As part of the strategic partnership, the classic 53% ABV Feitian Moutai, one of the most popular and sought-after liquors of all Kweichow Moutais brands, can be purchased at the price of RMB1,499 (approximately US$220) on Yanxuan. To ensure end consumers can access this highly popular product, Yanxuan has adopted strict technical measures designed to prevent purchases by product resellers.
