"There will be more and more dead people. We can't let the price of cemetery continue to rise in the future. If the living people don't have their own housing, they have to buy one to place their ashes, right?"
"Tokyo was developed later, and the land beneath your feet may have been a cemetery before. So, are the owners of these tombs safe or not?"
While explaining to Mao Lilan, Hanyu Qing'an also gradually clarified his thoughts. If he followed his original plan, he could indeed make enough money.
But what happens next?
Maslow's needs clearly told Hanyu Qing'an that after that, there will still be the need for self-actualization, and purely material needs cannot continue to satisfy people's desires.
Now, Hanyu Qing'an has figured out that maybe he should inject some new vitality into this stagnant industry and provide people with more choices.
Mao Lilan looked thoughtful after hearing this. Once you start to think about many things that you take for granted, you will find many unreasonable things and often hidden dangers.
There are not only high-income people in Tokyo, but also a large number of lower-class people. They often cannot afford to hire temple abbots to chant sutras, nor can they afford the right to use temple cemeteries, let alone management fees.
Once the management fees are cut off, the corresponding cemetery is likely to be unattended, or even sold out and re-sold.
They are all about commemorating the deceased, comforting people's hearts, ashes, diamonds or memorial tablets, etc. Is there any difference compared to the cemetery?
After seeing off Mao Lilan, Hanyu Kiyosu and Amuro Toru continued to talk about work.
"In two days, I may have to go to the funeral for President Omuyu. While there is still time in these two days, I will tell you the relevant knowledge and operations. In addition to the funeral arrangements and procedures, there is also the need to collect the corpse and give it to you.
There are many skills you need to master such as makeup and beautification of the deceased..."
Toru Amuro quickly interrupted Hanyu Kiyosu, asking him to learn so many things in just a few days would be a bit overwhelming, and... this was just an opportunity.
"President, the funeral arrangements and procedures are okay, but am I the only one who has to do the body collection? Do I... want to carry the body into the coffin?" Toru Amuro expressed his embarrassment "tactfully".
"Besides, I, as a man, am really...well...not good at putting on makeup and beautifying corpses."
Hanyu Qing'an frowned and nodded. Yes, he was also thinking about the pile of things and written materials left by Hanyu's father. After studying for a long time, he figured it out, and then he dared to bring Yuzu to the metropolis of Tokyo alone.
It is indeed too much to ask Amuro to achieve this level within a few days.
Seeing Hanyu Kiyosu's uncertain expression, Toru Amuro asked tentatively, "How about we recruit someone else to be responsible for putting makeup on the corpse?"
"Recruiting an undertaker?" Hanyu Qing'an looked a little embarrassed, "I also want to recruit, but the problem is that all those who are willing to do this line of work have jobs. It is actually very difficult to be unemployed in this line of work, unless you spend a lot of money to go elsewhere.
Poaching people, but it’s not good to do this just after arriving in Tokyo.”
He is also planning to launch a new type of funeral to provide low-cost funeral solutions to the lower class. It is not a good idea to offend his peers at this time.
"If we directly recruit people by ourselves, it will be difficult to find suitable people who are willing to work in this field in a short time." Hanyu Qing'an shook his head. If it is not possible, he still has to do it himself.
"President." Toru Amuro saw that it was not that he refused to recruit people, but that he was having trouble finding suitable people, and he immediately understood, "You planned to let me learn it in a few days. Although it sounds difficult, but
It doesn’t mean that newbies can’t master the job of encoffining, right?”
"Well, that's true." Hanyu Qing'an has no doubts about it. "It's said to be encoffining and beautifying the corpse. In fact, it means cleaning the deceased, putting on suitable clothes, and then treating the surface damage of the corpse so that it can be seen on the surface.
It just needs to be well-dressed and decent. It’s technically much simpler than putting makeup on a living person, but it may be more energy-consuming and more difficult to accept mentally.”
Changing clothes for an immobile corpse that weighs hundreds or even two hundred kilograms is not a simple task. The joints of the corpse are frozen and motionless, which is very tiring.
"In that case, I do have a suitable candidate." Toru Amuro squinted and smiled.
…
The next day, Hanyu Kiyosu and Amuro Toru drove to Dr. Agasa's house. They had made an appointment with Dr. Agasa through Mao Lilan in advance.
On the road.
"Amuro, is the person you mentioned yesterday coming this afternoon?" Being bored in the car, Hanyu Kiyosu thought of the suitable person mentioned by Toru Amuro yesterday.
"Ah, don't worry, President, that person is really suitable." Toru Amuro could see that Hanyu Kiyosu was actually worried that the person he was looking for was not suitable. After all, there were very few people who were willing to do this job and could persist in it.
"That girl is mute, but I think you won't mind, president. This will make you more stable in this industry, right?"
Hanyu Qingan nodded. Mute people in this field are indeed more suitable than normal people. They will be more patient and persist longer.
Toru Amuro glanced at his face and felt relieved, "Besides, she is a girl, and it is easy to do things like makeup. In other words, she may be a little weak, and it will be more difficult for one person to change the clothes of the corpse. I will do it then."
Help her."
Hanyu Qing'an smiled and teased: "Is this the girl you like? Are you saying nice things for her like this?"
Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment and quickly denied, "No, no, no, we just know each other. We haven't even met a few times, so I feel pitiful. So when I saw the president and you were recruiting people, I recommended him. It was just right.
It’s good for both parties, isn’t it?”
Hanyu Qing'an felt that he was not telling the truth, but he did not continue to tease him and asked instead: "Then do you have any reason to persist in this line of work?"
Amuro smiled and said, "President, are you worried that I will run away and you can't find a more suitable person?"
Hanyu Qing'an remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Don't worry. Let's not talk about the high salary you gave me. You can tell by looking at my skin and hair color. I have been bullied and ridiculed by my peers since I was a child. I don't really want to deal with others."
Toru Amuro's smile faded, "The few people who were kind to me are basically all dead. Dealing with dead people makes me feel more relaxed."
Hanyu Qing'an looked apologetic, "Sorry, I asked something I shouldn't have asked."
"It's okay, don't worry about it, it's all in the past."
The two were speechless for a moment, and the car fell into silence until the car stopped near Dr. Agasa's house. Hanyu Kiyosu got out of the car with a password box and took Amuro Toru through the door.
When I met Dr. A Li, he was playing video games with a few little guys, and the scene was very joyful.
