Beijing Ease Business, Logistics And Other Non Capital Functions

Data map: the Dahongmen market is mainly located on both sides of the south central axis road, and has gathered more than 40 wholesale markets.

The number of merchants in the region was more than 20 thousand, with 130 thousand employees, with an annual turnover exceeding 50 billion yuan.

The picture shows the market in Dahongmen.

"Where should we move? Now, (moving) out and not moving are concerned about the trend of Dahongmen."

Although he has lived in Beijing for more than 20 years, his hair is still full of "northeast flavor".

Xu Changfa, 52, has experienced two "Southward" influences on his fate.

The first "down south" was 20 years ago, leaving the old home in Heilongjiang after leaving the army from the army, and crossing the more than 1000 km to Beijing to become a "North drift". It took root in the Dahongmen area to start the wholesale business of clothing. The second "down south" took place last year. This time it only crossed more than 100 kilometers, and still did the wholesale business of clothing, but it only moved to Hebei Baoding Baigou new city Dahongmen International Garment City.

Closely related to Xu Changfa's life, "Dahongmen" was once the north gate of the two generation royal hunting ground in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but now it is Beijing's most famous textile and clothing distributing center.

It is only 5 kilometers away from Tiananmen. It has gathered 45 active markets, including clothing,

Bedding,

Wholesale businesses such as small businesses, 28 thousand merchants and 58 thousand employees directly.

In recent years, due to the accumulation of too many non capital functions, Xu Changfa, who had lived for 20 years in Beijing, is suffering from "big city disease". Overpopulation, traffic congestion and haze weather are frequent.

In order to ease the non capital functions such as trade and logistics, Beijing zoo wholesale market, Dahongmen and other large wholesale markets have recently accelerated the pace of relocation.

Xu Changfa came to Hebei Baoding Baigou new town with the pace of Dahongmen's relocation.

Baigou new town, known for its luggage and bags, is an important commercial and industrial gathering area in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei economic circle. It has a history of over 30 years, like Dahongmen, and is one of the places to undertake the spillover of Beijing's professional market.

There were more than 1500 merchants who moved together with Xu Changfa.

Sooner or later, it's better to go out and occupy a good place.

Xu Changfa and many businessmen understand that Beijing needs to "lose weight". In the process of easing down the low-end industries, Dahongmen's relocation is the general trend.

"But where to move?" Xu Changfa kept asking this question.

Due to the lack of passenger traffic, many businessmen from Xu Chang FA and many of them moved there were not satisfied with the business conditions for the past year.

Zhao Mingfu, the first Beijing merchant who was first settled in Baigou new city Dahongmen International Garment City, said that when he was in Dahongmen, Beijing, his booth was also seven or eight square meters, and the sales volume was about ten thousand yuan a day, reaching the Baigou, and the stalls extended to 41 square meters. The sales volume of one day was only four thousand yuan.

Xu Changfa attributed the lack of passenger traffic to the lack of concentration in the Dahongmen market.

In order to undertake the wholesale and commercial functions of the capital, many districts and counties in Tianjin and Hebei have offered attractive preferential conditions. They have frequently thrown out olive branches to Beijing's "professional batches" and Dahongmen's specialized markets.

At present, the commercial areas that are known to undertake the relocation of the capital business include Langfang Yongqing International Garment City, Guan Jing Nan garment industrial base, Baoding Baigou new town, Shijiazhuang Le Cheng International Trade City, Tianjin Xiqing area Zhuo Er electric mall and so on.

"The wholesale market pays attention to the agglomeration effect, and now we are building shopping malls everywhere, robbing businesses, dispersing the passenger flow, making no money, and merchants have to return to Beijing."

Xu Changfa said, in the face of the "contention" for capital commerce and logistics, merchants are filled with serious wait-and-see sentiment. Where should they move to? Where is it easier to form a wholesale distribution center for clothing?

"Of course, it would be best to move the entire Dahongmen market directly to another area."

Tian Xuebin, a full-time deputy director and researcher of Hebei University of Economics and Business's Beijing Tianjin Hebei integrated development Collaborative Innovation Center, believes that industrial agglomeration is beneficial to businesses or to consumers, producers and upper and lower chains. Whether Beijing's non capital function can make the industry gather and profit in the process of easing up, and form a new dynamic and stable market, the government should play a good guiding role.

In order to make Baigou new city Dahongmen international fashion city more popular, Xu Changfa, who was elected vice chairman of the Baigou Dahongmen chamber of Commerce, took the initiative to undertake the work of helping merchants in the mall.

However, due to the unsatisfactory operating conditions, more than 30 of the more than 200 merchants who have moved out of Beijing have returned to other markets.

"They feel that they can make money in Beijing even in retail business. Beijing is a big city with about twenty million people after all."

Although long hair had already bought a house in the ditch, he was not going to sell the house in Beijing, and he was going to watch it again.

"If the situation is good, it will take root in the white ditch", Xu Changfa said, if the situation is not good, he also pondered the "northward" again.
