"金生意"

  I bought a book in the Ningbo Airport.  It was named "金生意", but it has nothing to do with the trading of gold. 

在民国時代的舊上海, 稱呼算命的行业為 "金生意".  這書運用小說 形式, 揭穿當時的算命人各种詐騙 "techniques" (術),  include:

 捧(praise), 嚇(threat), 套話(face-to-face),事前調查背景(esp. for VIPs)...

  I think 這等 "技倆"古今中外 各种行业( and amongst all classes of people)都有人渣在用(当然都是騙财 and/or 色, 名...etc), 防人之心, 一定要有!! 所以我也買了一本看...從前江湖相命人, 都有一本英耀篇/賦:

"...人人晚運好, 個個子孫賢..."(捧術)
