It is definitely not only the urban management department that opposes the establishment of street stalls, but also the owners of contractor shops and businesses in indoor markets.
?Because the products sold by street stalls are very cheap and more friendly to the people, and due to the influence of rent and utility fees, the prices of goods in shops and indoor markets are definitely higher than that of street stalls, and they lose their competitive advantage.
It is true that merchants call the urban management to report roadside stalls. This is the case near my home.
Telling the truth is all about survival, and setting up street stalls is also to reduce the burden on the government and earn some living money for oneself. The cleanliness of the city is important, but the survival of the people is even more important.
I am very happy that the Prime Minister has proposed to restore the street stall economy and restore the city's fireworks. This is progress.
Operators of street stalls, shops, and indoor markets do have conflicts of interest, but without competition there will be no progress. In nature, cheetahs run fast to hunt, and antelopes run faster to survive.
Natural selection is the law of the market. As the questioner said, letting administrative departments protect their own operations and prevent others from doing business is like animals in captivity. Without protection, they cannot survive.
The fragrance of roses lingers in your hands with others. If you give others a way out, you will also make a lot of money.
No?
? Let me tell you a true story. We have an underground food court here. The entrance to the food court is a square. The location of the food court is super good. There are a lot of vehicles coming and going, but there are not many parking spaces.
A few days after the opening of the food street, many small vendors appeared one after another in the square at the entrance of the food street, selling food, mobile phone cases, clothes, and fruit. The square suddenly became very lively.
.
The business in the underground food street was also good. After more than half a month, some merchants felt that the small vendors outside were taking away their business and reported them to the Urban Management Bureau. All the small vendors in the square were driven away.
The square outside the food street suddenly became deserted. The owners of the underground food street were happy. Now no one was grabbing business. The result was a big mistake. From then on, few people went to that underground food street. Two
In less than a month, all the businesses in the food court were dead.
Why is this the ending?
I will analyze it below mainly because Chinese people like to join in the fun. In the past, when the square was so lively, many people would go there to have a look and have fun out of curiosity.
As soon as all the vendors in the square were gone, the whole square was deserted. Only a food court sign was exposed on the ground. There was no parking space in that place. When others saw the deserted place, they left immediately.
No matter how busy you are underground, no one outside can see it, right?
The situation is the same if you switch to the poster. There is a word called scale effect, which means that the simpler the economic model of a place, the larger it is, the more attractive it will be.
For example, we know that large home improvement markets and large fruit wholesale markets are very attractive because they feel cheap.
The modern economic form should attach great importance to attracting traffic. The key is to attract customers. The scale effect is a very good form of attracting traffic.
