Chapter seven hundred and twenty first opportunity to lose
In the evening of that day, Hengyu supermarkets in various regions began to remove these three products from the shelves after get off work. The managers of each store personally directed the stores to ensure that these three products were not still on the shelves when they opened tomorrow. .
Moreover, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons are preparing to hold a supplier conference for the two supermarkets on the 25th of next month. This is the first time that Hengyu Supermarket Group has held such an event. First, it hopes to deepen its relationship with suppliers.
The second is the issue of product supply quality assurance.
In the morning of the next day, shortly after Victor Beer, President of Carrefour Asia Affairs, came to the office, the company's administrative manager reported to him the situation of Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons.
Victor Bill did not expect that Hengyu Supermarket Group would respond so quickly. No wonder there was news yesterday that senior executives from all regions of Hengyu Supermarket Group rushed back to Xiangjiang. It seems that it was just for this matter.
At present, Carrefour itself is still in the process of self-examination and is not ready to launch an offensive in this area. Now Hengyu Supermarket Group seems to be prepared. Does Carrefour still have a chance? Victor Bill deeply feels
doubt.
He knows very well that quality and safety issues are currently the only ones that can affect the existence of Hengyu Supermarket Group. Once this loophole is filled by Hengyu Supermarket Group, it will be even more difficult for them to deal with Hengyu Supermarket Group in the future.
In order to form a three-strong conflict in the supermarket retail market structure, they themselves occupy the Western European market, Wal-Mart occupies the North American market, and Hengyu Supermarket Group occupies the Southeast Asian, Japanese, Korean, Baodao and Xiangjiang markets.
Every time an emerging market opens in the future, the three supermarket groups will inevitably compete fiercely in the hope of occupying the new market.
What worries Victor Bill the most is the mainland market. Where there is a market with more than one billion people, no company is willing to give up such a market.
In the mainland market, the advantages of Hengyu Supermarket Group are much better than them. Hengyu Supermarket Group is a company in Xiangjiang, so it has more advantages than them and Wal-Mart.
Now Hengyu Supermarket has extended its tentacles into the mainland market. With the further reform and opening up in the mainland, Hengyu Supermarket will occupy an increasingly larger market in the mainland. Neither Carrefour nor Wal-Mart in the United States can compete with them here.
Compared with Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Victor Bill very much hopes that this plan can delay the development of Hengyu Supermarket Group, so that Carrefour can still have the opportunity to establish a foothold in Asia. If it continues to develop like this, Carrefour will have to stick to the Western European market in the future.
Victor Bill said to the administrative manager: "Please sort out the news about Hengyu Supermarket Group in the past few days and send it to the Paris headquarters. At the same time, I hope the headquarters can speed up the progress, otherwise we will lose this last opportunity.
.”
After the administrative manager left, Victor Bill contacted Oscar Jackson, president of Wal-Mart's Asia affairs, and had some communication about Hengyu Supermarket Group's actions. Currently, the two companies are joining forces in Asia to keep warm. They know
Only the two parties can hope to resist Hengyu Supermarket Group if they join forces. Fighting alone will only make the environment they face more difficult.
Osford Jackson also paid attention to every move of Hengyu Supermarket. Naturally, he also received reports from company personnel about the actions there. He was also a little disappointed about this. He knew that Carrefour's action this time was probably going to end in vain.
.
He is very aware of the strength of the Li Group. Since they have discovered problems in this area, they will soon solve it. He also heard the news that the Xiangjiang Government Quality Inspection Agency has become busy today, and its main business
It is a product of Hengyu Supermarket Group, and the focus is on testing the food sold by Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Hengyu Supermarket Group just held a group meeting yesterday, and today the products have been removed from the shelves. At the same time, the government quality inspection agency is testing the products of Hengyu Supermarket Group to ensure the safety of the products sold by Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Carrefour is headquartered far away in Europe, and its strength is mainly there. Here, it is far from being able to compare with Hengyu Supermarket Group in terms of work efficiency and decision-making power.
If the Hengyu Supermarket Group did not discover the situation, it would be okay to catch the Hengyu Supermarket Group by surprise. After the Hengyu Supermarket Group discovers the situation, Carrefour will have no chance, and on the contrary, it must be careful of the Hengyu Supermarket Group's counterattack.
Osford Jackson only lamented that it was too late for Wal-Mart to enter the Asian market. If it had entered before the establishment of Hengyu Supermarket Group, it would not have faced such a situation now. Now Wal-Mart is in a dilemma.
Now if they want to gain a foothold, they have to face continued losses and withdraw from the Asian market. Wal-Mart executives are unwilling to do so. They know the importance of the Asian market very well. Once they give up the market here, the world's top retail supermarket group will be the same.
I am out of luck.
Wal-Mart occupies the North American market and dominates the North American retail supermarket market. Carrefour is also outstanding in the Western European market. Unexpectedly, they will become brothers in Asia.
Osford Jackson said on the phone: "Bill, there is nothing we at Walmart can do about this. It depends on how much information Carrefour currently has, and it must be very important information. You must ensure that it
Authenticity, so that we can still have a chance."
Although he said this, he felt that it was unlikely that there would be any heavy-hitting information. If there was a major food safety incident, there would have been problems long ago. Hengyu Supermarket Group has been in business for more than two years. If there were problems, it would have been revealed long ago.
Out.
Some minor problems cannot affect Hengyu Supermarket Group. Most of the time, the control lines are different in various regions. For example, the control lines in the United States and some Western European countries are different. Some additives may be allowed in the United States, but in some Western European countries.
The country doesn't allow it.
Victor Bill was helpless about this. If there was any big news, Carrefour would not need to wait until now. They currently do not have much valuable information at all.
At the same time, he was also a little speechless about Wal-Mart. As an alliance, he expected Carrefour to take the lead in this matter. They didn't dare to sit back and enjoy the fruits of whatever happened behind them.
If Hengyu Supermarket Group hadn't been too powerful in Asia and Carrefour had no foothold, Victor Bill would never have been willing to cooperate with Wal-Mart.
Victor Bill said into the phone: "Bill, when it comes to dealing with Hengyu Supermarket Group, you Walmart should do more. After all, only after Hengyu Supermarket's current reputation is established can we and our two companies gain space."
Development, this is not our business at Carrefour."
Osford Jackson heard Victor Bill's dissatisfaction. Of course, he also hoped to damage the current reputation of Hengyu Supermarket Group, but he couldn't find many opportunities.
On the contrary, Wal-Mart must always be on guard against Hengyu Supermarket Group and Carrefour, fearing that they will take action against them.
Don't look at their cooperation with Carrefour here. If they can hit the other party in some aspects, he believes that neither he nor Victor Beer will be lenient.
