1. Moutai plans to increase the proportion of e-commerce to 60% of the price is not equal to lure scalpers to stock up on goods
In order to reshape sales channels, Moutai hopes to gradually increase the proportion of online sales from the current 30% to 60%, which is still in the research stage. Before this, First Financial News just exclusively reported that more than 200,000 bottles of Moutai used to stabilize market prices and alleviate supply and demand contradictions were mostly snatched away by scalpers, and speculators hoarded for the rise. In this regard, Dong Baozhen, a well-known Moutai investor in the private equity industry, pointed out on his Weibo that the reason why Moutai’s price is out of control is that there is a problem with Moutai’s channel structure. Moutai should control channels and retail prices, and use e-commerce as the main one to replace the old model of physical stores as the main one. (Source: First Financial Daily (Shanghai))
