The fourth Conference of Great Business Partners is scheduled for Oct 29 to 31 in Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, with approximately 600 guests from around the world expected to attend.

Ou Huibei, vice-president of Metro Supermarket in China, has been invited to the conference. Ou stated that "seeking harmony and achieving win-win with cooperation" is not only the essence of Confucian philosophy but also plays a significant role in business success.

"Shandong is a hot spot for investment in China, with a huge potential consumer market. As an economic powerhouse and an important base for agriculture and manufacturing nationwide, it offers our retail and wholesale enterprises rich resource advantages," Ou said.

Metro Supermarket has been expanding in Shandong for 24 years. It has established stable partnerships with suppliers and farmers across the province, while promoting remarkable Shandong products nationwide through its supply chains, which offers a testament to the "harmonious coexistence", she added.
