Reborn and Divorced: I'm Raising My Kids and Lying Low to Get Rich

Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...

Chapter 172 Investing in a Tourism Company

I listened to crosstalk all afternoon and laughed all afternoon.

All three of them felt much more relaxed and finally felt less depressed and frustrated.

After the event, Chen Hong felt bad because she had given her son patriotic education by visiting the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, which had also made Yang Wenwen cry.

I haven't been able to treat her to a proper meal since I started being her tour guide!

Let's make arrangements tonight!

Hearing that Chen Hong wanted to treat her to dinner that evening, Yang Wenwen was very touched. "Sister Chen Hong, you don't need to be so polite!"

Furthermore, my visit to the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall today was another opportunity for me to receive patriotic education, from which I benefited greatly.

Chen Hong persisted and treated Yang Wenwen to dinner at a time-honored roast duck restaurant that evening.

After dinner, the two adults were discussing tomorrow's sightseeing route when Yu Yang unexpectedly said:

"Mom, let's go home tomorrow! I want to go home and go to school."

We can visit the remaining attractions next time we have a holiday; I took too much time off this time.

Chen Hong was taken aback and asked Yu Yang in confusion, "Xiao Bao, have you been running around too much these past few days? Or are you homesick and missing your friends?"

Yu Yang shook his head, looked at his mother firmly, and said, "Mom, I want to go home and study hard, and strive to learn more knowledge."

"I hope you can get into a military academy in Beijing soon! I'm all grown up now!"

Chen Hong was very pleased to hear Yu Yang's words. In just a few days, her son had already set a firm goal.

"Great! Mom supports you. Go for military academy when you grow up! It's the right path to becoming a professional soldier! Go for it, son, Mom will work hard with you!"

He also apologized to Yang Wenwen, saying, "I'm sorry, Wenwen, I was hoping you could take us out for a few more days."

Since Yu Yang has decided to go back tomorrow, we have no choice but to part ways now and cancel all our future plans.

Yang Wenwen quickly waved her hand, "Sister Chen Hong, what's there to apologize for? Yu Yang is so young, yet he already knows how to strive for his dreams."

I need to learn from him; kids these days are really something else, and he's inspired me.

We are also facing graduation now, and we don't know what path we will take in the future.

Through Yu Yang, I have now determined the work I will be doing next.

Chen Hong was very curious, never expecting that Yu Yang could inspire a college student. "What kind of job do you want to do in the future?"

"Tourism industry! I want to be a top-notch tour guide in the future!"

We used to work part-time as tour guides to earn a living.

This job is tough and tiring. The customers are of varying quality, and you often encounter difficulties and get into trouble.

I never thought of making tour guiding a long-term, serious profession.

Through Yu Yang, I think I've come to understand the true meaning of a good tour guide.

I'm planning to go back and discuss it with some of my close classmates. We're thinking of starting our own business and setting up a travel company!

Chen Hong became interested upon hearing this: "What specific plans do you have for setting up a travel company?"

Seeing how interested Chen Hong was, Yang Wenwen's heart stirred.

"Students in our major often work part-time for travel companies, so they have some understanding of how these companies operate."

I'm thinking of starting my own new travel company; I don't think there will be any problems with operations and business.

"Most of us are ordinary working-class families, and we may not be able to provide the start-up capital. This is our biggest problem right now."

"Judging from your words, you two had some ideas about this before?"

Yang Wenwen sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it. You may have heard that some travel companies often cheat and overcharge customers in order to make money."

We students who were working part-time couldn't stand by and watch this situation unfold.

I also had many disputes with the companies I worked part-time with, and I was often fired for no reason while I was working there.

Our senior members often discuss things together, relying on our professional knowledge.

If we set up a travel company, as long as we adhere to standardized operations, it certainly won't be bad! Many of my seniors have had this idea.

But most of us are poor students, and this year's graduating class is just around the corner, yet we still haven't raised the funds to do this!

Have you calculated how much it costs to set up a travel company?

Yang Wenwen lowered her head, picking at her fingers: "It'll cost at least five or six hundred thousand! Renting an office space for receiving clients will cost at least one hundred thousand a year."

Buying two minibuses to transport tourists costs over 300,000 yuan, office supplies and hiring staff will cost at least 100,000 yuan! And we also need to pay a 100,000 yuan deposit to the tourism bureau!

"What about customers? With such a large investment, how can you guarantee a customer base? Without customers, you'll only lose money, not make a profit!"

"We're not worried about finding customers. Many of our classmates have worked part-time for travel agencies, so we can share resources and have access to travel agencies all over the country."

Each of us also has long-term partnerships with companies left by previous cohorts, including various hotels and taxi companies in Beijing.

In the past, it was the senior students who passed on these connections and resources to the next generation of students.

It didn't reach a significant scale because many classmates went on to work in other industries after graduation.

If we set up a tourism company and integrate information resources, the school should be very supportive.

We will be able to accept some of our future juniors who are looking for part-time jobs, internships, or employment.

We also have a dedicated travel guide website targeting young people, which is also a good way to operate.

After listening to her introduction, Chen Hong felt that these college students had a good business sense.
