Chapter 279: Secretly Helping
Takeshita Kusaoke, who walked out of Hinata's room, took out his mobile phone in his right trouser pocket and looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. After a conversation with the other party, he understood a little bit of the traditional Japanese hotel industry, and finally understood that she had a lot of difficulties. One of the reasons for this is that there are strict rules within the Kyoto Traditional Hotel Industry Organization.
Even if Tomomi Hinata were to sell the hotel, it would have to go through a verification of the buyer's identity by the organization. If the buyer's conditions do not meet the relevant requirements, Tomomi Hinata will not be able to sell it. Even if the buyer's conditions have passed the industry review, it cannot change the original business nature.
Therefore, this kind of traditional Japanese hotel is not only often subject to many restrictions, but also the only way for operators to break away from this industry and change careers is to go bankrupt. However, for Japanese people who are stubborn and advocate the spirit of craftsmanship, it is not a constraint, but a rule. As for the benefits, it is necessary to preserve the traditional industry in Japan, especially in Kyoto, which has a national historical and cultural background.
Takeshita Kusaoke, who returned to his single room, was not too busy, but was all engaged in a related study. For this unknown territory and a completely new concept, he did not show that Lao Tzu did not rely on this to eat and survive, so he did not take it to heart and dealt with things. On the contrary, I am humbly learning about it.
From the time he stepped into the Hinata, only the Yokoyama family of four stayed here. Other than that, there were no other guests. As a layman, I feel that the low occupancy rate here is a taboo for opening a hotel, and I feel that there are too many people here, and we should implement layoffs. In fact, the selling point here is the best quality service, traditional Japanese feelings......
He knows very well that this is a place with high per capita consumption. I can fully understand the truth that there is something expensive. Otherwise, a traditional Japanese inn like the Hinata's inn would not be able to do it at all, after all, there are not many rooms in total, and it is not at all like a five-star hotel, which can easily have hundreds of rooms.
What's more, it is necessary to screen the identity of the guests to a certain extent, and non-members, non-member introductions will not be accepted. It is not as flexible as a five-star hotel, as long as there are vacant rooms and guests can stay at any time. The more famous and the longer the history of the traditional Japanese inn, the more strict the identity of the guests.
Not only does this require a reservation before check-in, but there is also a limit to the number of members, after all, there are only so many rooms, resulting in limited reception capacity. Even if the business of the hotel is good, it will not expand and add rooms on the original basis. So that what was in the past, what it is now, and what it will be in the future.
It seems that making money is not the first priority, but they have a sense of mission, which is to pass on this kind of hotel culture. The relevant practitioners, of course, are not street shops recruiting waiters and can work without strict training, but have a very mature training process. So. In Japanese society, the middle and upper classes moved here as a symbol and embodiment of status.
From the closet, I took out the pillow and quilt Takeshita Kusaoke. Before I had time to make the bed, I heard my 2G mobile phone, which had been used for more than ten years, ringing "ding ding". He took it out of his right trouser pocket, held it in his right hand, and then connected the phone, placed it next to his right ear, and said in the tone of a friend: "Say." ”
"The day after tomorrow. We're about to leave for Kyoto. Are you going to come with us, or do you want to be here a little later? Akira Kurosawa, who was standing in front of his floor-to-ceiling window, looked out the window at the beautiful night scene.
"Right now, I'm in Kyoto. If it's convenient for you, stay at the Hinata! Not only do I have a new job at this hotel. And there is also a pseudonym, Taro Takeshita. You've decided to stay here, but don't let me be too affectionate. They don't know who I really am. You're an international director, Emperor Kurosawa, and I'm a nobody working here. Takeshita Kusaoke, who couldn't help but smile on his face, had already begun to secretly help Hinata's Tomome business.
It is impossible to leave him behind, Akira Kurosawa, who came to Kyoto this time to shoot "Rashomon". During the filming, I will definitely have to discuss the script with Takeshita Kusaoke. If it weren't for the relationship between himself and him, good friends, how could there be a director who would be a screenwriter for him? And only the screenwriter ran with the director.
"Okay! I'll get someone to stay at the Hinata's inn as soon as possible. Akira Kurosawa, who suddenly figured out that the other party was thinking about different lives so that he could write related novels in the future, admired Takeshita Kusaoke's kind of hard work and dedication.
"Then I'm here to say thank you." Takeshita Kusaoke, who spoke with laughter, said with joy on his face.
Kurosawa, who was not polite to him, was completely a conversation with a good friend. When he spoke, he was also straightforward, and he still said with a smile: "When the time comes, if you need it, I will call you directly." You'll have to come to my room instead of me going to yours. We're going to be like a couple of cheating men and women. You have to come quietly and go quietly, but don't let anyone see you coming in or out of my room. ”
Your analogy is very apt. I am your lover, and you are the great beauty waiting for me in the room to have a private meeting with you. Takeshita Kusaoke, who laughed, continued to speak.
Immediately, Kurosawa, who laughed out loud, then had a brief chat with him, and then said "good night" to each other, and then hung up the phone. While making the bed, there is a smiling Takeshita Kusaoke, and I believe that Akira Kurosawa's stay at the Hinata's stay will inevitably cause a ripple effect here.
Once the director stays here, the male and female lead actors will also follow. What's more, there is no impermeable wall in the world, which can not only play a good role in promoting celebrities, but also will inevitably attract more people to stay at the Hinata, and the purpose is to see the demeanor of international directors and movie stars, among other purposes. Moreover, when they stay, I am afraid it will not be a short time of three or five days, after all, they will not leave until the filming of "Rashomon" is completed. (To be continued.) )
