Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people have the economic foundation to buy a private car, which can be seen from the increasingly congested roads. Now many cities have begun to build viaducts to alleviate traffic pressure. The increase in vehicles has naturally led to the development of other industries, such as the auto repair industry, car wash maintenance shops and gas stations. The gas stations here are naturally the most profitable, but there is also a fierce competitive relationship between the gas stations, mainly divided into state-run gas stations and private gas stations. Compared with the state-run, the private sector is certainly not so popular, which is why we often see private gas stations launch some activities to attract popularity.
Private gas stations are cheap and also give gifts
Often the oil price of private gas stations is cheaper than that of state-run gas stations, and even so, many people still choose state-run gas stations, only because in their opinion, state-run gas stations are more reassuring than private ones, and the quality should be better. Because the state-owned company itself does not have to worry about business problems, it is relatively single, there are not so many fancy things, generally that is, to refuel the car, and rarely provide car washing and delivery services.
Private gas stations are privately contracted to operate, the price of oil here is relatively cheap, and there will be additional gifts, such as refueling to a certain amount, you can get some things such as oil, facial paper and mineral water, and at the same time, the recharged money will also be credited. These points reach a certain amount and can be used for free car washes.
Are private gas stations not afraid of losing money?
Many people are curious, private gas stations are not only cheap in oil, but also send other gifts, are they not afraid of losing money? In fact, the oil price of private enterprises is not high, because they themselves will choose some refineries that are relatively close, and their own demand is not as large as that of the state, and naturally the scale of the refinery is not so large. And the road is relatively close, the distance required for natural transportation is not very long, which can save a lot of transportation costs. At the same time, because the private enterprise is small, it is generally enough for the husband and wife to find 2 more employees, and the manpower is not as much as the state-run gas station needs, so the labor cost is also saved.
Private gas stations themselves are not as popular as state-run gas stations, naturally need to find other ways to improve their competitiveness, just rely on the advantage of price is not enough, in the service and send some small favors, so that more people are attracted over. At the same time, these private enterprises will also open a small supermarket at the gas station, which also has various things to sell. When these cars come to refuel and wash their cars, they can go to the supermarket to buy things, which can be described as a multiplicity, and once again expand their business. Although private gas stations do not make as much money as state-run gas stations, they are still relatively profitable, otherwise there would not be so many people rushing to open gas stations.
The days of lying and earning are over
Now the pressure on private gas stations has become increasing, the era of "lying and earning" has passed, and now there are more foreign gas stations that want to enter China to divide this market. Seeing that China's automobile scale is getting bigger and bigger, companies in these countries are naturally excited and want to get a piece of it. In addition, there is the emergence of new energy vehicles now, and the state has vigorously supported new energy vehicles, which means that there will be fewer cars using oil in the future, and naturally there will be less money than before. But even so, gas stations can still make a lot of money, after all, cars that use gasoline can't be eliminated so quickly, but the money is not as exaggerated as before.
