北京最大社區超市倒閉 商業街慘淡 借錢給公務員發工資

Hello everyone, welcome to Huiyan Watch China. I'm Sun Ning. What do you think of the building behind me? Is it very new or a bit ugly? This is the famous Yinghe Soho in Dong'erhuan, Beijing. Let's see how the business inside is doing. It is said to be a bit bleak. The inside of Jingdao Soho is very distinctive. It is divided into the outdoor part and the indoor part of the whole building. You can see from the outside that the business is very bleak. There is very little traffic and you can't see a few shops. Look at the entrance of the mall. Let's go in now. You will know when you go in. The indoor air-conditioning is even worse than the outdoor air-conditioning. There is no one. There is really no one. Such a good location for renting. And there are four or five ads. You are afraid that others will know. Then look this way. There is also no one. It is very cool. This side is for children. It is also closed. I feel a little cold. Let's go to the other side and see how it is. This is the first time I have seen a hidden location like this in Ruixin Coffee. It is in the second floor. It is not just cold. The mall is like a maze. I can't find the exit. I don't know how to get out. Let's take a look at the first floor. The first floor of a normal mall has a very high traffic. The ads you can see everywhere are really terrible. Beijing landmark building Yinghe Soho is located at the southwest corner of Chaoyangmen Bridge in Dongerhuan. It is a large comprehensive project with 50,000 square meters of land and commercial offices. Yinghe Soho used to be a popular place to take pictures and play cards. Now this shopping mall is like not sleeping. There is no energy at all. Beijing's Shimaotianjie has never been so quiet. Netizens have visited Shimaotianjie many times and found that its air quality is extremely high. There are few customers. The sky is not closed. It is to play cheap ads. No matter if it is retail or restaurant, the door is often open. The glory of looking up all over Beijing has become a memory of the times. Under the sky, it seems to have become a place for the elderly to stroll. Faced with the coldness of the commercial atmosphere and the decline in popularity, Shimaotianjie has also undergone many reforms in recent years. But because the positioning is vague and the time control is in a debt crisis, the effect is not obvious. Not only Yinghe Soho, Shimaotianjie, but also Sanlitun and Wangfujing Street are extremely miserable. The shops are either closed or closed. It is really too difficult to open a physical store here in Beijing. It's really a stomach of bitter water. Look at this street around me. The door is closed one after another. There is a notice on the door that says that you can't rent it out. Some of the landlords are so anxious that they can't rent it out or sell it. It used to be one shop for three generations. At that time, people came and went on the street, and business was good. So a lot of rich people invested in door-to-door houses and waited to rent them out. But now the business of physical stores is really miserable. Some stores have been idle for half a year. And those who open the door to do business are not warm or hot. It seems that they can't hold on anymore. I think there are only fruit shops and barber shops left in the shops that can survive here. Although Beijing looks prosperous, there are really few fireworks in the world. The streets are gray and the roads are wide. There are no stalls and no firecrackers in the secret buildings and commercial areas. It doesn't feel clean and tidy, but a dormitory. Today I will show you a food street in Wangjing. How is it now? This building is very close to Wangjing Songhe. There are also many office dwellings next to it. This used to be a mall, but it was later transformed into an office building. Its ground floor is an entire food street. This building is also very close to Wangjing. When this food street first started to do business, they contacted us and wanted us to open a shop here. But because it was too close to Wangjing, they didn't choose to open a shop here. Now let's see. It was very prosperous when it first opened. This shop, that is, the merchant, came to us and asked us to open a hot and spicy shop here. These are all tea and drink sellers. It's more than 5 o'clock in the evening. There are very few people here. The opposite one should be closed. The satellite cafe is still open. The area of ​​this fried skewer station is very small. It still persists. It's all closed here. It's all black. This green salad, crayfish rice, pirate crayfish rice, it's all closed. This shop is also closed. Even the signboard is gone. I don't know what it used to be. It used to be full down here. Look, there's no one here. The hot and spicy shop has also been removed. Now these shops have become a resting place. It's all empty. Some people describe Beijing as a huge city with more than 20 million people. It's no longer popular. Everyone has a serious face. This is really too imaginative. When did this start? Since 2017, the population has been cleaned up. Small and medium-sized businesses have been wiped out. Retail and catering industries are at the forefront. In the past, people in Beipiao knew one sentence. As long as you make xiaolongbao, you won't starve to death in Beijing. Now, sorry, there's no place for you to sell xiaolongbao. This is the change in Beijing in recent years. In fact, many shops in Beijing have a very high control rate. But the entry threshold is also very high. You can't start a business. You can't get a job. Because your job is being driven by the low-end population. Why does Beijing promote such a large-scale chain and a certain amount of capital? Because the management cost is low and the taxes are high. Beijing would rather face 100 general taxpayers than face 10,000 small taxpayers. But due to the economic downturn, some of Beijing's old brands, traditional, large-scale supermarkets have suffered huge losses. Many large-scale supermarkets have chosen to shut down. In fact, these supermarkets have many consumers. Compared with e-commerce and the agricultural market, Beijing residents trust the quality of supermarkets more. For ordinary people, if they can catch up with discounts and buy something a little cheaper, it is also a happy thing for them. Tiantongyuan, which is said to be the largest community in Asia, can't support a large supermarket. This is Tiantongyuan in Beijing. The supermarket is also in Qingcang these two days and will close soon. Supermarket Fa is one of the earliest supermarkets in Tiantongyuan. It is even earlier than Wumei and Jiale Fu. It's hard to get through the epidemic. I didn't expect it to close now. In the past two years, Jiale Fu near here has closed. Hualien has also shrunk in size and only Wumei remains. Tiantongyuan, such a large community, can't support a large supermarket. Supermarkets are really important to residents. They can't do without daily groceries. Especially for the elderly, they don't shop online. Supermarkets close to home are really necessary. And the convenience of supermarkets is incomparable to e-commerce. The days of physical stores this year are really hard. There are not many people shopping in the mall. Many shops are closed. I really feel that this year's industries are very difficult. I am in the IT industry. I have been unemployed for nine months since last year. I have basically saved all the consumption I can save now. Is everyone's industry okay? It's too sudden. The staff of the Herma membership shop told us that it was going to close in two days. This is already the second large supermarket in this place to close. The first is Walmart. When I first came to Beijing, I would come to Walmart every weekend to buy discounted products. Later, Walmart closed during the epidemic. Herma membership shop took over. My daughter especially likes to go to Herma supermarkets. But it was just opened and it was announced to close again. According to the staff, it is a loss. I have to close and calm down. It is also expected that the target group of Herma membership shops will be senior white-collar and gold-collar. A king crab costs 2,000 yuan. This is not something ordinary people can afford. There are also a lot of imported goods and organic vegetables. The goods inside are obviously prepared for people with a high standard of living. A group like me is going to walk around and buy some discounted goods and vegetables. It is said that the location of the supermarket is very good. This is the central supermarket of CBD in Beijing. Above is the headquarters of Wanda Group. It is China's top office building. And there are malls and cinemas near the subway. Such a good location is still in and out. It is to be announced to close. It can be seen how serious the economic situation is now. Many people around have lost their jobs or are facing loss of jobs. Everyone is in a hurry to reduce consumption. Mr. Zhang, an employee of a Beijing supermarket, said to foreign media that business is very difficult now. Competition is fierce. If the goods are expensive, no one will buy them. If the goods are cheap, there is no profit. There are a lot of closed shops. There are a lot of shops that have been shut down. Some places are empty. Some shops are big malls. This shop is not making money. Mr. Zhang said that after the epidemic was over, business was getting worse. People are afraid to consume. At the same time, the catering industry in Beijing is also facing a downturn. According to a Weibo account, Beijing's famous Michelin restaurant Opera Bambana Tiago has fallen into a deadlock. The former was called Beijing's best restaurant. The latter is Beijing's famous western restaurant Laobaohong. The downturn of the catering industry has led to the rise of second-hand retailers. Retailers are at the bottom of the industry, but they are the ones who know the changes in the industry the most and know the cold market. I don't know if you have felt that the money of 2024 is getting harder and harder to make. I thought this year was a year of big sales. I didn't expect it to be a closed restaurant that couldn't be accepted. Do you remember the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in April? There are nearly 460,000 restaurants that have been canceled in the first quarter. If you look at the same period last year, less than 140,000 restaurants increased by more than 200%. Catering is an industry where people take food as their sky. Its decline to some extent can definitely show the development of society. The blogger of the online name Gouge is a second-hand catering equipment retailer. Gouge likes to chat with the restaurant owner to talk about the experience of opening a restaurant and the reason for its collapse. These stories can be used as video content to attract viewers. He posted a video to show how crazy it is to open a restaurant, and how tragic it is to close it. In Beijing, the example of a restaurant that went bankrupt in an instant is clear. Of the catering owners he has contacted, more than 50% of them lost more than 500,000 yuan. Once the new catering industry continues to invest in it, there will be no chance of turning the tables The current catering industry has long been unable to return to its glory 10 years ago. Data shows that in the first quarter of 2024, there were 460,000 restaurants in Beijing that went bankrupt. And this is just the number of registered restaurants. It does not include those restaurants that have not left any traces. Most of the catering owners are middle-aged people. They have accumulated more than ten years of savings and have all invested in it. In the end, there is no return. The first-tier office buildings that used to be bustling with people are no longer as vibrant and prosperous as they used to be. In May this year, according to Wei Lishi, the first quarter of this year, the control rate of the office building market in Beijing was 22%, which is about three times that of 2018. The high control rate has led to a drop in rents. The average rent is 283.3 yuan per square meter per month. Compared with a drop of more than 30% in 2018, Beijing's self-media E-Real Estate describes the status quo of Beijing's office buildings. The greenery inside is smelly. Not only is it smelly, but it is also moldy and attracts a lot of mosquitoes. Now, if you want to rent an office building smoothly, it is much more difficult than selling a house. The price has also fallen more severely than a house. It's like it fell ten years ago. Even some office buildings no longer care about rents. As long as you come and are willing to pay the property fee, they will rent it to you for free. Let's not say that no one is taking over now. Even if someone buys it, you will be scared to see all kinds of taxes. E-Real Estate summarizes that the reason why Beijing's office buildings and commercial real estate rents and rental rates have fallen sharply is because the demand is weak. After the three-year strict blockade of the Sino-US trade war, Beijing's unemployment rate has increased dramatically under the rapid economic situation. Although the official data lacks transparency, you can still feel the severity of unemployment problems Driving about an hour from the center of Beijing, you can see thousands of migrant workers gathered on the streets of Beijing's diplomacy hoping to find a job. Mr. Chai, a citizen of Beijing, recently told foreign media that Beijing's economy has fallen sharply. After six months of lockdown, there has been a decline in unemployment. Many people have lost their jobs. Mr. Chai said, I have been unemployed for two years. Now there are very few jobs and the environment is very bad. There are not so many jobs. Many places are renting houses. Shops and shops are closed. Those shops in the side streets are now closed. According to Mr. Chai's observation, about five out of ten people in Beijing are unemployed. There are many unemployed people around him. Some people are even in a difficult situation. The official blocked the negative news very strictly. Mr. Li, a citizen of Beijing, said, The salary of civil servants in my area has not been paid. Then the government can only borrow money from other districts to pay its own civil servants. I think this is a terrible phenomenon. Mr. Li said, The salary of civil servants has become a common phenomenon because the local governments have been clearing the air during the three years of the epidemic and have emptied the financial reserves. This is really true. Because in the past three years, the CCP government has been spending a lot of money on foreign investment. Now many foreign investors in Beijing are preparing to evacuate. Chinese private enterprises are also in a big disaster. This situation is not optimistic. In recent years, the Chinese economy has seen an obvious decline. Not only did foreign companies evacuate China a lot, but more and more private enterprises are in a state of collapse The CCP authorities are facing the pressure to continue to supply and tighten. This kind of economic downturn is the most serious one since the reform and opening up of China. However, the CCP has been weak and powerless in alleviating these pressures so far, especially in alleviating the real estate crisis. The latest data from China in May shows that housing prices are still falling rapidly and enterprises and consumers are still cautious. Although fixed asset investment and industrial growth are increasing, they are still weakening. Some key financial indicators have fallen to a record level. Foreign media generally believe that China's actual situation may be worse. Analysts predict that in 2024, China's actual economic growth rate will not exceed 1% to 2%. China's major consumers have lost confidence in the future and have no choice but to restrain consumption. Australia's Professor of Economics at the University of Monash, Steve Shih-Ling, said that if this situation continues, China will fall into the vicious cycle we are talking about. Low value-added consumption and low profit will lead to low wages and further force people to reduce consumption.
