Chapter 127: Anxiously waiting

This strange move of Carrefour Group has attracted widespread attention throughout China. The capital is no exception!

People are speculating that Carrefour Group made this move because of Weishenme?

Contradicted with the manufacturers of these 15 products? Carrefour Group decided to store these manufacturers' products in its own supermarket? There is a possibility, but it was soon discovered that other goods from these manufacturers were still on the shelves and were sold normally. Obviously, this reason is not the real reason.

Is that because these goods have quality issues? It's possible. Carrefour supermarkets have not happened to similar things before, but since Carrefour supermarkets have established a commodity quality inspection center that has been separated, this kind of thing has been extremely rare, and even if these goods have quality problems, there is no need to compensate all the goods that have been sold within a year, right?

If the commodity quality inspection center has not found the quality problems of these fifteen commodities for a year, it is undoubtedly a major blow to the independent commodity quality inspection center! This will seriously affect the credibility of the commodity quality inspection center in the eyes of the Chinese people!

People can't help but have different opinions......

This sudden incident also attracted great attention from the media across the country, and compared to this incident, the opening of Refur Group's first store in China immediately seemed insignificant.

Lu Yifan walked around his office irritably, as a pioneer in studying in Europe after Huaxia opened the country, he did not return to Huaxia after studying at Cambridge University in England for four years, but entered the refur group branch in the UK, because of his excellent work, five years later, he was transferred to the headquarters of the refur group. Today, he has acquired French citizenship and is married and has children.

After the REFUR Group decided to open up the Chinese market, as a native of China, he can be said to be the most knowledgeable of the Chinese national conditions in the REFUR Group. Therefore, the president of REFUR Group personally ordered him to return to Huaxia to serve as the manager of this first store! Of course, if the Refur Group continues to expand the number of stores in China, it is only natural that he will become the president of the Huaxia District and a high-level cadre of the Refur Group.

Lu Yifan has never doubted the market prospects of REFUR Group in Huaxia, and no one understands better than him how amazing the supermarket retail market in Huaxia is! The total population of China's first-tier cities has surpassed that of any European country except Russia, and this number is growing rapidly every year!

Moreover, urban residents in China, with the continuous growth of income over the years, have a certain consumption capacity, and with the deepening of China's reform and opening up policy, Chinese people will have higher and higher requirements for the quality of life, all of which undoubtedly provides a solid foundation for the development of the supermarket retail industry.

So Lu Yifan happily accepted this task. Although Lu Yifan has long known that in today's China, the supermarket retail industry is also booming, the most famous of which is the Carrefour Group, which rejected the acquisition of the Refur Group. Today's Carrefour Group has grown into a behemoth. Although the total assets cannot be compared with the old supermarket chain groups such as Refur Group and Vorma Group, it has established a leading position in China.

Refur Group has entered China, and the biggest rivals in the future will definitely be Carrefour Group and Walma Group!

However, Lu Yifan has strong confidence in his future! It is difficult for Refur Group to seize the retail market share in China's big cities from Carrefour Group in a short period of time, but China's supermarket chain enterprises are mixed, and it is not difficult for Refur Group to seize market share from these companies as long as it has a foothold. The rest is just a matter of time, Lu Yifan believes that as long as he is given enough time, the Huaxia market is bound to become an important performance growth point for REFUR Group! And he himself will become one of the few non-white races who can enter the upper echelons of the Refur Group.

In order to realize this dream of his own, Lu Yifan did a lot of work after taking over this job to expand the popularity of REFUR Group in Beijing. Today is the opening of the first store, he not only invited the heads of the relevant departments, but also invited a large number of media reporters, to the first time, with a bombing effect, to the capital and even the people of China, to announce the official entry of REFUR Group into China.

But all of this was mixed up by the sudden action of the Carrefour Group!

Some of the media who were invited to the conference, some of whom had already withdrawn, and those who stayed were also in a hurry to complete their own interviews, and it was clear that they were also closely concerned about the progress of the Carrefour group. Lu Yifan can imagine that these media are racking their brains and trying every means to inquire about the truth behind the emergency removal of Carrefour supermarket! And this event will undoubtedly be the focus of media coverage today and tomorrow! In short, the news of the opening of the first store of the REFUR Group in China will be overshadowed by the glow of Carrefour supermarket!

All the efforts made by Lu Yifan before, at this moment, the effect has undoubtedly shrunk significantly.

"Store manager!" Lu Yifan's secretary shouted softly. This is a beautiful working woman with a soft and beautiful voice.

"What's the matter?" Lu Yifan said in a deep voice. If nothing important had happened, his secretary would not have been so distracted.

"I just got the news that in addition to Carrefour supermarket in Shanghai, the rest of the other large supermarkets have also begun to remove those fifteen kinds of goods from the shelves! The reason is not yet known. ”

"Other supermarkets are following suit?" Lu Yifan couldn't help but be taken aback, if this was the case, this matter would be even more incomprehensible!

"Is there any reaction from other supermarkets in the capital at the moment?" Lu Yifan said immediately. If other supermarkets in the capital have also taken action, then he has to consider whether his own supermarket will also remove all the items on the list from the shelves. But on the first day of opening, the goods were removed from the shelves, which is obviously not a good sign for Lu Yifan.

"Not yet, our guys are eyeing their main storefronts!" The secretary replied.

Lu Yifan walked back and forth in the office twice, although other supermarkets in the capital have not yet responded, but the resolute follow-up of other supermarkets in Shanghai has sounded the alarm for Lu Yifan. If Carrefour Group has no suitable reason, then how can those supermarkets in Shanghai follow him and mess around. After all, removing the goods from the shelves for no reason will definitely anger those suppliers!

"Don't take it off the shelves for now, but let the people in charge of restocking the shelves not restock the fifteen items on the list!" Lu Yifan said in a deep voice. The secretary went out in understanding.

Not to mention that the hero saw the same thing, just when Lu Yifan made this decision, Li Mingji and others also made the same decision. Although it is not off the shelves, it has put on a posture of being out of stock, so that the contradiction with the supplier is not intense, and if there is anything wrong, it can be regarded as an explanation to the consumer, and the amount of compensation that needs to be paid can be reduced.

In the afternoon, the dealers of these fifteen commodities also got the news, and they were shocked, so they naturally asked the Carrefour Group for the first time.

"After we learned the news, we immediately asked the headquarters of Carrefour Group about the reason for the removal of the goods!" Chen Li, the agent of Heinz chili sauce in Huaxia, said helplessly to the reporter who came to interview, "But I didn't get a definite answer." The person in charge of the relevant department only told us that the Carrefour Group will hold a press conference at 6 o'clock in the evening to officially inform the media and us of the reason for the removal of the goods from the shelves. So, now I'm just like you, and I don't know what the problem is! ”

"Mr. Chen, do you think it's because of the quality of the goods?" The reporter continued to ask.

"No way!" Chen Li waved his hand in annoyance, "Heinz Group is an internationally renowned enterprise, with branches and branches in more than 110 countries and regions around the world, more than 150 world-famous brands, and is one of the undisputed leaders in the global nutritional food industry. Its products are popular in Europe and the United States, and have been fully recognized by consumers in European and American countries! It's not those small village factories with street workshops, and it is impossible to have problems with the quality of goods! Moreover, hasn't Carrefour supermarket always claimed that all the goods in their supermarket are allowed to be put on the shelves after being comprehensively tested by the commodity quality inspection center and meeting national standards? If it's really a quality problem, why haven't they detected it? ”

Of course, Chen Li's anger is justified, and the complete removal of Carrefour Group and several large supermarket chains in Shanghai has had a serious impact on the sales of Heinz goods, and the income of his agent will naturally be damaged as a result.

Interviews like this also happened to other dealers and manufacturers of products that were removed from the shelves, on the one hand, these people said that they did not know anything about the Carrefour Group's sudden move, and they did not know more inside information than the reporters, and expressed their dissatisfaction with the Carrefour Group's move; On the other hand, they also swear that their respective products are absolutely free of quality problems! Of course, they all mentioned without exception that their products have passed the inspection of the commodity quality inspection center.

As a result, everyone waited anxiously for the Carrefour press conference at 6 p.m. to unravel the mystery that puzzled everyone...... RO！ ~！
