Most people who are familiar with the bearing industry have heard of Shandong cigarette shop. Most people who are familiar with the bearing industry have no good impression on Shandong cigarette shop. But this should have become a thing of the past. Recently, the reporter drove to the cigarette shop and felt the changes there. From "ghost market" to "bearing distribution center" 30 years ago, some flexible farmers in Linqing City, Shandong Province bought second-hand bearings from house to house during the slack season, and then set up stalls in the market to earn some pocket money. Later, there were more people doing this kind of business, and the trading places were relatively fixed, forming the initial bearing professional trading market in the eastern suburbs of Linqing City. However, because the country was still in the planned economy period, the bearings traded here were all informal products, and law enforcement departments gradually began to investigate and deal with them. In order to avoid inspection, the market has been "transferred" several times and finally settled in Yandian Town. Yandian Town belongs to Linqing City and is located at the junction of Shandong Linqing, Hebei Guantao and Linxi provinces. In the past, the traffic was relatively closed and the economy was underdeveloped. After the bearing market was transferred to the cigarette shop, the processing place was gradually transferred to the cigarette shop because of the low income and cheap labor of local farmers. In order not to provoke new "troubles", they often process and renovate during the day and trade at night, so there is a "ghost market". In addition to the old bearings collected door-to-door, another main source of bearings in cigarette shops at that time was the discarded bearings produced by large and medium-sized bearing manufacturers nationwide. In cigarette shops, or in larger areas, bearings are also called "steel clocks". In the eyes of these original vendors, the "steel bell" is a rotating "iron ring", which is used on simple farm tools such as unicycles and row cars. Because these farm tools revolve in the soil all day, the sophisticated new bearings are not as good as the old ones. From this point of view, the original cigarette shop bearing market is not malicious sales, but only meets the basic needs of special customer groups at the lowest cost. The "bad reputation" of a cigarette shop originated in the early 1990s more than ten years ago. A quality inspector of Jinan Bearing Factory who was transferred to a cigarette shop to participate in an "unannounced visit" actually found a certificate with his name on an industrial booth, but the bearing was obviously fake. The shopkeeper said that the bearings are the same, but the trademark and certificate can be customized according to customer requirements, which means "you can buy any brand of bearings you want", of course, there is no guarantee that the products are genuine. With this problem becoming more and more serious, the relevant departments began to clean up and rectify the tobacco shop market that has formed a climate. Many times to carry out clean-up and rectification work, to master the standard for many times. Finally, only the combination of "consolidation and guidance" strategy of "sealing up a batch, cleaning up a batch, standardizing a batch and establishing a batch" can become an effective method. "The final result of rectification and guidance has put the cigarette shop bearing market on the track of healthy development. With the reasonable planning and active support of the government, the market scale has been expanding." Wang Peifeng, mayor of Yandian Town, said. Now, the cigarette shop bearing market has become a veritable bearing distribution base. The town has more than 3,000 fixed sales households and more than 4,000 mobile merchants. The types of bearings sold are almost all-encompassing, from agricultural machinery bearings to motor bearings to automobile bearings. The total variety exceeds 1000, and the annual market turnover is close to 3 billion yuan. Even the price of cigarette shops has risen to about 3,000 yuan per square meter driven by the bearing market, which is equivalent to six times that of other surrounding towns and villages. Under the background of bearing trade and the influence of increasingly prosperous bearing trade, "bearing industry cluster" has attracted many people's attention to bearing industry. A number of factory bearing manufacturing enterprises, which are different from workshop processing, have been born rapidly, with more and more numbers and larger scale. Haru, Kone, Luhuan, Yixin and Aoda are the representatives of the "new generation" power of Yandian bearing, which has become the mainstay of Yandian bearing manufacturing industry. At present, the annual sales revenue of bearing factories listed as 17 large enterprises in Yandian Town has exceeded100,000 yuan, among which the company with the highest annual sales revenue has exceeded100,000 yuan, even in the whole bearing industry in Shandong. Harbin regiment is the first "regular army" in China to take a fancy to the place and background of tobacco and electricity. In 200 1 year, Haru Bearing Company with a total investment of160,000 yuan was established in Yandian, with Harbin Group holding 39% of the shares. According to Zhang Lixiang, chairman of Haru Company, the company's assets have now grown to 56 million yuan. Except for some domestic automobile and agricultural machinery enterprises, 60% of its products are exported overseas. Like Haru, many companies such as Luhang and Walin also have the participation and support of domestic bearing giants such as Wanxiang and Wazhou. The product quality of enterprises above designated size in cigarette shops should no longer be questioned. The output rate of Z2 and Z3 low vibration bearings has been very high in some enterprises, and some even reach Z4. Of course, this does not guarantee that every ex-factory product is qualified, but at least they generally have processes and means to ensure that it is qualified. In other words, the current cigarette shop bearing manufacturing enterprise is completely different from the original workshop. Author: 22 1.2 17.48. Reply to this statement. In fact, the bearing development workshop of Yandian still exists, but most of their product structures have been consciously adjusted, from the original assembly products to the specialized process of producing a certain kind of accessories. Perhaps Liu Mingfeng, secretary of the Party Committee of Yandian Town, said: "Whether it is the bearing trade or the bearing industry, the cigarette shop has really changed a lot. After stepping into the ranks of the largest bearing distribution base in China, the cigarette shop has now become one of the largest bearing processing bases in China. " According to statistics, there are 102 1 registered industrial enterprises in cigarette shops. If unregistered family workshops are added, the total number of processing enterprises is estimated to exceed 3000. In 2005, 56 enterprises above designated size expanded with an investment of 654.38+0.7 billion yuan. Now these enterprises can produce and process 0~9 kinds of bearings and 1 1 kinds of non-standard bearings, and consume more than 800 tons of bearing steel and 0/50 tons of rolling elements every day. If you count the surrounding areas driven by cigarette shops, the annual sales of the bearing industry has reached 5.4 billion yuan. In 2005, the per capita income of tobacco shop farmers was 8,200 yuan, which was 2.38 times the average level in Linqing. Enterprises that want to be ashamed of their "cigarette shop brand" have begun to consciously build their own brands. At present, 22 cigarette shops have registered their own trademarks, but not all of them are widely used. "The bad reputation of cigarette shops has affected the image of bearing products in this area," said Zheng Wenhai, chairman of Yixin Bearing Company. "More than 80% of the products we produce are supplied to OEMs outside the province. Users clearly know that the products they use are made by cigarette shops. Years of cooperation have made them feel at ease about the quality of our products, but our specific address and trademark are still afraid to print directly, even though we really want to do so. " The problems mentioned by Zheng Wenhai are very common in cigarette shop bearing enterprises. Although the cigarette shop bearing market and the cigarette shop bearing industry are two different concepts, most of the products of the cigarette shop bearing factory are directly or indirectly supplied to the main engine factory and rarely sold in the cigarette shop market, the brand reputation of the cigarette shop trading market is still hard to erase for a while. But then again, if there were no cigarette shop bearing market, there would be no large-scale cigarette shop bearing industry today, which is recognized by cigarette shop people. Entrepreneurs in cigarette shops are very rich, but their wealth is extremely rich only in the villagers in the village. Perhaps because of the fear of being investigated in the past, or because of the negative pressure of "regional brands", they still seem a little shy among their peers outside the cigarette shop, even though they already have this qualification and strength. Perhaps the debts owed by some faithless people in the past need to be repaid slowly as a whole. In fact, cigarette shops should learn from Wenzhou people. If we design a future road for cigarette shops, Wenzhou model may be the most suitable. Tobacco shops have achieved their own career in the way of grassroots economy, at least getting healthier, but their special history and complex background make them still not integrated into the mainstream in the industry. The frequency of positive images of cigarette shop enterprises in the media is not high, and their development status is almost unknown to industry associations, and few enterprises actively communicate and try in this regard. Wenzhou enterprises are just the opposite. 1On August 8th, 987, the footwear industry in Wenzhou, with a history of hundreds of years, suffered a devastating blow. Hangzhou Industrial and Commercial Bureau, together with several departments, burned more than 5,000 pairs of inferior Wenzhou leather shoes to ashes in Wulinmen Square, Hangzhou. From that day on, "Wenzhou shoes" were associated with counterfeiting. However, some people can't swallow this "gas". On June 5th, 1999+ 12, Wang Zhentao, the owner of Aokang shoes, who has a successful career, transported more than 2,000 pairs of imitation Aokang shoes from all over the country to Hangzhou and set them on fire. Wenzhou people proved themselves in turn with the second fire. In the past, the bearings in cigarette shops were similar to the history of Wenzhou leather shoes, and now the bearing industry in cigarette shops is also showing a healthy development trend similar to Wenzhou leather shoes, but there is still an obvious gap between them, that is, cigarette shops still lack a second "fire".
