Last week, a friend complained to the editor about a bad thing he encountered.
Things were not complicated. When he was at work, he found that all the roads were blocked by people. He got out of the car and asked, and it turned out that a weaving company was preparing It was closed for the holidays, but the workers did not receive their due wages, so they gathered to demand wages.
That friend said that after working for a year, he couldn’t get any money when he was about to go home during the Chinese New Year. It was understandable that he would do such a thing. , so he could only admit that he was unlucky and was late for nothing.
Coincidentally, the editor recently visited the market Some of the things I heard and saw were inextricably linked to accounts receivable.
Now that the end of the year is approaching, some stores have already hung up clothes outside and started selling them. The editor was curious, so he went up and asked about it. Sure enough, it was a product that clothing companies could not afford to pay and finally used to pay off debts. An ordinary thin down jacket only costs 50 yuan.
The boss also said that many traders now go to clothing factories and bring back a lot of textiles because they cannot collect their receivables. There are not only down jackets, but also pants, quilts, socks, everything you need. In today’s night markets, you can already see many people selling debt-retiable clothing. Some even rented a storefront and opened a factory store to deal with these clothing.
Whether it is blocking the road early in the morning and demanding wages, Whether you take the debt-repaired goods to a street stall and sell them to stop losses is a true portrayal of the difficulties that textile workers have encountered this year, but how did this situation come about?
The upstream owes money, and the downstream “takes the blame”
For enterprises in the textile industry chain this year, the biggest problem encountered should be “money shortage”.
From the source, Sino-US trade friction has led to a significant reduction in the export volume of clothing and fabrics, and the purchasing power of the end market has shrunk significantly, which means that clothing brands have begun to be strapped for funds. ;
Garment factories are also having a hard time. At the end of the year, it becomes increasingly difficult to receive orders. Many of the jobs left in the market are thankless and low-profit.” “It’s useless”, coupled with the cancellation of many orders for OEM production to be exported abroad, many garment companies are now considering whether to take an early holiday;
Needless to say, fabric traders, some fabric bosses have seen their order volume this year drop by 30% compared to last year, and even orders that were close to half were cut in half. The peak season is not prosperous, and the off-season is even worse. When they are free, they even want to get together to play cards;
Weaving enterprises are under the greatest pressure, because almost all the enterprises upstream of them sell on credit, but when buying raw materials, they have to pay in cash. In this way, weaving enterprises are under great pressure. Enterprises are equivalent to “taking the biggest blame” and “taking over the most troubles.” As long as there is a problem in one link of the production chain, weaving enterprises basically have no hope of receiving money. As for advance payments, when everyone is short of money Well, this is almost non-existent.
What the editor learned from visiting the market Judging from the results, this year’s arrears can be said to be very common, and they are generally concentrated on traders and weaving companies. The most common reason is that upstream garment companies fail to pay in time. A trader in the Shengze area said that they had an order for 40,000 meters of fabric started in March this year, but the balance has not been paid until now because the clothing brand did not pay, thus knocking over the “dominos” .
It increased by nearly 20% during the same period, and the number of losses incurred by clothing companies also increased significantly.
The total loss is even more exaggerated, and the textile industry and The total losses of the apparel industry in the three months exceeded 30% compared with the same period last year, and the losses in October were particularly huge. In the context of widespread losses in the textile industry, it is not surprising that there are a large number of arrears.
Whether you can receive the money, just Depends on luck?
For textile companies, this year’s receivables not only depend on the textile company’s own means and strength, but also on cooperation. Customers are unreliable.
小�I met a company. This company also produces pongee and polyester taffeta, which are traditionally “big-ticket goods”. However, because the downstream traders are relatively reliable, they will come to the factory every once in a while to sell these goods. The cloth produced for a period of time is gone, and the previous batch of cloth money is also settled. In the end, the company basically only has about one month of inventory, and the accounting period is also about one month, so the company does not have any operating pressure. In this year’s relatively weak market situation, those who can pay in time and purchase regular products at normal prices can definitely be regarded as “quality customers”.
However, the person in charge of this company also said that in the second year after he opened the factory, a customer ran away owing 600,000 yuan in payment. I haven’t come back until now. Let’s go back to this year. Some textile companies cannot receive money not because they are lame, but because upstream companies are also owed their own money.
Therefore, for textile companies, if they want to collect payments smoothly at the end of the year, they not only need to develop a pair of “sharp eyes” when screening customers, but also need certain skills. luck.
Everyone knows that this year’s market is not good, and weaving High inventory of gray fabrics and tight capital chains are also common problems in enterprises. But many of these things still remain conceptual. People may think that the market situation this year is very bad and it is difficult to collect receivables, but they have actually heard and seen these things happening to themselves. When you are around them, the shock they bring to people is different.
Finally, I hope that all textile workers will have good luck and be able to get their money back in time and live a stable New Year.
