Many people talk about the expensive things on the train, and they just start to squirt without discrimination. The reason is nothing more than industry monopoly and making black money, but is that really the case?
First of all, we should emphasize that the railway management party is no longer the Railway Bureau, but has become China Railway Corporation management, which is the current National Railway Group . Since it is a company that exists in enterprise management, on the basis of ensuring transportation safety, the first thing to consider should be profit issues. Isn’t that wrong?
Because in the eyes of most people, he just considers the problem from his own perspective, believing that on the train, if the traffic flow is large, small profits and quick turnover will definitely make a fortune. Because this is a monopoly. Only the train is sold, as long as the price is more affordable, you will not have to worry about making money.
However, if you break out of this small limitation of personal, you will find out if you look at it from the overall situation. The goods on the train are expensive, really for our own good. After all, everyone has a time when they are anxious to travel far and cannot bring too many things.
Next, the editor will tell you in detail why the things sold on the train are more expensive than usual?
The main nature of railway transportation or its main purpose is to transport people, not to transport goods (if it is to transport trucks, there is a separate special train). Our country has a large population. Whether it is for work or survival, many people will leave their hometowns and work far away. In order to better meet the needs of passengers for long-distance travel, the train will reasonably plan the configuration of the car, including several sleeper berths, several hard seats, which one can hold the food truck, and which section is used to load the necessary food and water. All the uses of these carriages are reasonably planned, not any combination we imagined or if we want to hang a few carriages.
But after all, the carriages on the train are limited, and the workshop used to store food and water only accounts for a small part of it. If the price of food on the train is set to the same as that of an ordinary supermarket, who would carry large and small bags of food when getting on the train? Isn't it okay to buy it directly on the train.
When all passengers think this way, a large demand will arise. There is only so much storage on the train, and it is very likely that all food, water and other goods will be sold out in one carriage. So, what should other passengers do? Just so hungry? Just so thirsty? It can be tolerated in the short term, what if you travel for a long distance?
Just imagine, such a scenario:
Train waiter : beer, drinks, mineral water, melon seeds, peanuts, eight treasure porridge, come! Put your legs on.
Passenger A: I want an eight-treasure porridge
Train waiter: Sorry, I sold out
Passenger A: Then what else can I eat? I am so hungry
Train waiter: only mineral water is left
Passenger B: I have it, do you want it? Just 20 yuan! If you don’t bargain, you will be gone if you are late
Train waiter: ...
Passenger A: ...
Don’t treat this phenomenon as a joke. If the price of the goods on the train is really taken with the supermarket, this phenomenon will definitely occur. Some passengers buy in large quantities in advance. When there is not much inventory on the train, they start to resell the food they have in their hands, which is what we often call "debtors". What's more, they will bring their own food to sell on the train, which is nothing more than the money of spending a ticket. Compared with the profits brought by selling goods on the train, it is just a drop in the bucket.
The goods on the train are expensive, mainly because it is aimed at passengers who need these physical goods more, rather than all passengers. The purpose of raising prices is to distinguish consumers and let those who ride the train bring some food themselves. This idea can be said to be the bad idea of using market laws to suppress individuals' attempts to sell inferior food on trains.
Or it is said that a businessman is a businessman, sometimes he can't accept it.
