MTL - Reborn Russia As An Oligarch-Chapter 13 find old friends
Chapter 13 Finding Old Friends
Song Xiaogang went to the cabinet and rummaged around, found the somewhat worn out Chinese newspaper and handed it to Wang Ye.
First look at the time on the cover of the first page, this Chinese newspaper is still last month, not the latest issue.
seems to have been read by too many people, and the whole newspaper looks tattered.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Ye didn't want to read the newspaper, he just wanted to find the phone number of an old acquaintance through the newspaper!
Go directly to the last few pages of the advertisements and examine them carefully one by one.
It is not expensive to advertise in this newspaper, it seems that it only costs five hundred rubles, or about twenty dollars.
And it still advertises you for a week!
It can be said that the price is good and the price is very high.
Of course, the advertisement above is also very simple. It is a small tofu block size with a simple line of words on it.
If you want to sell something, or want to hire a translator, or want to apply for a job, just say it in the most concise words.
Wang Ye is looking for a person who sells calling cards, his name is Liu Jun!
In Moscow, the phone cards used by international students and Chinese businessmen are actually the same as the IP phone cards commonly used in China.
Because you have to communicate with China, you need to make frequent calls, so you can't make international calls directly, the cost is too high!
Therefore, some people have come up with this kind of IP phone card, which is used for domestic use through private lines. The cost is relatively low, and it is very popular among international students and Chinese businessmen.
This calling card is divided into 20 US dollars, 50 US dollars and 100 US dollars according to the denomination.
Of course, there are also higher denominations, but those are only bought by merchants, and students naturally don’t need to make so many phone calls.
…
There are not many people selling phone cards in the advertising area, but unfortunately, Wang Ye couldn't find Liu Jun after searching for a long time.
In fact, in a previous life, after he went to school for a while, he found that every time he and his classmates bought a phone card, they had to ask those classmates who worked in the big market to help them. On a whim, he found a Chinese newspaper. , I contacted a phone card seller above, who happened to be Liu Jun.
Originally, this kind of advertising and selling cards can be delivered to your door, but the premise is that you have to buy enough!
If you buy a $20 and $50 card, people will definitely not be willing to send it over. Moscow is so big, and it will take a long time to travel.
Unless you buy a card for a few hundred dollars, they will deliver it to your door.
Every time an ordinary student buys a card, it is usually a $20 or $50 card, so they cannot enjoy this kind of door-to-door service.
But Wang Ye was different. At that time, he took out 2,000 US dollars with one bite, wholesaled more than 100 phone cards, and acted as a "middleman" to earn the difference...
The wholesale price is definitely different from the retail price. He paid 2,000 US dollars at the time and got a phone card worth 2,500 US dollars in Liu Jun's hands.
It took two or three months to sell the card, and the card was sold out, making a total of more than 300 US dollars.
Because he gave a lot of discounts when selling cards in order to sell them faster.
That was also the first money Wang Ye had earned in his lifetime...
But this time, Wang Ye will naturally not be as petty as in the previous life, he has bigger ambitions!
Unfortunately, Wang Ye turned the newspaper several times in a row, but couldn't find any advertisement for "Liu Jun"...
This is also normal. He remembered that Liu Jun was only selling phone cards part-time to earn some extra money. Naturally, it was impossible to advertise in newspapers every day.
The money earned like that may not be enough for advertising expenses.
Put this matter down first, anyway, I will pay more attention to it later, but I am not in a hurry at this time.
…
Wang Ye's purchase of a mobile phone was soon known by the same group of students who came over.
Actually, some students had planned to buy a mobile phone, but they just arrived here and didn’t have time to buy it.
In the end, Wang Ye didn't say anything, so he "secretly" bought it first, which also caused "dissatisfaction" from several girls.
"Hey, Brother Ye, why did you buy a mobile phone by yourself, without calling us, I plan to buy it too. I don't care, you will buy a mobile phone with me tomorrow!"
"That's right, Wang Ye, you're wrong. Everyone is a classmate who came here together. We all know that your Russian is good, but you also have to take into account the fact that our Russian is not good. Tomorrow you will bring Let's go buy a mobile phone together."
"Brother Ye, can you get this phone for $300? That's not too expensive. I thought about buying it for a while. Since it's not very expensive, I'll go over and buy one tomorrow."…
Several classmates crowded in Wang Ye's dormitory and shouted.
Wang Ye's face was full of helplessness. He didn't deliberately hide from his classmates to buy a mobile phone by himself.
He bought a mobile phone because he had something to do and make money. Thinking that his classmates didn’t really need a mobile phone for the time being, he didn’t ask everyone to come together.
It's better now, but it's not his...
He waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, this time it's my fault, I forgot to inform everyone. Well, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you come to my dormitory, and I'll take you over to buy a mobile phone. The supermarket is not far away, you just need to prepare the money in advance. By the way, there are cheap and expensive mobile phones over there. The cheapest one is about three hundred dollars, and the expensive one may cost thousands of dollars. Everyone Do what you can. I personally recommend not to buy too expensive, a mobile phone is enough to be able to make calls..."
Wangye This is for everyone's consideration.
Although he is eighteen years old now, he looks like everyone else, just a big boy who just entered college.
But in fact, he has had twenty years of social experience…
Wang Ye knew that it was not easy for the parents of his classmates to make money, including himself, so there was no need to buy those expensive mobile phones for comparison or vanity.
There is no need. Besides, the functions of mobile phones these days are actually very simple, that is, just make a phone call and send a message.
To be honest, it’s almost the same in essence.
It is not twenty years later, the gap between the high, middle and low end of smartphones is obvious.
But obviously, not everyone listened to what Wang Ye said, especially those girls...
The next day Wang Ye brought a group of people to the supermarket to buy mobile phones, the difference between boys and girls was obvious.
Boys basically pursue cost-effectiveness, and most of them buy relatively cheap mobile phones, and the Nokia 3310 is the first choice.
And girls, without exception, all looked down on the Nokia 3310, but chose more expensive and more beautiful mobile phones, almost generally more than 500 US dollars...
