China's one-yuan lighter monopoly in the world

Although China's current disposable lighters are very popular in the world, but in fact, our country is not the invention of the lighter, Japan is the first country to understand the lighter. However, although Japan invented early, but the real cigarette lighter widely spread or a businessman in China, in the early 90's, Wenzhou businessmen found a disposable cigarette lighter this business opportunity.

Due to the lack of relevant technology, disposable lighters in China at that time were purchased from Japan. However, as the invention of disposable lighters, disposable lighters sold in Japan are very expensive, and the price is sometimes as high as 5,000 yen, which is about 263 yuan. Such lighters are obviously unaffordable for many ordinary families.

So as long as the price of disposable lighters is low, it is a business opportunity for Wenzhou people, at that time, some businessmen in Wenzhou imported disposable lighters from Japan, and then began to study the principle. Because it is relatively simple, it is not long before the same lighter was born in Wenzhou, compared with Japanese lighters, although the quality is still insufficient, but Wenzhou people will reduce the cost of lighters to the minimum.
