There really aren't any projects at all, so boring I've gone bald.
I'm really bored, so let me break down some projects I've done before.
As everyone knows, Sam's Club has very high per-transaction spending; you could say if you go there casually, you won't leave without four figures, and just buying a few things can push you over the limit.
Although Nantong doesn't have much presence, the Nantong Sam's Club is the top-selling supermarket in the Asia-Pacific region, with daily sales exceeding 10 million yuan.
Huge cash flow brings huge liquidity; even a small margin under such large turnover is quite terrifying—1% of 100 million is 1 million.
Any supermarket chain has a shopping card mechanism; JD has E-cards, Tmall has Cat Cards, Walmart and Sam's have Walmart Cards. Cards starting with 2326 can be used at Sam's. Since there is a shopping card mechanism, arbitrage opportunities exist. Various bank discount activities can be used to buy cheap shopping cards, and also government agencies, enterprises, and social connections produce shopping cards that need to be liquidated.
The general market price for Walmart shopping cards is around 955 yuan; during holidays and autumn-winter seasons when snack consumption peaks, it can reach about 970 yuan; during Chinese New Year, it can even go up to 990 yuan. If you have enough capital, you can stockpile shopping cards. Buying low and selling high every year can earn quite a bit. In World Cup years, like this year, you can even get cards worth 910 yuan, you know.
What you need to do is go to second-hand platforms like Xianyu to stockpile Walmart cards under 950 yuan, then on weekends, go to the store and wait at the checkout, with a big smile ask the beautiful girl/boy, "Do you need someone to check out for you? Only 980 yuan for 1000!" So for each transaction, you earn 980 - 950 = 30 yuan. Earning a thousand yuan or so a day is quite easy, but now I’m starting to feel a bit ashamed and don’t go as often haha.
The above is arbitrage from shopping card margins, and there is also a cashback mechanism for Sam's Club Excellence Card purchases. If you're even more shameless, you can let customers use your card to check out. Spending 100,000 yuan a month earns 500 yuan cashback. I started doing Sam's business in 2022. Just now I downloaded and checked this account, it has 16,000 yuan in cashback, almost pure profit. At the peak, I had 60 of these Excellence accounts, hehe.
There are also high-spending Sam's Club members who can buy Moutai at face value. In the past, during Mid-Autumn Festival, special occasions, and Spring Festival, there were three times a year, when Moutai was priced at 2,600-3,000 yuan per bottle, with very high premiums. I used to find delivery drivers to pick up the liquor during festivals—those were really happy times. Later, it was reduced to twice a year. Now Moutai has gone bankrupt, so forget it.
