Carrefour.
It was Europe's largest and the world's second largest, second only to Walmart, with more than 11000 stores worldwide.
He entered China in 1995 and WH City in 1998. After that, it blossomed everywhere. It was a place that both young and old liked to visit. It could also be considered the memories of the 80s and 90s.
The first Carrefour in WH City was located on Hanyang Avenue. It was only a 20-minute drive away.
After parking the car in the underground garage, the three of them took the elevator to the second floor.
To the Chinese, the structure of the supermarket broke the rigid model of the traditional department store. It was no longer a place that only sold clothes and groceries, but a multi-functional shopping area that gathered leisure, food, and shopping.
Once the two women entered, they could not stop at all.
As there was no such thing as a shopping cart, they each took a basket and plunged into the sea of snacks. They even left their sugar daddy, Lin Meng, behind and went shopping crazily.
This also showed how magical shopping in the supermarket was for people nowadays.
Seeing this scene, Lin Meng only smiled and shook his head.
It was good for them to walk around by themselves, so as not to drag him along to suffer.
Without the two girls disturbing him, Lin Meng decided to shop alone in the supermarket.
He was a person who liked to think. Normally, when people entered a supermarket, they would first want to let themselves go and shop to their heart's content. However, Lin Meng was different. He was thinking about how to build his own supermarket chain.
Around 1995, European and American supermarket brands began to enter China. By 2000, Han supermarkets also entered the Chinese market, and 95% of the market was in the hands of Europe, America, and Korea.
Basically, none of the brands belonged to China. It was not until around 2005 that brands such as China Resources, Huilian, and Yonghui were established. It was only around 2015 that these local brands could truly compete with European and American brands.
Supermarkets are a profitable industry. Walmart, which we are familiar with, relied on its glory for a hundred years to make its family the richest family in the world. One can imagine how much profit there is.
And China was the largest market in the world. Once they occupied the Chinese market, they would be on equal footing with Walmart.
" There are no fruit and vegetable areas, no fresh food areas, no cinemas, no arcade. There are too many categories, poor management, expensive transportation costs, and inconvenient purchasing. Compared to the supermarkets of the future, it's still too far away.”
Lin Meng noticed a problem every time he went to a place.
"No wonder they were defeated by Yonghui and even chased out of the Chinese market. These old European and American supermarkets really don't know how to be innovative.”
Lin Meng sneered.
Any European brand that came to China would be equally arrogant. They thought that Chinese people were easy to fool and would sell them at a high price if they didn't create new products. They treated Chinese people as fools.
In the end, they all suffered the consequences of being chased out of the Chinese market. This was the outcome of arrogance.
"I can consider building a supermarket. Fatty Wang has already started to monopolize the farmer's market. At that time, I will have a unique advantage. Coupled with the 20 years of experience here, it will be difficult for me not to win against these pig-like European and American brands.”
Lin Meng's lips curled up.
If he could buy fresh fruits and vegetables in his supermarket, there would be a game area, a cinema, good service, and convenient transportation. Would the people still go to those garbage supermarkets run by Westerners?
The result was obvious.
? Moreover, even if they wanted to imitate him, the farmer's market was in his hands. These Westerners had no way of purchasing.
Without the most important fresh fruits and vegetables area, they were destined to lose to him.
"After Fatty Wang takes down all the farmers 'markets in the south, I'll start working on the supermarket.”
Lin Meng made a decision.
After walking around for a while, Lin Meng decided to wait for the two girls at the cashier area.
He leaned against the armrest and smoked.
"Hmm? This person…"
A man in his thirties was walking towards them, and Lin Meng felt that something was wrong.
It was not because of anything else, but Lin Meng could feel a hint of madness in his eyes.
He was holding a pile of snacks in his hands as he stood in line in front of Lin Meng.
Lin Meng stared at him.
Sensing Lin Meng's gaze, the man glanced at him. After sensing no ill intentions from Lin Meng, he turned around and continued to line up.
After a while, it was finally the man's turn to pay.
The man stood there for a while and found it difficult to speak. However, he still managed to say with difficulty,""I'm sorry, my daughter is sick. I don't have money to buy food for her. I want to put these things on credit, but don't worry, when I have money, I'll definitely return them to you.”
Hearing the man's ridiculous words, the supermarket salesperson was stunned. Then, she smiled bitterly and said,"Sir, don't joke around. I'm just a small employee. I don't have the right to give you credit.”
The man shook his head." I'm not joking. My daughter is starving. If you don't believe me, I can mortgage my military officer's certificate here. I'll redeem it when I have the money."”
The man placed a navy blue booklet in front of the salesperson.
"Sir, please don't make things difficult for me."”
When the salesperson rejected him for the second time, Lin Meng saw the man clench his fist.
"I don't want to fight, but I don't want my daughter to go hungry.”
The man said in a deep voice.
"What?"
The salesperson was stunned.
"Bang!"
A shocking sound rang out. Under the horrified eyes of the crowd, including the salesperson, the iron railing bent strangely and flew out.
This man actually bent the iron!
The man punched the obstacle away and prepared to leave with a pile of snacks.
"Ah! Robbery! Quickly stop him."
The salesperson finally reacted and shouted at the security guard at the door.
At this time, it was still in the stage of a strict strike. There were quite a lot of security guards in the supermarket. Hearing the scream, a dozen security guards with taser sticks rushed out and surrounded the man.
At this moment, the entire supermarket was in chaos. When they heard that it was a robbery, they ran out of the supermarket with all their might.
Only Lin Meng remained calm as he continued to watch indifferently.
"Put down the things in your hands and squat down with your hands on your head!”
After the security guards surrounded the man, they ordered him to squat down.
"My daughter is starving to death. I just want to bring some food home for her. I'll make up for the money for the food in the future.”
The man's voice was still calm. Others couldn't tell, but Lin Meng could see the seriousness in his eyes. It was a man's promise.
"Stop talking nonsense. Put down the things in your hands and squat down with your hands on your head!”
The security guard still ignored him and scolded.
"I don't want to hurt ordinary people."
The calmness in the man's eyes finally disappeared, replaced by a touch of blood.
"Robbing a supermarket, resist him and subdue him!”
The security captain lost his patience and shouted at the other members.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people swarmed up and whipped the electric batons at the man.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing this scene, the snacks in the man's hands scattered all over the ground.
Lin Meng's eyes jumped!
He saw the man roar angrily. His clothes were torn, and his veins burst, revealing his steel-like muscles. He was as terrifying as a furious Vajra.
"Puff!"
"Pa!"
"Ah!"
The man made his move.
None of the security guards could last a round in the hands of the man, even if they had electric batons. In a short while, more than ten people were lying on the ground. This scene stunned the salesperson.
After easily dealing with these security guards, the man finally regained his calm. He returned to his original spot, picked up the snacks scattered on the ground, and prepared to leave.
