The next day, Zhao Zhuo began to follow the contact information given by Yalikov, preparing to talk to a few camera dealers.

He had just gone out, and when he passed by a street corner, Zhao Zhuo suddenly unexpectedly found a photo studio.

Looking at the deserted appearance of the photo studio, Zhao Zhuo suddenly had a bold idea.

"Anyone?"

Zhao Zhuo walked into the photo studio, but found that it was empty, and couldn't help asking.

"Someone, someone! Are you going to take a picture? ”

A bald old man came out of the back of the hall and asked earnestly.

Zhao Zhuo shook his head:

"I don't take pictures, I just want to talk to you about something."

Hearing this, the old man suddenly looked disappointed.

"There's nothing to talk about without taking pictures."

The old man waved his hand impatiently and said.

Seeing the old man's attitude change so quickly, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little helpless, so he had to take out a piece of change.

"Paid chat, it's okay."

Zhao Zhuo said lightly.

When the old man saw the money, his face immediately turned happy.

"Yes, what do you want to ask?"

The old man hurriedly put away the money and asked.

Looking at the dignified owner of a photo studio, so excited because of a piece of change, Zhao Zhuo was a little surprised for a while, he didn't expect to be so down.

"How's business going in your shop?"

Zhao Zhuo asked casually.

The old man's face darkened when he heard this:

"Hey, it's been a day today, and there is not even a person. I'm not exaggerating to say that you were the first guest to come to your door. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo had a bottom in his heart.

"Why is there no one?"

Zhao Zhuo asked knowingly.

Sure enough, hearing this, the old man glanced at Zhao Zhuo like a fool, and then said:

"Now we Soviets are almost out of food, where is the money to take pictures?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo nodded and asked rhetorically:

"Then why do you still have this photo studio?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't considered what Zhao Zhuo said.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhuo continued:

"Since you're wasting your time here, you might as well find a job where you can make some money.

No matter how much you earn, it's better than not having anything at all, right? ”

The old man thought about it, and his eyes lit up, and he realized that it seemed to be true.

But soon, the old man returned to a helpless look:

"The problem is that even if I do something, I don't have the capital!"

Zhao Zhuo was waiting for his words.

I saw Zhao Zhuo first nod in agreement, and then pretended to say casually:

"Indeed, it would be nice to be able to sell something."

The old man thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said helplessly:

"In my photo studio, the most valuable ones are those two cameras, and the others are not worth anything at all."

"Then sell the two cameras."

Zhao Zhuo said as he said the old man's words.

Who knew that the old man pouted:

"Hey, I can't sell my new camera, so how can anyone buy my old camera?"

When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he knew that it was his turn to act.

I saw Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"It's true that there is no market for old cameras."

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo then said slowly:

"But... If your camera is still well preserved, I can buy it. ”

Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up:

"What? Do you want to buy? ”

"Well, I'm usually more into photography, and if the camera is in good condition, I can really consider it."

Zhao Zhuo said with an indifferent attitude.

And it was this sentence that made the old man excited all of a sudden.

"Both of my cameras are in very good condition! Wait a minute, I'll show you! ”

Saying that, the old man didn't wait for Zhao Zhuo to respond, so he ran to the back room and brought the two cameras to Zhao Zhuo.

Zhao Zhuo carefully checked the two cameras, and there was indeed no problem.

Except that the condition is not as good as new, everything else is normal.

After all, the camera in the photo studio needs to be used at all times, and there will be basically no problems.

"Well, both cameras are good, right? I usually take care of it very carefully, so I can say that there are no bumps at all. ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"It does look pretty good. But the question is... How much do you want to sell? ”

The old man thought for a moment, and then said:

"Now our currency is not sure when it will depreciate, and it is unreliable.

If you can, it's best to exchange it for supplies. ”

Now the markets in the Soviet Union have long been paralyzed, and all the main necessities of life rely on the black market trade.

On the black market, Soviet currency was not recognized at all, only real goods or gold.

When Zhao Zhuo heard this, he was even more overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent:

"And what do you want to exchange it for? I didn't come to the USSR with much, and I really don't necessarily meet your needs. ”

Hearing this, the old man said:

"It's better to have food, and it's better to have it that lasts a long time, like canned food or compressed food."

Hearing the old man's words, Zhao Zhuo frowned:

"When I came to the Soviet Union, I didn't bring much food. You know, your prices are so expensive now, and I want to keep my own food if I have it. ”

Zhao Zhuo said helplessly.

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but be a little depressed:

"Then it seems that there is no way, and it is useless for you to give me anything else."

Seeing that he was finally able to sell the camera, there was another accident when it came to the end, and the old man was also very helpless.

At this moment, Zhao Zhuo suddenly slapped his head and pretended to have an idea:

"I have a solution."

"Oh, what a way, you say it quickly!"

The old man asked impatiently.

"That's right, I'm a native of Fengtian, Huaxia, and you should know that it's very close to your country."

The old man nodded when he heard this, that is, he knew.

So Zhao Zhuo continued:

"It just so happens that there is a canning factory next to my house that specializes in all kinds of canned vegetables.

If you can find enough used cameras, then I can consider getting a batch of cans and we'll exchange them.

After all, you know, if it were just your two cameras, I wouldn't have to do that. ”

Hearing this, the old man suddenly came to his senses:

"That's a good idea! If you're just looking for a second-hand camera, I've got too much! I dare say that all the owners of photo studios in Moscow are trying to sell their cameras! ”

The old man patted his chest and reassured.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo was overjoyed, but on the surface, he pretended to be skeptical:

"Are you sure you can contact enough photo studios?"

"I'm sure!"

The old man was afraid that Zhao Zhuo would not believe it, so he nodded heavily, and then continued:

"We all have a common guild in these photo studios. Through the guild, all photo studio owners can be contacted. ”
