Let's talk about the fire at the Dehui Mall in Xinjiang.

The main business of Dehui is to do wholesale market around Urumqi train station. There are a large number of comprehensive markets concentrated in this area, which is also a gathering place for businessmen from southern China. In Urumqi, some well-known brands of consumer goods are basically monopolized by a few big figures in the market. The upstream control of clothing and footwear is all concentrated in the hands of these people. Relying on strong financial strength, they have exclusive agency for regional operating rights of multiple well-known products, and many local distributors are connected below them, reaping huge profits. If you take a walk around Dehui shops, you will find that out of 10 shops, 9 are likely to be southern merchants, while most of the buyers are local people from Xinjiang and bearded people from Central Asian countries who come to purchase Chinese goods. They follow the traditions left by their ancestors from southern merchants, using family as a unit and townspeople as a link, entangled here for years, gradually forming a force, expanding their territory, and building taller buildings.
