| such kind of open markets are very common in China. They are quite different from the outlets in Europe or in North America. Most likely those brand-name you will buy in Xuishui Str. or Xiangyang Rd. are faked items. I don't agree that goods there are in good quality.and i doubt that many consumers go there for the quality. Price is a big temptation !!! maybe vanity drives as well. I myself went Xiou shu jie in BJ serveral years ago with full curiosity and liked to try my luck. but I came back empty-handed and disppointed. Shopowners were mainly selling brand tags instead of the clothes as a whole. The pure silk products there were out of style,ugly and not cheap, either. Additionally, the time you spend in picking up a bearable one , then bargaining with a foxy salesperson is not worthy. I personally believe good quality deserves a good price. if I can not afford a brand-name,I wouldn't bother to take a faked one. what's it for? For many years, brand management is always a big challenge to many serious businesspersons in China,because they have to spend a lot of time and money to fight against the faked goods and the markets like that. What's the reason behind? |
