What do you mean like the enemy?

"Tourism is the enemy" is a folk proverb in China, which is often used to explain the hostility between some businesses. But in fact, this situation is very rare in the business world. Most mature enterprises, even those that cut their throats, often support each other and grow together.

Walking on the same street is mostly a civilized competition, and it is rarely publicly slandered, so it can coexist peacefully.

Walking along the same street can strongly attract customers, especially those from rural areas. The reason is often that a shop is doing well, and other shops nearby will compete. For the convenience of shopping, customers are generally willing to buy in the same street and can "shop around".

Relevant explanation

As the saying goes, "peers are like enemy countries" and "peers have three points of hatred". Peers should be as far away from each other as possible. However, in Dongguan, the same street prevails. For example, the streets in the middle of Dalang Town are selling Chinese fir, and the Haogang market in the attached city is made of Zheng Dan paper.

Dongguan city is even more prominent. There are Maima Street, Zhuzai Street, celery pond, papermaking land, Wenfang Street, Bud Lane, Kuiyi Street, Zhupai Street, Leather Shoes Lane and Tea Oil Lane, all of which are the same street and are named after the industry. After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the wholesale store was located in Zhongxing Road. Since the reform and opening up, Weixin Road in the urban area has become a street of self-employed clothing, and Xia Bo has a street of individual fruit wholesale.
