New DistributionBig Companies Make You Grow; Small Companies Make You Mature
There is a saying in the workplace: entering a big company makes you grow and learn. Big companies have standardized systems, SOPs, experienced leaders, training, and rotation programs, allowing newcomers to acquire operational skills within 2-3 years. However, as you rise to middle or senior management, the real growth driver comes from interacting with various vendors (agencies) as a client. Only by being a 'good customer' can you reduce risks and truly benefit from these partnerships. Conversely, small companies, with their unstable business and constant pressure, force you to mature, as they teach you resilience, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of human nature and market dynamics.

彭小六“Tricked” Without Negotiation: An Overview of Manufacturers' “Trickery”
In casual chats with distributors, one often hears that business is getting harder. The days when distributors could act like “bosses” in front of manufacturers are long gone. When selecting brands and products, they must keep their eyes wide open, or they may end up wasting time and money, like “losing both the wife and the army.” Nevertheless, many distributors, who became wealthy in the 1980s and 1990s through courage and opportunity, still cling to past glories in the 21st century. When dealing with manufacturers armed with new ideas, they often react passively, and some even fall into traps set by unscrupulous manufacturers (especially in the liquor industry, where new brands and tricksters abound each year), ending up like ST stocks with little hope of recovery. To help more distributors avoid these pitfalls, the author analyzes various manufacturers' tricks for reference.
唐江华In-Depth Analysis: From Marketing to Distribution, How Wrigley's Doublemint Sold 100 Million Boxes of a Single Product?
In the spring of 1891, William Wrigley Jr., founder of Wrigley, came to Chicago to do business. He gave away two sticks of gum with each can of baking soda, and found gum was very popular. So he commissioned the Zeno Manufacturing Company in Chicago to produce gum, and bought the factory in 1911. From 1914, Wrigley products entered China from factories in Chicago and Australia. During World War II, Wrigley gum became a military supply for the U.S. armed forces, temporarily leaving the civilian market and also leaving mainland China. It was not until 1981 that Wrigley cooperated with China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Import and Export Corporation to supply 'foreign-related places' and Friendship Stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Dalian and Xiamen, marking the beginning of Wrigley's 'return' to the Chinese market.

崔自三How Laocunzhang Achieved 6 Billion in Sales with a Bare-Bones Bottle of Baijiu
Laocunzhang, another industry anomaly in the era of mass-market liquor besides Niulanshan, is not a listed company, making it less likely to be noticed and exploited by the keen-eyed capital market early on. 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 might be astronomical. Considering factors such as reasonable avoidance of low-end liquor tax burdens, authorized remote bottling, and sales discounts, several industry experts speculate that actual shipment sales might be close to 6 billion yuan, a figure not confirmed by the manufacturer.
