The cold air came to buy more quilts.

In December 6th, a strong cold air arrived in Guangdong, bringing a more obvious cooling process to Kaiping from north to south, and the lowest temperature dropped to around 9 degrees Celsius.

Since December 14th, another cold air has struck and the lowest temperature has dropped to 5 degrees Celsius.

During the whole of November, the weather in Kaiping was mainly sunny. With the advent of cold air, the cold wind and cold rain made people feel the real cold in winter, and the "warm economy" which had once been depressed had a slight lift.

I have visited some recently.

"Those days when the cold air came, the number of people who bought quilts increased significantly, and the number of people in the shop was much higher than before."

Wu Sihua, director of Kaiping fuanna art home textile, told the author that compared with the same period last year,

Wang Zhongning, a manager of Casa Tianjiao home textile, told the author: "compared with the past climate, I think this year's temperature change is very similar to that of 2007.

In January of that year, several strong cold air descended southward, and the temperature dropped to a very low level. Maybe this year it will be the same. It will not really cool down until next January. "

Wang Zhongning told me that the two cold air coming this month has ushered in a lot of traffic for the store, and customers are mainly Buying winter quilt.

Businessmen generally say that from the perspective of materials, the winter made of wool, feather, cotton and soybean fiber is more popular with consumers in the market, and customers who like to buy Cotton packages are also few.

However, some businessmen believe that the advent of cold air has not changed much for the market.

Tan Weikang, manager of Sui Bao mattress store, said that in this year's whole home textile market is not very prosperous environment, the short term buying fever caused by cold air is not normal.

"The effect of a cold air coming down last month is quite obvious. This temperature dropped even though it was relatively low, but the increase in the number of people did not last much."

Tan Weikang said.

Prices are not hot, and businesses dare not mention prices.

Apart from the natural factor of warm weather, which restricts the warming of the "warm economy", businesses are also faced with the perplexing problem of rising prices.

In the sound of "rising", the "warm economy" is showing a warm and mild situation.

In the home textile market, businesses have said that the price of raw materials has risen sharply, the highest increase has reached 130%, of which cotton prices have risen by 20%-25%.

"This year, the price of cotton is indeed rising. There are reports everywhere."

Kaiping fuanna art home textile manager Wu Sihua said that after the price of raw materials rose, the price of home textile products will also be adjusted accordingly.

Although the prices of raw materials and goods have risen, businessmen are cautious about the rise in the price of goods sold.

"According to the current market situation, how dare we raise prices arbitrarily?" Tan Weikang, manager of Sui Bao mattress store, said that in order to ensure market share, prices will not rise easily.

Wang Zhongning, director of home textiles of Casa Tianjiao, told the author that in order to spread the commodities to the market, the selling price of commodities will not rise substantially under the condition of rising raw material prices, and some commodities will even offer preferential discounts.

In the interview, businessmen insisted that they did not raise their prices, but also revealed their frustration and pressure under the compression of profit space.
