Due to the economic depression in the Soviet Union in recent years, there is a shortage of goods in the market, and although the official exchange rate of the ruble has not changed, it has been depreciating in essence.

In this port city, there are also such places, here, there are all kinds of stalls, from antiques, small wooden maids, tea sets, decorative utensils and other handicrafts to all kinds of daily necessities, to those majestic all kinds of Soviet military uniforms, police uniforms, are also placed on the stalls for sale. Coats, caps, belts, badges, medals, etc. are all available.

"The Soviet Union is not as good as before, and many soldiers who participated in the Great Patriotic War can no longer meet their living needs with the little retirement money, so they have to take out the military uniforms and medals that accompanied their military career in exchange for a little living expenses. However, this kind of place is not as good as those state-run stores, and there is also a possibility of fakes. Luo Jin said as he walked, "Don't look at the people who sell goods here, but sometimes there are our people behind them, making some fake things and letting them take them out and sell their property." It is used to attract those guests who come to our country for tourism. ”

"dollar?" said a young Soviet man who jumped out of the way and stopped in front of the three of them.

"This is the Soviet Union who speculated on foreign currency!" Rozin waved his hand impatiently at him, "No, no." ”

"Han friends, don't you want this. The young man said in a strange Chinese language, "If you don't have a dollar, you must have a guide." Fang Mingyuan and the three of them couldn't help laughing.

"You pay a hundred roubles and you get a guide who is familiar with the market. Whatever you want to buy, I can help you. The young man patted his chest and said, "It will definitely make you feel that it is worth the money!"

"One hundred rubles! too high!" Luo Jin shook his head and said, "Thirty rubles!" Since this young man's Chinese is quite harmonious, and he actually knows that it is worth the money, Luo Jin will not have to bother to speak Russian, and he will have to translate for Fang Mingyuan and them.

"No, no, no, that price is only for ordinary Han friends, like a few such big bosses, thirty rubles, it's too shameless to say it!" said the young man, shaking his head.

"Big boss, why do you think we look like big bosses?" Wu Wei said amusedly. In this foreign country, it was interesting for him to meet a foreigner who could communicate with him in his native language.

"In the words of you Han people, it's called ......," the young man stammered for a long time before he said, "Temperament, yes, yes, that's the pronunciation, temperament! When you look at the three, you have a different temperament from other people! It's not like an ordinary person!"

Fang Mingyuan and the three of them couldn't help but daxiao, a foreigner and a Chinese talking about temperament, it was also interesting to think about it.

The young man laughed and said, "The three bosses are here to buy something? ”

"Do you have any military vehicles?" Wu Wei asked deliberately, "I think the off-road vehicles in your army are good, can you get them?"

The young man looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "As long as you can afford the money and are not afraid of accidents in your country, I can send the car you want to the designated place opposite." ”

Wu Wei was slightly moved, he didn't expect that a little man who bought foreign currency in such a place would have such a big breath.

"What's your name?" asked Fang Mingyuan.

"Khodokowsky?" said the young man, speaking in Russian, and then in Chinese, "My Chinese name is Hoko!"

"I don't think you should be called Hoko, you should be called a scourge!" Wu Wei said. The army dares to resell materials, isn't it a scourge?

"Khodorkovsky, well, this is your reward!" Fang Mingyuan casually stuffed him with a banknote and said, "If the service place satisfies us, there will be a reward!"

Khodorkovsky opened the bill in his hand and glanced at it, and immediately smiled, a brand new ten-dollar bill. He immediately slipped the money into his trouser pocket, and his expression was a little more respectful. This is a big fish, temperament or something, originally he just said that, but every time the Chinese hear it, they will be very happy. But no one has been so generous as this young man. Ten dollars, that's not a street full of rubles!

"What do the three bosses want to see? It's a military vehicle, and I promise to get it for the three of them!" said Khodorkovsky, who had received the money, patting his chest.

"Take us to see the medals you sell here. Fang Mingyuan waved his hand.

In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, the former Soviet Union could be called the country with the most complete types and the largest number of shijie medals. There are the "Heroes of the Soviet Union" and "Victorious" medals for commanders and fighters who have made great achievements in the war, the "Red Banner of Labor" and the gold medal "Sickle and Axe" for socialist workers who have distinguished themselves in their work, and even the "Heroic Mother" medal for Soviet women who have had many children.

And after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Order of the Soviet Union, which was one of the symbols of that era, seemed to become worthless overnight. However, in the antique market of China and Shijie countries, these beautifully made Soviet medals with rich historical meanings have become the favorite collection of many collectors. In general, the price of a medal depends on several factors: the time of award, the number of medals, the identity of the owner of the medal, and the reason for awarding the medal. The curiosity about the Soviet medal became something that Fang Mingyuan never forgot when he came to the Far East this time. Anyway, as long as you buy the real thing, even if you spend more money, you can't lose the deal. Fang Mingyuan remembered that in his previous life, the British side had auctioned several Soviet medals, all of which started at more than 10,000 pounds. So as long as you take it out, it's a million profits. And if you don't sell it, it's also a rare wealth to collect it yourself.

"Brother Fang!" Luo Jin's face changed slightly, and the two of them walked a few steps to the side, "According to the laws of the Soviet Union, some medals are not allowed to be taken out of the country, and when you pass through customs, it will be trouble." ”

"Brother Luo, can't you take it with your ability?" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically.

Luo Jin said with some embarrassment: "The risk is a bit big! And I am afraid that people will secretly make it bad." "Although he said that when he entered and exited the port, most of the time he was exempt from inspection, and sometimes, Luo Jin would also secretly hide some things and bring them back to China, but they were all discovered, and it was not a big deal, and the most tax payment was paid. Perhaps many foreign tourists know that Russian oil paintings must go through exit procedures, but few people know about the legal provisions on medals. In the face of a dazzling array of medals and medals, foreign tourists simply do not know which of them can leave the country and which ones are forbidden. If you are found by customs, you may be prosecuted.

Moreover, Luo Jin is more worried that in recent years, in the Sino-Soviet border ports, there are often people who sell some precious and valuable things to Chinese tourists, and then the customs officers will detain these things when they pass through the customs, and then extort large amounts of property from the Chinese in the name of prosecution. It hadn't happened on the Tiger River, but he had heard of several other ports. Although there are people in Luo Jin's customs here, but when this kind of thing happens, whether he can cover it or not, he has no bottom in his heart.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a while and said: "That's okay, didn't this Huo Ke say that he can even send a military vehicle over, hehe, money can make ghosts grind, isn't this a foreign devil." ”

"Can you trust him?" Rozin pouted, "Old Maozi, cunning and cunning. Moreover, when there is a bargain to be taken advantage of, we will never give up the opportunity to rob by fire! Calculate how many good things and how much territory our country let them rob by fire in the past! Not to mention anything else, the land under our feet was originally our country in the Qing Dynasty. Brother, don't look at me doing business in the Soviet Union, but I can tell you, I don't have a good impression of Lao Maozi and Little Japan, and people in these two countries didn't do anything good in the Northeast!"

Fang Mingyuan nodded sympathetically, although he didn't have a good impression of Japan, he also didn't have a good impression of the Soviet Union and even later Russia.

Tsarist Russia at that time, from the Qing Dynasty, occupied a large amount of land in the northeast and northwest of China by means of annexation. It also included the Northeast in its Shili range, and the Russo-Japanese War was fought on the territory of China. Later, although the Soviet Union said that it gave China a certain amount of assistance, the separation of Outer Mongolia from China was caused by the Soviet Union. Moreover, when the Soviet army entered the Northeast to expel the Japanese army, it relocated a large number of Japanese factories, machinery, and property in the Northeast to their home countries. That's why Fang Mingyuan has to rack his brains to change tricks, to make money from these two countries, no matter how much he makes, no matter what means he uses, he will not feel guilty. And there is only a thrill of revenge.

"Brother Luo, these are all later words, let's go and see first, if there is anything valuable, let's find a way. Fang Mingyuan patted Luo Jin's shoulder, feeling a little more good for him.

In the following time, when the three of them, Chen Zhong and other three bodyguards followed Khodorkovsky around the market, they found that this Khodorkovsky had many acquaintances in this market, and from time to time someone would greet him affectionately.

A few people walked all the way to the edge of the market before stopping in front of a stall. Khodorkovsky greeted the stall owner affectionately: "Hey, Uncle Nakhimov, I have brought you a big customer, take out your treasures." ”
