Ke Meiyu used her own sunscreen and whitening cream, which had no side effects and excellent results, to apply it to herself, the old lady, and the old man. Then she packed her things and set off.
Although there are many brochures introducing local customs and culture at Kyoto Station, Komi-U wants to build a brand for her travel agency, providing the most attentive service and making people feel that they are getting their money's worth.
Travel agencies certainly make money, but wouldn't it be better to demonstrate their original intention by making tourists happy and comfortable in a friendly manner?
So Ke Meiyu plans to take her grandparents with her and slowly explore Kyoto, then draw it all in a notebook, including the directions, the names of each street, the names of each community and alley, what shops are nearby, and what stories are associated with it...
Of course, she also brought a camera and film to make a journal, which she will organize in detail later.
Because Kyoto is so big, she decided to go home on the weekend and explore the city little by little from the northeast corner.
The old man and woman are already this age. Although they accompany their children to study in the provincial capital and have also stayed in Beijing for several years, they only plan to go somewhere to play when the family has free time. They can count the places they have been to on one hand.
The main problem is that children have heavy academic workloads and are busy with work after graduation, making it difficult for them to spare much time.
The two elderly people had to pass the time on their own, but fortunately they were used to it. They would carry enamel mugs, palm-leaf fans, and stools to cool off and chat.
The days pass by uneventfully and quickly; how much of this kind of drain can their lives withstand?
Following their granddaughter through the streets and alleys of Kyoto was the most novel and daring thing they had ever done in their decades of life. Like sponges, they kept their eyes wide open and their ears perked up, determined not to miss a single interesting piece of information, which might become one of their topics of conversation after they started working as tour guides.
From autumn until deep winter, the three of them strolled around Kyoto while perfecting the booklet. There were eight very thick booklets in total, filled with photos, dense text, and simple sketches by Komi Yu.
By the time they finished their work, it was already time for the New Year.
Ke Meiyu hadn't done this in years; it was as if she had endless winter vacation homework, with sketches, photos, and journals covering the entire table.
She meticulously organized these things systematically, with many ideas swirling in her mind.
Different combinations can create different tourism models.
Ying Yan was her own boss and didn't announce that her employees would be on holiday until New Year's Eve, with work resuming on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
When he got home, he played with the children, and after they took their afternoon nap, he helped Ke Meiyu tidy up her things.
She chuckled as she told him her plans, “Ying Yan, come and see for yourself. Kyoto is mostly historical and cultural sites, a place to cultivate your mind and explore new things, but there aren’t many gimmicks.”
“Our Kyoto has countless mansions of princes and scholars, as well as courtyards filled with all sorts of exotic flowers, plants and animals. Each one has its own unique features, and a few of these attractions could be combined into a tour package.”
"Such as the exquisite handicraft shops, jade and goldware shops around the classic area, allowing people to buy souvenirs for their families, we can also generate income. As long as the quality is good and the price is fair, it's better for us to take control from the beginning than to let some small vendors seize the opportunity to sell shoddy goods and ruin our reputation after we start doing tourism business alone."
"We can also build our own amusement facilities, food streets, costume rental shops, photo studios, and everything else related to tourism."
"By the way, if a travel agency can provide a one-stop service, from arranging train tickets from various places to Beijing, to pick-up and drop-off services, accommodation, and sightseeing, then it can be considered barely qualified."
What do you think?
Ying Yan smiled and nodded, putting his arm around his wife and saying, "You're the expert when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun. You can make your own decisions. If you need money, just tell me."
Ke Meiyu was taken aback, then she laughed, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I was once a rich heiress in my previous life, and what kind of things haven't I tried?"
"So I'm going to go all out and make some big changes? I'll make you one of my first customers!"
Ying Yan nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, my wife, to reserve a few more seats for me. You've worked so hard for so long, so give the company employees some perks. A two-day trip to the city."
Ke Meiyu clung to his shoulders, giggling, "You're such a stingy boss, keeping the profits in the family. Do you think they'd hire you for a two-day city trip?"
"It should at least be a neighboring city or a neighboring province."
At this point, her eyes lit up. "Look at my brain, I only thought about how many people come to Kyoto to play, both from home and abroad, but I forgot that the people of Kyoto also need to relax and have fun."
"People in Kyoto are richer than people in other places. If I promote my travel agency and partner with famous tourist attractions in neighboring provinces and cities, I can generate a lot more business!"
"I need to ask Jin Yuan to keep an eye out for manpower first. Once the travel agency, shops, and other things are finalized, there will definitely be a lot more positions available..."
Ke Meiyu has too many things to worry about; she could go on and on about them. Even when the two of them are chatting, they might touch on some nerve, so they have to constantly capture inspiration and then finalize and implement it.
She had almost finished organizing the materials from her half-year research trip to Kyoto, and she also spent a month working with Ying Yan at the company, typing up the manuscripts into digital form and then printing them into a book. This was just the initial step.
By this time, the nursing home had been built, and a group of staff members were recruited. While the houses were being aired out and various equipment and large furniture such as beds were being installed, they were trained on rules and service attitudes.
The Zhao and Di families felt they had finally made it through, so they joined the training. However, when it came time to be assigned to their posts, they were assigned to be caregivers, mainly for elderly people who were bedridden and paralyzed.
