We took Xiao Kun’s car and walked home. Xiao Kun said nothing, but when we expressed our gratitude, he responded symbolically.
This incident also made me understand that although we have done a lot for the dragon veins of the Xiao family, with Xiao Kun’s current social status and identity, he is not willing to have too much intersection with us, at least he is not willing to let outsiders know Our relationship with him is also the reason why other people are here, but Brother Zheng is asked to come out to save us.
Because I was hurt all over and I was ashamed of seeing people with big eyes, I stayed at home for a week.
During this period, Da Yan repeatedly expressed his willingness to let me continue to partner with him to open a store, because after Zhang Ling asked me to return to Manjiang, he had to open a funeral parlour to cover up his identity as the "794 Civil Special Information Investigator". So Shunpo responded with the pretense of the donkey, and signed a new cooperation agreement with Big Eye.
Big Eye was very happy with my decision, and jokingly called my behavior "knowing back when I get lost."
That afternoon, I was about to care for the injury of Big Eye, so I drove to the store.
As soon as we entered the intersection of Sanjiao Town, we saw our old shop, which has been transformed into an amulet shop called "Taiqiyuan".
I wondered: "Didn't Marion open the coffin shop before? How did it become a Buddhist amulet shop?"
With big eyes sneered, he said: "The one who comes is not good, and the one who is good does not come, this Marion must not be a good bird."
To be honest, I don’t like Marion either. From the fact that he stole the shop from us through the landlord, it shows that he is an unscrupulous person to achieve his goals.
People like this are basically insidious, cunning, and unsocial.
When I arrived at the store, I started to sort out the bills in the store.
During the time when Dayan and I were away, the accounts in the store were all done by Guo Miao. The accounts were very clear and organized, which can be said to be no worse than what I did.
After finishing the account in the shop, Dayan and I sat in the shop chatting to pass the time, and my eyes couldn't help but glance at the amulet shop.
The decoration of the amulet shop is very elegant, with light yellow as the main color, and the spotlights are on in the shop, which looks very high-end.
People passing by the shop will basically take a look at the shop, and there are many people who will come in and circle around, and the business seems to be very good.
Big Eye suddenly stood up and said, "Anzi, let's go to the Buddhist amulet shop to see
Look. "
I mean it too. Since Marion has robbed our shop, we always have to go to him for a while, otherwise he thought we were really afraid of him.
Big Eye and I crossed the road and walked into the amulet shop one after another. The first floor of the store is about eighty flat. The shelves are made of solid wood. They are very delicate. The blank walls are covered with wallpaper. The floor is covered with solid wood flooring. Not to mention his goods, the order says decoration. It won't come down for less than one hundred thousand yuan.
In the middle of the shop was a wooden stake-like coffee table. Marion was drinking tea in a white Tang suit. Seeing us entering the shop, he immediately stood up and greeted us with a smile, saying, "It turns out that it is Boss Chen and Boss Yang, please please Sit down, please sit down."
Big Eye was not polite with him, and immediately sat on the solid wood chair, while I continued to look around the store.
Marion poured us two cups of tea and said: "The two bosses are the best business people in Sanjiao Town. I am really flattered to be able to come to my shop today."
Big-eyed and said, "Your store is not small, you are second to none in Sanjiao Town in terms of decoration."
I walked to the shelf and looked at the prices on the amulets. The cheapest ones were more than 1,000 yuan, and the most expensive ones were even more than 50,000 yuan.
People who come to Sanjiao Town to buy things are bargaining for shrouds worth a hundred dollars. Can such expensive things be sold
"Boss Ma, I heard that you opened a coffin shop before. The business is very good. Why have you switched to selling amulets now?"
Marion said with a smile: "In the past, selling coffins, although the business was good, it took several days to make coffins, which was time-consuming and cost-effective. I bought amulets directly from Thailand, and the profit was high, so I changed my career."
"You used to make your own coffin?" I felt a little weird.
There are two types of coffin business, which have always been direct sales. One is consignment sales. Like storefronts, they sample and sell first, and then purchase the goods from the coffin factory. Dayan's shop and I operate in this way.
"Yes. I do the selection, processing, polishing, and painting all by myself."
"Then how about you doing amulet business now?"
"Just so-so. Sold 50 or 60 last month."
I can’t help but smack secretly. According to the cheapest amulet, selling fifty or sixty amulets will cost 60,000 to 70,000 in a month. If there is half of the profit, there will be 30,000 to 40,000 in income.
Big-eyed disdainfully said: "50 or 60 a month,
You dare to say. "
Marion said with a smile: "Of course, I can't sell so many in my store, mainly because I will also sell some goods online."
Big Eye stood up and walked to the container. He picked up an amulet worth more than 5,000 yuan. The amulet was an image of a crocodile. The fat crocodile looked more cartoonish.
Big-eyed mockingly asked: "Are all your amulets real?"
"Of course it is true. My amulets were blessed by monks from Thai temples. The amulet you took is called'Lucky Crocodile'. It was blessed by LP Khunpin, one of Thailand's three treasures of fortune. It's out of print. Boss Zhang, would you like to buy one?"
Big eyes put down the amulets and said: "No, I'm afraid it will be easier to invite ghosts to give away ghosts."
I know a little bit about Thai amulets. Thai amulet is a unique Buddhist ornament in Thailand, and it belongs to the same category as the Zacha Buddha in Tibet, China.
However, amulets are also divided into genuine and negative cards. There is basically no difference between a genuine card and a prayer talisman from a monastery, as long as you wear it normally. But negative cards are very evil. It is said that there are ghosts in negative cards, so some people say that selling negative cards is actually selling ghosts.
Marion still smiled and said: "No, my store only sells genuine brands, not yin plaques. The raw materials do not contain yin, and basically use herbs, flower petals, furnace ash, and temple soil. The hair of the eminent monk is made of relics of holy relics."
Big eyes sneered with disdain, then picked up an amulet to look through it.
Marion continued: "If there are two people who are in the same picture, you can ask for an amulet to go back. I can give them a 30% discount."
Seeing that the big eyes didn't chew, I ignored him either. Instead, I continued to visit the amulet shop and looked down the shelves. In the corner, I found a rectangular mahogany box wrapped in red cloth.
The wooden box is exquisitely made. It is more than fifty centimeters high and about thirty centimeters wide. There is a price tag on the shelf with a price tag of 680,000.
I hurriedly walked over and just wanted to reach out and touch it, but suddenly I couldn't help but fight a cold war. I asked, "Boss Ma, what's in it? It sold for 680,000."
Big Eye also came over, and just about to reach out and take a look at the mahogany box, Marion stopped immediately and said, "Don't move, this is the treasure of my town shop. If you are not a pious person, don't move. "
