Chapter 703 Lost Opportunity

In the evening of the same day, Hengyu supermarkets in various regions began to remove these three products from the shelves after get off work. The managers of each store will personally direct in the store to ensure that these three products will not be placed on the shelves when they open tomorrow. .

Moreover, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Watsons are planning to hold a supplier meeting of the two supermarkets on the 25th of next month. This is the first time that Hengyu Supermarket Group holds such an event. One is to deepen the relationship with suppliers. The second is the quality assurance of product supply.

In the morning of the next day, Victor Bill, President of Carrefour's Asian business, had just arrived in the office when the manager of the company's administrative department reported the situation of Hengyu Supermarket and Watsons to him.

Victor Bill did not expect that Hengyu Supermarket Group would respond so quickly. No wonder it was reported yesterday that senior management from various regions of Hengyu Supermarket Group had rushed back to Xiangjiang. It seemed that it was for this matter.

At present, Carrefour is still in the process of self-examination, and it is not ready to launch an offensive in this area at all. Now Hengyu Supermarket Group seems to be ready. Does Carrefour still have a chance? Victor Bill deeply feels doubt.

He is very clear that the current quality and safety issue is the only thing that can affect the existence of Hengyu Supermarket Group. Once this loophole is also filled by Hengyu Supermarket Group, it will be more difficult for them to deal with Hengyu Supermarket Group in the future.

For the supermarket retail market structure, there will be a situation of the top three. They themselves occupy the Western European market, Wal-Mart occupies the North American market, and Hengyu Supermarket Group occupies Southeast Asia and Japan, South Korea, Baodao and Xiangjiang markets.

With the opening of every emerging market in the future, the three supermarket groups will inevitably compete fiercely, hoping to occupy the new market.

What worries Victor Bill the most is the mainland market, where there is a market with more than one billion people, and no company will be willing to give up such a market.

In the mainland market, Hengyu Supermarket Group has much better advantages than them. Hengyu Supermarket Group is an enterprise of 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 of the mainland, Hengyu Supermarket will occupy a larger and 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 expects that this plan can hold back the development of Hengyu Supermarket Group, so that their Carrefour can still have a chance to gain a foothold in Asia. If this continues to develop, their Carrefour will only be able to stick to the Western European market in the future.

Victor Bill said to the manager of the administrative department: "You sort out the news of Hengyu Supermarket Group these days, and then send it to the Paris headquarters, and hope that the headquarters can speed up the progress, otherwise we will lose this last chance .”

After the manager of the administrative department left, Victor Bill contacted Wal-Mart Asia President Osford Jackson, and had a conversation about the actions of Hengyu Supermarket Group. At present, the two are in the Asian region to keep warm. They know Only the two parties have the hope of resisting the Hengyu Supermarket Group. Fighting alone will only make the environment they face more difficult.

Osford Jackson also paid attention to every move of Hengyu Supermarket. Naturally, he was also reported by the company staff for the actions there. He was also a little disappointed in this. He knew that Carrefour’s actions this time were probably going to end without a problem. up.

He is very aware of the strength of the Li's consortium. Since they have discovered the problem in this area, they will solve it soon.He also heard the news that the Xiangjiang government quality inspection agency has become busy today, and its main business is the products 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 products are 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 products sold by Hengyu Supermarket Group.

Carrefour's headquarters is 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 Hengyu Supermarket Group didn't discover the situation, it would be okay to catch Hengyu Supermarket Group by surprise. After Hengyu Supermarket Group found out, Carrefour would have a chance, and on the contrary, we should be careful of Hengyu Supermarket Group's counterattack.

Osford Jackson only lamented that Wal-Mart entered the Asian market too late. If it had entered before Hengyu Supermarket Group was established, it would not be facing such a situation now. Now Wal-Mart is caught in a dilemma.

Now that they want to gain a firm foothold, but also face continuous losses, Wal-Mart's executives are unwilling to withdraw from the Asian market in this way.They are well aware of the importance of the Asian market. Once they give up the market here, the world's top retail supermarket group will miss them.

Wal-Mart occupies the North American market, and they are the only ones in the North American retail supermarket market. Carrefour is also thriving in the Western European market. I did not expect to become a pair of difficult brothers when they came to Asia.

Oscar Jackson said on the phone: "Bill, we at Wal-Mart can't do anything about it, it depends on how much information you Carrefour currently has, and you must have very important information, and you must ensure that other Authenticity, so we can have a little chance."

Although he said this, he felt that it was unlikely that there would be any major information. If there was a major food safety accident, there would have been a problem long ago. Hengyu Supermarket Group has been in business for more than two years. If there was a problem, it would have been revealed Out.

Some minor problems will not affect Hengyu Supermarket Group. Most of the time, the control lines in different regions are different. For example, the control lines in the United States and some countries in Western Europe are different. Some additives may be allowed in the United States, but some in Western Europe. The country does not allow it.

Victor Bill was also helpless about this, and Carrefour didn't need to wait until now if there was big news, they didn't have much valuable news at all.

At the same time, he was a little speechless to Wal-Mart. The agreed alliance came, and they all relied on Carrefour to rush forward in this matter.

If it weren't for the fact that Hengyu Supermarket Group is too powerful in Asia, leaving Carrefour with no foothold, Victor Bill would never want to cooperate with Wal-Mart.

Victor Bill said to the phone: "Bill, you Wal-Mart should do more to deal with the Hengyu Supermarket Group. After all, after the current reputation of Hengyu Supermarket goes down, the two of us will be able to gain space. Development, this is not the business of our Carrefour family."

Oscar Jackson heard Victor Bill's dissatisfaction, and of course he also hoped to hit the current reputation of Hengyu Supermarket Group, but he couldn't find too many opportunities.

On the contrary, Wal-Mart still has to guard against Hengyu Supermarket Group and Carrefour at all times, worrying that they will take action against them.

Don't look at their cooperation with Carrefour here. If they can hit each other in some ways, he believes that neither he nor Victor Bill will be soft.
