All merchants are dissatisfied with the rent "surge" collective strike
? ? Just last week, more than 700 merchants in the "Wuzhou Decoration Materials City" in Panyu District went out of business to protest the skyrocketing rents in the malls. The merchants posted multiple banners and marched every day, and a large number of police arrived to guard. And on July 15 to the Panyu District People's Government Letters and Calls Office to protest collectively, asking the government departments to conduct justice.
? ? It is understood that there are more than 700 stores in this decoration city. By August of this year, most of the merchants ’contracts are about to expire, and once the contract expires, if the merchant wants to renew the contract, in addition to paying a high amount In addition to the rent, it is also required to pay upgrade and reconstruction fees ranging from 10,000 to 70,000 yuan. At the same time, the newly signed lease contract also stipulates that if the merchant wants to transfer the shop to another person, with the agreement of the management, it must pay a transfer service fee of 30,000 yuan to the management.
? ? The rent to be paid is too high to bear
? ? On July 22, the reporter came to Panyu Wuzhou Decoration Material City. It has been more than a week since the strike. The Wuzhou City seems to have returned to its usual state, and most of the shops are operating normally. However, when the reporter planned to ask further, most of the merchants rejected the interview on the grounds that they had already interviewed by the media and would not say more.
? ? "I have opened a store here for 14 years." Since October 2000, Mr. Cao's family has been stationed in Wuzhou Building Materials City to operate a hardware business. From the receipt of the store rent invoice presented by Mr. Cao to the reporter, it can be seen that the rent of the 64 square meters store in 2011 was more than 8,000 yuan per month. In recent years, the rent has suddenly increased by 10%. In February 2014, the rent was 12826 yuan However, after the renewal of the new contract in May this year, the latest rent in July 2014 increased significantly to 24,305 yuan, which was indeed doubled. "In 2011, the management fee was 320 yuan per month. In 2012, it suddenly rose to more than 700 yuan / month. In 2014, the management fee rose to more than 900 yuan / month." The reporter asked if he could give a comparison of relevant contracts in recent years. At that time, Mr. Cao shook his head: "There is no old contract before! Wuzhou City over there will regularly recycle the old contract without leaving us a bottom."
? ? In the nearly hour of the interview, the reporter saw that Mr. Cao's shop area was quite deserted, with very little traffic, and no guests entered Mr. Cao's hardware store to buy goods. "Now the development focus of Wuzhou City is on the new city side, and the business on our old city side has not been good in recent years."
? ? The rent increase is determined by the market price
? ? Afterwards, the reporter came to the Wuzhou City Business Center to get the latest information from the relevant person in charge of Wuzhou Group.
? ? In response to the charging problems reflected by the merchants, the relevant person in charge of Wuzhou Group said that the rental increase for the implementation of the new contract was set according to the market price of the rental of surrounding properties. He also mentioned that the specific rental charges for shops are set according to different regions, and the standards are different, but it is denied that there is a doubling of the rental of shops. The reporter pointed out that when a merchant reported that the management fee was more than 900 yuan per month, the person in charge emphasized: "Our management fee has always been relatively low. The management fee for a store of 60 square meters is about 400 yuan." In terms of this, the person in charge said that the company has invested a total of 500 million yuan in the upgrade and reconstruction of the Material City as a major project, and the merchants have only undertaken a small part of the cost of the renovation. As for the transfer transfer fee mentioned by the merchant, the person in charge explained: "The transfer service fee itself is stipulated in the contract, and there are frequent speculations and transfers in the market, so the company only eliminates it through transfer fees."
? ? Representatives of both parties negotiate and hope to reach consensus
? ? Merchants told reporters that in order to protest the soaring rents, they began to go out of business on July 11 to collectively defend their rights, hoping that market management could adjust the rents. "Most of our stores are operated in the form of family workshops, doing a small business and trying to live a stable life. If the rents are not so high and we can't afford it, we will not go on strike." Mr. Cao from the hardware store I told reporters that I hope this consultation will yield a more satisfactory result. The relevant person in charge of Wuzhou Group said frankly that the merchant strike had a great impact on both parties, and they also tried their best to negotiate with the merchant representatives, hoping to reach a consensus accepted by both parties. "Our group has already conducted seven or eight rounds of consultations with merchant representatives, and the specific details will not be announced until both parties finalize."
