Once Called Haining Leather City, Zhejiang Tongxiang Leather City Became "Ghost Town".

The old home of Tongxiang shoe leather city is Zhejiang poly treasure Real Estate Co., Ltd., which was acquired by Zhongsheng group of Shanghai in 2007.

Sun Zheng told reporters that when Zhongsheng took over, he once planned to pform it into "Korean clothing city". At that time, two new sightseeing elevators were specially built, and several layers of leather towers were built into the Korean clothing market.

The negotiations failed and the whole city was idle.

In an old and yellowish investment brochure, the reporter saw the appearance of Zhejiang Jiaxing Tongxiang shoe leather city after the completion of the plan: there are three giant coconut trees standing in the atrium on the first floor of the shopping mall, and the blue sky and white clouds can be seen through the glass dome.

However, despite the fact that millions of tourist resources in Wuzhen are now regarded as "government 1 project" by many people, this plan has been planned for Haining, which is regarded as the leading market of China's leather industry.

The commercial complex of resistance has failed to write a brilliant chapter.

The visitors will be very sad at the recent situation: the glass windows are broken down, and they are looking inside. The incomplete plastic models are all in disorder. The cartons, hangers and other old things are all in a mess. Even the walls of the fa ade have been eroded, and there has been no vitality.

Only the rain fell repeatedly on the elaborate sculptures of lotus sculptures in the past.

Reporters in Tongxiang municipal government in 2005 a "special meeting minutes" to see that the first leather city in Tongxiang was then established as "

The local key media has also been impressed by the commercial prospects of Haining.

However, a reporter's investigation found that these aspirations failed in the vicious competition resulting from repeated construction.

It is reported that the behind the scenes boss who is in charge of the ruins is trying to reclaim the "old bottle" of the leather city to the "new wine" such as the tail market and the wool textile city, and whether the nirvana can be reborn or not, its focus is focused on the local government's action.

"In 2005, about 200000 shops were bought, which was like buying a junk stock and not cutting meat."

On the first floor of the most popular city in Tongxiang shoes industry, the reporter saw the owner Sun Zheng, who drove alone. He invested in shops in many places throughout the country. He was regarded as the only failure here.

"In 2004, I bought shops in Liuzhou Road, Shanghai, and later I was bought and made about 1000000 yuan. In Huaqiao, I bought shops along the street, and the rental income is more than 20 thousand yuan a year. Only when the profits are wasted, when will it be easy to get rid of it?"

Sun Zheng said, he crushed the ash on the ground, and next to it was a pile of garbage.

According to the reporter, when the business was opened in 2006, the shoe leather city of Tongxiang also had a good time.

"In the early days when business was good, a merchant could earn about one hundred thousand yuan a month, and many of my friends came to the group to borrow money to buy up the cash. In the first few years of the boom, the parking lot was not enough at all, and private cars and tourist buses had to stop at the open space opposite the leather city."

Sun Zheng recalls reporters.

Another local owner told reporters that because of the hot sales, rush to buy or even need to support the relationship "open the door".

"Because the project developers and my unit have work contacts, I rely on internal channels to grab a set of shops on the ground floor. At that time, the government attached great importance to this project. The bank loan cooperation was also very strong. Under normal circumstances, only 50% of the shops could be purchased, and the leather city project would allow 60% of the loan."

No one expected that the excitement of that time was just a flash in the pan.

In June 10th, "China Economic Weekly" reporters at the scene saw that the city of leather has gone out of the air, and only two shops tenants are close to the main entrance. Because of the few visitors, they are eyeing the stock market on the computer screen.

"We specialize in the wholesale of leather belt, almost do not do retail, so it is cheaper to rent the shop as the warehouse for customer picking."

Tenant Xu Yuping told reporters frankly, although the total monthly rent is only 2000 yuan, the current business situation is barely maintained, even in the off-season. "Now the house will leak, so we have to pay for the water pipes to the toilet, and the property is basically abandoned."

According to Sun Zheng, there are about more than 600 members of the industry committee. "Some investors are family buying, one family bought 5 sets, and many of them are elderly people, originally intended to be used as an old-age pension."

In his view, Tongxiang shoe leather city has become a "ghost city" demarcation point is the shoe industry leather City boss behind the "change hands".
