The impact of the new coronavirus pneumonia on human health has been obvious to all from the real-time tracking data updated every day. In just over a month, the number of confirmed infections has exceeded 10,000, and the number of suspected infections has exceeded 20,000. Various regions have successively implemented city closures, road closures, and bans on gatherings and gatherings. Of course, these measures are all necessary to protect people’s lives and health. However, compared with the impact of the new coronavirus pneumonia on people’s health, the impact on the national economy cannot be ignored.
Compared with the SARS epidemic in 2003, GDP was affected by 140 billion yuan, which affected more than 1% of the total amount of 13.7 trillion yuan at that time, dragging down the annual growth by 0.5%. Because my country’s economy was still small and exports were relatively small at that time, the impact of SARS on the economy was not too great. But the impact of the current epidemic on our current economic scale of nearly 100 trillion is obviously different. Even if the impact is only about 1%, it will be a loss of about 1 trillion.
The national economy has been affected, and our textile industry cannot survive alone. Recently, all textile people have received news sooner or later that factories and companies have postponed the start of operations. At this time, many people are no longer thinking about the joy brought by the Spring Festival holiday turning into a “winter vacation”, but more about a kind of joy for the Spring Festival holiday. An “inexplicable” desire to go to work. On the one hand, it is because it is too boring to stay at home and cannot go anywhere; on the other hand, it is panic about the current and future economic income, because few people who work in textiles dare to say that they have paid rest. , suspension of production often means zero income.
Textile boss: Rent is a pain to breathe
Any textile boss regardless of the order Regardless of the size or number of employees, there is one expense that is always unavoidable, and that is the rent, unless the house and venue are your own, but this is a very rare case after all. The recent state of the textile market has made rent the biggest expense for most textile owners.
In 2019, because business was not as good as in previous years, a textile boss rented another one in another business district Facade. Since this business district is relatively high-end, the annual rent for a small storefront costs more than RMB 100,000. But this year he had to close for more than a month due to the pneumonia epidemic, which made him very distressed. Because more than a month’s rent was paid in vain. On the other hand, his store was rented at the end of 2019. If he rented it later, he might be able to save more than a month’s rent.
Another textile company that had good business in 2019 also encountered rent problems. The store they currently rent is 200 square meters, and the annual rent is about 100,000. Those who make textiles will only have all kinds of fabrics left after a year. After a few years, these 200 square meters will not be enough. Since foreign trade did well in 2019, they wanted to take this opportunity to move to a larger venue at the beginning of 2020, and they had basically found a suitable place before the Spring Festival.
But the current pneumonia epidemic makes them hesitant. First of all, they are worried that the number of orders will be lower than last year and they will not need such a large venue; on the other hand, the impact of the current pneumonia epidemic is definitely not what they are facing. 2 It’s only a month, and they won’t be able to fully resume production even in April and May, so it doesn’t make much sense for them to rent a house at a high price at the beginning of the year.
Recently there have been many initiatives in the market calling for rent reductions and exemptions, but these are just “calls” after all. It is still unknown how many landlords will respond in the end.
Textile employees: I regret resigning years ago
The Spring Festival has many meanings, one of which is “job hopping”. This phenomenon is especially obvious in the textile industry. Every year after the Spring Festival, the streets and alleys of major textile towns are filled with various recruitment advertisements. The more advertisements are done for a long time, the message to textile employees is that “there will be better jobs after the festival.” opportunity” message. Therefore, many workers think that there will be more job opportunities waiting for them after the new year, and they often resign directly before the new year in order to go home earlier.
However, due to the impact of the pneumonia epidemic this year, not to mention the delay in starting work, you have to wait at least half a month to find a job again; more importantly, many companies will have an uncertain future due to the epidemic. sex increases and the number of workers decreases.
A textile trade salesman in Wujiang has been working in textile industry for three or four years. Due to various reasons, he resigned from his boss before the Spring Festival this year and returned to his hometown early on January 11. , he plans to find a job again after the Spring Festival. Normally for an old man like him who still has clients, he would have a job at his fingertips.
But I never expected the outbreak of pneumonia , his job search is not only postponed, but also difficult.�Increased; but what is even more unexpected is that he is from Hubei. It is unknown when he will return to the Wujiang area. Even if he comes back to find a job, the road will definitely be full of ups and downs.
But if he had not resigned a year ago, even if he could not come back to work immediately due to the epidemic, the basic salary he should receive would not be less. In addition, the boss would not think that people from Hubei Even though I fired him for some reason, his job was still guaranteed. And now he will have no source of income for a long period of time.
In fact, there are many situations similar to his in the textile market. Textile workers who were accustomed to changing jobs after the new year did not expect to be caught off guard by the pneumonia epidemic. Not only did their income Affected, more importantly, jobs have become difficult to find.
Now that the pneumonia epidemic is raging, it is a high probability that the economy will be affected. The textile market has been sluggish throughout the year in 2019, but we textile people have survived. In 2020, whether we are textile bosses or textile employees, we should help each other to win this “war against the epidemic”.
