The ecological island in the Yangtze River suddenly became the “Hometown of Meltblown Fabrics”, with prices skyrocketing and business risks arising.
Melt-blown cloth has plunged Yangzhong, Jiangsu into a craze: In just two months, this county-level city, famous for its blowfish and engineering electrical engineering, has become the “hometown of melt-blown cloth”. According to the local market According to statistics provided by the Supervision Bureau, as of April 10, the number of registered companies involved in the production and sales of meltblown fabrics in Yangzhong has reached 867.
“65 machines, 230,000, pay at the required speed” “Suzhou 50 molds, scheduled to arrive tomorrow today, payment will be subject, slow hands” “Secco raw materials are provided in large quantities, cash on delivery” ……
Now I don’t post anything about it in Moments Melt-blown fabrics don’t seem to be considered popular.
As the core material for mask production, meltblown cloth has become the most in demand material in the mask industry chain since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia. With the explosion in demand, the price of this fiber material, which uses polypropylene as the main raw material, has skyrocketed, and the huge profits have attracted a large number of speculators to enter the production of melt-blown cloth.
In the past two months, the price of meltblown cloth has risen and the market has grown wildly. It is reported that the domestic price of meltblown cloth was about 20,000 yuan per ton last year, and soon after the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, it rose to 80,000 yuan. Since then, the price of crazy melt-blown cloth has reached its highest level of 650,000 yuan per ton. Although the price has fluctuated slightly recently, it has basically stabilized at around 400,000 yuan per ton. Compared with the normal price of 20,000 yuan per ton, the price of meltblown cloth has increased by at least 20 times in just a few months. Some people describe that meltblown cloth has almost become a futures market, with a price even changing every minute.
Where there is demand, there will be supply, and where there is profit, there will be businessmen
A Yangzhong businessman invested 3 million yuan to build a meltblown cloth production line and recovered the cost in one week. In less than a month and a half, the gross profit reached 20 million yuan. Then he quickly sold the production line at a high price. It only took 50 days from opening to closing the factory, and it was completed quickly and safely.
The real profit is huge, you can get your money back in one week and reach the peak of your life in one month.
On April 6, Sinopec issued a statement that all melt-blown fabrics produced are for targeted supply and will not flow out to the market. Before that, the undercurrent in the market for raw material polypropylene particles (PP), extruders, and molds had already begun to surge. Some small factories and workshops, looking at the tuyere, quickly launched meltblown cloth production lines, and the products produced by these small factories and workshops “Melt-blown cloth” has become the only choice for mask workshops and men everywhere who cannot buy regular melt-blown cloth.
Melt-blown cloth production place on the cusp of Yangtze River
Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas It is China’s machinery manufacturing base. It is difficult to launch a large-scale formal meltblown cloth production line, and it cannot stop businessmen from digging for gold. Soon, a factory in Zhejiang miniaturized the production line based on the drawings of the melt-blown cloth production line and invented a copycat melt-blown cloth production line. A copycat production line includes an injection molding machine worth RMB 100,000 and a spinneret mold worth RMB 70,000 to RMB 80,000. The initial total investment was only RMB 20,000 to RMB 30,000. The factory owner in Zhejiang only produces copycat production lines and ships the machine production to Yangzhong. He does not participate in the production of meltblown cloth and does not want to bear subsequent risks.
Most people in Yangzhou simply don’t understand why Zhejiang people dare not do a business with low investment costs, fast start-up speed, and huge profits, but they only produce discharging machines and then sell them to Yangzhong? Why do people here do it in a few days when the country invests so much money and manpower to deploy an industry in a few months?
In their minds: “I don’t see anything irregular. As for a group of short-sighted people on Zhihu who are too lazy to pay attention, they have no idea how Yangzhong Electrical Industry started and how it does what it does today. After reaching the pillar industry, we have become the largest electrical production base in China. Electricity is the entrepreneurial history of our older generation. This time with meltblown cloth, I found that my friends and classmates around me are more motivated than my parents. I have friends for three days and three nights. Don’t sleep. Let’s work hard together. The country has given us opportunities, and the rest is up to us to fight for. May everyone seize the day and live up to their time. The spirit of Yangzhong City: The best is like water, and self-improvement is constant.”
For a time, nearly 1,000 meltblown fabric production and sales companies emerged in Yangzhong. These are registered companies, not counting unregistered small workshops.
Many people are tempted by the huge profits, but with the skyrocketing price of meltblown cloth, the costs of all aspects of production have also increased, and the risks have doubled. During the interview, the reporter learned that the purchase price of a nozzle part used in meltblown cloth production equipment has soared from about 5,000 yuan last year to 95,000 yuan. The extruder costs RMB 180,000, the spinneret mold costs RMB 70,000 to RMB 80,000, the debugging master pays RMB 10,000 to 20,000 for the door-to-door fee, and the investment of RMB 20,000 to 30,000 is required to assemble the machine and process the polypropylene raw material at a purchase price of RMB 10,000 per ton. There is a mysterious buyer who pays per ton. The price is 30,000 to 400,000 tons, and all transactions are in cash.
Businessmen from all over the country, with trucks, carrying bags of cash. Come to Yangzhong and wait at the factory gate to pick up the goods. Many transactions are cash and no credit is allowed. They neither sign contracts, nor keep public accounts, nor do they open accounts.Tax evasion is everywhere.
On the afternoon of April 10, the city deployed the registration inspection of the five major bayonet vehicles in the city, and inspected the “three noes” meltblown fabric products carried by all the vehicles in accordance with the law. Deduct and send product quality appraisal. As of the morning of the 11th, the traffic police department had seized more than 30 meltblown cloth transport vehicles.
In the next stage, Yangzhong will also promptly analyze and judge the changes in the situation of the melt-blown cloth industry, summarize the phased results of the rectification work, adhere to the law and regulations, strengthen publicity and guidance, strengthen long-term supervision, and strictly investigate and deal with melt-blown cloth Illegal and irregular behaviors in the production and operation process will be promoted to promote the orderly development of industry standards.
A bloody storm in the meltblown fabric industry is about to begin. A large number of small family workshops are about to be purged, and the last entrants will lose their money. Those who have made profits but have not yet stopped are very likely to face jail time. </p
