"It's up to you, but you have to wait for me here, I'll go over and talk to Natasha and come back!" Su Renfeng asked.

Jia Lei nodded and stood aside, he watched Su Renfeng take out two small notebooks and open them to the soldiers at the gates on both sides, and the formalities passed, he didn't line up and was not searched.

Jia Lei looked at the back of Uncle Su walking with a slight limp, but this is the respect that Uncle Su has earned with ten years of youth and sweat, and he has also put a leg on this place.

＊＊

"Uncle cousin, can you let me see what a passport looks like?" Jia Lei asked curiously, and Su Renfeng directly threw two small notebooks to him.

"What's going on, what's going on, how does it say that you are an international student in your passport? Didn't you go to the army after graduating from junior high school? When did you become an international student?" Jia Lei asked with wide eyes.

"I paid for it, and I can't leave the border trade zone! If I want to make a lot of money, I have to sell the goods to Moshiko, which is now messed up, and Tonatasha helped me get a name for a school in the middle of nowhere. Just give the school 1,000 catties of white flour a year!" Su Renfeng said.

"Ding!" Jia Lei's eyes suddenly lit up.

＊＊＊＊

"There are so many foreigners!" Jia Lei looked at the crowd in front of him and said, it was the first time he had seen so many foreigners gather together when he was so big.

In a matter of ten square kilometers, countless border residents and traders from these two countries gathered, and there were one small stall after another on the ground, and there were many itinerant vendors with large bags shuttling through it. Jia Lei's eyes only looked at the original Soviet goods on both sides, and he relied on Su Renfeng to pull forward.

Su Renfeng also knew a lot of people with his sharp eyes, and after asking a few acquaintances, he quickly found Ah Fei and them.

"OK!OK!" At this time, Hong Chen was sitting on business with an old Maozi, and the old Maozi fell in love with the leather jacket he was wearing and wanted to exchange his own things. His stall was full of small items such as binoculars, Swiss army knives, electric shavers, sunglasses, lighters, etc., Hong Chen was pulled by Lao Maozi and said that inexplicably, he used his fur coat to exchange five Swiss army knives and five binoculars with him, and even a razor and a dozen windproof lighters. Ah Fei and each of them got something, and they were quite happy.

When the other foreigners saw this, they immediately surrounded a few people, and they all wanted to take something and change their leather jackets with Ah Fei.

"No! no!" Seeing all this, Su Renfeng hurriedly ran over to stop Ah Fei from trading, and then drove a few old hairy people away in Russian.

"You want to trade here, hats can be exchanged for things, gloves can also be exchanged for things, and if you can't buy them with money, you can't use the fur coats on your bodies! You southerners don't know that the winter in the Northeast is terrible, and if you don't have a fur coat to keep you warm from the wind, you will get frostbite in less than 20 minutes, and if you are numb for a long time, you will accidentally die and have your limbs amputated. In this case, unless you keep running!, it's a death. Su Renfeng said.

Then he immediately dragged Hong Chen to a Chinese boss's stall and bought Hong Chen a military coat, the green cotton coat and leather jacket were much uglier than the Soviet Union, and only the poor in the Soviet Union would buy it. Hong Chen calmed down from the transaction just now when he put the military coat on his body, he was frightened by Su Renfeng's words and broke out in a cold sweat and sneezed twice! He originally planned to just hold on like this for a while, and then go to the mall to buy a new dress after he went back, if he really did this, he didn't know what would freeze off.

"I'm taking pain relief tablets here, you can eat a piece of the provincial cold later. Jia Lei lowered his head and said as he turned over the waist bag on his waist.

"Yes, yes!" Jia Lei was suddenly dragged back and almost fell to the ground, he looked back and saw a little blonde white girl pulling the big bear head on his back and pulling it back, Jia Lei hurriedly put his hand back and hugged the lower half of the big bear and didn't let go.

There's more than 70,000 and 80,000 yuan here!

So the people around you saw you, a little Chinese Zhengtai and a little white angel, and then hugged a teddy bear and then tug-of-war. Jia Lei never let go, and the little girl was angry and cried.

"How much did I buy this toy!" said two well-dressed young couples in Russian.

Su Renfeng translated their words to Jia Lei, and Jia Lei immediately shook his head and refused. Seeing Jia Lei like this, the woman immediately took out a large handful of rubles from her bag and put it in front of Jia Lei without hesitation.

"I'm willing to buy this toy for a hundred rubles. The woman said to Su Renfeng, Su Renfeng thought about it for a while and decided to ask Jia Lei what he meant.

"They are willing to pay 100 rubles to buy this toy, you may not know that the official exchange rate of the ruble is 1 US dollar to 0.6 rubles, 100 rubles can be exchanged for more than 800 yuan, I think this toy can be sold to them if it has no special significance. Su Renfeng persuaded Jia Lei, but Jia Lei still shook his head firmly, and the little girl next to him cried even more fiercely when she saw him shaking her head.

"Two hundred rubles!" the woman looked at her daughter distressedly, and immediately doubled the price.

"They're now willing to pay 1,600 yuan for the toy. Su Renfeng translated.

Jia Lei had no choice but to pull him down, let him bow his head, and whispered to him about the money in the big bear doll.

Su Renfeng's face changed immediately, he hurriedly talked to the other party in Russian, saying that this toy is for sale and has a special meaning for Jia Lei, so that their children quickly let go, but the other party relied on his money and increased the price several times, but Su Renfeng didn't even bother to translate this time. Finally, the other party saw that Jia Lei was not deliberately raising the price, so he went over to persuade the little girl to let go.

Jia Lei palpitated and turned the bear in front of him in a different direction before relieving himself, he now had a head full of questions to ask.

"How can the exchange rate of the ruble against the US dollar be so high? I remember hearing others say that it doesn't seem to be high!" Jia Lei asked casually.

"The price you said should be the black market price of the private exchange rate, and some black market prices are indeed higher than the official price. One dollar can be exchanged for 0.7 to 0.8 rubles, isn't this the recent chaos in the Soviet Union! The exchange rate has also fluctuated. Su Renfeng said.

For the first time in his life, Jia Lei knew that the ruble was still worth more than the dollar!

"I still have a question, why would they pay so much money for this toy?" Jia Lei asked.

"Look at everything that sells in this market, but do you look carefully to see if there is a store that sells toys!" Su Renfeng asked, Jia Lei and Ah Fei

They looked around, and there really wasn't a single stall selling toys.

"The Soviet Union is now in short supply of light industrial products, even clothes and gloves, how can there be surplus raw materials to produce toys. But for most people, food and clothing are the most important thing, and not many people buy toys. Su Renfeng said.

When Jia Lei heard him say this, he hugged the bear tighter, and there was more than one foreigner family who took their children to the border trade zone to shop.

＊＊＊＊

Jia Lei couldn't help but stop when he passed by a foreigner's stall, the things on this stall were different from other places, and his things were more delicate and exquisite. Jia Lei found a 1941 version of a zippo lighter that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, so he picked up a lot of binoculars at his stall, and the lighter was also sandwiched in the Swiss Army knife, sunglasses and cameras and other things that boys liked.

The stall owner refused Jia Lei's behavior of paying the bill in RMB, Jia Lei silently thought for a while, took out something from his bag and handed it over, and the stall owner immediately happily took it.

"What's the difference!" The stall owner directly opened the bottle cap and took a sip of the second pot, saying happily.

"What is the meaning of less!" Su Renfeng explained to Jia Lei, and Jia Lei was not surprised by the stall owner's reaction at all.

In later generations, everyone had only two impressions of Maozi's family, one was a big white bear, and the other was a ubiquitous wine bottle, Maozi liked to drink, and it was known to people almost all over the world.

Su Renfeng asked the other party what price Jia Lei picked up, and Lao Maozi stretched out four fingers. Su Renfeng shook his head and put the lighter and saber picked by Jia Lei together and compared them with one finger, and put other things together and compared them with two fingers.

The foreigner nodded and shook his head, and he picked up the camera with his hand and compared two fingers. Now there is no need for Su Renfeng to translate Jia Lei also knows what foreigners mean, the camera is quite expensive, and it costs two bottles of wine just like this. Jia Lei really felt that he had taken advantage of the two bottles of Erguotou for a camera, and hurriedly took out four more bottles of Erguotou and handed them over.

"Hala Shao!" The stall owner happily gave Jia Lei a thumbs up, only to see him put the wine in his coat pocket and turn it around in the loaded box, and then Jia Lei got two films as gifts.

After this successful transaction, Jia Lei immediately came to his senses, and he began to wander around to find treasures. The hard work paid off, Jia Lei really found a big baby-

"Uncle Cousin, please help me ask how much this part costs?" Jia Lei asked excitedly holding an oil-stained metal part, he was now standing in front of a metal scrap recycling heap, holding a part about the size of his fist that was removed from an instrument that he didn't know from.

"What are you buying this thing for? This thing can't be eaten, it can't be used, and it's dead. Little Jew asked.

"This thing can be used to make a ring necklace or something, it's worth a lot! I'm going to keep it for my wife in the future." Jia Lei said with a smile.

"This thing is miserable and white, what's so beautiful, it's about the same color as Bai Gang. Who would hang a stainless steel chain around his neck, it's not silver. Hua Kai said disdainfully.

"How can silver be compared to him, this is platinum! Platinum! See clearly!" Jia Lei pointed to one of the model logos on the part to show everyone, but everyone did not react to the word platinum at all.

Only Dasha stupidly believed Jia Lei's words and asked the boss to find the same parts for himself, this is a rare metal parts, the stall owner has no choice but to run to a few peers nearby to find one for him, no, no!

Dasha has already grabbed his collar and shook it several times!

"What platinum is not platinum, you admit it wrong! This is white gold, and you don't accept anything that is broken. This thing is not usually used in the local area, no one buys or sells it, but this thing is too rare! I don't see one or two all year round, and it is said that this thing is only used when the instrument factory produces parts. "Su Renfeng said, this thing is really not collected!

At that time, no one in China disliked the color of this thing, and no one used it to sit on jewelry, and later Maggie Cheung endorsed foreign brands and changed its platinum name to become popular.

Oh! Maggie Cheung's influence at that time was greater than Zhang Ziyi's, and she was a real international superstar.

PS: Don't spray this paragraph, and don't think it's too fake and unrealistic. In fact, this is an improved version of the stupid author's personal experience weakened, and the stupid author's experience is much more than the protagonist's.

One night, my father secretly hugged the stupid author and I ran to a cave in a ravine near my house to quietly trade a batch of platinum with someone, why do you remember it so clearly?

Do you think that a little child was suddenly carried into the mountains in the middle of the night, especially when he encountered two cemeteries on the way, can you not remember it?

Dad talked to people about things, stupid authors secretly ran over to touch the gold mountain to play, for the stupid author at that time, it was a real gold mountain!

Now in retrospect, I feel a little exaggerated, maybe the stupid author was too small at the time, and the platinum pile to his chest was seen as a mountain, and the platinum was not fun to watch for a long time, and the stupid author began to play with the stamp of the platinum logo, so I had the impression that I only knew that it was the pinyin alphabet.

Later, the stupid author heard his father and mother say that the platinum was wanted by the instrument factory, and he ignored it when it was used to make special parts, after all, his father poured too many metals back then, and it was directly connected with many steel factories, as well as other things.

When I was a child, my father was away from home all the year round, and every time I went out for months

Because platinum is too beautiful and too scary in the mountains, I have always remembered, and then I don't know when platinum jewelry suddenly became popular abroad, and began to advertise every day on TV, I happened to hear that platinum is platinum and regretted not to want it, when I was a little bigger or a little bit of debt to secretly hide a platinum brick is not a fortune now.

Of course, the stupid author must not have been able to hold the gold brick when he was so small, and I didn't move it up after a lot of effort when I was playing.

I later asked my dad why he didn't leave a piece in the first place, otherwise he would have made a fortune now, and my dad said that the business was sold by the ton back then, and if there was one less piece, it would not be a ton, and there would be no way to sell it! Besides, platinum was just a precious metal back then, who would have thought that ten years later it would become jewelry.

I forgot to mention that the stupid author's father was a waste dumper, all kinds of metal scrap!

It's all kinds of metal scrap!
