Recently, the Yiyang County urban management team in Jiangxi Province demarcated more than 100 stalls on the sidewalks and municipal roads in the urban area, and organized a competitive auction rental for vendors who operate on the road. The highest bidder wins and will be issued a certificate for legal operation. In the end, the urban management department collected nearly 140,000 yuan of competitive auction rental funds from 69 stalls under the name of "city road occupation and excavation fee". Facing doubts, Shu Yiming, deputy director of Yiyang Urban Management Bureau expressed: "This is also an experience learned from the brother counties and cities of Shangrao." Shu Yiming emphasized, "This move is to take care of the vulnerable groups, while making the whole city clean and hygienic." "The nearly 140,000 yuan from the auction all went into the treasury, we did not keep a single cent". (People's Daily, May 13)
