Just like people in the 1960s and 1970s, they never thought that the video halls and dance halls that were once popular in China would quickly go down the peak and be perfectly replaced by KTV bars and cinemas.
Anyway, who is the knife-cutter on credit?
According to their own statement, it is a descendant of Guiguzi, and everyone should have heard of Guiguzi. There is nothing wrong with calling him a saint. After all, many important figures in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are said to have studied under Guiguzi, such as Su Qin Zhang Yi and Sun Juan, whom we are familiar with. His disciples are all so excellent, and he is naturally extraordinary as a master.
It is also self-evident that the person who borrowed the knife said that he was a descendant of Guiguzi. First, in order to increase their mystery and status; The second is to tell everyone that they have the unique skill of Guiguzi, and that is prophecy.
I probably know the role of the knife borrower, and then let's learn more about it.
Why is the borrower called the borrower? This is because their knives are only sold on credit, and the knives sold on credit are usually just daily production tools such as kitchen knives and sickles, rather than broadswords or machetes like cold weapons, which are very cheap in short.
And some people may ask, how can these ordinary knives make a profit on credit? In fact, the price of these knives on credit is very expensive, and the price of credit is much higher than that of ordinary kitchen knives.
But even if it is expensive, there are still people on credit. The reason is that when they leave, they often leave an unfathomable prediction, and it is this prediction that is really expensive.
Prediction is a kind of prediction. If the prediction comes true, the knife borrower will appear and look for the agreed person to collect the money.
Therefore, there are eight words circulating among the people who pay for knives: pay for knives and pray. In short, for their existence, they have always been very god.
The boasting of the knife borrower was recorded in July's Shenbao, 1878. At that time, during the Xianfeng period, the knife borrower successfully predicted that the price of rice would drop from 80 per liter to 18. It spread as soon as it came out, which is even more amazing. That should be the peak of the credit knife man.
But are they really that amazing?
In fact, most of them are people who walk the rivers and lakes. Because they have rich experience, they know a wide range of things and have dabbled in everything, so many things can be inferred from experience. And they all wander the rivers and lakes based on experience. For things that you don't know at all, it is usually luck.
What if you have no experience and bad luck? They will give the original knife to customers on credit for free.
Some people may think that the knife holder is losing money, but it is not. You should know that the price of tool rest is very high, far higher than the price of knife. As long as the knife holder guesses once, or guesses once, the profit brought is not as good as the cost of the knife.
I won once. What's the harm of giving so many knives? So many times, people who borrow money on credit are definitely profitable. In the final analysis, they are still a group of venture capitalists.
In fact, even if it is given away for free, the knife-wielding people who have credit not only have no economic burden, but also have no psychological burden, because in their view, even if it is given away for free, it is also a kind of kindness and a virtue.
With the progress of the times, people who buy knives on credit should now quit the historical stage, but there are still a few places. After all, this superstition is becoming increasingly discredited.
In fact, the existence of this kind of group organization, whether predicting or doing good deeds, reflects a simple and primitive venture capital in China to some extent, which is similar to futures investment and is beneficial to the development and production of ancient rural areas in China.
