　　It is not uncommon to "increase property fees", but have you ever heard of "decrease property fees"?

　　Recently, the topic of "property fee adjustment" has once again become the focus of social attention. Many cities have introduced and implemented new regulations on property charges, including Chongqing, Yinchuan and other cities, which have initiated new measures for the management of property service charges, and blocked property fees in many places. Many communities have requested to reduce property fees, and not long ago, a community in Zhengzhou set a precedent for "reducing property fees".

　　How much should the property fee be charged? Is it reasonable for the owner to ask the property to reduce the price? How can we achieve "quality and price consistency"? Is there any possibility of lowering property fees in Zhengzhou? These problems that affect people’s wallets have always been the focus of controversy in the market.

　　Many places have "blocked" property fees, and many communities have requested to reduce property fees.

　　In fact, as early as November 2023, Guangzhou issued a notice to regulate property charges, and implemented government-guided prices for early property service charges. Relevant departments conducted classified guidance according to service levels from low to high, and the highest charge was 2.8 yuan/square meter per month; The situation beyond the limit needs to be approved by the government. This guidance price standard has actually been implemented since 2010.

　　Chongqing, Yinchuan, Jiangxia District of Wuhan, Chengyang District of Qingdao and other places have also issued relevant measures for the management of property service charges this year. Among them, the new regulations issued by Chongqing attract the most attention.

　　According to the charging standard of residential property fees in the central city of Chongqing, which came into effect on June 1, the highest property service fee for elevator houses is 1.9 yuan/m2/month, and the lowest is 1 yuan/m2/month. The maximum price of a residential building without elevator is 1.35 yuan/m2/month, and the minimum price is 0.6 yuan/m2/month. It is reported that this price is far lower than the current property charging standard of many local communities.

　　According to a local insider, at present, the average unit price of property fees in Chongqing is about 2 yuan/m2 for high-rise buildings and 3.5 yuan/m2 for bungalows, which obviously exceeds the guidance price. Therefore, since June, hundreds of local community owners have applied to reduce the current property costs.

　　According to public information, existing communities in Chongqing have announced a reduction in property fees. On June 12th, Great Wall Property, which serves Evergrande Future City Community, announced its initiative to reduce the property fee. Among them, the property management fee of high-rise residential buildings decreased from 2.4 yuan/m2 to 1.9 yuan/m2, with a decrease of about 20%.

　　In addition, Yinchuan also began to implement the Standard Scheme of Government Guidance Price for Early Property Services and Parking Charges of Ordinary Houses in Yinchuan in July this year, with the highest guidance price of 2.2 yuan per square meter per month. According to local media reports, 63 communities of China Shipping, Vanke, Jianfa, Jitai and other property companies took the initiative to reduce property fees before the formal implementation of the "Program", which won the praise of the majority of owners.

　　"The previous property fee plus elevator fee, the unit price of these two items totaled 2.65 yuan per square meter (exceeding the highest guidance price of 2.2 yuan), and now it has been directly reduced to 2.2 yuan through the one-fee system, and the parking fee has also been reduced from the original 380 yuan to 290 yuan. A 100-square-meter house can pay less property fees and parking fees totaling 1,620 yuan a year, which saves a lot of money for ordinary families." There is a local community owner in Yinchuan who has calculated the expenses.

　　The first "property fee reduction" community appeared in Zhengzhou in 2024. What is the current situation of property fees in the market?

　　Recently, Zhengzhou has also seen the first "property fee reduction" community this year. According to informed sources, a property in Zhongmu has been negotiated by the owners’ committee and the property management company, and the property fee has been reduced from high-rise 3.5 yuan to 2.3 yuan, and the villa has been reduced from 4 yuan to 2.8 yuan, with a decrease of 34% and 30% respectively. However, the market reaction to the incident was mixed. Some envious people said that it was another "other people’s community", and some owners who claimed to be the community appeared, pointing out that this operation was shady.

　　Regardless of which is right or wrong for the time being, the reason why this incident can attract market attention is, in the final analysis, the "property fee" involving the public interest. So, what is the current situation of Zhengzhou property fees?

　　At present, there are great differences between different residential areas in Zhengzhou, and the property fees in the sales volume are higher than those in 6 yuan, but most of the property fees in the sales volume are between 2.5 and 3.5 yuan. According to 2.8 yuan’s calculation, a 100-square-meter house costs 3,360 yuan a year. Compared with some old residential areas in Zhengzhou where the property fees are around 1 yuan/square meter, the property fees of the real estate for sale have indeed improved significantly.

　　From the market as a whole, due to the different consumption levels, the property fees in the Eastern District are higher than those in the Western District. For example, it is also a high-rise building with elevators. Zhengdong New District is often above 2 yuan, while the western district is basically between 1.5 yuan and 1.8 yuan; In the same area, the apartment property fee is higher than that of the residence. Generally, apartments are delivered with fine decoration, and the property standard will be higher than that of residential buildings, so the property fee will be higher than that of ordinary residential buildings. In Zhengzhou, the property fee standard of many ordinary residential buildings famous for their good properties will not be higher than that of 3 yuan/m2/month, but that of apartments is often higher than that of 5 yuan/m2/month.

　　So why is the property fee getting more and more expensive? According to the staff of a property company, "on the one hand, because the cost of property operation is increasing year by year, on the basis of considering the operating cost and labor cost, the property fee of new houses really needs to increase. On the other hand, due to the prevalence of clubs in recent years, many new buildings have owners’ clubs, and the maintenance of these gyms and lounges requires a certain cost. "

　　Is it possible to reduce the property fees in Zhengzhou? How can we reasonably adjust the property fee?

　　After the implementation of the "new property regulations" in Chongqing, many citizens in Zhengzhou began to look forward to "will Zhengzhou also reduce property fees?"

　　In response to this problem, Guan Rongxue, a senior analyst at Zhuge Data Research Center, believes that "the’ capping’ of property fees in many places reflects the strengthening of supervision over the property service industry, aiming at protecting consumers’ rights and interests, preventing unreasonable increase of property fees, and eliminating the situation of’ inconsistent quality and price’. In the face of this trend, coupled with the fact that Zhengzhou’s property fees are higher than those of cities at the same level, it is expected that Zhengzhou may also launch a similar property fee’ capping’ program in the future. "

　　In response to the government’s "blocking" of property fees, Yan Yuejin, vice president of Shanghai Yiju Real Estate Research Institute, said, "From the perspective of people’s livelihood, lowering property fees is definitely a matter of benefiting the people." However, property management is a market-oriented behavior after all. "After lowering the property fee, the operation difficulty of the property company will increase, which may trigger a series of chain reactions."

　　Then, if the owners are not satisfied with the standard of property fees, how can they make reasonable adjustments? The reporter learned from the relevant staff of the Property Management Office of Zhengzhou Housing Management Bureau that if the property charging standard is to be adjusted, it needs the consent of more than half of the owners (both the area and the number of people need to be more than half) before the property management department can change the property service agreement, and then make adjustments.

　　Wang Yuchen, director of Beijing Jin v. Law Firm, advised the owners to adjust the property fees. The best way is to set up an industry committee, which is also the most direct and effective in practice. In the process of coordinating with the realty service enterprise to reduce the property fee, if the realty service enterprise refuses to adjust, the owner may replace the realty service enterprise as appropriate.

　　However, if there is no industry Committee in the community and it is not convenient to set up, Wang Yuchen said that owners can also try to adopt the following methods.

　　First, set up a rights protection group. Although the conditions for establishing an industry committee cannot be met, owners who have time, responsibility, mind and legal awareness can still be elected as owners’ representatives to set up a special rights protection group. For example, a villa community project he once represented was not mature in the early stage, so it was impossible to set up an industry committee. However, a special rights protection team was formed, and with joint efforts, many problems were successfully excavated, creating favorable conditions and chips for later negotiations.

　　Second, long-term comprehensive evidence collection. Combined with the property service standards listed in the property service plan, long-term, continuous and comprehensive evidence collection is carried out for the property service of the community. For example, Zhang San is responsible for obtaining evidence for cleaning the community for a certain period of time, for example, Li Si is responsible for obtaining evidence for greening the community for a certain period of time. In this process, we must do a good job of division of labor.

　　Third, turn passivity into initiative. In this case of dissatisfaction with property fees, some owners may be sued by property companies for defaulting on property fees. In case of being sued, we can respond by combining the results of long-term evidence collection, and strive for the appraisal of the property service level, so as to make a relatively objective evaluation of the property service of the community through appraisal. If this evaluation is realized, and the results show that the standard of property fees can not be reached at all, you can ask for adjustment of property fees. It should be noted that this appraisal may sometimes be impossible for one reason or another. In addition, the cost is relatively high, and it is unfair if only one owner bears it. However, this is a good way to deal with the high property fees.

　　Fourth, we can also make a comprehensive survey of the community through government information disclosure and other means to verify the public parts of the community; It is also possible to further tap more bargaining chips through the owners’ exercise of the right to know and negotiate with the property company. If we can solve the problem through negotiation, it is undoubtedly a relatively better solution.

　　Finally, in the process of adjusting the property fee, the owner also needs to know the local regulations on the adjustment of the property fee in time. For example, in some places, the guide price can also be used as a bargaining chip and basis.

　　CCTV News:The General Administration of Customs recently announced that in the first quarter of 2024, China’s import and export scale exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time in the same period, and the growth rate of import and export reached a new high in six quarters. Among them, the import and export of private enterprises maintained double-digit growth, with outstanding achievements.

　　The "intelligence" of a pair of sports shoes

　　Private economy is a new force to promote Chinese modernization and an important foundation for high-quality development. In Fujian, when it comes to the private economy, Jinjiang will definitely be mentioned. As one of the origins of China’s private economy, Jinjiang currently has 96,000 private enterprises, accounting for more than 97% of local enterprises, and its output value, tax revenue and jobs account for over 90%.

　　In a sports shoes production base in Jinjiang, the reporter saw a pair of "ultra-lightweight" running shoes of about 200 grams. According to the person in charge of production, every weight reduction of 1 gram will reduce the physical consumption of athletes, thus improving the performance of the competition.

　　Su Chengyu is the head of a sports shoe fabric manufacturer in Jinjiang. He showed the reporter a newly designed sports shoe fabric with China traditional cultural elements.

　　Su Chengyu introduced that a pair of sports shoes must go through at least 100 processes, from yarn, cloth, soles to finished products, which can be quickly found within a radius of 50 kilometers in Jinjiang.

　　This traditional weaving enterprise has continuously increased its investment in smart manufacturing in recent years, and now it has grown into a national-level manufacturing single champion enterprise.

　　Walking into Su Chengyu’s 5G smart workshop, he suddenly entered a "future factory". The whole process is digitized from visual inspection, automatic cloth finding, automatic production scheduling system and automatic logistics distribution system at the production end. Su Chengyu introduced that this intelligent workshop has been recognized as an excellent application scenario of national intelligent manufacturing by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

　　From "traditional factory" to "future factory", from traditional industry enterprises to leading enterprises with new quality productivity, the digital transformation of this enterprise is a microcosm of the high-tech and intelligent traditional industries in Jinjiang.

　　In the first quarter, the import and export of private enterprises in Jinjiang increased by 46.2% year on year.

　　According to the latest statistics of Quanzhou Customs, in the first quarter of 2024, Jinjiang’s foreign trade import and export was 21.83 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.5%, which was 35.5 percentage points higher than the national growth rate. Among them, the import and export of private enterprises in Jinjiang was 16.47 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%.

　　RCEP Releases Policy Dividend to Stimulate New Motive Force of Foreign Trade

　　In June 2023, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) came into full force for 15 signatories, further helping private enterprises in China to enhance their international competitiveness.

　　As a front-line customs officer, one of Ye Jueling’s important tasks is to visit private enterprises in the area under her jurisdiction, understand the trade needs of enterprises in time, and guide enterprises to make good use of foreign trade policy dividends.

In other words, foreign trade enterprises in Quanzhou can enjoy more than 5.3 million yuan in tariff concessions in importing countries, benefiting more than 200 foreign trade enterprises.

　　News link: RCEP certificate of origin

　　Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) is a free trade agreement covering the world’s largest population and the largest economic and trade scale. More than 90% of goods trade in the region will eventually achieve zero tariffs.

　　The certificate of origin is equivalent to a "coupon", and the holder can enjoy preferential trade treatment among member countries, including reducing or exempting tariffs. These certificates are usually issued by the customs of the exporting country or the CCPIT, and have a unique number, which is an important certificate for export commodities to enjoy tariff preferences in FTA abroad.

　　Jinjiang people love to fight and fight to win.

　　In July 2023, "Continuous innovation and development ‘ Jinjiang experience ’ " It was written into Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Economy. On the first working day in 2024, the "First Meeting of the New Year" of the National Development and Reform Commission organized and held a conference in Jinjiang to innovate and develop "Jinjiang Experience" to promote the high-quality development of the private economy. Under the guidance of "Jinjiang Experience", how can Jinjiang’s private economy achieve high-quality development?

　　Ye Yuling introduced that the biggest feature of private enterprises in Jinjiang is to focus on making a good product for a long time and truly achieve "specialization and novelty". Through technological innovation, this umbrella manufacturer took the lead in using environmental protection materials in the industry to achieve green production and sustainable development.

　　Since 1994, this private enterprise has been engaged in the umbrella business, and has produced nearly 1 billion umbrellas in the past 30 years.

　　Looking around the world, 30 out of every 100 swimsuits are from Jinjiang, and one out of every three umbrellas is produced by Jinjiang. Jinjiang’s production of sports shoes accounts for 20% of the global market, and exterior wall ceramics accounts for 60% of the whole country. Jinjiang people love to fight, and they will win if they love to fight. They innovate in hard work and develop in innovation.

　　Concentrate on doing business, private enterprises develop and grow.

　　As a big city of private economy, Jinjiang has continuously realized the high-quality development of foreign trade by making good use of the "golden key" of "Jinjiang experience".

　　Many private enterprises in Jinjiang are practitioners and beneficiaries of "Jinjiang Experience". Under the guidance of "Jinjiang Experience", Jinjiang, with only 649 square kilometers, has 15 regional brands and 46 well-known trademarks, such as China Shoes Capital and World Jacket Capital. Many private enterprises in Jinjiang, which are renowned at home and abroad in different fields, have developed and become the industry benchmark of China.

　　It started in Jinjiang, but not only in Jinjiang. Nowadays, in counties and cities of Quanzhou, the "Jinjiang experience" is passed down from generation to generation, and the private economy and social development resonate at the same frequency.

　　At present, there are more than 10,000 private enterprises in shishi city, Quanzhou, and there are 228 private enterprises with an output value exceeding 100 million yuan. The output value created by the private economy accounts for 90% of the city’s total economic output.

　　In Nan ‘an, Quanzhou, the private economy has grown from nothing to strength, contributing 90% of the city’s tax revenue, 95% of the regional GDP and 90% of the technological innovation achievements.

　　In Anxi County, Quanzhou, more than 80% of tax revenue, more than 70% of regional GDP and more than 90% of R&D innovation, urban employment and the number of enterprises all come from the private economy.

　　Zhang Wenyang, deputy director of the Fujian Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said that looking at the whole of Fujian, a large number of private enterprises started from industry, focusing on a pair of shoes, a piece of paper, a cup of tea, a piece of glass and a battery for a long time, which has become a model for China’s manufacturing industry to go global. The core essence of "Jinjiang Experience" is that "promising the government" and "effective market" should work in the same direction, so that private enterprises can concentrate on their industries and the private economy can achieve high-quality development.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Recently, an environmental impact assessment report published by the Shenzhen Municipal Government in official website attracted people’s attention: some citizens found that the words "Zhanjiang" appeared dozens of times in this environmental impact report for the dredging of the "Shenzhen Bay" waterway, which was suspected of plagiarism. Let’s see what’s going on

　　　　　　 According to statistics, the word "Zhanjiang" appears 35 times in this "Environmental Impact Report of Shenzhen Bay Waterway Dredging Project (Phase I)", and "Shenzhen Bay Waterway Dredging Project is to implement Zhanjiang’s national economic and social development ‘ Thirteenth Five-Year Plan ’ The embodiment of planning "and so on.

　　　　　　 According to the introduction of Shenzhen Waterway Affairs Center, the unit in charge of Shenzhen Bay Waterway Dredging Project, according to the needs of economic development, Shenzhen plans to dredge the existing Shenzhen Bay Waterway to expand the current 300-ton waterway to a thousand-ton waterway, so it is necessary to deepen the waterway by about 1.5 meters.

　　　　　　 Through bidding, Shenzhen Waterway Affairs Center decided that China Communications Waterway Planning and Design Institute Co., Ltd. was the whole process engineering consulting unit, including environmental assessment. After winning the bid, CCCC Waterway Planning and Design Institute Co., Ltd. subcontracted the EIA to south china sea institute of oceanology.

　　　　　　 According to the investigation process published by south china sea institute of oceanology, relevant technical teams have been working since the end of December 2019. On January 19th, March 3rd and March 19th, this year, Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Transportation posted the EIA report on the Internet for three times in succession. During the third publicity, the citizens found that the EIA report was plagiarized.

　　　　　　 At present, south china sea institute of oceanology, the evaluation unit of the EIA report, has made a self-examination and confirmed that the EIA report of the Shenzhen Bay Waterway Dredging Project is plagiarized.

　　　　　　 According to Article 22 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law of the People’s Republic of China and relevant regulations, the EIA report shall be submitted by the construction unit to the competent department of ecological environment with the right of examination and approval in accordance with the regulations of the State Council. Shenzhen Waterway Affairs Center said that as a construction agent, they have no right to review the report issued by the third-party environmental assessment agency, so they will directly publicize the environmental assessment report of Nanhai Institute of Oceanography of Chinese Academy of Sciences online.

　　　　　　 After the incident, south china sea institute of oceanology issued a series of notices and set up an investigation team to investigate the relevant situation, and made it clear in the latest notice explaining the investigation and handling situation that part of the report involved was the same as or highly similar to the qualitative analysis of the Environmental Impact Report of Zhanjiang Port’s 300,000-ton Waterway Reconstruction and Expansion Project compiled by the Institute, and there was indeed plagiarism. The Institute has suspended its participation in this project contract and initiated the accountability procedure for the responsible person. Competent departments at all levels have been involved in the investigation and the construction of the project has been suspended.

　　　　　　 In response to this incident, at the March regular press conference held by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on April 15, the relevant person in charge said that this incident exposed plagiarism and fraud, and its nature was very bad. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has instructed the ecological environment department of Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province to seriously investigate and deal with it according to law. At present, the provincial and municipal joint investigation team has completed the investigation and evidence collection of the preparation unit, and the case has entered the stage of filing a case for punishment.

　　　　　　 Reporter:If this project is to be restarted, do you need to do the EIA again?

　　　　　　 Zheng Xiaofeng, Director of Shenzhen Waterway Affairs Center:We must go through the procedure again.
