Chapter 387: Selling Instant Noodles in a Sanatorium (Second Update)
Fast forward to mid-June 2019, and after several months of equipment commissioning and special training of medical staff, the Manhattan Depression Disorder Clinic under the Emma Hope Foundation was finally able to officially accept patients.
In order to cooperate with the operation of the diagnosis and treatment center and follow-up treatment, the supporting recuperation center on Long Island is also in full swing, and before Eric joined, Lin Zitan only had 20 wards and 40 beds.
Later, after the sanatorium was reported in the New York Times and New York Life Weekly, many related medical institutions and public health centers were interested in working with them to refer patients from non-specialized hospitals to this area.
After Eric joined, the two discussed and purchased a plot of land next to the existing recuperation center, which is expected to build a medical building with 80 wards and 160 beds.
The building and surrounding facilities, which are well connected to the existing wellness center, will begin construction this fall and be completed by 2022 at the latest.
The existing nursing center is expected to be officially opened on September 1, and the entire nursing home is equipped with 3 ICU wards, 5 resident nurses, 5 professional nurses, 2 emergency doctors, and 2 depression specialists.
On the first day of the opening, these medical staff will receive five patients who have been referred by appointment from other non-specialist hospitals.
Every plant and tree in the sanatorium is transported from the green plant cultivation base of Lin Zitan Farm, and in addition to seasonal flowers, there are many evergreen plants in all seasons.
The garden design is based on the old manor house with a lot of Emma's ingenuity. Flowers, green grass, a small lake and a fitness garden are a delight to walk into.
In order to provide healthy and nutritious meals for doctors, nurses and patients in the nursing home, Lin Zitan also prepared a small restaurant in the nursing home that can accommodate 20 people at the same time, providing them with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In addition to bread, omelette, milk, juice, pizza and burgers, the restaurant is expected to serve Korean rice balls and Chinese snacks.
Mainly considering the needs of the entire recuperation center after the completion of another hospital building in the future, although this restaurant is not large, the cold storage space is very large, and it is basically built according to the scale of opening a large restaurant.
------------------
After the preparations for the sanatorium came to an end, Lin Zitan finally found some time to work at the Internet company and the supermarket.
On the side of the network company, the cooperation between Andrew and Chu Feng is still very harmonious, which is probably related to the fact that these two people are not the kind of characters that are too sharp.
"Daniel, there's something I want to tell you. On this day, the three of them had a meeting, and Lin Zitan, who was about to leave, was suddenly stopped by Andrew.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zitan said strangely.
"It's about Miss Zhuang, her lottery has passed, and there shouldn't be much of a problem with the green card for work, but she suddenly resigned to me two days ago, you say it's ......."
Andrew didn't speak in embarrassment until Chu Feng stood up and walked out of the conference room.
Normally, if Zhuang Yijun leaves the workplace now, the H1B work visa that the company applied for for her will expire within 60 days, unless she finds a new job within 60 days and continues to apply for H1B.
"Did she say what the reason was?" said Lin Zi with a frown.
"Uh...... I said I was going to get married!"
Andrew just waited for Chu Feng to go out, just because he didn't want this kid to be too sad after hearing the news.
"Getting married? It's too cumbersome to get a job visa?...... I know, then you can approve it!" Lin Zitan said helplessly.
"But we spent a lot of time trying to give her a look H1B before, wouldn't it be too risky for her to do this......?"
Andrew can also be regarded as watching Zhuang Yijun grow up, although she didn't get together with Chu Feng in the end, she was still worried that she was a little girl in case she was deceived by a guy.
"It's okay, her own choice should have been thought through!"
After Lin Zitan explained to Andrew, he sorted out the materials for the meeting and quickly left the office.
Xiao Zheng called him early in the morning and said that he had something important to report, and he had to pick up his children from school in the afternoon, so he had to go to the supermarket again.
Andrew looked at the figure of Lin Zi leaving in a hurry, and finally could only shake his head helplessly, although he had worked with these Chinese for so many years, he still couldn't understand what they were thinking!
---------------------
After arriving at the supermarket, Xiao Zheng trotted all the way to greet him.
"Boss, something happened, what's that?" Xiao Zheng raised his hand and said eagerly.
"Speak well, you've never been such an unsteady person, speak slowly. Lin Zitan couldn't help but pull his face and said.
"That's right, I just found out yesterday that it's not far from us, about three blocks away, and ...... I'm going to open another supermarket, and it looks a lot bigger than ours!"
"Where are you talking about?" said Lin Zi with a frown.
"That's it...... It's a 3-minute drive from us. ”
"Why didn't I know there was a vacant place to open a supermarket?" Lin Zitan wondered.
"It was originally a small parking lot, I don't know what happened last year was bought or rented, and it was built in the first half of the year, I walked there yesterday and found out that they had built a supermarket for a long time!" Xiao Zheng said angrily.
"The supermarket is the supermarket, if they don't open it, someone else will open it. Some people just like to swarm and follow the crowd, and in recent years, more and more people have withdrawn from the restaurant industry and want to do a trouble-free business.
Okay, don't worry, just do your own business, take care of the service and price, by the way, last time I heard you say that the two supermarkets are ready to replace our farm?"
"Yes, I'm going to report this to you! They took the goods from our farm before, and our output is just enough for four supermarkets, if they don't cooperate, we will immediately have a lot more stock, especially this summer's harvest is very good. Xiao Zheng said worriedly.
"In this way, haven't you seen the storage mode of Hongrong Freight before? I will find a place as soon as possible and build a few more large cold rooms to store the extra vegetables and fruits.
You first launch one or two products every day to make special prices, and then hurry up to find out if there is a supermarket willing to cooperate. Lin Zi thought for a moment and hurriedly said.
"But boss, what about the large batch of instant noodles that you just asked Assistant Chen to transport from China some time ago? They said that the goods were about to arrive.
But you're buying too much at once, aren't you? Do you want to sell to other supermarkets together? With our two supermarkets now, we can only sell them out in the Year of the Monkey?"
At the beginning of the year, Lin Zitan asked Assistant Chen to return to China to purchase a large number of instant noodles, all kinds of brands and flavors.
On the one hand, it is to cope with the surge in online sales in supermarkets in the past two years. On the one hand, it is also for Lin Zitan to research and sell instant noodles by himself.
After many investigations, Lin Zitan found that Lao Mei does not like instant noodles, and with the increasing number of Chinese restaurants, the acceptance of Chinese food by foreigners is also getting bigger and wider.
Now Walmart and Costco both sell instant noodles, one is a Korean brand, which is spicy and not delicious, and the other is udon noodles with Japanese labels, and both are not cheap!
"I don't worry about you, isn't the warehouse ready? This kind of thing has a long shelf life, and it can always be sold out, and when the matter of the sanatorium is dealt with next year, I will have time to deal with these instant noodles!"
"Boss, you don't want to sell instant noodles in a sanatorium, do you?"
