Li Zeyu was slobbering as he described the capital city, which was getting out of control, while Sun Dapao and others were listening and eating and drinking white wine with large pieces of meat in their hands without a care.
It seems that the scene described by Li Zeyu has been used to it for a long time, and there is nothing new about it.
That's right, Sun Dapao, Tang Wei and others have been living in the capital for half a year. When they have nothing to do, they like to go out and wander around. They have visited almost half of the capital.
Shen Dapeng smiled slightly. After listening to what Li Zeyu said, even Lin Xiaoxiao on the side became a little impatient. After gently twisting Li Zeyu's arm, he waved his hand gently.
"Yes, the capital is indeed a good place. It is indeed much better to develop here than to stay in Qingshu County. This is why I suggested that the company move south."
As soon as Shen Dapeng finished speaking, Li Zeyu frowned and reached out to interrupt Shen Dapeng's words.
"Brother Peng, listen to me talk a few more words. I support the company's move to the south, but today I went out for a walk and found some problems, and these problems may be detrimental to us..."
There was no wave on Shen Dapeng's calm face, and he nodded slightly as if he was calm. He looked at Li Zeyu and motioned for him to continue speaking.
“It’s still because of SARS!”
Li Zeyu sighed, first made a concluding sentence, and then continued: "Last night we went to that food street, and I just heard you say that because of SARS, there were very few people eating out. Today I went out and saw it for myself
As far as I can see, let alone all kinds of restaurants, there are clothing stores, shopping malls, etc., and the flow of people is really too little."
"Many shopping malls and shops are not small, and the doors are open, but there are only a few stunned customers. There are more shop assistants than customers. Even those people who come out on the street wear tight masks because they have to do something.
, as if everyone is a patient with a bad cold and cannot see the wind."
Sun Dapao laughed, "This situation has been going on for half a month. You don't know, many schools and office buildings are closed, and entry and exit must be strictly inspected. Otherwise, we wouldn't be operating this express delivery company."
"Yeah, so it's still the same sentence. If a tree moves a tree, a dead person moves a life. If Brother Peng and I hadn't come out and stayed in school, we would have been exhausted long ago. Where is the express delivery company that is doing well today?
All living expenses come from this place.”
Tang Wei also said happily.
Shen Dapeng smiled and said: "The situation is similar. I went out for a walk this afternoon and found that many migrant workers who came to work in the city have begun to leave the capital. The horror of SARS has made people panic. If this continues, those who
There are no workers at the construction site."
"Isn't it? Brother Peng, haven't we been delivering fast food recently? I heard from my brothers who deliver fast food to office buildings that many companies in office buildings have holidays. For those companies that don't have holidays, some people in the company have
Some quit their jobs, and some simply asked for leave, unwilling to go to work even if they stayed at home."
Sun Dapao followed Shen Dapeng's words and started shouting.
Li Zeyu frowned even more when he heard this, "Brother Peng, the same is true in our Qingshu County. Although it is not as powerful as the capital city, I also felt it before coming here. The SARS caused a lot of trouble, even for some people who usually like to visit each other. Now
They no longer dare to hang out, and some relatives have stopped moving around for fear of being infected."
Shen Dapeng nodded. He could feel that SARS was at its most violent at this stage. During this period, he was also paying attention to TV every day, and the number of deaths broadcast every day was increasing day by day.
It seems that not only the capital but also the whole country is now in panic. Like ants on a hot pot, life has been affected to varying degrees, let alone working hard and doing business.
However, at this time, Shen Dapeng sees it as an excellent opportunity.
He absolutely cannot miss it.
"What are you afraid of? Our southward migration plan will not be greatly affected." Shen Dapeng gave Li Zeyu a confident smile.
"Well, Brother Peng, before I came here, I really had high hopes. I didn't believe that the Little Lotus Pond Hotpot was still popular in the capital. But after observing it today, I felt a little bit nervous. You said, no one came to eat.
, how to make money?”
Li Zeyu's words were filled with worry.
Shen Dapeng pointed to the ground and smiled slightly.
Li Zeyu was stunned for a moment, thinking there was something on the ground, so he lowered his head and started looking for it.
"Okay, stop looking." Shen Dapeng couldn't help but feel happy, "Big head, let me use an analogy. You should broaden your horizons. Don't be like the ants on the ground who only focus on the place in front of you."
"What do you mean?" Li Zeyu was stunned.
"Big head, think about it, now that we are going to open a Xiaohetang branch in Beijing, will the store rental fee be much cheaper?" Shen Dapeng reminded.
Li Zeyu nodded, "It's very cheap, much cheaper than I thought, so I plan to rent another store tomorrow."
"That's right. The SARS outbreak in Beijing has caused housing prices to be very low. Whether it's renting or buying a house, now is a good opportunity to buy one. Do you admit this?"
Li Zeyu nodded again, "Yes, I knew about this before, and we also talked about this when my aunt had a meeting, but the problem is, who knows when SARS will end, maybe it will get worse and worse, if it doesn't end
If so..."
When Li Zeyu said this, the worry on his face became even more serious, "Although the cost of the store is not high, we need to purchase tables and chairs, hot pot equipment and recruit waiters. Apart from other things, we dare not calculate the cost of just one day. If this
If it goes on endlessly, won’t this be a waste of money?”
The rest of the people couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard Li Zeyu's words. They had never thought about this problem before.
If what Li Zeyu said is true, this terrifying SARS cannot be controlled and continues to spread, who knows what year and month it will take?
Don't talk about doing business by then, I'm afraid your life will not be saved.
The number of deaths is reported every day on TV. Who knows when it will be his turn?
After Li Zeyu finished speaking, the lively atmosphere just now suddenly froze. Everyone stopped talking, stopped picking up food with chopsticks, and looked at each other, with a look of fear on each other's faces.
Of course Shen Dapeng felt this dull and depressing atmosphere, and he smiled lightly.
Li Zeyu, Tang Wei, Sun Dapao and the others did not know that this was normal. Unlike themselves, they had not experienced previous lives, so they did not know that in a few months, with the joint efforts of the government and hospitals, this unprecedented SARS would be completely controlled.
