Chinanews, August 25. According to the WeChat public account of Italy's "New European Overseas Chinese", in the post-epidemic era, pessimists are cautiously watching, while optimists are actively hunting down the bottom. In this sense, the Chinese have no shortage of optimists who go upstream.
A recent sample survey of 1.38 million companies in Italy showed that after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the lockdown measures have brought severe damage to the economy. Almost 60% of companies expect to be in financial difficulties in the next six months. This is particularly true in the tourism, catering, fashion and service industries.
For investors, this is by no means the best time; but for some Chinese, crisis is also an opportunity.
Recently, a Chinese hypermarket has opened in the Vomero district of Naples. Allegedly, this store belongs to a Chinese chain group, and the staff recruited are all Italian workers. The Chinese business courage impressed the locals. The same courage also appeared in the Veneto region.
A long-established bar in Adria, Rovigo Province, Veneto, is about to change ownership. The owner, Vanda, took over the bar in 1990. For 30 years, he started to take care of the bar in the morning, "six in the morning and nine in the evening". Now he is finally about to unload the burden. It is reported that it was a Chinese couple who opened a restaurant who took over the bar. They will be the new owners of the bar from September 1. In the face of doubts about whether it was transferred out because of bad business now, Vanda said that this was a decision made last year. Chinese buyers are also very firm and will introduce old customers to them one by one.
At present, the Italian government has adopted subsidy measures for the industries hardest hit by the epidemic, but it still needs a process to get the subsidies in place. Under this background, it requires more courage and innovative awareness of businesses to get out of the crisis. A second generation of overseas Chinese in Milan said that there are also business opportunities in the crisis. If you prepare in advance, you can also smell business opportunities from the crisis.
He believes that for many young Milanese, now is not an opportunity to start a business. In fact, you can open a restaurant with very little investment, and some restaurants can even deliver it to the receiver with zero transfer fees. Catering entrepreneurship requires personal will, experience and ability. For practitioners, personal will and experience are more important, and both of them can be improved and controlled by themselves. Although affected by the epidemic, the number of newly registered companies was less than last year, but in the first half of this year, there were still 6119 more companies than those from Guanzhang. Behind the crisis, there will always be opportunities, but those who seize the opportunities must be prepared with both hands.
