In 2008, the leather industry is now facing a series of changes in the new situation: the Olympic Games, the opportunity to co-exist with the crisis; cost prices, the appreciation of the renminbi, the development of enterprises are facing a bottleneck? Introduction of the new labor law, labor relations in enterprises face the freezing point? So, to resolve policy and where?

Olympic marketing is visual fatigue, focus on good products (Xu Jian, general manager of奥康皮)

All of you are in the leather industry veteran, as we all know is Aokang shoes started to do and has done for 20 years before formally entering the last year, handbag leather articles, cases in the industry, we have the Golden Lion Road Shiling have their own production base. Games can get the identity of the supplier, the enterprise is of course He is a business card and, more importantly, the state certainly Aokang brands. In fact, I think now that the Olympics marketing visual fatigue factor will be inside, such as Samsung can not afford to sponsor the Olympic Games as made by the myth of enterprise development. Olympics come to today, may not give businesses much of the very practical things.
Publicity is to make a key or their own strength to Enhancing. Beginning of this year, Aokang to "do fine products, strong R & D, good service, strengthen the management and control" as the focus of the work. Aokang Olympics last year, has made leather goods suppliers, in its above also sponsors and partners, a total of 63, these partners are more state-level corporate giants, such as National Grid, such as Sinopec, sponsorship fees are on even the几个亿billion.

We also invited as ad spokesman Liu is also the hope that he can use the title, so that ads can be a better return on investment, of course, this must be the people and the expectations of all of you here. We have also just provided to the State Sports General Administration a number of rod box, and this is our leather products as a supplier of the Olympic Games is all about. In any case, we still have to tie in with the Olympic Games an opportunity to increase income and reduce expenditure, and refined products, do a good job in research and development, network building in order to better cope with the cost of price hikes, appreciation of the renminbi and other issues.

Expert Perspective
Labor Contract Law (law firm in Guangdong China and the United States British dragon)

I mainly talk about the labor contract law implementation and the relationship between employers and employees to deal with two aspects:
First, the Labor Law of the impact of manufacturing enterprises. January 29 last year, in the current market environment ahead of the national introduction of a law. But a law to solve many practical problems not too realistic. After the new law introduced last year to this year, Huawei, in the petrochemical industry, Wal-Mart and other companies ahead of the end of last year to change the labor co-operation. Last year, the Guangdong labor disputes increased 3-6 times. Now the country introduced a labor dispute arbitration law, the deepening of the past. Extended to one year, many companies refused to accept the outcome, through the second instance, appeals, stalling for time. Now, the arbitration provisions in an amount not exceeding 12 times the wages of employees shall not be sued. There is also a sending unit of a variety of disputes. At present, common disputes include: leather is a labor-intensive industries, in general take the piece rate, overtime also by the piece, now such an approach the point of death. Dongguan, an enterprise requiring a company to pay employees overtime wages, the employee is legal. Enterprises can adjust the rules and regulations to ease the dispute. Signed a contract, both parties must abide by. Enterprise sales jobs general way to implement performance-based, not up to standard, on the bottom out. In fact, this is illegal. Law, incompetent staff, first notice of assessment after. Once a dispute arises, companies may pay double compensation.
Look at the issue of social security. Guangzhou by the standard, companies pay 400, 200 individuals have to pay. The resignation of a staff, the company reported that the company did not pay social security wages. Some enterprises, the employees are foreign, temporary workers, their demands do not help me buy it, and signed an agreement with the staff, both voluntary. But this is against the law. In fact, the employees have found new units at the time, is to find a reason for their resignation. Good separation procedures, he will not buy a social security company. Some companies come up with an agreement, the wage has been included in social security, but still lose. If all the buy some small and medium-sized social security, labor costs increased by 30%. The end of last year to have a business to retain employees can not quit. Required to pay employees overtime pay. The company come up with manuals, employee overtime, over in three months. Staff say that they do not know, no evidence of the company. An enterprise, not the attitude of a few employees, one found in gambling, or even the impact of the work. Enterprises that can be used as grounds for dismissal. In the dismissal of the former, it is necessary to write a review of staff report that staff in violation of rules and regulations. After the dismissal of four employees to the labor arbitration, and later in favor of business. Many companies before the end of 2007, there is no sign the labor contract. There is a company, the end of last year, seize the time to sign. An employee to resign, did not sign, had to resign after a week the year. Been to arbitration, there is no contract, no insurance policy. Although the business of innocent people, but the fact that this is the case. If the employee does not sign a contract, there must be evidence. Failed to protect the sense of enterprise. In addition, the contract should be renewed promptly. Month delay, to pay double wages, do not sign into a one-year fixed-term contract. To remind the business: the legitimacy of both procedures, the company day-to-day acts and regulations not in conflict with the law, it is necessary to pay attention to the collection and retention of evidence.
What to collect and retain evidence? First, the company recruit employees and to retain employment conditions, the probation period when speculation bring it up; Second, employees entry to the signing of rules and regulations; three employees did not sign a contract to retain the return receipt; Fourth, employees failed the examination; V. violations penalties; 7, document management. An employee resigns, is back to work, said that there was no go, the company can not prove. Proposed corporate records, the documents to the staff, asked to sign. Can not accept the oral resignation, otherwise, the staff is gone, again, a passive enterprise. Must report in writing to resign and the resignation of employees, wages to sign for.

Live Q & A:
Q: wages of different levels, whether the purchase of uniform standards of social security?
A: If the employee is not been, yes, we can; but once the staff were enterprise very passive. Enterprises must be in accordance with the law, regardless of how many kinds of salary standards, according to the proportion of the purchase of real income.
Q: not to buy voluntary social security, but also a breach of, how to deal with this situation?
A: This is a legal risk. State of the realization of the provisions of the insured to have a deadline: the entry from the employees, if the company did not give his social security to buy, then after two years, two years ago will require the social security issue. This point we have a room to master, but in any case, if the enterprises do not buy the social security in accordance with the law, both sides have an agreement or an individual act, is not this operation.


Businesses that:

The new labor law and raw material prices had no effect on enterprises (Wang Qiang, general manager of Star tanneries)
Introduction of labor law and raw material prices, I think no impact on the enterprise. Because we face the same environment, we are all under the same conditions. Needs of all markets, our corporate efforts to find a market demand. For example, leather,四五六月were doing relatively well, but I have always been good business. Why good? First and foremost is our intention to develop, followed by the market demand is always there, like the bag of these, it is impossible not. Therefore, we have consciousness, do not want to abandon the concept of the market. Market more difficult to do, the more we should bravely face the market. From another point of view, the survival of the fittest now entered the situation, the ongoing industry consolidation. Everyone in the competition and brand strength.

Expert Perspective
Appreciation of the renminbi (Fonda Easy Fund Zhang Le principal investigator):
I study the macro-economy, a big change from the background and analysis of two issues: the exchange rate and the economy. I hope to bring more business to help operators:
First, appreciation. Why China's rise? The most basic reason is that China's relatively the United States and other countries, labor productivity growth rate. As we all know, has been from 98 years to 2002, inflation is relatively low rate of inflation into deflation, the price is relatively low, so the result is increased product competitiveness, China's exports increased significantly. Particularly evident from the beginning of 2004, trade surplus with particularly fast growth. Another China's economic growth is particularly good, bringing a large number of results is the introduction of foreign capital inflow. This theory, called the "double surplus." The need for such a trade surplus of foreign exchange, capital flows also need to exchange, so the "double surplus" has led to demand for the yuan, also imposed a number of foreign pressure, which is leading to the specific reasons for the appreciation of the renminbi.
  From the trend, the trade surplus in the slow and negative growth. In the future, as a result of such factors as inflation, appreciation of the yuan will continue. A mainstream view is that there is room for 10-15 percent. In the future the dollar will continue weakening for some time, though, there is news that will rebound, but the U.S. trade deficit, etc. reasons, asked to go soft dollars. From the impact, the impact of the industrial structure. From the export enterprises, the appreciation of the renminbi is to increase the cost. Or for the transfer of enterprises, or for technical progress.
Second, the economic situation. Regardless of the needs of the international or domestic inflation pressure, inflation pressure brought about by political pressure, so the whole policy should be continued to tighten, leading to overall economic growth. In the international community is mainly due to the United States and the decline in some developed countries. Domestic and international economic growth in demand in 2012 will be in terms of short-term trend.
