"Seize it and you seize the money bag. Today's Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market has complete functions, a prosperous market, a business environment that is improving rapidly, and sustained strong development momentum," said Guo Qijiang, Director of the Feicheng Material and Commercial Promotion Center.

　　Walking into the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market in Feicheng, rows of neatly arranged multi-span steel-structure sheds, a spacious and bright shopping environment, and clearly defined zoning are refreshing to the eye. As an enterprise directly under the Feicheng Material and Commercial Promotion Center, the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market is currently the largest specialized comprehensive building materials market in Feicheng, with annual transactions of about 700 million yuan.

　　In the early days of reform and opening up, whenever materials and commerce were mentioned, everyone was filled with envy. Having weathered the storms of reform and the changes of the times, the vast material and commercial system has withstood the wind and waves and the test of time with fortitude.

　　In April 2021, the Feicheng Material and Commercial Promotion Center formed a new leadership team, tasked with guiding the material and commercial system's non-public enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and public institutions in Party building, discipline inspection and supervision, spiritual civilization development, Party conduct and clean government building, and work safety, among other main responsibilities. It was also in this year that the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market underwent earth-shaking changes.

　　After the new team was formed, during a survey visit to the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market, they found that when the building materials market moved to the Yiyang Park in 2012, the main structure of the metal cargo sheds built by the developer was inherently deficient, and the foam sandwich panels used as the main material posed serious safety hazards. Although it had been operating for many years, it had no fire safety acceptance inspection and faced the prospect of being shut down at any time.

　　"At that time, the building materials market was like a child born without an ID card, liable to be sealed off and shut down at any moment. How to effectively preserve and increase the value of state-owned enterprise assets and make them play a greater role in economic development became an urgent problem for the Material and Commercial Center at the time," Guo Qijiang said.

　　To resolve the development bottleneck of the building materials market, the Material and Commercial Promotion Center actively raised funds and, starting in May 2021, carried out a comprehensive renovation and upgrade of the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market.

　　"Through strict bidding procedures, with a total investment of more than 10 million yuan, we carried out fire safety renovations on 12 sheds in the market in three phases. After more than a year of construction, the fire safety renovation project for the entire market was fully completed, the market took on a completely new look, and it successfully passed the fire safety acceptance inspection," said Qiao Honghua, Manager of the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market.

　　At the same time, to thoroughly resolve disputes over water and electricity and the difficulties of management, the Material and Commercial Center invested more than 100,000 yuan to achieve intelligent property management, becoming a first in Feicheng; in terms of fire facility renovation, it invested more than 200,000 yuan to repair and replace firefighting and emergency facilities, and successfully passed acceptance inspection.

　　At present, the upgraded building materials market has comprehensively improved its infrastructure and management level, creating a clean and tidy, fully functional, and prosperous consumer environment, enhancing both its "appearance" and its "substance."

　　Not only has it made great efforts in the management and service of state-owned enterprises, but private enterprises under the Material and Commercial Promotion Center have also gained broader room for development. Binhe Property Management Co., Ltd. is a vivid example of the Center's efforts to develop and strengthen private enterprises.

　　Binhe Property Management Company, located just across the road from the Luxi Building Materials Wholesale Market, has built a new 7,000-square-meter Fuqiang Business Center as a supporting facility project to enhance the overall area of the Luxi Building Materials Market. Construction of the center began in April 2022 and it was put into use in just 8 months. Currently, the center's leasing utilization rate has reached 85 percent.

　　Zhenruyi Hotel, located opposite the Feicheng Bus Station, has been operating in Feicheng for nearly 20 years, with Binhe Property Management responsible for its daily management and maintenance. Because the hotel's main building was constructed long ago, its water, electricity, fire safety, and other infrastructure are outdated and in urgent need of renovation. Upon learning of this, Binhe Property Management contacted the hotel immediately, voluntarily bore part of the infrastructure renovation costs, and engaged professional institutions to inspect and verify the installation of elevators. This move surprised the hotel, which then decisively carried out a comprehensive renovation and voluntarily extended its lease.

　　Neatly aligned parking spaces, clean and tidy asphalt roads... Walking into the Material East District Residential Compound, this old community built in the 1990s is radiating new vitality everywhere.

　　Due to its age, the Material East District Residential Compound had developed problems to varying degrees such as peeling exterior walls, damaged roads, and blocked sewage pipes, and its living support facilities were also gradually aging, bringing considerable inconvenience to residents' lives.

　　To enhance and improve the residential functions of old communities and improve the community environment, Binhe Property Management actively sought old community renovation policies and continuously accelerated the pace of renovation, giving old communities "a new look" and bringing residents a full sense of happiness and security.

　　"The material and commercial system has many people, many matters, and a large scope, and everything, down to the smallest detail, must be done well. This is our firm political stance and the mission and responsibility we shoulder." Despite the storms of reform and the changes of the times, they have not faded; they still stand bravely at the forefront, using new achievements to drive new progress in Feicheng's high-quality economic development.
