Come to the bus stop, get on the bus and take two stops to walk for a few minutes to the top floor of an old residential area. We didn't say a word the whole time, it was like cheating. After entering the house, I instructed Zhang Na to put the amulet card on a clean table, put flowers and a bowl of water in front of the amulet card, and then light the three pillars of incense.

I carefully taught her how to place the offerings and how to offer incense, so that she could memorize them carefully, and by the way, she could usually wear the Buddha card inside her clothes so that outsiders would not see it. She nodded and said that she would come here every morning to wear the Buddha card, and then send it back to worship when she got off work. In order to avoid suspicion, I asked her to recite the mantra first, and then put her hands together and salute three times in a row, and then I walked out the door and went outside. Ten minutes later, when Zhang Na came out, the rain finally stopped, and I politely offered to invite Zhang Na to dinner, but I didn't expect her to agree.

Zhang Na took me to a restaurant near the community that looks quite high-end, I want to earn you a thousand yuan, not to find back five hundred from here, right? But I think too much, the restaurant is quite high-end, but the menu is not too expensive, printed in a conspicuous position: This restaurant is limited to serving food, three times in a row, and the waiter on duty is fined 50 yuan.

Good guy, this is too strict, I secretly admired it in my heart. Zhang Na was not black-hearted, she only ordered a vegetarian dish and a bowl of rice, and I also ordered a meat dish and rice. Because it was a meal, there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant, and the waiters were busy serving food back and forth. Less than ten minutes after placing the order, Zhang Na urged the waiter to hurry up, I thought to myself, I don't need to be in such a hurry, it's only more than five o'clock. After five minutes, Zhang Na urged again, the waiter was a young girl, her face was white, and she hurriedly ran over to explain that there were many people in the restaurant, and it might be a little slower, hoping to be considerate, and said the rules of the restaurant's fines.

"It's not my reason that there are so many people at the meal, I have to hurry home, the rules are set by your boss, you go to him." Zhang Na said, "If it won't be on in five minutes, I'll still urge it." The waiter had no choice but to run back to the back kitchen. I sweated for the waiter, and said to Zhang Na that it was better to wait, the waiter would only be seven or eight hundred yuan a month, which was not easy.

Zhang Na looked at me: "Who is easy? I worked hard for a month, and I got more than 2,000 yuan, you also saw today, the people who do the work bring less materials by themselves, and dare to stare at me and yell at me, is it easy for me?"

I was speechless for a moment, I got more than 2,000 for such an easy job, and there were five insurances and one housing fund, and you were embarrassed to complain. He said, "When I was in Thailand, I said that Cuba Banna admonished you to be kind to others and act kindly, and you don't need to rush these three times." After wearing the amulet, if you still don't know how to understand others, I'm afraid the effect will be discounted. ”

"It's easy to say," Zhang Na snorted, "I understand others, who will understand me? Let's just talk about this meal, I have to rush to class immediately after eating, and if I am late, I will not be able to get in, and the money for this class will be wasted." Fifty yuan per class!" I asked what class it was, and Zhang Na said it was a body-and-mind spiritual cultivation course. I almost spit out the tea, thinking to myself that just like you, you really should study the practice of body, mind and spirit.

Sure enough, within five minutes, Zhang Na beckoned the waiter to serve the food again, and the girl was very devastated, crying and explaining with a pale face. Two minutes later, the dishes were ready, and I was afraid that this was the dish that the waiter had added "ingredients", but I was hungry and had to eat it. Zhang Na didn't say a word when she was eating, at first I wanted to find a few topics to liven up the atmosphere, but later I didn't feel embarrassed at all, thinking that this is her habit, at least with me, a person who has no friendship, so I didn't think about it anymore, and just bowed my head to eat.

After the meal, the account was settled, and when they were separated, Zhang Na told me again that she must not leak the matter of her invitation to the Buddha card, otherwise it would not be over with me, and I nodded again and again.

What was sold to Zhang Na is a genuine brand, don't be afraid of accidents, it stands to reason that I have no worries, and this business will be considered a success. But unexpectedly, there were still branches later.

During this time, I have been thinking about how to open up sales, when I bought MP3 on Taobao, I habitually entered the two keywords "Thailand" and "Buddha brand", I remember that the total number of related babies more than two months ago was only a few thousand, but I didn't expect that now it has exceeded 10,000, which is equivalent to doubling. I thought to myself, by analogy, if five months ago, Taobao should not have sold amulets at all, but of course this is impossible, so it can only be explained that Thai amulets have begun to enter a period of rapid development in China.

I decided to officially enter Taobao and open a store.

At that time, it was much easier for Taobao to open a store than it is now, without a deposit, and there was no such thing as evaluating and scoring a few stars. Of course, the traffic was far less terrifying than it is now, but at that time, the most famous e-commerce platform in China was still Taobao, which was similar to Dangdang. So, I used my ID card to apply for registration of a Taobao store, and uploaded all the genuine photos of Kaohsiung in my hand, as well as Qian Hu and Qian Mu, a total of less than ten products. The name of the store was thought about for a long time, and finally it was decided to be "Southeast Asia Thai Buddhist Dharma Main Store", although it is called the main store, but there is no branch at all, but it feels more powerful like this, and it gives people the feeling that the business scale is large. And the Taobao account ID is called "Ghost Shopkeeper Tian Qi". My surname is Tian, and I can give it a fake name, but I just don't want anyone to be able to search for my real name on Taobao. Readers, don't look for stores and ID names, it's long gone, and even if you can find them now, you're a scammer.

Little did I know at the time, but it was a small step for humanity, but it was a big step for my career as a card trader.

Half a month later, Zhang Na suddenly called me, which surprised me. Because she didn't want to communicate too much with me, a classmate who didn't know me well, and she didn't want to talk about the Buddha card at work, she usually sent text messages, so it was definitely important for her to call me.

"Is this amulet card to increase popularity, or to attract peach blossoms?" Zhang Na's tone sounded like she was angry. I hurriedly asked what it meant, and Zhang Na explained that since she wore the Buddha card, she didn't feel that her popularity was much better, but she had an accident. A male colleague in the technical department of the unit didn't know which tendon to move, but he actually liked her, at first he sent text messages, and then he called, and one day he even waited for Zhang Na at the intersection, so he had to go with her.

I laughed: "Isn't this another manifestation of your popularity?"

Zhang Na was very angry: "What logic! Good popularity, how can it be the same thing as a bad peach blossom?" I told her that the functions of Thai Buddha cards are very broad, such as Chongdi, Erawan Buddha and other genuine cards have the effects of transport, fortune, increasing popularity and keeping peace at the same time, that is, all things that are good for people.
