Are you a Japanese Model? 北京奇遇记（二）
My friend Peter is a young and energetic guy from Los Angels. Last January, I was in the States, he brought me to a few dance clubs. He always seemed to get to talk to the best looking girls and had their phone numbers. “How did you do that?” I asked him. “Try this, you walk to the most beautiful girl and say, are you a Japanese Model?”
Couple of weeks ago, I brought a lady friend to watch a movie in the Oriental Plaza in WanFuJin, Beijing. When we were having our dinner, a young Chinese guy came over to my lady friend and said in Chinese: “You have great facial features, you should be a model.” My friend just happened to have a few years of modeling experience when she was still in high school. She had Russian blood and great facial contour. “I did that for a few years. But have since retired from the business.” The young guy went on and told us that he is from a modeling agency and they are look for models of all kind.
“Our headquarter is in Atlanta, USA. Here is our address in Beijing. Our office is in JianWai SOHO (a high end business district or Centre Business District) Come to our information session next Tuesday night at 7:00pm. There will be a lot of people. So do come on time.” He left us with his name card. My reference number is: xxxx.
“I am interested in attending. What do you think?” My friend asked me. “Sure, give them a call, they will tell you to bring some money for the entrance fee.” I told her.
The next day, my lady friend called me. “Hey, smart guy, you know what? They will charge me 200Yuan for the entrance fee.” “Yes and if you do attend, they will resell you to a training session and you will pay a few thousand RMB course fee” I stayed cool.
My friend graduated from the Beijing broadcasting institute. “You know, you should start similar business and with your knowledge of the Beijing broadcasting institute. You should have no problem buying a BMW 5 series with the business. You can franchise the business model to all the cities in China.”
“By the way, you need also hire a few agents who speak Russian. Yes, Russian also can pay you in RMB, don’t they? Hey, beautiful, are you a Russian model?”
