[Global Times reporter Zhang Guangzheng Aoki Liu Yupeng Chen Kang] A fierce and dazzling "diplomatic expulsion war" is being staged between Russia, the United States and its allies. Last weekend, the Czech Republic became the latest to join the war group, and it announced the expulsion of 18 Russian embassy staff. The Russian side immediately issued a warning: the Czech Republic knows what consequences this move will bring.

　　On the 17th, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced the expulsion of five Polish diplomats in retaliation for Poland’s expulsion of three Russian diplomats. On the same day, Russia and Ukraine also expelled a diplomat from each other. The day before, in retaliation for the new round of sanctions against the United States, Russia announced the expulsion of 10 American diplomats and put eight former and current senior American officials on the "blacklist". Originally, Russia and NATO have recently launched a tense game around the situation in Donbass, eastern Ukraine, and the situation is tense. This series of sudden and rare "diplomatic expulsion wars" not only stunned public opinion, but also added more hostility and uncertainty to the already tense confrontation between Russia and the West.

　　The United States and Britain support Czech action against Russia

　　"Prague knows the consequences of expelling Russian diplomats in the Czech Republic." Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova issued a stern warning to the Czech Republic last weekend, stressing that Moscow would not turn a blind eye to this "trick" of the Czech Republic. Agence France-Presse reported that Russia said on the 18th that it would respond to this "unprecedented" decision of the Czech Republic. The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, "We will take retaliatory measures to force provocative planners to understand their full responsibility for destroying the foundation of normal relations between the two countries". The statement believes that the Czech hostile action of expelling Russian diplomats is a continuation of its anti-Russian actions in recent years, from which we can see the figure of the United States. The statement accused the Czech Republic of "pleasing the United States."

　　The day before, the Czech government asked 18 Russian embassy staff to leave the country within 48 hours on the grounds that Russian intelligence personnel were suspected of participating in the 2014 Czech arsenal explosion. The Czech police also put two Russian citizens on the wanted list. Czech Prime Minister Babiche said at a news conference on the same day that Czech intelligence and security departments had "sufficient evidence" to suspect that Russian intelligence personnel were involved in the 2014 Czech arsenal explosion.

　　For the Czech practice, both the United States and Britain expressed their support. The US Embassy in the Czech Republic said that the United States stood with its staunch ally, the Czech Republic. "We appreciate their major actions to make Russia pay for its dangerous behavior." British Foreign Secretary Rab also expressed "full support" to the Czech Republic on the 18th. The Russian side firmly denied the allegations. Dzhabarov, the first vice chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council, said that such absurd accusations are obviously "nonsense", and the Russians have nothing to do to blow up the Czech ammunition depot? Russia has never regarded the Czech Republic as an enemy.

　　RIA Novosti reported on the 18th that slutsky, chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, said that the Czech Republic’s expulsion of Russian diplomats followed the anti-Russian policy of the United States, which was carefully planned, and the Czech Republic was following the anti-Russian steps of Washington. Belov, deputy director of the Institute of European Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the expulsion of Russian diplomats by the Czech Republic shows that the Czech Republic supports US sanctions against Russia. Earlier, Poland expelled Russian diplomats for the same purpose. Behind these events, the United States hopes to strengthen its anti-Russian line by coordinating its actions with the "western collective."

　　The Russian statement is not groundless, because it is a bit too "coincidence" to say that this series of intensive "diplomatic expulsion wars" are completely isolated from each other. On the 15th, US President Biden signed an executive order to impose a new round of sanctions on Russia on the grounds of "interfering in the US presidential election" and "launching cyber attacks", and announced the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats in the United States. On the same day, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced that three librarians of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw were listed as persona non grata.

　　Russia condemns American supporters as "vassals of the 21st century".

　　On the evening of 16th, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov announced a number of retaliatory measures in response to US sanctions. Russia decided to expel 10 American diplomats and blacklisted 8 current and former senior American officials, including US Attorney General Garland, National Intelligence Director Haynes and FBI Director Christopher Babers. Lavrov also suggested that the US ambassador to Russia return to China. In addition, Moscow decided to initiate procedures to abolish the stipulated agreement for American diplomats to travel in Russia, and will prohibit American diplomatic agencies in Russia from hiring Russian and third-country citizens.

　　Russia’s Kommersant newspaper said that the US ambassador to Russia was "suggested" to return to Washington for the first time since 1952. In fact, this is a bit like expelling the US ambassador, but it is certainly not an expulsion in the legal sense. At present, john sullivan, the US ambassador to Russia, refuses to return home. In this regard, Russian diplomatic sources said that Russia would "create conditions" for him so that he could not work effectively in Russia. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry made it clear that if the United States continues to impose anti-Russian sanctions, Russia will take more severe response measures.

　　In response to Poland’s practice, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 17th, announcing the expulsion of five Polish diplomats in retaliation. Itar-Tass said on the 17th that Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zacharova said that the Polish Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador to support the US sanctions against Russia, which showed that the decision was made not on the basis of facts, but on the basis of orders, indicating the immoral discipline of this group. "This is not unity, but a vassal of the 21st century". Bunjevic, an expert at the Russian-Polish Cooperation Institute, believes that the Polish government has demonstrated its Atlantic route, which complements the anti-Russian actions being implemented by the United States.

　　Ukraine also broke out in a "diplomatic expulsion war" with Russia. According to the Russian News Agency, the Russian Federal Security Service announced on the 17th that a consul of the Ukrainian Consulate General in St. Petersburg was detained by the Russian side on the 16th because he met with Russian citizens locally and received non-public information. Subsequently, Russia announced the expulsion of the diplomat. On the same day, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also announced the expulsion of a Russian diplomat, saying that the decision was a response to Russia’s provocation.

　　Britain will send warships to the Black Sea.

　　Regarding Biden’s call for face-to-face dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a third country while facing Russian sanctions, Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on the 17th that Biden’s policy toward Russia itself is very contradictory. Gabzov, director of the Institute of American and Canadian Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the sanctions policy complicated the meeting between the two presidents. Of course, there is still time to wait until summer. If mutual sanctions are suspended, the summit is still likely to be held.

　　However, for Ukraine, which is at the forefront of confrontation with Russia, the situation is much more urgent. "Kiev hopes to join NATO and get Germany’s support." According to the German newspaper Le Monde on Sunday, melnick, the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, appealed to Germany in an interview with the newspaper that Germany should help Ukraine to join NATO as soon as possible and unconditionally out of its historical responsibility to the Ukrainian people. A senior EU official told DPA that this is an "extremely worrying development" in view of Russia’s greatly increased military presence near the Russian-Ukrainian border. On the 17th, German Defense Minister Karrenbauer accused Russia of "directly and concretely" threatening European security.

　　French President Macron said in an interview with CBS on the 18th that the relationship between the West and Russia needs a "two-pronged strategy", which involves both dialogue and sanctions. "I don’t think sanctions are enough by themselves, but sanctions are part of the whole strategy". Macron said that he thought it necessary to "draw a clear red line" with Russia.

　　According to Sputnik news agency & radio’s report on 18th, slutsky, chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, said that in view of the recent "anti-Russia" incident, the possibility of Russia’s withdrawal from Council of Europe, especially the parliamentary assembly, could be discussed, and Russian leaders would make an appropriate decision in this regard.

　　When the situation is delicate and tense, Britain also comes to the fire. On the 18th, Itar-Tass reported that Britain planned to send a destroyer and a frigate to the Black Sea in May, in order to show its support to Ukraine against the background of tension on the Russian-Ukrainian border. Interestingly, before Britain announced its plan to send warships to the Black Sea, the United States reportedly just cancelled its plan to deploy two warships to the Black Sea.

　　No matter what abacus the United States and Britain are playing, Russia is obviously unmoved. Reuters said on the 17th that Russian military presence in the Black Sea was further strengthened at a time when tensions with Ukraine were fermenting. On the same day, two Russian warships and 15 small ships entered the Black Sea through the Bosporus Strait.

Road test: a powerful off-road vehicle

The new Tank 300 is an SUV made in China, aiming to compete with other off-road vehicles.

Great Wall Motor continues to reshape, and its new car may become one of the coolest SUVs this year. In fact, this car was sold last year, but now we have a chance to test drive. It doesn’t matter, as they say, many things happen!

Tank 300 is a hybrid off-road vehicle. Its shape is inspired by G Wagen, and it also incorporates the design of Ineos Grenadier. To be fair, when you build a chassis SUV and want to jump in the forest, you usually get this square proportion with a short overhang.

That’s okay, because it looks great. The horizontal marking of the headlight gives it a unique appearance, and the bright tone is of course eye-catching. Around the rear of the car is a vertical taillight, which looks great and fits closely with the spare tire installed on the back door.

The design of Tank 300 is familiar, but it is still unique among square off-road vehicles.

You may also have noticed the absolutely huge fender bell mouth and raised posture, indicating a truly omnipotent attitude. It is said that the ground clearance is 224 mm, the approach angle and departure angles are 33 degrees and 34 degrees respectively, and the wading depth is 700 mm. It has a low gear and a special crawling mode.

Under the orange paint is the same trapezoidal chassis platform as Cannon ute, with double wishbone suspension at the front and multi-link solid shaft at the back. It is surprisingly comfortable, and the back end benefits from the coil instead of. It absorbs all the impact, just like a vehicle with enough shock absorption stroke, and it won’t wander too much in the driveway.

Tank 300 adopts the same trapezoidal chassis platform as Cannon ute.

The car is also quiet, although the rubber facing the road does help in this regard. It also helps asphalt pavement to turn and resist the considerable weight change brought by soft suspension. The steering is also great, using a more traditional hydraulic/electric setting instead of a circulating ball. This makes the rotation and general use from stop to stop easier.

But the most interesting thing is what’s under the hood. This is the first off-road vehicle equipped with a real hybrid system that I drive-the 2.0-liter engine benefits from the motor in the gearbox, and the comprehensive output power is as high as 258kW/615Nm, which is very impressive.

This is enough for Tank 300 to easily accelerate to 100 km/h in less than eight seconds without consuming too much fuel. After a week of mixed driving, the fuel consumption I saw was 11.2 liters /100 kilometers. You can easily reduce the fuel consumption to less than 10 seconds. For a real four-wheel drive driver, this is not bad!

Yes, this is a hybrid car. The test fuel consumption is 11.2 liters /100 kilometers.

It can switch between electric power and gasoline power very seamlessly, but I noticed that after stepping on the full throttle, when I release the throttle, it often keeps power for one second. Most of the time, it’s completely fine.

Cross-country is also a good sport, and the all-wheel drive system and chassis are enough to meet the challenges of most people. It’s surprisingly comfortable to bump on the bumpy soil … Well, this feeling can only be said to be comfortable.

Even more annoying is the security system. It contains enough functions to get a five-star ANCAP security rating, but the digital assistant urgently needs to be lowered. It will tell you whether there is a turn, whether the cruise control is started, and remind you to pay attention to the road conditions and whether you are speeding for one or two kilometers. It just won’t shut up.

And various driving modes show that it is serious.

You can turn off many functions, but when you start the car, you need to do another set of things, and they are buried in various menus, which is very annoying.

The active lane keeping assist system (like, it can be started by pulling the cruise control lever twice quickly) works well, but it really wants to run alone, which is strange considering the neuroticism of other safety devices.

If you try to help the steering, it will immediately stop the assist, causing the steering wheel to shake a little when it is suddenly released, and the assistant will say that it no longer works.

The quality of the cabin is extremely high, although it has some design styles.

The cabin is very beautiful. It has a little Mercedes style, with turbine vents, imitation aluminum inserts and quilted parts on seats and door cards. This is the model. The standard kit includes electric driver’s seat, sunroof, daytime running lights, ambient lights, seven special off-road screens and cameras.

The Ultra is equipped with Nappa leather, heated/ventilated front seats, wireless phone charger, front differential lock, nine-speaker Infinity sound system and automatic parking function.

The back seat space is enough for adults to ride. Although the storage space of 400 liters when the seat is raised is not amazing, it can reach 1635 liters after folding, which is quite good. If you need to haul more things, it can also haul 2500 kilograms.

The space in the back row is spacious, but if necessary, the seats can be folded up to increase storage space.

If Great Wall Motor can introduce software updates to fix these annoying safety problems, then Tank 300 may become the first choice for economical off-road vehicles. In terms of mechanical properties, it is really great. Fortunately, software problems (in theory) can be fixed more easily.

But how does it compare with its competitors? Tank’s driving experience is definitely better than Wrangler’s, and it may be more fuel-efficient than the 3.6-liter V6 engine. It is difficult to surpass our cross-country ability. This question is best answered by someone who is more confident than me.

Tank is also cheaper. The upgraded 300 Ultra Hybrid costs only 61,990, while the entry-level Wrangler Night Eagle costs 89,990 Australian dollars. For really good things, Wrangler Rubicon sells for 99,990 Australian dollars. On the other hand, the Suzuki Jimny 5-Door, which has always been impressive but small in size, sells for only A $45,500 and is decorated with automatic two colors.

Tanks are happy to break through dirty things.

The gear lever looks like the arm of a robot, but it is obviously inspired by the aviation industry.

The software has a dedicated off-road screen built in.

The back row space is also good.

It looks beautiful and its price is much cheaper than its main competitors.

The aluminum interior is very beautiful.

Even if you encounter bumps on the road, Tank can provide a comfortable experience.

Huawei has a new car again, this time it’s Zunjie. At present, Huawei’s cooperation with Cyrus has the best sales volume, and it has cooperated with BAIC to enjoy the world. The typical representative is that it has cooperated with Chery in the intellectual world. The recently listed R7 belongs to the intellectual world, and the cooperation with Jianghuai is Zunjie.

Unlike the previous cars, Zunjie’s models are extremely highly positioned and have basically been marked with full-size luxury cars. At present, some netizens have taken spy photos of Zunjie’s first car. According to the photos, its size is very long, with obvious long front and short rear design, and from the size of the door and the distance of the tires, we can see that it is at least a model with similar size, that is, a full-size car. Combined with the photos taken before, we can see that its front face is very close to the four-sided design of Rolls-Royce and other models. This design is generally not low, and the aesthetics of young people generally will not reach this level, so there are more. Of course, the photo also has a perspective of opening the front cover, and it can be clearly seen that it uses a range extender, so it is also a structure with a high probability, which also has an inherent advantage for business reception.

As for the configuration, there is no doubt that it is mainly a relatively high-end domestic car at present. It will have basically all the configurations you can think of, and it will also give you some completely leapfrog configurations. Of course, Zunjie is a smart car selection business that cooperates with Huawei, so it must have better performance in smart driving. Due to the current news, it will be listed next year. Therefore, Huawei’s ADS 3.0 high-order intelligent driving scheme will definitely be used directly. In addition, as we mentioned earlier, his competitor is the D-class sedan of the traditional luxury car, so its price will far exceed that of S9, and it will probably reach the price range of 600,000 to 700,000.

If it is an advantage, then it is close to the entry 2.0T version of the traditional luxury car, and it has obvious advantages in configuration and performance. To say the disadvantage, that is, whether the first car in Zunjie can be recognized by high-end users seems to be in doubt. Judging from the first model exposed by Zunjie, Huawei’s smart car selection model is very perfect at present. It focuses on SUVs in the world, and it focuses on household SUVs. It focuses on executive-class cars or business cars in the world, while the intellectual world is biased towards sports, and Zunjie is obviously more high-end. Then, do netizens think that this kind of car in Zunjie can be compared with the traditional Mercedes-Benz S-Class? Compared with other domestic brands of high-end pure electric or plug-in extended-range cars, is it worth choosing?

1905 movie network news　Today, the first poster of the movie "Flying Life" directed by Han Han, which will be released on the first day of 2019, exposed the brand-new racing driver image of Shen Teng. Shen Teng, dressed in a white racing suit, jumped up and rushed to the camera, looking determined and seemingly domineering, but he was betrayed by the huge word "seeking sponsorship" on his chest, with a surprise contrast and a cold humor, which made people laugh.

This time, Shen Teng plays an "out-of-date car god" in the movie. Surprisingly, Shen Teng is actually a racing enthusiast in his private life. He not only has a racing driver’s license, a drifting certificate and a rally qualification certificate, but also studied racing under Han Han’s apprentice. What kind of sparks will collide between the two people with deep roots for the first time, which is quite expected.

　

I used to be handsome and rich, but now I’m too tired.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" Shen Teng Competition "Seeking Sponsorship"

Shen Teng, the "richest man in Xihong" who has just experienced a luxurious life, has transformed himself into Zhang Chi, a down-and-out racing driver in Flying Life. In the movie, Zhang Chi changed from the five-time champion of the car world to the fat uncle of fried rice. He was bent on fighting back from the Jedi and recreating his days of our lives, only to be severely hit in the face by reality, and there would be a series of unexpected dilemmas waiting for this out-of-date car god.

From the first poster exposed today, it can also be seen that Zhang Chi’s comeback in the movie is indeed full of twists and turns, with desolate racing lanes, worn and smoky racing cars, and most notably, his racing suit is impressively written with "seeking sponsorship" and a series of mobile phone numbers, which makes people sad and funny. The serious and funny style of painting is very consistent with Han Han’s consistent humorous style, and it also makes people more curious about the comeback of this out-of-date car god.

　

Become attached to Han Hanyin’s racing car.

Shen Teng revealed: If you don’t act, you may become a racing driver.

Previously, many netizens expressed great surprise at the setting of Shen Teng as a racing driver. Shen Teng and racing seem to have nothing in common, but unexpectedly, Shen Teng, who looks like a Buddhist, is actually a real racing enthusiast in private. He not only holds a racing driver’s license, a drift certificate and a rally qualification certificate, but also said in an interview that "he may become a racing driver if he doesn’t become an actor", which shows his love for racing.

What is even less well known is that Shen Teng has a deep relationship with Han Han in racing. It turns out that Shen Teng studied racing with Han Han’s apprentice in his early years. This time, the two people who are keen on comedy and racing will work together, which is bound to add enough horsepower to the punch line and ignition point of the film. In addition to Shen Teng, other movie stars also held racing training in succession, trying to show the professional side of the racing driver while showing joy, while Johnny, who also plays the top driver, entered the state more quickly and was praised by the coach as "having a good sense of car". This time in the movie, what kind of funny stories will be collided by several masters on the field, which is quite expected.

　

"Flying Life" is directed by Han Han, starring Shen Teng, Johnny, Andrew, YIN FANG, Tian Yu, Tengger singer, Zhao Wenxuan, Zhang Ben Yu and Liu Shuailiang, and will be released nationwide on the first day of 2019.

A letter of complaint revealed the true appearance of the hot water and corpses of the snack industry.

On December 6th, according to the report of Red Star Capital Bureau, the "No.1 high-end snack" boutique shop formally filed a lawsuit against Yichun Zhao Yiming Food Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhao Yiming Snacks") in the people’s court on November 27th on the grounds of "concealing important matters of the company and damaging the right to know of minority shareholders". At present, the court has accepted the case.

At this point, the first shot of high-end brand snack merchants and discount snack shops officially started.

According to earlier news, the competition between the two forces has long been revealed. By "concealing the company’s major events", Liangpin Store refers to the merger that happened at the discount snack track. In November this year, the two leading players of discount snacks were very busy and Zhao Yiming Snack Store announced the merger, which will jointly build the largest discount snack brand in China, and the industry power should not be underestimated.

However, Liangpin Store, as one of the shareholders of Zhao Yiming Snacks, was hastily "parted" by Zhao Yiming Snacks, but was informed of its merger with its competitors. A good shop that suffered from "backstab" went to war with a paper book.

The discount snack shop with "low price" as the spear has become the strongest force in the snack track and entered a period of rapid expansion. Snacks are very busy. In the first half of this year, 1,000 stores were added. Another snack brand, Youming, also announced that the number of stores will exceed 16,000 in 2026.

After the cost performance has become the key driving force of consumption, the outward expansion of discount snacks is also frequently putting pressure on high-end snacks, which have to fight back through structural price reduction. On November 30th, Liangpin Store implemented the largest price reduction in 17 years. The average price of its 300 products was reduced by 22%, with the highest drop of 45%. Online celebrity Snacks Three Squirrels has been playing the strategy of "high-end cost performance" since last year.

At one end, it is a snack shop that is expanding at a low price, and at the other end, it is a high-end snack brand that strives for survival at a low price. The snack track with accelerating low-price competition is facing a brand-new battle of survival torture.

01 Online channel dividend peaked, and high-end strategy failed.

The well-known snack brands in online celebrity, such as the "Big Three Snacks" represented by "Good Shop", "Three Squirrels" and "Herb Flavor", either started during the bonus period of e-commerce or took advantage of the outlet of entertainment marketing to describe a similar development vein.

Three squirrels, born in the period of rapid development of e-commerce, have sprung up with low-cost online e-commerce channels and quickly occupied the category of nut snacks. Subsequently, the three squirrels used entertainment marketing as a lever, including signing TFBOYS endorsement, launching and implanting in the annual explosion of "Ode to Joy" and other film and television comprehensive, further amplifying the brand influence.

Since 2010, the investment in online marketing has also increased year by year. On the one hand, Baicaowei’s efforts in spokesperson marketing and popular film and television comprehensive delivery are not far behind. From official announcement of Jackson Yee to cross-border variety shows, it takes advantage of the entertainment topic to enhance brand awareness; On the other hand, Baicaowei has also begun to build a communication position on social platforms, and has been deeply cultivating its content on younger social platforms such as bilibili and Xiaohongshu.

While effectively opening up the brand volume, marketing investment has also brought some pressure on product pricing. Coupled with the pursuit of fine packaging and design, under the superposition of various factors, snack brands that once opened the online market at a low price began to anchor the "high-end upgrade" route, and prices also rose with the trend.

Until 2021, with the peak of online traffic, several snack brands on the deep cultivation line were in trouble one after another.

On the one hand, the cost of online traffic has soared, and the conversion effect is no longer radical. Snack brands nourished by online channels are naturally the first to bear the brunt. According to the financial report data, the performance of the three squirrels has declined year after year. In the third quarter of this year, the revenue of the good shop decreased by 4.53% and the net profit decreased by 98%.

A snack brand revealed to the chopped pepper that, in fact, double 11’s big promotion is often "making money at a loss" for the brand, and there is not much room for profit. The real appeal of the brand’s painstaking efforts is actually the list recommendation mechanism in Taobao Station, with the help of list traffic to store water for the subsequent New Year Festival. Leisure snacks are cyclical products, and the profits of the three giants who position high-end snacks often come from the demand stimulation of big nodes.

On the other hand, the vertical snack brand, which emerged from the live e-commerce, successfully divided the market share with the logic of big single product and launched an attack on the good shops. Wang Xiaolu, with a tiger skin wind claw, sold out all the goods for the New Year Festival when she first boarded the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi. Since then, she has become a frequent visitor to the live broadcast room. Wei Long, relying on a 50-cent spicy bar, frequently went out of the circle and occupied the snack list of consumers’ daily life scenes.

Contrary to the logic of big single products, it is the whole category snack brand represented by good shops. This kind of brand is rich in SKUs, trying to meet the diverse purchasing needs of consumers and better matching the strong demand for holiday gifts, but it is difficult to enter the normal consumption scene.

At the same time, the operation mode of the snack giant OEM has also laid a lot of hidden dangers for it. The snack brand with OEM as its main logic failed to build a perfect supply chain system, which not only lost the control of product quality, but also further lost its core competitiveness.

02 The offline channel is flourishing, and the horse race is threatening.

Different from the micro-situation of online channels, offline channels began to release vitality.

During the three years of the epidemic, the closing tide of large supermarkets and shops won a better opening point for snack supermarkets, further releasing the offline consumption power. According to Euromonitor statistics, the market size of the snack food industry reached 482.3 billion in 2022, and the e-commerce channel has developed rapidly since 2012. However, the offline market is still the main channel for the circulation of snack foods, with supermarkets accounting for 39.7%, becoming the most important purchase channel for snack foods.

As a fast-moving consumer goods, offline scenes face consumers directly, which is the natural center and contact point of snack circulation. Compared with the long-term online consumption pattern, the snack mass-selling stores that radiate in the radius of consumers’ activities and go deep into the community and supermarkets have a unique advantage of reaching. In other words, in the leisure snack track, consumers are more dependent on channels than brands.

More importantly, the survival mode of the foundry not only failed to help the three giants of snacks build a moat of products, but also made them fall into the quagmire of quality frequently. Discount snack shops and snack discount stores, which also focus on white-brand products, take advantage of price to achieve overtaking in corners through offline channels.

On the basis of the business model of temporary discount stores, snack hypermarkets further tap the potential of supply chain.

The most critical action is to master the initiative of supply chain. Different from the deep binding between discount stores and brands, snack hypermarkets decided to streamline the supply chain, remove the shackles of brands, sell white-brand snacks directly, and use low-price strategy to promote scale expansion, and then put pressure on upstream brands.

Compared with the high-end snack brands that hold high and play high, the large-scale snack mass-market stores with white snacks choose to break through the sinking market, forming obvious regional characteristics. Snacks started in Changsha, Hunan Province, and through intensive regional expansion, the number of stores exceeded 2,000 in five years. Zhao Yiming Snack Shop, which emerged in Jiangxi, has been deeply cultivated in Jiangxi, Anhui, Guangdong and other regions, and the momentum should not be underestimated; The Sugar Nest, which rose in Ran Ran, Xiamen, is located in coastal markets such as Guangdong and Fujian, and has more than 1,000 stores.

The sinking of snack discount stores has reached counties, townships and other areas, which is close to the blank market of big-name snacks. Snacks are Busy Brand Director Cao Meng revealed in an interview that snacks are busy and have more than 300 township stores.

The consumption increment of the sinking market and the scale effect of snack supermarkets help them win the advantage of supply chain, and further have the premium ability with brands, and brands begin to move closer to snack supermarkets.

Gan Yuan Food, a snack food company, has established cooperation with snack distributors such as Busy Snacks, Zhao Yiming, Youming Snacks, and Wife Adults. Yanjinpu’s financial report shows that snacks were very busy in 2022, and the system opened Wal-Mart with sales of 211 million yuan, becoming Yanjinpu’s largest customer; This year, Wei Long set up a business department to connect the discount channels for snacks, and plans to launch "customized channel packaging" and an independent price system.

In addition to traditional snack selling, prefabricated and instant food has also begun to tilt to the discount snack channel. The boundaries of snack chain brands are constantly expanding, and even the market share of traditional small shops and convenience stores is constantly being tested.

The "staking the ground" under the online snack discount store is particularly fierce.

"A small county town can open seven or eight snack shops in two months." Guo Can, a busy snack franchisee, joined a joint venture with his friends in May this year, and was busy with snacks, starting his first business. "I did my homework before joining, and I said that I would earn more than a thousand dollars a day, and I would be able to return to my book in one and a half to two years." What Guo Can didn’t expect was that just half a month after her opening, two similar shops appeared on the same street. "I directly separated more than half of the customers. According to this trend, I can’t return to this in three years."

Site selection is the key factor to determine whether franchisees can make profits. "Generally speaking, the surrounding areas of schools and communities are advantageous points, and the matching customer base is more accurate." However, there are many loopholes in the implementation of regional protection policies in snack supermarkets that have accelerated into the expansion stage. "Some brands will make it clear that there will be no same brand stores in the adjacent areas, but there are too many similar snack shops to control at all."

In Guo Can’s view, snack shops seem to be a simple business model, but they have invested a lot of money. According to a rough calculation, Guo Can has invested more than 900,000 yuan in just a few months. "The initial fee is 50,000 yuan, the deposit is 30,000 yuan, the decoration fee is 120,000 yuan, the shelf cashier equipment is 140,000 yuan, and the stock preparation is more than 200,000 yuan. These are all part of the initial investment."

In fact, behind the seemingly prosperous business of snack shops, the profitability is not impressive. According to the company’s announcement and official website data, the comprehensive gross profit margin of the stores with busy snacks and preferred snacks is only 18% and 22%, while the gross profit margin of the e-commerce business of good shops can reach 24%.

After the blind expansion of snack collection stores, the whole industry will also usher in price wars, store closures and major reshuffle. After tearing open the market through price, snack shops need to face long-term problems such as brand store operation and supply chain management, which is also an all-round test of enterprise operation and management.

03 Accelerate the integration, strengthen the brand, and the snack industry enters the reshuffle period.

In the path of rapid replication, expansion and rise of snack shops, the old diseases of fast iteration, strong reproducibility and no high product threshold of snack track are exposed.

"online celebrity snacks have a fast iteration speed. Once the products are developed and verified by the market, they will be copied by many parties and then fall into the dilemma of price comparison." An industry person sighed so much about chopped pepper. Low price is indeed one of the tried-and-true strategies to accelerate brand expansion, but from the long-term development of the brand, it is not the sustainable development path of the brand to continuously reduce prices and squeeze profit space.

The dependence of the snack industry on offline channels has been continuously verified. After the price war, the snack industry will usher in a competition and competition on the scale of the offline market.

Players of discount snack brands speed up the integration, make strong alliances through mergers and acquisitions, especially focus on the expansion of sinking market, and strengthen brand awareness while expanding market share. The strategic merger between Snacks Busy and Zhao Yiming Snacks in November is one of the signals. After the strong alliance, the number of its stores and their respective advantageous areas have also been merged. In fact, this is not the first merger of snacks. As early as the first half of this year, snacks were busy and they announced a strategic investment "just goods shop" to jointly develop the national market.

Wanchen Group, a food enterprise, acquired five brands of discount snacks in one breath in October this year, and merged the four brands of Lu Xiaochan, Yadi Yadi, Haoxianglai and Laiyoupin into "Haoxianglai". At the same time, Wife, a chain of discount snacks in Zhejiang, was formally merged into Wanchen Group.

Online snack brands have also begun to tilt toward offline channels. This year, good shops have accelerated the expansion of offline stores, and deliberately resisted the impact of offline channels of discount snack shops with the model of super-thousand-flat stores. Baicaowei has returned offline since 2019. Up to now, Baicaowei has exceeded 100 offline stores nationwide, accelerating the omni-channel integration of online and offline.

Predictably, the format of discount snack shops will not stay in the Warring States period. With the outward expansion of regional brands, the snack chain track will usher in the birth of a strong one.

On the product side, the quality moat is increasingly important for snack brands.

In the snack track where the iteration speed is accelerating, the shortest path for quality breakthrough lies in the outbreak of large items. Because of this, Wang Xiaolu has continuously increased the investment in tiger skin and wind claws, and Wei Long has continuously innovated in the category of spicy strips. While intensively cultivating large items, strengthening quality control is a top priority. After the tiger skin claw was verified, Wang Xiaolu did not hesitate to invest 1 billion yuan to build his own factory. Its purpose was to control the initiative and core competitiveness of the supply chain and maintain the leading edge of the category through strict quality control.

The snack industry, whose market structure is constantly changing, has also ushered in the era of brand power competition, and strengthening brand power has become the industry consensus.

For a long time, as a fast-moving consumer goods, snack brands have strong substitutability and insufficient brand power, which can not stabilize consumers’ cognition and stickiness, resulting in continuous impact and restructuring of the industry. Therefore, snack brands have attacked on the marketing side to build core brand power.

On the one hand, it is still one of the effective means to broaden brand awareness by entertainment marketing. In April this year, the snack was busy, and the official announced Zhang Yixing as the brand spokesperson, taking advantage of the voice of the spokesperson to strengthen brand building. Vertical snack brands such as Wang Xiaolu and Wolong Nuts have also increased the comprehensive content of TV dramas, taking advantage of entertainment topics, strengthening brand building and building brand influence.

On the other hand, user recognition and planting grass have also become an important part of building brand power. Snack brands put more emphasis on getting close to young consumers, and deepened their content around social media platforms such as Jikuai, Xiaohongshu and Weibo. Covering young consumer scenes has become a brand layout trend. The "Xiaolongren", who is often active in the comment areas of major social platforms, has paved the way for Wolong nuts to go out of the circle and become the best "golden father" in consumers’ hearts through social media marketing.

Generally speaking, the future of the snack industry is still full of many uncertain factors: the other side of the discount snack shops is the dilemma of homogenization competition, and online celebrity snacks have been deeply involved in the Internet all the year round but neglected the cornerstone of supply chain construction. The competition between these two forces has not yet been concluded. What is certain is that under the industry competition, snack brands are also speeding up their thinking, making up the shortcomings in brand power and product innovation ability, and looking for a sustainable development path.
