Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Chapter 13 Looking for old friends

Song Xiaogang went to the cabinet and rummaged around, found the somewhat worn Chinese newspaper, and handed it to Wang Ye.

First, I looked at the time on the cover of the first page. This Chinese newspaper was from last month, not the latest issue.

It seemed that too many people had read it, and the whole newspaper looked tattered.

But it doesn't matter, Wang Ye doesn't want to read the newspaper, he just wants to find the phone number of an old acquaintance through this newspaper!

Turn directly to the last few pages of advertisements and read them carefully one by one.

Advertising in this newspaper is not expensive. It seems that one article only costs five hundred rubles, which is about twenty US dollars.

And we will continue to advertise for you for a week!

It can be said to be of high quality and low price, and the price/performance ratio is very high.

Of course, the advertisement above is also very simple, just a place the size of a small tofu block 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.

What Wang Ye is looking for is a phone card seller named Liu Jun!

Here in Moscow, the phone cards used by international students and Chinese businessmen are actually the same IP phone cards that were commonly used in China before.

Because you need to contact the country and need to make frequent calls, you can't just make international long distance calls directly. The cost will be too high!

So someone has come up with this kind of IP phone card, which is used for dedicated domestic calls. The cost is relatively low, and it is very popular with international students and Chinese businessmen.

This kind of phone card is divided into denominations ranging from 20 US dollars, 50 US dollars, and 100 US dollars.

Of course, there are also higher value ones, but only businessmen will buy them, so students naturally don’t need to make so many phone calls.

…………

In the advertising area, there were many people selling phone cards, but unfortunately, Wang Ye searched for a long time but could not find Liu Jun.

In fact, in his previous life, after he went to school for a while, he found that every time he and his classmates bought phone cards, they had to ask those classmates who worked in the big market to help them. On a whim, he randomly found a Chinese newspaper. , contacted the phone card seller above, and that person happened to be Liu Jun.

Originally, this kind of advertising and selling cards could be delivered to your door, but the premise was that you had to buy as much as possible!

If you buy a twenty-fifty-dollar card, they will definitely not be willing to send it to you. Moscow is such a big place and it will take a long time to go there.

Unless you buy a card that costs several hundred dollars, they will deliver it to your door.

Every time an ordinary student buys a card, it usually costs US$20 or US$50, so they cannot enjoy this kind of door-to-door service.

But Wang Ye was different. He gritted his teeth and took out two thousand US dollars, wholesaled more than a hundred 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 and got a phone card worth 2,500 US dollars from Liu Jun.

After two or three months of selling, I sold out all the cards, making a total profit of more than three hundred dollars.

Because in order to sell faster, he gave a lot of discounts on the price when selling the cards.

That was also the first money Wang Ye made in his life...

But this time, Wang Ye will naturally not make small fuss like in his previous life. He has greater ambitions!

It's a pity that Wang Ye read the newspaper several times and couldn't find the advertisement for "Liu Jun"...

This was normal. He remembered that Liu Jun was just selling phone cards part-time to make some extra money. Naturally, he couldn't advertise in newspapers every day.

The money earned in that way may not be enough for advertising expenses.

Let this matter go for now. Anyway, I will pay more attention to it in the future, and I am not in a hurry now.

…………

Wang Ye's purchase of a mobile phone was soon known to the students who came from the same group.

In fact, some students had originally planned to buy a mobile phone, but they had just arrived and had not had time to buy it.

As a result, Wang Ye didn't say anything and "secretly" bought it himself, which also caused "dissatisfaction" among several girls.

"Hey, Brother Ye, why did you go buy a mobile phone by yourself without calling us? I plan to buy it too. I don't care, you have to take me to buy a mobile phone with you tomorrow!"

"That's right, Wang Ye, you are wrong. We are all classmates who came here together and we need to act together. We all know that your Russian is good, but you must also consider that our Russian is not good. Tomorrow you will bring Let’s go buy mobile phones together.”

"Brother Ye, can you buy this mobile phone for three hundred dollars? It's not expensive at all. I originally thought about buying it after a while. Since it's not very expensive, I'll follow suit and buy one tomorrow."...

Several classmates crowded in Wang Ye's dormitory and shouted.

Wang Ye looked helpless. He didn't intentionally avoid his classmates to buy a mobile phone by himself.

He bought a mobile phone because he had something to do and to make money. He thought that his classmates didn't really need mobile phones for the time being, so he didn't ask everyone to come together.

It's better now, but it's his fault now...

He waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, it's my fault this time, I forgot to inform everyone. Let's do this, you come to my dormitory at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will take everyone there to buy mobile phones. It's in that big building The supermarket is not far away, so just prepare your money in advance. By the way, there are cheap and expensive mobile phones there. The cheapest one costs about three hundred dollars, and the expensive one may cost thousands of dollars. Everyone Just do what you can. I personally recommend not to buy something too expensive. As long as you can make calls on a mobile phone..."

Wang Ye is thinking about everyone.

Although he is eighteen years old now, he looks like everyone else, just a big boy who has just entered college.

But in fact, he already has more than twenty years of social experience...

Wang Ye knew that it was not easy for the parents of his classmates, including himself, to make money, so there was no need to buy those expensive mobile phones for the sake of comparison or vanity.

There is no need. Besides, the functions of mobile phones these days are actually very simple, that is, they can only make calls and send messages.

To be honest, it's essentially the same.

It’s not like twenty years later, the gap between high-end, high-end and low-end smartphones will be obvious.

But obviously, not everyone listened to Wang Ye's words, especially the girls...

The next day, when Wang Ye led a group of people to a large supermarket to buy mobile phones, the differences between boys and girls were clearly revealed.

Boys basically pursue cost-effectiveness, and most of them buy cheaper mobile phones. Nokia 3310 is the first choice.

As for the girls, without exception, they all looked down on the Nokia 3310, and instead chose more expensive and more beautiful mobile phones, almost generally costing more than 500 US dollars...
