Most people’s perception of this company is limited to: large packaging, cheap prices, suitable for household stockpiling. But if you read the related analysis articles carefully, you will find an interesting business logic — it doesn’t rely on selling products to make money at all; the real cash cow is the membership card that needs to be renewed every year.
This model is actually quite worth pondering. It seems to be retail, but the core is actually a membership business. Attract users to sign up and renew their cards with low-margin products, then use membership fees to stabilize cash flow and profits. This logic is also fully applicable to today’s exchanges and DeFi platforms — offering low or free trading fees to attract users, then generating real revenue through platform tokens, VIP privileges, and ecosystem participation. It’s a very typical “bait + stickiness” operational approach.

Well... I already saw this logic in the on-chain data a long time ago. That's how exchanges operate now. Low fees are just a bait; the real harvest is in platform tokens and VIP. Those who went all-in early are now sitting comfortably, winning effortlessly. And me? Still debating whether to add more to my position...

Membership fees are the real cash, products are just a cover.

Wow, isn't this just the same old exchange tactics—low fees to lure users and then use platform tokens to harvest profits... Comparing it like this, I finally understand why CEXs are so obsessed with creating VIP tiers.

Hey, this method of harvesting profits is really foolproof, from traditional retail to on-chain, everyone falls for it.
