Reborn Russia as an oligarch

Chapter 11
For the next two days, Wang Ye and everyone were busy doing various formalities.

I went to the bank to pay the renewal fees, medical insurance, accommodation fees, etc., and familiarized myself with the surrounding areas of the school.

In fact, he doesn't need it, because he is too familiar with this place!

Go out of the gate of the dormitory area and walk about 500 meters to the north along the street. There is a large supermarket. If you need to buy anything, you can just come here.

Of course, this kind of big supermarket is relatively expensive. If you want to be cheaper, you need to take the bus two stops south along the street to the subway station, where there is a big market.

Just like the domestic bazaars, they are all small traders, and the things there are cheaper.

When I first came abroad, everyone was new to everything. A few people formed a team, and under the leadership of the enthusiastic squad leader Zhou Yuan, they ran around to turn around.

Wang Ye also followed everyone, and did not show any strangeness.

However, on the afternoon of January 1th, he took time out of the dormitory to go to the big supermarket to buy something.

This highlights the advantage of his good Russian, and other students who came from the same group would not dare to go out to buy things alone.

Because of the language barrier, if something happens, it will be numb and unable to communicate with people.

…………

Go north along Mikluja Street.

It's snowing again today, or the heavy snow hasn't stopped in the past few days!

Feather-like snowflakes slowly fell from the gray sky, and the snow on the roadside had reached Wang Ye's waist.

The snow on the sidewalk was trampled and it was a little slippery to walk.

Wang Ye wrapped his down coat tightly, and wrapped his ears and face with a woolen scarf. He also wore a thick woolly cotton hat on his head, and he wore a pair of leather gloves with fur inside. He was fully armed. !
This kind of dress is also the standard "equipment" for going out here...

After all, the weather is more than minus 20 degrees, if you don't wear it like this, you can really freeze to death. It's not a joke at all.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and I occasionally encounter one, and they are basically students, and they should also be students of Youda University.

Cars are driving fast on the street, and from time to time, someone can be seen standing on the side of the road, extending a hand and giving a thumbs up.

This is driving.

There are very few taxis here in Moscow, and regular taxis can only be seen at the airport or in front of high-end hotels.

Usually when I take a taxi, everyone stands on the side of the road like this, stretches out a hand and gives a thumbs up, indicating that they need to take a taxi.

Soon there will be cars on the road stopping, the driver opens the window and asks where you want to go, and if you stop by, he will give you a ride.

Of course, it's usually not free. As for how much money you need, just negotiate directly...

………………

When I came to the entrance of the big supermarket, I rubbed the snow on the soles of my shoes on the snow removal mat at the entrance, opened the cotton curtain and walked in.

The scale of this supermarket is still quite large, and it has everything in it, but the price is a little expensive.

Wang Ye came here this time to buy a mobile phone.

It is said that he does not need a mobile phone now, and the price of mobile phones is not cheap, so he cannot afford it.

But Wang Ye has to spend this money, because his "making money plan" is about to start, and the mobile phone is a necessary work tool!

Other students may buy mobile phones to show off, or to communicate with their families.

But Wang Ye's purchase of a mobile phone is an investment, and it is used to make money!

Opposite the supermarket checkout, there is a row of shops, one of which is a mobile phone shop.

Not only sells all kinds of mobile phones, but also handles phone numbers.

Wang Ye was familiar with the road and walked straight into the store.

An aunty salesperson inside looked up at him and said nothing.

Speaking of which, this foreigner can't do business, at least his service attitude is completely unqualified. Wang Ye, who has lived here for many years, is deeply touched by this point.

Whether you are going to buy a dish, a high-end restaurant or a luxury store, the sales clerk is that virtuous, with an expression of whether you like to buy it or not.

This is not only for the foreigners like Wang Ye, but also for their own people...

Wang Ye didn't care too much, he walked into the glass counter on his own, and picked up his mobile phone.

It's easy for him to buy a mobile phone, as long as the leather is durable!

As for the price, of course, the cheaper it is, the better. Although he wanted to buy a mobile phone of seven or eight hundred or even thousands of dollars, the strength of his wallet would not allow it.

After just a few glances, Wang Ye chose the phone, the Nokia 3310!

This phone is very classic, cheap and not ugly. It doesn't have the short antenna like other phones, and it has a small round body.

Now is still the most brilliant time for Nokia, and there is no need to worry about the quality of mobile phones.

All kinds of jokes about "smashing walnuts" and "throwing mobile phones on the tenth floor" are all Nokia mobile phones!

"Please get me a mobile phone, that's all, and another phone number, just MEKAFON's." Wang Ye said to the salesman with a smile.

Auntie's salesperson got up lazily, walked over to take a look, opened the counter, and found an unopened Nokia 3310 mobile phone from below.

Obviously, this phone should be a better seller.

He took out another phone card that looked like a small envelope and said, "Fill out the form and take out the passport."

To apply for a mobile number here, you need to register your identity.

Wang Ye skillfully filled out the registration form, then took out his passport and handed it to the salesman.

………………

The Nokia 3310 is a pretty cheap phone.

Buying a mobile phone and applying for a card cost him a total of over three hundred dollars.

When Wang Ye came here this time, he brought a total of [-] US dollars with him. Because he came late and was studying in an expedited preparatory course, he did not plan to go back this summer.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the round-trip air ticket is too expensive...

When he returns to China, he will have to wait until the summer vacation next year, which is a year and a half later.

So the family brought him the preparatory tuition this year, the tuition for the next year, and the living expenses for one and a half years.

These days, it is also very troublesome to remit money from China.

Domestic foreign exchange controls and cumbersome procedures for international remittances make everyone more inclined to bring cash.

A small part of this money was exchanged at the bank with Wang Ye's visa. The official exchange rate was about [-]:[-].

But only two thousand dollars a year can be exchanged, which is not enough.

Therefore, the remaining five thousand dollars was exchanged by my father on the "black market", and the exchange rate was higher, one to ten!

The preparatory tuition fee is about [-] US dollars, and the renewal fee for the first year of the university is about [-] US dollars. This part is [-] US dollars.

The remaining three thousand dollars is Wang Ye's living expenses for the next year and a half, including the round-trip airfare to return to China next year...
