Wal-Mart to Take Controlling Share in Chinese e-commerce Firm

American supermarket giants, Wal-Mart are set to take a controlling share in Chinese e-commerce firm Yihaodian.

It has come as the world’s biggest merchant looks for different sales solutions. This is in an attempt to ward off rising competition in what is the world’s largest and fastest developing major market. The move comes; unsurprisingly two-weeks after Wal-Mart declared their new head of the company’s China operations.

This at last ends a number of different management changes at the business. They have been recently tainted by food scandals which include a mislabelling of pork ‘issue’ in 2011 that resulted in a number of of their China stores being temporarily closed.

The newest purchase from Wal-Mart is going to take their stake in the business, subject to Government regulatory approval, to 51% and despite the lack of financial details released by Wal-Mart it still isn’t obvious what Wal-Mart’s prior investment was and just how much this has cost them.

Using this you can expect that there is going to be a rise in e-commerce from other global companies in an attempt to increase their income. Not a lot of businesses have an e-commerce site and will probably be missing out on a reasonably large volume of sales and business.

If youd like an e-commerce site then you should look at getting in touch with an ecommerce web design agency wholl be in a position to develop something for you that you will undoubtedly benefit from. If you’re based in the North West then you should make contact with NuBlue.
