Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"If you can really find so many cameras, then I can do this business with you.

After all, I can sell these cameras after I get them back."

Zhao Zhuo made his intentions clear.

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but ask:

"How many cameras do you need?"

"The more, the better. It should be about a hundred."

Hearing this, the old man was suddenly shocked:

"One hundred?! Can you sell that many cameras?"

"Then you don't have to worry. I dare you to find a way naturally. The question now is whether you can get so many cameras."

The old man heard this, thought about it carefully, and then said:

"If you count all the photo studios in the city and surrounding towns together, there will be almost more than a hundred."

After a pause, the old man said with a troubled expression:

"However, it would be too troublesome to go to nearby towns to contact those people."

As he said that, the old man stared straight at Zhao Zhuo, his eyes seemed to have something in mind.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo immediately understood what the old man meant and couldn't help but smile:

"Don't worry, if you can really accomplish this, I won't let your hard work go in vain."

After speaking, Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment and then said:

"Let's do this. You make a bid first. How many cans do you want for these two cameras?"

After hearing this, the old man inquired in detail about the net content and type of the can, and then made the request:

"A camera costs at least ten cans."

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"Okay, then the price of one camera will be ten cans. As long as you can get a camera, I will give you as many cameras as the price of ten cans.

As for how much you want to give to other people, that has nothing to do with me."

When saying this, Zhao Zhuo did not forget to give his boss a "you understand" expression.

The old man understood immediately and said with a smile on his face:

"No problem! Even if I break my leg running away, I will get these one hundred cameras together for you!"

"Can I tell you in advance whether the camera is broken or not? I will check it one by one."

"Hey, don't worry, I guarantee that every camera is good!"

The old man made some calculations in his mind and found out that he could make a lot of money just by taking some money from this business. He smiled and felt that he had found a way to make money.

The two people discussed the details in detail and then signed the deal.

It was only at this time that Zhao Zhuo learned that the old man's name was Ivan.

"By the way, I have one more request."

Old Ivan suddenly thought of something and said with a confused look on his face.

"Why, are there any other questions?"

Zhao Zhuo asked with a slightly helpless expression.

Seeing this, Old Ivan quickly said:

"I need to run around to contact the camera. But even if I contact them all, I don't know if you want it or not."

"Didn't I say that I can take as much as you have?"

Zhao Zhuo said calmly.

"That's true. But the problem is, if you don't want it at that time, my hard work will not be in vain."

Old Ivan told the truth.

Zhao Zhuo asked:

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, Old Ivan thought for a moment and then said:

"I mean, can you give me something first as a deposit?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded in agreement.

He knew that old Ivan's worries were normal.

So, Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment and took out a bottle of Maotai liquor from his backpack:

"How do you think this mortgage works with you?"

Zhao Zhuo brought two bottles of Maotai liquor before he came. One bottle was given to Yalikov, and there was just one bottle left.

"This is our Chinese Moutai..."

Just as Zhao Zhuo was about to explain, he saw old Ivan nodding his head with a happy face:

"Okay, okay, that's really okay! Your Chinese Maotai liquor is a good thing with a price but no market in our underground black market! You need to buy it with gold!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhuo realized that Moutai was so famous in the Soviet Union.

"In that case, let's make an agreement. I will come to your store to inspect the goods tomorrow night."

Zhao Zhuo said calmly.

"no problem!"

…

After Zhao Zhuo left the photo studio, the expression of joy could no longer be suppressed on his face.

Because Zhang Qian worked in a cannery, Zhao Zhuo had already inquired that the price of a canned vegetable was only three yuan!

In other words, Zhao Zhuo can exchange for a camera with a market price of 1,000 yuan in China for 30 yuan!

Back at the hotel, Zhao Zhuo rested until evening, then went out to find a more authentic-looking Chinese restaurant and prepared to have a meal.

After entering and getting the menu, Zhao Zhuocai found out helplessly that this restaurant just looked more authentic.

Looking at the strange dishes above, including tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, and deep-fried pork ribs, Zhao Zhuo suddenly felt like crying.

Zhao Zhuo frowned and was just about to order a few dishes to fill his stomach when he suddenly heard a familiar voice next to him:

"Don't you have anything serious to eat in this store? What are these..."

Zhao Zhuo looked over following the voice and saw a girl talking angrily to the waiter.

"Li Mengshi?"

Zhao Zhuo asked in surprise.

Hearing the sound, the girl turned around and looked happy:

"Zhao Zhuo! Why are you here!"

For a moment, Li Mengshi stopped talking to the waiter and came over with a surprised look on her face.

"Of course I'm here to eat, I can't just be here to play."

Zhao Zhuo said dumbfounded.

Only then did Li Mengshi realize that there was something wrong with what she said, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Hehehe, I mean it's quite a coincidence that we meet here again."

"Yes. How was your play today?"

Zhao Zhuo asked with a smile.

Li Mengshi curled her lips when she heard this:

"It's not interesting. I thought it would be fun, but when I came here, I realized that it was just like that in many places.

What’s more important is that I don’t even understand what they are saying!”

Speaking of this, Li Mengshi seemed particularly excited.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile:

"The language barrier is indeed a bit troublesome. It's a pity that I have to do business, otherwise I could be a guide for you."

Hearing this, Li Mengshi couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Ah, it turns out you can also speak Russian!"

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"There's no problem with basic communication."

Hearing this, Li Mengshi couldn't help but nodded with regret:

"Yeah, it would be nice if you weren't busy."

After a pause, Li Mengshi suddenly had an idea:

"Hey, that's right! I don't have anywhere I want to go anyway, so I'll go do business with you tomorrow!"
