Chapter 69 Peanuts and melon seeds are sold in the front row
(Bow and thank you for the red envelope of "Funeral Toys"!)
"Peanuts and melon seeds are sold in the front row, as well as a variety of drinks!"
This was the first thing all the Northern Russians heard when they came to the Cherf market, and they stared blankly at the Chinese holding a loudspeaker on the high platform, their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to say. {
Of course, next to this Chinese, there is also a very beautiful and charming North Russian girl, at this time, this North Russian girl is also the same as the Chinese, she is holding a horn to talk below, and everyone understands that this North Russian girl is acting as the Chinese's translator.
It's not because of how charming the North Russian girls are, it's not that they don't have a love for beauty, it's just that they don't have this mood at this time. The North Russians had come from the securities firms and the White House, because just an hour earlier, several propaganda vans had been driving up Grad Street, broadcasting on a loop that the Cherf market was a hope.
In normal times, such broadcasts would have been ignored and might even be dismissed as a joke, but now, when all the Northern Russians are at their most desperate, they have become the Sanskrit sound of Buddhism, the last straw they want to grasp in their hearts, even if they do not understand why the Cherf market is their last hope.
For Cherf, many Crisco people are no strangers, because since China and the Soviet Union carried out reform and opening up, business exchanges are very frequent, many Chinese businessmen have come to Chris to do business, and the Chinese have the habit of clustering, and do not know who led the way, in short, a few years have passed, Cherf has gradually developed into a Chinatown.
Due to some political factors and many reasons in the past, in the eyes of most foreigners, China is synonymous with poverty, backwardness and barbarism, it is for this reason that the Cherph market is also the most chaotic and dirtiest place in the eyes of the Chrisco people.
Why is there only one Chinese shouting what to sell peanuts and melon seeds?
All the Northern Russians invariably asked such a question in their hearts, and at this time, the Chinese standing on the high platform seemed to know how to read minds, saw through their thoughts, and directly asked them: "Why do I sell peanut seeds and eight-treasure porridge here?" Don't ask me this question, I'm just a Chinese businessman, I have to ask yourself, please think about yourself, why did you come here?"
This question has confused everyone at once, not because of how complicated and philosophical this question is, but because they themselves don't understand it.
Because these Northern Russians were just following the announcements of propaganda trucks on the streets of Grad, and following the people in front of them, and they themselves did not understand why.
The Chinese didn't really ask them to answer anything, he helped them answer: "It's very simple, because now the whole Chrisco, when your officials collude with Western capitalists to drive you to a dead end, only I am your last hope!"
His words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone below woke up at once.
All the Northern Russians nodded silently in unison, and they suddenly thought, yes, didn't they just want to find hope to continue to live?
So now the question arises again, how is there hope here?
At this time, the Chinese spoke again: "What is hope? There is no standard answer to this question, but I believe that for you now, being able to eat and dress warmly is your hope, and here I have everything you need! Why do I sell peanuts and melon seeds and all kinds of drinks here in the front row, just to prove to you stupid pigs in North Russia that I am not cheating you!"
People are very cheap, and if Chinese dare to speak to the Northern Russians like this in normal times, they will definitely not be able to bear this violent temper, but now, he said this, but he can only make these Northern Russians more convincing.
The Chinese took out a bottle of Coke while talking and said to the North Russians below: "I have this bottle of Coke in my hand, I believe everyone must be familiar with it, maybe for you Arctic men who drink vodka, this is just sugar water for women and children, but I'm afraid you can't even drink this sugar water now, one is that he is very expensive, and the other is that there are few places to sell it in the whole Chrisco." ”
Not only Coke, but also your favorite black bread and caviar, and in the Cherf market behind me, there are many clothes, shoes, socks and daily necessities that you can't see in other markets, only what you can't think of, there is nothing I don't have here!"
These words shook them, and the crowd below was in an uproar, because these words were the greatest good news for these desperate Northern Russians.
However, someone still reacted and asked him, "Then things here are expensive, right?"
This question immediately resonated with other people, because during this time, Chrisko's prices have completely rocketed, and they will now be poor like this, in addition to the depreciation of the ruble, a large part of it is also caused by the scarcity of these daily necessities, after all, only the scarcity of things will lead to the rise in prices, and the rise in prices will naturally lead to the continuous depreciation of the ruble, which can be said to be a vicious circle.
So at a time when the whole of Crisco was short of supplies, how could it not be expensive to suddenly appear here? You must know that during this time, there were many things that merchants hoarded.
The Chinese laughed at this time, and he said: "Expensive? That depends on how you look at it, and hearing is believing, just this bottle of Coke in my hand, if you want to buy him, you only need four hundred rubles!"
One sentence made all the North Russians below boil, not because of how high and outrageous the price was, but because the price was too fair.
You know, since the outbreak of the financial crisis of the depreciation of the ruble, the ruble has been as strong as the dollar as the international currency, all of a sudden reduced to worthless waste paper, in the past the exchange rate between the ruble and the dollar is one to one, and even the ruble is a little higher, but now, in the securities company, I am afraid that 500 rubles may not be able to exchange for a dollar, because everyone is not optimistic about the ruble, no one wants to change it at all.
But now here in the Cherf market, you can buy a bottle of Coke for four hundred rubles, even if it is only a bottle of Coke, but this is also a sign, and at this price, what about the other goods in it?
This idea made all the North Russians ecstatic, but the next sentence of the Chinese surprised everyone.
Because one of the Northern Russians suddenly asked, "Wouldn't you be able to buy this bottle of Coke for 8o cents?"
The Chinese said: "This North Russian friend, I think you seem to have misunderstood something, I mean four hundred rubles, but I didn't say eighty cents." ”
"What's the difference? Isn't the ruble worth five hundred against the dollar now?"
Someone below said curiously, and then the Chinese said: "The exchange rate is unreliable, and I will not believe in the exchange rate, I only believe in the money in my hand, so I can only trade in rubles here." ”
"Why is that?" the North Russians below were surprised, and many blurted out.
Faced with this question, Zhou Ming smiled, and then asked something that made all the Northern Russians ashamed to death: "Why? Isn't this Northern Russia? Isn't your official currency the ruble? So I ask you to trade in rubles here, is there any problem?"
All the Northern Russians bowed their heads, they didn't have the face to look at Zhou Ming, because they, as Northern Russians, gave up the ruble, but this Chinese is still insisting on using the ruble, how can this not make these Northern Russians feel ashamed?
And when the North Russians were ashamed of their actions, bursts of laughter came from the Cherv market: "Great, this Cherv market is really the hope of our North Russia, I want to go to the securities company to buy rubles, I want to buy things here with more rubles!"
These Northern Russians subconsciously raised their heads, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a few Northern Russians dragging a small trailer out of the market, he saw the black and oppressive Northern Russians outside, and immediately panicked and said: "I buy everything here from the market inside, everything is very cheap, everything is available, and you can buy it as long as rubles, you can go in and buy it if you want!"
After saying that, the Northern Russian dragged his little trailer out of the market, apparently afraid that he would be treated very roughly, which was not uncommon at a time when the ruble was depreciating wildly.
However, his fear was not entirely unfounded, because the eyes of these Northern Russians at the door were all focused on his small trailer.
Of course, this gaze is not the gaze of any illegal means, but the things on this trailer are the most scarce and desired by everyone.
This small trailer is not jewelry, diamonds, or luxury goods such as famous wines and paintings, but just some of the simplest and most common clothes, shoes and daily necessities, but these are what all Northern Russians want the most. It is ironic to say that in the past, the Soviet Union was a great power on a par with the United States, but now it has been reduced to the point where even the simplest daily necessities have become a luxury.
But no matter what the situation was, when this Northern Russian said this, it immediately ignited the enthusiasm of all Northern Russians, and when these Northern Russians howled, they immediately rushed into the Cherv market.
At this time, the Chinese on the stage looked at the situation below, silently turned off the horn in their hands and said: "As long as it passes today, the Cherv market will be the most influential market in North Russia, not only today, but also in the future." ”
The North Russian beauty next to her nodded firmly, the reason why she believed so much was because the Chinese man's name was Zhou Ming.
