China, though

1 yuan clothing store reappears Guangzhou

Many shops in the nine pedestrian streets in Guangzhou are specially designed to deal with factories at low cost or to clean up inventory and directly connect factories and consumer markets.

The price of these shops is undoubtedly a thermometer for China's clothing and footwear manufacturing industry.

After the outbreak of the financial crisis, many factories closed down and lost money, and nine of them appeared 1 yuan clothing stores.

Recently, reporters visited the nine roads and the people's Middle Road, and found that 1 yuan clothing once again emerged.

In the upper and lower nine roads, a shop played the "last day sale", at the entrance of a pile of clothes asking price "3 - 9 yuan / piece".

The clerk said he heard that more factories had been closed down recently, and there were more cheap clothes.

The reporter also found a 1 yuan clothing shop, I saw the door hung with several towels pure cotton sweater, a piece of "super value sale 1 yuan / piece selected" brand is particularly eye-catching.

Most of these garments are made of pure cotton products with good quality.

The owner of the clothing store told reporters that the factory's tail cargo seemed to be very numerous recently, so that the selling space could not be sold.

Huang Xueming, vice president of Guangzhou garment industry association, told reporters that clothes selling less than ten yuan on the top nine roads were sold below cost price.

Compared with 2008, many export products did not go out to domestic sales in those years, and now the sale is due to overstocked factories and clearing up factories.

Export orders for garment factories halved

Guangzhou Zengcheng Xintang town is a world-famous cowboy production base, known as the "world cowboy three points have one" reputation.

In May 19th, reporters went to Xintang for in-depth investigation, and found that the garment processing industry also entered the "winter" ahead of schedule.

Li Yongqiang is the director of the tailor shop of a garment factory in Xintang. There are five hundred or six hundred workers in his factory, specializing in the brand children's cowboy clothing. The order of 1/3 is an internal sale list, and the second of three per cent is from the European single. Before the factory, the shipment can reach 220 thousand to 250 thousand, but the order has been reduced from March. Now, the monthly shipment is less than 100 thousand, and more than half.

Li Yongqiang said that in recent years, a lot of small garment factories have been closed down in Xintang, even though there are not many jobs in big factories.

Di Tai textile is a medium-sized garment factory. The owner of Zhanjia and his wife is a native of Xintang.

At 3 p.m., it should have been a busy time. However, the reporter saw that only a few people in the workshop of hundreds of square meters in the factory were wearing clothes, and most of the machines were idle.

According to the director, there are 7 units in the plant, and now only 3 units have been set up. At present, almost all the orders have been completed, and the new orders can not keep up. Many workers have taken a rest.

"This year, the situation is even more severe than before the financial crisis," said Zhanjia and his wife.

According to its introduction, the off-season starts in the middle of 5 months, and this year the off-season has been advanced for more than a month. Orders have been greatly reduced since the end of March.

The seven brothers clothing factory in Dun Road, Xintang, all sold in the domestic market. However, at noon, reporters could not see a few people in the production workshop, and only one floor was stacked with ready-made clothes.

Yan Dunquan, one of the partners, said that the workers had gone to lunch at noon, but the reporter could judge from the empty car clothing that the starting rate of the unit should be very low.

Yan Dunquan said, compared with the same period last year, the factory's orders fell by at least 2 to 3 percent.

Yan Dunquan pointed to the clothing factory on the street. He said that even during the day, lights would be turned on when he started work.

The reporter observed that most factories did not turn on the lights.

Shoe enterprises orders shrink by 30%

It's not just the clothing industry, but also the shoe industry.

Guo Zhenhua is the owner of the three township Zhongshan Bao Fu rubber and plastic products factory, which provides shoe materials for large shoe factories.

He said that the entire footwear industry is now entering the cold winter. Over the past year, the overall production cost of shoes has increased by 30% - 40%, making the price of domestic shoe factories now high, and many foreign merchants have shifted their orders to Vietnam and other countries.

Guo Zhenhua said that Guangdong mainly produces high-end shoes. Since October last year, orders have shrunk by about 30%. However, some companies are worried about orders, but they dare not take orders because they can not recruit workers.

"At present, the factory production line is only a little more than the previous 1/3."

Recently, Secretary of the board of directors of Guangdong Haifeng Shoes Co., Ltd., located in Zengcheng stone beach, told reporters Chen Wusi.

The reason for this is not the absence of orders, but the failure to recruit workers.

Chen Wusi said that from 2003 to 2004, the number of workers in the factory reached 18000, but now there are only 5000 factories in Guangzhou.

In order to deal with this problem, Haifeng shoe industry has set up two factories in Hunan and Meizhou.

However, the total number of workers in the three factories is still more than 2000 less than that at the peak.

Chen Wusi told reporters: "we do not worry about orders, but because recruitment is difficult."

With the increasing difficulty of recruitment in Guangzhou, the company has planned to withdraw all production links from Guangzhou, build headquarters in Guangzhou, and retain R & D and logistics.

"With the increase of investment in cities in the mainland, more factories will be migrating to the mainland."
