Chapter 388: Before the Turning Point (One Change, Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Monthly Pass~Mo Mo Da~)

"What? Selling instant noodles in a sanatorium? You have a better brain than me! There are only a few people in a sanatorium? You can't pay to die if you sell instant noodles!"

Lin Zitan said and knocked Xiao Zheng's head.

"~I'll just say that, hehe~" Xiao Zheng covered his head and smiled.

"But the shelf life of that instant noodles is not very long! The longest is only a year, it seems that if you can't sell it for too long, you have to throw it away?"

Xiao Zheng Chengtian is in the supermarket, he knows it too well! Lao Mei's regulations here are that as long as the expiration date is over, he will be severely punished if he sells it!

In addition, Lin Zitan initially formulated the principle of internal punishment and external reward for detecting expired food, so their workers inspected expired products more carefully than anything else.

Once it is found that it is about to expire, it will be disposed of at a special price in a short time, which also makes the food in their supermarket rarely like the old beauty store and has to discard a lot of things from time to time, saving a lot of costs!

"I'll figure out a way when the time comes, now the volume of online sales is getting bigger and bigger, and I'll do a few special events after I get there!

In addition, to publicize it on the official account of our supermarket, I am not only selling it this time, but also selling it to the Chinese.

The main purpose is to introduce New Yorkers to how to eat this kind of noodles, for propaganda purposes, to let them know about this food first, and then slowly accept this food, like fried rice noodles, fried rice fried noodles. ”

Lin Zitan thought about it at the beginning of the purchase, didn't the foreigners not know how to eat? Teach them how to eat first! And then find a way to make their money!

Chu Feng's "New York Life" has a section that introduces food, and in addition to some restaurants that will spend a lot of money on their advertisements, there is also a column that introduces the cuisine of various countries.

When the time comes, he will ask people to write a few advertorials to introduce the simple eating and production methods of this kind of noodles.

As for selling instant noodles in the sanatorium, Lin Zitan really didn't think about it, as he said, there are only a few people in the sanatorium, and all the doctors and nurses provide three meals for free, and what they want to sell is nonsense.

When the sanatorium is officially operational, supermarkets and Internet companies don't have to worry too much about him, and the real estate side only needs to check whether the monthly rent arrives on time.

Low-rent housing and shopping malls and hotels don't need him to take care of them personally, just wait to be a big landlord to collect rent, so he will definitely have a lot of time to spare, in addition to spending time with his family, he has to do something to pass the time!

Not long ago, Frank sent him the uncut version of the documentary he followed about the billionaire Warren Buffett.

The documentary tells the story of Warren Buffett's ordinary but great life, how a young boy from Nebraska became one of the most respected men in the world.

The whole film is not so much teaching people how to make money, but teaching people how to have a correct view of wealth and money.

Some people always complain that they don't meet talents, but they always have low eyes, they don't want to do it, they don't like it, Lin Zitan thinks that he has never been a person with low eyes, so no matter whether he is in adversity or good, he should be able to face it calmly.

Compared with people who are really successful, what many people lack is not time, but whether you have the quality to succeed, whether you are focused enough, patient enough, and do your best!

Just like many Chinese who go abroad to make a living, why can they accept the work that they scorn at home?

That's because they don't have a choice! If everybody has the courage to die and die like a wanderer, where will they not succeed?

Warren Buffett said that there were two turning points in his life, one was his birth, and the other was meeting his lover and wife Sophie.

There are many turning points in Lin Zitan's life, and he takes it for granted that the most profound is the moment of rebirth and the opportunity to meet Emma.

Some people may end up being a short memory in your life, but some people can influence all your choices for the rest of your life.

In the past, he just wanted to make money, make a lot of money, but now he just wants to live well, with his lover, and live in peace.

Shortly thereafter, the low-cost apartment in Northwest Manhattan was finally completed, and all lucky tenants who applied for it will move into their new homes on October 1st.

The 231-unit affordable condominium, all affordable and senior apartments, with amenities such as green gardens, parking, and a commercial center, cost nearly $136 million.

The federal standard for affordable housing is that the rent should not exceed 30% of the family's income, so the price of rent for their low-rent apartment was finally determined to range from $500 to $1,200.

The applicant's personal income, with a minimum of $19,063 and a maximum of $59,820 for a family of 6 people, among those who qualify, the lucky applicant is finally determined by lottery.

According to a study by New York University, about one-third of New York households spend more than 50 percent of their income on rent. One of the main reasons is that over the past 10 years, New York renters have seen incomes grow by just 2 percent, while rents have grown by a whopping 11 percent.

Therefore, when these 231 low-cost apartments were launched, more than 84,000 applications were received one after another, and among so many applicants, only 231 were lucky in the end, and the good news is that more than 60% of the winners were Chinese applicants.

When most of the tenants moved into their new homes, many Chinese compatriots said that they were as happy as if they had won the Mark Six lottery, and the joy was truly palpable!

After the residents of the low-rent apartment moved in, Lin Zitan finally recovered the first rent so that he could repay part of the interest on the loan in time.

Commercial buildings not far from low-cost apartments will also be completed by the end of the year, when 50% of the shops have signed leases with tenants, and once they are launched, they can swap out part of their loans before the end of the year.

If the development of low-rent apartments and commercial buildings is stable, they can recoup the nearly $300 million investment invested in the entire project in three to four years at the latest.

This makes Lin Zitan very happy, on the one hand, he has contributed to the Chinese community, and on the other hand, he has also accumulated experience in real estate development in the future.

----------------------------

Because Li Manrui and the old couple of the Li family returned to China for vacation ahead of schedule, Lin Zitan and Emma attended the wedding of Hailey's daughter together.

In recent years, Lao Mei's marriage is similar to that of Chinese marriages, and they will accept gifts or cash gifts at the wedding, so Lin Zitan and Emma each prepared a gift to bring to the wedding.

Lin Zitan still prepared a big red envelope stuffed with $5,000, and Emma took a set of Tiffany necklaces and bracelets from the boutique at a discounted price.

Hailey has been diligent and diligent during her part-time job for Li Manrui, and her personality is also gentle and generous, although she is not as resolute as Li Manrui, and she is not as smart and talkative as the previous Miranda, but she is safe.

Lin Zitan also treated her as an old friend with a good relationship, and the gift money package was no more or less.

Hayley and Andy were overjoyed when they received the gift, and bluntly said that it was the most generous and perfect gift they had ever received.

-----------------------

On the eve of Thanksgiving, the batch of instant noodles ordered by Lin Zitan and a large number of spices and materials all arrived, and Xiao Zheng started discount sales + on-site promotion online according to Lin Zitan's method, and sold one-tenth of it in a month.

"Boss, this main buying group is still us Chinese! You see, there are still very few foreigners buying!" Xiao Zheng pointed to the crowd of people who rushed to buy.

"From tomorrow onwards, stop selling at a discount, and sell slowly at the original price! Don't worry, the expiration date of this batch of goods we enter is November 2020!" Lin Zitan said with a smile.

"By the way, boss, that supermarket is about to open, guess who I met there?" Xiao Zheng said mysteriously.

"Who?" said Lin Zi casually.

"Wu Junhao, the one you know!" Xiao Zheng said unhappily.

"It's them!" Lin Zitan muttered.
