Isn't it more face-saving to go back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year and have a mouthful of Moutai and a mouthful of Huazi? But do you know that a pack of soft Chinese that sells for 70 or 80 yuan is sold for only 20 yuan in Japan. Why is it that Chinese cigarettes are exported so cheaply to the Japanese but sold so expensive at home? Is it because they are using Chinese smokers' money to subsidize the Japanese? What is even more speechless is that Moutai, which sells two or three thousand in China, only costs more than 600 in Japanese duty-free shops? The real reason behind this is worth pondering?
How much is the cost price of a pack of soft China priced at 70 yuan? The answer is about 13 yuan. Who has made such a big difference?
Usually, the price of cigarette retail outlets is 58 yuan, and then the price is 70, which means that selling a pack of cigarettes earns 12 yuan. In addition to paying about 10 yuan in taxes, the tobacco company also has to make a profit of 10 yuan, so the price at which the tobacco company takes goods from the cigarette factory is less than 40 yuan. The cigarette factory sells a pack of cigarettes for 40 yuan, which includes 25 yuan of principal and profit tax, that is, its production cost is actually only about 13 yuan. This is understandable, it is more reasonable for Chinese cigarettes to be sold for 20 yuan a pack in Japan. So why do we have to pay for a high price?
Is this cutting leeks in the country? A pack of soft Chinese that sells for 70 or 80 yuan is only 20 yuan in Japan, and Moutai, which usually sells for 2,000 or 3,000 yuan in China, is only sold for 600 yuan in Japanese duty-free shops. Is it a special pit for Chinese's money?
Not really. Taking cigarettes as an example, the mainland has very strict control over cigarettes, and the number of smokers is too large, so in order to prevent excessive smoking from harming the health of the people, a policy of high taxes has been adopted. You heard it right, it's expensive to get you to take a little less. The production cost of a pack of soft China is only 13 yuan, and it is finally sold for 70 or 80 yuan a pack, which accounts for more than half of the tax amount. In contrast, why is Japanese Chinese cigarette cheaper, because it is sold in duty-free shops, because there is no tax, and there are no layers of middlemen to increase the price, the selling price will naturally be much lower. So what's going on with Moutai?
In order to boost China's economy and increase exports, there are tax rebates or subsidies for export goods, which allows companies to sell export goods at low prices, resulting in domestic products appearing cheaper abroad.
But I have to ask, is the taste and quality of the soft China sold at 20 yuan a pack and Moutai at 600 yuan a bottle in Japan really the same as in China?
When you see a 20 yuan pack of soft China and a 600 yuan bottle of Moutai in a Japanese duty-free shop, do you dare to buy them? Are the quality of these cheap products the same as those sold in China?
You get what you pay for, and the high-priced Chinese sold in China is significantly different from the exported Chinese in terms of packaging, raw materials and taste, and it is not the same in different countries. The domestic Huazi uses domestic tobacco, which has a mellow and long taste, which is in line with the taste of Chinese smokers, while the Huazi exported abroad uses their local tobacco leaves, and there is a significant difference in taste. Therefore, it can be seen that there are many versions of the Chinese Tobacco Club, and theoretically the domestic one is the best.
The same is true of Moutai, the domestic 53 degrees Feitian Moutai is a typical sauce-flavored liquor, rich in taste and rich experience, and the export of Moutai in order to cater to foreign consumers, not only the alcohol content is adjusted to a soft 42 degrees, but also with some flower and fruit fragrance, the taste is also sweeter, the taste of liquor is not pure, although the taste varies from person to person, but the Chinese people still prefer the domestic version, because the high degree is suitable for collection, the longer the time is stored, the better it tastes, and the low degree is not suitable for preservation, and the flavor will be greatly discounted after a long time. If it were you, would you dare to buy the 600 yuan export version of Moutai?
I still want to remind you that smoking is harmful to your health, drink alcohol and do what you can, and the New Year is approaching, Brother Pop wishes you good luck in the New Year.
