Chapter 335: Cousin's Friend
But Brother Zhao's big truck has never caused trouble again, and Brother Zhao can finally use it to run long distances to haul goods peacefully.
After the case was over, Lao Xie and I took a long breath, and at first we were most worried that the police would find us and Azanhongban, although we didn't do anything, but this kind of thing would definitely not be clear in front of the officials. It will be troublesome then. But fortunately, the police did not touch this line.
The business was successfully completed. I made a net profit of 5,000 yuan, and Lao Xie and Azanhongban also made their own money, although by the standards of the spell-casting business. This profit is too little, but after all, everyone is very happy to solve the problem for the old customer, and even Xiaowei is very happy, and it is Brother Zhao who can't think of it, he spent more than 30,000 yuan to find us to cast a spell, and he wanted to ask the murderer's family for this money, but he was persuaded by Xiaowei's father. Saying such a thing, it will involve Boss Tian and the Thai mage, making the already closed case more complicated. That money Xiaowei's father said that he could let Brother Zhao pay it back slowly, this is the catastrophe you deserve.
Of course, he is not to blame for this. No one knows which used car has been murdered. There's no way around it. Brother Zhao followed his brother-in-law's advice, and later Xiaowei told me that his uncle worked hard to make money, and after two fat jobs, he paid off the money in four months. Now that he has no debts and his own truck, Brother Zhao has more hope for life, and he no longer complains about the murder car he bought before.
He and Lao Xie and Azan Hongban left Hefei and returned to Thailand, and to show my gratitude, I invited them both to dinner at a high-end restaurant in Bangkok. During the banquet, Lao Xie ate with a mouth full of oil, but Azanhongban didn't eat much. Lao Xie asked: "How about Brother Tian, it's not bad to cooperate with me, right?" ”
I said again and again that it was quite good, Lao Xie said: "In the future, if there is a business of casting spells, try to take care of me and Azanhongban, and the price can slowly rise in the future. ”
"Of course, of course, this broth will definitely fill you up. By the way, why does Master Azan Hongban speak Chinese, is it because he has more dealings with card merchants from China or Chinese in Thailand? "I ask this question that I wanted to ask for a long time.
Azanhongban looked at Lao Xie and didn't speak. He has always been a man of few words, and it seems that all Master Azan is like this, and I am not surprised. Lao Xie smiled: "So far, there is no need to hide it from Brother Tian, let's be honest with you, Azanhongban is not Thai." "I said this, I know, you told me before you went to Hefei.
Old Xie said mysteriously: "Azanhongban is Chinese, I didn't tell you this, right?" ”
I almost squirted out a mouthful of soup, choked and coughed, and looked at Lao Xie and Azanhongban with disbelief, and even Azanhongban smiled. Lao Xie said: "Azan Hongban is a native of Tengchong, Yunnan, his father is a famous shaman in the township, more than five years ago I went to Thailand to do the amulet business, and found that Master Azan, who can practice the Dharma here, is very popular, so I suggested that he come to Thailand to use black witchcraft to make amulet cards and cast spells, and has been doing it until now." ”
I opened my mouth wide and couldn't speak, only then did I know that the background of Azanhongban was actually like this. I asked, "Then how did you and Master Hong Ban meet, and did you deal with Master Hong Ban when you traveled to Tengchong?" ”
Lao Xie laughed again: "No, no one knows this secret, but I think it's not the time to tell you, let's talk about it when I have a chance later." Azanhongban drank the soup, looked at Lao Xie, and still didn't speak. I especially wanted to know the inside story, but with Azanhongban present, it was difficult to ask endless questions, so I had to give up, but I didn't understand what there was to keep secret. It's like how Fang Gang met Azan Baden, if you don't know each other, what else can you sell. What is the name of blood?
When I was about to part, I told Lao Xie that in the future, when Azanhongban casts spells or relieves customers, he can finally take more photos and even videos for a while, and then I upload them to Taobao stores for netizens to watch, so that the advertising effect will be stronger. Old Xie repeatedly agreed, and Azanhongban asked, "Will shooting a video affect the casting of spells?" ”
I said, "Probably not, it's better for your apprentice to do it, so that outsiders don't know the rules and interfere with the spell casting." Azan Hongban nodded.
When I returned to Rayong, my cousin asked me what I was busy with during this time, and I told him that he had just returned from Hefei, and sometimes he would take Master Azan to China to do some business such as casting spells to relieve the head of customers. My cousin sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to come to Thailand to travel at the beginning, but now you have become a brand merchant!" ”
I also smiled and said, "But isn't it, more than two years ago, I didn't even go out of the country, and I never dreamed that I could go into the business of selling Buddhist cards." ”
My cousin opened his purse, took out a business card from the card bag and handed it to me: "This is a customer of mine in Hangzhou, who used to open a canning factory and a real estate company, but the business has been very poor in the past two years. Later, he asked me if I knew that Thai amulets can be transported, and asked me if I knew anyone in this area. I said that my cousin sells Buddhist cards, and he asked you to contact him, and if you are free, you can call and ask, and if you can, you can help, and it doesn't matter if you can't. ”
Looking at the business card, the title written on it is "Chairman of Zhejiang XX Industrial Group Company", and the name is Kong Ling X. Confucius, Meng, and Zeng are all big surnames in China, and people with the surname Confucius are basically descendants of Confucius, and they are typeset according to genealogy, and this gentleman is no exception.
I'm very happy, I like this kind of rich customers the most, as long as it can be successful, the profit will not be bad. Back in the bedroom, I hurriedly pressed the number above, and as soon as I connected it, I heard a very noisy voice, a man and a woman, and a woman said something "I don't want to spend more days with you here".
The other party asked me who I was, and I said, "Are you Mr. Kong, I am Wu Bingcai's cousin, who sells Buddhist cards in Thailand." ”
He sighed, "It's me, it's me." I'm sorry, but after taking care of some household chores, is it convenient to call you in half an hour? I hurriedly said that I could do it at any time.
More than half an hour later, Mr. Kong called, and his tone was polite and a little frustrated: "Let you see and laugh Mr. Tian, people are like this, no one can be relied on when it is difficult." "I guessed in my heart that the woman who was arguing on the phone just now was probably Mr. Kong's wife, and I don't know why the two of them quarreled like this.
Mr. Kong said: "I have been in business for more than ten years, and I have never been at such a low point as now, the property market has not improved, all the funds are bet in it, my five or six properties have been mortgaged to the bank, and it is not enough to repay the interest, and I am preparing to sell the villa on Beishan Road, which can be sold for about 30 million, which is also my last asset." ”
"A villa by the West Lake?" I was very surprised, I went to Hangzhou once with the group, from Beishan Road to Yuemiao, the West Lake is full of villas left over from the Republic of China, many of which were the mansions of great warlords and literati in the past. At that time, the tour guide also introduced that no one sold the villas on this street at all, because the value appreciated every year, and it was worth 20 million this year, and it may be 50 million in a few years. Coupled with Mr. Kong's surname, I estimate that his villa must have been handed down from his ancestors, which is really enviable.
I asked, "Does Mr. Kong want to ask for a Buddhist card?" ”
Mr. Kong said, "Yes, I made you laugh again." People are forced to do this, and they are really sick and rushed to the doctor. I have a good relationship with Boss Wu, and he is very honest in business, so I am willing to believe you. You tell me the truth, I know a lot of businessmen, and they have gone to Thailand to ask for amulets and boys, so can they really be transferred? Or is it the same as those jade pendants invited from Lingyin Temple, which is simply a psychological comfort? ”
I told Mr. Kong that there is a fundamental difference between Thai Buddhist plaques and those Buddhist ornaments in Chinese temples and Taoist temples, and I told him how the Buddhist plaques came about in the first place: "Hundreds of years ago, after the Thai people repaired the temple, they would make a large number of Buddhist plaques, such as thousands or tens of thousands, and put them in the pedestal of the temple tower. When put inside, a ceremony of chanting sutras and blessings will be held by the prestigious Luang Po monk to show solemnity. After dozens or hundreds of years, when the temple falls into disrepair and needs to be renovated or rebuilt with money, the monks will take out the Buddhist plaques in the base of the pagoda and let the devotees subscribe to them to go home, or wear or worship, and the money can be used to build a new temple. And some good believers were surprised to find that after the amulet was invited home, there was a significant change, either because of better luck or an increase in wealth. Since then, the monks of the temple have consciously made various amulets on a regular basis and blessed them, and then asked the devotees to leave, and this custom has been used to this day. ”
