Just as Li Dong was busy fighting against Carrefour and raising funds …
At this time, the dairy industry was also in an uproar.
In late April, Mengniu announced its 2007 annual report in Xiangjiang. Mengniu became the first dairy company in Hua Xia to have an annual revenue of more than 20 billion yuan.
As soon as the news came out, the entire dairy industry exclaimed.
"20 billion yuan" was a new legend for Hua Xia's dairy industry. It was constantly narrowing the gap with the world's dairy giants.
If it went one step further, Mengniu might be able to break into the top ten in the world.
At this moment, the dairy industry was full of passion. All of them were extremely excited as if they were on steroids.
Mengniu's 20 billion yuan made them all see hope.
It turned out that we were not far from the world's dairy giants. It turned out that Hua Xia's dairy industry could also do this.
Guangming, Yili, Sanlu … These dairy giants also worked overtime and put in more effort.
No one was happy that Mengniu had taken the lead and allowed Mengniu to be in the limelight.
…
There was a PP group in the Hua Xia Alumni Association.
In fact, everyone used to use QQ, but after Li Dong joined the alumni association, everyone changed to PP.
After all, Brother Ma had not joined the alumni association yet, so everyone naturally had to give their classmate some face.
Li Dong rarely went on social media. He had too many things to do and did not have time to chat with others.
However, sometimes when he was free, Li Dong also liked to read everyone's chat messages.
He did not have many PP friends, and even fewer friends groups.
In the past, he had always used QQ. He had always used QQ in his high school group and university group.
Far away, he did his own social media. Li Dong did not completely stop using QQ. After all, it was good to understand the progress of his opponents.
However, because he had not used QQ for a long time, he forgot his QQ number and password. In the end, he could only focus on PP.
One day, Li Dong happened to be free, so he opened PP to take a look.
Coincidentally, there was a message in the PP group of the Hua Xia Alumni Association.
Li Dong opened it and glanced at it. There was a series of congratulatory messages.
Ma Yun: "Congratulations, Old Niu. Hua Xia is number one. Fight to become number one in the world!"
Feng Lun: "Good job, Old Niu. I'll treat you later!"
Liu Chuanzhi: "Boss Niu, next time everyone is prepared to eat from the rich."
"…"
Everyone was congratulating Old Cow. Although many people in the group had businesses that had annual sales of more than 20 billion yuan, the industry was different.
So far away, not to mention 20 billion, it had even broken the 50 billion mark.
So far away, it was still not number one in the industry. Whether it was supermarkets, shopping malls, or logistics, it was still not number one. It was the same even if it broke the 50 billion mark.
Meng Niu was different. 20 billion was the true number one tycoon in Hua Xia.
Everyone naturally had to congratulate him for such a good thing.
Old Cow also replied. First, he sent a grimacing emoji. Then, he replied, "Ha ha ha, treat, definitely treat! Thank you for your support, everyone. When you're free, come to my place and we'll drink until we're drunk! "
The others started to tease him, and the group became lively.
Usually, everyone was busy. If there wasn't anything important, they wouldn't normally talk in the group.
Today, it just so happened that Meng Niu had announced its financial report. Many people had received the news, and that was why they appeared.
Li Dong originally didn't know about this. After all, he hadn't been in the mood to pay attention to other industries recently.
He had even almost forgotten that he had made up his mind to expose the problem of the milk powder.
But now, Li Dong suddenly remembered!
It had been a few months. If it wasn't for today's incident, he would have really forgotten about it.
He couldn't be blamed for neglecting it. After all, it wasn't related to him. At that time, his children didn't suffer.
Furthermore, there were many things to do in the company. It was understandable that Li Dong had forgotten about it.
Humans were selfish. If it didn't involve themselves, how would they have so much time to remember?
But today, it reminded Li Dong that he really couldn't ignore this matter anymore.
Now, the batch of milk powder with the most serious problem should have been out. Even if he knew that drinking it would cause problems, he still promised to take care of it. How could he not care about it?
Everyone in the group was discussing excitedly. Li Dong couldn't help but touch his chin.
It seemed like he had offended someone again this time.
Others might not say anything, but if this matter were to blow up, Old Niu would probably be in trouble.
Meng Niu had just gotten into the limelight, and now, a big problem had appeared. This wasn't a small matter, especially now that Meng Niu was the most famous.
After pondering for a while, Li Dong also replied with a message.
"Brother Niu, congratulations!"
Li Dong didn't appear many times. Once he appeared, many people warmly greeted him. "Dongzi, how come you have time to appear today?"
"Li Dong, you didn't come to our gathering last time. Next time, Old Niu will treat you. I'll definitely come."
"…"
"Dongzi, I missed you so much. You stood me up so many times. I was so angry!"
The last sentence was sent by Wu Yajun. She also sent a resentful emoji.
Li Dong smiled and greeted everyone for a while.
At that moment, Old Niu also replied. "Dongzi, don't make fun of me. Twenty billion isn't even a fraction of Far away."
Li Dong replied, "Brother Niu, you're being humble. Meng Niu is now the leader in the industry. Far away can't compare."
After saying that, Li Dong added, "Oh right, Brother Niu, do you know what melamine is?"
Old Niu's side suddenly quietened down. At that moment, Chairman Old Wang, who hadn't appeared all this while, suddenly said, "Dongzi, why are you asking about this?"
Li Dong replied, "Nothing much. Far away has been doing an internal inspection recently. They did a random inspection of their dairy products. Some of the products were found to have excessive melamine levels. I'm just asking if this has a big impact. "
Wang Zhongnan and Old Niu seemed to be hesitating and considering. They didn't say anything for a while.
Some of the others didn't know about this. They cheerfully interrupted, "Dongzi, you're really responsible as a chairman. You're so concerned about such a small matter."
Yes, to everyone, it was indeed not a big deal.
Li Dong's enterprise was so big. It was just a random inspection of the products in the supermarket. It seemed like there was an excessive substance in one of the products. It was indeed not a big deal.
Since the others didn't take it seriously, Li Dong didn't care. He continued to reply, "I'm just asking. I'll wait for the inspection results. Everyone, continue chatting. I'm leaving."
After saying that, Li Dong didn't appear anymore.
Anyway, he had already reminded them. What Meng Niu and Guangming did next was up to them.
Li Dong had also said that if they waited for the results, there would be a gap of a few days.
At that moment, if they could understand what Li Dong meant, it would be best for them to remove the excessive milk powder from the shelves.
Of course, if they didn't take it seriously and heard it, it was fine. Li Dong didn't care either.
Anyway, he reminded them. If it broke out later, it was their own responsibility. It couldn't be blamed on him.
Ignoring these people, Li Dong picked up the phone and called Sun Tao.
…
April 26th.
The Internet and the media suddenly reported that Carrefour sold problematic milk powder that may contain the chemical melamine.
The low amount of melamine was not a big problem, but excessive amounts would cause kidney stone symptoms in babies, and in severe cases, death!
As soon as the news came out, the country was boiling!
No matter at any time, food problems were a serious problem, especially when it involved babies.
It was fine if the problems of adults were not serious.
But when it came to children, parents could really kill.
As soon as the news came out, regardless of whether it was true or not, the hospital's business suddenly boomed. A large number of parents took their children to the hospital for testing.
Especially the consumers who went to Carrefour to buy milk powder, they were even more anxious.
At this time, Carrefour also hurriedly came out to refute the rumors, saying that someone was framing them, and the spearhead was directed at Faraway Group.
Far away Li Dong did not show weakness and immediately made a public statement on Weibo. "Whether it's true or not, the facts can prove it! I don't know about other companies, but Far Away, since a few months ago, more than ten dairy products have been removed from the shelves. Far Away's internal testing agency has done strict food testing and supervision. We, Faraway Group, will not put any food that is harmful to the safety of the public into Faraway Supermarket. As for other companies, Far Away can't guarantee it. If you really have a clear conscience and believe that your supervision is in place, just go for the inspection. You're welcome to slap me in the face with the test report. Also, it's useless to hide it. The truth is the truth, and you can't hide it from me, Li Dong! "
As soon as Li Dong's words came out, the matter completely boiled over.
Although Li Dong's image in everyone's eyes was mixed, he rarely told lies and had always been bold and daring to speak.
This time, since Li Dong said that more than ten dairy products had been removed from the shelves Far Away, it was definitely not without reason.
Maybe it was true. Maybe Carrefour really did not supervise properly and let the problematic milk powder enter the supermarket shelves.
If this really happened, the dairy company with the problem would definitely be finished. Carrefour was already at the cusp of the storm. With such a mess, it would really be done for.
The netizens were talking about it, and everyone was waiting for the test report of the families who had drunk Carrefour's dairy products.
At this time, someone revealed that starting from the 23rd, Guangming and Mengniu had gradually withdrawn some of their dairy products.
It was likely related to this incident. If there was no problem with the milk powder, why did Guangming and Mengniu withdraw it?
Now, although the report had not been released, many people had already believed it.
There was really a problem with the milk powder!
Not to mention the withdrawal of Guangming and Mengniu, other dairy products might also have a big problem.
Many families who had bought milk powder at home but had not used it yet did not dare to use it at this time.
There were also some anti-counterfeiting people who had appeared at this time, ready to take the milk powder to a professional organization for testing.
They did not believe one side of the story, but they believed in the evidence.
If there was really a problem with the milk powder, it was likely that not only Carrefour was involved. Perhaps the problematic milk powder had already entered thousands of households.
Of course, the only one that could be trusted at this time was Faraway Supermarket.
Li Dong's remarks clearly told everyone that this matter was exposed by them. As for why he only reported on Carrefour, everyone knew that he was taking advantage of the situation to kill Carrefour.
Knowing was one thing, but everyone did not mind being used by Li Dong.
If there was really a problem with the milk powder sold by Carrefour, they, who were originally boycotting Carrefour, would even have the thought of smashing it.
We went to Carrefour to shop because we believed that Carrefour was a foreign company. We believed that Carrefour could guarantee the quality.
They had always been suspicious of domestic companies.
However, Faraway had long discovered the problem and had even started to remove the milk powder from the shelves a few months ago. Did Carrefour not know about it at all?
The crowd was boiling again. At this moment, everyone was very angry and worried.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the results. It would be best if nothing happened, but if something really happened …
Many parents were worried when they thought of their children at home.
At first, many people were not prepared to do a test. However, someone on the Internet explained in detail what melamine was.
If one drank too much, they would really die!
Even if they did not die, they would suffer from kidney stones. What would happen to their children in the future?
With this worry, many parents had taken leave and brought their children to the hospital for a check-up.
As if to prove their worries, even though the professional test had not been done yet.
Big groups such as Huarun Resources and Bailian had already begun to remove all kinds of milk powder from the shelves before the matter was concluded.
For a moment, the wind was blowing!
…
Far away.
Li Dong crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette. He had a proud look on his face.
Cutting grass to hit a rabbit would only offend people. It was a thankless effort.
However, if he could take the opportunity to get rid of Carrefour and take down other supermarket chains Far away, Li Dong would make a lot of money.
Far away was the first milk powder to be exposed. Far away was the first to be removed from the shelves.
Far away's testing and supervision procedures were the most complete. Far away was the most responsible for the safety of the masses.
Just as Li Dong had said, Far away would always be at the forefront of food safety issues.
Last year, Far away had used this trick to catch Yurun off guard. Zhu Yicai wanted to cry but had no tears.
This year, Li Dong had used this trick again. His competitors were speechless.
Do you dare to say that your milk powder is fine?
Of course not!
Yes, as a supermarket chain, as a large supermarket chain, they had the responsibility and obligation to carry out supervision and testing.
In his previous life, everyone seemed to have neglected this point and pushed the responsibility to Sanlu.
But in reality, were these supermarkets not responsible?
Everyone trusted them and believed that the products were fine. That was why they bought with confidence.
Such a large supermarket did not even have a testing facility?
Even if they did not know about the excessive levels of melamine, they could ask the professionals.
However, the problematic milk powder was still placed on their shelves.
It was all for profit.
Since they had chosen profit, then don't blame Li Dong for taking advantage of the situation to kill them.
In his previous life, everyone had forgotten about this. Anyway, not many people had mentioned the supermarkets.
But this time, it was different.
The first thing Li Dong mentioned was not the problematic milk powder company but Carrefour. He mentioned all the major distributors.
At this time, everyone's focus would change.
The manufacturers must take responsibility, and so must the supermarkets!
Thinking of this, Li Dong became even happier. Chen Lang, who had just returned from Shanghai, could not help but shake his head and laugh. "General Manager Li, you have offended someone again."
Not only the dairy industry, but also the major supermarkets.
Li Dong said indifferently. "So be it. I am telling the truth. It is good enough that I did not point the finger at them. Logically speaking, Carrefour is like a turtle in a jar. This time, I should be targeting Huarun Resources. Huarun Resources should be grateful to me. If it is not because I am not powerful enough, I will take this opportunity to swallow them up! "
Chen Lang laughed. Indeed.
This time, if Li Dong felt that he could swallow Huarun Resources, he would not point the finger at Carrefour. He would point it at Huarun Resources.
Huarun Resources was their biggest competitor in East China.
