秦怡Shrinking Volume, Clearing Out, and the Rule of Three and Four
Liu Chunxiong has been saying that the macro environment is poor, with shrinking volumes across industries and widespread anxiety over involution.

The Rule of Three and Four states that in a stable market, there are no more than three influential competitors, and the largest market share is no more than four times the smallest. Brand owners in various industries have long conformed to the oligopolistic state of the Rule of Three and Four, driven by the channel revolution of deep distribution. Distributors and retailers will next conform to the Rule of Three and Four, driven by the supply chain revolution.
