Businesses change course amid COVID-19
"I start work at 8 am, sending product information to different WeChat groups, answering customers' inquiries and looking after their orders. After lunch, I begin to arrange orders and monitor the entire process to ensure product quality. In the evening, I send orders to communities, ensuring that they are all received. Sometimes, I do not complete deliveries until 10 pm," Sun said.
Despite the hard work, he is determined to continue with his new venture and is considering setting up a kitchen to offer family packages and healthy meals, in addition to the existing fast-food products.
"I've rented a booth close to my community for about 15,000 yuan a month. The gross profit is around 30,000 yuan a month, and if everything goes smoothly, I can break even in two to three months," Sun said.
After giving customers a brief online summary of his products and prices, Sun also offers them this observation: "During your childhood, you cry after you tumble if there are people nearby; when you grow up, you cry after you tumble if there is nobody nearby; when you are middle-aged, you are the only one that you can count on."
