Peng market town, place name first appeared in "Mianyang state records" of the Qing dynasty, China was the inland town of Hubei and the whole economic development banner. It is located southeast of downtown Linyi 10 kilometers away, with a total population of 10 million, but the public, but to produce nearly half of all Chinese non-woven products, accounting for a quarter of global market share, selling products in Europe and America market in recent two decades, become a veritable "China's largest non-woven products processing export base."

After the Spring Festival, "to maintain normal production of not more than 20", the situation worsened far beyond the field of human Peng all past experience and imagination.

Recruitment brand is just a "symbolic" Before Taxi off into the field of road leading to Peng, the "Daily Economic News" reporter began to imagine the upcoming scene: everywhere new plant foundation dug everywhere that read " Urgent "on the red paper recruitment notices, flooded the streets of yellow non-woven materials, too busy no time to speak of workers and machines operate 24 hours a day ......

Can be in front of the reality beyond the reporter's surprise, the whole Peng market town, "Daily News" reporter felt an unusually "quiet" and even people can not find "Yinianzhiji spring "feeling. "This whole situation is very general Peng field, as in previous years no less serious recruitment difficulties." No other reporters' questions, Xiantao City Health Products Co. Deming answer Biao Marketing Manager will take the initiative to give problems.

For the side of the road is still visible recruitment notices, he gives a somewhat sad people explained: "In fact, that is just a symbol of recruitment brands, enterprises must put in there to getting people to know you here this year. something to do, otherwise I thought you were closed. "opinion, and that much" "compared to troubled areas and enterprises, this year's export situation with non-woven industrial town known for Peng market indeed" no labor shortage general". This reporter from young female cadres Yefang get confirmed, she is in charge of Xiantao Peng market town business recruitment work of deputy mayor, "This time last year, companies will come to us to reflect the difficulties, this year there is little movement . "anonymity nonwoven private business owners, he says that at present whether the new employees is indeed a very difficult question to make a decision," as the boss, we certainly hope to provoke new employees, but people came, we will worry about whether there is something to do. "According to its disclosure, he can do orders on hand of the end of March," this is not only our family, Peng field started in the vast majority of enterprises are faced with the following orders can no . make the situation "in this regard, president of the Association nonwoven Xiantao Fu Lixin told the" daily economic News "interview when he admitted:" the current situation is indeed very serious, because the RMB appreciation, rising production costs and fluctuations in the external economic environment and other aspects of reasons, from last year in August 2010, the entire industry, overseas orders will significantly decrease. "he further disclosed that, in this situation," Peng field before large and small non-woven more than 1,000 enterprises, Chinese New year former bankruptcies to 150, about 40 remaining after the Spring Festival. currently, the rest of the companies which can maintain normal production not more than 20. "teenagers who disappeared in Xiantao City, non-woven industry, and the whole China non-woven business, this year 56-year-old Fu Lixin can be regarded as a character. Its new chairman of Hubei Plastic Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as emerging companies) in 2010 exports worth $ 34.04 million, ranking the forefront of the domestic industry. As the domestic industry's "pioneer", Fu Lixin think Peng field non-woven export enterprises are facing the biggest problem is not the temporary lack of orders, but a serious shortage of talent issues.

"With the continuous expansion of business scale, our employment needs and personnel requirements are getting higher and higher," he exclaimed, "now is more and more difficult to recruit people, especially in the last five years, basically move come in and keep them are over 40 years old middle-aged, more women, basically do not see the young man. "the actual situation is true, Peng market town in the number of enterprises in the workshop" daily Economic News "reporter to see the most is the middle-aged women, and even some of the older old Granny, young people could not find the figure almost. For this, as "80" Biao deepest feelings. He was in college after graduating from the PRD career a few years later, construction finally decided to come back home. He told reporters: "Peng field non-woven business inside the general workers a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan in general, even in many major cities, such wages are too low." Nevertheless, the company is located and Peng Biao place some companies, like fellow teenagers or difficult to retain their rush to leave footsteps, "we have been to Wuhan to recruit people to treatment is considered very good, but just no one wants to come."

As a native Laopeng field people, Fu Lixin very reluctant to stay in the juvenile understand those reasons home, his "Daily Economic News" frankly, this is essentially due to the tremendous changes in the structure of the local population and people's attitudes, "must now most families have only one child, whether young college graduates want to go out and try again, they will have a yearning for the outside world, do not want to stay at home in this industry. "he also stressed that as Peng field foundry industry is a nonwoven fabric manufacturing, "the workshop is indeed hard work, today's young people mostly eat this bitter. I feel now is the rural population do not have the stamina, set up factories in 40 years of experience has taught me more and more deeply feel this. "in order to retain the talent needed by the enterprise as much as possible, Fu Lixin business just to employees a raise," technical strong point of trades increased by 15 points, the general staff of five wage increase points to the field workers increased by 10 points. "but with the first generation of migrant workers and gradually withdraw from the natural aging of the labor market, these enterprises to attract the new generation of migrant workers voluntary long-term leave, not raise so simple.

At the same time, as China's massive urbanization movement, the outside world does also give young people more opportunities and possibilities. "because of this, in addition to having those cold and the roar of the machine, color Peng market town monotonous and many Chinese inland town as being entangled in the same dilemma: those born and bred Pianpianshaonian who crop after crop to hesitate to abandon their homeland, went far to find a dream.

Fu Lixin also told reporters bluntly: "If we continue to maintain the existing product mix, just those guarding old customers, old equipment and old products live, so we just wait for death. "he repeatedly stressed that the non-woven domestic enterprises have to do now is to shift from industrial products subject medical grade," only the adjustment of export product structure, enterprises can strengthen their ability to resist risks; only through the adjustment of product structure in order to give enterprises real turning point.
