The total retail sales of consumer goods in 2021, Suzhou ranked first in Jiangsu Province with 903.13 billion yuan, followed by Nanjing with 789.941 billion yuan, Xuzhou ranked third with 403.802 billion yuan.
In the Qipu data, Xuzhou has a permanent population of 9.084 million. As a large population city, Xuzhou has inherent advantages in total social consumption.
In addition, Xuzhou is the central city in the Huaihai area. Although it is not a provincial capital, it exists like a provincial capital in the eyes of surrounding cities. Therefore, it has also siphoned a lot of consumption and increased its own total social consumption.
Deji chose Xuzhou, which was the result of careful consideration.
Deji fully considered Xuzhou's future urban development level. In August 2021, the "Jiangsu Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" Consumption Promotion Plan" was officially issued, which is a key special plan for Jiangsu Province to promote consumption. It mentioned that it supports Nanjing, Suzhou, Xuzhou, , Wuxi, and to build an international consumption center city.
There is already Henglong Plaza in Wuxi, Suzhou now has Meiluo, and Central Plaza has also been landed. In the case of Jinji Lake circle, many future luxury shopping centers are reserved. Deji avoids the fiercely competitive southern Jiangsu and chooses the central city of Huaihai and the sub-center city of in Xuzhou. It is obviously a wise and reasonable choice.
