Upon hearing the female tour guide's complaints, everyone's attention turned to Lin Yifeng, as if they were all questioning him about why he wasn't doing business in Kyoto.

Lin Yifeng simply smiled and didn't say anything.

Wei Yuxian's move certainly exceeded his expectations.

Just this store outside the Palace Museum restaurant alone, not to mention anything else, would definitely sell out on a single day during peak season. The 30,000 yuan franchise fee is nothing compared to this location.

If Wei Yuxian opens a store here, she can probably earn back the cost of the franchise in less than a month, perfectly recover the rent for the selected store within six months, and the remaining six months will all be her net profit.

In contrast, in Makino City, Lin Yifeng only needs two months to recoup the cost of a store, but even the combined revenue of the remaining ten months of the year might not reach a fraction of Wei Yuxian's store's profits.

No one discussed the matter further.

Lin Yifeng didn't pursue the matter further. In his view, the franchise had already been given away, and Wei Yuxian would definitely contact him if she wanted to open more stores.

After having lunch at the restaurant, everyone rested for a while before, led by the female tour guide, they visited the remaining attractions in the Forbidden City.

The female tour guide was very dedicated and introduced the surrounding attractions to Lin Yifeng and his group. After 6 p.m., everyone parted ways.

Lin Yifeng originally wanted to invite the female tour guide to have dinner together, but she declined, saying that she was from the local area and needed to go home to let her family know she was safe.

After all, Lin Yifeng and this guy got along very well, and the group also discussed having the female tour guide take charge of the trip to the Great Wall.

Both sides agreed on a departure time the day after tomorrow, and everyone went to a local restaurant for dinner.

At the dinner table, Gangzi leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head, looking sullen.

Seeing Gangzi looking so preoccupied, Lin Yifeng took the initiative to ask him what was wrong.

"What's wrong, Gangzi?"

Gangzi pursed his lips, seemingly still reluctant to leave the Mixue Ice Cream shop in the Forbidden City today.

"I'm so envious, Mixue Ice Cream opened in Kyoto."

"Brother Feng, when are you going to open a shop in Kyoto?"

"I'll manage the shop for you here!"

Upon hearing this, Donglai shook his head with a wry smile. He wasn't averse to Gangzi's youthful and energetic demeanor, but he couldn't comment on Gangzi's immature ideas.

Lin Yifeng raised an eyebrow.

"Open it! From now on, open it!"

"I'll open one in Baoshan then."

"Since you're familiar with the business, you can be in charge of looking after the store!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan covered their mouths and chuckled, while Donglai was also at a loss for words.

Gangzi, on the other hand, pressed for answers with some excitement.

"Brother Feng! Really?"

"It's a deal!"

"Don't lie to me!"

Lin Yifeng was at a loss for words.

Gangzi then realized that everyone was holding back their laughter, and asked Donglai in confusion.

"Dong-ge, what are you all laughing at?"

"Gangzi, you really don't know what Baoshan is?"

Donglai looked at Gangzi with a questioning expression.

Gangzi shook his head in confusion, still not quite understanding what everyone meant.

Donglai covered his forehead and sighed helplessly.

"The place for funerals, the crematorium, you know?"

Gangzi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Zhou Xuelan was still making jokes from the side.

"The tour guide just mentioned this today, how could you forget?"

"You!"

I'm truly impressed!

Gangzi was young, and after being teased by Lin Yifeng, he could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

"I'm not going!"

"Brother Feng! Stop teasing me!"

Lin Yifeng smiled and tossed a bottle of juice to Gangzi.

"You should just behave yourself."

"Your brother Feng isn't rich enough to open a shop in Kyoto at will."

"I'll consider it later when it gets bigger."

After all, in Kyoto, you could throw a stone anywhere and it might hit an official from who-knows-where.

Opening a shop here isn't something that can be solved simply by having money.

Most importantly, you need a strong enough background to operate in Kyoto.

This isn't something that can be accomplished in a day or two; he doesn't yet possess the kind of powerful connections that Wei Yuxian has.

Lin Yifeng had to postpone his plans to open a shop in Kyoto.

That evening, the group finished their busy day.

As it was the last day of 1992, no one wanted to just let it pass by casually. After dinner, seeing that there was still some time, Lin Yifeng let everyone do as they pleased.

Zhou Xuelan was too lazy to go out, so she took Xiuxiu back to the hotel to rest early.

Donglai, on the other hand, couldn't stay idle for a moment. Taking advantage of the time, he planned to take Gangzi to the Kyoto shopping mall to see if there was anything that could be introduced to Fatty Donglai.

As for Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin, they originally planned to go back and rest with Zhou Xuelan.

However, Bai Yejin really wanted to see the hutongs and courtyards of Kyoto, so Lin Yifeng took her to stroll through the old streets of Kyoto.

As one of Kyoto's most famous cultural features, its old streets and alleys are considered a local specialty.

Lin Yifeng found a tricycle and took Bai Yejin on a ride through the old streets of Kyoto.

On the last day of 1992, the alley was bustling with noise.

Many small vendors were also introducing their local specialty snacks to passing tourists.

After getting off the rickshaw, Lin Yifeng bought a candied hawthorn for Bai Yejin from a vendor for two yuan.

Bai Yejin exhaled white mist, her eyes sparkling, and took a bite of the candied hawthorn.
