Why can cigarette, wine and tea shops that few people patronize continue to operate?

In Shenzhen for many years, I have seen that tobacco, tea and wine shops in many places have never had customers, but those old faces drink tea every day and don't know what business to do. If you really want to make money, you can only make a living by retail and group buying from the sales model, and the better the business, the better the group buying behind the store. Think about it. How many people go to the store to buy it? They deliver goods directly to the door by phone, put them in the trunk in advance or send them directly to the hotel. So many stores don't have many customers, but their business is good. We once had a dealer who didn't open the door when all retail outlets were in the peak period and didn't want to bother to make that little money. It's no problem to earn millions a year just by group buying, and all the food shops have gone to public relations, you know.

Tobacco, alcohol and tea are very expensive to open, and it is difficult to get rid of unsalable products for a while. Say cigarettes first. Tobacco is a monopoly product, which is monopolized by the Tobacco Monopoly Bureau. To run a tobacco monopoly liquor, you need a distance of 100 meters, and order 20,000 yuan cigarettes at one time. Most of these cigarettes are unsalable products from tobacco companies. For those who open a shop for the first time, one is that they don't understand the market, and the other is out of helplessness. Ordering cigarettes online every Monday, bank transfer, there are not many cigarettes that can be sold, so be sure to get the cigarettes that can't be sold quickly. In this way, there are always unsold cigarettes every month, such as Huangshan, Baisha, Huangguoshu and other large items (50 cigarettes each), which cost 5.5o yuan a pack. These cigarettes are rarely smoked at ordinary times, and there is no need for weddings and funerals. For many years, there are dozens. How much will it cost? I have to stick to it and see if I can sell some.

There are many brands and varieties of wine, and talents have a choice. Wholesalers of alcohol, such as bicycles, will not pay much for liquor, because wineries want you to sell their goods, but generally they will not transport tobacco as fast as they do. Most of them don't need cash to buy them how much money in the next replenishment, and most of them will give merchants a certain exhibition fee every month if they don't sell much.

The profit of tea will be great! ! I guess you don't believe me either. Generally, cigarette shops sell more than 200 yuan of tea, but in the wholesale market, they only buy about 100 yuan. The purchase price will definitely not exceed 50, because the situation varies from place to place. This is a conservative estimate. Generally speaking, the retail price of tea (I mean small tobacco, alcohol and sugar tea shops) is five times the purchase price of merchants. The beginning is the beginning! ! So it seems that no one goes in and buys two a day, and he makes a lot of money, because my family lives in Chabo City, I know.

It seems to be an illusion that tobacco hotels don't make money, and business is not necessarily good when people come and go. Many shops look lively, but they don't necessarily earn much business. Some shops seem to have no guests, and some shops are just a small counter, but every month people deliver goods to several containers around the world. One can't judge a person by his appearance, and the sea water is immeasurable. Many times what he sees is not true.
