A small town decided to make a mask
When can I take off my mask? In Yuantan Township, this is a major concern.
From the Spring Festival this year to the present, this small town in Qianshan City, Anhui Province has been revolving around masks. There are dozens of mask-related shops all over the provincial road passing through the town. Advertisements for selling masks can be seen everywhere. The hotel also puts signs promoting its own masks in the guest rooms.
In addition to more places beside the provincial road, it is occupied by large and small enterprises that produce masks. Prior to this, the town was famous for the production of brushes and related products. In 2019, it was also awarded the title of "China's Brush Industry". When the epidemic broke out, a small town with a population of about 100,000 quietly began a transformation-the workshop that originally processed the brush was replaced with a mask machine, and the workers who welded the ear ropes worked overtime day and night, standing on the street and hearing the second floor of the hotel The "click" sound of the welding lug.
This excitement continued until May this year. As the epidemic continued to improve, the town was temporarily quiet. Chen Long, the owner of a brush factory that switched to a mask business, said that a month ago, the melt-blown cloth was tested at 500 yuan, but now it has dropped to 100 yuan. What worries him is the 7 million disposable flat masks hoarded in the warehouse.
The epidemic is gradually easing, the market is becoming more and more standardized, and masks are no longer expensive. This rapidly transforming town has once again reached a crossroads.
It’s not that we haven’t seen so much money, but we haven’t experienced so much in one day.
In Yuantan Township today, the shadow of masks can still be seen everywhere. Shops selling mask ear straps, nose bridges, and film machines are distributed on both sides of the avenue. The red inkjet cloth shows the name of the manufacturer and the order number. Cars with Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang licenses often appear on the roads of the town. Of merchants brought life to this small town.
The lively scene that masks bring to this town has impressed many people. As a result, the monthly income of a barbecue restaurant that opened in early March doubled. For a period of time, local hotel rooms were full day by day. A hotel delivers fast food to the mask factory from the first month, and at the same time, it supplies four or five hundred lunch boxes to seven or eight manufacturers. The express delivery industry is also busy. The only local SF express sales office has more than a dozen couriers working day and night during the New Year to ensure the basic operation of small town logistics.
For the first time, the Internet logistics service platform Carla entered the mountain foot town. Drivers pulled back equipment and auxiliary materials from other provinces, and transported the masks to the airport or port. Customers who are in a hurry to deliver have to increase the price, and a driver can earn 70,000 yuan a week.
Looking back at the upsurge in the town, Chen Long was feeling "incredible". 49-year-old Chen Long originally operated a brush factory here. On the fifth night of the first lunar month, Chen Long and some friends played in a smoking hotel. Several people talked about making money in the mask industry, and immediately decided to try it out. Four people invested 100,000 yuan each, and that night they were assigned a job. Some people were in charge of finding raw materials and someone was in charge of finding equipment.
Chen Long described himself entering the mask industry as a "blind cat." He didn’t even know where to buy the raw materials, so he had to ask a friend to consult in Qingcao Town, Tongcheng City—about 20 minutes’ drive from Yuantan Town. It is the only professional town for safety and health protection products in Anhui Province and the largest in East China Production base of protective masks. When pulling the raw materials, Chen Long learned that a disposable flat mask contains two layers of non-woven fabric and one layer of melt-blown fabric.
The disposable plane mask machine required for the production of masks is ordered from Xiantao, Hubei by telephone. At that time, Hubei Province did not allow outsiders to enter. Chen Long drove the film machine from the junction of the two provinces the next day. 20 sets of earphones with welding ear cords were pulled back from Changzhou to Yuantan at the same time, combined with a filming machine to form a production line.
At that time, the machine was not in demand, and the phone could be bought with one phone. Less than a week after the first production line was installed, Xiantao's original 170,000 yuan disposable flat mask machine rose to 280,000 yuan, and a month later it surged to 600,000 yuan, and the spot welding machine rose from 4,800 yuan to 2.2 Ten thousand yuan.
Zhu Yongsheng, a native of Yuantan Township, also participated in this hot business. He originally opened a furniture factory in Zhangjiakou. Because of the epidemic, the factory was unable to start work. He decided to resell the mask production equipment while living at home. Every day at five or six in the afternoon, Zhu Yongsheng drove a van for four or five hours to Changzhou to buy a spot welding machine, filled it up and pulled it back overnight, and sold it before going out. To save money, he took the machine apart and shipped it back in bulk in a car.
After two purchases, Zhu Yongsheng couldn't buy the whole machine. He went to different factories to buy parts, assembled and sold them back. "It's better to earn money." Zhu Yongsheng ran a dozen trips to Changzhou, reselling more than 100 spot welding machines.
On the third day after the decision to make a mask, on the eighth night of the first month, Chen Long's machines were all debugged. On the ninth day, a new mask factory was started.
Originally holding money to test the water, Chen Long did not expect that the market quickly gave them back: the masks produced were sold out and the packaging did not need to be played. The businessman who ordered the masks waited in the workshop in advance. Holding the box, the mask was produced and immediately taken away.
The net profit of a mask is 1.5 yuan, the machine is running 24 hours a day, and the daily income is 400,000 yuan. Chen Long placed the machine in his friend's factory, and at 12 o'clock every night, businessmen who drove from Jiangsu and Zhejiang waited outside the factory for shipment.
At that time, there were often calls from the "seven aunts and eight aunts" to ask Chen Long for masks, but the masks had been booked in advance, and some orders had been placed half a month later. Chen Long changed a mobile phone number to avoid the bombardment of relatives and friends.
"It's simply not allowed to think about anything else, it's on the mask every day." A few people kept purchasing materials, purchasing equipment, and supervising production 24 hours a day. Every morning, the people of the bank will come to count the cash on time, and the sound of "sweeping" money will be heard throughout the house. Such a "miracle" scene Chen Long only watched on TV before, "It's not that we haven't seen so much money, but we haven't experienced so much money in one day."
I want to stop in it
Before transforming into a mask, Chen Long has been making brushes. From selling brushes to opening his own factory, Chen Long has been in this business for 22 years. When the market conditions are good, the factory can earn RMB 4.5 million a year.
Brush industry is the leading industry in Yuantan Town. According to reports, the output value of the brush industry accounts for 82.9% of the industrial output value of the whole town of Yuantan Town. The blue sign marked "China's Brush Industry" stands at the intersection with the provincial road. Following the signs, people can find more than a dozen factories on the sign.
On weekdays, the town's brush factory is always busy, and the workshop is filled with the sound of "rumbling" machines. All kinds of brushes produced are sold all over the country and also sold overseas. The outbreak of the epidemic, the town's brush industry quickly fell silent. A brush seller stopped work for more than two months during the epidemic and lost 200,000 yuan.
Chen Long's brush factory also had to stop working. For him, transforming into a mask is tantamount to re-starting a business.
When the mask business started, Chen Long couldn't recruit the workers who welded the ear straps, and could only ask relatives and friends to find someone. Recruitment, and food became a problem. The restaurant was not open. Chen Long went to the village to find villagers who had previously run restaurants. A lunch box of 25 yuan was provided to provide lunch for the workers.
In the brush factory, the workers are responsible for the normal operation of the machine, and a fixed salary system is implemented. At first, Chen Long also implemented a fixed wage system for the ear welders, but he found that the production capacity of workers in the same workshop was very different. He could weld five or six thousand masks in 12 hours with fast hands, and only 2,000 pieces with slow hands. In order to increase the enthusiasm of the workers, the wage calculation method was changed to a piece-rate wage system.
Production efficiency will soon increase. In the workshop, the fastest hand worker can weld tens of thousands of masks a day, and the night worker can earn 0.12 yuan for one piece and 1,000 yuan for 12 hours.
People who were at home because of the epidemic have entered the mask factory. A truck driver said that he could earn five or six thousand yuan a month before running transport, but the welding mask could earn at least four or five hundred yuan a day. He and his wife began welding masks in the middle of the first month, and had not rested for more than a month in the night shift. Initially unfamiliar with the machine, his index finger's nail cover was accidentally scalded by the machine, and he continued to dry after two or three days of rest.
Welding ear ropes are physical work, step on the machine, take the mask rope in hand, and "pull and poke" a few times, a complete mask is formed. After sitting down for 12 hours, someone will have a foot pain. But there are still many people who are willing to enter the factory. A waiter at a local hotel heard that the welding mask made money and ran to the factory to ask the boss if he wanted to hire a worker. Leave a phone number and go to where the factory starts.
As a result, many hotels cannot recruit workers. Some hotels have urgently recruited waiters with a daily salary of 150 yuan, and no one has applied for them. The owner of a small clothing processing shop that opened in March this year said that processing clothes earns more than 100 yuan a day. The workers who came here did not do it for a few days and ran to the mask factory to weld the mask.
The owner of the clothing processing shop said that he “want to go” at first, and the couple ran to the mask factory to find a job, and after a few days they didn’t want to do it. “The money is good, so tired. ."
The welded masks were put into the blue basket next to the machine, and a notebook was hung on the machine, recording the work results of each worker’s day. No one rested and chatted, and everyone was working hard. " I can’t stop if I want to stop." In addition to locals, many people came from other towns, and some came from Shanghai garment factory to weld masks.
Chen Long no longer has to worry about hiring workers. When the second production line was set up, the new machine had not arrived home. The people who had registered in advance were full. Many people called Chen Long and asked him to work in his factory.
Chen Long quickly increased the production line of disposable flat masks from one to nine, and there was not enough space for the machine to be placed. The canteen in the plant was also requisitioned.
The dream of wealth of ten million yuan per month spread in the town. At the end of the first month, mask factories were established one after another. The town set off the first wave of mask making. At one time, printing shops, barber shops, and hotels all opened mask factories. Several people with funds partnered to open mask factories. Sell equipment and auxiliary materials, and some people buy several spot welding machines by themselves to process masks for the factory. Every morning and evening at 7 o'clock, the road is filled with workers who take over by electric car.
win-win
A mask manufacturer in Yuantan Town recalled that during that time in Yuantan Town, "as long as the hands can move, from the age of 80 to the age of ten, all are making masks."
When the domestic epidemic was severe, mask companies here, together with mask companies that were quickly established in many other places, filled the vacancy in the domestic mask market.
According to media reports, the data of the professional version of Tianyanzha shows that according to the industrial and commercial registration, from January 1 to May 31, my country's mask-related enterprises newly registered 70802, an increase of 1255.84% compared with the same period in 2019.
In order to ensure the quality of mask production, local market supervision departments launched a special action against the production and sale of counterfeit and inferior masks and other protective products. On March 12, Yang Hongcan, director of the Law Enforcement and Inspection Bureau of the General Administration of Market Supervision, said at the press conference of the Joint Defense and Joint Control Mechanism of the State Council that the special action Over the past month, more than 7 million law enforcement officers have been dispatched, 895,000 business operators have been inspected, and 80.66 million masks have been seized.
In order to strengthen the supervision of the export quality of medical materials, from April 10, the General Administration of Customs will carry out inspections of 11 medical materials such as medical masks, medical protective clothing and medical disinfectants for export commodities.
Xu Siqi is in charge of sales at a curtain company in Yuantan Town. When the mask business started, he was setting up a branch in Chongqing. In mid-March, the epidemic broke out abroad and the company's business was sluggish. The newly established Chongqing branch had no business to do because of the epidemic. The person in charge of the branch resigned and the workers could not be recruited.
Several managers of the company decided to cooperate to invest in the hood factory: 7 shareholders plus worker shares, the total investment was nearly 10 million yuan, and some shareholders borrowed loans from private bosses. The annual interest rate was as high as 12%. "At that time, I was thinking about making money. Think about risk."
At that time, several people negotiated to purchase two automatic KN95 mask machines and a disposable flat mask production line. Purchasing, sales and management, each person has a clear division of labor.
But at the beginning of production, it was because the equipment had grown up. On March 27, they introduced a friend and signed an "KN95 automatic point earphone" purchase contract with Anhui Automation Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., stipulating that the machine that arrived on April 10 will be delayed until April 20 and missed It's the golden period for mask sales in mid-April.
The purchased raw materials did not arrive on time. "At that time, the goods were very tight. He promised you to give them to you, but they would change and be snatched away by others at a high price."
The purchase contract signed by Xu Siqi and the other party in the face of the chaotic mask market has also become difficult to fulfill. People are scrambling for raw materials and equipment at high prices.
In Chen Long's view, the investment at that time was quite blind, but once it entered the market, it was difficult to stop the car. "It is like a trap, step by step."
At first, Zhu Yongsheng felt that the duration of the epidemic was unknown, the investment in building a factory was too large, and selling equipment was more secure. Seeing the peak of the second wave of masks with the outbreak of foreign diseases, Zhu Yongsheng was also moved. "At that time, people were distracted, and they saw that others also made money and that they also made money. A close friend, a friend called a friend, and five people work together in a mask business. On March 24, the company was incorporated.
Zhu Yongsheng is responsible for purchasing equipment and raw materials in the team. He took his son-in-law to Dongguan and found that Dongguan also repeated the story of Yuantan Town to a certain extent-those who make plugs and wires, as long as they have a little mechanical foundation, they all went to produce mask machines, and many factories spent Money to buy drawings for production.
Zhu Yongsheng spent nearly 400,000 yuan to buy a disposable plane mask machine. 15 spot welding machines were pulled back to Yuantan by a large truck overnight and placed in a temporarily rented factory building. The workshop where Zhu Yongsheng is located has five disposable mask production lines, which are managed by three companies.
Businessmen understand the principle of win-win cooperation: often people have to go to town to inspect the mask production capacity of suppliers, and place the production lines of several manufacturers in a workshop, which is not only convenient for information sharing, but also good for those who come to visit. impression. If there is a high order quantity from a manufacturer in the same workshop, other manufacturers can also share a piece of soup, and everyone can produce at the same time to ensure that they can supply huge orders in a timely manner.
Compared with other bosses, 59-year-old Zhu Yongsheng is more cautious. When going to Dongguan to buy a machine, Zhu Yongsheng had to try it before he was relieved.
The cost of machine maintenance is expensive. It costs thousands of yuan for workers to repair it, and it costs 5,000 yuan for more. Zhu Yongsheng knew how to save unnecessary costs for himself: he searched online for manufacturers of selling headphones and added WeChat to each other. The spot welding machine produced by Changzhou has better technology, and the workers have no trouble stepping on the foot. Zhu Yongsheng sent the pictures of the machine purchased there to the manufacturers who added WeChat to promote the improvement of the machine. As a result, he was given the opportunity to ask for free advice. When his machine was broken, he sent a video inquiry to the other party.
Towards stability
Although the market is full of risks, the merchants in Yuantan Town still gradually find a clear road for the transformation of the mask industry by means of wheels and mouths-to buy equipment to go to Dongguan and Changzhou, the masks made by Dongguan machines are neat and beautiful. The film rate is higher. Yangzhong in Jiangsu is the "hometown of meltblown cloth", and a major place of production of mask ropes is in Wenzhou, Zhejiang.
The booming mask business in the town also attracted businessmen from all over the country to look for business opportunities here. Sun Tongju acted as an agent at a Best Express sales office in Shanghai. In the middle of the first month, a friend who ran goods in Yuantan and Qingcao Town asked him to help him to inspect the mask market. Sun Tongju took part in this competition.
At first, they took the opportunity of transporting masks to dock with the manufacturers and offered to sell the masks to the manufacturers, but at the time the masks were selling well, and no manufacturers were willing to find them to sell on their behalf. The first attempt quickly failed. Later, Sun Tongju learned from friends that Changzhou is rich in meltblown cloth, and they drove a truck to Changzhou to inspect the meltblown cloth market.
At the beginning, they were responsible for sending the customer's melt-blown fabric to the designated mask manufacturer, and slowly became a middle-blown seller of melt-blown fabric. The previous experience of running transportation provided them with a smooth supply and demand chain for buying and selling melt-blown fabrics, and the first batch of fabrics sold earned 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
Since entering the mask industry in early April, they have been traveling between Changzhou and Qianshan, Tongcheng and other places on a daily basis, becoming a link in the transportation network for raw materials and masks.
Wu Hejing, who was originally engaged in the dance training industry, also found the way to the source of the town mask market. Wu Hejing's training institutions have opened a dozen branches in Huzhou, Zhejiang. During the epidemic, the spring training courses were delayed backwards, and the stores were closed for four months. They also had to bear the cost of manpower and rent, and lost seven or eight million yuan. He followed his father-in-law who was in the mask rope business to come to the market and rented a snack bar to sell the mask rope. Later, his wife and son also followed, and the family rented more than 2,000 yuan a month.
On the streets of Yuantan Town, many merchants selling mask ropes came from the same place: Mabu Town, Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Originally, the town has a raw material nylon needed for making mask rope. With the visit of the mask rope purchaser, the residents of the town realized that it was profitable to sell the mask rope, and they quickly transformed like the town of Tan.
Zheng Kewu, 47, was engaged in the spinning industry in Mabu Town. At the end of February, he bought two equipment for producing mask ropes. At that time, the mask ropes were sold without worry. The 200 kg of rope produced by the two machines a day was quickly bought. "Someone collected them on the road all night." In addition to supplying Anhui Province, the mask ropes they produced were also sold to Hubei, Henan, and Jiangsu provinces.
Mask ropes have been difficult to sell since mid-April. In order to find a market, mask rope manufacturers in towns have gone to run business in other places. Zheng Kewu and his uncle went to Qingcao Town in mid-March to sell mask ropes. When they arrived at Yuantan Town in mid-April, the mask ropes were still eager to get them.
Zheng Kewu's factory supplies up to four or five tons of mask ropes to Yuantan and Qingcao towns a day. I can't produce so many dozens of my own machines, and a small number of them have to be purchased from other manufacturers. Every day at 5 or 6 pm, a truck will depart on time from his factory in Mabu Town and arrive at the stores in the two towns the next morning. The mask ropes will be sold out within a day, and one ton can earn 45,000 yuan .
However, the good times did not last long. The mask market in Yuantan Town experienced a brief climax brought by the epidemic situation abroad, and it quickly calmed down and stabilized.
New business opportunities
Chen Long later realized that he could not lose money in the transformation of the town, largely due to the early transformation time. People summarized the mask business in Yuantan Town for several months and found that those who converted to produce disposable flat masks earlier made money, and most of those who invested in the production of KN95 masks lost money.
Compared with disposable flat masks, KN95 masks have considerable profits, but large capital investment. In mid-March, the sales of KN95 masks soared due to the epidemic situation abroad. Chen Lian tasted the sweetness. Chen Long spent more than 1.7 million yuan to buy a KN95 mask semi-automatic machine, and he returned the cost in 5 days. They immediately booked a second machine. The new machine was commissioned for 3 days at home. As soon as it was put into production, no one in the KN95 mask was interested.
Not only the KN95 masks, but also the sales volume of disposable flat masks dropped sharply in the middle and late April. The originally chaotic mask market was further regulated.
On April 25, the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Announcement on Further Strengthening the Quality Supervision of Anti-epidemic Materials Exports", which stipulates a list of non-medical mask manufacturing enterprises that have obtained certification or registration of foreign standards. Non-medical mask export enterprises that are not on the list must submit a joint declaration by the exporter and importer in electronic or written form.
Xu Siqi told reporters that although the announcement stipulates that companies that are not on the list can also declare exports by submitting a joint declaration, masks that have not obtained foreign standard certification are difficult to be recognized in foreign markets. Xu Siqi had a batch of 40,000 masks to be sent to the United States, because he was unable to obtain foreign certification and was unsalable. "Customers dare not accept it."
"Now it is shut down for production, and dare not produce without receiving orders." More than 7 million masks hoarded by Chen Long in mid-April were also unsalable. Within a month, the profit fell from 1.05 yuan to 0.95 yuan, 0.75 yuan, 0.55 yuan.
The ever-changing market provokes businessmen's nerves. When the mask price fell to 0.95 yuan, there was a short-term rebound in the price. Chen Long decided to continue to wait and see, and the result has not been waiting for the market to recover.
As the market threshold increases, the norms within the industry are gradually established. When meltblown fabrics are extremely sought-after, "as long as they are white" is fine. Chen Longhe and his partners purchased 11 machines for producing melt-blown fabrics at one time. They originally wanted to supply their own factories and then sell them to other manufacturers. After few days of production, the market required a filtration rate of melt-blown fabrics above 90. Chen The machine purchased by Long couldn't produce melt-blown cloth that meets the grade, and eventually became scrap iron.
However, Chen Long also quickly discovered a new business opportunity-in the past, meltblown fabrics did not pay attention to grades, and there was no place for inspection in the town. Hearing the news that "meltblown fabrics must reach the level", Chen Long immediately purchased a testing equipment from Hunan, and tested it for 500 yuan at a time, and the equipment worth more than 300,000 yuan quickly returned to its original cost.
Despite constantly trying to find new business opportunities, Chen Long had to face the reality that the mask market has changed from a seller's market to a buyer's market. On May 27, Chen Long sold 4 million masks at a price of 0.25 yuan, and a mask cost 0.3 yuan. The masks that were sold for more than a month were eventually sold at a loss.
The profits of each link are compressing. The wage of workers welding a mask gradually decreased from 0.12 yuan to 0.1 yuan, 0.08 yuan, and directly to 0.05 yuan by the end of May. The price of raw materials dropped sharply. Zheng Kewu's mask rope machine stopped production at the beginning of May. He began to clear his inventory. No one wanted the price of mask rope of 25,000 yuan per ton to 23,000 yuan. Zheng Kewu originally lived in a hotel at 164 yuan a night in the town. After 20 days of stay, he moved to the store and hit the floor. "Consumption is too high, it is not profitable now."
The town, which has been busy for two months, gradually became quiet. On the roadside storefront, merchants selling mask ropes can only be seen in the afternoon. There are trucks waiting for transport orders outside the door of the passenger transportation center station. Some people posted advertisements for mask factory transfer and clearance handling masks outside the factory.
In mid-March, the domestic epidemic situation continued to improve, and the brush factory in the town began to resume work one after another. Seeing the slump in the mask industry, some factories decided to sell the mask machine at a low price, to restore their old brush business, while others were busy with the brush business while continuing to look for foreign trade orders.
Chen Long's brush factory has not yet resumed work. Before the epidemic, the profit of a mask was 0.01 yuan. As long as the profit was greater than 0.01 yuan, he planned to continue to work. Chen Long feels that in order to break the current situation, it is necessary to cross the intermediate purchaser. "Zhejiang (people) purchase here to press our prices, we want to set up our own company."
On May 21, Zhonglong International Protective Equipment Information Service Co., Ltd., which was jointly invested by 11 shareholders, was incorporated. Two billboards about 5 meters long are standing at the entrance of the hotel and the must pass when arriving in the town, and the lights are also displayed at night. If you need it, you can enter the information sharing group through the QR code on the card. In the mask industry information group of people, there are often people who sell masks at low prices, buy melt-blown cloth, and look for packaging workers.
"We are a platform company that integrates resources, looking for businesses for manufacturers, and finding manufacturers for businesses." Chen Long hopes that the establishment of the company will help him out of the predicament, but the cooperation is not easy, and the three shareholders who are looking for orders outside have not returned good news. Chen Long knew in his heart that it was impossible for the market to return to February and March. "At that time it was extremely profitable and not normal."
Zhu Yongsheng feels that the profit of selling masks is getting lower and lower. While maintaining the operation of the furniture factory, he began to work actively in the brush industry. After the recommendation of a friend who made furniture, he got the first processing sheet of mechanical ash brush.
Xu Siqi's curtain factory also resumed production, but he had to continue running for masks. The three manufacturers who purchased equipment and raw materials were not refunded. While he was in lawsuit, he continued to run orders for the mask factory to minimize the early investment losses.
On May 27, he drove for more than ten hours to Changsha, Hunan, and reached a cooperation with a local company recognized by the Ministry of Commerce as having foreign certification qualifications to provide masks for him. On May 28th, the workshop rang again with a "tap" sound.
Xu Siqi agreed with a foreign trade company in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, to first produce 300,000 masks. If the other party is satisfied with the product, they can cooperate for a long time. The machine ran for a day and night, and Xu Siqi took 300,000 masks to Yiwu early in the morning. He gave each other a price of 0.8 yuan for a mask. After two days of talks, it was not negotiated-more than one came to fight for the export order, and the order was finally robbed by the lower-priced producer.
Xu Siqi lamented that the business was difficult to do. "It's all up to you to save yourself now. It's impossible for you to wait for the market to come to you." In 10 days, he ran three provinces to find export orders. Before going to Pingxiang, Jiangxi, Xu Siqi negotiated a price of 0.95 yuan for a KN95 mask with the other party. As a result, when the other party met, he changed his mind and said that he could only get 0.45 yuan. "I don't even have enough books." Xu Siqi went to Changzhou, Jiangsu Participated in the global anti-epidemic material trade exhibition and found that there were all sellers and no buyers.
Xu Siqi still has expectations. The EU's classification of protective masks is: FFP1 (80% protection level), FFP2 (94% protection level) and FFP3 (99% protection level). A Spanish customer ordered Xu Siqi several hundred thousand pieces of N95 masks with FFP2 grade, but the foreign-qualified enterprises that cooperate with Xu Siqi only have the right to export FFP1 protective masks. The company told him that FFP2 grade The export rights of protective masks will be approved as soon as possible, which makes Xu Siqi feel that he "has the opportunity to make a comeback."
He hopes that the good news will come soon.
