孙中学The Secret Behind a Bottle of Guangping Wine Selling 6 Billion Yuan a Year...

Its selling price is even lower than Niulanshan, and it is regarded as an un-copyable outlier by most mainstream enterprises in this industry that pay taxes in a standardized manner. However, after multiple verifications, Weijiu speculates that its actual sales may be astronomical. Considering multiple factors such as reasonable avoidance of low-end liquor tax burden, authorized remote bottling, and sales discounts, many industry experts speculate that the actual shipment sales may be close to 6 billion yuan, but this data has not been confirmed by the manufacturer.
