One week in advance for the store cleaning to welcome the resumption of business, and wipe the shop once
The Sparrow House has been closed for 132 days without knowing it. In order to welcome the long-awaited resumption of business, the Hong Kong Sparrow Entertainment Company located on Lockhart Road, Causeway Bay is also making full preparations.
Dong Zhang Jianing revealed that as early as last week, he had arranged nano-disinfection, and repainted the store, replaced the outer skin of the seats, and cleaned the sparrows, walls, kitchen cabinets, and even the air conditioner. To remove all odors.
Zhang and predicted that the business will resume at 12 o'clock tomorrow. There are partitions between each mahjong table. At that time, employees will wear gloves. When each round of cards is over, the mahjong tiles must be cleaned once; and placed beside the table. Two bottles of hand sanitizer for bird friends.
"You have to wipe it again when you hit it, you need to wipe it again when you hit it, and then push it back down. It's a hassle, but there's nothing you can do."
Zhang Jianing, general manager of Hong Kong Majong Entertainment, expects to fill up all the Majong stages after resuming business.
The loss of 374 days of business closure for two and a half years is "incalculable"
In fact, since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the Sparrow Pavilion has been closed for a total of 374 days, that is, half of the time in two and a half years, and no income can be obtained.
Talking about the current loss, Zhang only responded that "it is impossible to estimate", and the estimated loss is at least one million yuan.
He is grateful to his family for teaching him to avoid hunger since he was a child. Now he is relying on his savings to survive the epidemic, and even revealed that half of his private house money has been spent.
He reluctantly said: "I think that many Hong Kong people have experienced my experience, but there is no way to do it. I hope that I will work hard and save it again."
Even though life is difficult, Zhang has no plans to lay off staff at the moment. During the fifth wave of the epidemic, he is only required to stay without pay. Although some employees have switched tracks earlier, he is glad that after the news of the resumption of business came out, 40 employees have returned to the Sparrow House one after another. Only 1% of the employees are unwilling to return to their jobs, "Everyone should come back together and return together. This one is a joy."

Worrying that all walks of life will never recover
Like fitness studios and other premises, the government announced an anti-epidemic fund at the beginning of the year, distributing 50,000 yuan of subsidy to industries including the sparrow hall.
He clarified: "We're not talking about lions. Again, we just want to be able to do business. It's as simple as having a meal."
Zhang also wondered why he still ordered all businesses to close even when the whole population was vaccinated. He worried that in the long run, all walks of life would collapse. He pointed out that the neighboring Singapore has gradually returned to normal society after the vaccination of the entire population.
"Some people's life savings and hard work are lost because of the epidemic. I hope the government understands that it is necessary to use the old epidemic prevention policies to deal with the new society that has been vaccinated. I think that these people will not die because of Omicron, They died because they had no economy and no food.”

A frequent visitor to the outlying islands forgot to bring his mobile phone for a vain trip: there is no harm in going out without a key
Due to his reputation and history, Zhang Jianing is not worried that the bird friends will not return, but only worried that the market is weak, and the bird friends may not be able to afford it.
He explained that during the easing of the epidemic last year, the Wuzhu Majong Pavilion was full, so he hopes to maintain business after resumption of business tomorrow: "I see that the city is not good in the past year, 𠵱The government's leftovers will be 75% of the work (can be operated). the upper limit of the number of units).
However, many bird friends are elderly people who are not familiar with technology. Zhang Yi recounted that the government stipulated that “Travel with Peace of Mind” was required to enter the premises at that time. There were frequent customers living in outlying islands who forgot to bring their mobile phones. Although they had only been vaccinated, they could only return by boat in the end. Pick up your phone at home.
Although one of the selling points of the mahjong pavilion is human touch, he admitted that he was helpless at the time and had no choice: "It's really not a bad guy to go out on the street without a key, but it's really a bad guy to go out on the street without a phone."
Worried that the ancestral family business will end in his hands
Hong Kong Sparrow Entertainment Company was founded in 1969. It has relocated three times in its 53 years of operation, and it still sticks to the Causeway Bay area.
At present, Zhang Jianing is the third-generation descendant. After the visit, he admitted to reporters that many old shops have been closed due to the epidemic. He is sad and confused about the future. , will it only be related to my generation?"
