Chapter 342: Signs of Capitalism

Businessmen who came to Central Asian countries in the 90s either live at home on the border or work arrangement, and the other kind belongs to the fallen masters of the north and south of the world.

After the reform and opening up, China's social materials and productive forces increased rapidly, while the socialist countries of its neighbors fell into difficulties to varying degrees.

There is an extreme shortage of supplies.

Slowly formed an organization and a gang of fellow villagers.

Among them, tobacco and alcohol are the most profitable, but this can only be done by smuggling, which is all unfathomable business.

Only textiles are always the big head, high profits, large quantities of goods, smooth sales, simple operation, no shelf life, can not be sold slowly, recognize the fabric, understand some basic styles on it.

And in terms of language, it is far less complicated than imagined, Russian is originally a variant of English, in fact, I know English, learning Russian is very simple, like saying hello, English pronunciation hello, Russian pronunciation is also like this, but with the addition of a tail sound, this pronunciation reads shao, and it reads less than hello, but generally Chinese pronounces hala less.

Sister, English Sisiter, Russian just after the addition of a ly, force ending, sisiter force.

Brother, English Brother, Russian pronunciation changed the last sound er, to ya, brother亚.

The other is the change in the particle, Very, this word, in Russian pronounced Oggen, Ochinhara less, very good.

Able to speak English, two or three days of short training, at least able to understand most of the Russian.

It's okay if you don't know English, no matter who you see, a sentence of Davari (comrade) is right.

Then I will say some hala less (good) nodding, no, pronounce Nie in Russian, or just say NO, Oqin Hara less (very good), with a thumbs up, generally agree on the price.

Dallas Vijay (Hello), Knife Flute (US dollars), Rupee (rubles), Nisic (10), Dead Duo (100), a more experienced Russian 1234567, can not use fingers instead, even strokes, can settle accounts.

The line of Khorgos port, it is obvious that there are Henan people, Fan Yang saw it when he just passed through the central square, there are probably more than ten blue tent stalls, distributed on both sides of the square, there are men and women selling goods, about thirty or forty years old, some stalls also have some young people who help to shout, and pretend to have nothing to do, but in fact, there are many people watching the field, there are more than a dozen.

Don't underestimate the profits of clothing, more than a dozen stalls are enough to make a small exhibition in a certain county or township, enough for the boss behind to pull up a decent team.

After a cursory walk, there were many people gathered in front of each stall, and there were frequent transactions.

But he didn't stay long, he called the army and walked to the side of the road, lit a cigarette, Fan Yang smiled: "How about it, it's not worse than Urumqi." ”

"Pretty much. "The army has always had a bad impression of Almaty.

"It's far from it, but this group of Henan people can really do it, and the stall is placed in the central square of Almaty, and the energy is big enough. ”

"How can you be sure it's from Henan?"

Fan Yang smiled: "If you don't have any eyesight, I won't mess around, and find someone else to inquire." ”

The two of them wandered around the square, a Citibank on the right, and on the door hung the current exchange rate, which was exchanged against the currencies of various countries, the US dollar, the British pound, the franc, the tenge, and of course, the yuan.

At this time, Kazakhstan was in the same way as the policy of Erros, and the currency was so chaotic.

And next to it is a central bank of Kazakhstan, Fan Yang thought to himself that when he went to the local area, he still had to respect the local policy, so he went in and exchanged 1,000 yuan, with an exchange rate of 1 to 65, a total of 65,000 tenge, and the handling fee was quite expensive, reaching 2%, deducting 1,300, and getting 63,700 tenge.

The large bills were 1,000 yuan each, 63 thick piles, and seven hundred-yuan bills.

1,000 yuan, 65,000 for others, not to mention anything else, this thick pile is still quite satisfying.

"Let's go and test the purchasing power. ”

casually asked how much the average worker is paid?

The staff of the bank replied with four or five thousand tenge.

Seventy or eighty yuan looks.

Wages are more than half the level in China.

But Fan Yang estimated that this level was inflated.

Kazakhstan's economy has not yet recovered, and ordinary workers may be able to get thirty or forty yuan.

For investors, it's good, labor costs and rent costs are relatively cheap.

Swaggering the money in your hands and wandering around the market.

There are really a lot of Chinese in this square, in just ten minutes, I met several groups of Chinese, and the characters are also varied, the more conspicuous is a boss with a big gold chain, wearing a black trench coat, followed by four or five people carrying suitcases, pulling the wind into the bank.

Those engaged in clothing sales are only small businesses, Almaty also has wood, coal, cotton, wool, vegetables, fruits, building materials, or open a restaurant, sell some hardware tools, Europeans are just a banking invasion, after all, the road is too far, the commodity is still mainly Chinese, in short, all walks of life, there are also three or three to the market to hang out, and there are pockets to buy vegetables, leaving aside the outside refugee area, simply discussing the central area of Kazakhstan, the living atmosphere is still quite normal.

After strolling around for a while, I walked to the back of the square, and a red signboard appeared in front of me, with a yellow M logo written on it.

Fan Yang smiled, smelling the long-lost aroma of fried chicken, and also felt hungry: "Let's go, then let's also experience the rotten life of capitalism." ”

There was a long line inside, and I saw a light box sign in the distance that said a $6 set menu, a fried chicken thigh burger, a fries, a Coke, a pair of chicken wings, and a chicken leg.

Bright color printing, golden fried chicken thighs, and black cola in glass cups are very tempting in today's era of scarce prints, and with the aroma of frying, it can arouse the appetite.

The army couldn't read the $ symbol of the dollar, but still asked, "What's the matter with the six dollars?"

"That's right. ”

When you wait in line to buy a hamburger, you can also pay the bill with tenge, but the price is slightly more expensive, 2400 tenge a piece, shaking your hands, 5000 yuan is gone, add two pairs of chicken wings, and serve two large plates in your hand.

The army was quite happy just now, 1,000 for 65,000 for others: "5,000 yuan, how much is the discount for our RMB?"

"Forget it yourself, about eighty yuan. ”

"That's more expensive than Lianyungang?"

McDonald's in this era, as long as it goes out of the country, the definition is high-end food, and the price is very expensive, when they were in Lianyungang, Dajun and Fan Yang also went to eat a few times, but the price was not outrageous, and the consumption of the two was thirty or forty yuan.

But even thirty or forty yuan is not something that the working class can afford.

When you get here, flip it in half again.

A simple meal, eating 5,000 tenge, an ordinary worker's monthly salary is gone.

Fan Yang stuffed French fries into his mouth and said: "The materials here are all imported, now is the period of inflation, of course the price is expensive, and the price will come down until the economy of Kazakhstan slowly recovers, this is all related to the national strength of a country, eat such a hamburger in the United States, the same so many things, do you know how much it costs?"

"How much?"

Fan Yang pointed out his finger: "$1." ”

The army almost choked: "$1?"

"That's right, it's such an exaggeration, and the workers in the United States have a monthly salary of three or four thousand dollars, and three or four thousand tenge here, you know how big the gap is. ”

The two were chatting here, and at the next table, a voice came: "Brag, are the imperial devils so rich?"
