During this National Day holiday, the county consumer market is full of vitality. A number of traditional department stores and old shopping malls have been renovated, business centers and farmers' markets in towns and villages have been upgraded, and new convenience stores in villages have also been transformed into new service stations.
During the holidays, a number of upgraded and renovated county business districts were unveiled. In this shopping mall in Xinye County, Henan, the consumer business format is updating, and commercial supporting facilities such as smart parking lots, battery swap stations, and fast charging stations have been implemented one after another, giving consumers a better experience.
Consumer Xu Pengyuan: While shopping and consuming, the car can be charged at the same time, which saves a lot of trouble.
County shopping malls are expanding in capacity and improving quality, and village-level stores in rural markets are beginning to take on a new “look.” At the entrance of this canteen in Anshan Village, Chaoyanghu Town, Pujiang County, Sichuan, a small blackboard is filled with newly arrived products. Seasonal pomegranates, autumn osmanthus rice wine, new flavors of spicy strips and other products are put on the shelves.
The categories of goods are increasing, and the services of the canteen are constantly being upgraded. This year, local village-level stores have been upgraded and renovated, and the original village-level stores have also been transformed into comprehensive stations with convenient services such as express delivery. With the continuous improvement of commercial infrastructure in various counties, a number of standardized and standardized new convenience stores have been launched in rural areas. So far, 168,000 village-level convenience stores have been constructed and renovated across the country.
Fill logistics shortcomings and smooth urban and rural material distribution
While county commercial infrastructure is being upgraded and renovated, various regions are also constantly making up for the shortcomings in logistics infrastructure, and more and more county and township residents are enjoying the "convenience at their doorsteps."
During the holidays, Haidao Township, Xiapu County, Fujian Province welcomed many tourists with its beautiful island scenery and mellow folk customs. As tourists flock to the island, the demand for supplies on the island also increases.
B&B owner Zhang Aimin: During the National Day holiday, the number of tourists our B&B received doubled. Normally, supplies are in reserve, but with so many tourists temporarily increasing, we quickly placed an order online. Nowadays, express delivery is also very convenient. You can send it directly in and receive it on the same day.
Haidao Township, Xiapu County, Fujian Province, has 161 islands. For remote islands, there is no bridge connecting Xiyang Island to the mainland, and the transportation of people and daily supplies on the island is inseparable from ships. Things cannot reach the island in time, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive for villagers to send things out.
In order to solve this problem, the local government coordinated passenger transport, freight, postal and express delivery resources and created a new model of "maritime postal cooperation". Passenger ships run between the mainland and the island every day, taking on the task of transporting express delivery into the island.
Jiang Cunliang, Captain of the Passenger Ship of Xiyang Island in Xiapu County: Logistics companies centrally distribute express packages, and we transport them to the island in a unified manner. After centralized sorting at the integrated passenger, freight and mail service points, they can be delivered to the island villagers on the same day.
Not only regular express packages, but also the delivery of various seasonal fruits and fresh products during the holidays is also increasing. Currently, 105 national backbone cold chain logistics bases cover the east, middle and west, becoming the main force in the transfer and distribution of fresh products. This year, the layout of the national cold chain backbone network continues to be optimized, guiding the cold chain service network to extend to rural areas.
In Xinjiang, it is the time when a large amount of seasonal fruits and beef and mutton are on the market. This fresh cold chain warehouse that was just built not long ago gives consumers more choices. There are a wide variety of seasonal fruits, imported shrimps, durians, and various hot pot ingredients, and the number of orders processed in a day reaches 4,000.
In order to better preserve freshness, cold chain insulated boxes are online throughout the transportation and distribution process, without thawing or losing temperature, ensuring that fresh food is continuously chained from the warehouse to the hands of consumers.
Yao Xue, a resident of Manas County, Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture: I bought it this morning and it will be delivered in the afternoon, and the packaging is very good.
Currently, this cold chain warehouse can cover more than 40 districts and counties in northern Xinjiang, further improving the timeliness of fresh food delivery.
Huang Fei, head of cold chain planning at JD Logistics: After saturation coverage in big cities, sites will continue to be encrypted in small and medium-sized cities or remote nerve ending areas. The fresh food section can cover more than 100 core cities, 300 small and medium-sized cities or county cities, and can achieve next-day delivery.
