These days, it is not easy to run a small factory, and I feel that the money I earn will be gone as soon as I pay the rent. The bosses said: "One hundred and dozens of workers work for me, but I work for the landlord." Many people complain that wages do not rise and housing prices rise. In fact, the speed at which your boss's costs are rising, and the bitterness in his heart, only he knows!

A large ceramic wholesale market in Shiwan faces transformation

On April 1, 2021, the government of Chancheng District issued a house expropriation decision. The expropriation scope involves the Shiwan Real Estate Ceramic Wholesale Market and the surrounding village-level industrial parks.

As a matter of fact, there have been relevant discussions on the upgrading and transformation of the surrounding areas of Shiwan Real Estate's ceramic wholesale market in more than 10 years.

In April 2021, the Chancheng District Government website issued the "Announcement on the Decision on the Acquisition of Houses on State-owned Land in the North Bank of Dongping River (Shiwan West Section) Project" (Fudan House Levy Notice (2021) No. 4). The target expropriation scope shown on the map involves Shiwan Real Estate Ceramic Wholesale Market and surrounding village-level industrial parks.

With the acceleration of urban construction and industrial upgrading, ceramic warehouses need to make way for the development of the city.

On June 21, 2021, a reporter from Taocheng Daily went to the site to understand the situation. According to the results of the tenants’ feedback, the red line of this expropriation is mainly the merchants in the 4th zone of the home market. As to whether the 1, 2 and 3 districts (in the home market) also need to be demolished, the market management has not yet issued an announcement. "We have to wait until June 30 (the time when the lease expires) to see if the tenants in Districts 1, 2, and 3 still pay rent. If not, they will be demolished."

Some tenants also said that even if only the 4 districts need to be demolished, the passenger flow and business in the remaining districts will be greatly affected. "Two years ago, the (home ownership) market was not very prosperous. Some people in the district will move out early, so you don’t have to worry about being driven away at any time.

The rent of the ceramic warehouse in Shangyuan Village has increased by 2-3 times

Nearly 100 ceramic tenants will move away

There are other markets that have recently reported the relocation problem with the Taocheng Daily reporter. "From last year to now, rents in the entire industrial park on Nanzhuang Avenue have almost risen." This is even more obvious in the Shangyuan Village Industrial Park, which is the nearest to the Shiwan Real Estate Ceramic Wholesale Market.

According to reports, Shangyuan Village Industrial Park is a large-scale ceramic storage center in Nanzhuang, Foshan, with nearly 300,000 square meters of ceramic warehouses and hundreds of tenants. Among them, nearly 100 tenants in Zone A of the Industrial Park expired at the end of June this year, and their rents have increased by 2 to 3 times. Nearly 100 tenants who work as ceramic warehouses said that it is difficult to accept the high rent and will soon move out.

Some tenants believe that such rent prices are the result of "malicious upsets". "Under normal circumstances, the rent of Foshan ceramic warehouse is only about 20 yuan." "Originally, our rent was between 15 and 25 yuan, but now it has basically increased by more than two times. The highest is close to 52 yuan, even some large ones. The warehouse of the factory here can't stand the plan to move away."

"Our contract for Zone A expired at the end of June this year. We have been here for more than ten years. If the price is not really unreasonable, no one would want to move." He also added that now in addition to Zone A, tenants in other areas also have concerns. , Because their contract will also expire next year, "the tenants in the Eastern District have now been increased by 13 yuan."

Recently, Shangyuan Village has notified the tenants in Zone A to approve the agreement to the village committee to sign the "Delayed Property Recovery Agreement", but some tenants reported that "most of them refused to sign."

Some tenants said, “They only give 15 days rent-free relocation period and 15 days paid relocation period. If they can’t finish moving within 1 month, then the things will be compulsorily processed by them.” “One month, small warehouse Reluctantly, how to move the large warehouse of tens of thousands of square meters, and we have to find a new warehouse, this is basically impossible."

Some tenants said, “In the industry, they usually give three months to relocate. They only give one month. This is unreasonable and does not give any human touch.”

In response, the village committee of Shangyuan Village responded, “A notice has been issued in April. If tenants want to move out or participate in the June bidding, they need to consider themselves. This is an open bidding and is not under our control. If it is true If there are special circumstances (can't finish moving in a month), you may have to file another application to explain what needs to be done. However, we cannot guarantee that it will be postponed because we are also responsible to new customers."

At present, tenants are seeking further solutions, and some tenants are transferring low-cost transfer business.

Regarding the sharp increase in rents in the Pearl River Delta against the trend, business owners believe that the "second landlord" controls the housing to cut the wool of small, medium and micro enterprises, which will seriously erode the profits of real enterprises, encourage the hype in the factory leasing market, and worsen the living environment of small, medium and micro enterprises. Relevant parties took action to contain it.

Shi Jiejun, executive vice president of Zhongshan Young Entrepreneurs Association and president of Guangdong Yingdeer Industrial Development Co., Ltd., as a member of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, has repeatedly spoken out about the survival status of SMEs.

He gave an example, if the actual monthly rent reaches 20 yuan per square meter, a company rents a factory building area of 1,000 square meters, and the annual rent exceeds 240,000 yuan. If the company's annual output value is 5 million yuan, and calculated at a gross profit of 20%, rent accounts for nearly 30% of the 1 million gross profit, excluding the increasing labor and other costs.

"In this case, companies can only survive with meager profits and cannot compete. However, companies of this size are common in Zhongshan and are an important part of Zhongshan's real economy."

A Shenzhen boss expressed the hope that the government will issue new regulations to prohibit factories from being contracted by intermediaries, and prohibit the second lease of factories, so that enterprises can save 30-40% of rent, so that they can inject new vitality into enterprises!
