Shenyang Auto Parts City Merchants Closed
"It's too strange. I didn't even hear of an early holiday. How can we say that we close the door?" The northeastern motor vehicle parts market, which used to be very old, has become extremely deserted because businesses have closed. According to the person who broke the news, Ms. Zhao said that she usually did a small business near the Auto Parts City. At 8:30 on January 20th, she came to Auto City as usual and found that until 10:00 there was no business operation. “Before it was not like this, the business began to open at around 8:30.” Ms. Zhao immediately said, “At first, I thought it was a holiday that was over the Spring Festival. Later I came from a more familiar owner. I got a letter saying that someone from Beijing has come to counterfeiting, and everyone is afraid to open the door!"
It turned out that Ms. Zhao’s friend told her that a few days ago the Beijing Industrial and Commercial Department had conducted a surprise inspection of a large local auto parts market, and as a result, a merchant was found to have found a large number of counterfeit auto parts. “The law enforcement officials have followed the steps and learned that there are a lot of counterfeit goods flowing to Shenyang. After reporting to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the law enforcement officers of the Directorate General conducted surprise inspections of the Shenyang market.” According to Ms. Zhao’s news, Shenyang Ruisheng Auto Parts City The two merchants were punished for selling counterfeit auto parts. "I heard that it was fined a few hundred thousand dollars!" This is why the northeast auto parts marketers are getting this. After the news, they closed their doors and closed their doors.

If you don’t close, you’re ready to leave.
At about 11:20 on January 20, 2011, in the northeast motor vehicle accessories market, almost all shops were locked by rolling shutters, only a few were in operation, and the shutters were all pulled down by half or even more. It seems to be ready to leave at any time.
The reporter saw a man using the key to open the roller shutter door and immediately walked up to ask him “why the merchant closed so early”. The 40-year-old man saw the reporter first and then looked at the reporter from top to bottom. He hesitated for a moment to say, “Spring Festival, holiday.” The curtain door that was about to open was slammed down quickly. Hey, after turning a few key circles with great skill, he did not leave without returning.
Afterwards, the reporter continued to walk into the depths of the large-scale motor vehicle accessories market, which mainly deals with large-scale vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles. Along the way, except for a few scattered consumers who were unclear to see where they were, they did not see an owner for more than 10 minutes. Later, the reporter finally found a store that operated the battery is still in business and went inside.
The reporter’s face obviously caused the trader’s vigilance, but he still asked the reporter’s intentions. After learning that the reporter came to buy a starter for a heavy truck, the self-proclaimed surnamed Cao said: "You can't buy it here in the past few days. You can come back after the Spring Festival. It is estimated that everyone will be able to Normal business.” As for the reason, his statement is almost the same as that of the clue person Ms. Zhao. “Now the industry and commerce are checking it. Didn’t you see it when you just walked here? It all closed.” However, for this Whether the business was investigated or not, he said he did not know it. "Everyone is passing, there are many versions, and there are quality supervision inspectors. They said that they still saw it in the morning. I am not very clear about anything else. ”
Later, the reporter went to the security guard post at the main entrance of the Auto Parts City. The staff member told reporters that the market's current state of "deafness" is only because of the Spring Festival. "Everyone is a small child. Most merchants are southerners and go home for the New Year." As for opening hours, "it is estimated that after the Spring Festival. ”
In fact, businesses in the northeast motor vehicle accessories market are now shutting down, and many owners of Western Auto Parts City, Ruisheng Auto Parts City, and Dadong Auto Parts City are shutting down.
Around 13:00, the reporter and his party arrived at Shenyang West Auto Parts City on Shenyang-Liao Road. The reporter saw that in addition to the normal business operations of several merchants, most of the merchants are also locked in the door. A closer look reveals that most of the businesses that are out of business are engaged in auto parts, while those who sell auto parts such as seat cushions and glass water are not affected. In a shop called “Car Auto Supplies,” the person in charge, Ms. Liu, told reporters the secret. “Yesterday, it was No. 19. There was indeed someone here to check it, but the main inspection was the goods of FAW-Volkswagen. The merchants selling glass and antifreeze were not included in the scope of inspection, so we dared to continue business.” At the same time, Ms. Liu also provided a clue to the reporter that Ruisheng Auto Parts City was the first to be investigated. I heard that there were at least two stores where fakes were found, and they were probably fined two to three hundred thousand."
The reporter immediately went to Ruisheng Auto Parts City. The situation here is very similar to the first two auto parts cities. Most businesses are closed. An owner who asked not to be named told reporters that the surprise inspection occurred at around 15:00 on January 19. "I don't know which two of them are more convenient to say, but I can tell you very definitely what they are doing. The products are all related to FAW-Volkswagen. More specifically, they are all parts of the Volkswagen." The owner said that the inspection process is law enforcement officers disguised as ordinary consumers to take pictures and evidence, and then uniformed law enforcement personnel and manufacturers. The staff members compared the goods together at the scene and immediately sealed it. “The penalty notice was opened on the spot. The specific amount was not very clear to us. Each of them was estimated to be more than 100,000 yuan.”
Later, the reporter also came to the Dadong Auto Parts City in Dadong District, where many merchants also got such news and closed their doors.

Fighting rumors is not groundless
Does the relevant department really have anti-counterfeiting actions? For the rumors circulating in various auto parts markets in Shenyang, the reporter confirmed the relevant departments. “The anti-counterfeiting operation was not known to Shenyang's industrial and commercial departments. The anti-counterfeiting operation carried out on the 19th was certainly not carried out by the industrial and commercial department of Shenyang City,” said a staff member responsible for propaganda at the Shenyang City Bureau of Industry and Commerce. The quality and technical supervision department also denied this.
During the visit, the owners of the Auto Parts City said that they did not know the main law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation and they only knew that the law enforcement officers were “from Beijing”. However, one insider revealed that the counterfeiting action was triggered by a fake counterfeit auto parts case seized in Beijing. The specific responsible for investigation was also the relevant national law enforcement agencies. Due to time, the reporter did not contact the State Administration of Industry and Commerce and the quality supervision department to verify the matter.
According to speculation by the staff of the industrial and commercial department of Shenyang City, the anti-counterfeiting action against the auto parts industry should originate from the special action of the State Council to crack down on infringement of intellectual property rights and manufacture and sale of fake and shoddy goods.
According to reports, on October 27, 2010, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Printing and Distributing a Special Action Plan to Combat Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and the Production and Sales of Counterfeit and Inferior Goods". In recent years, China's intellectual property protection work has achieved positive results. At the same time, due to the influence of many factors, the phenomenon of infringement of intellectual property rights and the manufacture and sales of counterfeit and shoddy goods still occur from time to time and is still serious in some areas and areas. The State Council decided to set up a national leading group to combat infringement of intellectual property rights and the production and sale of counterfeit and shoddy goods. From October 2010 to March 2011, the country will launch a special campaign to crack down on infringements of intellectual property rights and manufacture and sale of fake and shoddy goods. Focused on investigating and handling a number of major intellectual property infringement cases of major concern at home and abroad, exposing a group of illegal and infringing enterprises, and raising consumer awareness of counterfeiting, forming a social atmosphere that consciously resists counterfeit and shoddy goods and values intellectual property protection. Responsible for the unified leadership of special operations, supervise and inspect the progress of the work, supervise the handling of major cases. The specific organization of the specific actions is implemented from November 2010 to February 2011.
The staff of the industrial and commercial department introduced that this special action, which focuses on the protection of copyrights, trademark rights, patent rights and new plant variety rights, was coordinated by the press and publishing (copyright), public security, industry and commerce, and quality inspection departments to focus on rectifying products. Manufacturing areas such as centralized sites, commodity distribution centers, infringements of intellectual property rights, and high incidence of counterfeit and shoddy goods, press and publishing, cultural and entertainment industries, high-tech industries, and agricultural fields, focusing on investigation of books, audio-visual products, software, and bulk export commodities. Automobile accessories, mobile phones, medicines, seeds and other products, to curb the scale of violations of intellectual property rights. Among them, the industrial and commercial department will severely crack down on counterfeit goods, such as unique names, packaging, and decoration; investigate and punish illegal activities that infringe on the exclusive right to use registered trademarks and geographical indications, and stop malicious trademark registration. For those who meet the criminal prosecution standards and are suspected of committing crimes, they must be promptly transferred to public security agencies.
Concealed
Several parties scramble to lay the market hidden danger
To build China’s Detroit and focus on the development of the automotive industry, Shenyang has been working hard to create an atmosphere in which, in addition to creating a good automobile market, it is necessary to create a “postmarket” for automobiles, including the use, maintenance and repair of automobiles. How the “post-market” develops and manages has become a problem that the industry has to face.
Before the “Ruixin” and “Guorui” entered the Shenshen market, Shenyang Auto Parts Market once presented a “three pillars” situation: Western Auto Parts City, Northeast Auto Parts City, and Tawan Auto Parts City were separated in western, central and northwestern parts of Shenyang. Among them, Northeast Auto Parts City and Western Auto Parts City are mainly passenger cars, and Tawan Auto Parts City is mainly based on heavy trucks. In addition to these three major markets, Shenyang also has several small markets such as Hengcheng and Rongfu, but none of them can compare with the Big Three.
On April 6, 2007, Northeast China Auto Parts City, which had the largest share of market share in the Northeast Auto Parts City, had been exposed to heavy smoke. Many businesses also have to find another way out. The Western Auto Parts City, which originally had a relatively backward operation, was undoubtedly the best choice because of its similarity in positioning. Since then, the auto parts market in Shenyang has entered the era of the hutch rivalry. Due to the certain misalignment of the two business projects, they can still “coexist peacefully”.
As Shenyang Ruisheng International Auto Parts City and Shenyang Guorui Automobile Auto Parts Expo Center both landed in Shenyang City in succession, the auto parts market in Shenyang has undergone tremendous changes.
Since the position of “Ruisheng” is a professional auto parts market including various models such as passenger cars and trucks, in addition to attracting some large manufacturers to stay here, it will also attract a portion of Tawan Auto Parts City. Households and most of the households relocating from the Auto Parts City of the Northeast to the Western Auto Parts City.
Located in the Dadong District, the Shenyang Guorui Automobile Auto Parts Expo Center Merchants Reception Center opened its doors. As Shenyang's original Auto Parts City was fully concentrated in the west, its unique location has become an important factor in attracting auto parts operators.
At this point, the auto parts market in Shenyang evolved from a hutch rivalry to a four-nation hegemonic situation.
As the various auto parts markets across the country have been buoyed by large-scale projects, they have shown a lively scene, and “there is competition in the market”. The ever-changing law of the business community has begun to evaporate and become more and more active. With the construction of Auto Parts City in various parts of the country becoming more and more frequent, investment inviting methods have been repeated and the competition among tourists has become increasingly fierce. Especially in the same city, many of the auto parts market's key publicity targets are limited to the region. In the auto parts market, investors have racked their brains to enchant by the coveted beautiful blueprints, and a large number of merchants abandoned it. This market has defected to another market, which has virtually created a vicious circle of frequent changes in businesses.
While the auto parts market is passively in an awkward situation, unregulated businesses have also brought great troubles for market management. Since many of the dealers' customers are self-developed and not fixed, the auto parts market has a low degree of restraint, and merchants are very free to choose between the auto parts market. The auto parts market has been painstakingly trying to retain businesses, and it is often time for managers to take care of them. This also lays a hidden danger for whether or not to abide by the law.
