In 2021, amid the surge of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, consumer behavior changed rapidly, with a strong preference for contactless, convenient, and safe shopping. Recognizing this trend, Mr. Chu Văn Phong, an investor in Vinh Phuc, boldly invested in a chain of 22 smart vending machines provided and installed by Tan Phat ETEK.
Mr. Phong’s goal was to create a stable source of passive income while providing convenience for employees at industrial zones and factories across the province.
He shared: “Having gone through various jobs over time, I wanted a long-term source of passive income. Therefore, I chose to invest in vending machine business to fulfill this goal. I started investing in 2021 with nearly 1.3 billion VND, but I quickly recouped my capital and achieved success by placing the vending machines at factories in Vinh Phuc.”
