The funeral company's salesman grew a little excited as soon as he heard I was interested in the new cemetery.
The young man probably took me for a big client.
"Sir, our company's new cemetery is much more expensive, but it's absolutely worth the money."
"May I ask if you two believe in feng shui?"
He gave us a meaningful look.
Meng Yifan and I exchanged a glance. Whether we believed or not, we had to say we did.
"I do. Absolutely."
"Then you must have more experience and knowledge than most people, so I won't go into detail about whether feng shui is real."
The salesman took out a plan and explained, "The entire cemetery occupies a location with superb feng shui. Our boss spent a fortune hiring a famous feng shui master to study it carefully."
"There are also two Phoenix Acupoints within it. As I'm sure you both know, Phoenix Acupoints are superior burial spots in burial feng shui. Each of these two costs around three million."
"Of course, the other burial plots can also bless future generations. They're just not as good as those two Phoenix Acupoints. It all depends on your choice. If you're businessmen, I'd strongly recommend choosing one of those Phoenix Acupoints. Your future returns will definitely far exceed that three million."
This salesman really is dedicated, I thought. Who considers future returns when burying a relative? It's not like buying an investment fund.
"So neither of these Phoenix Acupoints has an owner yet?" I asked.
The salesman looked a little pleased with himself. "Our new cemetery has been open for less than six months, and we've had a constant stream of clients. One of the two Phoenix Acupoints was already sold three months ago."
Three months ago...
Wasn't that right around when
