China News Service, April 28. According to the US "World Daily" report, due to the continued outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia, many businesses throughout Southern California have been suspended for more than a month. When to resume work has become a hot topic recently discussed by local Chinese businessmen. Many Chinese businessmen worry that the most difficult time may begin after resuming work.
Sean, the head of Sichuan Restaurant "Ziwei Chengdu", which has branches in many cities in South China's Chinese District, said that the restaurant is temporarily closed, but plans to resume work soon. He believes that after the resumption of work, the life of the catering industry may be very difficult.
He explained that on the one hand, the United States does not necessarily have retaliatory consumption, after all, everyone's income is affected. At the same time, when the United States resumes work, the epidemic may not have completely disappeared, and consumers are still more worried, so they will not patronize restaurants as usual.
In addition, he believes that the most important thing is that many restaurants do not pay rent now. After opening, the rent during the closure period needs to be paid up, which also brings great pressure to catering practitioners. As the takeaway business may grow, restaurants are also researching new systems to cope with the takeout model.
Xu Jian, a Chinese businessman operating a hotel in Pasadena, said that because of the epidemic situation, the economy of Pasadena has been greatly affected, and the municipal government is also facing a severe test. Both sales tax and hotel tax revenue are much less than before. . The current problem facing Pakistan is only the tip of the iceberg in California. Everyone must be mentally prepared in the coming year.
However, Xu Jian is also optimistic that as a merchant, he must remain sensitive to the environment during the crisis and seek new business opportunities. (Li Xue)
