He's 41 years old. YesRelocationI don't know。
Where in zinan are the best hardware accessories sold? Many think first of all about building a chinese hardware and electricity market. In 1983, the market for construction hardware and electricity was opened. Over the past 41 years, with the growth of the construction and renovation industry, the various gold accessories in the market “go into” the homes of tens of thousands of citizens. Now that this old market is about to be relocated, where will it go?
The build-up market is moving
The citizens were "remembered and killed."
Chinan jianhua hardware and electricity market is located at the north-west corner of longsan road and north park street。
Large roofs, concrete floors, narrow corridors, dark lights are filled with various hardware electrical tools in a small stand divided by shelves. Compared to the modden building outside the market, everything here is “ageing”。
Late in the winter, the construction and renovation industry is out of season and few customers are on the market. Business is cold, there's a lot of merchants in the hallway with warm hands, and they come together to talk。
Zhang yong (alias) who was involved in the valve batch was busy filming his cell phone and wanted to record the last image of the market in camera. Zhang yong has been here for more than 20 years and thinks about moving away soon。
Six months ago, the build-up of the chinese hardware and electricity market was included in the collection of houses for the eastern zone of shandong university hospital ii。
In recent days, zhang yong and other merchants have received a letter of notification that the market will be relocated in its entirety to houses in the north. However, as the rent of the merchants in the original market was paid up to the end of march 2024, the relocation of the market may begin in mid-march this year。
“one half of the youth is here, and here more is love and memory.” zhang ying shared the video with his social media and wrote this sentence, but did not expect to trigger a public recollection, with many comments in the comment section, reminiscent of the prosperity of china。
For many jenans, building china is the brand of the chinan hardware and power industry。
“the first three in zenan's golden wholesal market were formerly the first three to cross the garden road, the willow five and the construction five, and then the construction of china was better, with less time than the other two.” zhang yong's video shows zhang xiaodong (alias) 53 years old with a great deal of emotion。
The outsider is half
Ten years ago, business was so good
According to the information received, on 6 october 1983, the market for construction hardware and electricity was officially opened. For more than 40 years, along with the “footsteps” of the many renovation teams in zinan, various parts of the market have entered thousands of homes, giving rise to many zinan “dreams of security”. Here, there are many people who have a fatherhood and two generations of people who work in the market。
While filming videos, zhang ying often encounters well-known traders who communicate with each other in southern language。
“many of us are from wenzhou, taizhou, jiangsu and fujian.” according to zhang yong, although jianhua is a home-grown jenan market, “outsiders” account for more than half。
According to zhang yong and other merchants, the hardware and electricity business is much earlier in the south than in the north. Since the end of the 1980s, it has been reported that jenan has built a hardware and power market and that southerners have come to zinan to make a living with “southern gold”. “slowly, the market for hardware and power has been expanded in and around chinan and even outside shandong province.”
“from 2005 to 2015, when the market was the hottest, it could be said that there was `crowding'. Jenan's large and small renovation teams, construction engineering companies are all here to get the goods.” referring to the experience of these years, zhang said that it was like taking a roller coaster, “for example, a dollar-in-a-kind spare parts have been sold for three dollars; it's good to sell a dollar and a half now”。
“when the business was good, many businesses made hundreds of thousands or even millions a year; few businesses in the market now make hundreds of thousands a year. It would be nice to have tens of thousands of dollars left for new year's. The business owners who sold sewage equipment said that since 2015, most small and medium-sized businesses had begun to decline, with the exception of some large businesses with fixed turnover。
A much larger number of businesses have stated that, with the rise of internet purchases in recent years, the real hardware and power market business has become even more “heavy”。
Should we move into the new market
Some hesitate, some are decisive
On 10 january, journalists saw on the scene that the house was being refurbished and equipped and that a sign had been placed outside the hardware store。
“we were told a few days ago that the new market would be able to make a deposit.” mr. Liu, who was involved in the distribution of labour insurance supplies, said that, although information about the relocation had been available for some time, a number of businesses were still watching because they did not know what the traffic would be after moving to the new market。
While expectations are high for the new market, rising rents have made it difficult for many businesses to move as ready as zhang yong。
“everyone wants a good place to do business, but the best-flowed first floor rent has risen to 10 bucks per square metre, plus 0. 5 dollars in property, and many good places have been lost.” businesses have revealed that rent costs in the new market have risen considerably compared to the old market. In the case of a 20-square-metre stand in the new market, rents and property combined cost more than 40,000 a year, which is a significant expense in the current depressed industry。
"the top is cheap, but the traffic is bad." according to zhang yong, the new market is four floors in size and the rental price is relatively cheap, but many businesses are stymied, given the flow of people and the difficulty of carrying heavy loads。
Some hesitate, others act decisively。
In the afternoon, at the new market office, 60 and 70 businesses, including liu xia (alias), were queuing for their positions, “to pay a $10,000 deposit before they can take a good position.” liu xia said。
In the view of businesses such as liu xia, the north-west corner of longshan road and north park street have become the landmarks of the chinan hardware and power business, “where the industrial chain is complete, both in the form of merchants and in the selection of customers”. Liu xia said that if he could choose the right shop, he would move to the new mall first。
The golden cows and the white cranes are all transformed
The old market has to move out and upgrade
In fact, building china's hardware and power market is an old professional market in the old city, eitherTransition upgradeRelocation, in chinanUrban renewalInevitability is inherent in the development process。
One week of walking through the market, jianhua, an old market that has been in service for many years, has become so “disturbed” — dirty and crowded that it is not compatible with the modern business climate that has grown increasingly mature around it。
Journalists found that, as early as 2017, in the revision of the jenan city business site planning (2016-2020), detailed plans for the relocation of 187 zenan wholesale markets, including the construction of the chinese hardware and electricity market, had been developed. Of these, wholesale markets in the north to north park street, the south to the south to the 10th, the west to the 12th, and the east to the 2nd ring to the east have all been relocated to out-of-area development or transformation to commercial development。
On 6 january, after four years of upgrading, the market of gold-cow construction materials, which is the home-grown tile lead and builder, began to open on a trial basis. Faced with the rapid growth of industries and the urgent need for upgrading of market infrastructure, the golden bulls group formally embarked on the path of industrial transformation at the end of 2019, in response to a wave of new and old energy conversions in chinan。
In addition to the golden cows, the old building material giant in zinan, there are also the cranes. As a result of the development needs of the north lakes region, the white crane market began to move west four years ago. It is known that, on the basis of the original business class, the cranes group will transform and upgrade their enterprises by building a number of functional areas in the new market, such as logistics parks and electric parks。
Today, following the footsteps of golden bulls and white cranes, jianhua, as a professional market, has also joined the transformation process, driving the process of urban renewal, and the upgrading of the jenan professional market will be “one more city”。
“the movement out of the traditional wholesale market was a trend.” according to an analysis by the director-general of the institute of economic research of the social science institute of jenan city, many of the country's major cities are currently planning or promoting out-migration from the wholesale market. In the context of the construction of four centres and the construction of modern springs, it is necessary to relocate and re-engineer the wholesale market。
“we hope that the new environment will bring more customers and better business.” on 14th, liu xia finally chose her preferred shop. She believed that new markets were new opportunities。
