During the National Day this year, an international hardware fair will be held in Dazu County. At that time, domestic and international hardware companies, various hardware products and new hardware technologies will gather in Dazu Hardware International Exhibition Center.
Behind this exhibition is the once brilliant Dazu hardware industry that has continued to decline for many years. The local government hopes that through the exhibition, it will look for business opportunities for hardware companies, increase the visibility of Dazu Hardware, and help the hardware industry to regain its former glory.
Before this, a transformation and upgrading action to revitalize the Dazu hardware industry has quietly begun...
Hardware is hard to make big at the end of August, a domestic automobile manufacturing company called Dazuo Huang Changchun, said he would like to take the helm of Chongqing Chang En Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Chang En Machinery) to conduct inspections. Huang Changchun readily agreed, because he knew that this is likely to be an opportunity to obtain an order and it must not be missed.
This kind of thing is too common and may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of outsiders. However, for Huang Changchun, there is a huge change in this one.
In 1993, more than 20-year-old Huang Changchun followed the "trend" of the Dazu people and opened a small workshop in Longshui Town to produce hardware products such as hinges, hinges and latches. A rented house of more than 100 square meters, two machines worth less than 20,000 yuan, is almost all of the "workshop" of this small workshop. Huang Changchun was both a boss and a worker. He tirelessly started the machine and cultivated his future.
After a period of time, the annual operating scale of small workshops reached one or two million yuan, and Huang Changchun tasted the sweetness of the venture. He rented a few hundred square meters of houses, bought a few new machines, and recruited a few new workers. He hopes to make the business bigger. But in the next few years, no matter how hard he worked, the scale of small workshops is always difficult to raise to a higher level. He was caught in an endless trouble.
Also unchanged are the houses used for small workshops and their contents. The shabby walls, the roof that leaked when it rained, the dim light, the cluttered objects, and the old desk that was used for office had kept Huang Changchun from confident for years. Every time someone proposes to come to the factory to look at it, he will find all kinds of reasons and refusal. He is afraid that those who originally intended to buy their products will, when they see the factory buildings look shabby, will instead decide not to buy them.
Now recalling these, Huang Changchun's biggest emotion is that "small hardware is easy to use, but it's too difficult to do it!"
In Dazu County, where the history of the development of the hardware industry of the millennium, hardware is hard to make big. In fact, it is a common phenomenon. According to local industry estimates, there are at least 10,000 hardware makers in Dazu County, and most of them are small workshops doing hardware business. In recent years, many local hardware merchants can only achieve an annual operating scale of less than 1 million yuan. Even a few million yuan can be very good. Even few million yuan can be called. most successful.
Why is the rise of industrial incubation parks like this? Chen Junpei, director of Dazu County Hardware Innovation Service Center, said that hardware such as knives, scissors, locks, and tools belong to hardware and are generally used in homes. Its added value is low, and the market cake is not very big. For example, a kitchen knife worth tens of dollars can be used for several years. When a family buys this year, you don't know what year to buy it. This obviously will restrict the development of related companies in an objective manner.
Even in the hardware industry, Zhejiang Yongkang, where the status quo is far more than Dazu, and Yangjiang, Guangdong, a small number of very successful hardware companies (such as Shi Zizi) have annual sales of only RMB 2-3 billion. "Compared to this, large hardware used in industrial manufacturing and other fields not only has a high added value, but also has a huge market prospect."
It is because of this understanding that since 2003, Huang Changchun has stopped the production of hardware. At that time, he saw that the motorcycle industry in Chongqing was booming and he switched to motorcycle accessories. Last May, he also invested more than 3 million yuan, bought more than 10 acres of land, built a new factory, and began to enter the field of auto parts and agricultural machinery parts.
However, in Dazu County, most owners of hardware companies do not have this awareness of transformation and upgrading. "Although their companies are difficult to make big, even stagnant, but they still cling to this position in the hardware, do not look for other ways." Chen Junpei told this reporter.
Seeing this situation, the government is anxious. Because in the eyes of the government, the transition from hardware to hardware is a necessary path for the Dazu hardware industry that has been declining for more than 10 years to rejuvenate its former glory.
In September 2006, Dazu County raised the banner of revitalizing the hardware industry. Subsequently, the local government built a hardware industry incubator park in Longshui Town, and also set up hardware service centers, testing centers, heat treatment centers, and other public service platforms to provide policy support and support for hardware companies in land use, technological transformation and upgrading, etc. .
Since then, the local government has also come up with money and often organizes some hardware business owners to visit other places to study and participate in various hardware exhibitions. At the same time, we also do everything possible to introduce Zhejiang, Guangdong and other well-known hardware companies to invest in Dazu.
"One of the purposes of the government to do these things is to guide Dazu Hardware Corporation to broaden its horizons, change its concepts, and take the first step in transformation and upgrading," said Lu Yunfei, deputy director of the Dazu County Science and Technology Commission.
Under the guidance of the government, Chen Mingyou, who has been producing hand-saws for years in small workshops, saw business opportunities for providing raw materials for many local hardware companies. At the end of last year, he formed a joint venture company with a hardware company in Zhejiang. In May of this year, the only steel belt company in Dazu was officially put into production.
Zeng Yong, who has formed a brand-new industrial chain in the past to perform heat treatment on tools, also hopes to do a great job in the hardware industry. In March this year, he jointly invested 10 million yuan with several friends, registered a machinery manufacturing company, and built a spacious factory in the hardware industry incubator park.
Zeng Yong set the direction of development for this machinery manufacturing company, mainly the production of general-purpose silencers at home and abroad, as well as the manufacture of brake pads for automobiles and motorcycles. At present, the company's pass-through muffler samples have already gone offline and will soon be brought to market.
There are even more hardware companies joining the ranks of transformation and upgrading. According to Lu Yunfei, after the efforts of the government and enterprises in recent years, the traditional hardware of the county is undergoing transformation of automobile and motorcycle accessories, casting hardware, mining machinery, agricultural machinery and other major hardware, forming more than 10 categories and more than 200 varieties. , covering the industrial chain of raw materials, molds and hardware products processing and manufacturing.
"In the course of such a transformation, the company has hardships and gains," said Huang Gongli, general manager of Chongqing Yude Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yude Machinery).
As early as the 1990s, he worked with his brother to open a steel ball factory in Longshui Town. In this line, they have been doing business for more than 10 years and the business has always been good. It is best that the annual business volume reaches more than 10 million yuan, which is the greatest in Dazu Hardware Corporation. The brothers once smug their composure.
A few years ago, due to the difficulty in the scale of production and operation of the steel ball plant, Huang Ching-ry decided to switch from hardware to hardware and make auto parts production. Because he found that many domestic large hardware companies, the annual operating scale is frequently hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and the overall situation is much stronger than that of hardware companies.
However, in the auto parts industry, which is not a profitable industry, Suide Machinery has lost money every year. Huang Ching-li did not see the hope of making the company bigger. He will find another way out. Thus, in the past three years, he often carried a large bag of luggage and went to the famous hardware companies throughout the country to study and inspect. He wants to understand the reasons why these companies are doing well and doing great things, and then inspire them to do what they should and how they should do it.
After such learning, Huang Gongli triggered inspiration in 2009, has invested millions of dollars in research and development of wind power pitch yaw, cement mixer hydraulic system and battery car template. A few months ago, a battery car template that was not deformed when heat-treating was introduced, and soon it was sold to a large number of battery car companies in Wuhan and Jiangxi. The 100 employees of Yude Machinery are often too busy to work overtime. This made Huang Gongli excited.
The pace of pursuing Yongkang Yangjiang is even more proud. It is because the template of the battery car produced by similar companies needs to be deformed during heat treatment. This kind of template can be used to sell for a good price.
In May of this year, the battery car mold of a domestic company was deformed due to the heat treatment of the template and was returned by foreign customers. The company’s boss immediately found Huang Gongli to discuss the purchase of the template. At that time, the domestic price of the battery car templates was generally around 1,100 yuan, but Huang Gongli’s asking price was nearly 700 yuan higher than this. Even so, the other party still bought a template for Ritek.
Today, the annual output value of Suide Machinery has reached nearly RMB 30 million, which is equivalent to more than twice as much as Huang Gongli’s production of steel balls. In the recent period of time, Handan Machinery has cooperated with several companies and agencies to develop high-speed rail iron pads. At the beginning of September, Huang Chengli will bring this iron plate to the Ministry of Railways for testing. "If you successfully pass the test, relying solely on this product, the company will be able to take advantage of opportunities to repair high-speed rail everywhere in the country. Within a year, it will achieve 100 million yuan, and within a few years it will reach several hundred million yuan." .
In Chen Youyou's steel belt company, Dazu's local hardware company has become about 50% of its customers. Chen Mingyou optimistically estimates that the company’s annual output value can reach 300 million yuan, which is much stronger than hand-saws.
Huang Changchun also saw hopes after the transition. Since last year, his constant machinery has been cooperating with the Changan Group and the Jialing Group to provide the vehicle brake system accessories and agricultural machinery accessories for the latter two. At present, the company's annual output value exceeds 10 million yuan, almost 10 times that of his previous hardware. At the same time, the new factory building has reached nearly 10,000 square meters, spacious and bright, there are dozens of machines and dozens of workers inside, there is no longer Huang Changchun's desk - his office outside the plant, though not Luxurious and stylish, it is "like a real office."
Now, anyone who wants to come to the company to look at it, Huang Changchun is no longer afraid to refuse like he used to, but smiles to meet. "With this change in the company, my confidence will come." He said.
With the transformation of these enterprises, Dazu hardware industry has significantly improved. Lu Yunfei still remembers that a few years ago, the tax revenue of only one chemical company accounted for 67.0 percent of the county's tax revenue. It made a “sneeze†and the county’s economy had to “cold.†Now, most of the county tax revenue comes from the hardware industry. The hardware industry has become a pillar industry in Dazu.
In spite of this, compared with Zhejiang Yongkang and Guangdong Yangjiang, Dazu's hardware industry still has a big gap. For example, in 2008, the total output value of Yongkang's hardware industry was as high as 50 billion yuan. In Dazu, the total output value of the hardware industry in 2009 was only 11 billion yuan.
“So, how to further support the transformation and upgrading of hardware companies and expand the industry has become a problem that the government is thinking about.†Lu Yunfei said.
