"Maodong", A Clothing Street For Foreign Trade In Beijing

"Now we can't get enough goods, and we haven't entered new products for nearly a month," a foreign trade clothing store merchant told reporters. Yesterday, the reporter visited the foreign trade clothing stores in Ping'an Street, Dongsi street and other places, and learned that due to the global economic downturn, the number of products in some clothing production industries has shrunk, and the supply of foreign trade clothing stores is in short supply, and some shops are facing or have been closed. One third of the shops in Pingan have already been transferred along the intersection of Pingan street. It is understood that this street is the "gathering place" of famous foreign trade clothing stores in Beijing, and it is a favorite place for many young people to choose clothes. The clothes here are not only fashionable in style, but also cheaper in price. But now, many still operating shops and businesses have said that the supply of goods is becoming more and more scarce, the style update can not keep up with, and the passenger flow has decreased significantly. in a foreign trade store named "Zhenshang", the reporter learned that the main business here is Japanese and Korean style clothing. The business told the reporter that a large number of new clothes will be put on the shelf every year when the season changes, but it has not been updated for a month this year. According to reports, factories producing Japanese and Korean clothing are mainly concentrated in Qingdao, Dalian and other places. This year, many small and medium-sized garment processing factories in these areas have been closed, and the supply of goods is very short. However, it is very difficult for foreign trade clothing stores like this on the street to pick up goods from large-scale processing plants. They can only supply goods through distributors. As a result, the cost increases and the commodity prices rise directly. "The overall price has increased by nearly 20%, the style can not keep up with it, and the price is more expensive than before. Of course, the business is not as good as before," the businessman told reporters reluctantly. Less than 50 meters away from this store, there is a foreign trade clothing store, and at the door of the reporter saw, here has been posted "transfer" notice. the reporter then came to Dongsi street, from Dongsi intersection to Dengshikou in the south. There are also many foreign trade clothing stores in this street. Although Dongsi area is often haunted by young people, this has not changed the current situation of poor operation of foreign trade clothing stores. The reporter found in the east side of Dongsi street that there were two foreign trade clothing stores that have been changed. One has become a sports and leisure discount shop, and the other has become a convenience store. Nearby informed businesses told reporters that the two stores are due to each order is too large, but the goods are delayed, eventually leading to closure. In the past, there was no way to avoid the high cost of foreign trade. The reporter saw that most of the autumn clothing prices here are around 300 yuan, but according to the merchants, the same style can be more than 100 yuan cheaper this time last year.
