Are The Merchants Of Guangzhou's Big Cloth Market Moving To Qingyuan?

Zhongda cloth market is a highlight in the process of Guangzhou's urban development. It is also a difficult problem in the process of transformation and upgrading of Guangzhou's professional market.

In the initial stage of reform and opening up, the industrialization of the Pearl River Delta started in the textile and garment industry. With the model of "three to one patch, pre shop and factory", the "four tigers" represented by Dongguan, Shunde, South China Sea and Zhongshan have won the clothing orders of Hong Kong and Macao. With the surge in orders, these garment factories are facing difficulties in purchasing raw and auxiliary materials.

At this time, Zhongda cloth market came into being. The early middle and big cloth market is just a gathering place, but with the unique geographical advantage, it develops rapidly and solves the difficulties of raw materials in the PRD apparel enterprises and gradually grows into the largest textile and garment accessories market in the country.

Public information shows that the market range of the Zhongda cloth market is about 5 square kilometers, which stretches across four major municipal roads, including Xingang West Road, Rui Kang Road, Yijing road and East Xiaonan road. It extends to more than 50 sub markets. Currently, it has more than 2 households and has more than 100 thousand direct employees, mainly through various kinds of fabrics, accessories, household decoration products, and so on. At the same time, taking the market as the center, more than 30 thousand large and small garment factories, workshops and shops have been formed, with more than 300 thousand employees, with an annual turnover exceeding 200 billion yuan.

The development of Zhongda cloth market has been more than thirty years ago. It has formed a strong resource gathering capability and market factor allocation capability, affecting more than 70 upstream and downstream markets and industries such as clothing, footwear, leather and toys. It is the hub of the supply chain of the textile and garment factories in the Pearl River Delta region. It has become the most influential clothing business circle in Guangzhou. It is also one of the symbols of Guangzhou international business center.

But this traditional market also has many problems. Now, it is standing on the stalls of transformation and upgrading.

Earlier, there were experts at the symposium organized by the CPPCC. In February this year, the Guangzhou municipal government replied that according to the requirements of the Guangzhou municipal Party committee and the municipal government on "promoting the optimization and upgrading of the central city and orderly easing the functions of the non central city", and combining the strategic deployment of "the integration of the Qing and the Qing Dynasty", we should closely strengthen the docking and connection with Qingyuan, and study and guide the market of logistics, warehousing, processing and other industries in the Zhongda cloth market to gradually ease to the relevant parks in Qingyuan.

This means that the country's largest textile distribution center with more than thirty years of history will face transformation, upgrading and relocation.

To carry out this "big operation" plan means that the interest pattern of the existing interest groups in the market should be redistributed, and even some groups should abandon the existing property rental benefits, and the government resources needed to be used will be more complicated.

After the news of the relocation of the Zhongda cloth market to Qingyuan (specifically the separation of Commerce and warehousing and logistics functions, and the subsequent two moves to Qingyuan), the voice of opposition and support for relocation is about half.

Doubts behind relocation

As the saying goes, "pull a whole body", Li Yi, who has been doing business in Guangzhou International Textile City for more than 10 years, has heard that people have heard about upgrading and upgrading. However, she estimates that it involves too many people. Although the business has not been done well in the past two years, the lease contract with the property has been signed for a longer time, and it should not be relocated in the near future.

Mr. Zhang, who has engaged in the logistics industry for about 20 years in the cloth market, expressed concern about the upgrading and transformation. The logistics is not independent, but is followed by the industry. If the warehouses are all moved here, they do not know what to do in the future.

Most bosses have indicated that they do not want to move, but only hope that the problem of logistics vehicles in the market can be improved, not traffic chaos and more convenient conditions for their merchants.

A professional analysis shows that moving a super large wholesale market is much more difficult than moving a factory. Wholesale market seems to be facade + warehouse + logistics, but behind the industrial chain and industrial ecosystem is far more complex than the surface can see. This is why many people in the industry are against the move after the relocation news came out. There are opinions that, because of the particularity of the industry, the separation of Commerce from warehousing and logistics is difficult to achieve. For the market to be rectify, it can also be moved nearby, but there is great uncertainty in moving to Qingyuan.

Theoretically, warehousing and logistics of different businesses do not need to be clustered together. They can choose the right place according to their own preferences and costs. For larger transactions, the separation of warehousing and logistics is inevitable. But for small businesses and buyers, storefronts and warehouses are not far apart, which is necessary. Suppose that a buyer of popular textile products needs to buy a batch of materials in a short time. It can collect and check the storefront and return it to the processing plant at the end of the car. The goods shipped by the remote control warehouse are likely to be delayed, such as delayed delivery, defective goods, high defective rate, and then returned and replenishment. The timeliness is greatly reduced.

Small businesses can not afford to separate human resources from store and logistics. Small businesses need flexible selling methods for inventory products. The integration of different resources of small businesses and stores, etc., all of which decide that the business mode of the former store is very difficult to change.

The detailed blueprint for relocation has not been announced by the government. According to the present statement, the market of the former central and large parts will not disappear completely. In addition to warehousing and logistics, Qingyuan will surely bring out a large or small business market. In other textile and garment factories in Guangzhou, it may also spontaneously form a new comprehensive market. In short, market demand will not disappear, but efficiency will decrease. In the long run, it will be worrying that the whole industrial environment will be affected.

As for the market of the Zhongda cloth market to move to Qingyuan, Qingyuan merchants also hold different opinions.

It has been more than 10 years since Miss Europe has been running the shops. She told reporters that the business was quite good more than 10 years ago, but the business of these two years was rather poor. She even thought about changing careers. She believes that more external factors are needed to stimulate the market. However, she expressed a wait-and-see attitude towards the impact of the relocation of the Zhongda cloth market to Qingyuan. A shop owner said that he expected the big cloth market to move to Qingyuan, thus promoting the development of the whole industry.

The Zhongda cloth market now has more than 2 merchants and employs more than 100 thousand people directly. At the same time, taking the market as the center, more than 30 thousand large and small garment factories, workshops and shops have been formed, with more than 300 thousand employees. Due to the lack of unified planning and management in the early stage and the development of over 20 years, there are many difficulties in the management of transportation, fire and public security in the big cloth market.

Liu Guohua, chairman of the Municipal Social Science Association, said that Qingyuan should make early plans and layout early. The layout should be more reasonable and fully reflect the appropriate advance of planning. He said that the new cloth market should be planned to a specific point, and which park must have a good distance from Guangzhou. The original cloth Market in Haizhuqu District is definitely not scientific, the longer and the less scientific, now we need to be more scientific. Liu Guohua also mentioned that planning new cloth market should be more accurate in predicting the comprehensive management of people, logistics and related society, and the comprehensive management mechanism should be more perfect and effective. In addition, the link between Guangzhou and other related trade can not be disconnected, rather than moving in and nothing to do with Guangzhou. Can not be broken, there are business flows, many other ties.

China and the big cloth Market traffic congestion industry intends to ease Qingyuan

In recent years, the public's impression of the Zhongda cloth market is usually traffic jams and "five kinds of cars". Last year, the central and western textile business circles and the surrounding areas were listed as the tenth batch of fire hazard areas in Guangdong by the provincial government in 2018. The long and disorderly expansion of the Zhongda cloth market and the "three spot" transactions that have been used have also caused a series of problems, such as traffic jams, fire hazards, commercial and residential chaos.

In this regard, Wang Jialiang, President of the Songxi chamber of Commerce in North China textile market, said in an interview that the market is too chaotic at present. There are many factors that cause this situation. First of all, the 52 branches are too decentralized and the operation of various products is not standardized. Secondly, businesses and managers do not own property rights, and they are in a long-term position in leasing. He believes that the biggest problem encountered in the transformation and upgrading of China textile market is the unclear property rights. Because of unclear property rights, merchants and market management Fang Yongyuan is leasing shops, which leads them to have no motive force for transformation. Everyone has an idea that it is 6 years to do well, and I will leave if I do poorly.

The key to transformation lies in the rational distribution of interests.

The market of Chinese and big cloth, which has 52 branches and 23 thousand stalls, is like an endogenous circular system of commercial self satisfaction.

This endogenous recycling system is already very mature. The 10 largest knitting enterprises in the country are in the Zhongda cloth market. Although the largest supply point of cloth in the market comes from Zhejiang, it does not affect the market of the Zhongda cloth as the largest trading market in the country. Because of the semi finished fabric in the market of Chinese and big cloth, it is more difficult to eradicate the "three current transaction" which has been criticized for a long time. The storage and fire fighting, traffic jam, low form of business and stagflation caused by "three current transactions" make the market more and more in disorder competition.

At present, the market volume of the big and medium-sized cloth market is saturated, and the storage pressure is increasing. This means that the two main bodies of the market have difficulty in docking. The most direct manifestation of this difficulty is that the existing village property can not meet the needs of modern management. It is imperative to transform small scattered businesses and disordered warehouses in the existing cloth market.

The interests and interests of the property and businesses involved in the upgrading are huge, and there are shackles of policies such as village land planning and construction.

The interested parties may become obstacles to transformation, which requires adjustment of government interests and respect for market decisions. The most important magic weapon of the big cloth market is that the market is playing a leading role. Therefore, we must respect the market players' structural transformation as masters. That is to say, the government should give market participants the institutional guarantee for investment and transformation, which will minimize the resistance to transformation and form a win-win situation.

epilogue

The Zhongda cloth market is a miracle in the process of Guangzhou's urban development. It is also a difficult problem in the process of transformation and upgrading of Guangzhou's professional market. On the one hand, without any government support and capital investment, it has developed into a supermarket cluster with a total area of more than about 10000000 square meters in the short term of over 20 years. It has become the largest market of textile and garment accessories in the world. On the other hand, since its development at the beginning of the 1980s, it has been regulated and suppressed, but it has grown tenaciously, manifests its strong vitality and expansion ability. Let's wait and see about the "new changes" in the future. (Graphic source network, global textile network consolidation, please indicate the source).
