Chapter 98: Overtime
I chatted with them, and there was a girl from Dalian who likes to travel to Thailand, and she comes four or five times a year, and she wants to learn Thai for convenience and curiosity. Cheap has a cheap reason, the teacher here does not understand Chinese, can only teach in English, this girl has good English, and complained to me that the teacher's English pronunciation is simply not classy. I play some drums, and compared to the language schools in Shenyang, the Thai ones are obviously much worse, and of course the prices are cheap. I don't know English, so I had to choose the expensive one and try two lessons first.
When I auditioned, I saw that the female teacher who taught the class was really good-looking, and her eyes were quite good. Although the skin is not too white, which is a characteristic of Southeast Asians, not to mention Southeast Asia, even some people in the coastal areas of southern China are generally darker, such as Hainan, Yunnan and Guangxi, so it is nothing. After two classes, I decided to pay the money to sign up, isn't it more than 1,000 yuan a month, and I have to invest in order to start a business in the future.
I handed over the 3,000 baht and my documents to Huang Chengcheng, and asked him to help me with my enrollment and visa matters. I'm very strange, this Huang Chengcheng runs a jewelry store, and there are often tourists who come to fall for this, and he can't make less money, from top to bottom it is full of famous brands, how can he take any job?
When I returned to the jewelry store in the evening, there was only one male clerk in the store, and I guess I had quit my job when I first came to Thailand. The male clerk was not only in charge of daytime sales, but also in charge of cleaning and part-time cooking, and he cooked dinner. When we were sleeping, we each occupied a bunk under the bed, and we learned in the chat that this young man's name was Agui, who was only twenty-four this year, and Huang Chengcheng was a native of Quanzhou, and he also brought it to Thailand. I asked Ah Gui, your boss Huang Chengcheng is worth two or three hundred thousand yuan just by wearing it, why didn't he buy a decent house in Thailand, but lived in the store.
Agui said: "The boss has a house, it's in Nonthaburi, a very beautiful villa." "I remembered that I heard Kaohsiung mention it before, it seems to be a mansion with a swimming pool, so I said that I had to be a guest another day.
"That's a bit difficult!" replied Gui, "I've been in Thailand for almost three years, and my boss hasn't invited me to go." "I thought to myself, Huang Chengcheng is talking big again, this guy is really unreliable.
After Agui fell asleep, because I didn't feel sleepy, I turned on the small table lamp at the head of the bed, took out the small bottle of spiritual wax, and suddenly wanted to try the effect. I opened the lid and screwed the wax out, and lit the cotton wick with a lighter, the flame was not large, but there was a strangely blue smoke coming out. The thin smoke drifted straight upward, almost straight, and it seemed that either there was no yin qi and yin spirit in the vicinity, or it was ineffective. I blew out the wax, closed the lid, turned off the light, put my hands behind my head, and closed my eyes and thought.
Looking back on the experience of the past six months, I really can't believe that I have changed from a poor dick with a monthly salary of more than 1,000 to a Buddhist card merchant who travels between China and Thailand. Unintentionally, he was pitted, but in the end, he became a licensee, and his cooperation with Kaohsiung became closer and closer. This old brother seems to have a strange personality, but he is actually very principled, recognizing money everywhere, but he never fools, and it is very reassuring to do things with him.
Open the memo in my mobile phone, in which I have the information and profit of each business, roughly calculated, just the four businesses of exorcising evil spirits have earned nearly 60,000 yuan, and the remaining miscellaneous miscellaneous goods also have 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, almost the income of my previous six years of part-time work. It seems that if it goes on like this, it is not a dream for Kaohsiung to earn three or four hundred thousand yuan a year, and then you can buy a house, buy a car, and marry a beautiful wife.
The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and gradually I fell asleep. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet to pee, and when I came back, I passed by Huang Chengcheng's bedroom and saw the light coming out of it. When I looked at my watch, it was already half past two in the morning, why hadn't he slept yet? There was a crack in the wooden door, and I crept to the door and looked through the crack. The bedroom is not big, it is fourteen or fifteen square meters, and there is a large wooden cabinet with six or seven floors in the corner, which is very conspicuous. There was a desktop computer on the bedside table, which looked a little old, and a printer next to it. Huang Chengcheng was wearing a vest and shorts, sitting on a small bench in the center of the room, there was a low table in front of him, full of things, I could see very clearly, all kinds of Buddha cards, as well as dozens of acrylic glass and silver shells, and a large number of chains of different materials. Huang Chengcheng was blowing an electric fan and holding a magnifying glass in his hand, carefully distinguishing the two cards in his left palm. I thought to myself what I was studying, working overtime to make fake Buddhist medals, I wanted to knock on the door and go in to have a look, but I was afraid of scaring him, and I was sleepy, so I forgot it.
The language school officially opened in two days, and there were probably less than 20 students in the Chinese class, so after the class, I routinely handed out a business card from the boss to the teacher to the students. This is what Kaohsiung taught me, and he said this sentence: "If you can make everyone in the world have your business card in their hands, the richest man is yours." "So, I also have a cheeky face and give a big business card on any occasion.
The female teacher who taught the class was a native of Hat Yai, her name was Xinla, and she spoke Chinese very ordinarily, but at least it was easier for me to understand than the English teaching. This Xinla teacher has big eyes, likes to smile, wears black round-framed glasses, and likes to wear dresses and black stockings. When she saw my business card, she seemed a little surprised and asked me why I came to Thailand to do the amulet card business as a native of northern China.
"Before I came to Thailand, I had heard that everyone here wore amulets," I replied, "but I have been to Thailand a few times, and I have not seen so many people wearing amulets on the streets, and only a few people in need will be respectful." In China, it's a niche product, but for some people it's a necessity, so that's what I do. ”
Xinla said: "I only know that the monks in the temple will bless the Buddha plaques, and when I was a child, my father also took me to invite them, and he still has them, but I don't. ”
I told her that many of the Buddhist cards I sell are Yin cards, which are made by Master Azan from Yin materials, and the effect is much better than the real cards in the temple. At the same time, there are also exorcism and rituals to undertake, and your relatives and friends will come to me if they need this. Xinla asked, "What do you mean by a strong wish?"
"I just want to achieve the goal in a short time, and I can't solve it if I don't solve it. I explained, "For example, your father's amulet is meant to keep you safe and ward off evil spirits, but without it, you wouldn't have a good life." It is different to have a strong wish, some customers lose a lot of money and need to repay their debts urgently, some people are dumped by the opposite sex and want to get together quickly, and some people collide with evil spirits and are ghosted, which must be solved immediately. ”
Xinla nodded, as if she understood. I thought to myself, if I told the Chinese that many Thai people don't know about Buddhist cards and yin things, I guess no one will believe them. Because in the eyes of many Chinese who are interested in Southeast Asia, especially Thai culture, Thailand not only wears Buddhist cards, but also the streets are full of mages, temples everywhere, and ghosts can be bumped into every day. This is not only the land of smiles, but also the land of ghosts and gods.
