Every evening, the temporary regulation points of mobile street vendors in Pozi Street, Changsha, Hunan began to gather various stalls. The 43-year-old Liaoning craftsman Jiayu’s aluminum braid booth is one of them, and his “privately-ordered” aluminum braid is very popular among the public and tourists.
Turning through his mobile phone album, Jia Yu told reporters that he had been to more than 400 cities of all sizes, but he failed to settle down until he was introduced to Changsha by a friend a few years ago. "The fireworks here let me stay ".

Not long ago, the temporary regulation point of some mobile street vendors in Changsha was officially "online", which made Jiayu's heart more settled. "Management is very standard, as long as you bring tables, chairs and materials, you will become a small "store"." Jiayu, who comes out every night, can earn an average daily income of 400 to 500 yuan (RMB, the same below).
"The land-sharing economy" is becoming a key word for China to resolve the employment crisis and boost the local economy under the impact of the epidemic. According to incomplete statistics, as of now, 27 places, including Shanghai, Chengdu, Xiamen, Changchun, Hangzhou, Changsha, and Qingdao, have explicitly encouraged the development of the stall economy.
Take Chengdu, Sichuan, which earlier released the signal for the recovery of the “land-sharing economy” as an example. According to the data released by the Chengdu City Management Committee, as of May 28, the city set up temporary stalls and 2230 stalls, allowing temporary crossings 17147, allowing 20130 mobile vendors to operate, increasing the number of employees by more than 100,000, and the resumption rate of catering stores in the central city exceeds 98%.
In Tianxin District, where Changsha has the strongest fireworks, four streets have been piloted to allow small business vendors to set up stalls on the designated sections, time, and locations of the street.
"Street vendors only need to take the initiative to report to the street, sign a safe and civilized business commitment letter to apply for stalls, and the staff will also register and disclose street vendor information and health certificates." Li Guiyong, deputy director of the Urban Management Bureau of Tianxin District, Changsha City, told reporters that these mobile street vendors Most of them are middle-aged people between the ages of 40 and 50. They are basically the economic backbone of the family. There are also a group of unemployed young people affected by the epidemic.

“The characteristics of the “land stall economy” with low thresholds for entrepreneurship, low risk of failure, and low commodity prices give it a unique advantage in promoting consumption and ensuring employment.” Li Guiyong introduced that by setting up 1226 mobile vendors in multiple streets, Tianxin District solved the employment problem of 2414 people. "We also plan to build concentrated seasonal agricultural product sales points such as watermelons and strawberries, set up direct sales points for self-produced and self-produced agricultural products on the outskirts of the city, and set up direct sales points for agricultural products for poverty alleviation and agricultural assistance, so that mobile vendors can form an agglomeration effect."
The heating up of the “land-sharing economy” has also caused Internet giants such as Alibaba and JD to “take action” one after another. Among them, Alibaba will launch a "land stall wholesale area", and provide more than 70 billion interest-free credit purchases, through the four dimensions of good goods at the source, data intelligence, financial support, and customer protection, empowering more than 30 million "owners" Provide a full range of purchase and business support.
"The stall's achievement in the'grassroots' career also supports the lives of many craftsmen like me." Jiayu believes that "the stall economy" is an important way out for ordinary people who lack capital and technology to solve their survival problems.
After "90s" Zhang Xiang resigned in December last year, he never found a suitable job. After learning of the government's support for the "ground stall economy", he wholesaled some accessories and clothing and began to set up stalls. "There are thousands of dollars a day in income, consider long-term work." Zhang Xiang said, more and more new stalls have recently joined, so that consumers who love shopping are finding a new world of shopping.
"The stall economy has the role of promoting employment, stimulating consumption, improving people's livelihood and facilitating life." Yang Chengsheng, associate professor of the Department of Sociology, School of Public Administration, Central South University, said in an interview with reporters that the "street economy" not only raises the temperature of the city, but also gives city managers Bring new tests. The "land-economy economy" goes further, and the government needs to strengthen standardized management and formulate relevant business requirements to regulate and restrict. (Finish)
