It was a small town with fantastic landscapes that attracted a wealth of the rich to live in it. But they were not living for long. The rich people would come to the town for one or two months during their vacations and relaxed themselves.
這里是一個風景優美的小鎮子，因為它的風景而吸引來了許多的富人在這里居住，不過當然不是長久地住在這里，而是每逢休假日就就來住一兩月，放松放松。
Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots to the town. But he had little money and did not have a permanent income, so he rented a cheap house after he arrived. But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people. His job was to sell cell phones. But they were not “real” phones. They were indeed counterfeits that could model the real ones which had comprehensive and great functions with the cost of no more than 20 yuan. If he met his less lucky day, he could earn at least several hundred yuan, while several thousand yuan if he met his lucky day. As those buyers were very well-off, they would not care about the money even though they discovered the phones to be fake later.
小明也是被吸引過來的，不過他沒什么錢，沒有固定收入，他到這個鎮子里后，就租了一個廉租房。他正是看準了了這小鎮里富人多的特點才來的，他的工作就是賣手機，不是真真正正的手機，而是假手機，花上十幾元，就可以制造出一部貌似功能很好很強大的手機，運氣差時能賺幾百，運氣好時一部就賺幾千——這里面住的都是富人嘛，就算發現是假的，也不會在意，誰在乎這幾千幾百的？
One day, Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money with his tricks. Luckily, there was still a fake phone in his pocket to sell, which made him terrifically pleased. He took the phone with him in the street where a crow of people were coming and going that made his eyes spin. But soon enough, he spotted a target, a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket. Ming came up to him and smiled politely, saying, “Hey, friend…….” But the man was very alert and asked, “What’s up?”
這日，小明的口袋又空啦！就又打起歪腦筋來，正巧，上次還余下一部假手機，心里一陣狂喜，裝著手機就走了。路上行人人來人往，叫小明看得眼花繚亂，但很快他就選好了目標——一個身著一件舊夾克，看似很有錢的中年男子。小明圍上去，堆上職業性的笑容，說：“大哥……” 男子似乎很警覺，說：“干什么？”
Ming was quite acquainted with the man’s reaction—the richer a man was, the more alert he would be, and the easier it was to cheat him. So Ming said to him immediately, “Friend, I have a phone with me. I bought it at 5,000 yuan. But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away. Ming stopped him and said, “What about 2,000?” The man was greatly irritated and shouted at him, “What do you want to do with me?”
小明對這類人司空見慣了——越富有，就越警覺，也越好被騙。于是立刻說：“大哥啊，我是個推銷手機的，”說著，將口袋里的手機掏出來，繼續說：“我這里有部手機，原價五千，現在賣您三千……” 男子似乎毫不理他，轉身就想走，小明立刻堵住他的路：“這樣吧，兩千……”男子見小明堵住他的路，頓時發起了大火，喝道：“你想干什么？”
Ming was stunned to speechlessness, because he had not seen anyone like the man since he began his business. Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs, crying to him, “Oh, my dear friend! I am selling phones to make a living. Ok, now I will only sell my phone at 1,000. Only 1,000, is it ok?” Ming began pouring out his “miserable story” as he was crying. The man, after seeing this, felt a little bit affected and put his hands into his pocket. Knowing that the man seemed to be stricken to buy the phone, Ming cried even harder. Then to Ming’s expectation, the man took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
小明一愣，自他出道這么多日，還沒見過這樣的，不過小明自有方法。只見小明立刻換了一張可憐巴巴的臉，抱住男人的大腿，哭道：“大哥啊，我也是為了生活才來推銷手機的啊。只要一千，一千就行了……”他竟然一把鼻涕，一把眼淚地訴說起來。連男子都有點被打動，手在袋子里動了動，小明一陣竊喜——有戲。于是哭得越發慘烈了。果然，男子掏出十張百元鈔遞給小明，拿了手機就匆匆離去。
