Solving The Dilemma Of Newsstands By Taking People'S Livelihood As The First Priority

Predicament Of Newsstand For People'S Livelihood

Recently, the Shenzhen City Administration Bureau held a press conference on signs advertising and street furniture renovation, which revealed that the operating street furniture such as breakfast cars, newsstands, telephone kiosks and other operational street furniture will be strictly controlled and managed by a long-term mechanism.

Among them, "strictly prohibit the sale of beverages and food from newsstands, once the discovery, immediately revoke the license" has aroused the public's concern. The Nandu press survey found that some newsstand owners complained about this. Some people said that selling newspapers could only maintain rents, and even some rent could not be maintained. Many people thought about changing hands.

The motivation of the city management department to strengthen management is undoubtedly positive. The purpose is to plug the fake and inferior products through newsstands.

Distribution channel

In the interview, reporters also found that there are indeed "three noes" through the newsstand sales of food exists.

However, simply prohibiting it is crisp and easy to manage, but it involves the livelihood of 1366 approved kiosks and hundreds of so-called "newsstand" stall owners, which involve many families and thousands of people. Therefore, we need to consider carefully and adopt a more moderate and moderate way.

No emphasis is placed on the sale of beverages and foods without a licence.

However, we can try to explore how the newsstand came into being.

Is it because there are newsstands with permits, or when newspapers are developed as a medium, people find it necessary to set up newsstands and then produce them?

Obviously, there is a newsstand to talk about licensing.

The meaning of the author is actually very simple. Since it has gone through the process of the newsstand from scratch, from no permit to permit process, in view of the current survival reality of newsstands, it is possible to appropriately expand the scope of newsstand sales under the premise of strict supervision and ensuring safety.

It can not be said that drinks were not allowed before. After that, the environment of the city, the needs of the citizens and the facilities of the newsstands are all changing. Is it so hard for newsstands to achieve the standard of selling bottled beverages?

For example, Hongkong.

Licensed newsstand

They are allowed to sell the following 12 items: paper towels, cigarettes, lighters, sweets, incense sticks, preserved fruits, batteries, ballpoint pens, distilled water, trinkets, gift cards and telephone cards.

Is it possible for Shenzhen to conduct in-depth investigation and demonstration, for example, why can we sell distilled water instead of other varieties of water?

Why can snacks such as candy, spicy gum and preserved fruits be sold? What are the standards and requirements?

Can we make a list of the items that can be sold in Shenzhen newsstands?

These work should be specifically negotiated by the urban management department, the market supervision department and the newsstand owners.

The city management department unilaterally declared that "once it was discovered, immediately revoked the permit", it was easy to leave a simple and rude impression on the people, even though it claimed that "it was suggested to be resolved by the store operation or the subsidy of relevant departments".

Such as store operation, in the current rental price of Shenzhen shops, if rent a facade.

Selling newspapers

The cost of selling food and beverages is much higher than that of newsstands. If it is the same rent as the newsstand, the location of the facade may not be ideal, and the operator's income will be greatly reduced.

As for the "subsidy from relevant departments", this is certainly a way out. What is the relevant department?

Is it the Urban Management Bureau, the market supervisory authority or the owner of the newsstand?

At present, only the owners of newsstands have this possibility, but this also requires hard negotiations and deliberations.

For owners of newsstands, after being accustomed to a certain amount of rental income, it is not realistic to ask them to reduce rent or pay subsidies under the continuous economic environment of high inflation.

Such an unrealistic goal, if only by a proposal from the urban management department or by the constant appeals and pleading of many disadvantaged newsstands, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve good results.

Therefore, the urban management department has the responsibility and obligation to grasp a balance between strict law enforcement and people's livelihood. Face up to the reality and historical development of the newsstand, discuss the compensation or flexibility with the relevant departments in order to ensure that the interests of the newsstand owners are not damaged, so that their business can enter a virtuous circle of more orderly and profitable, so as not to arouse a wider range of opposition.
