Chapter 301: Couplet
As a foreign surname of our Tianji lineage, even if I suddenly made this decision that surprised him, Zheng Haibing would definitely not raise any objections.
He even stood in the perspective of our Tianji lineage, and named the organization I planned to establish Tianjimen.
The Heavenly Dao Gate represents the Heavenly Dao and represents the supreme existence, which does sound quite domineering.
But it is precisely because of this that the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect regard themselves as supreme beings one by one, and ordinary people as ants.
The so-called heavenly machine cannot be revealed, and the word heavenly machine represents the will of God to a certain extent, but there is a sense of mystery even more.
Compared with the Heavenly Dao Gate, I don't think the name of the Heavenly Machine Gate is bad at all.
Therefore, I very much recognize the name taken by Zheng Haibing, and I, the contemporary descendant of the Tianji lineage, naturally became the first master of the Tianji Gate.
But after the establishment of the Heavenly Machine Gate, how should we run this organization?
Most of the tasks of the Heavenly Dao Gate are officially assigned tasks, and in addition to the official, the Heavenly Dao Sect also cultivates some big fools like Master Lin to raise funds for the operation of the Heavenly Dao Gate.
And our Tianji Gate currently counts Zheng Haibing, Xu Yihua and Wu Shun, plus me, the master of the gate, there are only four people in total.
Therefore, in the short term, the official will definitely look down on our Tianjimen, a weak organization that has just been established, and it is impossible to cooperate with our Tianjimen.
In this case, we can only have one way to go.
If we want Tianjimen to survive, earn the first pot of gold, and then slowly develop and grow, we must first beat our reputation out.
And if we want to make our Tianji Gate famous, I think the best way is to use the means that we are best at in Tianji to show people fortune-telling and feng shui.
Of course, if there is any supernatural case and you need to subdue demons and catch ghosts, we will also accept it.
Like Master Lin, who can mix up the wind and water, I don't believe that with my ability, I can't start the reputation of our Tianjimen in a short period of time?
And after I put forward my idea, Zheng Haibing and they all raised their hands in approval, and even Zheng Haibing said that he had made great achievements in cultivating the "Great Zhou Heavenly Divine Technique" and some physiognomy techniques I taught him during this time, and he could do it with a simple look.
Little Lori Xu Yihua is even more of a genius, she said that she has broken through the Yellow Order, and has become a Xuan-level physiognomy master, not to mention showing people's faces, she can even count fortune-telling.
And Xu Yihua also deliberately emphasized, saying that she counted the classmates in their class very accurately, and she already had a lot of fame in their school.
When it came to the level of the phase master, Zheng Haibing was hit by Xu Yihua, so Zheng Haibing immediately changed the topic and talked about what he was best at.
Because Zheng Haibing's family is in business, Zheng Haibing, who has been affected since he was a child, is very smart in terms of business.
He said that if we want to make a name for ourselves in the short term, we must have a fixed venue and signboard, and then use this place as a base to undertake business for our Tianjimen.
And Zheng Haibing also said that our place must be in a place where the flow of people is relatively large, and it is related to fortune-telling and feng shui.
The most critical point is that our place must have a large enough scene, and the decoration must be of high grade.
When Zheng Haibing said this, we all thought that what he said was very reasonable, so we decided to find such a venue.
In the end, the five of us ran almost all over Xi'an before we found a storefront for rent on the pedestrian street of the City God Temple.
Needless to say, the flow of people here in the City God Temple, and most of the fortune tellers in Xi'an are in the City God Temple.
The area of this store is close to 200 square meters, and the location is very good, and it is precisely because of these two points that the landlord who rents it quoted a price that I think is sky-high.
The landlord said that the rent would be paid for a one-time year, 50,000 yuan a month, plus a two-month deposit, and a total of 700,000 yuan would be paid to him before he would rent the store to us.
We said that the price was too expensive for us to accept, but who knew that the landlord said that the Bu Tiange next door to this store is making money every day, and his store is definitely a feng shui treasure, if we don't rent it, he can rent out this store in minutes.
The landlord said that Bu Tiange, I probably glanced at this store when I looked at it, and the business scope seemed to be similar to ours, and it was also a fortune-telling and fortune-telling thing.
And the name of Bu Tiange is very domineering, but in my opinion, the name of the store is like this, and the boss of Bu Tiange is a charlatan or a big fool nine times out of ten.
However, there are many people who are stupid and have a lot of money these days, and many people are willing to be fooled by charlatans.
If we open the store of Tianjimen next to Bu Tiange and try to let some people be deceived as little as possible, it can be regarded as a meritorious thing.
And there is another point, I believe that with my ability, in the case of fair competition, Bu Tiange will definitely not be able to compete with me.
So, I felt it was necessary to rent this storefront.
But I need money to rent a storefront, and I'm a poor guy who can't afford to rent out this store.
In this case, I, the first master of the Tianji Gate, was a little aggrieved.
Fortunately, I have Zheng Haibing, a good apprentice, who saw that I wanted to rent this store, so without saying a word, he took out 5,000 yuan from his wallet and paid a deposit to the landlord, saying that we would pay him the rent and deposit within three days.
Later, a few of us found a restaurant, and while eating, we discussed where to go to make up the 700,000?
I don't have a penny, I have to rely on them!
But I assured them that as long as the store was functioning, it would not be difficult to make 700,000 yuan.
Zheng Haibing said that he had saved all the New Year's money given to him by his elders since he was a child, as well as the money he earned when he was doing tasks, so he had almost more than 400,000 yuan in his bank card, and he could take it all out if needed.
Little Lori Xu Yihua said that her New Year's money and pocket money can also be contributed, and she should have a look of more than 100,000 yuan.
Wu Shun made a little money by doing tasks and collecting rent last year, and he contributed all his money, almost 100,000 yuan.
Xu Yihua, Wu Shun and Zheng Haibing have a total of almost 700,000 yuan, but for such a large store, it costs a lot of money to decorate, so 700,000 yuan is not enough.
In this case, Fu Yuqian, the girl, took out the money she had saved over the years and used it as the decoration fee for our Tianjimen store.
In this way, the next day we scraped together the money and handed it over to the landlord, and after signing the contract with the landlord, we were going to find someone to decorate.
However, after signing the contract with us, the landlord asked us what we were going to do with this storefront.
And when I told him that he was going to open a fortune-telling and feng shui shop, the landlord shook his head again and again, saying that we opened a fortune-telling and feng shui shop next door to Bu Tiange.
While we haven't renovated yet, hurry up and think of another business, selling incense and candles, Buddha statues or anything, don't do the same business as Bu Tiange.
If we don't listen to him, our 700,000 yuan will be worth it!
The landlord's people are actually not bad, but we certainly won't be affected by him.
So we found a renovation company and started renovating the storefront.
The interior decoration of the store is all done by Zheng Haibing and Fu Yuqian, and the inside of the store is antique, and it looks very high-end and high-grade.
The name of the store is that I personally wrote the three big characters of Tianjimen with a brush, and let the people of the decoration company make a large bronzing character and paste it on the top of the store.
The signboard of the storefront, which I also wrote with a brush, asked the decoration company to make a large gilding letter, and stood it in the most conspicuous place outside the store.
On the front of the signboard, I wrote about physiognomy, fortune telling, feng shui, and solving all kinds of human and non-human factors, while on the back of the signboard, I wrote a couplet.
The upper part of the couplet is: Those who do good deeds and accumulate virtue do not receive a penny.
The next couplet is: The causal ones start with a million.
