So, what did Xianyue Hall rely on to become popular? It relied on its "three magic treasures." The first magic treasure was superstition. He invited back the Taoist priest he had chased away to perform divination and recuperation for people. Businessmen and officials especially believed in these things. The higher the official, the more they believed in it. The boss fully grasped the psychology of the consumers and packaged the old Taoist priest into a "famous Taoist" in the blink of an eye. After a few years of business, this Taoist priest had become famous throughout the entire Xijiang Province, and there was an endless stream of people visiting him. Later, there were too many people, so the boss learned from the experience of hospitals and queued up to register and make appointments in advance. Although it was a bit ridiculous, it did exist.
This "famous Taoist priest" was different from the "Demigod Xu" on Sanlipu Mountain. The former was a scammer, while the latter did not have profound Daoist skills, but had more understanding of life. Therefore, people believed Demigod Xu's words.
When it came to fortune-telling, people clearly knew it was a scam, but so many people were still willing to be fooled. In fact, there were only a few tricks to fortune-telling. It used the eight characters of birth, Yin and Yang, the five elements, as well as facial features, palms, and complexion to predict fortune, misfortune, future, marriage, and so on. When it came to fortune-telling, the Book of Changes had to be mentioned. Many things came from it.
The second magic treasure was medical treatment. The definition of medical treatment here was relatively narrow. It was specifically for male sexual function. In modern terms, it was a specialized hospital. However, it was different from hospitals. It was not treatment, but recuperation. For example, if a man felt that he had erectile dysfunction, it was fine. He could come to Xianyue Hall to recuperate with Chinese medicine and immediately regain his masculinity. This magic treasure was supported and supported by a large number of middle-aged and elderly men.
The third magic treasure was women. Here, the women who served could not be called prostitutes, but were called "coaches." The so-called "coaches" mainly served the customers one-on-one, teaching them Taekwondo, Tai Chi, and even yoga. These "coaches" were all professionally trained. Their figures and faces were absolutely top-notch, their service attitude was good, and they could exercise their bodies. Therefore, there were many repeat customers.
If these three magic treasures were connected, it would be very interesting. If a customer came and was in a bad mood, they would first go to fortune-telling to soothe their unhappy mood. When they got better, they would recuperate, and then practice Tai Chi with the beautiful "coach." The one-stop service was very thoughtful. Such considerate service, but the price was so expensive that it made people speechless. Those who came here were either rich or respectable. Ordinary people couldn't even touch the door.
Guo Kaisheng and Wei Guoqiang were frequent customers of this place. Once they arrived at Immortal Mountain Hall, they couldn't wait to find the "famous Taoist" to ask for a better future.
Guo Kaisheng first asked, "Daoist, I'm running for Village Chief this year. What do you think are my chances of winning?"
The Daoist counted with his fingers and looked at his physiognomy. He said, "Look at the sky, the ground, the mouth of a lion and the nose of a tiger. You're either rich or noble. You're born to be an official. Unfortunately, this is a good opportunity and the gains don't make up for the losses. But now, it seems that the appearance of the North Star will fulfill your wish. "
After Guo Kaisheng heard this, he was very happy. He took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and threw it to the Daoist priest. He started to daydream about becoming the village chief.
However, Wei Guoqiang's mind was not on this at all. He impatiently went to the backyard and found a beautiful "coach" to practice Tai Chi leisurely. After enjoying a "delicious meal", Guo Kaisheng and Wei Guoqiang went to the hot spring and took a comfortable bath.
Wei Guoqiang had shares in Guo Kaisheng's coal mine, so the two of them were very close. Guo Kaisheng moved closer to Wei Guoqiang and said, "Old Wei, it's all up to you whether or not I can be elected this time."
Wei Guoqiang squinted his eyes and enjoyed this wonderful time. A smile appeared on his red face. He said, "Old Guo, according to the current situation, your chances of being elected are very high. The villagers of Beihe Village are almost leaning towards you. The current village chief, Li Hengsheng, is like a cat on a hot tin roof. There's no point in panicking. If there are no accidents, it won't be a problem for you to be elected this time. Also, you can't let your guard down. Be willing to spend a lot of money and give the people some benefits. Naturally, the votes will fall into your hands. I can't do it openly, but I can secretly contact a few of the village chiefs and give them some pointers. It shouldn't be a problem. "
Guo Kaisheng was overjoyed. He called out to the waiter beside him. "Bring two bottles of ordinary French wine from a small winery." He then said to Wei Guoqiang, "Old Wei, sometimes I think that I've lived a good life. I have money and status, and I don't have to worry about food or clothing. What's there to regret? It's enough! But people have to look forward. My family's three generations of ancestors, no matter how far back they go, are still farmers. If I can become a village chief, it can be considered as bringing honor to my ancestors. "
Wei Guoqiang waved his hand. "Old Guo, your vision is too narrow. Being the village chief is just a stepping stone. You can still walk to a higher position. For example, you can become a member of the National People's Congress or a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. These are all political capital. Also, you have to be aware that the Beihe Coal Mine is under your contract. It doesn't belong to you personally. If you become the village chief, you can take the mine under your name. Isn't that logical? Also, haven't you always disliked Niu Fuyong? After you become the village chief, get rid of him first. Otherwise, this' Daring Fool 'will always be a thorn in your heart. "
Wei Guoqiang's words enlightened Guo Kaisheng. He thought for a while and said, "Looks like I have to become the village chief no matter what."
Wei Guoqiang took the wine from the waiter and drank it in one gulp.
Guo Kaisheng suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Old Wei, if this succeeds, I'll give you an additional 3% of the shares."
"Haha …" His hearty laughter echoed in the room.
Guo Kaisheng lit a cigarette for Wei Guoqiang and whispered in his ear. "Old Wei, do you think Niu Fuyong will mess things up this time?"
Wei Guoqiang didn't think of this. He said firmly, "That kid was lucky that we didn't send him to jail. Even if he comes in to mess things up, you don't have to be afraid of him. He's a fallen phoenix now. If he dares to get involved, you can confront him head-on and beat him to death. That way, you won't have to worry about it. "
But Guo Kaisheng was still worried. "Niu Fuyong is a flexible person. I heard that he's from the upper echelons. Also, there's Lu Yiwei and Xu Qingshan behind him. We can't be careless."
