500 meters from Red Square, Katyusha Shopping Center---

As the largest shopping mall in Moscow, Katyusha Shopping Center is definitely a must-visit place for many foreign tourists to buy things in the Soviet Union. Of course, the so-called "tourists" and local customers here are some wealthy people, because the Katyusha shopping center is a high-end place, and according to Chekov's words, the people who can enter it to spend money are often rich people in residential villas, and the average Soviet person will not come here to shop because things are too expensive.

At first, Song Zhichao didn't understand what Chekov meant by saying that things were too expensive, but he soon understood.

In the shopping mall, Song Zhichao saw a lot of brand-name clothes in the Soviet Union, which basically hung eye-catching signs, which read: no rubles, only hard currencies such as pounds, US dollars, and francs.

It is strange that the rupee is not collected in its own country, and it seems that the rupee has depreciated too much for these Soviets, and they have completely lost confidence in it.

Song Zhichao looked at the prices of those clothes sold, and it cost four or five hundred US dollars to take out a random piece, which is converted into hundreds of thousands of rubles, which is equal to the income of many ordinary Soviet families for more than half a year, which shows that the current inflation in the Soviet Union is very serious, and the people cannot afford food and clothes at all, and this also laid the foundation for the former Mu tycoon to exchange canned food and clothes for airplanes.

In a leather clothing store called "Sheraton", Song Zhichao took a fancy to a coffee-colored leather coat, mainly because the color of this leather coat was the same as his scarf, and it was very beautiful to match.

Song Zhichao asked the little Soviet sister to take off the leather coat and said that she wanted to try it on.

The saleswoman glanced at Song Zhichao's clothes, and then went to get the leather clothes.

Next to him, Chekov whispered to Song Zhichao: "The salespeople here are very good, and you can tell at a glance whether you have money or not." Like me, she wouldn't try it on for me. ”

After a pause, Chekov said again: "But it's understandable, these lesbians are not easy, this kind of leather coat is very precious, if it is spent by some unscrupulous customers, she will lose money--- the bosses here are very stingy, the kind of miser in "Dead Souls" is even more stingy than the miser Pryushkin in "Dead Souls"!"

As she spoke, the saleswoman had already taken off the coffee-colored leather coat and handed it to Song Zhichao.

Song Zhichao tried it, and it felt like sheepskin, very soft and warm, and the most important thing was to wear it on the body, look in the mirror, and feel very stylish.

In fact, whether it is a leather coat in the 90s or a leather coat in the next 2,000 years, unlike those fashion models, the more retro the style, the more popular it is.

"Sir, you look very handsome in this dress. The waitress couldn't help but praise Song Zhichao.

This sentence is not that she is patting on the back, but from the bottom of her heart, people want clothes, Buddha wants gold, Song Zhichao is indeed very suitable for this dress, or this dress has Song Zhichao's model frame, which is even more noble and generous.

"Thank you, beautiful girl--- how much is this leather coat, I bought it. Song Zhichao didn't take off this leather coat anymore, it was gentle and comfortable, at least much stronger than his thin windbreaker.

"This leather coat is five hundred dollars, sir. The saleswoman said.

"Five hundred dollars? I'm sorry, I only have Hong Kong dollars, not US dollars. ”

"Hong Kong dollars are also acceptable, as long as they are converted at the exchange rate. The saleswoman saw that Song Zhichao was generous, but she didn't want to lose such a high-quality customer because of the damn foreign exchange exchange. You know, as long as you sell such a fur coat, you can get a commission of $10, and this $10 can help your family through this month's difficulties.

"Okay then, you calculate, how many Hong Kong dollars are needed. Song Zhichao said as he turned back to Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong and said, "Don't be a good man, one person chooses one --- his grandmother's, the boss is freezing to death, but you still show your muscles, not afraid of the cold?"

As soon as they heard this, Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong were not polite.

"I want this black one!"

"I want this gray one!"

The two of them didn't actually deliberately show off their figures, show off their muscles, and wear so thin on such a cold day, mainly because they, like Song Zhichao, came here from Hong Kong, and they didn't expect the autumn in the Soviet Union to be so cold at all.

It's cold by itself, and I'm embarrassed to say it, so I can only shake my arms and be a hero.

Seeing Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong snatching leather clothes, Song Zhichao didn't feel funny, turned his head and happened to see Chekov's envious expression, and then looked at Chekov's coat, which was worn out and had a few holes.

"Chekov, you pick one too!" Song Zhichao said.

"What?" Chekov was envious of Jin Jiu and Niu Xiong, who could have such a good boss, but he didn't expect Song Zhichao to say a cold word to him.

"I'll let you pick a leather coat too, hurry up, before I regret it. Song Zhichao took out a cigarette and said handsomely on the cigarette case.

Chekov realized that it was true, "But boss, I have already charged you a thousand yuan for the tour guide fee, how can I ......?"

"One, two, three, if you don't pick and choose when you count to ten, my promise will be invalid!"

Before Song Zhichao could finish speaking, Chekov had already pointed to the cheapest fur coat in the corner and said, "I want that! Well, thank you, dear Chinese boss!"

Song Zhichao said to the saleswoman, "Take out that fur coat too." ”

The saleswoman was already stunned, not to mention buying three pieces in one go, but also giving one to this tour guide?

Chekov she recognized, she has always been selling fake watches on Red Square, and it is estimated that she will not be able to afford a fur coat here in her life, but now......

"Chekov who walked the shit luck!" said the saleswoman.

......

Four leather coats are converted to 18,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a big expense in this era. Especially in a place like the Soviet Union, where inflation was extremely high, there were very few people who could afford this kind of leather clothing.

This can't help but make Song Zhichao more confident in this redemption plan. You know, there are also a large number of leather clothes in the exchanged clothes, according to the price code of the Soviet Union, those leather clothes that were originally regarded as garbage by Hong Kong people and mainlanders may become "treasures" when they come here.

After buying clothes and seeing that it was getting late, at the request of Song Zhichao, Chekov arranged for the three of them to live in a nearby high-end hotel with good service.

When he was about to finish eating, Song Zhichao saw Chekov sneakily leaving the hotel, and thought that Chekov had taken advantage of it, and he didn't want to work and wanted to slip away.

Niu Xiong couldn't get used to it, so he took the initiative to follow him out, wanting to teach this cunning guy a lesson.

After a while, Niu Xiong came back, didn't say anything, and buried himself in eating.

Jin Jiu asked, how is it, did you teach that flamboyant a lesson.

Only then did Niu Xiong tell Song Zhichao and Jin Jiu what had happened.

It turned out that Niu Xiong followed Chekov out of the hotel where he was staying, and saw Chekov running back to the shop that sold leather clothes.

At first, Niu Xiong thought that he had colluded with the clothes seller, and he wanted to go back to get kickbacks, but he didn't expect that Chekov took the newly bought leather clothes and wanted to return them, and he wanted to get back the money for buying leather clothes.

Of course, the saleswoman didn't want to do it, and the two argued. In the end, Chekhov asked for thirty dollars less, and the matter was settled.

Chekov took the money from the sale of the leather coat, turned around and left.

Niu Xiong was ready to follow up and get angry, how could there be such a person, the boss took pity on you and bought you leather clothes, but you returned the money.

But before the cow could get angry, Chekov went into a small road, and then bought milk and bread, and a piece of beef, and came out humming a song.

Niu Xiong immediately caught him and waved his old fist to give him a face in the face.

Chekov was also pustuated, and when he saw that it was Niu Xiong, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and then told Niu Xiong his reason for selling his leather clothes, they have many families, and they have several children, and they have nothing to eat for several days, and now the prices in the country are soaring, and the rubles in their hands cannot buy food at all. Although he likes this leather coat very much and is very grateful to Song Zhichao for his help, for him, it is the most correct choice to let his family eat, let the children eat their stomachs, and sell the leather clothes.

Looking at Chekov who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, Niu Xiong was a little soft-hearted, men, there are times when he is soft-hearted--- in the end he didn't ask for money, so he let Chekov go.

After telling this story, Niu Xiong tore a piece of bread, stuffed it into his mouth and said, "I didn't expect that there are also heroes among this old man." ”

Jin Jiu nodded.

Song Zhichao yawned and said, "The story is over, it's time to sleep--- Zhongyou, since I gave the leather coat to someone, it's his, he wants to burn, sell, and give it away, I have no opinion!"

Niu Xiong: "......"

Then he asked Jin Jiu: "Boss, what do you mean by this?"

Jin Jiu drank spicy vodka, burped and said, "It means that --- the two of us are nosy!"

Niu Xiong: "......"
