Although I didn't get the answer I wanted this time, I wasn't discouraged. I just felt like I had walked into a circle, as if there was some conspiracy surrounding me. But in the end I shook my head and thought about myself. I was penniless and had nothing. Even if I wanted people to remember me, I had to have something worthy of their memory.
Finally, I said goodbye to Liu Yidi. Although I didn't get an answer, I was still very grateful to her. This time, the divination alone made her face so pale, not to mention that she was frightened by the mysterious man in yellow afterwards. In fact, I was quite confused. Who was that guy? He could scare Liu Yidi so much, and Cui Zuofei seemed to have a close relationship with that guy.
Finally, I shook my head. By the time I finished everything, it was already five o'clock. I had to deal with the matter of the Red Gate Inn in the evening. Cui Zuofei told Yan Feng and the others to meet at a hotel near the cemetery at seven o'clock. There were still two hours left, which was enough time for the two of us to pack up.
Actually, the order to open the Red Gate Inn this time was not issued by the Public Security Bureau, but Cui Zuofei wanted to deal with it himself after he knew that this evil creature would appear. Although Cui Zuofei usually has a harsh mouth and looks careless, he is actually a goody-goody.
Of course, how could we not bring Yi Xinxing with us to deal with such a big event as the Red Gate Inn? So Cui Zuofei and I separated and Cui Zuofei went to get the weapons while I went to find Yi Xinxing. When I ran into the Yifu Pavilion, I saw a bald man talking business with Yi Xinxing. This man looked to be about 40 years old, wearing a suit and a pair of glasses. At first glance, he was the type of customer that Cui Zuofei and I liked to rip off.
But when I watched the conversation between Yi Xinxing and this man, I felt like this man was suppressing Yi Xinxing.
"You want to charge me two thousand for this amulet? That's not how you do business with kids. Five hundred at most. It's just a few pieces of paper. Why be so stingy?" The middle-aged man looked at Yi Xinxing with a smile on his face.
Yi Xinxing's face turned red at this time, and he said, "Boss, this won't do. Although the paper and cinnabar are indeed not very expensive, the effect of this amulet is absolutely first-class. We have hired people with real skills to draw it, and this price is fixed by our boss and cannot be changed."
As soon as I heard the conversation between Yi Xinxing and the customer, I slapped my forehead. How stupid was Yi Xinxing to actually tell the customer that the raw materials of his products were worthless. You know, at Cui Zuofei's place, he could even trick people into saying that Buddha statues made of mud were made of gold. He put himself at a disadvantage from the start.
Sure enough, as soon as this person heard Yi Xinxing's words, he should have understood that Yi Xinxing was not a person who was good at negotiating business. He smiled even more and said, "Little brother, how about this? I think what you said makes sense, but didn't you just say that the raw materials are not worth much? One thousand yuan, okay?"
When Yi Xinxing heard this, I saw him licking his fingers. He looked like he was about to agree, so I immediately said, "Boss, this won't do. We are a small business." After saying that, I walked up to him. I felt unhappy when I saw this bald guy. Damn it, you fooled my brother, and you only picked someone who was easy to fool. If you picked me and Cui Zuofei, any one of us would have been in trouble. But now that I have bumped into him, it seems that it will not be good either.
The middle-aged man immediately turned around and saw me when he heard my voice. He asked Yi Xinxing in confusion, "Excuse me, who is this?"
Seeing Yi Xinxing was about to speak, I immediately said, "I'm the boss of Yi Fu Guan, my name is Ying Jun Ge, and my nickname is Harbin Chen Guanxi."
Although Yi Xinxing is a little dull sometimes, he is not stupid. When he heard what I said, he remembered the dirty things that Lao Cui and I usually did together, so he stopped talking and just nodded.
"Handsome brother?" The middle-aged man looked at me and said, "You look a little bit unworthy of your reputation, little brother."
When I heard that, I coughed awkwardly and said, "Really? Nothing, I just heard you and my employees talking about the amulet issue..."
Before I finished speaking, the middle-aged man interrupted and said, "Yes, your employees said that the material of this thing is not worth much. I just wanted to buy it for a thousand yuan."
"Yes, the material of this talisman is not valuable, but his body is valuable, because he was born differently from others. Our amulet is made by the head of Sanqing Sect, Master Cui. You know, nowadays everything is compared by body value, just like the underwear of an international superstar, you may not find anyone to buy it even if you sell it for tens of thousands. With your identity and status, you dare not go out wearing an ordinary amulet, right?" I said with a smile.
After hearing what I said, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's indeed true."
"Isn't that right? My employee just now didn't understand the market. This talisman costs at least four thousand on the market. I see that you and I have a connection, so I'll charge you three thousand eight. Then you can introduce more friends to our place." As I said that, I snatched the talisman from Yi Xinxing's hand and handed it to the middle-aged man with a smile. The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the talisman.
"Why haven't you finished yet?" At this moment, Cui Zuofei walked in. To be honest, I have to admire Cui Zuofei. I don't know if it's because of his good reaction ability or professional habit. When he saw this scene, he immediately threw the pile of things in his hands out of the door, straightened his back, pretended to be an immortal, and said in his mouth: "As the saying goes, dreams are everywhere every day, and the soul predicts good and bad luck. Zhuangzi's illusory butterfly and Lu Wang's foretelling the flying bear."
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man saw Cui Zuofei as soon as he took the talisman. Cui Zuofei smiled calmly and said, "I am Tian..."
"Cough cough." I heard what Cui Zuofei was about to say, so I immediately coughed and stretched out three fingers.
"I am Cui Banxian, the leader of the Sanqing Sect on Mount Tianshan." Cui Zuofei said with a smile.
"Well, fine. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first." After saying that, the middle-aged man took out a bundle of ten thousand yuan bills, counted out thirty of them, threw them on the table, turned around and prepared to go out.
"Alas, I have dreams every day, and my spirit predicts good and bad luck. Brother, you will definitely encounter a bloody disaster within five days." Cui Zuofei said with a sigh.
…half an hour later…
"Brother Cui, you are really amazing. You managed to trick him into giving you 30,000 yuan so easily. It's really amazing." I gave a thumbs up to Cui Zuofei who was smoking nearby.
The middle-aged man was about to leave, but was stopped by Cui Zuofei. He deceived the man so much that he was dizzy, and just like that, he made 30,000 yuan.
After hearing what I said, Cui Zuofei said to me earnestly: "This is nothing. You will be able to cheat so much in the future. You are still young and you can learn slowly."
"You two are so dishonest. He just wanted to spend 500 yuan to buy a lucky charm to ensure his safety, but you two tricked him into paying 30,000 yuan. Is it that serious?" Yi Xinxing became dissatisfied when he saw us like this.
"Brother Yi, you can't think like that. You saw it. The man spent 30,000 and left happily. On the contrary, if he came to buy a talisman for 500, he might leave feeling frustrated, right? So we are also doing good things," I thought about it and said to Yi Xinxing.
"Forget it, stop fooling me here. What's the matter with you coming to see me today?" Yi Xinxing asked us.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered the matter of the Red Gate Inn. He looked at the time and it was almost six o'clock. He immediately packed up some things, dragged Yi Xinxing into Cui Zuofei's Audi, and headed towards the cemetery.
