There are significant misconceptions about consumption in the country. A few days ago, I experienced something while traveling in Yunnan where I bought a tea cake for about 1000 RMB. At that moment, it felt a bit expensive for someone who doesn't drink tea regularly.

On the way back, I thought about the Oriental Leaves I usually drink. I didn't realize until I calculated that if I compared the brewing frequency and tea quantity of the tea cake to Oriental Leaves, then Oriental Leaves would be approximately equivalent to a tea cake priced at about 1300. This refers not to quality but to the equivalent price after conversion.

Many people in the country have this consumption mindset; they are not hesitant to spend small amounts of money but feel reluctant when it comes to spending more. However, many products actually have the best cost-effectiveness at the median price point. Low prices may feel cheaper but often do not lead to consideration of the ultimate cost-effectiveness. Often, low-priced goods are actually the least cost-effective.

This is similar to new traders; with 1000u, the pain of a 1000u margin call is hardly felt. Conversely, because they deposit a small amount, they accept leverage of 20 times or more, leading to liquidation. However, if they deposit tens of thousands of U at once, they tend to avoid risk and try leverage within 5 times.

Because of this small amount, many do not consider the traps of cost-effectiveness, which many people in the country have not thought about. In fact, the threshold for the most cost-effective options is often not low-end products.
