Big Blue Sees Red

摘要

Walmart is increasing its investment in the holding company of Yihaodian, an e-commerce Web site in China, to solidify its supply chain presence within the country. Launched in July 2008, the online retailer offers more than 180,000 SKUs, predominantly in grocery sales, consumer electronics, and apparel. With an existing logistics network based in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Chengdu, Yihaodian serves an expanding customer base with same- and next-day delivery-an ideal foil for the U.S. big box retailer.
