The industry crisis reappears
The epidemic has become a "stumbling block" to development
Epidemics are coming and going, and ceramic people are struggling. Earlier, the epidemic situation in Quanzhou, Fujian, Zibo, Shandong, Fengcheng, Gao'an, Tangshan, Hebei and other places was not optimistic. The local governments adopted strict epidemic prevention and control measures.

Nanzhuang, Xiqiao and other specific areas immediately implemented temporary control. The specific area is south of the Jili River, east of Xingji Road, and west of the Guangfo Expressway. There are many ceramic companies, warehouses and logistics centers in this area, and the Huaxia Ceramics Expo City is no more than ten minutes' drive from the control area. Therefore, the flow of people in and out of some ceramic enterprises, warehouses and logistics centers in Nanzhuang and Xiqiao towns and the delivery of goods have been greatly affected.
Zhongtaojun learned that many ceramic people in Nanzhuang are very troubled by the problem of warehouse delivery. Due to the sudden epidemic, the original delivery plan was forced to be delayed. A ceramic worker said: "I asked many truck drivers, and they all said that the incident happened suddenly and that nucleic acid results are needed before they can enter the warehouse to load goods and ship goods."

Liu Xingguo, a researcher at the China Enterprise Confederation and director of the Enterprise Research Department, said that these measures are implemented from two angles: first, based on the government's ability, further ideas are used to help enterprises reduce costs and reduce development pressure; The second is to give full play to the guiding role of the government, unite multiple parties to develop blood transfusions for enterprises, and enhance the development potential, vitality and motivation of enterprises, including increasing the supply of funds, to stimulate effective demand. In addition, he believes that "the introduction and implementation of these measures should better promote enterprises to resume production, overcome difficulties, and develop steadily."
