Fang Gang scolded: "Fuck, I should have left you in the mountains in the first place, and I came back alone!" ”

I laughed and said, "You brought it back before I had enough fun, and you are to blame." Fang Gang ignored me, turned his head, and reached out to touch the masseuse's thigh. The woman asked Fang Gang if he had any other interests, and the two began to negotiate the price.

One night when I returned to my cousin's house, my junior high school classmate who ran a travel agency in Shenyang left me a message on QQ, saying that he was chatting in a QQ group of tour guides, and talked about Thai Buddhist cards in the chat.

My classmate's surname is Guo, and he said that his classmate sells Buddhist cards in Thailand. Mr. Nalu said. He often leads groups to Southeast Asia, and when he went to Thailand two months ago, he also invited a Buddhist card back in the hand of a brand dealer, saying that it was blessed by a monk. It can drive away any evil spirit. But it didn't work after he got home, and then the dealer ignored it, so he didn't have a good impression of the Buddha merchant.

"Tian Qi, although I haven't met that Lao Lu much, we have a good relationship, and I have also booked special tickets for him several times. Later, we had a private chat, and I said that my classmate was a reliable card dealer, and asked him to contact him, and then talk about whether it was successful or not. Lao Lu asked me for your phone number, you can contact yourself, he may go to Thailand tomorrow to lead a group. "Guo told me on QQ. I replied that there was no problem, and if I could make a deal, I would definitely invite him to dinner next time I went back to Shenyang.

After several days, Mr. Lu did not call me. I thought to myself that this person is really unreliable, but then I thought, I myself often meet this kind of customer, first understand and inquire with you for a long time, saying that I will contact you, but then there is no follow-up. It's normal for a customer to change their mind, or maybe they happen to find a solution that they think is better.

At about two o'clock in the morning, my mobile phone rang wildly, and if it weren't for the habit I had developed over the past two years of doing business, I would have dropped it. I picked it up and listened to it in a daze, it was a man's voice, with a thick Hunan accent, and asked me if I was Tian Qi. Anyone who called me from an unfamiliar number had no one but the customer, so I answered directly yes and asked him to have something to say.

The man said: "I am a friend of Guo XX, surnamed Lu, and I work as a tour guide in an international travel agency in Changsha. Mainly run to Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. "As soon as I heard that Mr. Lu was introduced by my classmate, my anger disappeared by half, but I thought again. Why do these customers like to call in the middle of the night?

Mr. Lu said: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late, because my mental state has been very bad recently, and I have had nightmares, and I was awakened by a nightmare just now, and I ...... I sent you two photos, would you like to take a look at them first? I'll call you again in ten minutes. "At that time, there were no smartphones, and the mobile phone was at most a Symbian system, so I had to hang up the phone, open the inbox, and find that there was indeed an MMS message, which contained two photos, a frontal and side photo of a man in his thirties. It was supposed to be taken in the bathroom, and his face was full of scratches, and I thought to myself, either he has a cat or a wife.

A few minutes later, Mr. Lu called. I asked, "What's the matter with this scratch, scratching myself in a dream?" ”

"I don't know, it's like this when I just woke up, it hurts a lot." Mr. Lu said. "It's the second time, and I thought it was a nightmare that I scratched it, but my nails had just been cut and I was bald. I can't scratch it like this, and there's nothing in my nails. ”

I asked if you have any pets at home, or if your wife has a habit of sleepwalking. "I divorced two years ago and have been living alone all the time, and I don't like pets. I often go out to lead the group, I don't go home for a few days or ten days, and I can't keep a pet. ”

Among my previous clients, there are really not many who are tour guides. There have been a few tour guides who said that they were afraid that they would not be familiar with life in a foreign country, and because of cultural differences, they would inevitably encounter something they did not know much about, so they asked me for a safe Buddhist card. But it was the first time that the tour guide had an accident himself. Mr. Lu's symptoms reminded me of a Vietnamese monkey farmer who sold too many monkeys, which angered the monkeys, and he would always be caught in the flesh and blood when he slept at night.

So I asked, "Mr. Lu." Did you do anything strange or meet any strange people before you had these symptoms? ”

Mr. Lu replied: "This is really not, because I often go to Southeast Asia." You also know that these countries are mysterious, and I can't guarantee that I have encountered or bumped into anything, but I don't know. So I wanted to ask for a Buddhist card, but I had previously found a Chinese who sold Buddhist cards in Thailand, and said that it was a very effective genuine card, but it was completely useless to me. Later, I asked a Thai friend to identify it, and he said that it was a Buddhist card made of a machine. It's not powerful at all. ”

"There are also a lot of fakes in Thailand now, so be careful to identify them." I say.

Mr. Lu smiled wryly: "I often go to Thailand, and I know that there are many temples built by local people for Chinese tourists, and when we lead groups, we mainly go to that kind of temple. The amulets they invited at the temple were all mass-produced. That's clear to me. So I never went to the temple to ask for a Buddhist card, but asked someone to find a Chinese card dealer in Thailand, but I didn't expect to be deceived, it's really impossible to prevent it! ”

I told him. I've been a dealer in Thailand for more than two years, and I've never sold fake cards, but to be honest, I've also sold commercial or mechanical cards that don't have much mana, but that's also because customers aren't demanding. The bid is extremely low, and this amulet can only be used as an ornament, or to seek psychological comfort.

Mr. Lu said: "Yes, yes, I know this very well. So I still want to ask for a Buddha card that really has effect and mana. I looked at my watch. It was only half past two, and he said that I should go to bed first, and you will call me again at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then you will have to describe the symptoms to me. The more detailed, the better. Mr. Lu asked me where I was in Thailand and I said it was in Rayong.

He said: "It just so happens that I am leading a group in Bangkok these days, so can we meet and talk?" Tomorrow afternoon, my group will have two hours of free time, you see...... "I said that in order to save your time, I can go to Bangkok to meet you, but I will charge a carriage fee, at least 2,000 baht." If we complete the cooperation between us. For example, if you ask for a Buddha card from me, you can reduce it for 2,000 baht. Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment, asked if it was okay with 1,000 baht, and said that the bus ticket from Rayong to Bangkok was only about 100 baht.

"I charge for time, not for travel. I have a lot of business to run every day, and this one takes hours to go back and forth, and I can ask for a dozen Buddhist cards when I go to the temple. I told him. Mr. Lu reluctantly agreed.

People sleep most soundly in the early hours of the morning, and once disturbed, it is difficult to connect the dreams. After lunch, I took a bus to Bangkok and met Mr. Lu at a drink shop near the station. Mr. Lu was wearing an Adidas sports T-shirt and short sleeves, a cross-body leather bag, and a Swiss watch, and he looked to have a good income. He was not tall but physically strong. His face was covered in blood, and he looked very tired. I looked at his face, which was more striking than last night's photo. Mr. Lu sighed: "I can't come out to see people with this face, the tourists in the group are pointing behind my back, and some people even asked me if I called a special service last night and was scratched by a woman!" I smiled in my heart, but I still had to pretend to be serious on my face, and after ordering two glasses of mango juice, Mr. Lu began to tell me.

He got his tour guide certificate five or six years ago and started to do this, mainly running with groups in Southeast Asian countries. The income is not bad, maybe he is more familiar with Guo, and Mr. Lu didn't hide much from me, saying that his income was mainly in the recovery of deductions and commissions. Under his guidance, tourists go to gold shops, jewelry shops and temples to spend, and the tour guides have rebates, and these incomes account for more than 70% of his total income.

Among the Southeast Asian countries, Thailand is the most developed in tourism, so the places where Mr. Lu runs the most are Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. The tour group he led has several hotels in Bangkok that often cooperate, which are cheap and have a good environment, and every time he goes to Bangkok, he basically stays in these hotels. About two or three months ago, a XXX hotel in the southeast of Bangkok called Mr. Lu and asked if he had any intention of long-term cooperation.
