The Zhuozhou Temple Fair in Hebei Province has been held for 9 times so far, and each temple fair has attracted many merchants from Beijing. About 60 Beijing businessmen participated in this year. Mr. Liu, a merchant in Beijing, said that he had received the investment promotion leaflet of the temple fair for two consecutive years. Because of the low booth fee and the influence of the temple fair for many years, he should be invited to participate in this year to operate toy products. He didn't sign the contract but got a receipt after paying the 200 yuan deposit in the investment promotion office of the temple fair. "The other party said that there was an office at the scene to collect booth fees." .
Not long ago, Mr. Liu came to Jiaxiu Road, Zhuozhou City, where the temple fair was held, and saw the sign at the reception desk of the temple fair standing on the site. Mr. Liu said that the day before yesterday, at the reception desk, merchants from all walks of life who brought goods to the temple fair told each other that "the temple fair may be cancelled", but the organizer's staff said that they were coordinating and there were still merchants paying the deposit on the spot. He decided to wait and see. "I stayed there for half an hour, and twenty or thirty people came to pay." However, around 1 1 last night, merchants received text messages one after another, saying that the temple fair had been confirmed to be cancelled.
Yesterday morning, many merchants came to Jiaxiu Road again and found that the signboard of the reception desk had been removed. Then dozens of Beijing businessmen went to the Zhuozhou municipal government to discuss their views and file claims. Mr. Liu said that in order to attend the temple fair, he lost more than 10 thousand yuan in purchase, accommodation and transportation. "Losing a little, the worst thing is selling vegetables."
The organizer promised to refund the deposit.
The organizer of Zhuozhou Temple Fair is Beijing Jetta Xingye Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jetta Company). A person in charge of the company surnamed Feng said that Zhuozhou Temple Fair has been hosted by the company. In order to hold this temple fair, they signed a contract with Law Enforcement Team 1 of Zhuozhou Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau on June 30, 2009. At the beginning of February, Mr. Feng received a phone call from Zhuozhou Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau, claiming that Zhuozhou Temple Fair had been cancelled due to a vicious case in Zhuozhou, in order to ensure the safety of citizens.
Mr. Feng said that he has been consulting with Zhuozhou municipal government since then, but he did not receive any written notice until yesterday. He only told the merchants that he would try his best to coordinate, but did not promise that the temple fair would definitely be held. The day before yesterday, the municipal government insisted on canceling. He had no choice but to inform the merchants and promised to refund the deposit on the 25th.
Regarding the merchants' demand for compensation for losses, Mr. Feng said that the temple fair was cancelled by the Zhuozhou municipal government, and many merchants were ready to purchase goods after signing up. When told that the temple fair was cancelled, it had caused losses to the merchants. "We will try our best to coordinate with the Zhuozhou municipal government, but it is difficult for our family to pay so much money. We have complete procedures." He believes that Jeddah "should not bear any responsibility".
The official said that there was a long notice.
Yesterday, Zhuozhou Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau confirmed that a team of the bureau did sign a contract with Jetta. However, in view of the "security situation and the spirit of instructions from higher authorities" in Zhuozhou City, in order to reduce security risks, it was decided to cut crowd gathering activities and cancel Zhuozhou Temple Fair. On February 6th, Wang Xiaoming, deputy director of the bureau, made it clear to Jetta that the temple fair was cancelled, so Jetta had 17 days, which was enough to inform the merchants to avoid losses.
In the face of the merchants who discussed the argument, the relevant person in charge and staff of the Urban Management Bureau have been on the scene to appease everyone's emotions and said that they will coordinate and solve this matter.
