Chapter 109 Discovering Business Opportunities
Xu Yuan said to the police chief: "Mr. Chief, we do not want to be interviewed, nor do we want to expose personal information to attract attention. First, I heard that Kirilenko has a terrorist background. I am afraid that I will be retaliated against. Second , I also don’t want our relatives in China to know about this incident and be frightened. We are ordinary international students, and we are not mentally prepared for this kind of thing, and we have never thought about catching any wanted criminals. Therefore, if personal information must be exposed, this We don't want the bonus."
The police chief smiled slightly and said to Xu Yuan: "Don't worry, we have a complete witness protection plan, and you don't have to worry about these things. I guarantee that no information about the two of you will appear in the media." Then, he After briefing Xu Yuan and Wen Miao about follow-up matters and precautions, the policewoman from yesterday escorted the two of them and Wen Lei away.
After leaving the police station, Xu Yuan remembered that Kirilenko had thrown away her mobile phone yesterday, but fortunately Wen Lei picked it up.Although the phone was broken, the SIM card was fine, so I put the card into Wen Lei's phone yesterday to report to his parents that he was safe.Otherwise, with Xu Yongping's character, if he couldn't contact his daughter overnight, he must have come to Russia today.Now, she needs to buy a new mobile phone, and Wen Miao's mobile phone does not have international roaming, so it is very inconvenient to contact her, so she has to apply for a Russian SIM card as soon as possible.
So, the three of them set out to settle these matters first.They came to Arbat Avenue in the city center, which is the busiest business district in Moscow, not one of them.
In fact, Arbat Street is divided into "new" and "old".Old Arbat is a folk pedestrian street, while New Arbat is a modern commercial street.Xu Yuan and the others visited New Arbat Street first, and because they wanted to buy a mobile phone, they went into a communication supplies store.
In Russia in [-], due to the high import tariffs on communication products, the price of imported mobile phones was generally not low, and the quality of local brands was not good, so the penetration rate of mobile phones in Russia was very low, and there were not many communication supplies stores.
In this store, Xu Yuan and the others found that more than 4000 Nokia N70s in China were sold for 7000 rubles, equivalent to more than [-] RMB.
"Why is the mobile phone here so much more expensive than in China?" Wen Miao curled her lips and muttered softly.
"Import tax rates are different in different countries, and some things are expensive over there, but cheaper here." Wen Lei explained to his sister.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Yuan's heart moved: "If you sell Chinese mobile phones to Russia, and then sell cheap Russian things back to China, wouldn't the profit in the middle be very considerable? Anyway, idle is idle, I just got a reward for nothing, and when I get it, I can discuss it with Wen Miao, and I can use it as capital to invest in this kind of business."
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan was in a good mood, and bought the Nokia N70 priced at [-] rubles without hesitation.
Coming out of the communication supplies store, the three of them entered the "Russian New Rich World" at No. 36 Arbat Street.This is a shopping mall specializing in the sale of European and American luxury brands, including Hermes, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and so on.As the name suggests, the shopping mall is the most frequented place for elites and upstarts from all walks of life in Russia.
Because Xu Yuan has the idea of doing business in her heart, she pays special attention to the prices of all commodities and keeps them in her heart so that she can compare them with domestic ones and find out which commodities are worth buying.
She found that the prices of these luxury goods are basically the same as those in China, with the exception of cosmetics.Contrary to mobile phones, they are much cheaper than domestic ones.These big-name make-up and skin care products, which cost thousands in China, are priced in Russia at about [-]% off the domestic price, which is still very valuable for reselling.
Opposite Upstart World is a store called The Gem Store.Its exterior wall is very characteristic. At first glance, it seems to be full of colorful and clueless lines, like children's graffiti, but when you look closely, you can see a different feeling.Just like the works of the abstract painting school, the emphasis is on the feeling of art rather than the depiction of objects.It is said that this wall was designed to commemorate the famous Russian rock master, Victor Zoy, and it symbolizes the rock spirit that never follows the trend.
The gem shop sells all kinds of ancient jewelry and handicrafts, from the Tsarist era to the former Soviet Union, especially the Soviet period.All kinds of jewelry with red five-pointed stars and red flag patterns shine in the glass counter.
Xu Yuan took a fancy to a pair of antique watches, said to be commemorative models of Lenin's death, very precious.She bought it right away, intending to give it to her parents as a souvenir for their silver wedding anniversary.
Among the objects from the Tsarist era, Xu Yuan discovered a very unique hexagram ring.
The salesperson said that the ring once belonged to Peter III's lover Voronzova.Peter III is the husband of the most outstanding empress Catherine II in Russian history, but he was also kicked out of the throne by his wife.This ring became an excuse for Catherine II to get rid of Voroncova: Legend has it that King Solomon had a hexagram ring that allowed him to command devils and ghosts, so Voroncova was considered a witch of the cholera royal family And was sentenced to death.
This hexagram ring with historical bloodstains is naturally valuable, even Xu Yuan couldn't help but be speechless.Although she couldn't put it down, she reluctantly put it back and left the gem shop with Wen Miao and Wen Lei.
Go to the end of New Arbat Street, turn another corner, and you will arrive at Old Arbat Street.There are more people in the old street than in the new street, and it is more lively.It is more like an exotic "Wangfujing Snack Street". In addition to shops selling Russian handicrafts, there are bars and cafes with parasols and wicker chairs at the entrance. People just sit on the side of the street and enjoy the street view leisurely. .
The biggest feature of Old Arbat Street is the painting stalls on the street for tourists. If all tourists who come here don't bring a portrait of themselves back, it will be a waste of time.Because it is impossible to say which painter who has become famous or is about to become famous will hide in the crowd selling paintings and paint you a priceless portrait.
Xu Yuan and Wen Miao each chose a painter and sat there waiting for their portraits to be released.
Wen Lei quietly said to his sister: "I seem to have left something in the gem shop just now, please draw a portrait here first, I will go back and get it."
"Okay, then you go and come back quickly, we will wait for you here." Wen Miao nodded and said.
"Well, I'll be back soon." After Wen Lei finished speaking, he went straight to the gem shop and bought the hexagram ring that Xu Yuan was fancying without hesitation...
