In Fujian, 300 kilometers from Putian, there is a small county called Yunxiao, specializing in counterfeit cigarettes - Yunxiao Yan. Even before the liberation, Yunxiao was a well-known cigarette manufacturing location in the province. Considering the local economic development, in 1952, people were specially sent to establish the Yunxiao Cigarette Factory in Yunxiao.
In 1990, Yunfu brand cigarettes produced here were once considered the highest quality flue-cured cigarettes in Fujian and were ranked among the top 500 industrial enterprises in China. But a few years after its glory, the cigarette industry began to reform and the National Tobacco Administration demanded the closure of small cigarette factories.
In 1999, the Yunxiao cigarette factory was officially closed, but the genes of cigarette making flowed into theblood of the Yunxiao. Although the factory was closed, the technology could not be wasted, so these self-employed workers. people with cigarette manufacturing technology and sales channels began to be ready to make a move. Several farmers in Xiaban Village, Yunxiao County, bought cigarette-making machines from “New China” and have since embarked on the path of producing counterfeit brand cigarettes.
Yunxiao cigarettes initially used synthetic paper mixed with tobacco leaves and chemically flavored them to pretend they were original tobacco. However, this presented a problem: it required more procedures than real cigarettes and the cost was extremely high. high. So they started trying grafting again, linking cigarette holders from high-priced cigarettes to low-priced cigarettes to make them passer for inferior cigarettes.
Although these two methods sell well, the profits are still not high by simply changing the shredded tobacco and cigarette holder. So they came up with an amazing way to buy good cigarettes from the market and package them in tin boxes, posing as limited edition gift sets of the brand. The same thing in different packaging was sold from the original 800 yuan to 3,000 yuan, and the profit tripled in an instant.
Unless someone from the Tobacco Office comes to tell the difference in the fake they made. This is a Yunxiao person's natural self-confidence. Logically speaking, the more similar the fake, the better. But fortunately for the Yunxiao, they began to innovate. For example, "Chinese Treasures" considers that it is easy to get wet after opening the package, so they cover each cig very carefullyA protective film is added to ensure that all 20 cigarettes taste the same when smoked.
After occupying 95% of the domestic counterfeit cigarette market, Yunxiao really could not sit idly by. In order to expand the market, they early on set their sights on Europe, the United States and the Middle East. Africa and other places have been attracted by Yunxiao.
