Small logistics has become the major bottleneck restricting the development of Zhejiang hardware building materials market

“Cooperate with the transformation of north of Hangzhou and the promotion of urbanization, logistics and business flow should be separated. The current market is the spot market, and we will consider a new model in the future. Last month, a new logistics was implemented in Leidian Town, Deqing County, Huzhou City. “The base.” Wei Chunquan, head of the Hangzhou City North Metal Material Market, told the author that an important trend in the development of the hardware and building materials market is the separation of logistics and business flows. “The problem facing the steel market is that the stalls are relatively large. There is no way to do it in one or two hundred acres. The new foothold can achieve transformation and upgrading and the Phoenix Nirvana.”

In the development of the hardware and building materials market in Zhejiang, it is expected that large logistics support will bring new business opportunities to the market.

Logistics promotes sustainable market prosperity Three or four steel markets are located at Shixiang Road, north of Hangzhou City. Thanks to convenient transportation conditions such as expressways, national highways, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, these markets have provided excellent results in the development process. The logistics conditions.

As in many places, this old place is still at the edge of the city, building a pattern of large-scale transportation and large logistics, which has also contributed to the professional market here. Especially when online trading is not yet in full swing, most of the spot trading hardware and building materials markets have a huge amount of land for storage, and the large trucks coming in and going out every day are endless.

For Yiwu people, the most touched thing is the Yiwu people. The Yiwu people use the rattled drums to walk through the streets to create a global market. Logistics plays an irreplaceable role. "The logistics industry can vigorously promote the radiation radius of the professional market." He Pei Song, general manager of Yiwu International Trade City believes that a mature market must have logistics equipment. Yiwu Decoration City boss Zhu Guangxin also believes that the prosperity of the existing market has benefited greatly from the great development of logistics. It is the support of logistics that has won a huge market for Yiwu's various commodities at home and abroad.

Industry insiders predict that the continued prosperity of the professional market will benefit from the support of logistics and will continue to develop in the future.

In fact, there are many markets in Zhejiang that will have greater development if they have large logistics facilities. After examining the Shishi Trade City in Shangyu, the experts believe that Shishi Trade City can be used to take advantage of the G92 (south line) expressway exit. Based on the existing advantages of the professional market, the company can vigorously develop the logistics industry.

Relatively speaking, Shishi Trade City is located in the northern suburbs of Shangyu. As a county-level city, there is still the necessity and possibility of developing large logistics. However, today's Shixiang Road has become the main urban road in Hangzhou, traffic is rolling, and the surrounding real estate development industry is booming. Looking forward to greater logistics space can only be a separation of logistics and business flows, and new space can be developed.

In Yiwu, the market executives of the Zhejiang Province Market Association’s professional association of hardware and building materials markets sighed, the logistics space in the past could not adapt to the current needs, and the idea of ​​upgrading the market and building logistics bases in different places was put on the agenda. .

Separation of logistics and business flow has become a trend similar to that of the Hangzhou North City metal materials trading market. Many hardware and building materials markets are built around the city. With the expansion of the city, the old city-side market has become a market within the city. Most of them are constrained by land and other reasons and cannot be greatly improved.

Industry analysts believe that the separation of logistics and business flows is the product of the development of commodity circulation. With the development of contradictions in production and sales, business flows and logistics will inevitably be separated in time, space, and scale. Under the conditions of modern commodity economy, due to the development of modern science and technology, due to the deepening of commodity circulation, the degree of separation between the two is even higher.

Separation of logistics and business flow has also become one of the common topics of Zhejiang hardware building materials market leaders. “With the expansion of business scale and the complication of business structure, it is not enough to independently research, store, transport, unload, and unload each part of logistics as before. We must study logistics in an integrated and systematic way. In order to make plans, countermeasures, take measures, and establish infrastructure, otherwise all aspects cannot be matched, and things will not work well. The process of commodity circulation will be difficult to smooth."

“Hangzhou has limited land, and it is unrealistic to establish a market in the city center.” Xu Tingen, chief executive of Hangzhou Jianhua Hardware and Electrical Machinery Market, believes that the advancement of the old city transformation and the rise of the real estate industry are a good opportunity for the entire industry. In the long run, he also believes that the separation of business flow and logistics is necessary, and it is also a trend.

“In the past, the traditional market, under the spot trading model, was a one-handed, single-handed delivery model. In fact, logistics is mainly warehousing and transportation, occupying limited land on the market and impeding further market expansion and expansion.” Market leaders believe that foreign, logistics, business flow, information flow separation started earlier, the facts proved to be more reasonable. "China's modern logistics started relatively late, but this trend of separation and operation will also become clearer and the business model and business model will continue to be updated. This trend will also become more apparent."

Lv Zhenhua, vice president and secretary-general of the Zhejiang Provincial Market Association, believes that there are currently three significant operating characteristics in the hardware and building materials market, summed up as store-style, chain-style and warehouse-style. These three characteristics are in fact related to each other. The operating characteristics of chain and warehouse receipts are actually to separate the business flow from logistics.

The headquarter economic model gradually clears the separation of logistics business flow, and building the headquarters economy and logistics base has become two indispensable key points.

Industry insiders also pointed out that the separation of commercial logistics in the market will inevitably lead to changes in the cost of sales. The separation of the business flow and logistics is feasible, and careful analysis of costs is required to determine. After the separation of commercial logistics, logistics costs play a decisive role. Logistics is a key link to support the company's actions. Analyzing the costs requires a comprehensive consideration of customer service levels, transportation, warehousing, order processing and inventory.

Fortunately, in the process of separation of logistics and business flows, the headquarter economic model that has emerged in Zhejiang's professional market is increasingly clear.

"Looking at the headquarters in the original place, so that in the aspect of service, the financial needs of the company can also get a bigger platform." Wei Chunquan said.

Wei Chunquan said that the existing market is already in the urban area. Although the area is small, it can be used as a headquarters to enjoy urban financial services and supporting business policies. At the same time, the logistics base is built in the suburbs and even in the outer suburbs, as long as the transportation is convenient.

In accordance with Wei Chunquan's assumption, the future part of the city to stay in the hardware of the building materials traders to become the headquarters of the economy, it may also join the same type of market to form a new group, to achieve strong alliances and radiation in the province.

For this idea, peers agree that the hardware and building materials market can not always be in the low-end operation, there should be a truly transformation and upgrading process. “Yongkang Science and Technology Hardware City is an example. It is our real goal to make the hardware and building materials market a high-end market.”
