Shanghai.
Carrefour's headquarters.
Luo Guowei held the test report and was in a daze for a long time.
Even though the professional test report was not out, even though he was not the only one selling the milk powder, even though …
No matter how many reasons there were, there was still a lunatic staring at them.
The test report was done internally, and it came out quickly.
Luo Guowei never smoked, but this time, he lit up a cigar. This cigar was given to him by a friend when he visited Hua Xia last time.
It was his first time smoking, and Luo Guowei was not used to it.
After coughing for a while, Luo Guowei suddenly laughed. "Iris, do you think we are doomed this time?"
Chen Ying was silent for a moment and nodded. "We are already at the heart of the struggle. I'm afraid we will not be able to survive this time."
"Haha, sh * t. I should be able to return to my motherland!"
Luo Guowei laughed at first, then he cried. "But what I want is glory. Now, it's all over! I suspect they will kill me if I go back! That lunatic Li Dong, why is he targeting us?! We had defeated Wal-Mart in Europe, and we are not afraid of Wal-Mart in the world. But why can't we win against a local company in Hua Xia?! I never want to come back to Hua Xia ever again! "
Chen Ying said calmly. "Luo Guowei, now is not the time to think about this. We need to think of ways to minimize the impact. Carrefour can withdraw from Hua Xia, but not with this reputation. Being boycotted and having loopholes in management that allowed problematic products to enter were two different concepts. Once we are defeated because of this, the entire Carrefour Group will suffer a heavy blow. "
Luo Guowei said dejectedly. "I know, but I don't know what to do now."
Yes, he really did not know what to do.
It was not that he was weak, nor was he incompetent.
On one hand, it was the truth. On the other hand, Far away had been watching them.
Even if they wanted to keep the peace, Far away would not let it go.
Luo Guowei could feel that those lunatics had been watching them.
At this time, it would be wrong if they didn't do it, but if they did, they might make even more mistakes.
Chen Ying sighed. Chen Lang's smiling face flashed in her mind. After thinking for a moment, Chen Ying said, "We can only do our best now.
First, we cannot let everyone focus on us.
Get the Public Relations Department to take action immediately. We're not the only supermarket that sells milk powder. Pull out all the others.
Also, Sanlu and the other companies have to take the bullet for us.
Secondly, we cannot hide it. We have to deal with it actively.
Before a large number of test reports are out, before the situation reaches its peak, we have to be brave and take responsibility.
We can fail, but we want the world to know that Carrefour is a company that dares to take responsibility.
We have to take full responsibility for the children who got sick because they bought milk powder from Carrefour.
In addition, we also need to help them defend their rights and sue a few problematic dairy companies.
Thirdly, communicate with the local government. We are willing to provide money and manpower to solve the problem, but they have to control the development of public opinion and not let it continue to be led by people from afar.
"Fourth, we must talk to the local government. We are willing to pay for it, but they must control the development of public opinion.
It was an appropriate retreat to prepare for withdrawing from Huaxia and to eliminate the impact.
Don't they want to take over our stores?
Yes, but the premise is that they don't continue. Now, we have lost too many employees, and our performance is close to zero. Now that this situation has occurred, it can be said that it is all caused by Distance.
I am worried that they will do something else.
Carrefour's reputation cannot be completely destroyed. Mr. Luo, you should understand this. "
Luo Guowei was unwilling and angry.
But he understood that it was unavoidable to withdraw from Hua Xia.
Although the headquarters had not made up their mind, they had to wait for a few more days. They had no choice but to withdraw.
Once they withdrew, it would be as Chen Lang said. He must protect Carrefour's interests.
Luo Guowei did not hesitate. He straightened his clothes and said, "Then we will do as you say. Also, prepare for the press conference. I failed this time. I will take responsibility for my dereliction of duty, but I will do my best to limit the impact of this matter to the Huaxia region. Far away … contact them. Although I don't want to see those lunatics again, I have to admit that they are my savior. "
Chen Ying nodded. A smile appeared on her stiff face. "Mr. Luo, your Chinese is getting better."
"Is that so?"
Luo Guowei shrugged. "It's all because of you. Hua Xia likes to use words to kill. I didn't understand it in the past, but now I do. Words can really kill. It's better than billions of dollars. Although I hate Hua Xia, I will continue to learn Chinese when I go back. Do you know what I want to do now? "
Chen Ying added, "What do you want to do?"
"I want to stand in front of Li Dong and tell him loudly: Fils De Pute!"
Chen Ying frowned. "Mr. Luo, scolding people is a sign of low quality."
Luo Guowei didn't mind. "Anyway, I'm leaving. That lunatic is really annoying."
Chen Ying didn't say anything. Let him scold. Li Dong wouldn't know anyway.
Moreover, Luo Guowei was only scolding people here. If he dared to scold people in front of Li Dong, it would be fine if Li Dong didn't understand. If he did, Chen Ying suspected that Luo Guowei would be beaten to a pulp.
That guy is not a good-tempered guy. Chen Ying thought to herself.
…
On the 28th of April, when the incident was still brewing.
Carrefour held a press conference.
During the press conference, Luo Guowei admitted that there were loopholes in Carrefour's supervision. He would pursue the legal responsibility of several executives.
In addition, Luo Guowei announced an internal inspection report of Carrefour.
The report showed that Carrefour had inspected 16 types of milk powder. There were only three batches of milk powder with problems.
These three batches were all domestically produced milk powder.
Carrefour's supermarkets did not sell many domestic milk powder. Therefore, Luo Guowei was trying to tell everyone that they were not the most problematic among the problematic milk powder sellers.
Compared to Carrefour, the ones who sold the problematic milk powder in large quantities were other supermarkets.
In addition, Carrefour was willing to bear all the responsibility.
For those who bought milk powder from Carrefour and caused illnesses in their babies, Carrefour would take full responsibility and would never shirk responsibility.
Finally, Luo Guowei said that Carrefour would pursue the legal responsibility of the milk powder suppliers.
When the press conference was about to end, Luo Guowei, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly said to the camera, "Li, Far away will definitely become the number one retail company in Hua Xia!"
After saying this, Luo Guowei suppressed his frustration and left with a smug look.
…
Once Carrefour's press conference was released, regardless of whether the inspection report was released or not, the internet and the people were in an uproar.
In an instant, countless people posted posts to scold the major supermarkets and dairy companies.
Everyone's scolding was not enough to express everyone's anger. It was actually true!
Until now, other than Carrefour, no other supermarkets or dairy companies came forward to give an explanation.
The public was very angry, especially the parents!
The storm was getting bigger and bigger. Hua Xia's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine conducted a full batch quality inspection on all the major supermarkets' dairy products.
Distance Supermarket was also within the scope of inspection.
Li Dong did not care. Since he was prepared to attack others, he would not make this kind of mistake.
Over at Faraway Supermarket, Li Dong sent out the Ministry of Supervision to conduct quality inspection in hundreds of supermarkets.
When they found that there were no problems, Li Dong dared to blow the matter up.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen to expose the matter at this time. Li Dong would not do something that would bring trouble upon himself.
…
Provincial Party Committee Compound.
Shen Qian smiled bitterly, "You're famous again!"
Luo Guowei's last sentence at the press conference pushed Li Dong to the media.
Far away would become the number one retail company in Hua Xia. This was the conclusion given by the person in charge of the world's second largest retail supplier in Hua Xia.
In an instant, Li Dong had become the public enemy of Hua Xia's retail companies.
Especially China Resources, Bailian, Gome, and Suning. Don't forget that Far Away had not surpassed them yet.
Li Dong laid back on his chair and said lazily, "I'm used to it. Those who are not envied are mediocre. It doesn't matter if he said it or not. Furthermore, Far Away will become the number one sooner or later. Now that he said it, it's just to make Far Away more famous. There's nothing to worry about. "
Shen Qian sighed and said, "Li Dong, you've been too high-profile this year, and this is not a good thing.
Think about it. How much trouble have you caused since the beginning of the year?
It's only been less than three months since the New Year, and you've caused trouble in the capital, in Sichuan, and not long ago, you've caused trouble with Carrefour.
Now, in less than a month's time, you've made such a big commotion again.
I'm afraid the dairy industry hates you to the core, and so do the major supermarkets.
Not only them, but many of the local governments might also hate you to the core.
The dairy industry feeds so many people and provides so much tax revenue. Now that you've caused trouble, everyone will be in trouble.
Li Dong, stop it. I'm afraid of you. "
Li Dong said helplessly, "You can't blame me for this. It's just that I'm in a hurry. Furthermore, I've been standing on the high ground of justice these few times. Look, there are many good things about me on the internet now. Everyone is grateful to me, calling me the messenger of justice, the embodiment of light … "
"Stop!"
Shen Qian could not stand him anymore and sighed. "Pretend I didn't say anything. But I'm serious. You really have to stop. Yes, these few times are not your fault. But everyone has a different perspective, and the problems they consider are different. Just like this time, you can keep a low profile … "
Li Dong shook his head. "There's no use in keeping a low profile. If I really keep a low profile, those people will not take it seriously. Keeping the lid on the matter is what everyone hopes to do. But if I don't expose this matter now, it will become more serious sooner or later. At least this is the best outcome now. "
Li Dong was serious. Because he had exposed this matter in advance, no one had died, and the matter had not reached its peak.
At this time, the attack on Hua Xia's dairy industry was not as serious as in his previous life.
One had to know that after this incident in his previous life, the entire dairy industry suffered a devastating blow.
Because at that time, people died!
Because at that time, the first to expose it was a foreign company!
This time was different. This time, it was Hua Xia's people who exposed it, and foreign companies like Carrefour were involved.
In his previous life, everyone ignored all this and pointed the finger at the domestic dairy industry.
At that time, people happened to die, and that was how things developed.
Even companies like Meng Niu and Guangming almost did not survive that ordeal.
Especially Meng Niu. If not for their classmates' rescue, they might have really collapsed.
In this life, Meng Niu at least managed to salvage the situation and recalled some products a few days in advance.
The impact should not be as serious as in his previous life. Old Niu should be thankful to Li Dong.
Of course, these were all wishful thinking on Li Dong's part.
Now that Old Niu saw him, he would be lucky if he did not kill him.
Li Dong felt that he had saved Hua Xia's dairy industry, and he had a clear conscience. Furthermore, he had saved many people, and his conscience was clear.
As for what others thought, it was none of his business.
If anyone felt that Feng Yu had harmed everyone and wanted to go against him, they could come and try!
Chen Lang had already gone to Shanghai to discuss the acquisition of Carrefour. Once this matter was successful, Far Away would be able to achieve greater development.
Furthermore, Far Away had become the most famous and reputable company in the Chinese supermarket industry, and there would be a period of explosion in the future.
Li Dong felt that it should not be a problem to become the top supermarket company in the country this year.
If he became the top supermarket in the industry, and the annual sales of the supermarket exceeded 100 billion, not many people in the country could touch him.
The more he was attacked, the more Li Dong wanted to do it on a grand scale.
As long as the gap between him and the other party was huge, these people would not even think of going against him.
Sometimes, to destroy the enemy, one did not have to destroy them physically.
Mentally and in terms of resources, attacking the other party so that they did not dare to go against him was the best solution.
Seeing him like this, Shen Qian could not be bothered to persuade him. She hesitated for a moment and said, "My mother will be coming in two days. She wants to treat you to a meal. Do you want to go?"
"Of course!"
Li Dong did not hesitate. He laughed and said, "This is the first time your mother has taken the initiative to treat me to a meal. It's an honor. It seems that I, Li Dong, have finally entered your mother's eyes."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Moreover, didn't I have a meal with you in the past?"
"That's different. In the past, your mother was always looking for trouble. This time, I don't think she's looking for trouble …"
Shen Qian glared at him and was too lazy to say more to him.
However, this time, Shen Xuehua took the initiative to invite Li Dong to a meal. Her attitude was indeed much better.
Li Dong's business had really grown to the point that even Shen Xuehua could not call him a "bumpkin."
The total assets of the current Faraway Group may have exceeded 100 billion.
Of course, the net assets were definitely not this number.
But Faraway should be close to entering a 100 billion group. Maybe not now, but at most within a year. Shen Xuehua felt that it should be about time.
At this time, who would still call the boss of a 100 billion group a "bumpkin"?
Those who really said so were fools.
For a private enterprise to reach this point, even if it did not dare to say that it was the first in the country, it was at least at the top.
Li Dong used four years to bring Faraway to this point. At this moment, no one would underestimate him.
