Although RMB has appreciated more than 30% since 2005, the currencies of Southeast Asia and China's neighboring countries have appreciated more.

At Yang Hujun's desk stood a photograph of his world map with his colleagues. Because of his excellent Japanese, many Japanese telescope brands and optical lenses have become him. Customer So that he is all in the unit. Colleague Nickname is "telescope". "Export business developed very fast in the 90s of last century. When we went abroad to participate in the exhibition, almost all the foreign customers would sign the bill on the spot." Looking at the photos at the table, Yang Hujun sighed to reporters, "but with the fierce competition in the market and the development of science and technology, traditional telescopes are being developed. market Atrophy, coupled with China's exchange rate reform after 2005, does make the company's export business face serious challenges.

The situation is better than expected. Yang Hu Jun found that although the renminbi has appreciated by more than 30% since 2005, the currencies of Southeast Asia and China's neighboring countries have appreciated more. "Relatively speaking, the renminbi still has certain advantages."

"Southeast Asian countries and regions such as the four Asian dragons have all been US dollar economies, but in terms of monetary policy, they are increasingly staring at the renminbi to maintain their export price advantage relative to the mainland of China. In this process, the devaluation of currencies and imported inflation have become a serious problem faced by these economies. " Xu Zhiqian, general manager of China value investment fund, told the international finance daily, "for example, Vietnam's inflation rate is about 17%-18% this year. Although the United States is still its largest export destination country, the large depreciation of the Vietnamese shield has made it even more difficult to cope with the surge in the prices of imported bulk commodities and agricultural products."

Improve productivity and reduce costs

Replacing manpower with machines, though in advance, will save a lot of cost for enterprises in the long run.

Reporters in an optical instrument export enterprise in Shanghai, they have begun to improve production efficiency by improving the automation rate of production lines, so as to achieve the goal of reducing efficiency and increasing efficiency. Zheng Tianshun, general manager of the enterprise, told reporters: "originally, there were more than 1000 people in our factory. Now, by introducing advanced production equipment, the labor force of more than 400 people has been saved." Zheng Zong said, "the cost of workers' wages has increased from 800 yuan to 900 yuan a few years ago to 2000 and 3000 yuan now. The growth rate is very fast. The replacement of manpower by machines is a great investment in the long run, but in the long run, it can still save a lot of costs for enterprises."

Although the foreign trade environment is not good, but Zheng Tianshun said that their products are still 100% exports. "Our factory is supporting foreign companies, so to say that the impact of the RMB problem or labor cost problem is not the last round of the financial crisis to our impact. So we are not afraid of anything else, but we are afraid of turbulence.

Due to the extensive use of automation equipment, the product structure of enterprises has also changed. In addition to some traditional businesses, they also started producing optical lenses such as cell phones and cameras. "In fact, the new business competition is still fierce, but it is better than the enterprise has not changed." Zheng Zong said, "to engage in industry is very hard, many ways and tricks are forced out, and I go to foreign countries to investigate. In fact, foreign enterprises engaged in industry are also gradually coming through, and they have gone through two world wars."

"With the rise of China and the development of new developing countries, our neighboring countries are likely to provide support for China's industry in the future, rather than China's manufacturing enterprises supporting foreign industries as it is now." Xu Zhiqian told reporters that "in the next 5-10 years, Chinese enterprises must only adhere to industrial upgrading and enterprise innovation to find a way out, and these 5-10 years are the" time window "of Chinese export enterprises. There is not much time left for Chinese enterprises. "
