Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 290 The Soviet Union is corrupt

Due to the economic depression in the Soviet Union in recent years, there is a severe shortage of goods in the market. Although the official exchange rate of the ruble has not changed much, it has been depreciating in essence. Therefore, many local people are forced by life and do everything possible to make some money, resulting in this place.

Shopping is as common as it was in the early days of China's reform and opening up.

In this port city, there is also a place like this. Here, there are all kinds of stalls, ranging from antiques, small wooden servants, tea sets, decorative utensils and other handicrafts to various daily necessities, to those

Various impressive Soviet military and police uniforms were also put up for sale at the stalls. Coats, caps, belts, badges, medals, etc. were 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 their retirement allowances, so they have to exchange the military uniforms and medals that accompanied their military careers for some living expenses.

.However, this kind of place is no better than those state-owned stores, and there may be fake goods." Luo Jin said as he walked, "Don't think that the people selling goods here are all old men, but sometimes there are people behind them.

Our people make some fake things and let them sell them. They are used to deceive the tourists from our country."

"Dollar?" As they were talking, a young Soviet man jumped out from the side and stopped in front of the three of them.

"This is a Soviet tycoon who speculates in foreign currencies!" Luo Jin waved his hand to him impatiently and said, "No, no."

"Han friends, don't be like this." The young man said in a strange Chinese accent, "If you don't have a dollar, then you have to have a guide." Fang Mingyuan and the three of them couldn't help but laugh.

"As long as you pay one hundred rubles, 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, "I can definitely make you feel that it is worth your money!"

"

"One hundred rubles! That's too high!" Luo Jin shook his head and said, "Thirty rubles!" Since this young man spoke Chinese fairly well and actually knew that value for money was worth it, Luo Jin didn't bother.

He speaks Russian, which saves him having to translate for Fang Mingyuan and others.

"No, no, no, that price is just for ordinary traveling Han friends, like a few big bosses, thirty rubles, it's too shameless to tell!" the young man said, shaking his head.

"Big boss? Why do you think we are like big bosses?" Wu Wei said funny. In this foreign country, he found it very interesting to meet a foreigner who could communicate with him in his native language.

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

people!"

Fang Mingyuan and the other three couldn't help laughing. It was interesting to think about a foreigner talking about temperament with a Chinese.

The young man laughed and said, "What do the three bosses want to buy here? We have everything here."

"Do you have any military vehicles?" Wu Wei asked deliberately, "I think your military's off-road vehicles 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 are not afraid of anything happening in your country, I can deliver the car you want to the designated location opposite."

Wu Wei was slightly moved. He didn't expect that a small businessman who bought foreign currency in a place like this would have such a loud tone.

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

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

"I think you shouldn't call me Huo Ke, you should call me a scourge!" Wu Wei said. He dared to resell military supplies, so what else could it be if it wasn't a scourge?

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

Khodorkovsky opened the banknote in his hand and glanced at it. He immediately smiled and saw a brand new ten-dollar banknote. He immediately stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, and his expression was a little more respectful. This was a big surprise.

Big fish, temperament and so on, he originally just said that, but every time the Chinese heard it, they would be very happy. But no one was as generous as this young man. Ten dollars, this is not enough

Rubles on the street!

"What do the three bosses want to see? Even a military vehicle, I guarantee that I can get it for you three!" Khodorkovsky said, patting his chest after receiving the money.

"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 comprehensive types and the largest number of medals in the world. There were the "Hero of the Soviet Union" medals and the "Victory" medals established for commanders and soldiers who made outstanding achievements in the war;

The "Red Banner of Labor" medal and the "Sickle and Axe" gold medal were established by the socialist workers; there were even "Heroic Mother" medals for Soviet women who had many children.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Soviet medals, one of the symbols of that era, seemed to become worthless overnight. However, in the antique markets of China and other countries around the world, these beautifully crafted Soviet medals with rich historical significance have become

Many collectors love collections. Generally speaking, the price of medals 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. Fang Mingyuan became curious about Soviet medals this time.

Something that I will never forget when I come to the Far East. Anyway, as long as you buy the genuine article, no matter how much money you spend, you will not lose money on this transaction. Fang Mingyuan remembers that in his previous life, several Soviet medals were auctioned in the UK, with the starting price being 10,000 pounds.

Above. So as long as you take it out, you will get a lot of profit. And if you don't sell it, it is a rare treasure to keep it yourself.

"Brother Fang!" Luo Jin pulled Fang Mingyuan with a slightly changed expression, and the two of them walked a few steps to the side, "According to Soviet law, some medals are not allowed to be taken out of the country. It will be troublesome when going through customs.

"

"Brother Luo, can't you carry him through even with your ability?" Fang Mingyuan asked.

Luo Jin said with some embarrassment: "The risk is a bit high! And I'm afraid that people will do harm secretly." Although he said that most of the time when he entered and exited the port, he was exempted from inspection. Sometimes, Luo Jin would hide some things and take them back home, but

They were all discovered, so it’s not a big deal. The most they can do is pay taxes. Perhaps many foreign tourists know that Russian oil paintings must go through exit procedures when leaving the country, but few people know the legal provisions regarding medals. Faced with a dazzling array of

Foreign tourists simply don’t know which medals and commemorative medals are allowed to leave the country and which are prohibited. If discovered by customs, they may be prosecuted.

What Luo Jin is even more worried about is that in recent years, at the Hua-Su border ports, people often sell some precious and valuable things to Chinese tourists, and then the customs officers will detain these things when they pass through the customs.

, and then extort large amounts of property from the Chinese in the name of prosecution. It has never happened here in Huhe, but he has heard of it at several other ports. Although there are people at the customs here in Luo Jin, they have never encountered such a situation.

He had no idea whether he could cover the matter or not.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said: "That's okay. Didn't Huo Ke say that he could even send military vehicles there? Hey, money can make all the devils go around. Isn't this what foreign devils are?"

"Can you trust him?" Luo Jin curled his lips and said, "Old Maozi, he is cunning and cunning. And when there is an opportunity to take advantage, he will never give up the opportunity to rob him by taking advantage of the fire! Let us think about our country, let them take advantage of the fire and rob them.

How much good stuff and how much territory we have taken! If nothing else, the land under our feet used to belong to our country during the Qing Dynasty. Brother, don’t look at me doing business in the Soviet Union, but I can tell you that I

I have no good impressions of Lao Maozi or Japan. When I was in Northeast China, people from these two countries did not do anything good!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded with deep sympathy. Although he had no favorable impression of Japan, he also had no favorable impression of the Soviet Union and later Russia.

At that time, Tsarist Russia occupied a large amount of land in the northeast and northwest of China through embezzlement from the corrupt Qing Dynasty. It also included the northeast into its sphere of influence. The Russo-Japanese War was fought on the territory of China. And later

Although the Soviet Union provided certain assistance to China, the separation of Outer Mongolia from China was caused by the Soviet Union. Moreover, when the Soviet army entered the Northeast to expel the Japanese army, they destroyed a large number of Japanese factories, machines, and property in the Northeast.

He moved back to his home country. That's why Fang Mingyuan had to rack his brains to find new ways to make money from these two countries. No matter how much he made, no matter what means he used, he would not feel guilty. Instead, he would only have the pleasure of revenge.

.

"Brother Luo, these are things for later. Let's go take a look first. If there is anything valuable, we will find a solution later." Fang Mingyuan patted Luo Jin on the shoulder, feeling a little better about him.

In the following time, the three of them, Chen Zhong and three other bodyguards followed Khodorkovsky around the market and discovered that Khodorkovsky had many 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. Khodorkovsky greeted the stall owner affectionately: "Hey, Uncle Nakhimov, I brought you a

Big customer, take out those treasures of yours."
