超市巨頭互告!Kroger反擊Albertsons,合併破局後續燃戰火




美國超市連鎖Kroger控告Albertsons

美國超市連鎖Kroger於週二反控Albertsons,這一法律鬥爭在去年12月他們提議的250億美元合併計劃破裂後愈演愈烈。Albertsons在法院阻止合併後立即終止了這項交易,並控告Kroger違反合約,導致交易失敗。

這一正式終止結束了兩家超市連鎖在合併上的兩年努力,監管機構指出這項交易將消除競爭,導致價格上漲並降低工會工人的談判能力。

去年12月,Albertsons要求賠償數十億美元,並要求支付6億美元的終止費用,而Kroger則稱這些索賠毫無根據。

Kroger表示,Albertsons與買家C&S Wholesale Grocers之間展開了一場運動,試圖推進自己的監管策略。Kroger指出,Albertsons的失當行為在反壟斷審判期間曝光,當時正接受政府的交叉詢問,Albertsons最近提拔的首席執行官候選人Susan Morris也在場。

Kroger強調,由於Albertsons的“失當行為”,其無權要求終止費或其他賠償。

Albertsons則在回應中表示,Kroger的弱勢索賠是故意的策略,旨在轉移注意力,掩蓋其自身在執行合約義務上的持續失敗,以及避免支付其應負的賠償。

在三月初,Kroger的首席執行官Rodney McMullen因董事會調查發現其個人行為與公司政策不符而辭職。同一天,Albertsons宣佈其首席執行官Vivek Sankaran將退休,內部提拔的Morris將接任。

Kroger指出,反控訴的目的是尋求從Albertsons那裡獲得賠償,以彌補其為獲得合併監管批准所做的投資。Kroger在反控訴中還提到,看起來Albertsons早在交易結束之前就已經將重心轉向當前的法律鬥爭,而不是推進合併。

然而,Albertsons在週二表示,從一開始就“致力於合併的成功”,反而是Kroger未能履行其合約的責任。Albertsons表示:“我們期待在法庭上展示我們的案例。”

在這場法律鬥爭中,不僅涉及合併的商業利益,更反映了企業治理和管理層的信任危機。Kroger和Albertsons的這場對抗不僅是法律上的博弈,也是對各自企業未來發展路徑的重大考驗。隨著市場競爭加劇,兩家公司如何應對內部問題以及外部壓力,將成為未來的一大看點。這也提醒了投資者,企業的穩定性和領導層的能力對長期投資至關重要。

In his left hand, he holds a black selfie stick, while his right grasps the paragliding control lines. The stunning backdrop features crystal-clear turquoise and deep blue ocean revealing intricate coral reefs and gentle breaking waves near a pristine white sandy beach. A charming coastal town with numerouswhite buildings is nestled against lush, emerald-green, tree-covered hills, which ascend to distant, hazy mountains under a softly clouded sky. Another yellow paraglider gracefully soars in the distance, and a long concrete pier extends into the tranquil water. The scene is illuminated by bright, diffused natural light, creating an exhilarating, free-spirited, and idyllic tropical mood, with a color palette dominated by vivid turquoises, deep blues, and verdant greens, beautifully contrastedby the crisp whites of the beach and town, and the bold reds of his clothing and footwear. Certainly! Here’s an enhanced, detailed, and artistic prompt tailored for an AI image generator:

---

Create a highly detailed, artistic portrait of a young East Asian woman embodying a “Imada Mio-inspired” doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large, sparkling round eyes full of warmth and expression, a delicate V-shaped face with soft contours, and subtly flushed, rosy cheeks. Her lips are naturally plump and softly tinted, and her facial expression combines innocence, playful energy, and a touch of flirtatiousness.

Her hair is long, dark brown, and appears tousled as if she has just awakened—soft, voluminous, and gently messy (剛睡醒的凌亂感). Stray strands fall around her delicate face and shoulders, capturing the texture and natural flow of freshly mussed morning hair.

She is dressed in an oversized, translucent white men’s button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), with the top buttons casually undone to reveal delicate collarbones and a hint of bare skin beneath, evoking a sensual yet pure “bottomless” (下衣失蹤風格) look. The shirt drapes gracefully, with natural folds and slight translucency, enhancing the softness and allure of the scene.

The overall mood is inspired by elegant Japanese Gravure photobook aesthetics (寫真集風格), radiating a Pure & Sexy charm. Use soft, luminous, high-key natural lighting to bathe her in a gentle glow, imparting a creamy, flawless, and porcelain-like skin texture. Emulate the timeless Fujifilm PRO 400H film tones with pastel coloration, subtle pinks and blues, and a carefully balanced color palette, giving the image a dreamy and refined photographic quality. The composition should feel intimate and inviting, expertly capturing both innocence and understated seduction, with fine attention to detail and artistry.
