China News Service, April 20. According to the Argentine Chinese website, although some large supermarket chains have online sales services in Argentina, for small and medium-sized Chinese supermarkets, this field seems to have never been touched. However, with the changes in the epidemic, the owners of Chinese supermarkets have to change their business strategies and expand their operations through mobile phone communication software delivery and even online ordering.

  According to media reports, some Chinese supermarkets have opened their own webpages, listing cleaning products, hygiene products, non-perishable food and beverages and other products on it. A Chinese supermarket in Chinatown in Putra City also announced a new shopping method a few days ago. Customers can place an order through Whatsapp and deliver it to their home.

  A person in charge of a Chinese supermarket association said: "We are developing a platform where users can check prices and purchase combination products online. There will be 1,500 merchants including the capital, Dabu City, La Prada City and Yinhai City to join . Our idea is to officially launch from May 15 to June 1, and orders can be placed within 24 to 48 hours. "

  It is reported that the epidemic forced many Chinese businessmen to go out of business, but the uncertainty of the end of the epidemic also forced many Chinese businessmen to make changes to survive.

  The above-mentioned person in charge of the Chinese Supermarket Association said that the main problem nowadays is out of stock. "Normally, there are 5 to 6 suppliers delivering goods every day, and now it is at most twice a week; in addition, many community shops purchase from wholesalers, but now the goods are delivered at the highest price, and the profits are limited.

  According to its explanation, many Chinese supermarkets chose to close their business because of concerns about virus infection, seizure, and social security. But challenges are always accompanied by opportunities, and online sales may also open a new window for Chinese merchants. (Huang Dong)
