Many Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia basically use the Buddhist calendar, which is the year of the Buddha's death, 543 years earlier than the birth of Christ, so the Gregorian calendar plus 543 years is the Buddhist calendar. This Buddha card was made in 2547 of the Buddhist calendar, that is, in 2004, and it was actually backlogged in Kaohsiung's hands for two years, long enough. In addition to the detailed information of each amulet, I also annotated those photos, such as "This is the main gate of the XXX temple twenty-five kilometers west of Bangkok, Thailand, it is beautiful and majestic", "This is the front hall, and the middle-aged monk in the picture is the abbot Luang Po XX", "The young monk, with clear eyes, looks like a practitioner with no distractions", "This is Master Luang Po X blessing the Buddha card," "Master Luang Po X is painting me Qian Mu" and so on.

After the log was edited and republished, I left a message for Mr. Ma on QQ. Lying in bed in the afternoon, I didn't know the bottom of my heart. According to Kaohsiung's idea, those Buddha cards are priced at a minimum of 1,000 yuan, and the highest is 1,000 yuan, and the most expensive Buddha card is only 200 yuan. Not to mention the Qian Tiger bracelet and the Qian Mu, which were given away by the old monk for free, and I marked the price of two or three hundred, what is the difference between this and robbing a bank?

I fell asleep in a daze, and I had a dream, I dreamed that I made a fortune selling Buddhist cards, and I had beautiful wives in car villas, and when I was laughing, suddenly a ghost in white came over, grabbed me by the neck, and viciously said that I had offended the ghosts and gods, and I had to pay the price.

I woke up in fright, only to find that it was the phone ringing, or that classmate Ma was calling. "Tian Li, are all the Buddhist cards you sell real? Don't even fool your old classmates. ”

"I have all been to the temple in Thailand, and those monks have given me Buddhist tablets and money mothers, and there are photos of these processes, and you still don't believe it?" I replied. Mr. Ma said that he had read the log I had re-sent, and was going to buy the three-layer Chongdi Buddha card, and asked if it could be cheaper. I was so excited that my hand holding the phone was shaking, and I pretended to be calm and told him that Thai Buddhist cards and holy relics cannot be bought, but must be invited, otherwise it will not work in my hand. He hurriedly said that he wanted to ask for that Buddhist card.

I said, "I don't negotiate the price of those things I post, do you know how much I cost a round-trip ticket to Thailand? The number of real cards is too small, and there are too many people asking for cards, so this trip only brings back a dozen Buddha cards, and each piece of light ticket money has to be spread out to two or three hundred." I've just started the amulet business, and the profit is relatively low, so I'm afraid I'll have to increase the price in the future. ”

After saying these words, even I didn't know how to make up nonsense so much, and I actually opened my mouth to come, and it was very natural. Classmate Ma said that it was right, the old classmate could trust it, so he wanted that. In the evening, I met with him at KFC in Middle Street, and I spread out all those Buddhist plaques on the table for him to pick by himself, and finally Ma still chose the three-layer Chongdi. Probably because he was in a good mood, he counted out ten hundred-dollar bills to me in front of me and invited me to a hamburger set.

"By the way, the video you recorded, is also a Thai monk blessing the Buddha card? He put his hand into the fire to burn, doesn't it hurt?" I smiled and said that he is a master of spells, didn't you hear that he has been chanting mantras in the video, so it doesn't hurt.

Classmate Ma's eyes were full of envy, and he said, "I didn't expect Ah Tian Li, they all said that you couldn't do it, but now you are so powerful!"

I deliberately said lightly: "Everyone has three ups and downs, and no one can never be unproductive." Mr. Ma said yes again and again. I showed him the note attached to the amulet card and taught him how to get started. Mr. Ma nodded while looking at it, and said What kind of language is this, I don't understand a word, I said that it is the special language used by Thai monks when they practice the Fa. In addition, I also pretended to tell him that after he started wearing the amulet, he should do as much good deed as possible, so that the effect would be more obvious.

After leaving the KFC and watching Ma leave in his Bollywood, I was nothing on the surface, and I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. The 1,000-dollar bill was in my pocket, and I reached for it, and it was still there. The Chongdi Buddha card sold to him cost 15 yuan, and the net profit was 850 yuan, and the monthly salary of my part-time job in the mobile phone store at that time was this amount. I couldn't believe it was true, and after standing on the street for a long time and calming down, I gradually accepted this reality and walked home.

Passing by, I called Kaohsiung and excitedly reported the results. Kaohsiung said: "You can sell a piece on the same day? Yes, maybe you are really this piece of material." Put the money in your hands first, don't forget that the profits of this amulet are mine, and you can share the rest of the seventy. I was immediately discouraged, patronized and happy, and forgot about it.

Thinking about the money I owed, I asked him, "Boss Gao, why did that Huang Chengxin Huang Boss agree to help me pay for the spell casting? He doesn't know me, and he doesn't owe me love." ”

Kaohsiung snorted: "Huang Chengcheng, this guy is very familiar with the tour guide Xiaomei, they have done this before, first Xiaomei will make the tourists sick, and then the travel agency driver will send the tourists to Huang Chengcheng's jewelry store to inquire, and finally he will introduce the business to me, and I will share the benefits of Huang Chengxin with them." Later, when I found out, I never paid attention to him again. This time, it was him who introduced the business, and you are still a tourist, so I think it may be that he is doing it again. Besides, your kid is really poor and has no money, so you scared Huang Chengcheng and asked him to advance money, do you want to thank me?"

"Of course, Boss Gao is a living bodhisattva. I replied with a smile.

A few days later, Ma sent me a text message saying that I must attend the class reunion on the weekend. My excitement had already passed a little, and I felt strange in my heart, wasn't it just to sell him a Buddhist card, why did he suddenly think so highly of me? But this kind of person who didn't look down on himself before, but now his attitude suddenly changes, and it's not a bad thing, so he will go back. His classmates told me to bring all the amulets with me for my classmates to see.

It was a good idea, and I promised it was fine. For two days in a row, I memorized the details of these more than a dozen Buddha cards, and called Kaohsiung again, and consulted some basic knowledge about Thai Buddha cards, such as what is the positive material and the yin material, what is called "doing the beginning", how the Buddha card works, and I have a little bottom in my heart. On Friday night, I came to the private room of the hotel on time, and there were already seven or eight people sitting in it, all of whom were relatively well mixed, some were directors of banks, some of them opened biscuit factories at home, some of them opened beauty salons in Beijing, and some of them were head nurses of Shenyang Hospital, including Mr. Ma. Seeing me coming, he hurriedly beckoned: "Come on, come on, let's talk about the Buddha card!"

After sitting down, these classmates urged me to hurry up and show the goods, I hurriedly put the dozen or so Buddha cards on the table from my leather bag, as well as a few money-biting tiger bracelets, and took out the money mother banknotes from my wallet. It's free, it doesn't cost anything, and the face value is only four dollars. But in order to show that this thing is not simple, I deliberately moved carefully.

"Yes, yes, this is the Thai amulet, I have a customer who has worn it. The male classmate who worked as a director at the bank said. Everyone was gossiping, asking me this and asking me that, and two of them obviously didn't believe that they were all the goods I brought back from Thailand. A male classmate surnamed Meng, who worked as a business manager in an insurance company, opened his laptop on the spot, entered my QQ space, and showed everyone those pictures and texts, and these people believed it.
