2 yuan money weighs a catty of toys.

20 16 Hong Kong media said that in recent years, large toy factories in the Pearl River Delta region have closed down one after another, and a large number of toys can't be sold, resulting in the emergence of local warehouse-style shopping malls, which are priced by the weight of toys, such as Barbie 7 yuan (RMB, the same below), and electric toys as long as 6.5 yuan, and some as low as 2 yuan per catty.

Chenghai District of Shantou City is the center of toy wholesale market. Shantou Sky Toy Factory first introduced the sales method of selling toys by weight from 20 12, and then this model appeared in many places in the Pearl River Delta, and many similar companies appeared.

Ming Pao called the local "Baichang Toys" company, and the staff said that their toys came from various sources, including the tails and samples of toy factories, as well as the stocks of closed or transformed toy factories.

"These toys are calculated by weight. There are single items in a box and mixed (different toys). " He said that Barbie 7 yuan is a catty, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Pleasant Goat series and other anime 6 yuan are a catty, and the remote controller 10 yuan is a catty. If all the functions have been tested, it is 1 1 yuan, which can guarantee more than 90% quality. Many customers buy tons of goods, ranging from 4,000 yuan to 1000 yuan per ton, so a kilo is 2 yuan.

Extended data

Regarding the report that toys are discounted by weight, the relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Toy Association said that according to their understanding, the sales model of "pricing by weight" appeared as early as a few years ago, which is an attractive gimmick for merchants. There is no scale in the industry and it is not representative. "We haven't studied it in depth."

In fact, this "selling by the catty" sales model is not directly involved by traditional toy factories, but mainly led by some companies called "stock toy factories".

Mr. Wang, a staff member of a toy factory in Chenghai, said that they have been using this "selling by the catty" model for several years, and the products mainly include remote-controlled cars, electric toys and Barbie dolls. "90% of the company's inventory is priced by the catty, and higher-end toys such as quadcopters and remote-controlled aircraft are priced by the piece."
