Cracking down on factory rent speculation has had good results

Since 2018, the phenomenon of Dongguan second-hand landlords speculating on industrial factory rents has attracted attention. Some citizens reported that the Liaobu Town Huangjialang Economic Cooperative transferred a factory building to an intermediary company at a high price through the Dongguan City Collective Assets Online Trading Platform. This matter immediately attracted the attention of the Dongguan Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau. In this regard, Ou Daqiang, chief of the Rural Cooperative Economic Guidance Section of the Dongguan Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, said that the current relevant documents for collective asset transactions in Dongguan do not explicitly prohibit intermediary companies from participating in collective asset bidding. Whether to prohibit them from participating in bidding is left to the owner's discretion. The phenomenon of intermediary companies participating in bidding on trading platforms is a normal market economy behavior. Therefore, Ou Daqiang said: "There is no problem with this transaction in terms of policy or verification results."

Zhang Yongzhong said that this matter involves a suspected "second-hand landlord" issue. In the first half of last year, , second-hand landlords have increased the rents of industrial plants and become a hot topic. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to it and have led relevant departments to study how to crack down on malicious speculation of high factory rents. At the end of last year, the municipal government issued relevant guidance documents, which clarified that all collective asset transactions must be conducted online on the municipal collective asset trading platform, and relevant transaction procedures were developed, etc., in order to combat the malicious speculation of factory buildings by second-hand landlords. "From the time the document was issued last year to now, the overall rent of industrial plants has stabilized or even declined somewhat. The effect of the introduction and implementation of the policy is still good. However, it is not ruled out that there may be malicious speculation of industrial plants."

Finally, Yuan Runping, deputy director of the Dongguan Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, also responded to citizens’ concerns about the quality and safety of agricultural products. Data show that as of the end of May, 270,000 vegetable samples, 250,000 slaughtered meat samples, and 2,600 aquatic product samples have been randomly inspected at the municipal and town levels. The qualified rate of qualitative testing has reached 99.5; the comprehensive testing rate of major agricultural products in quantitative testing has reached 98.8, meeting the provincial and municipal task target requirements.
