Chapter 1010: Difficulties
Mr. Cao walked over and sighed: "You have to earn some living expenses, this is all the work introduced by friends, and you have to carve what the customer specifies to carve." He pointed to the first one: "This is a female boss who does cosmetics business in Beijing, the newly bought house has just been renovated, I want to put a sculpture in the living room, and I don't want to go to the market to buy it, saying that there is no taste, my friend helped me find me, she is a fan of Andy Lau, so let me carve it like this." He pointed to the second one, saying that this was ordered by a Hebei person, as if he was a member of a certain community, and he liked the tiger the most in his life, and he belonged to the tiger, so he asked for this. Referring to the third statue, he smiled wryly and said that this was ordered by a professor of the Academy of Fine Arts, and he was a fellow with me, but he was a painter and I was a sculpture. He said that he likes women, especially bare women, and said that he must have a physiological reaction when he sees it, otherwise he won't be paid, do you have it after you see it?"
I had to laugh and say it wasn't that strong, but maybe the professor did. Mr. Cao sat on the marching bed and lay down again, looking loveless: "Fallen, degenerate! Is this called art? What sculptor has gotten mixed up to this point, what face does he have to see people, and what kind of people do he take to get ahead!"
"Many great artists were very poor before they became famous," I advised, "Tang Bohu also made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings when he was alive, and I heard that they were sold very cheaply!"
Mr. Cao said, "Has Tang Bohu ever sold a painting of a naked woman, and it has to be hard for people to look at?" I smiled and said no. Mr. Cao buried his face in the pillow in pain, and said that there is still half a year, and I have to buy a house in Beijing, and it has to be in the sixth district of the city, how is it possible! I thought that there might be a chance in places like Huairou Shunyi Miyun, after all, the houses in the suburbs of the city are cheap, and now they are more than 10,000 yuan, while the six districts of the city are more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Even if the smallest single room has a total price of more than one million, and the down payment of fifty percent still needs six or seven hundred thousand, how can it be made up within half a year?
I told Mr. Cao about the effects of Thai amulets and told him the difference between genuine, negative and evil cards. Mr. Cao asked me to talk about the cases of customers who quickly became their wishes after getting their hands on them, and I thought to myself that those who had accidents and backfires could not be hidden, so as not to be complained by customers in the future, so I first picked two or three people who had no accidents to talk about, and then talked about the accidents, including the "band" that played rock in Beijing and the magic wand that engaged in performance art.
"I know about kidnapping his parents," Mr. Cao replied, "but I didn't expect it to be a Yin Magic Thorn Talisman, does that thing have this side effect?" I hurriedly said Of course not, many customers have also done it, and nothing happened, only Mr. Wand had an accident, which means that it has something to do with his own personality.
Mr. Cao smiled: "I guess that's the case! How can there be any normal people in those people who engage in performance art? Either my brain has been in the water, or in the early stage of schizophrenia, I am a serious sculptor, by the way, if I also make this kind of yin stabbing talisman, do you think it will work?"
I hurriedly said: "It's better not to do this, the cost is not low, if you go to Thailand to do it, you will need 10,000 or 20,000 yuan." Mr. Cao was silent, obviously unable to take out the money. So, I suggested that he still ask for a yin card, three or four thousand yuan, the effect varies from person to person, if there is an effect, it is obvious, and it will not backlash.
"What does an evil card look like?" asked Mr. Cao. I briefly introduced it again, Mr. Cao nodded, and said that I probably understood, that is, the more yin the raw material of the Buddha card, the better the effect. It seems that he is somewhat interested in evil cards, for this kind of non-pro-non-reason customers, and anxious to change the state of life, is a typical "just need" type, it stands to reason that the card likes this the most. But I was more frightened, because I was afraid that the customer would find me for after-sales after the fact, even if I didn't find it, I heard that my customer had an accident, and I felt uncomfortable. However, I haven't made much money recently, and I have taken out 20,000 yuan, so seeing Mr. Cao's anxious and excited expression, I was knocked down by the money again, so I had to tell him that the evil card works best, and if it is better, it is the human fetus passing by and the little ghost boy, and even the mountain spirit, but those things are much more expensive, and the evil card is about five or six thousand yuan.
Mr. Cao said: "Can you wear the evil card for half a year?"
I said, "Of course you can, in fact, many times it is the customer who is too greedy, or the offering is wrong, and does not keep the taboo. Mr. Cao bounced out of bed and said why so many customers were in trouble.
"Because people often can't control their desires. I'll be honest, "Before the accident, I felt that I could control it, but in the face of a huge temptation, most people couldn't resist it." "Mr. Cao said he didn't understand, I said for example, if you asked me for an evil card, within half a year you suddenly have a chance to become famous, a sculpture can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, and you have a down payment that can be made at the junction of the six districts of the city and the suburbs, but you think, how good it would be if you could pay the full amount, how good it would be if you could buy it in Chaoyang District, this is greed.
Mr. Cao scratched his head: "I don't understand, if the Buddha card can attract fortune and transfer, is there still a quota? I think the effect is better?" I said of course not, but many evil cards have special taboos, such as some evil cards can only be worshiped for half a year, and must be returned when the time comes; some evil cards require that you must donate half of the windfall you earn, and less than half a cent is not good; some evil cards are even more peculiar, and you want to spend all the partial wealth you have earned on the same day.
Hearing this, Mr. Cao opened his mouth wide: "Also, there are still these statements?" I smiled and said that this is only a small part, and there are many more.
"Then there are no evil cards without taboos?" asked Mr. Cao. I said of course there are, but those evil cards with special taboos have far more effect than ordinary evil cards, and there are basically no fake cards and commercial cards. Most of the evil cards that have no taboos, but have only been heavily fed but tell you that they will never fight back and can always be enshrined, have no mana, and you should be careful. Mr. Cao was very entangled, walking back and forth in the warehouse, unable to make up his mind.
At this time, his mobile phone rang on several large cardboard boxes at the head of the bed, which was the oldest Nokia straight phone, and it was not smart. Mr. Cao picked up his phone: "Hey, I'm in the studio, and a friend has come to see me...... Well, I'm not trying to figure it out? The three statues haven't been picked up yet. I know I know, where can I get 500,000 yuan in half a year? You can discuss it with your parents again, give me some time, and now this friend of mine is helping me find a way, he is in Thailand, and he can let me transfer - not a liar, he is a brand dealer, specializing in selling Thai Buddhist cards. Alas, you don't understand, I'll tell you more when the time comes. By the way, can you lend me a few thousand yuan first? Just ask the Buddha card to use, it has an effect, my friend before, the wand that engaged in performance art was also invited from him, isn't it transferred! Ah, yes, he is in now, but the kidnapping of his parents has nothing to do with the Buddha card, it is because he is not in good spirits...... If you want me to be transferred, you have to believe me, otherwise how will we get married? What, if you don't get married? Just because I can't buy a house in Beijing within half a year? Who can, will you let me go and grab money? Hey, hey!"
