Guangdong Shunde is China's "home appliance capital" and the source of the world's well-known home appliance supply chain. Air conditioners, microwave ovens, coffee makers and other products occupy the first place in the world. The reporter's front-line investigation found that with the assistance of the local government, Shunde's home appliance enterprises, while preventing and controlling the new crown pneumonia epidemic, quickly resumed work and resumed production to ensure stable supply in the global market.
As long as there is a chance, never breach of contract due to force majeure
Not long after the news of a batch of goods leaving Hong Kong was issued on February 16, a letter of thanks from Wal-Mart arrived in Guangdong Xinbao Electric. The letter said that thank Xinbao for its efforts to put the products on the shelves of global stores on schedule.
Guangdong Xinbao Electric is one of the world's well-known small household appliance suppliers, accounting for 10% of the global small household appliance market share, and some major products, such as coffee machines, have already accounted for 40% of the global market share.
"A lot of customers are very anxious, and they kept calling and faxing us at the end of January, and wanted to know the pace of the company's return to work." Said Zeng Zhanhui, president of Guangdong Xinbao Electric Co., Ltd.
On February 11, the first batch of Xinbao's goods successfully left the port. At present, the return rate of Xinbao employees has exceeded 70%, and half of the orders have been delivered as scheduled. With the rapid recovery of production capacity, the remaining orders will be delivered to customers in the next week or two.
"Stable supply is our responsibility, and Chinese companies must have this responsibility." Zeng Zhanhui said.
The same choice was made by Galanz, a world-renowned microwave oven and white goods supplier. From January 23 to the present, Liang Zhaoxian, the chairman of Galanz Group, has not slept a complete sleep-daytime is "Beijing time", focusing on anti-epidemic work and resumption of work; evening is "international time", through the Internet, telephone and other ways Maintain close communication with core customers worldwide.
"As long as the company has a slight chance, it will never allow breach of contract due to force majeure factors during external delivery, and it must be able to solve and take responsibility in the face of even greater difficulties." Liang Zhaoxian said.
At present, Galanz's production capacity has basically returned to normal, and its export target for the first quarter of this year is set to increase by 15%.
As of the end of February, all 2,252 enterprises in Shunde had resumed work, and the “home appliance capital” actively resisted risks.
Go all out
Li Feng, the deputy general manager of the microwave oven manufacturing company that has been in R & D for 17 years, has gained a new identity during this time-the mobile production staff of the 11th production line of the final assembly workshop.
"Identify the problem on the spot, solve the problem, and top it as a mobile force when necessary." Li Feng said when introducing his job responsibilities.
The general manager leaves the workshop to be a worker, which is a new thing in the Galanz workshop recently. Since the resumption of work, Galanz has sent more than 160 managers down to the production line to work as workers. "It is a state of wartime. It used to be a general and now it is a soldier." Liang Zhaoxian said.
Behind the home appliance industry in Shunde, there are partners and suppliers all over the country, and tens of thousands of supporting companies took less than two weeks from suspension to restart, which is beyond many people's imagination.
In order to promote the smooth operation of the industrial chain, Shunde organized nearly 2,000 party members and cadres to serve as liaison officers for large and small enterprises, and brought more than 50 supporting policies with landings to provide comprehensive services for enterprises to resume work from the aspects of masks, flow of people, and logistics.
Guangdong Shunwei Precision Plastic Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned manufacturer of plastic air-conditioning fan leaves, accounting for more than one-third of the world market share. When the reporter visited on February 27, I saw that the factory was full of large trucks that were loading, and the automated production line running at high speed in the workshop, 57 products were off the line every minute, and the temporary warehouses between the workshops were full. Finished products to be shipped worldwide.
"It's busier than the same period of the previous year." Mo Qiyan, president of the company, said that the Wuhan branch stopped production, and they transferred out production materials to produce and supply from the Guangdong factory and other bases. The ex-factory price is the same as before. Cost to the customer. "
So is Sunway, and so is Xinbao. Zeng Zhanhui said that in order to keep the supply chain smooth, Xinbao Electric sent its own technical workers to help the suppliers. "Some suppliers start with only one boss with seven or eight employees, and the supply can keep up."
Towards an open world
For Liang Zhaoxian, Galanz has been changed a lot this year, taking more initiative to change and gain more initiative.
After completing the economic indicators last year, it will grow by 35%, invest another 10 billion yuan, and recruit more 10,000 front-line employees, 1,000 college students and 1,000 engineers ... Galanz has set its goal for this year.
"After this epidemic, enterprises' ability to deal with risks, emergency mobilization, and industry chain integration will be greatly improved." Liang Zhaoxian said.
The feedback obtained by the reporters in the first-line research shows that because of continuous supply, no reduction, and no price increase, the strong performance capabilities and integrity awareness shown by Chinese companies this time have further consolidated the status of "Made in China" in overseas markets. .
"Our overseas orders in March and April are higher than the same period last year, and new orders have been scheduled to May." Zeng Zhanhui said that the purpose of Xinbao is to try its best to restore production capacity to 100% or even 110%, and to "lost two "Month".
