Chapter 491: How Poor Are Marriage Websites?
Tokyo, Japan.
A certain specialty restaurant.
Li Shuixiu and Jiang Feng were eating and chatting.
Li Shuixiu asked: "Jiang Feng, are you coming to Tokyo for tourism?"
Jiang Feng said: "Yes and no, I am a matchmaker. I came to Tokyo to match a client. Traveling is just a side trip."
Li Shuixiu said in surprise: "Isn't it right? Jiang Feng, you are actually a matchmaker? And you are now doing cross-border matchmaking?"
She has lived in China for more than 20 years, and a relative of her family once worked as a matchmaker on a domestic dating website, so she does not know everything about the current situation of domestic matchmakers, but she basically knows what she needs to know.
Generally, full-time matchmakers are usually married women over 35 years old. There are not many male matchmakers, but their number is much smaller than that of female matchmakers.
As for the matchmakers on dating websites and matchmaking agencies, they are relatively young, but they are very different from traditional matchmakers.
Especially matchmakers on dating websites, they are really cheating people to death without paying for their lives. It is no exaggeration to say that they are no better than those MLM organizations. The only difference is that they cheat money and do not restrict your personal freedom.
According to a relative of her family who worked as a matchmaker on a dating website, they all had to undergo training after joining the job, and the training content was to listen to how other matchmakers made phone calls.
Matchmakers all have a fixed script, which they have to read to each other when making phone calls, and they also have to flexibly adjust it according to the situation of the chat. Isn't this similar to a pyramid scheme?
When talking to clients on the phone, the matchmaker's tactic is to tell the other party first: "Seeing that you have registered for our APP, we are paying close attention to you and feel that you have good conditions, but the information has not been filled in..."
Collecting other people’s information, such as place of origin, job, income, family background, etc., is the information that is usually asked during a blind date.
When chatting, you should also show enthusiasm and do everything for their own good. Tell him that there are very good people in this industry. The purpose of introducing people to others is to gain virtue for yourself, and then say that you are in a hurry, so that's why.
I'll contact you guys.
After explaining this clearly, start the routine. For example, first praise the other person and tell them that you are in good condition and why you are still single. You will also talk about when you broke up before and the reasons for the breakup. Generally, the other person will feel a little bit flattered when they hear the compliment.
The matchmaker wants to block the client's path from all aspects of work, life, and family during the chat: for example, asking if there is anyone you like at work, and then trying to find out the reasons why they are not together, and they must lead the direction to you at work.
I can't find the right person.
Do you have any friends in your life who could recommend it? If so, why didn't it work? Then block this road.
Then there is the question of whether family members have introduced you. Generally speaking, if the family member introduces you successfully, you will not be single, so you will tell him that maybe the person introduced by family members is not the type you like, and they are just urging you to find a partner.
In this way, in the early stage, all roads are blocked for customers, and a concept is brainwashed into customers, that is, you will definitely not find a partner in reality. If you don't find one from us, you may end up alone. This way, later on, you will never find a partner.
Introduce someone to him and he will have no reason to refuse.
Next, the matchmaker will ask the client what type he likes, and after finding out, he will immediately tell the client: "We happen to have a new member here", and then describe it in a way that matches the client.
If it is for male customers, the matchmaker will introduce occupations that most families would like, that is, occupations that are more "marriable", such as kindergarten teachers, nurses, bank staff, customer service, etc., which have a relatively simple working environment.
In short, the matchmaker will make up a person according to his mate selection criteria. You may not be able to make up such a person when you first become a matchmaker, but when you become a senior matchmaker, you can make up a person with your mouth open.
For example, if the man is a truck driver, the matchmaker can make up a story: "We happen to have a girl here who has done information verification. She is a kindergarten teacher, her job is relatively stable, she looks very gentle, and she speaks in a low voice. But people
No one is perfect, there must be some shortcomings!”
Matchmakers often make up some shortcomings, such as this girl
The child may be a little short, a little shorter than what you asked for, but a little shorter is actually acceptable to everyone. If everything is in line, the customer may instead doubt that there is something wrong, or there is a gap with his expectations. As long as there is a gap
It's not too big, they will all believe it.
There are very few clients in small cities, and the matchmaker can only get two or three clients per person every day. The matchmaker's job is to make phone calls with these two or three people all day long.
Generally speaking, a matchmaker can call one or two people to the store a day by phone.
And these clients will come here, nine times out of ten, because they want to meet the girl that the matchmaker made up.
After "liar" people into the store, there will be other departments and personnel to receive them.
This reception is in a small dark room with a sofa, and two people sit face to face and chat. The content of the chat is basically the same as the routine on the phone. The guest will be shown some so-called member information and guided in various aspects.
Blocked.
This kind of chat usually lasts for a long time, and it is normal to chat for two or three hours.
During this period, they will continue to create anxiety and rush you anxiously. When recommending a package later, they will also tell customers that the price is half paid by each other. In fact, it is not the case at all. They just earn a share from each of you.
money.
The lowest package price is more than 6,000 yuan, while the higher package prices range from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
When they deceive customers into signing a contract, they always say that they will help you find them. In fact, the package is within a certain period, and you can meet a few people a month. If you exceed that time, the money and goods will be settled. They don't care about the people they meet.
Is it suitable for you? It means that members who have paid money are gathered together. If you can, you can do it. If you don't like it, there is nothing you can do. Most people can't find it and they have been defrauded of their money.
Therefore, some old members often come to the store to make trouble, which is basically a tactic of "drag". This is true in the whole industry. When customers come to make trouble, the leaders are also very rogue. Just make trouble if you make trouble, but what do you have?
Is there any way to get the money back?
There are also customers who are more cautious at the beginning and choose a package worth more than 6,000. But if they find that you have a better spending power, they may not be in a hurry to trick you into paying 10,000 to 20,000 at first, and will let you pay 6,000 first.
, after meeting a few people, I will tell you that the money you paid is not enough. If you pay more money, there are several better resources that can be introduced to you to make a second payment.
Sometimes they will also make up some of their own things, such as I am a single mother and how hard it is to raise children alone. Because many customers are divorced, it is easy for the salesperson to be empathetic. In addition, if you have
If you have similar emotional experiences, it is easier to get closer. Many deceptions are based on trust.
Li Shuixiu's relative still has some conscience. When she met a relatively miserable client, she really couldn't bear to lie to him. In addition, her work experience tortured her conscience, and she even deceived people to the point of self-loathing.
, he simply resigned and quit.
I think that compared to dating websites, the matchmakers in dating agencies are a little more reliable. At least they won't make up a random person to deceive customers. They just make matches based on the original resources. Whether they can succeed depends on the luck of the customers.
As for whether you will be happy after you get married, that's not a matchmaker's business to worry about.
At this time, Jiang Feng had already seen Li Shuixiu's matching information and had a clear understanding of her current situation. He said with a smile: "Sister Li, are you surprised that I am a matchmaker at such a young age? After all, I am engaged in the matchmaking industry.
In my impression, they are all older married women."
Li Shuixiu said: "I am indeed a little surprised, especially since you have developed into a cross-border matchmaker. Are you a matchmaker on a dating website?"
Jiang Feng shook his head and said: "No, I opened a dating agency in our province of Guizhou. It has a pretty good reputation in the country and has helped many clients find happiness. This client in Tokyo actually heard a recommendation from a friend and then flew to Guizhou province in person to ask for a marriage.
I'm here to help her be a matchmaker."
Li Shuixiu praised: "It's amazing!" Regardless of whether she believed it or not, she couldn't question it face to face.
Jiang Feng knew what she was feeling now and said, "Actually, in addition to being a matchmaker, I also work part-time as a fortune teller. My best skill is predicting marriage, so my fans also nicknamed me Master Jiang.
I just
I just looked at your face, Sister Li, and found that your marital status is a bit unsatisfactory. It is fate that we can meet in a foreign country.
If you need it, Sister Li, I can help you calculate your marriage in detail and give you the best advice. If you don't need it, forget it."
When she just heard Jiang Feng say that he also works as a fortune teller and is especially good at predicting marriages, Li Shuixiu really doubted whether she had met a liar.
But then Jiang Feng accurately stated that her marital status was unsatisfactory, and Li Shuixiu was a little unsure. After all, only she really knew what her marital status was like.
Besides, the encounter between her and Jiang Feng was really just an accident. There was no possibility that they deliberately set up a trap to deceive her.
Inferring from this, Jiang Feng probably really knows how to read fortune-telling and is quite accomplished, otherwise he would not be so "shameless" that he would help her calculate her marriage in detail and give her the best advice.
Thinking of this, Li Shuixiu said: "I didn't expect that you are also a master of divine calculation. How disrespectful! Then please ask Master Jiang to help me calculate my marriage!"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "That's easy to say. Sister Li, please provide me with your birthday and horoscope. I will make a good calculation for you after dinner."
Li Shuixiu nodded, and after announcing her birth date, she warmly greeted Jiang Feng and others to eat.
When he was almost done eating, Jiang Feng started to help Li Shuixiu "calculate".
After holding his fingers professionally for three minutes, Jiang Feng looked at Li Shuixiu and said, "Sister Li, I have basically calculated your situation. You ignored your parents' strong opposition and chose to marry far away in Japan. You thought you would live an ideal life.
Happy life, but life after marriage is not as beautiful as imagined.
You cannot adapt to Japanese society by following the local customs. You are favored by your parents. After marriage, your husband will take priority in everything. You cannot adapt to the role of a housewife.
The most important thing is that you find that your husband does not love you as much as you thought, and your efforts are rewarded by his cheating, and you feel like a joke.
You have been wanting to divorce during this time, but you haven't really taken this step because of various worries. I don't know if I am right?"
Li Shuixiu was shocked to hear what the other party said was accurate, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. This is really unbelievable. There is such a powerful master of divine calculation hidden in the country?
The key is that this master of divine calculation is still so young!
Li Shuixiu exclaimed: "Master Jiang, you are really amazing. Your calculations are all right. My current marital status is like this. I have always wanted to divorce, but I talked too much in front of my parents. Now I am divorced and returning to China."
It's so embarrassing!
Besides, I brought the child up with my own hands and feet. If I get divorced, I will definitely be reluctant to let go of the child. But if I take the child away, let alone whether I can fight for him or not, even if I succeed in fighting for the custody of the child.
, I’m afraid I won’t be welcomed by my parents if I take it back home.
This is the main reason why I have been hesitant to make the decision to divorce."
Baili Wutong and Guo Bingbing are accustomed to Li Shuixiu's exclamation. They have seen their boss's magical calculation ability too many times!
Jiang Feng said: "Sister Li, let's deal with the two issues you mentioned one by one. First, let's talk about the fact that you got divorced and returned to China without the face to face your parents. I don't think you need to be too strong, Sister Li.
What's so shameful about bowing your head in front of you?
In this world, only parents are the most tolerant to their children. No matter what you do wrong, they will choose to forgive you. What's more, you just married the wrong person. They will only feel sorry for how much you have suffered over the years.
Wronged."
Hearing this, Li Shuixiu's eyes turned slightly red. She knew that Jiang Feng was right. Based on her understanding of her parents, if she divorced and returned to China, her parents would definitely keep silent about her choices back then, and would only care about what she had eaten over the years.
I have suffered so much and suffered so many grievances.
This is what she is actually afraid of. If her parents choose to scold her or use their words to ridicule her, she will not feel so uncomfortable.
Just listen to Jiang Feng continue: "As for the second question, are you afraid of your parents because your child is of Japanese origin?"
So there is some truth in not liking it. After all, the hatred between Japan and our country is not easy to erase.
But there is no use avoiding this matter. In the end, you still have to choose to face it.
What's more, people's hearts are made of flesh. If you take your child back to China, even if the parents don't like it at first, they will eventually have feelings for you after they get along for a long time.
If a child grows up in our country and receives education and culture from our country, then he will be an authentic Chinese."
Li Shuixiu nodded repeatedly after hearing these words. The reason why she was unable to make a decision was because she could not discuss this issue with her family and friends.
