Chapter 383: Home for the Elderly
Luo Li said: "The four of them said that they are all from Taichung City, I don't know where Taichung is, I checked it on the map, it seems to be in the middle of the island of Taiwan." "I asked you which one you have a good relationship with, and she said that these four seem to be rich people, saying that their families run companies, they all like to travel, and they will come to Beijing to play in a few days.
"Okay, okay, you should be closer to them, and say that you can't marry in Taiwan in the future. I said with a smile. Luo Li glared at me and said that it was just a netizen, not as complicated as you thought. Later, she said that there was a young man named Ah Ming, who seemed to want to ask for a Buddhist medallion and wanted to have a good chat with me when the time came.
I said, "It's unlikely, Taiwan is much closer to Southeast Asia than Beijing, and they have money, so it's still difficult for them to travel to Thailand?"
Luo Li replied: "I said the same at the beginning, Ah Ming said, we open a Buddhist brand shop in Beijing, the reputation is definitely better than finding a local tour guide and brand dealer in Thailand, and we are not afraid of being deceived." "I thought to myself, it seems that this Buddhist brand shop is very useful, many people still recognize physical enterprises, so I asked when I would come, and Luo Li told me to reply in the evening.
"Do Taiwanese people also use QQ?" I asked. Luo Li said that Taiwanese people not only use QQ but also play Sina Weibo, mainly because there are more and more cross-strait exchanges, and the mainland uses these software, so Taiwan cannot avoid it. In the evening, Luo Li said that Ah Ming had replied to him and would go to Beijing next Thursday for an interview.
The days of no business passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Thursday, and at noon, I saw four young men and two women walking into the store through the glass door. Luo Li hurriedly greeted her, and one of the young men asked, "Are you Luo Li?" Luo Li nodded again and again, the two smiled and shook hands, and I hurriedly went over to greet her.
According to Luo Li's introduction, these four are Luo Li netizens who traveled from Taichung City to Beijing, namely Ah Ming, Ah Yi, Ah Wen and Ah Zhen. Ah Ming is tall and strong, Ah Yi is thinner, and the two girls, Ah Wen and Ah Zhen, look innocent and have a good first impression. The four were all dressed fashionably, from top to bottom, the man wore a baseball cap and a Lee brand denim, and the girl wore a Nike jersey T-shirt with a hoodie and permed long curly hair. Ayi has a Nikon cannon barrel camera around his neck, which looks like it's worth a lot.
To be honest, I was a little nervous, the first time I dealt with Taiwanese compatriots, and I couldn't understand Hokkien, but fortunately, I thought too much, they all know Chinese, just like the accent in Taiwanese TV dramas, there is no flat tongue rolling, it sounds soft. Sitting in the rest area and chatting, talking to Taiwanese friends, I am careful everywhere, after all* is a little sensitive, and the ideas of the two places may be very different, in case of which sentence makes everyone uncomfortable, it is not good. Fortunately, they are all young people, and the atmosphere of chatting is quite harmonious. The four of them praised the Tieguanyin I brewed, and I told them that this was the authentic Fujian Anxi Tieguanyin Autumn Tea.
It is rare for Taiwanese customers to come to the store, so I suggested that Luo Li take them to a nearby roast duck restaurant for dinner for a while, and I stayed to watch the store. The girl named Ah Ming hurriedly said, "How can this work? You don't need to go out to eat, you can order some takeout!" The girl named Ah Zhen also said that there is no need to bother, just eat something in the store, which feels good.
"You have an accent that resembles a friend of mine," I said with a laugh. They quickly asked me where my friend was from, and said that he was from Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and now he opened a jewelry store in Bangkok, Thailand. Luo Li laughed and said that it was Boss Huang, a profiteer.
Ayi said: "No wonder, Taiwan, like Fujian, speaks Hokkien, so Taiwan's Chinese language is similar to Fujian's Mandarin." "Not long after, the restaurant sent six dishes, and we all ate at the round table in the lounge area, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. I thought to myself, just like this, they can also ask for two amulets in the store. After the meal, Luo Li soaked in the best Tieguanyin, and everyone chatted while drinking. Amin told me that Luo Li had told him a lot about Thai Buddhist medals and rituals during this time, and she was very interested in knowing if there was any kind of Buddhist medallion that could keep her healthy.
I said, "Of course, the popular ones are Chongdi, Mask Concealment and Erawan Buddha, all of which are blessed by Master Luang Po with the blessings of the Orthodox Dharma, and they have no special functions, but they have effects in all aspects, such as physical health, warding off evil spirits, keeping peace and improving careers, and so on. If there is a single type of Buddha card, you can ask Medicine Buddha, it is Master Luang Po who uses mantras that can specifically heal diseases and dispel disasters to make blessings, which greatly improves the physical health. ”
"That's right...... "Ah Ming didn't seem particularly satisfied, so I took him to the front of the counter and took out a piece of Medicine Buddha and handed it to him. It is said that this is the Medicine Buddha made and blessed by the authentic Luang Po Khenpo himself, which belongs to the early cards, and now there are many of them, and they are sold for one piece and one piece less. Ah Ming looked at it carefully and asked how effective it was, and I said that many people have strong reactions when they wear it, such as vomiting or something like that, which is actually detoxifying.
Ah Ming asked, "Can you prolong your life?" I said, of course, the removal of certain lesions in the body is not equivalent to making people healthier and living a better life? Ah Ming nodded, but with the eyesight I have exercised in the past two years, I feel that he does not seem to be satisfied, so I ask if there is any need, just say it directly, see if I can help you. Ah Ming said: "Don't hide it from Boss Tian, my father opened a nursing home in Taichung, oh yes, it's called a nursing home in the mainland." As you know, the old people's home is public and private, and what we run is private, and it is also a business, so we also have to make money. The elderly will inevitably get sick when they are old, some are still very sick, Taiwan has entered an aging society, the competition between the old people's homes is also very fierce, and there are associations to give us a score, if the mortality rate of the elderly in a certain old people's home is high, the lower the rating of the old people's home, it will also affect our recruitment of the elderly, and the business will not be good. Therefore, we hope to use various ways to make the elderly in the hospital healthy and live as long as possible!"
Listening to Ah Ming's words, I nodded again and again, thinking that no matter whether his starting point was good or bad, it was to let those lonely old people live for a few more years, and if the result was good, then it was considered a good deed. I was a little embarrassed: "The old people in the nursing home are not one or two, and the Buddha card can only be worn by one person, and there is no kind of offering that can be enshrined and can keep health, such as Bu Zhou and Guman, these are all evil spirits and fortune and prosperity causes, which are not of much help to health, unless you ask each old person to ask for a Medicine Buddha, about three or four thousand yuan." But you have to tell me the exact quantity in advance, the Medicine Buddha of Luang Pha Khenpo is a hot commodity, and I have to ask my business partner to find the goods in Thailand in advance, it will take time. ”
I pretended to be embarrassed, but in fact, my heart was happy, if Ah Ming really planned to put Medicine Buddha on every old man, it would be the biggest business since the opening of the Buddha brand shop. Ah Ming said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, when the association scores, it usually selects one or two representatives of the elderly who meet the requirements to track their health, that is, just give the old man a special guarantee!"
