Accordingly, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Luan, a seafood restaurant owner in Bai Chay ward, Quang Ninh province, spent nearly 100 million VND to rent a container to protect his shop from storm No. 3.

Talking to Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Nguyen Thanh Luan said that last year, storm No. 3 Yagi caused many businesses in Quang Ninh to suffer losses, including his.

That's why this year he rented a container for 6 million/day to cover his seafood store.

"Last year's Typhoon Yagi was so terrible that my business has not yet fully recovered, so this year I have to try to prevent and recover. If it continues like last year, it will be very tiring. I was also very worried when I heard about this typhoon."

Mr. Luan said he rented nearly 20 containers (9 40ft and 7 20ft) with a rental price of 6 million VND/container/day.

He also shared that although the amount of money spent was a lot and quite costly, it was better than a storm that would damage the entire store, causing huge property losses and many workers would lose their jobs.
