But reporters also heard another voice in the enterprise--one can't.

Although banfu town belong to larger companies, new shoes after 2012 is very prominent in the case of recruitment difficulties. Lu Xiwei said recruitment has no direct effect on orders, but on the labour-intensive manufacturing businesses is a big problem.
