"Feng shui?" Xiao Yong'an raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.
"Your courier station originally had good feng shui, but his courier station is located opposite yours. He has a Bagua plate hanging above the entrance and lucky beads on the left and right sides. Unlike yours, his main entrance is not in the center. It seems that the door was dug out and rebuilt, and it is now offset to the right, directly facing the main entrance of your courier station. This blocks the feng shui of your location and creates a clash."
"Plus, his prices are a little lower than yours, which is why all your customers have gone to him."
"However, their low prices are not necessarily a good thing."
Seeing Xiao Yong'an's furrowed brows, Jiang Yuan added.
Seeing that the owner across the street had even hung up a lucky charm, and had also re-carved out the door and changed its position, one could tell that the owner had consulted a professional.
The other party knew that doing this would block the feng shui of Xiao Yong'an's courier shop, so it was obviously intentional.
The intention is to make them unable to continue their work so that I can monopolize the delivery business in the surrounding area.
"What Master Jiang means is..." Xiao Yong'an humbly inquired.
With such a large customer base, even if the price is a little low, they should still be able to make a profit.
But Jiang Yuan said that a low price is not a good thing.
Why is that?
“The price of express delivery is low, but the rent is still a must. So guess where the other party will save money?” Jiang Yuan asked.
Xiao Yong'an was taken aback at first, then he understood what Jiang Yuan meant.
"Manpower and water and electricity!" Xiao Yong'an said.
“Smart, that’s just labor and utilities,” Jiang Yuan replied.
"They do only the work they're paid for. Look at how they handle the packages and their attitude towards customers..."
"Just by looking at them, you can tell that even if their prices are low and their feng shui is good, which has attracted many of your customers, they won't last long and will eventually close down."
Jiang Yuan analyzed it for Xiao Yong'an.
Xiao Yong'an followed Jiang Yuan's gaze and saw that the workers at the courier station across the street were roughly throwing the packages they had collected on the ground. Some of them were even stepping directly over the packages, looking quite lazy.
The customers who came to pick up their packages seemed to be asking each other questions, but the worker looked impatient.
He hadn't paid close attention before, only noticing that the other party had a lot of customers, with many people coming and going, and that his own business had lost a lot of customers.
Jiang Yuan pointed it out, and he finally understood.
Judging from their work attitude, they won't last long.
Some packages are fragile. Given their rough handling, I wonder how many complaints they'll receive and how much compensation they'll have to pay.
Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, it's like ruining your own reputation. Even if your prices are low, customers won't prioritize you anymore.
"Master Jiang, what should I do? Should I learn from him and cover it with cement, then move it a little to the right and chisel out a new door?" Xiao Yong'an humbly asked for advice.
Having your feng shui blocked isn't a good thing; it would be great if it could be improved.
"Do nothing."
"Once they put up the 'For Rent' sign for prime locations, we'll rent their shop directly, then change the door's position back, rearrange it, pack talismans for the workers, set up a table for the kids to do their homework, and ideally, put a bookshelf there and buy more books to display," Jiang Yuan said thoughtfully, her eyes fixed on the courier shop not far away.
The shop was bound to close down sooner or later. Besides, it was only a few steps away from Xiao Yong'an's place. Renting or buying it would be a good option to provide a place for the workers to pack paper talismans and for the children to study.
Xiao Yong'an's family's courier shop is small, and the children can only do their homework at a table set up in a cooler spot outside; it's very rudimentary.
They suffer from the cold in winter and the scorching sun in summer.
They are the flowers of our motherland. Even if we cannot raise them with great care, we should at least not let them suffer like this.
There are also many customers coming and going to pick up their packages. Their tables are right outside the door, and if a customer bumps into the table or they bump into someone, it could be difficult to explain.
As for the workers packing the packages, they simply set up a makeshift table inside, surrounded by piles of other parcels.
I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, the package might be sent to the wrong address.
“As for the rental fee, I’ll pay for it,” Jiang Yuan said.
She had originally planned to spend money to buy a hairpin, but Xia Yeming wouldn't accept it, so it would be perfect to use it here.
Money is a waste in her hands; it would be better to spend it on something useful.
"If possible, it would be best to hire a teacher for them. It's better to leave professional knowledge to professionals," Jiang Yuan continued.
When she arrived, Xiao Yong'an's father was teaching them, but he was teaching carelessly because some of the children were deaf and mute and difficult to communicate with. It would be better to hire a professional teacher to teach them.
"Master Jiang, what are you doing..." Xiao Yong'an looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise, and he finally understood what Jiang Yuan wanted to do.
She wanted to help those children.
“I have too much money and nowhere to spend it, so I might as well spend it on something useful,” Jiang Yuan said, as if she knew what Xiao Yong’an wanted to say.
Apart from half being taken by the platform, she hardly spent any of her money.
So the money kept snowballing...
Xiao Yong'an settled down.
He believed that.
Because Master Jiang earns at least a million yuan per live stream...
Leaving aside the money from fortune telling, just talking about tips...
"Master Jiang, thank you on behalf of those children," Xiao Yong'an said gratefully, no longer declining the offer.
"You're welcome."
"If possible, a school should be arranged nearby. I just checked, and there isn't one nearby yet."
Jiang Yuan stroked her chin thoughtfully.
“Master Jiang, you…you mean…” Xiao Yong’an’s expression shifted, and he even doubted whether he was hallucinating.
Should we arrange a school for them?
Why did it sound so easy for Jiang Yuan to say these words?
"Yeah, their journey to school must be quite long, right? Their feet are covered in mud, and their shoes are worn out. Plus, the book says 'Dream Elementary School,' which is a twenty-minute drive from here."
"If there were a school nearby that went from elementary to middle to high school, it would be more convenient for them to go to school."
Jiang Yuan said earnestly.
