Wind and water

Contrary to Sha's junior brother, it is said that the popularity of Master's Workshop has risen a lot recently, and it is often overcrowded, and sometimes there is a shortage of space. I wonder if Master's brain has been opened? Do you know how to compete with others?

The number of Buddhist workshops in Qilin Town, where the Master Workshop is located, has grown to three, one of the other two is said to be a distant relative of Rulai, and the other is an official of the publishing branch of Rulai.

The reason why Qilin Street was chosen as the base for the workshop is that there are more than 10 of the most famous ancient temples in the country in the vicinity, and millions of people go to burn incense and worship the Buddha every year. Most of the locals believe in Buddhism and have a little bit of research, and the role of Master's workshop is to let people interpret Buddhist scriptures from a scientific point of view, not a point of faith.

Besides, Master's workshop can survive in the gap between the two strong men, and it is also doing well, which can be roughly summed up in the words "blessing in disguise".

In the previous diary, I mentioned that the master encountered the gangster who collected protection money, and in the end, my old pig came forward to solve it. It was a few yellow-haired boys who collected the protection fee, and they were subdued by my little skill of carving insects. Seeing the real Zhu Bajie in front of them, they insisted on worshipping me as a teacher, because they had lessons from the past, and were afraid that they would be insatiable or bullying, so they didn't promise them, but just told them to go back and do something serious, and don't come out to mix in the future. As a result, since then, a few yellow-haired boys have been running to the master every now and then to help this and that; Their excuse is that Brother Pig is our master, and you are Brother Pig's master, so you are our master, and it is right for apprentices to serve their master.

It's quite sweet in the mouth.

Later, the master often nagged me: Bajie, how should this be? If you don't have any merit, you still teach them a trick and a half to pass them away. I told the master to rest assured, and I was rightly relieved that the old pig only had a sense of proportion.

One of those boys was called "Bear Bear", the one who came to take the lead in collecting protection money, and his father ran an advertising agency. Probably to invite merit, Bastard asked his father to make a free advertisement for his master. It's definitely not okay to be free, everyone has to eat, except for a guy like him who has little to do, I guess no one can be so whimsical.

Maybe he was impatient with the bear pestering, and the bear bear's father promised to give the master a free advertising plan, and then let the master pay for the TV or radio advertising at his own expense. The father of the bear also said to the master, master, even if you are the protagonist in "Journey to the West", you can't help but advertise; If you continue like this, it is estimated that you will have to post it backwards in another year or two.

It's not that the master thinks he is tall, it's that he doesn't have that awareness; has been with him for more than ten years, and this little gossip is still clear to the old pig.

The ad was very well done, and within two days of its launch, there was talk of Master's workshop everywhere.

I forgot to introduce that the name of Master's workshop is "Bodhi Dustless"; It's a very chic name.

Some of these details were told to me by the master, and some were told to me by the bastard bear himself. When the bear said this, I said to him with a very serious expression, Master is Master, Lao Pig is Lao Pig, you kid must not think that if you help my Master, Lao Zhu will accept you as an apprentice. Bastard Bear knew one by one, and said that he would continue to reform and strive to get the true inheritance of Master. I said you wait, the old pig is hard-hearted, see how you behave.

However, the bear still became my old pig's apprentice, that is, my second apprentice. As for the reason, I will explain it clearly in my diary in the future, so I won't say much here.

Let's go back to Master's workshop.

In addition to the effectiveness of advertising, I am afraid that the other thing that deserves to be thanked for Master's workshop is the policy. Before the master started the workshop, Brother Monkey and my old pig ran before and after they got it, and they had complete licenses. In order to get a lecturer's license, Master was busy studying the local customs and customs, and studied day and night for more than a month. However, the relatives of Rulai and the official of the Rulai Publishing Branch are operating illegally, and they may have been hinted at by some local officials to be able to open the business, and it is very likely that they were forced to close the door later because of the change in policy, and they can't do it anyway. I think that the two of them are making extra money, one wants to get some light, and the other wants to "fish in troubled waters".

Master said that it was good now, no one was competing with him for business, and according to the current situation, it was estimated that he would be able to consider expansion in a few months.

I told Master to be careful, maybe someone will go there in the future to hold a workshop, and then he will not be ostracized by others—if he still only cares about "Amitabha" all day long, and has no sense of crisis.

Rulai has finally opened up, just as I complained before, now Rulai has opened a branch in the southeast, northwest, and middle. The scope of the business has also expanded from a single Buddhist scripture to the publication of biographies of immortals and gods, and I heard that the business is not bad, not as depressed as when it was only nested in the western heavens.
