Xinghai Xiong, the general manager of a clothing company in
Chengdu,has been worried over expanding their clothing market.
Although the quality of their product is good, it is difficult
to let their brand to be popular. Due to the clothing enterprises
in Chengdu didn’t centralize their sale market, the same worry
around the whole clothing industry of Chengdu.
However, the decentralizing system of clothing industry in Chengdu
has been ended since the end of this year. Yesterday, the journalist
gained the news that the New World Textile Clothing Purchase Base
of Wuxi, which is the biggest clothing center in the world, has
set up a “Chendu House” for Chengdu clothing industry specially.
It means that Chengdu clothing can stand on the same platform
with international and native well-known brand to accept the market
choice. This is a group visiting card of Chengdu Clothing, and
it is time to create the brand of “Made in Chengdu” by joining
together.
The serious reality
The brand of Chengdu is sunk in the clothing market.
Wanxun Zheng has been a general secretary of clothing association
in Shenzhen for many years. As he said “The clothing companies
in Shenzhen unite as one on creating local brand!”. However, he
has been worried very much since he has been back, because there
is no consciousness about uniting and local brand in Chengdu clothing
industry. Although the west of China is the biggest clothing wholesale
area and the proportion of Chengdu clothing occupies more than
80%, most of them are pasted on other province’s brand logo. Although
many enterprises of Chengdu have their own brand, the brand is
sunk in the market.
the precious opportunity
To organise a group by Chengdu and to explore the ‘New World
of Wuxi’.
Since 2003, Chengdu Clothing industry has been awaked to know
if the companies do not have teamwork ability and local brand
consciousness, they only could be the processing factory for other
brand. Thus, by the municipal clothing association’s leading,
they started to change their managerial system. This newspaper
had paid close attention to “Haibin Model”, which was one of their
changing methods. Although it was disappeared for city reforming,
it has established the base of team work for Chengdu clothing
industry.
At the beginning of this month, the municipal clothing association
knew that Wuxi of Jiangsu province was building the new world
textile clothing purchase base. Although it will be finished and
opened in March of next year, it has taken in the global well-known
brand during the building period. Then, Wanxun Zheng, the general
secretary, decided to investigate immediately with Chengdu clothing
industry.
Wanxun Zheng told the journalist that they found there were
lots of international and native enterprises had been signed the
contract and ready to join the ‘new world textile clothing purchase
base’ when they arrived there on 9th September. All of these enterprises
appeared with a team and are well-known brand. For example, native
groups include ‘Guangzhou House’, ‘Shenzhen House’ and ‘Fujian
House etc., while the international groups include ‘Korean House’,
‘Japanese House’ and ‘the United House’ (America, Italy and French,
etc.). Wenxun Zheng said “many undeveloped provinces are refused
to join in, because they don’t have brand.”
Wenxun Zheng told the journalist, their twenty representative
of the enterprise in Chengdu had known if they could be allowed
to join the base, the brand of Chengdu could compete with the
numerous international and native brand on the same platform,
and be picked up by the wholesale merchant all over the world.
This is undoubted chance for Chengdu brand to create the local
brand. One thing is worried about by Wanxun Zheng and their twenty
representatives are whether they could be accepted by the purchase
base.
The Recognition
“Chengdu House” occupies a whole storey of the purchases base.
Wanxun Zheng started to negotiate with the staffs that were
in charge of renting. Actually, they have recognized Chengdu clothing
since the beginning of the negotiation. There are three reasons.
Firstly, Chengdu is the biggest clothing wholesale area and the
biggest clothing production area in the west. Although their product
is almost pasted on other brand logo, the quality has been recognized
by the clothing industry. Secondly, there are lots of local talented
designer. For example, some well-known brands of Italy are designed
by the local designer, and are produced directly in Chengdu. Finally,
the Italian brand company only provides the logo. Therefore, people
in purchases base said that Chengdu won’t lose, if it could compete
with other brand on the same platform.
It makes the representative of the enterprise in Chengdu feel
very exciting. And the most surprise is that Chengdu will get
a whole storey, which is 2500㎡, although there are many applier.
the visiting card of group
Let the whole world knows the clothing of Chengdu.
Why the new world textile clothing purchases base of Wuxi is
so attractive? According to the information by the journalists,
the purchasing base occupies 130 million ㎡, and is the biggest
clothing wholesale center in the world. Excepting the clothing,
it also sets the material companies, the clothing designing companies
and inquiring company, etc.. Then, you will find that the multi-functional
service is possible, and you can get the last clothing information.
By facing the journalist, Wanxun Zheng had a happiness of the
success. And the general managers of the Clothing companies in
Chengdu have seen the opportunity of creating the general brand
of Chengdu. The general manager of Shengyulan Clothing Company
of Chengdu said that let the whole nation and the whole world
to know the brand of Chengdu, to understand the brand of Chengdu
and to buy the brand of Chengdu, while the general manager of
Haoshen Clothing Company of Chengdu – Xinghai Xiong said that
‘Chengdu House’ will face to the world as the opening of the new
world textile clothing purchasing base of Wuxi in March of next
year.
