Chapter 23: Amulet Shop
I hurriedly said, "No." Fang Gang said: "Tell you again, don't look for him." He opened the safe and took out dozens of Buddha cards, as well as a dozen or so Kuman Tong, "These are all genuine cards of the big temple, several of them are limited editions, and Kuman Tong is too." There are price tags attached to them, and you can pay for whichever one you like. ”
I happily fiddled with the amulet cards, and sure enough, some of the blessings of the amulet Master Luang Po had passed away and become out of print, and the price tag was written on a very low amount, apparently the price from a few years ago. I said, "How much do you mark-up?" I want them all. ”
Fang Gang glared at me: "You think I only recognize money?" ”
I was secretly happy in my heart, and Fang Gang said again: "Let's pay three times the price of the price tag." ”
I was disappointed: "I thought you wouldn't increase the price, is it a little more expensive to triple it?" ”
Fang Gang was furious: "Do you know how many people pay a high price to buy these limited edition stocks?" The dog bites Lu Dongbin, it's not for sale, take it and bring it! ”
I hurriedly covered the amulet with both arms: "I'm kidding you, why not?" I'm going to do it all! ”
Fang Gang looked at me angrily, looking dissatisfied with me. I smiled and kept an account in my notebook while picking things out, and I picked a total of more than 20 Buddhist plaques, fifteen or sixteen Kuman Tong. That night, I withdrew money from the bank to Fang Gang, and by the way, I invited him to drink and dance at KTV, and several beauties hugged him left and right, and this guy's anger calmed down a little.
I invited a lot of genuine and ancient cards in the nearby temple, which are not expensive, plus the ones I bought from Fang Gang, there are nearly 100 genuine cards alone, as well as more than 30 ancient man children and more than a dozen runes, in addition to the money mother, biting money tiger and other small things such as opening light. Then I went to the temple and bought a lot of Buddhist ornaments, which filled five or six large cardboard boxes, packed them and mailed them back to China by transnational courier. For fear of causing trouble, I didn't play the Yin card and the ground boy, so as not to lead the trouble to the store at the time.
More than ten days later, I returned to Shenyang, got the business license done, and then found a decoration company to change the house facing the street into a Buddhist brand shop according to my design, the decoration style is the same as that of a Thai temple, and it looks exotic. In a two-bedroom house, the front room is a shop, and the back room can be used as a person and a warehouse, killing two birds with one stone. The name of the store is called "Thailand Rayong Buddha Guman Store", which is the same as the name of my Taobao store, indicating that the physical store is the only one, there is no semicolon, and the goods are regularly shipped by air from Thailand, and customers and friends in the surrounding areas of Liaoning can go directly to the store to pick and buy.
The Buddhist brand shop was quickly renovated, I called Wang Jiao and Sun Xicai, and the three of them put things in the store one after another. The two of them happily looked here and there in the store. Wang Jiao said: "Well, yes, there is a computer desk here, usually you watch a movie on the Internet, and you can make room for a few friends, you can still drink and play mahjong on the table." ”
I hurriedly said: "I asked you two to come to watch the store to do business, not to eat, drink and have fun, you still want Xicai to transform my Buddhist brand shop into a mahjong club?" ”
Wang Jiao came to my side, put her arm around me and smiled: "How can it? People are teasing you, and you take it seriously! ”
Sun Xicai looked at Wang Jiao, who was tired of being by my side, and hurriedly said, "Quickly put these things over!" ”
The Buddha brand shop was officially opened, the day was quite lively, there were more than a dozen old customers in Shenyang and surrounding cities came to send flower baskets, these people are from my hands to invite the Buddha card and Guman, for their own life, career and work has been obviously helpful. In fact, many times it is a psychological effect, but they think that it is the Buddha card that works. The Buddha card, to some extent, plays the role of religious belief, some people wear the Thai Buddha card, as if they have a Shang Fang sword, their confidence is greatly increased, their own aura changes, and it also affects their future fate, but they themselves do not know, and they do not want to admit it.
I handed over the Taobao store to Wang Jiao and Sun Xicai to take care of, and then popularized the knowledge of Thai Buddhist cards to them, and started business. At that time, there were not many Buddha card stores in Shenyang, and many people were holding the mentality of watching the excitement into the store, and they saw that each Buddha card was at least 1,000 yuan, and there were limited editions and out-of-print Buddha cards priced at five or six thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, and they were so scared that they turned around and left. Only a few people who know about amulets and have been to Thailand or have worn them will pick and buy them. After a month, only six cheap genuine cards were sold, and five of them were picked up by customers in the province in my Taobao store after placing orders.
At the end of the month, the profit of the six Buddha cards was 7,000, and after deducting the expenses and rent, there were 4,000 yuan left, and I and they shared 2,000 each. When I handed over the money to Wang Jiao, Sun Xicai was struggling with his teeth, obviously very dissatisfied, and did not meet his psychological expectations: "This day is not profitable!" At the end of the month, it was only 2,000 yuan, which is not as much as the two of us working together! ”
I smiled: "If you open a store and make a lot of money, you have to cultivate it slowly." ”
Wang Jiao also said: "That is, it's good to make money in the first month of opening the store, you are really not satisfied." ”
Sun Xicai said: "Brother Tian, these things of yours are so expensive, and they are not gold and silver jewelry, who can buy them?" Let's just say that this Buddha card, the price is 8888 yuan, there is no gold, only some silver, and the rest is made of copper, iron and even clay, why is it so expensive? Shenyang people are not wronged! ”
I said, "You don't understand, this Buddha plaque was made and blessed by the famous Thai monk Long Po Yan in his early years, and now it is out of print, and I don't want to sell it for more than 8,000." Goods are sold to know the family, sooner or later there are people who know the goods, even if they can't be sold, it doesn't matter, these goods can also be used to prove the authority of our Buddha card shop. ”
Sun Xicai's face was stretched like Changbai Mountain, I knew what kind of virtue he was, so I ignored him. Wang Jiao smiled and said, "Brother, when the shop is closed, I will invite you to eat barbecue." ”
Sun Xicai was unhappy again: "Can you bring me with you?" It's us who invite, not me! ”
Wang Jiao patted him on the head: "You have a lot of business, okay, when the shop is closed, the two of us will invite you to eat barbecue, brother, okay?" I smiled wryly and agreed.
In the blink of an eye, I have been in Shenyang for a month, the business of the Buddha brand shop is still relatively light, every time I go to the store to inspect, I see Sun Xicai boring online watching TV series, Wang Jiao using the mobile phone to chat QQ. Sun Xicai began to often send text messages to me to complain, saying that opening this shop is not profitable, it is better to invest in a mahjong parlor, of course I was unmoved, thinking don't say that I don't help you, the Buddha brand shop is also a store, it depends on whether you can stick to it.
That night, I was talking to a customer on the phone, and the person said that he wanted to hire a Kuman in order to make money for his shop. I suddenly remembered that many shops in Thailand ask Kuman to put in the store to attract business, bless wealth, and even confuse customers. Why don't I also get a statue of Kuman Tong and put it in the Buddhist brand shop, and then add the kind of incense stick or cone incense stick specially dedicated to the spirit Kuman, all of which are added with special ingredients, so that it will be effective? Although this method is a bit sideways, in order to make money, no matter how much it takes, no one can die anyway.
I immediately called Fang Gang and asked him to get a statue of Kuman Tong who had entered the female spirit from Azan TAM, plus a few boxes of special incense sticks. The recipe for these incense is special, in addition to the regular spices, the ashes powder of the young female corpse is added.
After the things were sent to Shenyang, I immediately put Kuman Tong in the corner of the door of the Buddhist brand shop and recited the mantra of the spiritual induction. Sun Xicai sat at the table playing games, Wang Jiao looked curiously next to him, and asked, "Brother, what is this, beckoning cat?" ”
I smiled and told her not to worry too much, just light a few sticks of incense every day when the shop opens, and buy some fresh fruits, snacks and drinks and put them in front of Kuman Thong. At the same time, he handed her a piece of paper, on which was a Pali mantra marked in Chinese, a mantra written by Azan TAM himself, which belonged to a type of exorcism mantra. I asked her and Sun Xicai to memorize this mantra and recite it in a low voice every day when no one was around, mainly to prevent the two of them from having adverse effects on the spiritual Kuman Thong and incense sticks when they visited the store, such as dizziness and discomfort, and even trance.
I told Wang Jiao that it is best to be in the store when there is no one in the store when reciting the mantra, so as not to make people think that you are doing something. Wang Jiao picked up a string of stars and moon Bodhi on the table: "It's okay, when I read it, I will let him coil this string of beads, and I am not afraid of being heard, I think he is reciting Buddhist scriptures!" ”
Sun Xicai said while playing games: "I don't make money every day, and I can make business boom just by relying on this Gu Man Tong?" Wang Jiao stared at Sun Xicai with her eyes, and I ignored him.
A few days later, Sun Xicai called me, in addition to reporting the situation in the store, and said an important information, during this time, all customers who entered the store did not necessarily buy things, but the time to stop increased significantly, and some people would look at the Buddha Guman in the store in a daze, or chat with the two of them without a match. Some customers are aggrieved, and some people say that they are dizzy when they enter the store, in short, there are various phenomena.
