Is it easy for e-commerce platforms to increase supply of Moutai?
In December, Moutai increased its direct sales channels.
In response to this, major e-commerce platforms have announced an increase in Moutai.
According to statistics, a total of 1.5 million bottles of Moutai on the three platforms of Tmall, JD, and Suning were available for consumers to snap up in December.
Tmall Supermarket opened its largest monthly supply of Moutai on December 10, and it is estimated that more than 400,000 bottles of Moutai will be put on the market, about 10 times that of the same period last year.
On December 10, Suning.com also released news that it will release 500,000 bottles of Moutai in December to meet the needs of consumers for wine purchases at the end of the year.
Earlier, Carrefour announced that Moutai will increase the volume of 290,000 bottles of Moutai through Carrefour channels in December.
Suning Tesco's 500,000 bottles and Carrefour's 290,000 bottles, Suning will put a total of 790,000 bottles of Moutai in December.
On the same day, JD.com announced that online JD Supermarkets and offline JD Qixian stores will open omni-channel Moutai monthly supply. It is estimated that more than 600,000 bottles of Moutai will be put on the market online and offline.
After Moutai's direct sales channels increase in volume, is Moutai easy to grab?
A reporter from Sino-Singapore Jingwei found that even if Moutai increased its sales to direct sales channels, the major direct sales channels increased supply at the end of the year, but the platform was sold regularly and quantitatively every day, and consumers still had limited opportunities.
Based on the volume of 400,000 bottles of Moutai in Tmall Supermarket in December, Tmall Supermarket puts about 13,000 bottles in the country every day, which is distributed to less than 400 bottles in various provinces.
Compared with Carrefour's 50 offline stores, which have a daily volume of about 10,000 bottles, the chance of grabbing is extremely small.
The above situation has been reflected on social media.
Many netizens complained, "The happiest thing every day is to grab Moutai, and the most disappointing thing is that I haven't grabbed a bottle so far." Some netizens said, "I have used all the fascia guns, but I still haven't grabbed them." "Every day They are robbing Maotai, and every day is dejected."
However, many netizens also said that with the increase in volume, "the first time I have grabbed Maotai in my life".
On social platforms such as Weibo, many netizens posted screenshots of their orders for grabbing Moutai, with the text "Any price increase".
Moutai has always been a "hard currency" in the market.
According to the China-Singapore Jingwei reporter, the current quotation for a single bottle of 2020 Moutai recycling is 2,400 yuan, which is about 900 yuan higher than the direct sales channel price of 1,499 yuan.
However, some merchants said that Moutai's recycling price has been falling recently, which may be related to the increase in direct sales channels.
Grab a bottle on behalf of the price increase, users need to provide account and password
Regardless of whether the recycling price drops, in the eyes of many people, "Moutai, if you grab it, you earn it." So, a service that uses software to replace it has appeared in the market.
"Is there anyone who buys Maotai? If you grab the software, you can sell it for 500 yuan." In a QQ group, Weili kept releasing news.
The Moutai in Weili's hands was grabbed by himself with software. "Because it didn't take much effort, so I sold it with a little extra, just begging to sell it quickly."
In addition to grabbing it by himself, Weili will also help others to grab Moutai for a fee. He has been in this "business" for more than two years, "it's just that he's been extremely busy recently."
"There is basically no off-season and peak season for grabbing Maotai. It has been very busy throughout the year, but it has been particularly busy recently. Get up at around 7:30 in the morning, open your eyes and use your mobile phone to reply to the consultation message on how to grab it, and then help the customer to register and operate the software. , Communicate with customers to make payments, and keep responding to messages. Sometimes I don’t go to bed until one or two in the morning.” Weili told a reporter from Sino-Singapore Jingwei that in the past month many people have consulted on behalf of robs, and the number of orders on behalf of robs has also increased. Quite a lot, he thinks it has something to do with increasing the supply of Moutai on the e-commerce platform.
"There are more Moutai on the e-commerce platform. Everyone thinks they can grab it. When everyone thinks so, the number of appointments will increase. In fact, it is even more difficult to grab. Some people can't grab it many times. If you go by the side, you will think of robbing and the like." Weili analysis.
Weili’s software is only for the JD platform and has certain requirements for JD accounts.
"To grab Moutai in the last generation of JD.com, you must be a PLUS member, must be 4 stars or more, and the Jingxiang value must be more than 5000." Then Weili sent a "JD Moutai Comprehensive Sub-Inquiry" QR code, and he instructed the China-Singapore Jingwei reporter, "Sweep this QR code with the JD App, you can see the score, if it is greater than 104 points, you can grab it on your behalf."
The account meets the above conditions before proceeding to the next step.
Weili continued to introduce, "I will send a link and an activation code. Open the link with a browser, and then copy the activation code in, and a QR code will pop up. You can log in with the App to scan the code, so your account will hang On my software."
Weili charges 550 yuan for grabbing a bottle of Moutai. After 3 minutes after the platform starts to grab, the user will check whether the shot is hit and pay if the shot is hit.
"If you haven't paid over time, I will pay for the photo shoot. I can cancel the order if I don't pay the photo shoot." Weili reminded.

A reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei noted that the price increase for each bottle of Moutai on behalf of the company is not the same, but the process is roughly the same.
Huang Niu Shengen said that he can provide Moutai robbing service on RT-Mart Youxian App.
"It costs 180 yuan to grab a bottle on behalf of you, and you have to give me money in advance. In addition, you have to give me the account and password of the App. I add it here and I can't get a refund." Shengen introduced.
Later, Shengen sent a real-time screenshot of the snap-up software, which not only showed the status of the real-time order, but also clearly marked the remaining amount of Moutai at RT-Mart stores.
"This software can be grabbed at RT-Mart stores across the country." Shengen introduced.
Similar to Shengen, scalper Zhou Jie also provides Moutai robbing service, but his software only supports Gome App.
"Members of Gome can grab them if they have US beans. I will grab a bottle and charge 400 yuan. If you get the money, you will not bargain."
Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that some sellers not only provide surrogate services, but also sell surrogate software.
Jie said that his software can be sold for 250 yuan a set.
"You can operate the software by installing it on your computer, no activation code is required, and an operation tutorial is included."
So, what is the principle of buying software?
Zhou Jie explained that the software snap-up process is the same as the consumer snap-up process, but the reaction speed is accelerated.
"The speed at which you click the buy button is the same as the speed at which the fascia gun clicks the buy button. Of course, the software is much faster than the fascia gun." Zhou Jie explained, "You don't lose money when you buy software. Just grab a bottle of wine. It costs 400 yuan, while the software is only 250 yuan. Moreover, the software can not only grab alcohol, but also all the products that are sold in seconds. I have used it to buy a lot of goods and made a lot of money."
There are legal precedents for robbing easy to leak privacy, making and selling rush auction software
During the interview, a reporter from Sino-Singapore Jingwei found that there is a great risk of personal information leakage in finding someone to rob.
The user needs to provide the e-commerce platform account number, password and other information to the seller, and after the seller logs in to the account, he can view multiple personal information such as the delivery address and name.
Xu Juan, a lawyer from Zhejiang Kenting Law Firm, said in an interview with the Southern Metropolis Daily that using proxy shots to kill will face the risk of personal information leakage, "including name, ID number, delivery address, contact phone number, etc.. Once personal information Leakage can range from various harassing calls and promotional text messages to the use of criminals, causing problems such as stolen accounts and telecommunications network fraud, which in turn causes great hidden dangers to consumer property safety."
The Economic Investigation Team of the Public Security Department of Anhui Province has issued a public reminder: When consumers make online purchases, they should choose legal and formal websites and try not to use unofficial plug-in software for the spike device.
It is necessary to strengthen self-protection, install anti-virus software on the computer and update the virus database in time, and at the same time turn on the real-time protection function, and regularly check and kill Trojan viruses on the computer.
According to the police, for bidding through the "online shopping spike device", users must enter their bank account and password in advance, and then use the spike device to make payment after the spike is successful.
Criminals just use this feature to bundle the seckiller with "Alipay hijacking Trojan horse", or directly disguise the Trojan horse program as a seckiller, and use "free seckill, rapid seckill" and other promotional content to tempt users to click to download the virus Trojan. The bundled installation package caused netizens’ computers to be poisoned, and then they were implanted with remote control and Internet banking hacking viruses, which eventually led to the disclosure of bank card information and theft of funds in the card by criminals.
A lawyer who did not want to be named also told the Sino-Singapore Jingwei client that this kind of panic buying software invaded computer programs and disrupted the normal operation order and effect of the online shopping platform. The production and sales have violated relevant laws. At the same time, user privacy may be leaked.
The China-Singapore Jingwei reporter noted that there have been precedents for the production and sale of software.
According to Shanxi Daily, on October 10, 2018, among the top ten boutique public prosecution cases announced by the Shanxi Provincial Procuratorate, the country's first typical case of providing intrusion and illegal control of computer information system programs and tools was selected.
According to reports, in this case, relevant personnel developed panic buying software to kill Xiaomi mobile phones on Tmall in order to promote profit.
Later, the Tmall platform found that there was a software that used traffic that was much higher than normal traffic. After a period of observation, an alarm was processed.
In the end, three "post-85" criminal suspects were sentenced.
According to the report, the investigation found that the scalper snap-up software in the above case can avoid or break through the security protection measures of the computer information system of the shopping website, realize automatic machine login, automatic batch ordering, automatic payment, and preempt other normal users' order requests. Snapped up the spike product.
In other words, this type of panic buying can be completed by sending tasks directly to the server.
Normal users click the buttons on the browser or mobile client to complete the operation.
In addition, according to a report by the Rule of Law Daily in August 2019, in the "Net Network 2019" special operation, Alibaba Security assisted the Nantong Public Security Bureau of Jiangsu Province in successfully destroying a gang involved in the production and sale of scalper software HIROOT. The amount involved exceeded 1,000. Million.
The Rule of Law Daily reported that after the software runs, users only need to manually complete the slider verification of the e-commerce platform to automatically place orders and kill products.
Because of his novel criminal tactics, the case was listed as a case under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Security.
