Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

The seaside guesthouses next to the five major seaports are completed, the necessary staff are ready, and seaside tourism can begin.

Qi Bing chatted with Elder Shi and arranged a seven-day trip to see the sea. The round trip would take about three days, leaving four more days to enjoy the scenery.

The first batch of tour slots, totaling around 100,000 people including employees and their families, will be allocated by having employees register first, followed by a random draw.

The guesthouse in the northern part of the city is not yet completed, so it is not possible to organize employees to travel to the northern part of the city for the time being.

Once Chongqing Industrial Group organizes employee trips, the guesthouse will have no shortage of business.

Yucheng Industrial Group has built the Seaview Guesthouse, Desert Guesthouse, Grassland Guesthouse, North City Guesthouse, and Yucheng Guesthouse.

Currently, only the Yucheng Guesthouse and the Haijing Guesthouse have been completed.

By organizing publicly funded tourism projects, Yucheng Industrial Group can make a small profit while also fulfilling the wishes of the people.

Many people work and farm for decades, and their entire life's activity range is less than 30 kilometers in radius.

If you have the ability, who wouldn't want to see the northern city, the Great Wall, the sea, the desert... and the grasslands?

The well-funded Yucheng Industrial Group organized a tour for 100,000 people for the first time, which can not only increase employee cohesion but also generate revenue for other regions.

Almost all employees signed up, and 20,000 employees were randomly selected, with only immediate family members allowed to bring them.

An employee, including their immediate family, has about six people, and the number of first-time tourists is nearly 120,000.

They were assigned to five seaside guesthouses near the harbors, with an average of over 20,000 people per guesthouse.

Three days later, a large convoy of vehicles, carrying employees and their families, headed to their destination.

All expenses for food, accommodation, and other necessities throughout the trip were covered by Chongqing Industrial Group.

The buses are factory vehicles of Yucheng Industrial Group, and their operating costs are negligible.

The Guangxi-Guangdong-Hong Kong region is the closest; you can leave in the morning and arrive at your destination in the afternoon.

The Guiyue Guesthouse of Yucheng Industrial Group sounds like a guesthouse, but it is actually no different from a large residential community.

More than 4,000 families, each living in a three-bedroom, two-living room, one-kitchen, and two-bathroom house.

We eat breakfast at our own breakfast shop in the morning, and lunch and dinner at our own fast food restaurant.

During the day, you can go out to sea on a boat to watch the fishing by Xia Yu Company, or you can go to the beach to play.

Over 99% of the employees at Yucheng Industrial Group have never seen the sea.

Now, standing by the sea and looking at the undulating waves, one can't help but feel a sense of exhilaration.

Those who went out to sea to fish couldn't help but ask all sorts of questions, and learned a lot from it.

The other four seaside guesthouses also expressed pride in being employees of the Yucheng Industrial Group, either themselves or their families.

The seven-day sea-viewing tour organized by Yucheng Industrial Group became famous throughout the city and was featured in newspapers and on television.

North City, Institute of Industry and Agriculture.

Ye Qiu couldn't help but say, "Brothers, isn't the treatment at Yucheng Industrial Group amazing? They organize trips for employees and their families to the beach, and all the expenses are covered by Yucheng Industrial Group."

Lin Fan said enviously, "In my previous life, companies with good benefits would only organize trips for their employees, and they almost never allowed their families to come. Even if they did, the family members had to pay for their own food and lodging."

Li Kun said, "My personal judgment is that other organizations will also organize trips for their employees and their families."

Su Hai laughed and said, "Now that everything is state-owned, other units will follow suit with the tourism industry of Yucheng Industrial Group."

Xiao Ze did the math: "Yucheng Industrial Group's tourism industry will definitely make a fortune in the future. The guesthouse is losing money now, but it will definitely make money in the future. It has three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and two bathrooms, which is more than enough for a family."

Chen Bo said, "They can make a lot of money just from accommodation fees, not even counting their own breakfast shop and fast food restaurant."

Ye Qiu praised, "The five guesthouses of Haijing Guesthouse, Grassland Guesthouse, Desert Guesthouse, Beicheng Guesthouse, Yucheng Guesthouse, and Yucheng Industrial Group are essentially large-scale residential hotel complexes."

Li Kun suggested, "Brothers, let's apply to our superiors and go on a trip so we can all stay in the North City."

Chen Bo asked, "Where are we going on vacation?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu said, "Let's go to Chongqing for tourism. Chongqing is the most prosperous city and has the most delicious food."

Lin Fan said, "This time we're going to Chongqing for tourism, next time we'll go to the seaside. In my past life I wanted to go to Chongqing and see the sea, but unfortunately I didn't have the money, so I could only dream about it."

Su Hai said, "In my past life, I also wanted to travel to Chongqing. But I had a wife and children, and the pressure of life was too great. There were many things I wanted to do, but in the end, I could only think about them in my heart and didn't have the conditions to put them into action."

......

The Haijing Guesthouse, under the Yucheng Industrial Group, has limited capacity. With too many people wanting to travel, the higher-ups can only allocate a limited number of guests.

The Beicheng Industrial and Agricultural Research Institute, which made outstanding contributions, was allocated a quota by its superiors.

Overjoyed, Lin Fan, Ye Qiu, Xiao Ze, and others held a meeting with the employees before announcing that they would be leaving get off work.

The next morning, employees of the Beicheng Industrial and Agricultural Research Institute, along with their families, boarded the factory buses.

The convoy departed from the north of the city and headed straight for Chongqing along the high-standard highway.

"This road is really wide, with eight lanes on both sides."

"The road is wide, straight, and smooth. I didn't feel any shaking while sitting in the car."

"Why do I feel like the housing outside the city is better than what we have inside?"

"We've arrived in Xingcheng. All the houses here have been rebuilt."

"I heard that the housing in Chongqing is better than in Xingcheng."

The employees and their families on the bus looked out the window at the highway and their homes with disbelief, discussing the scene with anticipation.

The convoy arrived in Chongqing the following morning.

"The houses aren't tall, but they look very neat. The roads in Chongqing are several levels better than those in the northern part of the city."

"There are new houses everywhere, both inside and outside the city. It would be great if I could work in Chongqing."

The convoy arrived at its destination smoothly, and the staff of the Yucheng Guesthouse arranged accommodations for the tourists who had traveled from afar.

One family lives in one house, and there are more than 10,000 families in total staying at the Yucheng Guesthouse.

Family members of employees of Yucheng Industrial Group acted as tour guides for tourists.

The cost of food and lodging has already been collected. There will be no extra charge for meals at the guesthouse. Tourists can pay for their own meals outside.

The plan for employee and family travel has been finalized: each employee will be allowed to take their family on one free trip per year.

Other companies need to spend money on travel, but Yucheng Industrial Group can take the opportunity to make a profit.

Although there are costs associated with the travel of employees and their families of Yucheng Industrial Group, the costs are lower than those of other units because the vehicles, houses, breakfast shops, fast food restaurants, and fishing boats are all owned by the group.

The Xu family's courtyard house.

He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Liu Haizhong were drinking together.

Liu Haizhong said, "Da Mao, your sister and brother-in-law have gone on a trip."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Second Uncle, in a while, we'll be able to go on a trip too."

He Yuzhu said, "I want to travel to Chongqing. What about you?"

Liu Haizhong chimed in, "I also want to travel to Chongqing. I'll go to Chongqing this year and see the sea next year."

Xu Damao sighed, "Second Uncle, life is getting better and better these days."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Before, I could only dream about eating meat every meal. Now I can eat meat every meal, and it doesn't cost much a month. Plus, I get a free trip every year."

He Yuzhu said, "Ordinary families can't afford to eat meat every meal right now."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Even the most ordinary family can afford to eat meat once or twice a week."

Liu Haizhong sighed with emotion: "It's only in recent years that living conditions have improved. A few years ago, it was difficult to even fill our stomachs."

Xu Damao flattered, "Second Uncle, there are three uncles in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai was executed, and the Third Uncle only has one daughter left. You are the most amazing. Not only did you become the factory director, but you are also a fifth-level blacksmith every day."

Liu Hai was secretly pleased, but pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Guangtian is just so-so. He wouldn't even go to night school. Guangfu will graduate from technical school next year, and that'll be his fate. He's far inferior to you guys."
