In the business world,The relationship between parent and subsidiary is usually regarded as a "family" connected by blood, but the story between Chongqing Beer and its shareholding subsidiary, Chongqing Jiawei Beer***, is more like a "family strife" drama full of grievances and hatreds. The two sides have repeatedly gone to court due to entanglements of interests, and have not yet reached a settlement, which has become a major attraction in the business community.
The dispute began in 2020, when Chongqing Jiawei sued Chongqing Beer and Carlsberg Heavy Beer in court, with a claim amount of up to 82.2 billion yuan. At the heart of the dispute was a 20-year Product Underwriting Framework Agreement. According to the agreement, Chongqing Beer is responsible for underwriting the "Shancheng" brand beer produced by Chongqing Jiawei. However, with the changes in the market environment and the adjustment of the business strategies of both parties, the two sides have serious differences in underwriting** and quantity.
Chongqing Jiawei thinksChongqing Beer suffered from the price difference between underwriting its beer and selling its own beer, which resulted in the loss of its profits. Chongqing Beer, on the other hand, insisted that there was no price difference and accused Chongqing Jiawei of failing to fulfill its obligations under the agreement. The two sides went back and forth, each insisting on their own words, and finally went to court.
This lawsuit not only involves huge economic interests, but also exposes the deep-seated contradictions between the parent and subsidiary in operation and management. In the business world, the relationship between parent and subsidiary is usually based on equity and control, but the dispute between Chongqing Beer and Chongqing Jiawei shows us that even closely related "families" can become aliens in the face of business interests.
This controversy has brought us profound enlightenmentIn business cooperation, whether it is a parent-subsidiary or other forms of partnership, it needs to be based on equality, fairness and mutual benefit. Only in this way can we ensure the long-term stability of cooperation and the common development of both sides. At the same time, enterprises should also strengthen internal management and risk control to avoid unnecessary legal disputes and economic losses caused by internal contradictions.
YetFor Chongqing Beer and Chongqing Jiawei, the top priority is to seek reconciliation and common development. The two sides should put aside their previous suspicions, sit down and negotiate to find the best solution to the problem. Only in this way can we resolve this protracted "family dispute" and achieve win-win development.
