A big flood hit the heart of the Zhongzhou land hard.

Many places in Zhengzhou, Xinxiang and Xuchang are trapped in a water village Zeguo. Judging from the videos posted by the compatriots in the disaster-stricken areas, the seriousness of the water damage is chilling.

Among them, none of the worst-hit ones were packaging and printing companies in these areas. Xiaobian Bao listened to an industry veteran's introduction today. He said that the flood in Henan may cause a large number of packaging and printing companies to fail to start normally for a long time, because the raw materials and equipment are soaked in water, which are fatal injuries. He also speculated that many people in Henan may have to leave their homes to find jobs in southern and eastern China.

In Bao Xiaobian's opinion, his words do have some truth. Why do you say that?

First of all, the flood-stricken area is precisely the most concentrated area of Henan's economy and the most affluent area of the land of Zhongzhou. Therefore, the packaging and printing companies located in this area are the most intensive and suffer the most.

Let's take a look at the GDP rankings of various cities in Henan in 2019. Zhengzhou's annual GDP is 1158.97 billion yuan, which can be described as the strongest. And Zhengzhou not only ranks first in GDP, but also ranks first in GDP per capita with 112,000 yuan. And Xuchang, Xinxiang and other cities that have been hit hard by the disaster are also the top regions in terms of GDP.

Considering that the packaging and printing industry is dependent on all walks of life and is highly regional, it can be presumed that this time the floods have hit Henan's packaging and printing industry hard.

Secondly, the packaging and printing industry is one of the industries most afraid of water and most dependent on logistics. Because raw materials such as raw paper, once soaked in water are equivalent to scrapping, and cause fatal damage to the enterprise.

I just saw a piece of news that went wrong. The news that employees of a paper mill in Chenbao Village, Xinxiang City, Henan Province depended on plastic barrels and plastic pipes to protect their lives quickly spread. Many people praised the man and the armed police officers and soldiers. As everyone knows, the media should be more concerned about the fate of the paper mill that has fallen into the ocean.

In fact, after this incident, the paper mill may not only face scrapping of equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but also directly scrapped raw paper worth about 4,000 yuan per roll. Such a flood is a disaster for the company. It is a pity that our media do not care much about their fate.

Third, the impact of logistics is continuous. Due to the damage to the transportation facilities caused by the flood, many end customers of Henan packaging and printing industry had to transfer their orders to Hubei, Anhui, Shandong and other places, which also led to a large number of orders lost. Of course, the hindrance of logistics itself has a great impact on the packaging and printing industry.

Master Kong revealed to Netease Finance that the heavy rains caused part of the rented warehouses in the Zhengzhou factory to be flooded; Keming Foods's secretary of the board Chen Yan said that the company's factory and distributors in Henan Province were partly affected by the heavy rains, including four dealers in Zhengzhou. The commercial warehouse was flooded.

It is understood that the large local dealers in Zhengzhou have lost 10 million and 20 million, and the number of damaged dealers is extremely large. For example, Bairong Market, where Zhengzhou dealers and second batches of merchants gather, is located in areas such as the South-to-North Water Diversion River, Nanlong Lake, and Changzhuang Reservoir. The entire market is almost in water, and a large number of products are submerged by water.

Fourth, the poor and weak packaging and printing industry cannot withstand the toss. The current packaging and printing industry is no longer an industry that earns a BMW every day and wants to make a fortune and engage in printing. On the contrary, after experiencing rising raw materials, environmental protection remediation and end-customer suppression over the past few years, it has long been weakened. In the past two years, many large-scale packaging and printing companies in Henan have unfortunately gone bankrupt, and there are even two regional leaders in Henan, which shows how weak the companies in this industry are.

This heavy rain is tantamount to "killing you while you are sick" for many companies. As long as the workshops and warehouses of enterprises are soaked in water, the loss is unbearable.

Therefore, Editor Bao urges friends in the media, your spotlights, not just shining "Qiluoyan", but also "chaosing people". I believe that this flood disaster will affect the company and the family behind the company. I believe this is what the compatriots in Henan sincerely want to see. If the enterprise disappears, hundreds of families behind each enterprise will be in dilemma in their livelihoods.

Editor Bao once participated in the flood relief work in the Jingjiang River Basin in 1998, and participated in the organization of the evacuation of the villagers in the flood discharge area. The most disturbing scene is still unforgettable. A young and beautiful young woman was resolutely unwilling to evacuate. She said that as soon as the flood came, all of the belongings she had saved with her hard work were gone. What's the point of being alive, it would be better to go with the flood.

If survival becomes a problem, what's the point of being alive?

Therefore, if Henan wants to recover from the disaster as soon as possible, the first priority is to use the power of the country to help the disaster-stricken enterprises resume production and provide financial support for these enterprises.
