< p > "business is really bad this year. There is nothing we can do. We have to stop working and have a holiday."

At this time, as Guangzhou's famous small and medium-sized garment factory Distribution Center, located in the vicinity of Haizhu Zhongda cloth market, Lujiang village and Kangle village are often brightly lit. Proofing, sewing, and sewing workers are also working late at night. However, this year, the boss told reporters that the order was reduced to only 30%.

In addition to the influence of the clothing trade environment, high rents and hidden dangers of safety are called important reasons for the unsustainable business.

< p > slightly darkened workshop. There are some rags scattered on the ground. The old man and his client, Mr. Deng, put the cloth on the cutting table and slowly counted it out.

At this time last year, such a scenario was almost unthinkable.

"The fan is whirling around the top of the table. The table is full of sewing machines, and the workers don't even have time to drink."

The old man of Sichuan arrived in Guangzhou in 1995 and started from the small craft. At last, he became the owner of the garment factory with about 500 square meters. There were more than 20 regular workers in the factory, and ten more were needed when he was busy.

The old man refused to disclose his profits, but the workers told reporters that a skilled flat car operator had an average monthly salary of 6000 yuan last year.

But now they either go back to their dormitories to sleep, or more than half of them go back to their homes.

< /p >


< p > mid June, it is the peak season for domestic sales of summer clothing.

But at 3 p.m.

Reporters in the Lujiang village "courtyard 9" around the circle, more than 20 large and small garment factories, less than half of the work.

Xiao Zhang, who is responsible for the cleanliness of the courtyard, said that the broken cloth head every day is not as good as that of the previous few years.

< /p >


< p > in the "XIGA pleat factory" downstairs in the old workshops, several workers are bored to finish their work. Xu Shiwei, the boss of another garment factory, and Xiao Hu, his important customer, are sitting there drinking tea.

"How can it be better for us to follow up the process?" Xu Shiwei said with a look of helplessness. He said that before the factory there was a special aunt who cooks and cooks for supper, and now "cooks himself every day".

"Most of the business this year is maintained by old customers, but how long can old customers face?" Xu Shiwei said that the factory had not received stable orders for nearly a month, which made him very worried.

< /p >


< p > < strong > bottleneck: high operating cost and no advantage in quotations < /strong > < /p >


< p > according to the statistics of 11 years, there are more than 1000 garment processing factories in Haizhu and only 150 thousand people in the area of Kang Le Village and Lujiang village.

Because of its numerous advantages, such as the adjacent large and medium sized cloth market, and the stable quality of clothing production and the appearance of the plate, it is known as one of the most important "post processing gardens" of China's high-end clothing for internal and external trade.

"People say that the thirteen row is a world-class garment" wind vane ". Let's not see that the factory building is not" tall on the top ". Most of the clothes we make here are supplied with thirteen rows, and we generally don't do wholesale clothing with poor quality.

The old man said proudly.

< /p >


< p > however, many bosses in the interview said that the overall shipment volume was very poor this year, especially in the previous summer peak from the beginning of the lunar new year to May 1, and the number of orders was insufficient. Many factories were "stop doing", and even some factories had been shut down for nearly two months.

In this regard, they call it the "rare winter" in the summer clothing market.

< /p >


What is the cause of this situation? In addition to the late summer of this year and the impact of the electricity supplier, almost every boss will emphasize one thing to reporters: the cost is too high. P

< /p >


< p > "one eye is 3500 yuan, and nothing is done, so we have to pay so much in a day, not to the wages of the workers."

The old man of "Xiehui garment factory" said he was anxious about the pressure of rent and water and electricity.

In fact, there are obvious rent levels in the distribution centers of several clothing processing in Guangzhou. The most expensive places are Kangle and Lujiang in the vicinity of Zhongda cloth city, followed by "Zhongcheng village" in Dun, Tai Yong, Longtan and pomegranate in the east of Guangzhou Road, then Panyu, Huadu and other places.

< /p >


Some p owners choose to go back to their homes.

"This month, my fellow townsman has gone two times, all of which are due to expire at the old home in Sichuan."

Lao Wen said that if he did not have Mr. Hu's order, he was also planning to return home.

"But still reluctant to invest in the early stage, decoration, machinery, the money has not yet earned, and now too much loss."

< /p >


Xiao Hu, director of "P", told reporters that the rent of factory buildings in Kangle's Lujiang area is currently ranging from 40 to 50 yuan per square meter, which does not include the annual increase and expenses such as "top hand fee", "commitment fund" and "cleaning fee". With the support of garment manufacturing industry in some inland cities and the Yangtze River Delta, the average land price of the local industrial park is only above ten yuan per square meter.

< /p >


< p > < strong > > four times the price difference, our cost will no longer be pressurized.

< /strong > < /p >.


< p > in addition, the area of Kang Le Village and Lujiang village is still the structure of "urban village". The working and living areas of workers are not well differentiated and matched. Compared with the new industrial parks, there is a natural shortage.

< /p >


"P" as an intermediary for orders, Mr. Deng, the businessman, confirmed the story of Xiao Hu.

"The total number of orders received this year is not bad, but there is not much to be done."

Mr. Deng said that the number of foreign trade orders he had increased this year was higher than that of last year, and the domestic trade orders were basically flat. However, what he did to Lujiang was significantly reduced, and even some customers volunteered not to come to the garment factory here.

< /p >


"P >" this year, the wholesale market in Guangzhou has more adjustment actions. In May, there was another "security incident" at the railway station. Some garment companies were worried about the unstable operation of the garment factory and feared that they could not deliver the goods in time.

If there is no advantage in quotation, the garment factories in other areas will often choose.

< /p >


< p > < strong > argument: "cold winter" is just "changing hands" industry is pforming /strong < < /p >.


< p > Mr. Deng said that in order to reduce costs, some of the garment manufacturers he knew had moved the workshop away from the Lujiang River.

One of the people in Jiangxi is Ms. Guo, who moved her factory that contained hundreds of people to Luoxi.

< /p >


< p >, however, Ms. Guo is not surprised by the "cold winter" encountered by the garment factories in Lujiang area, and she thinks it is "inevitable" and "should".

"Sooner or later, it is no longer suitable for the development of garment processing industry."

Reporters also found that many of the owners of the garment factories in this area have little interest in adjusting the industrial thinking and making the factory's business diversified. Many people have never even tried to win over Internet customers, and still have some "dismissive" attitude towards "online shopping".

"Those are small bills, ten or twenty pieces, and the quality is not good."

However, Ms. Guo said that most of her orders recently came from online customers. "Shipments are quite large, larger than those of regular customers."

< /p >


< p > reporter then interviewed the relevant staff members of the village committee of the village of Lujiang village in Haizhuqu District. The other side said that some of the garment factories in the Zhongda cloth market area were closed down recently. The reasons include the trade environment of clothing trade, rent, contract expiration, and so on.

But at the same time, he said there were many people who took over these factories and were in the normal "handover" stage.

"Although it is not the off-season of clothing production, but at this time of the year, the hot weather in Guangzhou, the increase in hydropower and other expenses, and many contracts are just due, so this adjustment is a normal market rule."

Fengyang street, who is familiar with the local garment factories, admitted that, on the one hand, influenced by the environment of the market economy, the profit margins of the small garment processing industry decreased in recent years, and the cost of local rents rose. On the other hand, with the upgrading of the Zhongda cloth Market, the large scale and high quality enterprises introduced continuously had the purpose of "retreating" these "small workshop" garment factories.

< /p >


< p > and Wu Zhenghong, Secretary General of Guangzhou garment industry association, also believes that the "exit" of garment factories in some parts of Guangzhou is a normal phenomenon.

There are many reasons for the current situation: including rising labor costs, rising prices of raw materials such as cotton, and heavier burden on enterprises. At the same time, Guangdong has implemented "cage changing birds", and many labor-intensive industries have been migrating to other regions.

But Wu Zhenghong believes that the growth rate is slowing down, but it is not stopped growing, but the growth rate is not so fast. "Clothes, food and shelter" clothes are the leading garment. It is just needed. Anyway, this industry will always be a sunrise industry. Some people will quit and there will always be people entering.
