Chinanews.com, December 10th. According to the US "World Journal" report, in the United States, due to the increasing popularity of the new crown pneumonia vaccine, the sales market of epidemic prevention materials has changed, and a large amount of epidemic prevention supplies has appeared in some stocks. Chinese businessmen in China would rather bear the pain and ignore their own losses, and give the existing anti-epidemic masks, hand sanitizer and other anti-epidemic materials to the public for free.
These Chinese businessmen pointed out that there may be factors such as price changes and expiration of warehouse leases, but they emphasized that they also have the intention to contribute to society during the epidemic.
Recently, in the Chinese WeChat Moments, a post has been widely circulated, the content is that a business in Ontario provides free high-quality COVID-19 protective masks, but interested parties must bring their own hands and tools to pick up the goods.
The post also said, “Some people have gone, and there are still a lot of quantities. Because they can’t sell them and the factory has to withdraw the rent, there is an urgent need for someone to empty the masks. There are nearly 20,000 boxes piled up in the warehouse.”
The reporter followed the line a few days ago and found that the warehouse was located near the Ontario International Airport. Some people were putting boxes with protective masks in the car, most of them were women.
A lot of boxes were piled up at the warehouse's No. 35 delivery gate. Some people filled a car full, and some took out the small packages from the boxes to make it easier to put them in the car. Some people drove over.
A staff member said that they are all free, and that only a small part can be taken away now, and there are still many piled up in the warehouse, waiting for everyone to take away.
The person in charge, Mr. Lin, did not disclose the name of the company. He said that the company has been cooperating with famous American supermarket chains and shopping malls, such as Wal-Mart.
When the new crown pneumonia epidemic began, these supermarket chains urgently needed protective masks and also needed his company to supply them.
The total value of these protective masks is 17 million US dollars.
Provided to Wal-Mart about 10 million U.S. dollars of protective masks, the contract between the two parties has been completed.
By March to April 2021, as the people began to inject new coronary pneumonia vaccines one after another, he obviously felt that the market demand for protective masks had decreased and could not be sold.
Faced with this situation, the company decided to send out all the remaining masks for free, with a value of about 7 million U.S. dollars.
Hope that those in need will come to pick it up as soon as possible.
Mr. Lin said that this is an action to help each other, and I hope everyone will support it.
Mr. Lin emphasized that this action has nothing to do with warehouse rent or lease expiry, because rent is only a small part of the company's business.
The company gave away nearly 17,000 boxes of protective masks for free, but also wanted to clean up as soon as possible to free up the warehouse for other goods.
Coincidentally, not long ago, another Chinese businessman surnamed Jin also gave away nearly 300,000 bottles of hand sanitizer to the public for free, including 200,000 bottles in the warehouse in South El Monte and 100,000 bottles in the warehouse in New Jersey.
He pointed out that the Southern California warehouse lease is about to expire, so he hopes to donate a large amount of dry hand soap in the warehouse to the public and contribute to the society during the epidemic.
Mr. Jin said that his inventory of dry hand soap is still in demand on the market, but the price gap is very large, so he simply gave it to the public for free, which is also regarded as a charity.
At present, 200,000 bottles have been sent out, some of which are in large bottles.
He pointed out that the demand for anti-epidemic products in the US market is still very large, but the inventory backlog is also large, so the price gap is large.
The price of everything is increasing now, but because the amount of dry hand soap is too large, it can’t be sold at a higher price.
He started to buy more than ten containers of dry-cleaning hand soap in April 2020, and it only sold for more than a month and sold six containers.
Although there is still demand, the quantity has been drastically reduced and sales have been slow.
Especially after the general public is injected with the vaccine, it will have a further impact on the market.
Mr. Jin also said that the free hand soap for dry cleaning is also related to the expiration of the warehouse lease.
When the lease expired, it was troublesome to ship the inventory, so I decided to donate all of them for free.
However, he emphasized that there is still a large demand for anti-epidemic products in the US market.
Mr. Jin said that he is from Wenzhou, China. He started his own business more than ten years ago and has business in New York, Canada, and Africa.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, business has dropped by nearly half. Currently, we are also paying attention to market changes, whether there are more opportunities, or considering innovation and transformation.
