Guangzhou Clothing Wholesale Market That Has Not Yet Been Completed: Ready For Business

"Because of the epidemic situation, there is no shop opening for safety. All of them are temporarily closed. Please hurry back." Outside the gate of Guangzhou Shahe Xintiandi clothing city, security guard told reporters.

The "Millennium merchant capital" Guangzhou is the most important clothing distribution center in Southern China, China, with nearly 100 clothing wholesale markets and markets.

In previous years, these clothing wholesale cities had already been guests like clouds and surging crowds. Businessmen generally came back to open the market in the new year's ninth year.

This year, due to the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia outbreak and the need to prevent and control the epidemic, many clothing wholesale stores and markets in Guangzhou have not yet been resumed.

In February 12th, the reporter came to Shahe clothing wholesale business circle (hereinafter called "Shahe business circle") which is only 4 kilometers away from the central business district of Guangzhou. This business circle is made up of 23 wholesale clothing markets, with nearly 20 thousand stalls. Nearly 200 thousand of the employees are the most wholesaling business circles in Guangzhou, with an average daily sales of 20 to 300 thousand customers, with an average daily shipment of over 3000 tons.

Nowadays, the shops in Shahe business circle are locked and there is no business. The loudspeaker is playing the epidemic prevention information of "wearing masks and washing hands frequently". There are few pedestrians on the road.

"I started preparing for spring sales in October last year and so on, but I haven't been doing business since the first month, and I haven't sent a single item." Li Hong, who has opened shop in Shahe for many years, said. What Li Hong is most worried about is that the goods will be difficult to sell after the season. But when it comes to the resumption of the market, Li Hong is not clear about it and needs to wait for a notice.

The relevant government official of the Tianhe District government of Guangzhou said that the wholesale market in the area is now returning to the market. According to the contents of the notification book on the resumption of wholesale markets in Tianhe District's jurisdiction, it is necessary to submit an application to the street in advance, and the market can be resumed only after on-site verification.

According to the Shahe Street office, the clothing wholesale market of Shahe business district is preparing for the start of the market, including the investigation of the origin of each employee and the whereabouts of the 14 days; preparation of fast infrared temperature detectors, disinfectant water, respirators and other epidemic prevention and control materials; and doing well the ventilation, disinfection and sanitation management and quarantine control of the site. When they are ready to do the work, submit the application and pass the on-site verification smoothly, they will be resumed.

"Our pressure to resume the market will not be too great." He Chuangfa, Secretary General of the Shahe chamber of Commerce in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, said that although there were 3467 Hubei operators in Shahe area, the Shahe business circle strictly implemented the closed management, and the information of 3467 self-employed individuals was handed over to the relevant departments such as street offices and public security departments to follow up one by one. Now the epidemic prevention effect is good.

"We also experienced SARS in 2003. After seeing the news of the new crown pneumonia in early January this year, we were also worried that there would be an outbreak. In January 13th, we proposed the registration of personnel investigation. He Chuangfa said.

"Business people still work together. No one comes back to make a business. After all, they all know that this is also for the sake of everyone's health." Mr. Luo, a staff member of the National Garment City, told reporters that since the 3 day of the Shahe Street chamber of Commerce issued the "Notice of delay in opening the market", up to now, 23 clothing wholesale shopping malls in the entire business district have not been opened for business. On the one hand, the merchants are in line with the relevant measures for epidemic prevention and control, and on the other hand, they will also bear the economic pressure brought about by closed shops.

"The goods that I have been advancing all the year round have been overloaded. Because the epidemic can not be resumed, it can only be exported through the electronic business platform, but the sales volume is much lower than the original one." Mr. Du told the reporters at the clothing wholesale city of the national assembly of women's clothing exports. "Fortunately, the government has promulgated some policies. It is said that the rent can be avoided for two months, so that the economic pressure can be small."

"We hope that the tenants can feel relieved that the problem of rent reduction will be implemented according to policy requirements." He Chuangfa said that in February 6th, when the fifteen measures to support the healthy development of small and micro enterprises in the process of winning the fight against epidemic prevention and control, the owners of Shahe business district will respond positively to rent reduction for tenants, and specific measures are being refined.

"I hope you can wait for a while, so that we can make adequate preparations to provide you with a safe and safe place to operate." He Chuangfa said.
