They have only five to ten fabricating machines on average and hire workers from surrounding villages. These subcontractors receive putting-out orders from unregistered workshops. Sometimes they receive orders directly from registered companies in the busy season from March to September. Since their size is small, a subcontractor seldom receives putting-out orders from more than one workshop or company at a time. According to the leader of the village communist party, approximately 500–700 subcontractors in the village and 5,000 subcontractors in nearby villages are producing parts.
