The report pointed out that private enterprises are facing major pressures from tight capital chains, damage to industrial chains, and broken demand chains under the new crown epidemic.
Although many Chinese enterprises, especially export-oriented enterprises, are experiencing unprecedented pressure and impact, in the long run, economic globalization is still the trend of the times. The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution has not changed the division of labor and cooperation among countries. The long-term trend of mutual benefit and win-win results will bring a good external environment for the future development of Chinese companies.
The survey shows that in the face of pressure, some private enterprises are struggling to survive, such as cultural tourism companies, foreign trade companies, and manufacturing companies.
Another part of private companies, such as logistics companies, commercial and retail companies, large health companies, and digital companies, have grown against the trend due to industry advantages and scientific strategic decisions.
Enterprises in the e-commerce, remote office, and Internet smart medical industries have found new development opportunities in the epidemic.

The report shows that 41% of companies in the Yangtze River Delta have kept the number of workers hiring unchanged, and 17% of companies have also increased their recruitment scale.
In the face of employees from high-risk areas of the epidemic, private companies humanely arrange their work and life.
More than 50% of private enterprises have chosen to allow them to resume work normally, and some companies have chosen to leave their jobs without pay or stay with pay and other humanized measures.
For front-line workers and families in the fight against the epidemic, most companies have provided some care measures, such as adopting flexible commuting and reducing work intensity.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many private enterprises helped themselves by opening up new marketing methods and channels, exploring new consumer markets, and developing new production lines and products.
Among them, exploring new marketing methods and channels has become the first choice of many companies.
The survey shows that many private enterprises have begun to improve their cost structure. While choosing to develop new production lines and product lines, they have more refined management of cash flow.
Many private enterprises are expanding more ways to increase revenue by continuously developing new products, providing new services, and carrying out technological innovations to withstand the long-term market risks brought about by the epidemic.
According to the report, in the face of the industry growth pattern after the peak of the epidemic has passed, many private companies are considering changing their strategic layout.
Many private enterprises use online marketing models to actively stimulate demand.
