Chapter 465 Weird Ideas
Xia Zhizhi and Aju listened for a while and found it was nothing more than some Feng Shui arrangements.
Hong Kong is not a big place, but people believe in these things very strongly.
There is the Wong Tai Sin Temple, where the lights are always bright, and Temple Street is filled with people beating up evil spirits. This group of people, from top to bottom, all believe in simple superstitions and adhere to folk customs.
Those who have money can find a good Feng Shui master, or simply go to the neighboring countries in Southeast Asia to find a wizard.
If you don’t have money, you can go to Temple Street and get a cheaper one. In short, everyone has their own ways.
In short, they are willing to spend money on this.
The air in Hong Kong is hot and humid. Even though she sprayed some mosquito repellent under the tree, there were still many mosquitoes flying around her. Xia Zhizhi lost interest in eavesdropping and went back to the hotel with Ah Ju.
In the space, Ah Ju helped her into the hot spring. Xia Zhizhi tapped the stones beside the hot spring with her hands, looking a little bored.
Seeing her like this, Ah Ju got angry and thought for a while, then said, "I see other rich people find several female companions. We are not short of money, how about I find a few for you?"
During this era, the male model industry in Hong Kong did not develop.
However, there are still some aspiring young men who want to rely on their looks to hook up with a rich girl, or simply hook up with a rich woman to be her gigolo and make some money.
They cannot work in nightclubs openly like dancers, so they can only pretend to be consumers, look for their own prey in the club, and then wait for an opportunity to create a romantic encounter.
When Xia Zhizhi and Ah Ju went out to play, Ah Ju would occasionally go out to order something or do something else.
When she was alone, she was approached by such people.
Ah Ju usually won't be away for too long. The main purpose of these people is to make money. When they see Ah Ju coming back, they feel that they are not as strong as Ah Ju, so most of them will slip away tactfully.
Some people, seeing that Ah Ju had a normal attitude and did not show any jealousy or anger, would still stubbornly leave a business card.
Xia Zhizhi did not show any disgust towards those who approached her. Ah Ju collected all the business cards in case they might be useful.
Seeing that Xia Zhizhi was a little bored, Ah Ju prepared to call two people to help her relieve her boredom.
Xia Zhizhi shook her head. It wasn't because she was being chaste, she just didn't like it.
Most rich people like those who are simple, naive, cute, or full of passion and vitality.
To put it simply, it is not greasy and beautiful without knowing it.
She is no exception.
Those who would take this line of work as a profession, regardless of their appearance, think they are extremely charming in their hearts, and Xia Zhizhi can't stand it.
After taking a bath, Ah Ju applied special hair care oil on her and dried her hair carefully.
At this time in the past, Xia Zhizhi would usually eat some fruit to kill time, but today she was unusually serious. She rested her chin on her hand and thought quietly.
She had a rough idea in mind, and said to Ah Ju: "Go and help me sort out some books on religious beliefs, whether they are literature or novels. If it is a novel, you only need to select the settings related to this type, and leave out other content."
Ah Ju quickly found a few books on the three major religions for Xia Zhizhi: "Read these first, I'll sort out some other books."
Xia Zhizhi nodded, picked up a book and started reading.
In her opinion, for some unknown reason, religious literature contains many contradictions, errors and loopholes.
She doesn't care about these things, and she doesn't intend to verify atheism. She just wants to refer to the footsteps of her predecessors.
Xia Zhizhi studied hard in the hotel for two days. She had strong mental strength and did not intend to memorize everything, so she read a lot of religious books in a quick browsing manner.
She has experienced a lot of things and has an ambiguous attitude towards ghosts and gods. She does not resist them, does not think they are nonsense, but she does not believe in them either.
She only believes in herself.
Of course, if there is someone who can beat her, then just pretend she didn't say that.
After reading religious books for a few days, she found that except for Taoism which emphasizes self-cultivation through self-cultivation, other religions have an attitude of "believe it or not, I'm too busy to care about you".
Most religions are keen on missionary work. They think that I am awesome and this is the truth, so you can believe me.
Once a number of believers have been accumulated, subsequent development will be like snowflakes rolling in. If the operation is good, there will be more and more believers, and it will become particularly easy to make money.
If it is not well managed, it becomes a cult. There have been many such organizations in the history of various countries, and most of them have disappeared in the vast torrent.
Those that have survived to this day are the fine products that have been left after the test of time and can satisfy the religious needs of most people.
Seeing Xia Zhizhi studying the scriptures with great effort, Ah Ju wondered where she had found several talisman collections from.
She took it and looked at it. It was published by the Religious Culture Publishing House.
Ah Ju asked her, "Are you planning to be in the Feng Shui business like Mr. Chen?"
Xia Zhizhi shook her head: "Master Chen is already one of the best masters in this area, and the one he wants to marry must be top-notch. I wasted so much time and effort to earn such a small amount. If I have the energy, I might as well go to the Gobi Desert and pick up trash."
Moreover, in order to maintain their status, masters like him usually do not open a shop for three years, and then make a living for three years after opening it.
Such people value their reputation the most and will not make a sale easily. It's not like they have a stall on Temple Street, so it's impossible for them to work for others just because someone comes to them. After all, once sales start increasing, the price will naturally go down, and their work would be in vain.
Ah Ju nodded. He was somewhat influenced by Xia Zhizhi's thinking.
He believed that Xia Zhizhi should not work for others, and that others should serve Xia Zhizhi selflessly like he did, bringing all the good things in the world to her for her to choose from.
Ah Ju asked her: "So what are you planning?"
Xia Zhizhi tapped a book, and Ah Ju lowered his head to look at "The Origin of Religion".
Ah Ju suddenly realized, "You plan to establish a religion. You need to do some publicity in the early stage to develop some believers. After they believe in you, they will pay you membership fees. I have seen that some churches pay one-tenth of their income as membership fees, which is higher than taxes. Some believers will even go bankrupt and donate all their life's income to the religion they believe in."
Then won't I be able to make money just by lying at home?
Ah Ju thought this plan was feasible. He wished that everyone in the world would believe in Zhizhi religion, so he immediately suggested to Xia Zhizhi enthusiastically: "All the people who go to Temple Street have this kind of religious needs. Why don't we go there to recruit believers starting from tomorrow?"
