Puning, The Most Promising Commodity Market In Clothing Trade, Is &Nbsp.

Where to open a shop and open several branches, this is a free choice of business. But in Puning, Guangdong, there has been a strange thing. The Puning International Commodity City issued an ultimatum to its merchants: "if you want to operate here, you can't open a shop anywhere else, and those who violate it will be forced to close."

Why is the market so "arrogant"? Reporters conducted an investigation.

Origin: the dispute between two cities

Puning is a county-level city, but clothing.

In 2007, Puning International Garment City (hereinafter referred to as "clothing city") started construction, and the wholesale aircraft carrier had more than 4000 bunk. At that time, the investment rate was not more than 60%, and the opening rate was no more than 80%.

The garment city has not yet been completed, and another big Mac project has also started: the Puning international commodity city with a construction area of 500 thousand square meters.

The two tiger contends must have one injury. In order to make the two develop healthier, the local government has made clear in a work summary that the clothing city and the commodity city must be mismanaged, and there should be no vicious competition, that is, the former should conduct wholesale clothing trade, while the latter engage in other pactions besides wholesale clothing.

However, the minutes have not yet been released to the public, and when the commodity city inviting merchants, they promise to make wholesale garments wholesale to merchants.

Unidentified people are in a dilemma. After all, clothing traders live on business, and now there are two clothing markets with similar sizes. Different opinions have their own advantages, and some merchants go to commodity city to buy.

The original old wholesale market in Puning is only over 10 mu, and then it becomes two super large scale clothing market. From the original ten Mu old market to 800 acres of new market, it was thought that it would open up shop in two "cities" and the business would add icing on the cake, but the fact is that the popularity of Shang pin city has always been weak.

This has led many businesses to close their stores in the city and concentrate on the shops in the clothing stores.

More and more shops are closing down, and popularity is falling.

Under such a vicious circle, the commodity city management can not sit still, requiring merchants to open shop operation, otherwise the right to operate without paying back, but the popularity is still in the doldrums.

Chaos: thousands of petitions

Contradiction between merchants and management

"We have no alternative but to act as a businessman and look forward to the healthy and orderly development of Puning's market.

Now we know that according to the plan, commodity cities should not conduct wholesale investment in clothing, and their behavior is illegal.

We hope that the functional departments of the government will be able to check the matter and make the truth be out of the world, and we are also fair. "

A businessman who participated in the petition said.

Although the departments involved in the investigation and mediation, but the dispute has not been resolved, but has become increasingly fierce.

In February 16th this year, the commodity city issued to the merchants "Regulations on the conduct of business operations (Interim)" and "undertaking", requiring merchants to accept an exclusive clause unconditionally: "I have confidence and determination to take the commodity city as the development platform, and sell the shops that I rented in the Commodity City as the headquarters for distributing goods, and no longer operate in other markets in the city.

If there is any violation in the operation, we will voluntarily give up all the rights and interests of the leased shops. The premises that I have leased are unconditionally recovered by your company and arranged separately by your company. "

Question: who will manage the "best market"?

A businessman said indignantly: "the commodity city is too overbearing. It is even more arrogant than the monopoly companies such as banks and oil companies.

Is there really no way to manage it? "

Another businessman said, "if the market economy has been practiced for so many years, there will be such strange things that will happen only in the planned economy era. It is really unthinkable. It is simply a retrogression of the times."

Some lawyers believe that the relationship between commodity city and merchant is contractual, and everything should be done according to the contract signed when the right of operation is pferred.

If commodity city does not have the qualification of wholesale clothing, it should assume certain liability for breach of contract in accordance with the contract.

The "overlord clause" put forward unilaterally by commodity city is obviously unreasonable, and merchants have the right to refuse to accept it.

Relevant departments should also intervene in time, guide and adjust, until the relevant unreasonable clauses are removed, so as to promote the healthy development of the market.
