Chapter 717: Carrefour's Actions
After Li Xuelan returned to the group office, she immediately found Zhu Lixia, the general manager of the administrative department, since Du Yuemei asked Hengyu to pay attention to the fact that Carrefour might stir up trouble in this regard, then she needed to take some precautions.
After Zhu Lixia came in, Li Xuelan said: "Lixia, you arranged for the group personnel to investigate the Carrefour and Wal-Mart stores in our local markets to see if they have removed some products from the shelves during this time, especially those they have taken off the shelves, and we should pay special attention to those that are still on sale on the shelves, so that they can report it immediately after they understand it clearly." ”
Zhu Lixia said, "Okay, Miss Li, do you have any other orders?"
"You inform the senior management of each region, as well as the senior management of the group, to attend the group meeting at 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow. ”
After Zhu Lixia responded to Li Xuelan, she went to arrange what Li Xuelan ordered.
She knew that something big must have happened this time, otherwise Li Xuelan would not have just returned from Li Guangyu, and she would have asked her to notify the senior management of the group and the responsible senior executives of various regions to come back and attend the meeting.
At this time, in the president's office of Carrefour Xiangjiang headquarters, Victor Beale, president of Carrefour's Asian affairs, and Osford Jackson, president of Walmart's Asian affairs, were also discussing the affairs of Hengyu Supermarket and the Li Foundation.
In the past two months, their two major supermarkets have been operating at a loss on the Xiangjiang side, and the sales of other products are very sluggish except for some products that are exclusively operated by the two of them, which makes them both under considerable pressure.
And they don't dare to fight a price war with Hengyu Supermarket Group, they know very well that that will only consume themselves to death, Hengyu Supermarket Group has the Li consortium behind them as a backing, and they don't have to worry about funds at all, they can't do it.
Victor Beale said: "Jackson, our opponents are getting stronger and stronger in Asia, look at today's news, yesterday in Treasure Island, Hengyu Supermarket has three more stores to start renovating, and it is expected to be officially opened in June." ”
In fact, what worries Victor Bill the most is their current model, Hengyu Supermarket operates like this, so that they will not lack customers, the Li consortium is currently building a small business district, and in the future, with the increase in the number of industries filled in, they will not lack popularity here, and the performance of Hengyu Supermarket will be higher.
They have to repeatedly find a better location for expansion, and at the same time they also need to find a good storefront, and Hengyu Supermarket does not need it, they have designed the location for them when they designed and built, and the location is also quite good because of their development, which is very suitable for the development of Hengyu Supermarket Group.
He knows very well how many real estate groups there are under the Li consortium and its interest groups, and if these groups expand in one place in the future, their Hengyu Supermarket Group will follow suit, and their Carrefour and Wal-Mart will not be comparable at all.
Osford Jackson said: "Bill, we don't have a good way at the moment, you should know that Hengyu Supermarket Group has much more funds than our two groups, and they never need to worry about funds when they expand." For example, this time, the three stores were directly assigned to their group, they only need to hand over the accounts, and they don't need their group to pay at all, and the money is directly counted to Li Guangyu, which means that Li Guangyu is continuing to inject capital into them,"
He is envious of Hengyu Supermarket Group, they still consider renting more often, and Hengyu Supermarket Group is basically its own storefront, and there is no need to think about rent at all. And they will also be able to get the Lee consortium to inject money into them every year.
It is a miracle that these shareholders of Wal-Mart do not withdraw profits and go out, after all, these shareholders also want to live and need to consume, which is not at the same level as Hengyu Supermarket Group, if it is not for the development time of Hengyu Supermarket Group is too short, it is estimated that the world market will not have anything to do with Wal-Mart.
Hengyu Supermarket Group is backed by the Lee consortium, which has various resources to support it, and Oosford Jackson is pessimistic about Wal-Mart's development in Asia.
Victor Beale said with a smile: "Jackson, we still have a chance, Hengyu Supermarket Group has been established for too short a time, some of their systems are not very perfect, as long as we can find their defects, we can break the current situation and let our supermarket gain a firm foothold in Asia." ”
Carrefour is currently investigating the products sold by Hengyu supermarket, especially in food, and they hope to find a breakthrough in this, once the products sold by Hengyu supermarket group have safety problems, then they can use this as public opinion to make Hengyu supermarket group lose part of the customer flow.
In order to prevent their supermarkets from having problems themselves, during this time, Carrefour seized the time to conduct self-inspection, and after the end, as long as the products of Hengyu Supermarket Group have quality and safety problems, they can stand on the righteous position of Hengyu Supermarket Group to launch a public opinion offensive to break their monopoly on the Asian market.
As for Carrefour's actions, Wal-Mart, as an old rival, has long been informed, and the headquarters also asked Osford Jackson to pay attention to this aspect of the problem to avoid problems with their Wal-Mart supermarket products in this regard.
As for whether there is a problem with Hengyu Supermarket Group, it depends on the actions of Carrefour Group, and I hope that Carrefour Group can find some useful news for them this time, and now Hengyu Supermarket Group is under too much pressure on them.
If Wal-Mart wants to gain a foothold in Asia, it must cross the mountain of Hengyu Supermarket, otherwise they will never have a bright future here.
Osford Jackson said: "Bill, we still have to do the basic skills ourselves, we have to be solid before we can launch an attack on Hengyu Supermarket Group, you must know that the media group under the Li consortium is the largest in Asia, and the two of us and them are not at the same level in terms of public opinion." Moreover, the Lee consortium has a very close relationship with these regional governments, and without tangible evidence, it will be attacked by the Lee consortium. ”
"Jackson, our Carrefour will not do anything to fabricate false incidents, if there is no problem with the products sold by Hengyu Supermarket Group, we will not spread rumors. We are well aware of the power of the Lee consortium in Asia, and if it is not true, it will not affect Hengyu Supermarket Group. ”
The reason why they Carrefour has not done it this time is that they are still testing the products of Hengyu Supermarket, especially in terms of food, and they need to take the facts as the basis to pull down the Hengyu Supermarket Group.
He knew that this alone could not take Hengyu Supermarket Group down at one time, after all, the main responsibility for these products was still the manufacturer, and their supermarket group did not know about it.
However, as long as it can influence the public's impression of Hengyu Supermarket Group, as long as one-fifth of customers are not choosing Hengyu Supermarket Group, then their Carrefour will be able to gain a firm foothold here.
As for the future, they and Hengyu Supermarket Group are slowly competing for the market, and it is impossible for them to distinguish the winners and losers in a few years if they want to do so, this is a long war.
Now Carrefour and Wal-Mart are allies here, who can guarantee that in the United States in the future, Carrefour and Hengyu Supermarket Group will not be allies.
