Reborn Resource Tycoon

Chapter 290

Due to the economic depression in the Soviet Union in recent years and the shortage of goods in the market, although the official exchange rate of the ruble has not changed, it has been depreciating in essence. Therefore, many local people are forced by life and do everything possible to make some money. Just like in the early days of China's reform and opening up, reselling became common. twenty three

In this port city, there is also such a place, where there are all kinds of stalls, from antiques, small wooden servants, tea sets, decorative utensils and other handicrafts to various daily necessities, and then to those All kinds of majestic Soviet military uniforms and police uniforms were also put on the stalls for sale.Coats, caps, belts, badges, medals, etc. are all available.

"The Soviet Union is no longer what it used to be. Many soldiers who participated in the Great Patriotic War can no longer meet their living needs with the retirement allowance, so they have to exchange the uniforms and medals that accompanied their military career for some living expenses. But this kind of place is no different than those state-run stores, there are also possible fakes." Luo Jin said as he walked, "Don't look at the old men who sell goods here, but sometimes there are people behind them. Our people make some fake things and let them sell them. It is used to deceive the tourists from our country."

"Dollar?" While speaking, a young Soviet man jumped out from the side and stopped the three of them.

"This is the Soviet Union who speculates in foreign currency!" Luo Jin waved his hands impatiently and said, "No, no."

"Han friends, don't do this." The young man said in a strange Chinese, "If you don't have a dollar, you need a guide." The three of Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing.

"You only need to pay one hundred rubles, and you can get a guide who is familiar with the market conditions. No matter what you want to buy, I can help you." The young man patted his chest and said, "It will definitely make you feel that it is worth the money! "

"One hundred rubles! It's too high!" Luo Jin shook his head and said, "Thirty rubles!" Since this young man's Chinese is still reasonable, and he knows that the price is worth it, Luo Jin didn't bother to say It's Russian, so I have to translate it for Fang Mingyuan and the others.

"No, no, no, that price is only for Han Chinese friends who are ordinary tourists. For a few big bosses like this, thirty rubles, it's too embarrassing to say it!" The young man shook his head and said authentically.

"Big boss? Why do you think we are like big bosses?" Wu Wei said with a smile.In this foreign country, it is very interesting for him to meet a foreigner who can communicate with him in his mother tongue.

"In the words of your Han people, it's called..." The young man paused for a while before saying, "Temperament, yes, yes, that's the pronunciation, temperament! Looking at the three, they have a different temperament from other people! It's not like ordinary people. people!"

The three of Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. It was interesting for a foreigner to talk about temperament with a Chinese.

The young man laughed and said, "The three bosses are here to buy something? We have everything here."

"Do you have any military vehicles?" Wu Wei asked intentionally, "I think the off-road vehicles in your army are pretty good, can you get them?"

The young man looked around, lowered his voice and said, "As long as you can afford the money and you are not afraid of accidents in your country, I can deliver the car you want to the designated place across the street."

Wu Wei was a little moved, he never expected that such a big loser who bought foreign currency in this kind of place would have such a big tone.

"What's your name?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

"Khodokovsky?" The young man spoke Russian, and then said in Chinese, "My Chinese name is Huo Ke!"

"I don't think you should be called Huo Ke, you should be called Scourge!" Wu Wei interjected.The materials in the military dare to resell, what is it if it is not a scourge?

"Khodokovsky, well, this is your reward!" Fang Mingyuan handed him a banknote and said, "If the service satisfies us, there will be a reward!"

Khodokovsky opened the bill in his hand and glanced at it, and immediately smiled, a brand new ten-dollar bill.He immediately stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, and his expression became more respectful.This is a bump into a big fish, temperament or something, originally he just said that, but every time the Chinese hear it, they will be very happy.But no one is as generous as this young man.Ten dollars, this is not a ruble full of streets!

"What do the three bosses want to see? It's a military vehicle, and I promise I can get it for the three of you!" Khodokovsky, who had received the money, patted his chest and said.

"Take us to see the medals you sell here." Fang Mingyuan waved his hand.

In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, the former Soviet Union was the country with the most complete types and the largest number of medals in the world.There are "Hero of the Soviet Union" medals and "Victory" medals for commanders and fighters who have made great achievements in the war; there are "Labor Red Banner" medals and "Sickle and Axe" gold medals for socialist workers who have outstanding work. ; There is even a "Hero Mother" medal for those Soviet women who have multiple children.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Soviet medal, which was one of the symbols of that era, seemed to have become worthless overnight.However, in the antique market in China and other countries in the world, these beautifully crafted Soviet medals with rich historical meaning have become the favorite collections of many collectors.Generally speaking, the price of the medal mainly depends on the following factors: the time of award, the number of awards, the identity of the owner of the medal, and the reason for the award.Curiosity about the medals of the Soviet Union became something that Fang Mingyuan never forgot when he came to the Far East this time.Anyway, as long as you buy a real product, no matter how much money you spend, you can't lose the deal.Fang Mingyuan remembered that in his previous life, several Soviet medals were auctioned off in Britain, and the starting price was more than [-] pounds.So as long as you take it out, it will be a huge profit.And if you don't sell it, it's a rare wealth to keep it yourself.

"Brother Fang!" Luo Jin grabbed Fang Mingyuan with a slightly changed expression, and the two walked a few steps to the side, "According to the laws of the Soviet Union, some medals are not allowed to be taken out of the country, and it is troublesome when going through customs. "

"Brother Luo, can't you take it with your ability?" Fang Mingyuan asked back.

Luo Jin said with some embarrassment: "The risk is a bit high! And I'm afraid that people will do things secretly." Although most of the time when he enters and exits the port, he is exempted from inspection, and sometimes Luo Jin will hide some things privately and bring them back to the country, but That's all been discovered, and it's no big deal, the most you can do is pay taxes.Perhaps many foreign tourists know that Russian oil paintings must go through the exit procedures, but few people know about the legal regulations on medals.Faced with a dazzling array of medals and commemorative medals, foreign tourists simply don't know which of them are allowed to leave the country and which ones are prohibited from leaving the country.If found by customs, it is possible to be prosecuted.

And what Luo Jin is even more worried about is that in the past few years, at the Huaxia border ports, people often sell some precious and valuable things to Chinese tourists first, and then the customs officers will detain these things when they pass through the customs , and then extorted a large amount of property from the Chinese in the name of prosecution.It didn't happen on the Huhe side, but he had heard of the other ports.Although there are people at Luo Jin's customs here, he has no idea whether he can cover this kind of thing.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a while and said: "That's okay. Didn't Huo Ke say that he can even send military vehicles over there? Hehe, money can turn ghosts around. Isn't this just foreign devils?"

"You can trust him?" Luo Jin pouted, "Old man, you are cunning and cunning. And when there is an advantage to take advantage of, you will never give up the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob! Count our country, let them take advantage of the fire to rob How many good things to walk, how much territory! Not to mention anything else, the land under our feet was originally our country during the Qing Dynasty. Brother, don’t think I’m doing business with the Soviet Union, but I can tell you, I I don't like Lao Maozi and Little Japan, and people from these two countries didn't do anything good in the Northeast back then!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded in sympathy. He certainly didn't like Japan, but he also didn't like the Soviet Union and even Russia later.

The Tsarist Russia at that time occupied a large amount of land in the northeast and northwest of China from the corrupt Qing Dynasty by means of embezzlement.It also included the Northeast into its sphere of influence, and the Russo-Japanese War was fought on the territory of China.Although the Soviet Union later said that it had given China some assistance, the split of Outer Mongolia from China was caused by the Soviet Union.Moreover, when the Soviet army entered the Northeast to expel the Japanese army, it moved a large number of Japanese factories, machines, and property in the Northeast back to the country.That's why Fang Mingyuan had to rack his brains and change his ways to get money from these two countries. No matter how much money he got, no matter what means he used, he would never feel guilty.And only a thrill of revenge.

"Brother Luo, these are all things for later. Let's go and see first. If there is something of value, let's figure out a way." Fang Mingyuan patted Luo Jin on the shoulder, feeling a little more fond of him.

In the following time, when the three of them and Chen Zhong and other three bodyguards followed Khodokovsky around the market, they discovered that this Khodokowski had a lot of acquaintances in this market, From time to time, someone would greet him affectionately.

Several people walked all the way to the edge of the market before stopping in front of a stall.Khodokovsky greeted the stall owner cordially and said, "Hey, Mr. Nakhimov, I have brought you a big client. Take out your treasures."
