New Year's Day has just passed, and the Spring Festival is approaching. With the approach of the Spring Festival, the traditional festival of our Chinese nation, the festival commodity market is becoming more and more enriched. In the streets and alleys, pedestrians carry everything in their hands and stuff it in the trunk of a car trip, all of which are full of New Year's goods. For ordinary people, the Chinese New Year is always a festive event worth paying attention to. Every household will prepare some gifts and daily necessities for the elderly, children, relatives and friends to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, it is also a burden for them to celebrate the New Year.
And at this moment, people working in the government have become the envy of ordinary people. Because at this time, all government units will pay a certain amount of holiday fees to incumbents in the form of union fees. In the early years, because of the variety of festival expenses, it aroused the disgust of the local people. Later, local governments introduced various policies and measures to standardize the distribution of subsidies, and finally everyone reached a consensus that all should be issued in the form of trade union fees. At the same time, local governments have also imposed restrictions on the standards and methods of distribution.
At present, cash is not allowed to be issued in all places, only pick-up coupons are allowed. In this way, it becomes a question of who will issue a product pick-up coupon. The resulting battle for the festival fee market is extremely fierce. We can first take a county as an example to predict how large the market share of the annual festival fee is. According to relevant statistics, there are more than 80 million in-service financial supporters in the mainland, and there are about 3,000~6,000 people in each county and district.
We calculate that 2,000 yuan per person per year, and the festival fee spent by a county and district government is between 6 million ~ 12 million yuan. In fact, this does not fully include the various assistant managers hired by the government, the urban management team members, and the staff of hospitals and schools with their own income-generating nature. If such a share is occupied by a very small number of merchants, it is enough to support or maintain the daily expenses of these very few merchants, which can bring these merchants a clear competitive advantage.
In the past few years, various businesses have used various relationships and channels to carry out public relations to various departments of the county and district governments on their own. No matter what means are used, the trading opportunities can reflect the situation of fair competition to a certain extent. In recent years, there has been a very strange situation, that is, there are several or a dozen businesses to carry out joint group public relations, so that it is difficult for those small individual businesses that have not participated in the joint to be shortlisted.
Before forming a group for public relations, there must be a company responsible for taking the lead and coordinating, and the person taking the lead must have an arrogant social background. The participating merchants must also have a written agreement to bind the service or price of the same product. We can't help but ask: Is there any conflict between such an act and the government's advocacy of building a unified market? Whether such an activity will violate the "Anti-Unfair Competition Law"? If a price agreement is signed, will it violate the relevant laws and regulations of the "Anti-Monopoly Law?" these are all issues worthy of the attention and study of the relevant law enforcement agencies.
As consumers, we have the right to choose our favorite merchants and products. However, it is debatable whether the government-led trade union organization can take the initiative to recommend specific businesses and specific commodities to trade union members, or whether various government departments should include fair competition review when they choose their own merchants and commodities when issuing festival fees.
