems: appreciation of the ***, rising wages and rising raw materials." He said that these three factors will not disappear in a short period of time.

In this round of manufacturing “cold streams”, the toy industry and the textile industry bear the brunt. In this regard, Chen Yaohua, president of the Dongguan Textile and Apparel Industry Association, said that in general, no more than 10% would close or close. But this is already a lot of pressure. The reason is that since the beginning of May, the demand in the European Union and North American markets has begun to decrease markedly, while the difficulty in the domestic market has increased, the increase in wages has increased, the cost of raw materials has increased, the appreciation of the *** has increased, and the profits of current SMEs have been largely affected. Big suppression.

Chen Yaohua said that in the next two cases may occur. It is favorable that the market will become better in the second half of the year. Before Christmas in the tradition of approaching the West, there will be a good market. However, there is also another possibility that the domestic environment, wages, and price controls will not be met, which will lead to a situation in which the market will fail to meet. Therefore, the days of SMEs will worsen, and the way to repeat the 2008 financial tsunami is not impossible.

Chen Yaohua believes that Dongguan companies, like those in the Yangtze River Delta, have indeed reached the most dangerous period since 2008. If the situation is even worse, any pressure may become the last straw and many companies will be under pressure.

A crisis situation in the footwear industry is still good at the moment when many companies are at a loss, only Dongguan leather shoe business pressure is slightly lower. Zhang Hong, secretary general of the Dongguan Leather Footwear Association, said in an interview that compared to the toy industry and the textile industry, the current leather shoe industry in Dongguan is not as stressful. The reason is mainly attributed to the EU's cancellation of punitive tariffs on Chinese leather shoes in April this year. Tariffs have returned to normal levels, which has reduced the tariff burden on leather footwear manufacturing, which has reduced operating costs. "However, the pressure on ** and *** appreciation and lack of work is still a sharp edge."
