After lunch at Roman's house at noon, Tamaz drove me back to the company in his Volga car. On the way, Tamaz said: "Before the depreciation of the ruble, I had the foresight to buy three properties in the center of Novosibirsk with all my savings, one of which was now a small building where Roman opened a restaurant, one that was sold to Roman after the collapse of the Soviet Union to open a Georgian restaurant, and the rest was rented. I have been the leader of a large state-owned enterprise for almost 20 years, and my wife has been the chief accountant of a large enterprise until she retired, and the salary is also very high, and we had a public vacation to Sochi and Crimea on the Black Sea every year, and we also traveled to many countries. When we retired, we had hundreds of thousands of rubles in our savings, which at that exchange rate was almost more than a million dollars. If I hadn't reacted in time, my wife and I would have lost all our life savings, and the hundreds of thousands of rubles would have been less than $200 now. I did not sell the forty or fifty thousand rubles of shares of the company that my wife and I received and kept it, and I did not want to give it cheaply to the Americans and the moths of those countries. You can't imagine that some of our drunkards sold 10,000 rubles of corporate stock for a box of vodka, and the biggest social problem in Russia is alcoholism, there are too many alcoholics. Peng, I'll give you a Jianyì, you must not leave too many rubles in your hands when doing business in Russia, and you must exchange the ruble for US dollars at any time, and in the current form, the ruble will continue to depreciate, and even more than ten times more depreciated. I am not optimistic about the so-called "shock therapy" at all, which can only lead to the complete collapse of Russia. ”

After listening to Tamaz's words, my heart was filled with great admiration for this wise old man, who is worthy of being the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, and has seen a lot of information and a superhuman vision. I suddenly thought of the 10 million rubles that Brother Chao left for me before leaving, although I will have to pay Lena and Katya salaries after a while, and I will have to pay the rent for the office and dormitory, but it is still early, if the current ruble exchange rate falls in this way, it will fall by a few dozen dollars after a while, which is almost a month's salary of Danya. Why doesn't Brother Chao have dollars in his hands? Why do you want to exchange the dollars you brought for rubles? I thought about it, and the only answer was that when Brother Chao registered the company, the government here required that a sum of rubles must be deposited in the bank, and now the money can be withdrawn and used, and Brother Chao took it out and handed it over to me, which should be the only reasonable explanation. Then I'd better exchange this money for dollars, more than 2,000 dollars is better than 10 million rubles. I think Lena and Katya would be happier if they paid them dollars. After making this decision, I asked Tamaz: "Uncle Tamaz, where is it convenient to exchange dollars if you change them?" Tamaz replied: "If you change US dollars, you can exchange US dollars at any bank, but there are many banks that do not have US dollars, and you can usually exchange them at the big banks in the city center, but you still need to register your passport if you have to wait in line, and sometimes there is a limit, which will be very troublesome." There are some private foreign exchange speculation at the entrance of the downtown market, and the exchange rate of the bank is about the same, there is no need to wait in line and do not need a passport, it is usually much more convenient to exchange dollars there, if the amount is very large, you can ask Roman to help. "I thought I'd go to the downtown market today to have a better look, so I asked Tamaz to drive me back to the youth apartment.

I went back to the dormitory and took a million rubles, walked for more than 20 minutes to Marx Square station and took the subway to the city center. Novosibirsk is one of the four cities in Russia with a metro, the other three are Moscow, St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod, Russia and the largest metro in the world in Moscow. The Novosibirsk metro is the third largest in Russia, built in the mid-eighties, with two red and green lines running through Novosibirsk, east, west, north and south, and the architecture of the metro station is full of Soviet style. I had to take the red line to Lenin Square and walk to the central market, five or six stops along the way, and then cross the Ob River. I was met by two patrolling policemen at the entrance of the subway station, and the policemen symbolically checked my passport and let me into the subway station. Because it's not commuting time, there aren't many passengers in the subway, and everyone is sitting quietly reading. Although the economy in Russia is sluggish, Russians, especially middle-aged people, have not reduced their enthusiasm for reading, whether it is on the subway, on the bus or in line for shopping, people will always take out a book from their bags and read quietly. I found a seat and sat down and took out a Russian book to study.

When the subway arrived at the college student station, after the door opened, three dogs that were not very large suddenly came up, and they did not see the dog chain around their necks or the owner behind them. I suddenly felt very strange, so I put down the book in my hand and looked closely at the dogs, only to see that the three dogs quietly found a place where no one was very close to the car door and lay on the ground. When the subway was about to reach the next station, one of the dogs got up and stood at the door, and when it arrived, it quickly got out of the subway and immediately got back, and then quietly lay down next to its companion, which was still the case when it arrived at the Ob River Pier station. But the Russians in the carriage seemed to turn a blind eye to the three dogs. I was very strange and kept staring at the three dogs, perhaps my attentive expression caught the attention of a middle-aged woman next to me. She put down the book she was reading, turned to the side and whispered to me, "Hello young man!" Do you think these dogs are weird? I replied, "Hello! Yes, where are they going? The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "They're going to the central market." "Ahh Are they going to buy something or are they going to exchange dollars like me? Seeing that I was surprised, the middle-aged woman asked me, "Where are you from?" I replied, "I'm from China." The middle-aged woman asked me again, "Come to school?" I nodded, and I thought it might be better for me to say that I was a student. The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are the best universities in Russia in Novosibirsk. Young people, don't you have dogs in the subway in China? "The only cities in China that have subways seem to be Beijing and Shanghai, not to mention the subway, I'm afraid it's rare to see dogs in the city, and besides, it's still this kind of dog without an owner. I had to shake my head, seeing that I shook my head, the middle-aged woman seemed to have some understanding on her face, "No wonder you think it's strange that there are dogs on the subway, I tell you, they are all stray dogs, now they go to the central market to find food, the market has a special place and a fixed time to prepare food for these stray dogs, and after they finish eating the food, they take the subway back to their own territory on the outskirts of the city." I was curious and asked, "Do they take the subway?" Do the staff at the subway station ignore them? The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "These stray dogs are very smart, they are the elves of the city, they live in the city, just like people, they will take the subway by themselves, not only can distinguish the station, but also change the subway, and also take the bus." Dogs are the kindest and most loyal friends of our human beings, and our government is very tolerant of stray dogs, not only allowing them to ride on the subway and buses, but also special laws to protect them, and harming stray dogs in Russia is punishable by jail. Maybe you've only been here for a short time and think it's strange about this, but after a long time, you'll like these cute little guys, wait a minute, I want you to see how sensible and polite they are. After speaking, the middle-aged woman took out a piece of bread from her bag and broke it, and called to the three dogs: "Children, come here." The three puppies obediently wagged their tails and came over, and ate the broken bread in the hands of the middle-aged woman in an orderly manner, but did not touch the bread that the middle-aged woman put on her lap, and after eating, the three dogs politely licked the hands of the middle-aged woman and then returned to the door of the car and lay down.

I was stunned, these stray dogs were simply sperm. Russia is a very strange place, human life seems to be worthless in Russia, all kinds of crimes and homicides are constantly reported on the TV news every day, and there will be drunkards who freeze to death at night on the roadside, but they love stray dogs. Maybe it's because there is a lot of betrayal between people here, and only dogs can be loyal.
