I said, "Just to pick up a cargo, toss me all the way back to Thailand?" Don't you need money for a ticket? Find someone to run errands! ”

Fang Gang said: "You know a fart, Master Azan's address can't be easily revealed to outsiders. ”

Hanging up the phone, I thought to myself that I had worked with Fang Gang for less than a year, and this guy actually trusted me. But I began to hesitate about Ms. Ma again, it seems that Fang Gang can't count on it, do you want to care about this stall without oil and water?

In the afternoon, Ms. Ma called me again, looking very unhappy: "Do you have any way?" If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else! ”

I had to excuse myself and say that there was a shortage of Buddhist cards and I had to wait for the opportunity. Ms. Ma said: "You said that you came from Thailand and could get a Buddha card, and you also came to my house, but why haven't you made an offer yet?" Are you beating me up against my crooked idea? I can tell you, my husband and I have a very good relationship, I have never cheated, you must not make a mistake, be careful that I call the police! ”

I almost vomited when I heard it, and hurriedly said that it would never be possible, if I hit your idea, I would go out and be hacked to death by a thunderbolt. Ms. Ma was relieved, and I said that I would give you an accurate answer in three days at most.

Lying in bed, I thought for a long time that it would be difficult for people like Ms. Ma to integrate into society again after being expelled from school. She doesn't do ordinary work, and state-owned enterprises and public institutions can't get in, after all, she is a teacher and has teaching experience, and the best outcome is to return to school.

Two days later, I returned to Thailand and found the home of Master Azan in white, a small city dozens of kilometers east of Bangkok, according to the address provided by Fang Gang. After seeing the photo of the Buddha plaque that I had just sent in my hand, he said that Master Azan had not made this kind of Dharma perm recently, and he could accept orders after half a month.

At that time, I was afraid that it would be too late, so I had to give up and call Fang Gang to report while going out. At this moment a man came out of the back room quickly, shorter than me, much fatter than me, about forty years old. Dressed very rustic, but full of spring breeze, carrying a large black plastic bag in his hand.

We both walked out at the same time, and after the call, I looked down at the picture on the phone screen, the man was walking behind me, and I could feel him sticking his neck out to look at my phone. When he walked out of the gate and came to the street, he asked kindly, "Brother, you know Master Azan, do you want to ask for it or take the goods?" "He heard that I was talking on the phone in Chinese, so he spoke Chinese to me, and the accent should be from near the Central Plains.

Over the past year or so, Fang Gang and I have been to many of Master Azan's residences, and we often see people picking up goods from Azan's house. With a kind smile on his face, he looked like he should be kind and warm-hearted, so he replied: "No, I'm looking for a red-eyed hot Buddhist card." ”

He sighed and said, "Brother, we are all in the business of Buddha cards, what business will you have in the future, don't forget to take care of each other, this is my business card!" ”

There are two things that impress me most about this man, one is his always kind and kind smile, and the other is his business card. After many years, I still remember very clearly, the business card was very simple, with only three lines printed:

Global International, Southeast Asia, Thai-Chinese Buddhist Jewelry Transportation Group

General Manager: Lao Xie

Phone: XXXXXXXX

The back of the business card is printed with three lines of translated Thai. At first, I didn't understand too much, but after reading the first line carefully, I realized that in fact, the name of the company was more popular, and it was nothing more than a "person who shipped and sold Buddhist cards from Thailand to China". I laughed while watching, and Lao Xie hurriedly added: "Don't laugh, the Buddha card is big business." I nodded repeatedly.

Lao Xie said: "Listen to your accent should be from Liaoning, I am from Xiantao, Hubei, my wife is from Liaoning, you are also half of my fellow countrymen, if there is anything in the future, just open your mouth, wrap it up on my Lao Xie!" ”

I thought about it, this Lao Xie is in the same business as Fang Gang, maybe he has channels and prices that Fang Gang does not have, and it is not a bad thing to have multiple upstreams, not someone said: Don't put your eggs in the same basket! So he asked him: "I want something that can significantly improve my popularity, the price is not too expensive, the price in my hand cannot exceed 2,000 yuan, and as long as the famous temple Long Po is genuine, don't be yin." This is urgent, you have to write back to me as soon as possible. "Now the Buddha brand business is not easy to do, and I don't want to go to the volume, so I set a rule for myself, except for old customers and special circumstances, the profit of each business must be more than 3,000 yuan, otherwise do not do.

Lao Xie said repeatedly: "No problem, wrap it up on me, wait for me to call and ask Master Azan first, and I'll reply to you in a while!" ”

When they were about to part, Lao Xie smiled and had to shake hands with me: "Brother Tian, our first cooperation between the two of us went so smoothly, and there will definitely be a lot of money to be made in the future." I don't know where Brother Tian's business focus is? ”

I said, "Mainly at home." ”

Lao Xie's face bloomed with a smile: "That's good, we Chinese's money is the best to earn, you can call if you have any requirements in the future, there is nothing that my Lao Xie can't do!" ”

On the way to Fang Gang's house, I received an MMS message from Lao Xie, which was a positive picture of a Buddhist card, although the style was a little strange, but it was still an ordinary law. Then Lao Xie called: "This Buddhist plaque was consecrated six years ago by Master Luang Po of a large temple in Chiang Rai, and it is my family's inventory, and I originally planned to collect it, but if you want to be in a hurry, I will transfer it to you first." I was invited for 12,000 baht, we are good friends, and I don't make more money from you, 15,000 baht. The first cooperation, in order to show sincerity, I can take a freight and send the goods directly to your customers in China for you, how about it? ”

I asked, "Which Luang Po monk is this, and why doesn't it look like the real thing?" ”

Lao Xie said, "Why not? Can I still lie to you, I don't trust my friends so much. I forget what happened a few years ago. "I thought to myself, isn't it just 3,000 yuan, if the tide rises, I can also increase the price. I sent Ms. Ma an MMS message and sent her the picture, saying that this is the Buddhist plaque of the largest temple in Bangkok, Thailand, which has been opened by a monk, 6,000 yuan, a fixed price, if it is too expensive, there is no way, I can only wait until next month, or you can ask someone else.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Ma immediately called: "That's it, my husband and I felt very close as soon as we saw the picture, did you say that it was the magic of the Buddha card?" ”

To be honest, I can't really answer this question, but I must say yes again and again. Ms. Ma asked how many days to arrive, whether they can meet and trade, I hate this way of trading, for Ms. Ma and his wife, they must not trust others, especially such goods as Buddha cards. He said: "I've already returned to Thailand, and the cross-border express delivery is not so fast, I'm afraid I can only send it directly to you." ”

Ms. Ma really asked in disbelief: "How do I know if the amulet you sent is real or fake, and whether it has any effect?" In fact, I also asked other amulet dealers, they only sell one or two thousand yuan, and there are several hundred, why are you so expensive? ”

"There's no way, you get what you pay for, those of us who do the Buddha card business, rely on word-of-mouth and friend introductions, the kind of hundreds of Buddha cards, it's no different from ordinary Guanyin necklaces, I think there is an effect, it is purely psychological. The effect of a real Thai amulet is not something that can be seen in a day or two, and I can't wait until you think it works before you pay. This industry is very special, even if you go to Thailand, please Buddha card is also the left hand money and the right hand goods, there is no time to inspect the goods for you, you think about it yourself. I replied.

The next morning, Ms. Ma texted me and said that she would believe me once, but she wanted to go through Taobao trading, and of course I agreed.

When he arrived at Fang Gang's house, this guy's feet were really swollen like a hump. In the process, I answered a phone call, and the customer dictated the address and asked me to record it, so I took out a notepad from my pocket and wrote something, and accidentally took out a few business cards and scattered them on the bed. Fang Gang picked up the business cards and looked at them, and suddenly his eyes widened, as if he had seen an enemy. As soon as I hung up, he pointed to a business card and asked, "Where did you get this business card?" ”
