Garment market keeps going up (map)

Starting from May of this year, the prices of pork, eggs and other foods began to rise steadily, which also led to the rise of milk, oil, vegetables and other foods in different degrees. The housing prices, clothing accessories, and the auto market are also changing at a pace of one day. When the “clothes, food, housing, and transportation” all went up, did the people in Wuhai feel the pressure? How do they respond to these pressures?

When the reporter Wang Wei started talking about people, it was no longer the trivial matter of Zhang Li’s family. Every time he was on the bus, the food market, and the clothing store, he heard people’s enthusiasm to discuss “rising” as Various stories on the topic.

Relative to some high-income groups, price increases may not have much impact on life, but for most of the low- and middle-income groups, the skyrocketing prices have put pressure on people.

Ding Xin is a newly graduated college student who has a unique vision for fashion. Since he took up a job, he has some unique requirements for clothing. He wants to come up with one or two decent clothes to dress himself. When recalling going to college, Ding Xin told reporters that the clothes near the school were very cheap. At that time, the students bought a pair of jeans and the price was only between 50 yuan and 70 yuan. "This price seems to be impossible at present. Imagine."

“When I graduated, I went to work. The environment around us has also changed. The clothes that I wear at the stores are usually several hundred dollars. This price is very high in my opinion, but there is no way, clothes, there are a few pieces. Decent, right? In the conversation with Ding Xin, how many reporters can feel her frustration.

Can not wear clothes, so now Ding Xin bought a lot of tricks to learn to buy quality and cheap clothing, for example, waiting for the season discount, there is a hit ten percent, two hit 80 percent, three hit At a discount of 70 percent or 6 percent, she will choose to buy three items because the discount is particularly high, which is relatively cost-effective.

Ding Xin said that the two days ago to buy two shirts and a T-shirt, if you need the original price of nearly 400 yuan. Because the discount so the 200 yuan to buy, relatively speaking, is equal to the T-shirt spent 29 yuan to buy a hand, and T-shirt original price of 100 yuan. So discounts will be cheaper.

For another example, sometimes encountering clothes that you particularly like, and because the price is unacceptable to them, looking good from the store, you will find similar or the same from the online shop, because sometimes catch up with group purchase or Discounts will be particularly cheap.

Ding Xin's family was in Hohhot, not a native of Wuhai. She told reporters that compared to Hohhot's clothes, it was much cheaper. When he first came to work in Wuhai, he returned to the market several times, and took advantage of the opportunity to go home to go shopping. Season clothing. "The price will be a lot cheaper, including the store's. Before comparing the same brand of down jacket, the price of the Hoh market is 400 yuan to 500 yuan / piece, finished folding 300 yuan to 400 yuan / piece, come back to find the same style of down jacket The price in Wuhai is between 700 and 800 yuan/piece."

For the first time in the society or just a few years after going to work, the considerable clothing prices are too high for them. Then for the middle class, is the price of clothes acceptable?

Niu Yuan is a civil servant. After working for six or seven years, it can be regarded as having a certain economic basis. However, for Wuhai's clothing prices, it is only described by a single word. That is “expensive”. For her, the clothing must be tastefully dressed, but it seems that the taste of high-grade clothing is so high that the price of a pair of glasses is lower. The price of a dress of a more common style is usually between 300 yuan and 600 yuan.

Niu Yuan told reporters that such expensive prices could not be accepted by some of them. Now she often goes to the mall to write down her fancy clothes model and brand, and then go to Yinchuan or other places or buy it directly from the Internet. This is very cost effective and it is also relatively comfortable to buy.

Clothing prices all the way to see "up" is higher costs or increased freight? What causes the rise in the price of clothes as if "rabbits" kept going "up"? Recently, the reporter went deep into the clothing market to find out.

Every holiday in the Wuhai City, shopping malls are always crowded with people. However, it is strange for reporters that “there are fewer people to buy.” Many clothing store owners complain that the clothing market is becoming increasingly difficult to do.

The high price of clothes is not a reason for high prices. According to Ms. Zhang, who has been engaged in the garment industry for more than a decade, the price of housing has soared in recent years, causing the rent to go up as well. This is especially the case this year. The rent has doubled from last year. "If the garments don't increase their prices, they won't even get back for rent in a year, and they'll have to work hard for a year," said Ms. Zhang.

Mr. Yu, who has been engaged in clothing business in the Jinpan Commercial Building of Wuhai City, has been in business for seven or eight years. Mr. Yu told reporters that he was very difficult to get involved in the apparel industry, he could not earn much money, and he did a bit of improvement. The rise has made him a bit too much for his life. "Last year's rent was 40,000 yuan/year, and this year it rose to 68,000 yuan/year. It was too much to eat. We had to raise our clothes to raise the price so that we would not lose money."

Shopping malls are full of various brands of clothing, people see dazzling, industry sources told reporters, causing clothing prices to rise again and again, the cost increase is one of the reasons.

The increase in shipping costs is yet another factor in the rise in apparel prices, but it is not the main reason.

“The freight rate has been increased, but this is not the main reason for the increase in the price of clothing. Although the freight rate has gone up, it’s just a few cents more for each item of clothing. For clothing that is unacceptable, it costs a few cents. The cost of shipping is not enough.” said Ms. Li, the garment operator.

The source of tourists in Wuhai City is the reason why clothing prices are higher than those in other surrounding cities. Ms. Li told reporters that Hohhot, Yinchuan and other places have a relatively large population and a large number of tourists, and they can earn considerable profits through small profits and quick sales. However, there are relatively few tourists in the Wuhai region. If you also follow the Hohhot and Yinchuan sales methods, you may even have to recover costs.

Food, clothing and housing are economic chains that restrict and promote each other. Each change will affect the development of others.

Mr. Yu told reporters that pork prices have skyrocketed all the time in recent days. That is, in those days, the business of the shopping malls has become very deserted. His shop sometimes fails to open one day. Other clothing stores in the mall have felt the pressure of rising foods to bring fluctuations in the clothing market. "So it's not hard to imagine that all the goods will go up together."

However, people always seek balance in the “ups” and seek for a survival rule that suits them. Businessmen will also cooperate with this balance. For example, anti-season promotions now make people shine. Many fashionistas buy winter down jackets in summer to save money, or buy some high-quality clothing in the upcoming season. As a result, not only has the clothes that are well-behaved, but they are also more satisfied with their expenses.
