Chapter 666: Moscow's "Great Chinese Market"

There are several famous markets in Moscow, such as the Lotus Market, Luzhniki Market, Ljublino Market, Sadvo Market, Cherkizov Market, etc. X

Lin Cheng and his entourage went to the Cherkizov Market, known as the "Great Chinese Market", which is located in the Izmaililova Manor District in the northeastern district of Moscow, so it is also called "an ant market" by the Chinese.

According to Moscow locals, the Cherkizov market is the largest wholesale market in Europe, with nearly 100,000 stalls and more than 100,000 employees, tens of thousands of Chinese doing business in the market alone, as well as foreign businessmen from more than a dozen countries such as Vietnam, Tajikistan, Turkey, and India.

The reason why the Cherkizov market is called the big Chinese market is that the goods in this market are mainly Chinese goods, accounting for about 90%.

Covering an area of 200 hectares, the Cherkizov Market was first built in 1990 and is a large market that has gradually developed on a large vacant land.

The reason for the rise of this market is completely a product of the background of the times, in 1990 the Soviet empire has begun to show signs of disintegration, the people of the Soviet empire are not able to make a living, and the common people have money and cannot buy daily necessities.

At this time, the hard-headed and bold Chinese merchants came to Moscow with truckloads of goods, bringing a large number of daily necessities to the people of Moscow.

Originally engaged in the wholesale of Chinese goods and clothing, after seven or eight years of development, it has become the largest comprehensive market in Moscow, and its stalls have invaded the dormitories and teaching areas of the Moscow Sports University.

Coming to the Cherkizov market, Lin Cheng felt that Muscovites came out of the ground at once, and everywhere he saw were endless small shops, bustling street stalls, vendors speaking various languages, especially Chinese, and an endless stream of Moscow citizens coming from all directions, thinking that this is the atmosphere that an international metropolis should have.

Although the market was full of people and seemed to be extremely chaotic, Lin Cheng and his party looked very extraordinary, and no one dared to provoke them, but many street vendors greeted them in various languages, hoping that Lin Cheng and his party could stop and buy their goods, after all, Lin Cheng and others were big customers at a glance.

Lin Cheng casually stopped at a small shop, the owner of the shop is a compatriot who speaks Northeast dialect, the shop is full of dazzling thick leather coats, down jackets, sweaters, autumn pants, but it is very in line with the weather conditions in Moscow, after all, the winter in Moscow is half a year.

Anyway, Lin Cheng really wanted to buy some winter clothes and winter pants, he didn't expect the winter in Moscow to come so early, but when he was in Southeast Asia in October, he was often topless, wearing only a pair of beach pants.

Zhu Ziqing, Zhou Qide and other executives also did not expect the cold weather in Moscow, and the clothes they brought were not warm enough.

Everyone didn't need Lin Cheng's orders, and they carried out sweeping purchases one after another.

Lin Cheng casually pointed to a military coat and asked, "How much is this coat?"

The bosses in the Northeast give full play to the characteristics of Chinese businessmen, and the more their compatriots slaughter, the more ruthless they are.

He opened his mouth and said, "1,100 yuan, if the boss has dollars, it will be cheaper, and only charge you a hundred." ”

In Moscow, the dollar is a real hard currency, and the people of Moscow are rushing to buy the dollar, which has caused everyone to rush to the dollar, and this northeastern street vendor is obviously no exception.

Lin Cheng didn't have any bargaining, nodded and took out his wallet and was about to pay, but Liu Wenqian got out, caught the boss is a god, and then said to Lin Cheng: "You just give him 100, and the dollar is only ten yuan." ”

Damn, I've been separated from the people for too long, and I'm almost slaughtered!

Lin Cheng watched the military coat priced at 1,100 yuan shrink to a fraction of 100 yuan after Liu Wenqian's speech, and only then did he react in hindsight.

Lin Cheng had most of the dollars in his wallet, so he paid the boss of the Northeast ten dollars, the boss took it over in a hurry, and flicked it hard with his fingers, and when the dollar bill made a crisp sound, the boss picked up the bag and stuffed the military coat into it casually, and handed it to Lin Cheng.

Judging from the performance of the boss in the Northeast, this military coat can be sold for ten dollars, and it is obvious that he is also very profitable!

Liu Wenqian reminded on the side: "Muscovites are going crazy to exchange dollars, as long as he changes hands and converts them to Muscovites, ten dollars can be exchanged for rubles worth dozens of dollars."

It's just that the ruble is one price a day, but the dollar has very strong purchasing power in Moscow, and the boss usually uses dollars to buy goods, such as cars, tractors, motorcycles and other large goods, which are several times cheaper than in China when bought in dollars, and make a lot of money when they return home. ”

Lin Cheng nodded and said: "I understand, Russia's heavy industry is very developed, and there is an overproduction of heavy industrial goods such as automobiles and tractors, but the light industry that produces daily necessities is extremely lacking, so it is organically complementary to China's industrial development." ”

Then Lin Cheng turned his head to Zhu Ziqing and said: "It seems that it is necessary for Lewanjia Supermarket to enter the Russian market, Russia's daily necessities are too lacking, and if Lewanjia Supermarket enters Russia, it will definitely be very popular." ”

Liu Wenqian echoed: "It's true, the daily necessities of Moscow supermarkets are too lacking, and it is very inconvenient for us to live in Moscow. If Lewanjia supermarket can be opened near the embassy, then we can't ask for it. ”

Zhu Ziqing nodded, but then shook his head and said: "Now that Moscow's economy has collapsed, the ruble is no longer worthless, and I think the purchasing power of the people in Moscow is very problematic." ”

Lin Cheng waved his hand and said disapprenousively: "That's why I'm going to bring Lin's Bank to Moscow, they don't have enough purchasing power, so we can lend them a loan." ”

Liu Wenqian was quite supportive of this, and excitedly suggested: "If Lin Sheng only lends RMB to the people of Moscow, it will definitely make the RMB stronger in Russia, which is a great thing that can not only make money but also help the motherland!"

Lin Cheng nodded and said: "I have this intention, why can the US dollar be popular all over the world, but our RMB can only circulate in China, this is not scientific!"

Liu Wenqian was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly stretched out two thumbs up, praising Lin Cheng as a patriotic entrepreneur.

Zhu Ziqing said worriedly: "After the collapse of the Soviet Emperor, the Russian economy is getting worse and worse, if we lend them a loan, they can't afford to repay it for decades, then the Lin Bank will lose a lot?!"

Lin Cheng didn't care and said: "Don't worry, winter in Russia has arrived, will spring be far away?" Believe me, the good days of the Russian people will come soon. ”

As an oil exporter, Russia's economy has long relied on oil exports, Lin Cheng knows that starting next year, the international crude oil price will rise from ten dollars to more than 100 yuan in ten years, and the Russians at that time relied on selling oil.
