Qingdao Is Free For Rent.

A few months ago, Swire stores. Operation and management Fang put up a notice, ready to transfer the five year management rights of the Swire department store at the price of 1 yuan / year, including the right to property management and the right of free use of the shop owner for two years. Although the low price transfer is tempting, it is full of helplessness: approval can not be passed, merchants withdraw in large numbers, and the management side has to pay a huge amount of operation and maintenance costs every day, so that they can not make ends meet. The subway line 2, which is regarded as a life-saving rice straw, is still out of reach. How did it get past these years?

　　 Visit: business is bad, merchants move back and forth.

"What business is there? Clearance Nobody saw it. Almost all of us moved from the inside to the entrance, which was empty. " A lady who sells bags at the entrance of Swire stores told reporters that business is bad and sales are all bad. Goods in stock 。 The business of Tai Koo department store is indeed described by the lady.

In May 20th, the reporter walked into the entrance of the Hongkong middle road of Swire department store. At the entrance of a negative entrance, several shops were open for business, mostly in clothing and bags. But then went inside, the whole underground was empty, and even the lights had not been opened. Most of the facades had been emptied, and many of the shop's glass doors were hanging out for renting or renting information. Walking along the long passage, you can't see a customer. In the dining area, the benches in front of the snack bar are empty, almost no one eats here, and there are few customers in the antique area.

The reporter walked from the Hongkong Middle Road entrance of Swire department store to the exit of Zhangzhou road. It was found that the negative two floors of the underground shopping mall were empty, and there was only a facade at the entrance and exit at the negative floor. The staff of Swire department store told reporters that about 20 stores are still open.

At the exit of Zhangzhou, a lady is selling scarves, clothes and so on. Starting from Swire department store, she started her own small business. At the beginning of her business, she thought she was in a prosperous area, and her business must be done well. However, I didn't expect that she had not only experienced many relocation in recent years but also had difficulty in paying rent for her income. "At the beginning of the business, there was a lot of excitement. At the very least, the whole shopping center was full at that time, and everything was sold. KFC and Watsons also put out posters to be stationed. But in the end, because of the low flow of people, not only the brands could not get in, but also the retail investors were evacuated. I moved from the shop to the South Korean clothing city of Zhen Hua, where I could not afford to rent some gold, and I could not undertake it. Then I moved back and moved to the outlet of Zhangzhou road. There were not many people visiting my shop every day. There was a shop next to me to transfer. The money earned here was not enough to pay for a day, and my 15 square meter rent was 30 thousand yuan a year, though not expensive, but no one.

　　 Analysis: one level changes to two levels, and the examination and approval is difficult to pass.

Although there are still a small number of shops in operation, but the boss of a clothing store has raised his own concerns. Up to now, everyone has no business license, and has always been operating like this. This argument has also been confirmed by other merchants. The reason why there is no business license is that the huge underground shopping mall of Tai Gu department store has not been approved by the departments of planning, fire protection and civil air defense, and has not reached the conditions for completion and acceptance.

Reporters learned from the Municipal Bureau of industry and commerce that no business license is a violation of the regulations, and if they want to apply for business license, they must first have the fire service acceptance certificate of the fire department. If the fire check and acceptance of underground shopping mall is not qualified, they will not be able to handle the business license. Since its opening in late October 2011, Tai Koo department store has been in operation for nearly three years. For a long time, it has not passed the relevant examination and approval. It has also affected the normal operation of some shops. There are no business licenses, many shops can not register with the tax authorities, and even fail to invoice customers.

"Taigu department store has changed its plan in the construction process without approval. It has changed the construction plan to two levels without authorization. Finally, it has failed to pass the examination and approval. Now it has been ordered to make rectification and reapply for approval. The information has arrived at the Planning Bureau." The staff of the Civil Air Defense Office of Shinan District said that due to the incomplete procedures, the owners of the shops had repeatedly protected their property rights. After the declaration of the city's South District Civil Air Defense Office, the business owners' right to use began to be calculated from the date of obtaining the business license.

Before the announcement of the management of the Swire department store, the announcement will be suspended after December 31, 2013, and will be accepted by all departments. Several months later, the final result is still not yet available.

"At the beginning, many people came to rob the shops. The key is to see this location, next to the subway entrance, next to Jia Shi Shi, and the shops are not cheap. The one I bought is eighty thousand yuan per square meter. In this case, many of us have invested less than $4.5 million, and we have invested millions of dollars. The right to use the right fifty years is now being covered. Close to the subway entrance, the entire underground business street across the front until the seaside. At that time, such shops could not fire. They could even be said to be difficult to shop. They were looted at the time of subscription. Many people were trained to buy shops, and now they have been practicing for nearly three years, and their popularity is getting worse and worse.

　　 Helplessness: no one is allowed to rent for free.

This reporter has learned that since the beginning of its business in 2011, the shop sales ratio has reached 98%. However, due to the lack of normal opening procedures, management factors and economic environment, many shops have not made enough money to close the shops, so in the second half of 2012, a large number of merchants have withdrawn from shopping malls, and the company has withdrawn more than 900 yuan for this purpose.

Today, the negative two floors have been basically closed, and the opening rate of the negative one is less than 10%. The daily operation of Swire department stores is about 15 thousand yuan. If the two floors are opened at the same time, the total daily cost will be about 20 thousand yuan (including utilities, security, cleaning, equipment maintenance and so on). The cost of the escalator, air conditioning, water treatment, ventilation and other equipment will cost about 4000 yuan a day. That is to say, the loss of the Swire department store investment company is more than 10 thousand yuan per day. "Swire department stores gave us three options for owners in April 2013, and gave us an analysis of the consequences of the three options. First, the whole shop of Swire shop is closed down. Choosing this plan is the best plan. Another option is to maintain the status quo, which is a scheme of inaction, because Tai Gu department stores carry on the burden of losing tens of thousands of dollars a day, and merchants can not earn enough money to spend their days everyday. The last plan is that the owner will entrust his own property rights to the unified leasing of Swire department stores and hope to open the subway line 2 in 2017. One owner told reporters that the scheme for owners of Tai Koo department store made it difficult for everyone to choose.

Reporters learned that Swire department stores regard the opening of the subway as a life-saving straw. "We will try our best to actively coordinate with the government and the MTRC so that shops can be directly connected to Qingdao Metro Line 2. All construction cost of connection to the MTR and shops is borne by the company. The initial estimate is about 12 million yuan. "

As for the overall investment of Tai Koo department store, the owners are obviously not buying enough. Unfortunately, at the end of 2013, the bulletin of Swire stores announced that it would transfer the operation and management rights of Swire department stores for 5 years, including property management rights, at a price of 1 yuan / year. To date, the right to manage has not yet been transferred.

　　 Recent situation: no family took over, may choose owner autonomy.

On the afternoon of May 20th, in a Property Office on the ground floor of Swire department store, a person in charge told reporters that the Cci Capital Ltd of Tai Koo department store had already withdrawn. Now only the property is here, and then another manager, who is responsible for investment. "The one thing you seek to transfer the right to manage the shopping malls is not responsible for our property. You have to go to Mr. Luo." But when the reporter came to the office where Luo manager was mentioned in the property, he found that a small house was empty in the two underground corners near the middle road of Hongkong, and the nearby cleaners mentioned, "Luo manager occasionally came here in the morning."

There is a notice of rent refund on the door of the property office. From time to time, someone will refund money. The staff of the property mentioned that it has not yet taken over. This may have to wait for the help of the government departments to coordinate, and the approval has already been done.

Shopping malls lose a day in every business day. Some shops that are still stuck here are also in a cold business. Taigu department store Cci Capital Ltd explicitly announced to their owners in their notices on their website that "maintaining the status quo is a kind of inaction plan, so that every day a loss will sooner or later drag down the company, which will also force companies to choose a closed business plan. The result of the closure is that our company will be totally defeated by all the owners, and the owners will not get any return."

After the journalist added a group of owners of Swire, a proprietor told reporters that the city's civil air defense office was coordinating owners, preparing to set up an autonomous management organization of shopping malls -- shopping malls management committee, and set up a preparatory team for owners' committees to ensure that the management of the management was carried out normally when the management temporarily quit. "Previously, the management has promised to coordinate with the government and the MTR, and connect with the Metro Line 2 at its own expense, hoping that the owners will stick to it, but it will take several years."
