Unexpectedly, the headline hotspots in early April this year are still on the list.
According to relevant statistics, the annual profit of China Tobacco is equivalent to 9. 1 Ali and 12.4 Tencent, and the profits of the four major banks are not as high as those of China Tobacco. Last year alone, the tax paid by China Tobacco reached 1.44 trillion yuan. No wonder netizens don't understand that such a high profit has been losing money for three years.
I used to think that tobacco companies were very profitable and just rolled a cigarette. This cost should have been very low, and each pack of cigarettes still sold for tens of dollars. I didn't expect a serious loss. Is this too outrageous?
I remember when I just graduated, I also saw the recruitment of tobacco companies. The salary given above was not low, and various holiday benefits made me want to apply at that time. Is there such a serious loss behind this high salary and welfare? I still think that tobacco companies should make a lot of money, and I didn't realize it until I saw hot news. The result is a real loss!
In this case, where did the relevant media report that China Tobacco lost money for three years, and the loss scale was as high as 5 billion? Below, let's analyze it together:
Sales have dropped.
1. In recent years, the state's regulation of tobacco has been increasing. I wonder if you have noticed that many large public places are covered with no-smoking signs. No smoking signs can be seen everywhere in hotels, subway stations or other public places. Whenever you want to have a cigarette to refresh yourself, you will find a big no-smoking sign, which does have a certain impact on tobacco sales.
Second, as we all know, smoking is harmful to health. With the concept of health care deeply rooted in people's hearts, more and more people begin to pay attention to health care. More and more people quit smoking, whether for personal initiative or passive relatives, which also has a certain impact on tobacco sales.
Third, e-cigarettes that are widely popular in the market today are deeply loved by young people. Therefore, the emergence of e-cigarettes has also had a certain impact on tobacco sales.
Fourth, as we all know, the production of tobacco can not be separated from the roll paper, and the raw material of the roll paper is trees. With the country paying more and more attention to the protection of natural environment in recent years, the raw materials of cigarettes are also an urgent problem. After all, clear water and lush mountains are priceless wealth.
B: the operating cost is high.
Although tobacco is a high-profit product, its taxes and fees are also a high expenditure. China tobacco pays taxes as high as one trillion yuan every year.
The personnel expenditure data is also very scary. According to relevant statistics, there are currently 550,000 employees in the tobacco industry, and the average annual salary is as high as 6.5438+0.9 million yuan. From this point of view, the salary of personnel alone will cost more than 6543.8+000 billion yuan every year, not counting the extra benefits, bonuses and so on. Moreover, this is only one aspect of expenditure, as well as the expenditure on all aspects of operation, which is very large.
As a state-owned enterprise, I won't say it. In this way, a loss of 5 billion in three years is nothing.
So, sometimes we just look at the surface. In fact, every enterprise has its own difficulties. Generally speaking, even if China Tobacco loses money, the company still has considerable economic strength and consumer market, and it is also one of the important sources of tax revenue in China. Therefore, I hope that China Tobacco can turn losses into profits and continue to go on well.
