Thanks to the industrial development of the Soviet Union, the news of the depreciation of the ruble spread from Moscow to all corners of the world in one day through newspapers, magazines, and radio, and the twin cities in the Soviet Union got the news even earlier.

"Lifuyi, your brother come with me, I'm going to the bank in the city. You're going to help me drive!" said Natasha as she called Lifyi, who was waiting for work on the street.

"What if an old customer comes to me to help pick up the goods? I'd better stay here, you can call someone else to help." Lifuyi said hesitantly.

"Come with me, and I'll pay you and Livre ten roubles each. Natasha said, holding her stomach.

"This" Lifuyi was still a little hesitant.

"We don't want rubles, we want dollars! As long as you give us ten dollars each, we'll go with you." Liv said to Natasha suddenly.

"What are you going to do with Livre? We should stay here and work honestly instead of driving a pregnant woman, and you still collect money! You're still not a man?" Lifuyi said angrily, looking at his brother.

"Don't wait, brother! Don't you see that half of the shops in the border trade zone are in chaos today? Everyone is busy exchanging dollars, and few people have the heart to do business! You see, since the morning, we have only passed the threshold twice, and we have only earned a total of four rubles. However, this money can only buy the food of the previous three roubles! Not enough money for a family's bread for a day. Livre retorted.

"Clever little Livre, you are much smarter than your brother! I grant your request, and let's go. Natasha said with a smile, and then she brought all the rubles from the shop.

"Natasha, it's good that you're still here, the third master asked me to ask you, is there something wrong with your Mao Ziguo, a lot of Maozi listened to the radio at about eight o'clock this morning, and suddenly became chaotic, and then many people ran back in a panic when we didn't even do business. It is said that those hairy people are shouting that the ruble has depreciated, is it true?" Wu Niu asked as he panted and ran to Natasha's shop in the Soviet border trade zone.

Because Wu Niu's grandmother's family is Soviet, he actually has a Soviet hukou, and when he encounters this kind of thing, the third grandfather asked him to go through customs and go to the Soviet Union to inquire about the news.

"It's true! The ruble depreciated, and Feng asked me to go to the bank immediately and exchange the ruble for dollars. Natasha said.

"Let you go, how should you go like this? I'll go with you, I have something to ask you on the way." Wu Niu said, and then he got into the car.

"Katyu, bring your gun, and come with me to the bank!" Natasha said to one of her brother's company commanders, driving to the barracks near the gate.

"Natasha, what do you want a gun for?" asked Katyu.

"Protect my money. Natasha said.

"Natasha, you said that the ruble has depreciated, so has the apples sold in our village also depreciated?" Wu Niu asked uneasily, this is something that almost everyone in Gangyao Village wants to know.

Originally, the rubles sold by Apple could be exchanged for more than 3 million yuan, but now that the ruble has depreciated, it can only be exchanged for more than 2 million yuan at most. Natasha said, looking in the direction of Vladivostok.

"More than two million? Do you mean that those broken apples in the orchard in our village can be sold for more than two million yuan?" Wu Niu was frightened by this number and asked intermittently, you must know that at this time, it is rare to have a 10,000-yuan household in Huaxia, let alone a millionaire.

"Huh, don't you know? You run around the Soviet Union every day, don't you know how expensive fruits are in the Soviet Union?" asked Natasha, puzzled.

"You also know how poor my grandmother's family is, or my mother wouldn't have crossed the border to marry my father, an old man in his thirties, a few decades ago. I know that apples cost ten yuan a pound in the border trade zone, but I didn't expect that the price of apples would increase a hundred times in the Soviet Union!" Wu Niu said depressedly.

"It's not that the apples in the Soviet Union are expensive, but the apples in China are too cheap, no! To be precise, the Chinese currency is too cheap. Natasha thought for a moment and said.

"But now that the ruble has depreciated, the people in the village were still looking forward to this money to do business, so what should they do?" Wu Niu said.

"More than two million yuan is a lot, you must know that we will never make so much money in our lifetime!" said Lifuyi enviously.

"But there are more than 240 people in our village, and one person can only divide 10,000 yuan. Wu Niu said regretfully, if there are fewer people in the village, everyone will be able to share more.

"Let's wait for Jia Lei to come back, I'll go home first to get things and then go to the bank to change dollars. Natasha said.

When Natasha and the others finally came to the bank, they only saw a mess, there were countless garbage and footprints at the door of the bank, and many people were hurrying to the bank like them.

"I'm sorry for the customer, but all the dollars in our bank have been emptied. The salesman said coldly to Natasha.

"How is that possible? will the bank run out of money?" asked Lifyi in disbelief.

"It's not that we don't have money, we just don't have dollars. We are in the process of mobilizing dollars from the head office, and it is estimated that we will have them tomorrow! If you want to exchange dollars, please remember to come early tomorrow. The salesman said.

"Please come early tomorrow? I'm afraid I won't be able to change it no matter how early I get up! There are only a few foreign exchange offices in Ussuriysk, and there are countless foreign exchange points here like the capital of Mosko, so tomorrow we ordinary people will probably only be able to exchange a little, and the rest of the dollars should be exchanged by the magnates tonight! I don't want to wait for tomorrow, I have to make an appointment for foreign exchange business now. Natasha said.

"We don't offer a foreign exchange appointment service for individuals!" said the salesman impatiently.

"We are not individuals, we are a licensed foreign trade company, and according to the regulations we can make an appointment for foreign exchange business. Natasha took out her business license from her file bag and slapped it on the counter, and the salesperson had to inform her to come at eight o'clock tomorrow to exchange dollars.

"Katyu, let's go to the black market!" Natasha said as she came out of the bank.

"Tomorrow you can exchange dollars at the official exchange rate, and now it's thanks to going to the black market!" Katyu said.

"Feng said that I must exchange all the rubles in my hand for dollars today, and I must go. Natasha said.

The truck came to a stop after coming to the street with the most foreign exchange scalpers, and the Lifuyi brothers helped Natasha to walk in, there were many people who hung up license plates to exchange foreign exchange, and Natasha was familiar with finding a stall where she often exchanged foreign exchange and walked over.

"How's business today?" asked Natasha.

"Not bad! There are three times as many people today as usual. Lukin, the boss, said with three fingers up.

"How many rubles are you going to exchange today? Or are you smart! In the past, you exchanged all your earnings into US dollars in advance, but this time the exchange rate has increased in US dollars, and you have probably earned millions of rubles, right?" Lu Jin asked, because Jia Lei had asked Su Renfeng to exchange rubles for US dollars every day when he first started cooperating, so Natasha often dealt with the boss.

As soon as the boss spoke, many eyes around him looked at Natasha intentionally or unintentionally, but most of them carefully withdrew their eyes after seeing the four adult men beside him.

"What is the price of 200,000 rubles today?" asked Natasha.

"1 ruble for 16 dollars, that's the price in the neighborhood! If you're not satisfied, you can go elsewhere. Lukin said.

"We've been dealing with each other for half a year, and you're the fairest forex trader I've ever met! I don't think anyone in this market can pay more than you. I'll change!" Natasha said as she asked Lifyi to open the box in her hand and hand it over.

Lukin carefully examined the ruble and happily gave Natasha $320,000, and Natasha and Lukin said goodbye and left. Katyu gave Natasha a look and looked at the corner, and Natasha nodded knowingly.

"Come out, if you don't come out, we'll leave!" Kaqiu shouted angrily as he looked at the punctured tires, several groups of people followed them after they changed the foreign exchange just now.

Natasha was pregnant and walking slowly, and the snakes ran to the front and punctured their tires. Katyu watched the tires jump like thunder, knowing that in the USSR it was difficult to buy auto parts.

Sure enough, six men came out slowly with knives, and now Russia is fighting for independence, and the supporters of the former Soviet government and Yeltsin's supporters often clash, and the law and order in the urban area has been very bad for a while now.

Many gangsters and robbers also took advantage of the chaos to run out and fish in troubled waters to rob, and the people near the foreign exchange point were rich people who were their best targets.

"Just a few of you?" asked Katyu, looking at the visitor.

"There are more of us than you, and you have a pregnant woman with you, as long as you hand over the money obediently, we will let you go. The leader of the robbers arrogantly pointed at Natasha with a knife and said that this was a flock of fat and cumbersome fat sheep.

"We'll spare your life if the woman hands over the money?" shouted the tallest robber.

"Impossible!" Natasha said coldly, not even a look of fear on her face.

"Huh, aren't you afraid at all?" The leader of the robbers realized that the people on the other side were all surprisingly calm.

"Kaqiu quickly cleaned them up, I was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest. Natasha said.

"Okay. After Kaqiu finished speaking, he reached out and took out a pistol from his bosom, and without hesitation, he shot the robber leader in the leg.

"Bang!", and the other people who were secretly following all silently retreated.

"It's safe, we can go. Katyu said with a satisfied glance at a few corners near the parking lot.

"Is this the old saying about killing chickens and respecting monkeys!" Wu Niu said when he heard the footsteps leaving in the corner.

"What about our tires?" asked Livre suddenly.

"Go get me the tires replaced!" Katyu said after a moment's thought, pointing a gun at the other robbers.

"Second brother, why did we prick all four tires in the first place, we knew that we would have to change them ourselves, so we only pierced one at the beginning. The robbers said with a sad face, and the leader of the robbers used the sound of their weeping as the background sound of their labor.

Wu Niu finally waited for Jia Lei and Su Renfeng before dinner, and when he heard that Jia Lei had exchanged rubles for US dollars in advance, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was very dissatisfied with the temporary breach of the contract by the head of the regiment.

"Lao Maozi will bully us Huaxia people, and every time you pass the customs, you have to give them bribes!" Wu Niu said angrily.

"You go back and talk to the third master later, so that he can be prepared, Lao Maozi is not allowed to bring too much cash out of the customs, you go back and tell my cousin and them, and tell them to wait for me in Huanghua tonight." I'll send you back the money first!" Jia Lei said.

"Okay!" Wu Niu nodded.
