Chapter 395: Open an online celebrity instant noodle
Beginning on April 11, all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. have entered a "major disaster state", which is the first time in the history of the United States that the entire territory has entered a "major disaster state".
On April 16, federal authorities released "open again" guidelines, hoping to fully reopen the economy in three phases. President XP, the authority, said he wants to reopen states by May 1, and some states with less severe outbreaks may open earlier.
Time passed without knowing it in isolation for another half a month. It was late April. After taking medication, Joseph actually recovered. The emergency doctor said that fortunately, he was in good health, and there were no complications.
Of course, their timely treatment and care was also the main reason why Joseph successfully passed the gate of hell. In order to reassure everyone, he also tested it with the test box sent to him by Lin Zidan.
After recovering, Joseph still can't go out and has to continue self-isolation. During this time, Lin Zidan will still send him some food every now and then.
Because Joseph was really not good at cooking, Lin Zidan sent a lot of instant noodles to him, with all kinds of flavors, and taught him how to eat them with a video method. After several experiments, Joseph actually knew how to add instant noodles to it Eggs up!
Because Lin Zidan's instant noodles are not in the warehouse of the supermarket, and they are independent storage locations, he can go to his warehouse to pick them up at any time during the epidemic, and he doesn't need to rush to buy food with the general public.
But things like vegetables that can’t be kept for a long time, after more than a month of consumption, will soon disappear. Xiao Zheng from the supermarket went to check it out. Except for frozen meat, most of the vegetables and fruits are useless. It has to be thrown away.
Looking at the seriousness of the epidemic day by day, on April 24, 2020, the number of confirmed diagnoses in the entire United States has reached 890,000, and the death toll has exceeded 50,000.
New York City has 145,000 confirmed cases and more than 16,000 deaths. Some even say that at least one-fifth of New York's people are infected.
This epidemic not only took away many innocent lives, but also brought many small businesses and low-income people into despair, so many places and many people want to return to work.
However, because New York State is the hardest hit area, both the governor and the mayor of New York continue to require democracy to keep a distance and wear masks before going out, which has also eased the epidemic in New York a little bit.
After a series of economic stimulus measures, U.S. stocks have begun to fall again, and have risen for a period of time. According to professional analysis, this is because the impact of the epidemic is only temporary, and it is the so-called short-term pain.
However, affected by the four circuit breakers in March, economists still advise investors to act cautiously. After all, the circuit breaker means that the market is worried about the economic prospects of the United States, and even the Fed's zero interest rate and quantitative easing policies cannot alleviate external concerns. .
On April 20, due to the impact of the epidemic, with the introduction of home quarantine orders in many countries, demand plummeted, and the crude oil market also collapsed.
There are various signs that show the far-reaching impact of the epidemic on the global economy. Many people compare the epidemic to the fourth world war. Many people have an idea that the goal of this year is very simple: not to make money , is alive!
-------------------------
It is not easy for many restaurants or restaurants, especially those run by Chinese, to get rent-free. However, affected by the epidemic, Lin Zidan's shops, unless the business is still open, can receive very little rent.
There are very few low-rent housing and other rental apartments, and many people take the deposit to cover the rent and delay it month by month.
After nearly two months of isolation, Lin Zidan's current asset income has almost stopped, but the bank loans have not decreased at all. The nearly 200 million loan for the construction of low-cost housing and commercial buildings has still to be repaid.
In addition, all real estate loans and property taxes must be paid on time, and the monthly income reduction is not less than 5 million, but the monthly expenditure is also a very large number.
In particular, the employees of the two supermarkets are basically of Chinese descent. Many people suggested to Xiao Zheng to open the door early. First, because everyone was quarantined for too long, they felt bored. Second, many people were financially stressed and urgently needed to go out to work to earn money. .
Especially on April 23, the Chinese community suddenly heard that the Brooklyn Eighth Avenue had opened, so the willingness of workers to go to work was unprecedentedly strong.
Lin Zidan learned about it. It turned out that because of the recent improvement in the epidemic data in New York, the Chinese community on Eighth Avenue in Brooklyn has really come back to life.
Especially the 57th to 58th streets in the core of the business district, the seafood, vegetables and fruits business is booming, and the crowd gathers. On the 23rd, there were too many vehicles parked in double rows, causing traffic jams on the Eighth Avenue.
This has caused everyone's concern to some extent. Earning money is important, but life is more precious.
In order to protect employees, Lin Zidan first spent a lot of money to purchase a lot of anti-epidemic materials from China, and asked someone to install special protective facilities at the cashier.
It was delayed until the end of May, after the outbreak in New York continued to improve, before allowing one of the two supermarkets to reopen, but the time was limited between 10:00 and 5:00 p.m., and all shoppers must observe precautions and social distancing.
By concentrating the manpower of two supermarkets into one supermarket, even if the overall price is raised, the profit can only barely equalize the income, that is to say, his supermarket hardly makes any money.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, two of his original four farms were maliciously damaged by workers, and many vegetables had to be wholesaled from other farms, which once again lowered the profits of the supermarket.
If this situation continues, Lin Zidan's supermarket will be no different from being a charity organization.
But looking at the enthusiastic employees, he really couldn't make a decision to close the door. In the end, he had to slowly lay off employees or reduce their salary. However, the difficulty is that many employees would rather have a salary cut than take the initiative to leave.
With the growing deficit, Lin Zidan had to sell some of his stocks to pay loans and property taxes.
At this time, the U.S. stock market experienced a severe setback and a rise, and then fell again. Lin Zidan finally had to reluctantly sell all the 400,000 shares that had to die at a price of $145.13.
---------------------
Fortunately, during the quarantine period, whether it was Grandpa Lin in China or the Li Manrui family in the United States, everyone was healthy, thanks to Lin Zidan's protection.
On weekdays, all the food and necessities of Lin Zidan are sent back and forth after John is protected. Once there is contact with outsiders, John will go back to his single apartment to isolate himself, and then Xiao An and Kyle will take turns to make supplies for each family. After sending ~lightnovelpub.net~ months, many shopping malls and stores began to try to open. Except for those luxury stores that continued to close, the stores needed for ordinary life were reopened one after another.
In order to make up for the losses during the epidemic, the prices of many restaurants and stores have increased, and the supermarket in Linzidan has also increased a lot, but it is still the most affordable in the surrounding supermarkets year-on-year, so it will soon lose the previous price war. attracted the guests back.
After nearly 3 months of stagnation, the entire economy of the United States has slowly begun to flow, but it is far from the level of making money. Most businesses are still struggling to maintain a balance of payments.
It was also under such circumstances that Lin Zidan accidentally took over a medium-sized restaurant in Midtown Manhattan under the address company's name. The owner of the restaurant made millions of dollars because of the non-stop takeaway during the epidemic. In the middle of the month, I suddenly felt exhausted and almost died of a heart attack.
After recovering from the illness, the Chinese-American boss said: "Money can't be earned, but living is the most important thing!"
So he gave the entire store to Lin Zidan except for his license.
