Judging from the public opinion in the retail industry, everyone is generally optimistic about the cooperation between JD.COM and Wal-Mart. This is truly equal and win-win cooperation, and the value and prospect of cooperation are far better than the unequal cooperation between Ali and Suning. The two companies that know the most about retailing on earth have come together, which has changed the retail history of China and is destined to change the retail model and retail map of China in the future.
Before the social e-commerce cooperation between Tencent in JD.COM and Wal-Mart in JD.COM, JD.COM had the support of traffic and the new support of offline supply chain and global supply chain. JD.COM Supermarket, JD.COM Fresh Food and Xindada are three direct beneficiaries of Wal-Mart in JD.COM, and Xindada is the biggest beneficiary of the cooperation between the two parties. Sundada will have the exclusive cooperative resources of Wal-Mart China Store.
Wal-Mart has an offline retail network covering the core cities of China, and its stores have outstanding advantages. However, the lack of home delivery capacity makes Wal-Mart unable to keep up with the tide of retail reform in the O2O era. Offline retailing is a large-scale and low-profit business. Although Wal-Mart is a Fortune 500 company, it is still a dime. It is impossible to expand Wal-Mart's customer coverage only by relying on offline stores, which often only affects the business circle around a few kilometers.
This can also be said to be a win-win cooperation. Although it seems to be a commercial cooperation between the two companies, the convenience brought to our people is immeasurable. I hope they can make our life more convenient.
