Chapter 364 Merchant Means
The matter was handed over to Chen Yihan, and the three of us put it behind for the time being. It was not early, and the three of us found a small restaurant to eat.
I looked at the time and gave Qian Lan a call.
Qian Lan was still late to answer the phone, but she was as enthusiastic as ever.
"Xiaolin, why did you call at this time? Is there something going on over there in the demolition? If you want us to fill in anything and submit materials, you just have to say. ”
I replied, "Aunt Qian, it's not about demolition. I just want to ask, how was the soul called yesterday? Is there any progress? ”
Qian Lan paused for a few seconds before hesitantly saying, "I haven't seen the progress yet." The master also said that this matter did not come to an end so quickly. He specializes in this and has helped many people call souls. My mom is a bit complicated......"
"Oh, that's right." I'm a little dazed.
In addition to the division of monks, Taoist priests, and goddesses, this supernatural expert also has such a small branch, which is specifically responsible for calling souls?
Qian Lan said: "What's the situation, Auntie must tell you." Thank you for your concern. ”
"Where, I'm bothering you."
"It's okay, it's okay. Heck, there aren't many young people like you who are so enthusiastic, it's good. Have you eaten? ”
"Just ate it."
"Oooh. You're going to be busy in the afternoon, right? ”
"Well, it's going to run two."
"Then I won't bother you. You guys work hard. ”
"Hmm......" As soon as I spoke, the phone hung up.
"What's wrong?" The fat man asked.
"I always feel weird." I said with some confusion.
I don't have much contact with Qian Lan, and my only impression of her is that she is a warm-hearted aunt, and if you want to add another label, she is a filial daughter. Qian Lan didn't seem to want to talk about the soul calling, and I thought it might not go well.
The thin man said, "Could it be that the number of roads is not right?" ”
I froze, "What? ”
"Calling the soul, generally speaking, it is to shout twice, pay more attention, isn't it to consider the right time, place and people, calculate the time and place, and choose a person who calls the soul. So what's there to hide? Isn't this the same as people doing business and offering the God of Wealth in the office? If it's a normal offering to the God of Wealth, it's generous, but what if you use something like a witch? The thin man touched his chin, "Brother Qi, you also told us that the people of Aoba will also order that kind of improper means." People like them will do it whether they use it or not, right? ”
I frowned.
The fat man asked, "Is it possible to make a blood sacrifice?" is the same as in the Xianxia movie, what kind of big array is it that kills 10,000 people and resurrects people? ”
"If we have this ability, we should have dark clouds and thunder and lightning above our heads now." The thin man laughed.
"Shall we go and see?" I interrupted the two of them in their rambling.
Yesterday, Qian Lan didn't say that we should go to see it, but in and out of words, hints and explicits, they all said that it was inconvenient for the family to receive people recently, and she also assured that the people invited were very reliable. I was relieved at the time, and it would be better if Qian Lan could solve it herself. But today I called and asked, but it was such a result, which made me uneasy.
"If I go, will it make a difference? Isn't that very particular? The fat man didn't agree.
When I heard it, I thought it made sense. This kind of scene of killing people after breaking into chaos is also very common in film and television films. I'm a little mentally prepared to die, and I'm still skeptical about being a pig teammate.
"If you want to go, you can't go now. It's almost time to go. The thin man said.
The time to make an appointment with the other owner was almost up, and the three of us set off and began the long and tedious work again.
Looking at the old and sluggish owners, I occasionally think that it would be much easier for us to make everyone as rich as everybody. But the reality is that there is only one person who often makes a fortune, and we still have to explain some policies of demolition and relocation to those old people loudly and slowly.
When he returned to the car, the thin man poured several sips of water and asked, "How many more families do you want to run?" ”
"There are more than a dozen households. It's not bad. "I ticked off the list with my name and contact details to indicate that I had completed another item.
"Do you want to go to Qianlan's community? Just take a look at the entrance of the community. The fat man said.
"Hmm." I nodded.
The thin man screwed the cap of the bottle, put down the water bottle, folded his hands, and prayed with words: "Don't see anything bad." ”
His pretense, and the fat man and I ignored it.
"Brother Qi, can I leave early the day after tomorrow?" The fat man asked as he drove.
"How?" I subconsciously asked.
"The day after tomorrow, 100 years of Valentine's Day?" The thin man reacted very quickly, and slapped the fat man on the shoulder, "Okay, you kid, have you got Xue Jingyue?" ”
"Hey, hey." The fat man smirked.
I was a little confused, "What is Centennial Valentine?" Valentine's Day isn't the day after tomorrow, is it? ”
"Brother Qi, you don't know? It's something that some unscrupulous merchant has been stirring up since the year before! "The thin man was very excited," made up a story, saying that in ancient times, a famous person got married on this day, died on this day, and was married for exactly a hundred years, which is too romantic! Then he got married on that day, and his family store was holding activities. Romantic ghost! Last year, I went to a random restaurant to eat at night, and when I paid the bill, I found that the price had tripled! ”
The thin man clearly had a deep grudge against this.
It sounded familiar to me, "I think I've heard of ......."
The thin man chattered, "Brother Qi, haven't you watched the news in the first two years?" Half of the media is bought and hyped, and the other half is there to criticize and write, which is a marketing strategy, price kidnapping, a monopoly, but it is useless. In the first year of the year before last, everyone was gossiping news, and last year there were people who complained about unscrupulous businesses, and this year everyone celebrated happily together. ”
The thin man said, gesturing out the window.
Only then did I realize that the storefronts along the way had been newly decorated. I thought it was winter, and I changed the window set, but I didn't expect it to be a centennial Valentine's Day. This marketing has done a lot of money.
"I remember, it's the Longfei Group that takes the lead, right?" I gradually recalled the lively media war in the past two years, "Longfei Mall has all started promotional activities. The first time was to celebrate their boss's wedding? ”
"Mr. Long Fei got married for the second time that day." The thin man said. He remembered it well.
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened around the world. Many of the festivals, concepts, and common sense that people are familiar with now are instilled in consumers by businessmen in pursuit of profit and through marketing methods. Spend a huge cost, once you succeed, the next thing is once and for all, a hundred times the profit. To say that the consumer is the victim, that is not to say.
"Decided where to go on a date?" I asked the fat man with a smile.
"Well, I bought a movie ticket and booked dinner. I want to leave early and go to the florist to pick up the flowers. "The fat man smiled silly.
"Okay. Then you should leave early the day after tomorrow. I nodded.
"It's vulgar." The thin man complained.
"It can't be vulgar. Isn't everyone like that? The flesh on the fat man's face shook, "The most important thing is that it's expensive." Movie tickets have tripled, restaurants have risen fivefold, and roses have risen more than tenfold. ”
"You are a rich second generation, pretending to be poor." The thin man does not pick up this stubble.
"The rich second generation can't stand such a price increase. It's still the merchant who is the happiest. The fat man said.
"You can brainwash Xue Jingyue. What's there to do with this kind of seller's activity? The thin man was vehemently resistant to this. It seems that the meal he was cheated for was a lot of money.
"I just fell in love, and you let me do this kind of death-defying thing?" The fat man squinted at the thin man, "What kind of heart do you have?" ”
The thin man smiled, pretending to be deep, "I'm teaching you experience." When you are pursuing, when you first start dating, you have to behave well, and you want to please girls, that's not reliable. A lesson in blood and tears! You look at me back then, I started a start, and the next thing was an endless number of visits to the medium. ”
The fat man and I both laughed.
"You don't have to buy gifts, and you don't have to think about how to arrange dates, isn't it?" I teased.
"Heh, heh."
"How is Xue Jingyue? Have you had any bad luck lately? "I changed the subject.
