Chengdu'S Luxury Goods Consumption Ranks Third In China.

The Han Dynasty was already a commercial city in the history of our country, called "the five cities". The Tang Dynasty enjoyed the fame of Yang Yi Yi two, and the earliest circulated banknotes in the world appeared in the Song Dynasty.

History has proved that

Innate business genes.

In the past 65 years since the founding of new China, from the planned economy to the market economy, the wave of reform and development has stimulated its inner vitality -- from buying a sewing needle to counting the votes, and now firmly sitting in the Midwest and international brand consumption, the emerging opportunities will push Chengdu towards high-end trade.

At the beginning of the founding of PRC

Army representatives escorted grain, oil and salt into town.

Back in 65 years, let's go back to the early days of new China.

In 1949, Chengdu's business was flourishing in silk, department stores, jewelry, advanced clothing, restaurants and so on. Their turnover accounted for 40% of the city's total, while only 15% of the Western Sichuan specialties, such as herbs and tea, were always sold in Chengdu.

At that time, however, Chengdu's urgent task was to combat speculation and stabilize prices and markets.

To this end, grain, oil, salt and other commodities were escorted into Chengdu by armed representatives in the 50s of last century.

At the same time, in order to establish a highly centralized and unified state business management system, the Western Sichuan administrative office established business management institutions and some commercial enterprises in Chengdu, including specialized companies such as oil, oil, grain, general merchandise, native produce, salt industry and so on.

In 1952, the total retail sales of social commodities in the city amounted to 269 million yuan, reaching 810 million yuan by 1965.

First half of this year

The city's e-commerce pactions exceed 250 billion

After the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee 1978, Chengdu business again welcomed the spring.

The commodity circulation system has gradually changed from single and closed to open, and commercial enterprises have gradually changed from the appendages of government organs to relatively independent economies.

Farmers can sell meat, eggs, fish and vegetables to the city, and some small commodity wholesale trading and time-honored shops have also resumed. The comprehensive wholesale market of Lotus Pond, which was built in 1979, began to exert its strength.

As the largest comprehensive wholesale market in Southwest China, it jumped to eighth of the ten largest wholesale markets in 1991.

In the late 80s of last century, the total retail sales of social commodities in Chengdu amounted to 8 billion 830 million yuan.

With the development of economy, business models are upgrading.

In the first half of this year, Chengdu continued to exert power on new consumption growth points such as online shopping and e-commerce. The volume of e-commerce pactions in the city exceeded 250 billion yuan, the total retail sales of the network exceeded 18 billion yuan, and the volume of mobile e-commerce pactions exceeded 25 billion 500 million yuan.

Commercial outlets

In 2000, there were 945 kinds of markets in the city.

According to statistics, in 1989, there were 120 thousand retail outlets, 30 thousand catering outlets and 25 thousand service outlets, which increased by 7 times, 12 times and 10 times respectively than in 1978.

In 1985 ~1993, shopping malls, shopping malls and other shopping malls were rebuilt, expanded or built.

As the largest department store in Chengdu in the 50s of last century, after the department store was demolished and rebuilt in 1980, central air-conditioning and escalators were installed in 1986.

Built in 1980, the Shu Du mansion is 33 stories high. Besides overlooking Chengdu in the top floor revolving restaurant, the entertainment facilities such as nightclubs, Cara OK, chess and card rooms and billiard rooms also make Chengdu people feel fresh.

By the middle of the 90s of last century, various commercial districts with large and medium-sized shopping malls were basically formed in the main urban area of Chengdu.

In 2000, there were 945 kinds of markets in the city.

In the distribution of commercial outlets, Chengdu's "eat" and "wear" also have regional divisions.

After 1980, the clothing of North Shang Guang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang poured into Qingnian Road. In more than 500 fixed stalls, people's consumption choices were enriched, and they also created wealth for the self-employed.

In 2000, there were 30344 restaurants in Chengdu.

From the hot pot restaurant on the riverside of the New South Gate Bridge in the 80s of last century, the mutton soup pot, which was raised in the vicinity of Xiao Guan temple in the last century 90s, and then to the high grade restaurant outside the wing Ling Road West to the Second Ring Road, add infinite flavor to the city.

Now, Chengdu is actively promoting the pformation of traditional trade centers to regional international trade centers, vigorously developing high-end trade functions and accelerating the upgrading of retail formats.

Upgrading and upgrading of Chunxi Road, Yanshikou, Jianshe Road, red Pai Lou and other business circles are speeding up; the construction of the new town functional area and the modern business integrated functional area in the north new town speed up.

In the first half of the year, the new business area of Chengdu increased by more than 60 million square meters.
