Who will take care of the "feng shui to help the luck" of the edge ball?

Guan Gong in the store sat in front of the door and prayed for good luck. Tibetan incense lingered in the room, and "lighting" items filled the windows ... Recently, reporters saw in some chain auxiliary jewelry stores in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin and Wuzhou, Guangxi, that some "Feng Shui" practitioners sold "lighting" Feng Shui ornaments at high prices in the name of helping customers analyze their fortune and helping others avoid disasters.

A section of road 10 stores, "opening" jewelry price 10000 yuan.

In busy areas such as Dongge Road in Nanning, Longcheng Road in Liuzhou and Zhongshan Road in Guilin, the reporter found that there are dozens of shops selling geomantic numerology and urging luck, and some even claim to be local chain stores.

There are more than 10 geomantic numerology shops on the short road from the intersection of Dongge Ancient City in Nanning to Dongge Village. The shop signs are amulets, five elements of geomantic omen, naming experts, improving luck and pointing out individuals.

In a storefront on Fengxiang Road in Nanning, the window is filled with crystal bracelets, jade pendants, crystal pool, Jade Kirin, Buddha statues and so on. Prices range from several thousand yuan to several hundred thousand yuan. According to the staff, these ornaments have gone through twelve "ordinary blessings", and at the same time, they have been recognized in the store in their own names, which has a strong operational use. Individuals can avoid misfortune as long as they buy corresponding accessories according to the date of birth.

The clerk said that the so-called "twelve ordinary lights" means that 12 top feng shui masters "opened the light" after 7749 days of complicated and rigorous ceremonies.

However, when talking about how to prove that these ornaments are really "polished", the clerk just perfunctory with their store "having more than 80 branches in the country, with strong strength and absolutely guaranteed reputation".

Half-day training can "start" 100% customers "live too long"

Huang, a staff member who has worked in Dongge Road for more than five years, told reporters that most people in Feng Shui numerology chain stores are very young, and many of them graduated from technical secondary schools. It only takes half a day of training to "get started". The youngest store manager in the industry is 24 years old, but he has 4 years of experience.

"Age is not important, education is not important, money is not important, and the key is' understanding'." This has almost become the "rule" of the staff.

An industry insider who didn't want to be named told reporters that these so-called trainings are actually to teach some basic fortune-telling knowledge, find out the eight characters and five elements according to the date of birth provided by customers, and then start to calculate the so-called "fortune", which is nothing more than health, career, feelings, family and wealth.

"Generally speaking, the clerk will ask you if you have some knowledge of numerology and geomantic omen. If customers know how to do things, they will be generally conservative, and persuading customers to buy jewelry will help fortune and official luck; If customers don't know what to do, they will say something bad and fool customers into buying accessories to avoid misfortune. " The industry insider told reporters.

The leaflets of many shops are printed with 20 14 and 12 zodiac luck analysis. Every so-called analysis contains words such as "bad health, bad luck, bad luck, bad punishment, bad value, etc." The solution is nothing more than "opening the window" after purchase.

Zhang Yu, a citizen of Nanning, told reporters that she had been invited by the clerk of a jewelry chain store to do a free numerology calculation. Finally, she "measured" that she was "too old" this year, and she needed to wear a piece of Chinese zodiac jade to "get lucky", and the cheapest one in the store should also be 1980 yuan.

A "Feng Shui numerology" clerk in Dongge Road who only has a junior high school diploma said that in 20 12 years, the store's income exceeded 3.8 million yuan, while the rental labor cost was less than 800,000 yuan.

Why is it always successful to sell dog meat by hanging sheep's head?

Chen Lidan, who has been doing "geomantic numerology" and "training" in the Pearl River Delta all the year round, estimates that there are no fewer than 100 geomantic numerology shops in Nanning, a city with a population of 3 million in the central city, and most of them will be under the banner of geomantic ornaments and home furnishings. Idol, incense and charm are the "standard" of this kind of store decoration.

Chen Lidan said: "It is certain to hang ornaments to sell' sheep's head' and sell' dog meat' for feng shui fortune telling, because activities such as feng shui consultation and numerology analysis are not within the business scope stipulated in the industrial and commercial license, but if industrial and commercial personnel ask, they will say that this is just some product introductions when selling handicrafts."

Recently, the reporter visited Dongge Road 1 1 for more than two hours, and found that only 12 customers entered the store, and most customers entered the store for more than 10 minutes. When interviewed by many shops, the reporter found that the business licenses of such shops are marked as handicraft sales enterprises, which has nothing to do with Feng Shui numerology.

Yang, a lawyer of the law firm, said that expressions such as feng shui consultation and numerology analysis do not belong to the business scope of the industrial and commercial departments. Individuals or enterprises engaged in activities such as feng shui consultation and numerology analysis in disguised form by selling handicrafts are suspected of operating beyond the scope. If citizens find that businesses have such behaviors, they can complain to the registration authority or the industrial and commercial office in their jurisdiction.
