The men in the Di family were also incredibly dull, unable to move alone in their rooms. They either slept or stared blankly. Eating melon seeds and peanuts would make them thirsty, and drinking too much water would make them need to urinate.

Even if there's a chamber pot in the house, the smell is so strong in this scorching, windless weather that it makes you question your existence!

Ke Meiyu and Ying Yan stopped paying attention to them and went straight home, planning to come back in about a month to check on them and get their legs back to normal.

Ying Yan is very busy right now. He co-founded a company with two or three close friends and has also recruited some students with strong computer science skills.

Although Ying Yan didn't work in the computer industry in his previous life, he was a top student from a young age, intelligent and eager to learn, and he could apply his knowledge to many different fields. Moreover, computer science was part of the curriculum, and at least the most basic principles were required for exams.

Furthermore, he is the master of the post-apocalyptic base, surrounded by many capable individuals, not only those with supernatural abilities but also influential figures from various fields. After all, base construction is comprehensive, and the convenience of the internet is practically the primary task after fulfilling basic human needs!

Ying Yan got involved, occasionally sitting in on meetings of the computer gurus.

Time in the apocalypse was extremely difficult to endure. Besides leading his team on missions, he would spend time with his woman at home, never forgetting to cultivate and constantly enriching himself with various kinds of knowledge.

The higher up a person is, the more they understand the importance of knowledge. You never know, some obscure piece of knowledge might bring about a crucial change!

In this life, he studied in depth for another five years. Even though computer knowledge is far behind that of later generations, the basic knowledge and principles are the starting point, and he knows the general direction of his efforts.

Therefore, Ying Yan led everyone to proceed cautiously, striving to make Xia Hua lead the world in computer science. After all, in science and technology, being one step ahead means being ahead in every step!

Achievements in this area require gradual exploration and trial and error; they cannot be rushed, but they can definitely make one very wealthy.

Ke Meiyu's life was routine; she worked three days a week and spent the rest of the time doing whatever she pleased.

Recently, she has started paying attention to news about nursing homes and has been visiting and learning about them.

Actually, nursing homes, also known as retirement homes, were established in the 1950s to provide care for people on minimum living allowances. In many places, they were not very standardized.

There are several in each ward of Kyoto, and she deliberately used groups of students as a covert means to visit them under the guise of comforting the elderly.

In fact, when the nursing home opens its doors to allow students to visit the elderly, it has already cleaned the premises in advance, washed and dressed the elderly in clean clothes, and made sure everything was taken care of. You can't see anything too deep inside.

However, this kind of last-minute intervention also has its oversights.

For example, the skin below the neck of an elderly person may not be cleaned properly. Some elderly people are even temporarily locked up. The lingering smell in the house over the years cannot be simply covered up by cleaning or spraying floral water.

In summary, few employees could provide such meticulous care for so many elderly people, since even their children wouldn't do that.

The wages of employees are fixed. Even if they take a lot of leave, their wages will not fluctuate much. So why would anyone be foolish enough to work hard when others are lazy?

Whose kindness can be used without limit?

Ke Meiyu took out her notebook and wrote down many advantages and disadvantages of nursing homes, and then recalled the nursing homes that were privately run in later generations.

If we're talking about what kind of institutions make money, among the projects that everyone wants to invest in for compound interest, there are kindergartens and nursing homes!

History has also shown that Ke Meiyu is preparing to establish a nursing home that combines public welfare and profit-making functions.

Many of these businesses are chain operations, not individual entities. Just like the later-advocated ecological fish farming, they utilize all resources in a tiered manner to complete tasks efficiently and effectively with low consumption.

Public welfare nursing homes certainly can't accept just any elderly person. They need to be like Mr. Di, who has made significant contributions to society. Raising the bar is necessary for sustainable development.

Otherwise, anyone could come in, and even if she were sold, she still wouldn't be able to accommodate all the elderly people in the country.

This could allow her to establish a non-profit nursing home as a supplement to the organization.

Those offering profitable services promote high-quality services and diversified lifestyle options to attract seniors who receive pensions but do not rely on their children for support.

This requires Ke Meiyu to put in a lot of effort to change people's attitudes toward old age.

A good nursing home needs high-quality services that can meet all the material and spiritual needs of the elderly, solve their daily needs such as eating, drinking and toileting, allow them to develop their own interests, have like-minded friends to accompany them, and provide them with new lifestyle concepts, novel and comfortable services, and a beautiful and leisurely environment.

Who wouldn't want to come to a nursing home like this?

Whether it's supporting facilities or manpower, as long as the money is right and the rules and regulations are arranged properly, the service can be guaranteed.

The current question is how to effectively combine non-profit nursing homes with profit-making nursing homes to form an ecosystem?

No one would complain about having too much money. Although Ke Meiyu was not short of money, she did not want to put in a lot of effort only to lose money herself.

She was neither a saint nor a sucker, but just an ordinary person.

For her, the most direct measure of success in this business is that the elderly and their families are satisfied, the employees are satisfied, and she gets paid.

Ke Meiyu pondered for a long time and came up with a preliminary idea: what if the nursing home were to be divided up?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible. She couldn't help but print out thousands of questionnaires and conducted a detailed survey of the elderly and middle-aged people who needed to care for the elderly in various communities, workplaces and other places with high population density.
