It's hard to stay in Shenzhen now.

how many years have I been in Shenzhen? I'm embarrassed to say it myself. I told a scary joke. I'll just say where I lived for the last ten years.

It's a bit exaggerated to say that the last decade will not be until next October. When I moved to this place, someone had just taken over a storefront development gallery downstairs. The hair salon was called a dynamic house, the kind of professional haircut, and there was no such thing as 7788. I live on the 5th floor of the same building. To be sure, over the years, every time I have my hair cut, I have been in a dynamic room. I am familiar with it. I have short hair, three times a month, once in 21 yuan, and I can't shake it. Moreover, I have a habit of cutting hair. I don't want to wash my hair in the barber shop. After I cut it, I go upstairs and go home to wash it myself. This is probably the main reason why I have been insisting on cutting my hair in the dynamic room for so many years.

This year, the epidemic broke out, and my work was affected. I decided to leave Shenzhen and go back to my hometown. The last haircut was still in the dynamic room. The air ticket was on the afternoon of March 31th, and the haircut was ahead of schedule. The last chat between my boss and me was intriguing.

I said, you may have cut my hair for the last time.

The boss heard that I was going back to my hometown before, and it was not particularly unexpected. He said: Time flies, we have known each other for almost ten years.

I said: three times a month, every time in 21 yuan, one month in 61 yuan, one year in 721 yuan, ten years ...

I was taken aback. In these years, a haircut alone will cost more than 6,111 yuan.

the boss said: you helped me pay the store rent for one month.

I know that, too. His monthly rent is 6111 yuan. Because of the epidemic, he closed the store for two months and asked the landlord to reduce it, but the landlord didn't agree.

He also knows that my rent is 1,211 yuan per month. He said: You contributed one third of your landlord's mortgage.

I have no idea. A haircut alone costs more than 6,111 yuan, and the rent is million+,as well as food, clothing, transportation, utilities, property management, gas and telephone bills ...

I didn't make any money in Shenzhen, but my pocket is still empty. All my money was earned by others.

the epidemic situation is a good reason. I can only choose to sing a song "Shajiabang" Scene 5: Retreat.

Two days ago, my uncle's family came back from Dongguan, Guangdong, because their factory has stopped now, so a family of three was forced to go home. On Sunday evening, my uncle called me and asked me if I could find a job for my cousin in Hanzhong. After all, my little cousin is in his mid-twenties, and he is not married yet. If he has no income now, there is no hope of marrying a wife.

I remember when my uncle came home last year and sat down to chat with him, he also said that maybe his family could get an extra sum of money in the factory this year, because their factory is a lighting factory, and now there are more than 1,111 employees in two factories. He said that the factory might have to move to Vietnam, but their family didn't want to. Because they have been working in this factory for seven or eight years, the contract will not end until 2121. Therefore, according to the labor law, if they don't want to go to Vietnam, the company should compensate them for a dispatch fee. My uncle said that the three of them can probably get more than 41,111 yuan.

I don't know. It's only been a few days now. At the end of February, my uncle was urged to return to work quickly. Now they are on holiday before the end of April. It's really changing quickly. It is said that many enterprises in Guangdong are engaged in foreign trade now, so now batches of factories are on holiday, and now they can't find a job at all. They have been working hard at the gate of the company for a day, and they are all full, so they have to go home.

Because many people who work in Guangdong are renting houses, and there are many apartments for rent in many families there, there has been a wave of rent withdrawal in Guangdong recently. My uncle said that their factory is not bad, and they will have a holiday after paying everyone's wages. Some factories have not paid their wages yet, and many people can only pay their wages in the dormitory or rented rooms all day.

I looked at it this morning. The global epidemic is getting worse and worse, especially in developed countries such as Europe and America. At present, it seems that it is grateful that the epidemic will end in June. It is very likely that the factory in Guangdong will have a holiday for several months, but my uncle said that everyone can understand because the factory doesn't want this, but in difficult times, everyone can't delay, so my uncle immediately contracted more than 21 mu of land after returning home, and he was busy planting corn these two days! And Lao Zhang also has a trick, you can let your cousin come to the city to deliver takeout first, and then change when you find a suitable job. I don't know what you think?

If Shenzhen does not solve the problem of high housing prices and high prices, and there is no road, even if there is, it will be a dead end. Without grassroots migrant workers to build a city, senior intellectuals and fresh blood to enter Shenzhen and expand the circulation of blood, can the local Shenzhen old households or these so-called talents support the future development of Shenzhen? Think about it, is it possible?

There was a wave of returning home in Shenzhen in 1998 and 2118. The first two times were related to the financial crisis. Many people said that this wave of returning home was an epidemic. In fact, the epidemic was only one of the factors. Before the epidemic, there was a large-scale wave of returning home in Shenzhen, including last year, many people who worked in Shenzhen returned home one after another and never went to Shenzhen again. Then, why even? There are several reasons:

1. The whole economy is depressed. In fact, throughout the country and the world, the economy has been depressed for the past two years, and your and my incomes have been declining. The whole social environment is like this, and Shenzhen is hard to avoid. The economy will inevitably affect the income of ordinary people, including grassroots workers who work. Because the efficiency of the enterprise is not very good, and the salary is reduced, everyone feels that the work done is not proportional to the income, so naturally they are unwilling to continue working and choose to go home.

2. The cost of living is too high. The cost here includes the basic living guarantee, eating and drinking Lazar, and the cost of rent. In Shenzhen, the rent in a village of several hundred yuan is basically impossible to find. What's more, with the continuous advancement of urbanization in Shenzhen, the houses in the deep "villages in the city" are demolished, and there are no residents to build their own houses. Migrant workers have to choose to rent a house in the community, a single room, most of which is more than 1,111 yuan a month, four or five thousand yuan a month, excluding rent and rent. Besides, it is not cheap to buy clothes and eat in Shenzhen, which is one of the most expensive cities in China and one of the most expensive cities in China.

3. Affected by the epidemic, a large number of factories can't produce, and individuals can't open their doors. In fact, this epidemic has affected not only the whole world, but also the whole of China. Because of the further tightening of epidemic prevention work in various places, many factories can't produce, and individual shop fronts have not opened their doors for various epidemic prevention reasons, and they basically don't open their doors, because there are few customers patronizing, business is not good, life is difficult, and they really can't afford money. When enterprises don't open their doors, have no jobs, don't open their doors, have no money to earn, or open their doors, and have no business, they will face great rent pressure and survival pressure. There is no choice but to go back to their hometown to farm. What's more, most of the people who work in Shenzhen are from the bottom of the society who work in factories or work as individuals, and most of them have real local accounts, and most of them work in large enterprises or institutions, so there is no pressure for survival in this respect.

4. Due to environmental protection and other economic influences, the enterprise has not opened its doors. In addition to the impact of this epidemic, there is also the impact of environmental protection rectification, which has led to the fact that small enterprises in Shenzhen are basically closed down. This situation has been the same since last year. I have relatives who have opened clothing factories in Shenzhen. Because of the impact of environmental supervision, they didn't open their doors for a few days last year. Finally, the rent was too expensive to operate, so they had to close down and go to our city to open factories. When small factories closed, workers found it difficult to find jobs. Then go home.

5. Enterprises squeeze workers' income, which leads to resignation. It is precisely because of various factors that it is difficult for enterprises to survive. However, in order to continue to operate, enterprises have to reduce costs from workers. The best way is to reduce wages. At first, when recruiting people, it was seven or eight thousand yuan, which is well said. But when you really use you, all kinds of deductions are three or four thousand, four or five thousand yuan. Enterprises are black-hearted and squeeze workers and deduct workers' wages, which makes everyone unable to bear the high cost of living and high intensity.

6. It's hard to find a job. Is there a shortage of workers in Shenzhen? Lack, even if many enterprises don't open their doors now, there is also a shortage of workers. Then, why is there a shortage of labor? This kind of labor shortage is only relative. Behind the shortage is low wages, all kinds of squeezing and deducting wages. Because enterprises are unwilling to pay high wages and can't recruit people, there is a labor shortage. Because your wages are low and workers are unwilling to work, people would rather go back to farming than be bullied here, leading to a wave of returning home.

7. My hometown is safe and secure. Another reason for the tide of migrant workers returning home in Shenzhen is that the rural economy is developing well now, or the county economy is developing rapidly and there are many employment opportunities. Therefore, when migrant workers can't stay in Shenzhen, they choose to go back to the county to work as temporary workers, or go back to the village to do other businesses, such as breeding and developing characteristic planting, etc., and earn tens of thousands of dollars a year, so that the cost of living is low, the security is guaranteed, and they can take care of their families. Therefore, migrant workers finally.

8. The state has some support. At present, the government has the support to start a business loan in the hometown, and there are subsidies for planting crops. The government also encourages fellow villagers to find jobs nearby, and even agricultural experts teach farmers to engage in characteristic industries to help farmers get rid of poverty and get rich. Therefore, this is also a factor for farmers to return home.

This year is a very difficult year for migrant workers. During the epidemic, they stayed at home for more than two months without income. It was hard to wait until the epidemic was under control, and all localities were unsealed and ushered in the resumption of work. However, after not going out for a long time, many migrant workers returned to their hometowns. It was also very rogue for them to happen.

Let's talk about the experience of Xiao Wu in our village. Xiao Wu is 34 years old and works in an electronics factory in Shenzhen. His salary is more than 5,111 yuan a month. Because of the epidemic, Xiao Wu didn't go out in March this year after returning home at the end of last year. It was not until the beginning of March that the epidemic was under control. We arranged a point-to-point bus to transport migrant workers to Shenzhen to work, and he returned to his work unit. However, after working in the factory for more than ten days, there was nothing to do in the production line, and then the factory issued a notice of holiday. It is said that due to the influence of foreign epidemic situation, there are not many orders in the factory. Since March 27th, the factory has stopped production, and it is expected to have a holiday for 6-9 months. The holiday is too sudden for Xiao Wu, and he did not expect to take such a long holiday at all.

The enterprise also said in the notice that the holiday is also forced to encourage employees to find their own way. Now the epidemic situation abroad is so serious that many European and American countries are fighting the epidemic, all foreign trade is closed and many orders are cancelled, which is a heavy blow to foreign trade enterprises in Shenzhen. In just over a month, many companies in Shenzhen have closed down due to the impact of foreign epidemic situation. Xiao Wu had a holiday in Shenzhen, thinking that it would cost money to live here, so he planned to find another job again. But when he came to Sanhe talent market in Longhua, Shenzhen, he found that the scene of the talent market was very different from last year. Not many companies were hiring. For example, at this time last year, many enterprises in Shenzhen were recruiting in this talent market and launched a war of grabbing people. Xiao Wu didn't find a suitable job in the talent market, so he had to return to rent a house first, but the next week, the job was not settled. Finally, he decided to return to his hometown first to help his family finish their farm work and then come out to find a job. By the beginning of April, Xiao Wu had returned the house rented in Shenzhen and returned to his hometown in the countryside.

This year is a very difficult year for enterprises in Shenzhen, and migrant workers' job hunting has also been greatly affected. In the case that the epidemic situation in foreign countries is not under control, some enterprises in Shenzhen have to find ways to survive even if they are not profitable. If there is no way to maintain it, they can only rely on transformation and find a new way out.

Wu Da, the son of Laobiao, graduated from Shenzhen to start a business. His daughter-in-law is from Sichuan, graduated from Fudan University, and works in the same company. Laobiao's son graduated from it. He used to work for people with a monthly salary of more than 11,111 yuan. Later, several classmates and colleagues set up their own company to engage in software research and development. Cousin and his wife are in Shenzhen, helping their son's family with their children.

After the COVID-19 epidemic was released this year, I returned to the countryside from Shenzhen. I asked: How did you come back? My cousin replied that life is not easy. My son's family didn't buy a house, and the monthly rental cost was more than 4,111 yuan. COVID-19 Epidemic Company basically didn't receive any contract. I came back to have a rest and looked at it again. I haven't farmed for six or seven years, so I picked up my old farm buddy when I got home.

According to him, his son's company is still good, and some factories and companies have completely lost their jobs and stopped production. He used to be in Shenzhen, but he was actually looking after the factory with others. He was a factory run by his son and friend, that is, he was a security guard. Because of the suspension of production, most of the security guards were dismissed, leaving only two or three people. Seeing that other people's families were more difficult than himself, he took the initiative to apply for resignation.

These days, it is much more difficult for many small factories in Shenzhen to survive. Some of the larger factories plan to move to Southeast Asia, mainly because of the rising cost of raw materials, living and wages, which has become unprofitable. Some enterprises with low technology content are more difficult to survive. In order to save costs, what used to be done by three people is now done by two people, and ordinary factories and companies are laying off employees.

All day long, the part-time workers are in groups of three or five, looking for recruitment information on the street. Life is not easy. Many factories don't include accommodation. Some factories include Chinese food, some factories include lunch and dinner, and some factories are completely self-funded. If you can't find a job for ten and a half days, the cost of living is very high. There are more than 1,111 houses rented in places far away, and it is quite hard to transfer to work.

Many people have been working in Shenzhen for many years, and now they have to return their rents and go home, waiting for the boss's notice.

Life is not easy. Please be kind to your work and your career.

without you, Shenzhen is still alive!

A few people in my community have settled in Shenzhen by speculation, saying that houses can't be sold, vendors' business is not good, and factories have moved. Once these people leave Shenzhen, Shenzhen will decline. They pointed to a nearby industrial park and said: There used to be many workers here, but now they are gone, so the park has to build office buildings to rent.

it happened that I rented three office buildings in this industrial park. There are not many workers in the industrial park, but there are many cars, many white-collar workers and many patents invented in one year. The annual rental fee of the industrial park alone has more than tripled compared with previous years. The industrial park is no longer as noisy as in previous years, and it is sanitary and beautified: in the early evening, there were banging oil fumes flying all over the sky in front of the industrial park, and the small stalls were often noisy.
