注意!披着羊皮的狼:走私犯的卑鄙阴谋


看看这个腼腆男士在旺财馆前鬼鬼祟祟的样子。上周四,他走进旺财馆对一位年轻职员说:他从中国远道而来,一位“朋友”托他找云大师并把手上的“翡翠”卖给他。

刚巧,我当时就在馆里。听他这一番话,我不由得笑了起来,对他说:要是他有一块比我们850公斤翡翠毛料王还要大的翡翠,那就卖给我们吧。不然的话,他反而应该向我们买翡翠。

放过这个腼腆的中国人后,我思索了好几天,便对所有雲龍子人下达一道指示:从今以后,若有人在旺财馆外鬼鬼祟祟,我们便把他请进一个房间,门上锁后立刻报警。

这些人假借观光的名义来到我们美丽的小岛,实际上却是来进行他们龌龊的勾当,贩卖他们廉价与非法的所谓“翡翠”,欺骗那些抵挡不了诱惑的单纯新加坡人。

换句话说,这名男子就是一名走私犯。

他不仅在海关逃税,还要赚黑心钱回国。更严重的是,行李就是他的随身“店铺”,人逃到何处,行李就到何处,无需为售出的产品负责,也无需向买家负责。

他是扒走我们人民财富和好运的小偷。

换句话说,这些只想发不义之财的不肖商人,所卖出的东西肯定是赝品。

年前,几个走私犯就曾利诱我们的职员,还以最卑鄙的方式勾结在一起。

当时,其中一名职员就带了一位客人到位于牛车水的“风水”馆。这家“风水”馆勾结走私犯,向这位客人出售一枚“墨玉戒指”。(这枚戒指的设计类似旺财馆五行土的天理连理玉上玉翡翠戒指。)

这枚戒指售价仅十元新币。惊人的价格!但这位客人付出的代价不仅如此。噩耗接二连三地传来。几个星期后,她取下戒指在艳阳下仔细观察。她惊讶地发现戒指上竟然有肉眼难以察觉的发丝裂痕。客人便向招待她的职员反映这个情况,那位职员只是耸耸肩说那枚戒指并非她售出,自然无须承担任何责任。

为了保护雲龍子旺财馆的信誉,云大师开除了涉案的职员;他们竟然在得到旺财馆赐予的恩惠和教诲后,背叛旺财馆和我们的客人。

几个星期前,其中一名中国籍的前职员返回新加坡工作。他目前就任职于牛车水的那家“风水”馆。

奇怪的是,多年未在我们门前出现的走私犯再次出现了。

这次我很有公德心地向警方、移民与关卡局和人力部举报了这名男子。

要是你——我们忠实的旺财客人和粉丝,看见这名男子或有他走私活的任何相关息,即刻通知我

一起守护神圣的雲龍子旺财馆以及我座美上的事

你们的正义之举必得到上天丰厚的回报。

WARNING: Sheepish Smuggler With A Despicable Conspiracy


Look at this sneaky man standing sheepishly in front of our gallery. He came to our gallery last Thursday telling one young staff that he came from china and his "friend" asked him to look for Master Yun to sell him "jadeite".

Just nice, I was in the gallery. When I heard this, I laughed, telling him that he may sell us if he has a piece of raw jadeite that's bigger than ours (850kg). If not, he should in fact buy from us.

After letting this sheepish PRC go, and I thought about it for a few days, I gave an order to all Lotusons. Henceforth, when we see people like this roaming outside our gallery, we shall ask him to go into one room, lock him up and report to police straight away.

These people come to our beautiful island of Singapore as a tourist, with a tourist visa. But in actuality, they came to do their dirty, ugly business of selling his so-to-call "jade" to innocent Singaporeans who succumb to the temptation of cheap and illegal ornaments.

In other word, this man is a smuggler.

Not only he evaded tax when he crossed the immigration customs, earn some black money on his way back, but because his "shop" is just a piece of luggage that he pulls with him everywhere he runs away to, he does not have to bear any responsibility to the things he sells and to the people he sells to.

He is a thief who steals away money and good fortune from our people.

In other words, the things sold by this kind of irresponsible people who are just interested in making some hit-and-run money, are fake.

Many years ago, a few of these smugglers have lured away a couple of our staff to conspire with them in a most despicable way.

One old staff brought one client to one "fengshui" shop in Chinatown who was more than willing to work with these smugglers to buy a piece of "black jade ring" (which looks like the earth ring of our Heaven and Earth jadeite ring).

That ring costed only ten Singapore dollars. Amazing price! But that was not the only price that client had to pay. Bad fortune followed one after another. After a few weeks, she took out the ring and observe carefully under strong sunlight. And she then discovered the hair line cracks in this ring which was not obvious to naked eyes. When she told that staff, she just shrugged her shoulder saying that the ring was not sold by her and she should not bear any responsibility for it.

To preserve the integrity of Lotus on Water, Master Yun had fired these staffs who were willing to betray the Lotus and her clients, despite of all the teachings and grace Lotus on Water has bestowed upon them.

A few weeks ago, one of these ex-PRC staff has returned to Singapore. He is currently working in this "fengshui" shop in Chinatown.

Strange thing is, the smugglers who have not appeared in front of our gallery for years started to return again.

I have just decided to be more civic-minded and reported this man to the police, the ICA and the Ministry of Manpower.

And if you, our dear and faithful Lotus on Water clients and fans, have spotted this man anywhere, or have any evidence of their smuggling activities, please do inform me.

Let us together help to protect the sanctity of Lotus on Water and the healthy business operation on our beautiful island.

Heaven shall repay you graciously for doing the right and just thing.

家伟推荐:这两个沉香

今年五月至今,我相信许多许多有福的客人已经拥有了自己的旺财沉香。有些人买下了水沉宝贝,有些人买下了土沉宝贝,还有一位非常有福的客人买下了奇楠宝贝。沉香种类繁多,今天就让我们聚焦土沉。

因为许多有福的客人已经购入很棒的旺财沉香(我知道我又在重复了),所以我这里没多少块土沉可以向你介绍。要是你想拥有的是雕有龙、凤或如意结的土沉宝贝……那你可能就要失望了。

言归正传,土沉分三种:黄、红和黑。黄土沉年份较短,黑土沉年份最久远。三种土沉有什么区别?正在物色土沉的话,哪一种又最适合你?请联络你的旺财顾问!

今天重点介绍黄土沉和黑土沉,因为红土沉已经所剩无几:


首先,注意这块黄土沉的大小。以土沉的形成过程来说,这算是一块相当大的黄土沉。(听过简先生讲解沉香的人就晓得沉香如何形成。)

第二,上面刻的是一尊观音立像,说明菩萨随时可以助你心想事成!另外,注意她背后的那座山。试想想:观音菩萨已经法力无边,现在她背后还有一座大靠山,能为你招来贵人——对你死心塌地的贵人。

想要能量更强的宝贝?那就是黑土沉了:


这是旺财馆最后一块全面雕刻(立体雕刻)的旺财沉香。像这样经得起多方面雕刻的沉香实在难得,可见这块的承受力非一般。希望这块旺财沉香能让你方方面面都化险为夷。

灵芝能增旺你的健康运和地位运;拥有它绝对是你的福气,因为目前只剩下两块!另外,有蝙蝠就有幸福喜乐!

蝙蝠还有一个特点,那就是活跃于夜间,在你休息时继续招来财富!(大家都需要休息对吗?)

就如我说的,要是你正在物色沉香宝贝,那就把握这个机会买下我推荐的这两种旺财沉香,让你阴阳调和,让闻得到的富贵增旺你的财运。

旺财馆见!

Master Yun: Lotus on Water Sells Nothing, But These


In the long course of history, gold and silver have served as currency for transactions in lands where humans settled. This is why I identify with gold and silver. 

Lotus on Water bases its decision on what treasures to sell on the same principles and reasons.   

For example, at Lotus' founding in 2006, amber 波斯蜜蜡 had its heydey in the market. Blue, purple and green coloured, it was very pleasing to the eye. But I refused to sell it. Eventually, amber was proven to be a sham. 

Two years later, Liu Li Gong Fang launched a successful marketing campaign, and big shots of the Feng Shui industry followed suit in selling liuli 琉璃. It's cute, beautiful, low cost and highly profitable. Similarly, I refused to sell it. To me, liuli is essentially glass; it can be mass produced, and regardless of its beauty, there's no way it could maintain its value. 

A few years later, liuli hit its lowest point. It was too late for those industrial big shots to regret their decisions. Liuli was sold everywhere, there was probably more liuli than junk in the market and its sale price fell like junk as well. 

Later on, the others started selling "blood dragon wood" 血龙木. But I am unmoved by these novel and popular products. 

The treasures sold in our galleries—jadeite, agarwood, sandalwood, Duan Xi inkstone, crystal Buddha statues—have been used for a long time in human history. This is why 90% of the treasures we sell can be found in auction houses.   

Humans are fickle and our interest does not last long. We can be into something today and go crazy over another tomorrow. But there are a small number of things that stand the test of time, maintaining and proving its value. 

And Lotus on Water sells nothing, but these.

The Flaming Mountain of Lotus on Water

In the classical novel of Journey to the West, the Monkey God knocked over the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s 太上老君 Brazier of Eight Trigrams 八卦炉, causing embers to fall from the sky, forming the Flaming Mountains 火焰山 on earth. Its red hot flames rose into the skies under the blazing sun.

There’s a Flaming Mountain at Lotus on Water?


Look!

What is this? A dazzling display of red under the sun, an energy that is trying to escape from within, is this magma or flames?

It is Lotus VIP gallery’s Mega Lotus Crystal Incense Pot金刚有余大發炉.
This is a mega crystal pot for our blessed clients to recharge their Heaven and Earth Jadeite Rings, boosting the dragon pearl’s energy.
The heat from the mega crystal pot boosts the dragon pearl’s energy into that of a blazing sun, burning your malefactors and obstacles, and prospering your wealth and benefactor luck.


Now you can own your personal Mega Lotus Crystal Incense Pot to light incense, prosper your huat qi and boosting your Lotus Ring’s energy.

I remember a blessed client who bought this huge crystal pot telling me: I’m supposed to be working overtime today, but I decided against it as I have something more important to do—drop by Lotus on Water!

Because Lotus treasures prosper my life, bringing me more wealth and hope!

So what are you waiting for? Drop by and bring home your personal Lotus treasure booster: The Mega Lotus Crystal Incense Pot.
