The mainland netizen Mr. Xu told reporters that the Jimo wholesale clothing market is the largest wholesale clothing base in the north, three years ago in the wholesale market opposite the new Jimo Zhongshang Garment City. At that Time, the old garment city a store is difficult to find, the new store is the city government-led investment, the mayor personally promoted, which is a common people are on the set of the main reason.

This is a project invested by the Jimo Municipal Government and China Textile United Joint Stock Company. The video provided by the owner shows that on August 16, 2017, Qingdao’s “executive style” column Jimo Vice Mayor Bi An Chuan answered the public’s questions online, introducing the project with a total investment of 1.9 billion and a construction area of 385,000 square meters, including Jimo Children’s Clothing City, Haining Leather City and International Clothing City.

Bi An Chuan said, “The contractor is a joint venture built by the management committee of the trade city and Sino-fun, we (the government) have shares, but the management is a joint venture company established to manage together.”

Mr. Xu bought the stores in 2017 when the first phase of the project was about to be completed. According to reports, the project is divided into a phase, two, three, the first phase involves more than six hundred owners, the amount of private investment reached hundreds of millions of dollars. Many people are buying the second and third phase, which is to give you a vision, people continue to come to invest.

Mr. Xu said, “At that time, the contract said unified by a third-party rental company management, the city government and then signed a lease contract with them, whether or not rented out, by the Chinese textile company and the city government underwriting, so that many people are convinced without doubt. They are uniformly chartered for 10 years.”

“After a few years, the first phase is also not given a property license, and the rent is not given to the people. The government cheated the people and then sent people to arrest them, it’s so dark.”

He said, “Some of us bought the first phase of the stores, and the Chinese textile company signed a contract, he guaranteed a 7% return, ten years back, the first three years of rent offset the house payment, the purchase price can be paid less. According to the contract from this year on January 1, 2021 should get 7% return on rent.”

“We have a special payment account, January to start to pay the rent of the charter, so far in March has not seen a penny, has been a clear breach of contract.”

“Phase I pussyfooting around and a storefront house, but then not to do the property license. Phase II, Phase III many people have not even seen a front, they put the money in. As a result, the city government has now sold the land in the second and third phases. Many people still borrow money from the bank and have to pay back the loan every month. Many people just want to cry and say we can’t even see hope.”

The reporter inquired about the latest progress of the project of Jimo Zhongshang Garment City, Jimo District Government said in a reply to netizens: the national traditional professional market is generally subject to the strong impact of the e-commerce industry, it is difficult to support the development needs of the second and third phase of the project. 2019, the south side of the Zhongshang Garment City site (including the second and third phase planned by Zhongshang) has been picked up by CMG and Wanda Group, the site will be in accordance with the new plan for commercial and residential and Supporting projects will be built according to the new plan.

The first phase of Zhongshang Garment City in Jimo has been poorly operated

Qingdao is one of the textile industrial bases in mainland China, and Jimo is the main force of Qingdao’s garment industry. In the official propaganda film, the completion of Zhongshang Garment City is compared to “renewing the legend of the thousand-year business capital” and is the “No. 1 project” of Jimo City.

According to the official statement, Zhongshang Garment City is located in the core area of Jimo International Trade City, which is a textile and garment commodity trading center “based on Qingdao, facing Northeast Asia and radiating globally”. The project is advertised as an international trade center, government-led, one-stop wholesale, industry-wide linkage and other six industrial advantages. But Mr. Xu said the key to the people falling for it lies in the government’s leadership.

“I heard that the city government is involved, the government can still run away? Can still collapse? The key is in this place, the government-led projects the government to do publicity to attract investment projects. If the government goes to cheat the people, it is impossible to prevent.” He said.

According to the owner’s description, the first phase of the project is now very dismal. There are a few merchants inside, sparse, some of the storefronts are very dilapidated, leaking, because he did not rent out, and no one to repair and maintain. Similar to the rotten, not quite completely rotten, because there are already merchants moving in.

The old garment city is still operating normally, that is, the Epidemic last year shut down for three months. “The economy is bad and no one expected the epidemic to happen, but a contract is a contract.”

“They are now looking for all kinds of excuses to find other companies to take over again. Land prices have gone up a lot more in the past three years, and the epidemic has passed, and now it doesn’t have much impact on mainland China.” Mr. Xu said that the owners are now asking for a full refund from CCM, including the principal, group purchase fee and three years of interest; or for a property license, payment of rent and liquidated damages.

The director of the management committee of Jimo International Trade City was involved in huge corruption

Bi An Chuan, vice mayor of Jimo, also stressed in the TV program that “the government has invested a lot of financial and material resources and manpower, and the Jimo Trade City was specifically set up as a management committee.” “The specific operation is run by the management company of Sino-spun.” “You are welcome to invest!”

Mr. Xu revealed that there are internal conflicts between the Jimo government and Sinofun. The new garment city is a foreign company to move in, Fujian’s Textile Company wants to use p2p “sharing economy” operation, the two clashed, the government gave them a lot of restrictions.

“It is also true that the official corruption, including the municipal government under the management committee of a hand Liu Yongjun has been arrested, said he embezzled bribes how many hundreds of millions.”

According to the Qingdao Commission for Discipline Inspection website, in July 2020, Liu Yongjun, deputy secretary of the party working committee and director of the management committee of Jimo International Trade City, was investigated for alleged serious disciplinary violations. in January 2021, Liu Yongjun was double-opened.

The report said that Liu Yongjun used the convenience of his position to embezzle public property, a particularly large amount, suspected of embezzlement crimes; solicitation, illegal acceptance of other people’s property, a particularly large amount, suspected of bribery crimes; abuse of power and so on.

In this regard, Mr. Xu said that the management committee must be involved in corruption. “No matter how, it is the city government involved, and can not be because out of a corrupt official, the people’s money all corrupt, this does not make sense.” “Because it is only the management committee, behind the investment is the city government, the city government is still in.”

Monitoring, arrests, losing the case

According to reports, due to the government-led, involving billions of dollars of projects, involving countless people, not only the local people of Qingdao investment, there are Zhejiang, Beijing, and overseas Chinese investment.

“The first phase involved many hundreds of millions of dollars, and the second and third phases he rolled up a lot of people’s money. So that the people began to protest, to petition, but they now block the highway intersection, once on the highway is closed, the public security arrest them.”

All the WeChat groups are being monitored. “The group of people are afraid to say to petition, do not dare to say the city government, say to Torch Square (city hall side) to go sightseeing, is this kind of hidden words, the public security or the first to arrest him in. Someone has been arrested for ten days.”

Mr. Xu believes that the authorities have no reason to arrest people. No one went to make trouble, they just went to ask for money. People reasonably went to ask and just arrested the so-called organizer of the group. There were also owners who went to court, and there was a black and white contract, and the court still ruled against the owners. Because the court will not sue the city, this is also a layer of darkness.

“The current situation is so radicalized that people are really going to jump off buildings. One young man said his Parents had a lifetime of that money that was going to be used to marry him and buy a house, and as soon as they heard about the government-led project they put the money in, and his parents were going to go and throw gasoline on it and set themselves on fire.” He said.

Reporter inquiry found that since last year there are many owners to the media and government departments have reflected the developer default, not delivered, can not handle the property license and other issues.

Qingdao municipal government office of the political hotline office of the reply said “has been handled”: said “due to the impact of the general environment and the impact of e-commerce, at present, some areas in the spinning clothing city is still in the process of investment.” “Jimo District has instructed the relevant departments to help the spinning company to solve the problem of property license as soon as possible.”
