The current situation of China's commerce and the problems it faces and the countermeasures and suggestions for realizing development

First of all, to introduce the current status of China's commercial development, after the reform and opening up for more than 30 years of efforts and promote the development of China's commercial has made remarkable achievements, this achievement is inseparable from the efforts of our friends here, these achievements not only for the upstream for the consumer to make the efforts we deserve, but also in this process of strong or to our commercial enterprises themselves and the development of strong efforts. Strong efforts have been made. We have also received certain results. In terms of the current state of economic development, China's further momentum of economic development is still ideal, we can see through the current state of the country's economic development, China's commercial development is currently facing a very good macroeconomic background, we all know that for five consecutive years in China's macroeconomic development has been in a sustained, stable and rapid development. To 2007 we have been five consecutive years has been to maintain the economy in 8% to 10% annual growth rate, we have developed from 13 trillion yuan GDP in 2003 to 24.7 trillion yuan in 2007, such a fairly large scale. This scale is that we have a certain amount of production capacity and production volume. We have achieved self-sufficiency or full self-sufficiency in a number of areas, and this capacity is such that we can adequately supply the market with the necessary living and production goods.

This has enabled us to pursue the continuous improvement of our standard of living and the further expansion of reproduction. The macro background of our economic environment also shows us that the rapid development of the economy over the years has led to a continuous improvement in the standard of living of our people.

China's macroeconomic background with such a pleasant and favorable factors to our next step in the development of business, retail development and the development of supermarkets have provided a good background, we are full of confidence. But we also clearly see that on the other side of these promising background, we also have to pay great attention to a series of factors that require us to pay attention to and study the problem, we all know that along with the further internationalization of China's economy and our country continues to speed up the process of integrating into the international economy, China's economy has been affected by external factors has become more and more obvious. The subprime crisis that occurred in the Americas the year before last has been transmitted to China through the international financial sector and international capital channels. Along with the global oil prices and food prices of the huge high volatility, we have also been y affected.

All of these have had a profound impact on our domestic production environment and economic operating environment. Our economy in the connection with the international economy due to the massive use of the dollar rack and go out in the majority of the currency is the dollar such a characteristic, the dollar continued for several years of substantial depreciation of the impact on us also had a profound impact.

In our country, due to the growth of labor costs due to changes in the prices of some other basic commodities, the business environment in the commercial field also appeared a series of problems that need to be taken seriously and think about. These are a series of factors and circumstances that must be faced by the next step in the development of China's commercial retail industry and the supermarket sector. We need to do serious research, in such a big background, we seriously think y about the current development of China's commercial situation is very necessary. We see that after several years of hard work the development of China's business is really good.

First of all, we have achieved very gratifying results in the development of scale, in the past five years, the absolute number of China's development in this area and the growth of the magnitude of the development of this area so that we are in the field of their own performance for the development of the primary industry and the development of the manufacturing industry to make our contribution to the development of the primary industry and our efforts not only to support the primary industry and the secondary industry, but also for the consumer to provide us with our own effective and is gradually rich in the development of the industry. We have not only supported the primary and secondary industries with our efforts, but also provided consumers with our own effective and gradually enriched service products.

Our own efforts have also been fully reflected in the overall economic pattern of the country, and thanks to the continuous development of the retail industry over the years, we have achieved the goal of making a certain contribution to the economic growth. By the end of 2007, in the overall development of the national economy, the contribution made by the retail industry and commerce was 4.5%, and for the first time, we realized our basic wish of contributing more than any other segment to the national economy, which had already been the main role played by investment, labor, and imports and exports as the two major factors supporting the rapid development of the national economy, although consumption also made the same contribution, and in 2007 we Changed the situation, the second feature of commercial development is the modernization process of circulation is accelerating.

To the post-war developed countries and regions in the West after nearly 70 years of efforts to cultivate a modern form of business organization and its formation of a series of business models in our country after more than two decades of experimentation, exploration, research, has been widely adopted. And in this process we are y familiar with the local and continue to study, we have carried out a series of enhancement and transformation to make it support the development of China's business is very effective and fruitful form of productivity and production organization.

As we all know, so far, in the global business, playing a major commercial situation of chain management we are not only unfamiliar with and have been able to master this mode of business organization, in the field of business in our country, through the chain management of the commercial sales and commercial activities have exceeded the scale of 1/5, which is ten years before the twenty years or unimaginable. In the commercial field, we have realized our own transformation of the traditional business model by operating in the internationally accepted mode of business, and we have learned the sales methods of convenience stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialized stores, specialty stores, discount stores, and on-line sales, etc., as well as the mobilization of social capital to participate in the economic activities in the commercial field in the form of franchising. Through our efforts, we have carried out a series of innovations on this basis, we have realized the combination of department stores and supermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores, we have also completed the combination of retailing and catering, these are developed countries and regions in their own business practices carried out in the way of very few or existing successes, and these modes of our development has played a positive role in our development, he is in line with the national conditions of our country, the Adapt to our consumer spending habits, not only become the way of business innovation, but also our current and next business profit growth point.

In our field, in addition to a series of efforts made by the front such as the above, we are also carried out by accelerating the construction of distribution centers and e-commerce modern communication technology using modern scientific and technological achievements such as the network, to work hard to build our support system, we also y understand that these support systems continue to improve and the formation of a huge support capacity will enable us to already The formation of the network terminals and stores with more complete to provide consumers with adequate service products, this whitewash and process, in line with the laws and characteristics of modern international business development. We continue to make strenuous efforts in this regard. Although the integration of the distribution capacity has only reached 50% of the distribution ratio, although only 80% of our enterprises to carry out the management of e-commerce and consumer-facing services, but we continue this process, we believe that in the near future we can catch up with other countries and regions.

In the commercial field, we have a third positive feature is that the standardization of business has attracted the attention of the industry and various parties, in this regard, the government of the relevant management departments through the promotion of the legal system, the formation of standards, and strengthen the supervision of the standardization of this field of work has attracted the attention of various parties, but also fully reflects the industry and consumer wishes.

At the same time, we also carefully study the professional characteristics of this field, and have introduced nearly 100 business standards and technical standards. These standards fully describe and define a series of rules in this field from various aspects such as process rules, monitoring, etc., so that the process of legalization in our field, especially through the legalization process, has been fully reflected in our standardization work.

In the industry we also see the same reflection, our business community in promoting the scale of business operations at the same time has begun to deepen the ploughing, to strengthen the enterprise itself and the organization's internal refinement of the management and managerial management, through the efficiency of the enterprise's single store, ping efficiency, seller-driven mechanisms and point of marketing and other means of advancing the enterprise's own refinement of the management, we are trying to achieve through the refinement of the ploughing We are trying to realize the further development of the enterprise through meticulous cultivation, and provide consumers with good service through the carrier of goods by constantly improving the service level.

The fourth feature of our field is the internationalization of China's business to be deepened, along with the growing internationalization of China's economy and the continuous integration into the international economy, the same characteristics of the business sector, we have clearly seen with the large multinational business groups and commercial enterprises have entered China, we have learned and are trying to follow their practices in the same way we are also going abroad, the same way we have learned and are trying to follow their practices. We have learned and are trying to follow their practices in the same way that we are going out of the country. With 100 multinational enterprises out of the world's 250 entering our country one after another, we have also had a considerable number of enterprises enter into overseas reconstruction after completing the listing of their A shares, and we believe that, in such a process, we have not only learned the internationally prevailing way of organizing our business, but we have also been making use of this way of organizing ourselves in searching for and striving for international resources through international markets. resources for our further development in the search for opportunities, expanding capacity and tapping potential.

As above, we have made a brief description of the current situation of China's business, we know that in such a short period of time we can not be such a magnificent change in China's business is completely displayed in front of our friends, but we are the same as everyone else, we are looking forward to our consultations and discussions through a deep understanding of China's business characteristics, in particular, our ability to form the next step in development, to make a decision for our next step in development. , to make our serious and professional intentions for our next steps. On this basis we would like to make a brief presentation with our friends on the efforts we have made on the next step in the development of our business.

It has always been our goal to realize the further development of China's commerce in order to fully complement the sustained, stable and healthy development of China's economy.

From our point of view, we will seriously understand and study the wishes and requirements of the industry in the development of commerce, and continue to devote ourselves to the construction of a policy environment for commercial operation.

We will be guided by the State Council's Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Service Industry in 2007 and the Implementing Opinions on a Number of Policies and Measures for Accelerating the Development of the Service Industry issued by the General Office of the State Council in 2008, and we will resolutely discard all the rules and regulations that restrict and hinder the development of the service industry. We will vigorously promote work in this area so that we can, in the shortest possible time, form a policy environment conducive to the development of the service industry and to the development of the commercial and retail sectors. The Department of Commerce has recently issued a series of considerations in this area, and we envision working with all of you to further advance and operationalize the issues involved in building the policy environment in this area.

The second point we will accelerate the construction of regulations and standards, in this regard, we will promote two aspects of work, the first we will continue to be committed to conscientiously implement a series of regulations and documents have been issued. The first is that we will continue to work on the implementation of a series of regulations and documents that have already been issued. The second aspect we will be in accordance with the needs of business development and changing circumstances and situations, the development of this field to introduce the most urgent and most needed regulations and standards.

Thirdly, we will accelerate the construction of weak links in the business field. As we all know, due to the long-term underinvestment in this area, there is still a big gap in the construction of infrastructure and basic commercial capacity in this area, and there is still a big gap with the requirements of consumers and the primary and secondary industries for us, we need to make further efforts.

We have learned in the study of business work that the construction of the logistics and distribution system is one of the weak links in this area, and we will work with friends in the industry to accelerate the construction of logistics efforts. The Ministry of Commerce has issued a number of guiding opinions on the promotion of circulation, logistics development. In this document we put forward the basic objectives of logistics development in the next three years, we are trying to promote fresh logistics, by promoting the circulation of agricultural products by overcoming bottlenecks and a series of obstacles in the circulation of fresh commodities, through the guidance of the Sichuan project to accelerate the construction of this project. In this project we also expect entrepreneurs in the field of supermarkets to give serious and favorable support.

In the commercial field of the weak links in the construction, we will also focus on the characteristics of the urban side of the development of community development lagging behind the overall urban development of the status quo to make efforts in the community, supermarkets also play an important role in the towns and cities throughout the country, you provide their own services for the residents of the community's sales network and terminals, but at present in the field, we still have a lot of difficulties and problems need to be seriously studied and resolved.

We hope that in this regard, we will also work with our friends here to seriously study and make our further promotion.

The fourth aspect is that we will accelerate the improvement of the service level of the circulation enterprises.

The Ministry of Commerce has been promoting the grading of retail enterprises since 2006, and it has taken us a year and a half to basically complete the grading of retail enterprises in the department store industry. Through this work, we are committed to improving the service level of the retail industry, and to making a series of improvements in the areas of business operation, honesty, environment, safety, energy saving and consumption reduction, so as to provide consumers with the most satisfactory service possible. Currently we are in the supermarket range of grading, we envisage a few years time, one after another in the convenience stores, specialty stores, stores shopping centers, etc. Currently in China's commercial sector to play the mainstream business scope to carry out this work, through a few years of efforts to gradually achieve the goals just mentioned, to provide consumers with a better sales platform.

The last point we will be in accordance with the deployment of the last two years, continue to work on energy saving and consumption reduction of retail enterprises, and the national energy saving and emission reduction construction of a conservation-oriented society in line with the overall considerations in our field to make our own efforts.
