Draw lines, seams, brush glue, paste clips... Recently, at the shoe processing point of Henglou Village, Chengzhuang Town, Dangshan County, more than 100 villagers are rushing to make export orders.

After passing the inspection by Belle Footwear (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., this batch of products will be exported to North America, Southeast Asia and other places.

Belle Shoes (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. is located in Modern Shoe Industry City, Suzhou City. In recent years, with the strong support of Suzhou Municipal Government, the company has recruited workers through multiple channels and channels.

However, the employment of labor still cannot meet the development needs. At the same time, people in some remote villages are reluctant to work in the city because of the long distance.

After in-depth investigation, Dangshan County took the lead in co-construction with Suzhou Shoe City, and introduced Belle Shoes (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. to open "satellite factories" in various villages, opening up new employment spaces in rural areas, and allowing more villagers to find jobs near their doorsteps.

"This processing point is expanded from the poverty alleviation factory in Henglou Village, which is equivalent to a production workshop in the headquarters of Belle Footwear. Belle Footwear sends a management and training team to be responsible for operation. It regularly sends shoe-making raw materials to the processing point and recycles finished products. Good economic benefits have been achieved." said Xu Hefeng, head of the shoe industry of Belle Footwear (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and person in charge of the shoe processing point in Henglou Village. The processing point is close to the village and very close to the kindergarten and elementary school. It is very convenient for the migrant workers to go to the village to do errands, and to transport their children to and from school. In just three months, more than 200 local villagers entered the factory to work.

"I came to work as soon as the processing center opened. Working hours here are flexible, and there is something at home, so you can ask for leave at any time." Villager Zhao Yan said that this time is the busiest time in the rural areas of Dangshan County, except for housework and farm work. , She spares three or four hours a day to work at the processing point, and she earns several tens of yuan a day. Some skilled female workers take the raw materials home for processing and send them to the processing point every week, so they can work more freely.

Wei Hong, the mayor of Chengzhuang Town, told reporters that when Belle Footwear set up factories in the village, it fully considered the rural left-behind women taking care of their families and picking up and dropping off their children, and arranged their work and rest time flexibly. Under the vigorous propaganda of the Party Committee and government of Chengzhuang Town, the reputation of the shoe processing point became more and more popular, and the masses of many surrounding villages took the initiative to come.

In order to provide convenience to migrant workers, the Henglou Village Committee provides canteens and dormitories to solve their food and accommodation problems. "Recently, the town and village levels will also launch more considerate services, cooperating with nearby schools to open a'four-thirty class', and assign special personnel to pick up and accompany the children to solve the worries of migrant workers." Wei Hong said.

The responsible comrade of the Dangshan County Government told reporters that Dangshan County and Suzhou Shoe City Management Committee will deepen cooperation and explore a new path of "well-known enterprises + satellite factories + nearby employment", and adjust measures to local conditions to open "satellite factories" in more villages to promote the development of rural industries. , The masses have stable employment.
