Shoulder bags, handbags...... The bags on the shelves of shopping malls in Brazil and Mexico, some of them come from Pu'an, Guizhou.
Guizhou goods go abroad, is located in Pu'an County Huimin Community, Qianxinan Prefecture Xiongsheng Luggage Co., Ltd. "handiwork". This is a foreign trade enterprise mainly engaged in the production of bags, with a foreign trade export volume of more than 90%.
The reporter walked into the company's production workshop and saw that the workers were busy on the assembly line, turning over bags, packing, cutting materials, and sewing ...... Every link is in order. The company has realized the production of the whole industry chain.
"The output value from January to June this year is more than 3 million yuan, and the annual output value is expected to reach 6 million yuan." Tan Benxiong, the person in charge of the company, said that the company's business is busy, and it can make 100 bags a day, and the output is more than 20,000 a month.
As a labor-intensive industry, luggage enterprises have a very obvious effect on the employment of surrounding residents.
"I send my children to school every day and then come to work, and my children can also pick them up after school, and I can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month, and I can take care of my family and work, which is very satisfying." Worker Liu Xiaowu said.
"The company pays wages on time, never defaults, and my colleagues are very motivated. I think it's very good that the workers here are close to home, and it is very convenient to take care of the family. Worker Zhang Camellia said.
The reporter observed that there were nearly 60 workers in the factory. Some of them are relocated people, and some have returned to their hometowns.
"The company has had a hard time in the past four or five years, and it has survived." Tan Benxiong's words are light and breezy, but in just a few words, he can still feel the difficulties at that time.
"First of all, we must stabilize the basic market, work hard to reduce production costs to the lowest possible state, and at the same time do everything possible to find a way." He understands that "only by 'surviving' can we have a chance to make great progress." ”
"At the beginning of this year, the company added new customers and formed a new profit point." Tan Benxiong said that because of the expansion of overseas markets, the demand for foreign orders has increased. Next, he will expand the scale to 120 workers.
"I'm confident." Tan Benxiong said.
In the workshop of Guizhou Mingtian Industrial Co., Ltd., workers are processing products.
Guizhou Mingtian Industrial Co., Ltd., which is 9.3 kilometers away from Qianxinan Xiongsheng Luggage Co., Ltd., also has products exported overseas. Chairman Xiong Jiasheng is from Guangzhou, Guangdong, and the first thing he said in an interview was "I didn't expect that one day I would realize my business dream in the mountains of Guizhou." ”
In October 2022, Xiong Jiasheng came to Pu'an County through investment promotion in Qianxinan Prefecture, and a 3,000-square-meter factory building was the place where his dream set sail.
The factory is mainly engaged in hand-packaged products, with more than 100 workers engaged in sewing and hand-pasting, bringing an annual output of 300,000 (pieces) of products and an annual output value of 40 million yuan.
"Although the output value of the Pu'an plant is less than half of that of the Guangdong plant, it is not a problem to double the output value after the workers become proficient." Mr. Xiong, who also has a factory in Guangdong, is gradually downsizing and shifting his focus to Pu'an.
The reason for this determination is mainly because of the local business environment.
"The government here is wholeheartedly serving enterprises, and when I first came, I received a lot of support, and the promises made when I first attracted investment were fulfilled one by one, so I feel at ease to do business here." Xiong Jiasheng pointed to a factory not far away and said, "You see, that is my original factory, the site is small, and we can't keep up after expanding production." The new factory is newly approved by the government for rent free, with an area of 8,000 square meters. ”
The government's concern in exchange for the reassurance of enterprises, Xiong Jiasheng decided to throw off his arms and do a big job.
"I ordered a batch of new production equipment, and as soon as the equipment arrives at the end of this year, I will immediately expand the number of workers to 300."
While scaling up, he is not worried about sales, and proudly says: "At the moment our production volume cannot keep up with demand. ”
In the workshop of Guizhou Mingtian Industrial Co., Ltd., workers are processing products.
Xiong Jiasheng's self-confidence is not blind, because in addition to domestic sales, he also aims at foreign markets, every year with the latest products to Guangzhou to participate in the China Import and Export Fair, in this important "window" of China's opening to the outside world, Xiong Jiasheng ushered in a lot of new opportunities, but also obtained Saudi Arabia, Italy, the United States, South Korea and other 9 countries of the regular source of customers.
"At present, we have 40% of our products sold abroad, and in the future, we will continue to increase the share of exports, and strive to increase the proportion to 70%." Xiong Jiasheng said that for small and medium-sized enterprises, it is a consistent style to chase the outlet, increase research and development, recruit troops, and then find the right position to "fight".
"I am now working on a diversified R&D product type, from the original alcohol packaging to food packaging, cosmetics storage boxes, jewelry boxes, jewelry boxes, watch packaging, etc." He revealed that there are plans to open another branch factory in Qianxinan Prefecture to bring business to a higher level with a complete industrial chain.
"I plan to introduce friends who are in the clothing business to open a factory." "I believe that this land will bring us infinite possibilities," he said. ”
Whether it is Guo Yushu and Shu Dan who are seeking innovative breakthroughs, or Xiong Jiasheng and Tan Benxiong who have created their own unique labels, reporters have asked them the same question: how to keep the old and innovate? Almost all business leaders answered the same way: relying on service and cost-effectiveness to win in the competition is no longer the long-term way to survive and develop. Only by meeting the trend of the times, cutting the subdivision track, and developing towards specialization, refinement, and innovation can we bring more surprises to consumers.
"At present, there are 7 innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, 2 specialized and special new enterprises and a number of small and micro enterprises in the county." Teng Zhengyin, head of the business unit (industry) of the Pu'an County Bureau of Industry and Science and Technology, said. In 2024, Pu'an County will pay close attention to the enterprises to be recruited, especially the leading enterprises and "chain master" enterprises, and strive to introduce a number of projects to supplement the chain, extend the chain and strengthen the chain, improve the industrial chain, and improve the anti-risk ability of small, medium and micro enterprises.
"At the same time, our county vigorously supports the innovation and development of small, medium and micro enterprises, vigorously cultivates innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, specialized and special new small and medium-sized enterprises, and specialized and special new 'little giant' enterprises, and helps enterprises to strive for special financial support for the development of provincial small and medium-sized enterprises." Teng Zhengyin said that Pu'an implements the system of county leaders guaranteeing visits to enterprises to help small, medium and micro enterprises coordinate and solve difficult problems encountered in production and operation and project construction in a timely manner, and promote the development and growth of small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition, it also guides enterprises with financing needs to apply for support such as Guizhou Provincial New Kinetic Energy Development Fund and guaranteed financing of workers' companies, and encourages small and medium-sized enterprises to provide financing guarantees to small, medium and micro enterprises, so as to help small and medium-sized enterprises reduce financing costs and promote the development of the real economy.
