10 times the average sales volume
Xuzhou is the owner of an e-commerce company in Jiaozhou, Qingdao. On December 20, 2016, Xuzhou came to the company for night work, but was accidentally shocked by a statistic in the background. His company administers an online shop for a mask company in Dadian Village, Jiaozhou City. Usually, this shop only has about 100 orders per day. In the absence of any promotional measures, the amount of orders for one day on the 20th reached the limit. More than 2300 single, which makes him very puzzled, in the end what happened?
With the experience and curiosity of a businessman, Xuzhou began to search for the truth on the Internet, and soon he discovered the clues. In the night before the previous day, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued an early warning that the areas in central and southern parts of China, northern Huanghuai, and western parts of the country will experience severe paralysis several days in a row, and that the smog will not be dispersed in the next few days.
"I saw this information to understand." Xuzhou told reporters that in the next more than ten days, this shop's mask sales continued to climb, the highest order volume reached more than 7,000 single ". The sales volume is basically proportional to the severity of smog.” Xuzhou said that since December 20, 2016, the average daily mask sales volume has reached more than 1,000 units, which is more than 10 times of the annual average sales volume.
Shortage of children's masks
I'm too busy to come
The masks sold by Xuzhou came from a private enterprise in Dadian Village, Jiaozhou City. On January 4, the reporter went to Dadian Village to meet Mr. Gao, who is the person in charge of the company. Mr. Gao said that the original winter was the peak season for processing masks. This time it caught up again and again. Orders from all the ordering traders rushed in and the workers were overwhelmed.
“We are a small business and we process more than 20,000 masks a day.” Mr. Gao said that the daily orders are now at least 20,000, and they often reach 30,000 to 40,000. They cannot do it at all.
In many types of masks, children have the most orders for masks. "A lot of foreign customers named children masks." Mr. Gao said there are two main reasons. First, the cold weather this year, in order to prevent the cold, masks and scarves have now become the children's standard, parents are very seriously. Second, this year's haze is particularly serious. Many parents have asked their children to wear masks on the way to school and school. Hopefully, masks can prevent PM2.5 and other harmful substances.
“I passed through with many of my peers, and the situation on their side was the same.” Mr. Gao said that in order to make more children’s masks, he even temporarily suspended workers from producing other kinds of products.
The villager wants to print
Suppressed by president of the association
It is understood that Dadian Village is a nationally famous “mask village”. At its peak, this small village of 700 households can produce nearly 1 billion masks per year, and the annual production value has reached over RMB 1.1 billion. "I haven't lost any of these masks," said Jiang Xiubin, president of the Dadiancun Mask Association. In the 1990s, he introduced the mask industry to Dadian Village and led the villagers to a rich road, but in recent years, This famous "mask village" has always faced a lot of public pressure.

“Some people say that we are difficult to make money from the country, and we are very unconvinced.” Jiang Xiubin said that despite the fact that these years of bird flu, SARS, H5N1 and haze have pushed the Dadiancun’s mask sales upwards. However, the big shop people never said that their masks can prevent these diseases.
Once the villagers wanted to mark the “PM2.5” on their masks, but they were stopped by Jiang Xiubin. “The masks we produce are all civilian, and the function is very simple. It is dustproof, warm, beautiful and fashionable.” Jiang Xiubin said that in addition they have not done any special publicity. “The masks in the village can prevent haze.” In his opinion, it was a joke.
