Leather Prices Rose 40%, Chengdu Small And Medium-Sized Furniture Enterprises Faced With Financing Difficulties.

Yesterday, reporters walked into the furniture industry which is also a labor-intensive industry.

There are 2000 furniture enterprises in Chengdu and about 300000 employees, making it one of the three largest furniture production bases in the country.

Although there are many furniture enterprises, there are only 100 enterprises on the scale. Most of the small and medium-sized furniture enterprises do not have many fixed assets, and there is widespread financing difficulty.

Present situation

Sichuan furniture import and Export Chamber of Commerce Secretary General Rong Yiwei said that this year, the furniture industry is also facing raw material prices, labor costs increased, the impact of earthquake orders, and other factors, and some furniture companies have also seen a shortage of funds.

"No fixed assets are the biggest reasons for financing difficulties of small and medium-sized furniture enterprises."

Rong Yiwei said that at present, Chengdu's furniture enterprises, leasing plant production reached seven or eight, especially the sofa enterprises, there are very few fixed assets, in addition to the factory is leasing, sewing machines and other production equipment is also not worth, so basically no Guarantee Corporation is willing to take over, so from the bank loan is also more difficult, "some enterprises have appeared private lending situation."

case

Chengdu's leading show furniture, located in Tianhui Town, encountered a hole in the process of rapid development.

"The wages of workers doubled compared with the previous two years. If the labor cost of making a sofa in the past is 120 yuan, then the labor cost of making a sofa has increased to about 210 yuan. In addition, the price of foam, wood and leather needed for making sofa has increased by 40% over the past two years."

Wang Zhigang, general manager of the company, said in an interview yesterday, "if the factory price is raised, the sales volume will be suppressed, so the operation of the company can only be maintained through other means."

"I have been looking for a Guarantee Corporation before and want to borrow money from the bank, but when the guarantee is half done, Guarantee corporation wants me to avoid the risk. Guarantee Corporation asked me to handle the counter guarantee. Guarantee Corporation asked me to find a friend's company to counter it for me, so that it was not only cumbersome, but also I was reluctant to drag my friends down."

Wang Zhigang said that in September last year, when the company invested 1 million 500 thousand yuan in profit, it opened a retail store in Xindu as a product exhibition center. After tight funds this year, it had to pfer the retail store at a loss of about 700000 yuan. "My idea now is that there is no way to maintain the operation of the company."

idea

Rong Yiwei: "the chamber of commerce is also actively thinking.

The idea is to convene a strong enterprise in the furniture industry, and jointly invest in the establishment of a guarantee agency, which is a guarantee for small and medium-sized furniture enterprises.

The chamber of Commerce will strive to materialization after the end of this year's furniture exhibition.

Controversy

The number of bankrupt is "normal"?

Wen Zongyu (director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance):6.7 million small and medium-sized enterprises closed in the first half of the year, still in a normal range.

From the past five to ten years, every year, close to 5% to 10% small businesses are closing down, and there may be 8% to 10% in the downturn.

6.7 million, if according to the national 1 million 400 thousand small businesses, it may be about 8.5% of the proportion.

Financing is not a big problem.

Yi Xianrong (researcher of the Institute of finance, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences): the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises in the west is not a big problem. The financing of SMEs is always difficult.

I think the problem of small and medium-sized enterprises is actually due to the fact that the appreciation of RMB is too fast, which makes it more difficult. Other problems are not too difficult.
