"In this way, the most complex thing in the world is the human heart. I skewered. During the chat, Luo Li answered the phone, as if it was some leader of her company. As he spoke, he also mentioned me, as if it was related to me selling Buddhist cards, and also passed pictures.

After she hung up the phone, I asked your leader why she asked me. Luo Li said: "It was the manager of our company's Beijing branch, and I posted a photo with a few colleagues in the QQ group that time, and he asked me if I was wearing a Buddha card, and we started talking." He seemed to understand quite well, said that he also wore two Buddha cards, and said that he would send me two pictures in a while, so that you could help identify them. ”

I said, "Where will I do it?" But I can let Kaohsiung see it. "Luo Li has a text message on her mobile phone, it is an MMS message, there are four pictures in it, which are very clear, they are the front and back of the Buddha card held in the palm of the hand, a card body is printed with a seated statue of the Buddha, and the back is a portrait of a person holding two knives. The other is triangular in shape and has a seated Buddha statue printed on it, with some kind of symbol on the back. At the end of the MMS message, there is a text: "Please help me let your neighbor Tian expert appraisal, they were all personally invited in Thailand the year before last, Kun Ping spent 2,000 yuan, and the Queen Buddha was 1,800 yuan." ”

I have seen this two-knife idol before, and it was worn by a college classmate surnamed Yang, called Shuangdao Kunping. But the other piece has not been seen. I immediately forwarded the two pictures to Kaohsiung and asked him to help. Not long after, Kaohsiung replied to the text message: "1. Azanzhong went to Kunping, and Huang's Gao imitated in Bangkok. 2. Queen Nampaya, an early genuine piece of Phitsanulok. This female client's palm is too thick, and it must be long and ugly. Luo Li and I looked at the text message together and laughed out loud. Luo Li asked: "I said Tian Li, this Kaohsiung boss is really your partner in Thailand? Why is there no distinction between men and women, and the manager of the Beijing branch is a man, and he is quite handsome! How did he become a woman?"

Based on my understanding of Kaohsiung, I think there is a lot of information hidden in his writing. The word "expert" printed on my business card is all nonsense, pulling tiger skin as a banner, and Kaohsiung is a real senior Buddhist card expert. Since there are two female characters in his guess, there must be an inside story. So, I called directly and asked why I guessed that the customer was a woman and not a man.

"How can a man wear the Buddha of Queen Nampaya? Isn't it a neurosis? That's a Buddha card for women, just like Nanping's mother!" Kaohsiung replied with a hiccup, apparently drinking. After his explanation, I realized that the expedition to Kun Ping and the double sword Kun Ping have the same meaning, but the name is different, and the name is Nampaya is a certain queen of the ancient Thai dynasty, let the army go out to fight, find the monk to use his own image as the statue, and make a large number of queen Buddha cards for the soldiers to wear, in order to ensure a safe return. The real Nampaya amulets were produced hundreds of years ago and are found in temples or pagoda pedestals. Because of the Queen's Dharma, women have obvious induction when they wear it, while men basically don't, and gradually this amulet has become an exclusive amulet for women.

I said, "I understand this time, but what is the Bangkok Huang Gao imitation?"

Kaohsiung said: "It was a fake card made by a businessman surnamed Huang who specializes in counterfeiting and lives in Bangkok. "I sighed and said you can see this, it's amazing, how can you see it?

"Why don't you ask me what the name of this businessman surnamed Huang is?" said Kaohsiung. My second brother King Kong was confused, and was about to ask, but suddenly remembered: "You and you are not Huang Chengcheng, right?" Kaohsiung laughed and said that it was him.

I found it incredulous: "How is that possible? Didn't Huang Chengcheng open a jewelry store in Bangkok and specialize in deceiving tourists with shoddy products? Could it be that he also interfered in the amulet business?"

Hearing Kaohsiung over there, he muttered a few more sips: "As long as everything can be imitated, I will do it, except for his parents." "I quickly asked where I could see it, whether it was the color and texture of the body, or the shell and chain, because the customer would probably ask me. If he is still kept in the dark, he may be questioning and even angry.

"Huang Chengcheng's imitation of the Buddha card, just from the picture to see, then it is not called Huang's fake. If you put the real and fake kunping side by side in your hand and look carefully, you may not be able to distinguish them. Kaohsiung replied, "In fact, it is very simple, in Thailand, because it is an old brand, so the real double knife Kunping is very rare, and the card dealer only has one or two pieces of inventory at most, and it is easy not to sell, and the price can never be less than 20,000 baht." ”

20,000 baht is 4,000 yuan, and the manager in Beijing only spent 2,000, it seems that either he is a relative of the dealer or has been fooled. I asked again: "What if the customer doesn't believe it? If I can't produce evidence, not only will I not be able to gain trust, but the customer may also have a bad impression of me, thinking that my business is not affordable, and always saying that other people's products are fake." ”

Kaohsiung smiled: "Judging from the grapevine pattern of the sterling silver shell of the Buddha card, it should be the batch made by Huang Chengxin three years ago, there are about fifty or sixty yuan, and it is ordered by a Chinese brand dealer surnamed Yuan, who claims to know ancient Muay Thai, that guy lives in Chinatown and specializes in selling fake Buddha cards." Besides, can you believe the dealer who sold the Queen Buddha of Nampaya to a male customer?"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Li and I discussed how to reply, and finally decided not to be so clear, but also to expose the key words in case the customer confronted him. Luo Li typed, and I dictated: "Nanpaya is genuine, Shuangdao Kunping is fake, one is that the price is too low, and the other is that the cards of Lao Yuan in Chinatown are not reliable, and his supplier runs a jewelry store, surnamed Huang, and specializes in counterfeiting." ”

After sending it over, Luo Li and I didn't know the bottom of our hearts, Luo Li asked: "What if the customer doesn't believe you, but believes the person who sells fake Buddhist cards?" I said that it can't be helped, you can't cooperate with someone who doesn't want to believe in you. When I came home after eating barbecue, I was about to fall asleep in a daze, and I received a call from Luo Li, saying that the general manager of her company's Beijing branch asked for my contact information and asked me if I would give it.

"Why don't you give it? Do you still need to ask?" I didn't understand.

Luo Li said: "Oh, you don't understand, I'm afraid that Manager Feng will be in a hurry with you and say that you are unprofessional." You think, no one wants to be told that the things they bought and regarded as treasures are fakes, especially when they are said by other merchants, they must be angry. "I smiled and said that you think too much, people are also the general manager of the branch of a city, even if they are not happy, it is impossible to call me to reprimand me, so as not to be so low-end. As far as I can guess, there must be something else.

"You have a really big heart, and you have a lot of money in business, so I'll listen to you. Luo Li agreed.

Within a few minutes, I received a mobile phone number that was displayed as "Beijing" in the attribution area, and after connecting, it was a very authentic Beijing man's voice, asking me if I was Luo Li's neighbor, the boss of Tian who did the Buddhist brand business.
