Chapter 35 10. Textile industry - who is busy with all the hard work

Under the premise of extremely small brand differences and weak capital strength, the Chinese textile industry cannot escape the fate of being annexed in the face of powerful foreign capital. If we soberly examine ourselves, we will find that the Chinese textile industry has actually failed. The seemingly golden laurel crown is just a pawn of capital. If this situation does not change fundamentally in the next ten years, what awaits China's textile industry will be an unprecedented catastrophe. Topic introduction: The truth behind the honor - who is busy with all the hard work In the past 10 years, the changes faced by China's textile industry are like a glass of beer. Although it tastes refreshing, it contains endless bitterness.

Since the end of the last century, China's textile industry has achieved unprecedented development, from the world's largest textile market to the world's largest textile producer.Relying on the advantages of strong labor resources, it not only annexed all the domestic market shares, but also made a lot of gains in foreign trade. Many traditional textile industry powers have to bow to our feet. This feat of conferring a king in a foreign land certainly has endless glory, but when we carefully examine this glory and look at the pattern of the textile industry today, the conclusions we draw may be unacceptable, because we have no way of understanding, Who are today's textile giants working hard for?

In the textile industry, there are two major branches, the household textile industry and the industrial textile industry. The products of the former are mainly concentrated in ordinary daily consumer goods, while the latter play the role of providing raw materials for other industries.Although the final products are different, the endings they encounter are not very different. In these vigorous ten years, under the competition of top international business groups, China's textile industry has completed mergers and acquisitions and reorganizations that would take decades to complete in Western society. From the flowering pattern of various places in the past, many textile enterprises that used to operate independently have now been unified under a few famous banners.

The reason for this situation is simple, that is, international capital has noticed the cost advantage of China's textile industry. Whether it is home textiles or industrial textiles, if they are processed in developed countries, their production efficiency and quality may be better than those of Chinese textile companies. However, due to the higher processing and manufacturing costs of Chinese textile companies Much lower, so developed countries will eventually choose to put the production and processing links in China. As a result, an industrial chain of international division of labor for textiles has been formed: that is, Chinese textile companies are responsible for the production and processing of products; while other links in the industrial chain such as technology research and development, advertising, and global marketing network construction are still carried out by developed countries. Finish.

When more and more international business groups and capital holders have noticed China's advantages and tried to get a share of this industry, Chinese textile enterprises seem to have obtained unlimited opportunities. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, so we have the honor we mentioned at the beginning of this section. We already know that when the textile industry, as a fast-moving consumer goods, is largely controlled by economies of scale, reorganization and intensive operation have become the general trend of China's textile industry, and monopoly is almost a unified outcome.

At present, in the Chinese market, such a script is being staged. Ten years ago, there were still tens of thousands of enterprises in China's textile industry, but now the number has shrunk sharply, and the products have been concentrated in a few top-ranking enterprises. In this kind of industry-wide integration, the process is undoubtedly bloody. Yes, because the price war factor is excluded, the textile industry, a labor-intensive industry, no longer has any weapons to compete with. For China, this situation is even more prominent. China's textile industry has a very unique history of development. Its source mainly comes from state-owned enterprises invested by the state. In the tide of economic reform, these enterprises have settled in local areas one after another and become the main pillar of local finance. Under such circumstances However, when textile enterprises have the injection of foreign capital and do not have to worry about funds, they are more and more inclined to fight price wars with the financial, policy support and tax incentives of local governments.

Under the fierce price war, textile enterprises dare not raise prices in the face of rising costs, and their profits are extremely meager.In addition, with the continuous expansion of the international division of labor and the deliberate support of international capital, more and more underdeveloped countries have joined the competition in the textile industry, which makes the profits of Chinese enterprises less and less in the competition to lower prices . Conversely, the developed countries that have benefited from their operations continue to accuse Chinese textile companies of dumping goods at low prices. Under this internal and external attack, Chinese textile companies are under increasing pressure, which is no different from I ate a bitter pill that was hard to swallow.

In this vigorous international capital war, large-scale capital operations have changed the pattern of the world's textile industry, and even more profoundly changed the pattern of China's textile industry. Therefore, China's textile industry, which seems to have completed industrial integration, has actually facing a serious crisis. When the external crisis is approaching, the hidden dangers from within the industry will also make the Chinese textile industry in a difficult situation in the future. It is foreseeable that in the next 10 years, in China's home textile industry, there will inevitably be a large-scale industry reshuffle, sweeping away the small and scattered industry characteristics in the past, and even in the next three years. Within five years, China's textile product market will be highly concentrated.

Whether it is the state's macro-control, rising raw material prices, or a shortage of funds, the promulgation of the new labor law will pose a fatal threat to small-scale enterprises in the industry. More importantly, no matter whether it is international capital or national capital, in the integration of industries, those enterprises with high management level, strong management ability and excellent capital operation ability will always survive, and all social resources will also be transferred to them. Such corporate tilt. From this, we have come to a disastrous conclusion—under the premise of extremely small brand differences and weak capital strength, it is impossible for China's textile industry to escape the fate of being annexed in the face of powerful foreign capital.

If we examine ourselves soberly, we will find that China's textile industry has actually lost its seemingly golden crown in vain, but what it does is just a pawn of capital. If there is no fundamental change, what awaits China's textile industry will be an unprecedented catastrophe.
