Industry Survival System - The prosperity of the liquor industry over the past two decades has largely relied on a complex "non-consumer-oriented" system, where sales are driven by channels rather than direct consumer engagement. The pricing is controlled by intermediaries, and the focus has shifted to financial speculation rather than genuine consumption needs [4][5]. - The industry has seen a proliferation of story-based marketing, emphasizing historical and cultural narratives over actual product quality and contemporary taste preferences [4].

They are less likely to be swayed by historical claims and more inclined to appreciate quality and shareable experiences [9][11]. - Moutai's shift towards the C-end is not merely about e-commerce or live streaming; it involves a comprehensive restructuring of the value chain, focusing on product transparency, reasonable pricing, experiential marketing, and direct consumer feedback [11][12].

It compels competitors to reconsider their value propositions beyond capital operations [12][14]. - The future of the liquor industry will favor those who understand consumers rather than those who excel at marketing. Moutai's transformation signifies a return to creating genuine value rather than merely manufacturing scarcity [14].
