Chapter 58 Comment on Ten Trends

The dialogue with Wenzhou is just a beginning, after a few years, practice will give us more answers. In such a dialogue, a truth has actually been highlighted in front of us, that is; the life of the market lies in constantly breaking through itself and achieving leaps.In recent years, farmers in Zhejiang have not been constrained by the expansion of the number and scale of the market, but have sought development in the overall mechanism of market operation.The market has obviously evolved from quantitative expansion to qualitative maturity. This intriguing turning point can be roughly summarized as the following ten trends:

1. The traditional bazaar trade began to connect with the modern enterprise system.Its characteristic is that a group of joint-stock companies relying on the market broke ground, and the operation of the market has changed from a purely government action to an economic law-oriented enterprise action.In the past, the professional market was generally handled by the industrial and commercial department on behalf of the government, from planning, financing to construction.Today, many markets have been reorganized into joint-stock companies, and the market is completely run by the company. The role of the industrial and commercial taxation department has returned to be responsible for legal registration, tax collection and other management work, and the local government is responsible for macro-coordination and promotion.This trend of commercialization of market construction is conducive to the separation of government and enterprises, to conform to international practices, to invigorate the mechanism, to absorb funds, and to promote the rapid growth of the market. direction of development".

2. The idea of ​​cultivating the market is no longer blindly relying on preferential tax and fees, but focusing on improving the comprehensive environment for market development from a broader space.Just as many places in the past few years have introduced preferential policies to attract foreign investment, various places in Zhejiang often implement light taxes and low fees at the beginning of setting up markets, creating a policy "depression".This situation is currently changing. 3. Commodity trading methods are extended from spot trading to contractual trading or forward contract trading.The premise is that some market stall owners stand out after the big waves, accumulate capital, expand the scale of operation, and some even join forces to form various trading companies.The former hawker has grown into a veritable entrepreneur.

Instead of wading through mountains and rivers and carrying their shoulders, they use modern communication carriers such as telephones and faxes to communicate information, sign contracts with merchants, and organize production and supply accordingly.There are also many smart business owners who are transforming into commodity trading brokers, acting as general agents and general distributors for local or foreign manufacturers and merchants, and obtaining intermediary price differences. Fourth, market operators tend to be diversified.For a long time, the professional market in various parts of Zhejiang was basically dominated by self-employed people.In recent years, more and more state-owned and collective industrial and commercial enterprises have also joined this vast stage to perform on the same stage and compete for beauty.

There are more than 300 state-owned and collective enterprises that have entered the Hangzhou silk market alone, including well-known large enterprises such as Hangsilian, Dujinsheng, and Xidebao, and distribute thousands of products.In some markets, a large number of merchants from Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries have come to open windows.The confluence of various economic components has injected new vigor and vitality into the Zhejiang market. 5. Commercial capital and industrial capital are blended and linked.Many operators in Zhejiang started from scratch by engaging in purchasing and selling activities around the professional market. When the original capital accumulated to a certain amount, they turned to invest in various processing industries related to the market. The rapid development of individual, private and joint-stock cooperative industries.

Sixth, a market group with a reasonable layout and division of labor and cooperation will gradually replace the "princes' market" where the land is firmly established and each occupies one side.In the past, the phenomenon of repeated construction of similar markets and internal friction between each other was changing.Some established "vassal markets" began to be merged by adjacent dominant markets. 7. The professional market began to break through regional limitations, radiating to the whole country and even to the world.There are various ways to achieve this transformation. Some rely on the advantages of local industrial clusters to firmly sit on the top spot in the country, while others rely on countless Zhejiang traders who have traveled across the country to rent counters and operate stalls in various places, forming a pervasive market tentacles. , and others have tried the new model of the mother-child market, directly opening sub-markets in the north and south.

8. The tendency of counterfeit and shoddy products to hide dirt in the market has been effectively curbed.This is not only due to the fact that local governments have adjusted the relationship between prosperity and anti-counterfeiting, but also due to the continuous improvement of the quality of the majority of operators. 9. The professional market gradually penetrates from rural areas to large and medium-sized cities.Due to the upgrading of the grades of commodities they operate, they have begun to be favored by urban enterprises and consumers, and because large and medium-sized cities are located in transportation hubs.Capital, information-intensive and other advantages, the professional market is no longer the "patent" of rural areas.

10. To a certain extent, the specialized market for bazaar-type commodities promotes the accelerated formation of various factor markets, and the relationship between the two tends to be closer.On the one hand, this is the fact of the development of the professional market, which has further strengthened the market awareness of governments at all levels and the general public; on the other hand, in order to expand the professional market more effectively, all localities have begun to broaden their horizons and start cultivating related factor markets.At the same time, the development of the factor market created the possibility for the growth and development of the specialized commodity market at a higher level.

The emergence of ten new trends shows that the professional market has achieved a leap forward in its internal operation mode. However, we are expecting more exciting breakthroughs.
