Many things in China are in line with the Soviet Union.

Everyone in China knows that there are similar stores in the Soviet Union, which are called Берёзка in Russian, meaning "little white birch".

It only accepts hard currency such as US dollar, pound, and West Demark, which is exclusively for foreign exchange consumption and for the upper class of the Soviet Union. Marlboro cigarettes, high-end cosmetics, high-end dresses, French wines, and Japanese electronic products, everything is available.

Similarly, there are also a wide range of daily necessities in short supply of state-owned stores.

The Soviet Union also lacked foreign exchange!

After Ge Map took office, Xiao Baihua was just banned this year, but there are still foreign-related stores.

Da Yiwan, who was always very angry at work, suddenly became active and immediately pulled a few people to a foreign-related store. At the door, there were many people of all kinds gathered. When they got out of the car, they flocked to it.

"Hi! Sir, are you Japanese?"

A young and beautiful girl rushed in front and said in English: "Are you here for a trip? Or are you talking about business? I'm very familiar with this place."

Seeing that several people were dissatisfied, she simply went straight to the point: "Sir! How about I stay with you for one night? It only costs $150!"

“…”

Luo Wenxian paused, looked at the beautiful girl and asked, "Why is it $150!"

"Because the imported recorder inside costs $150, I think it's crazy! I'll make you very comfortable, and if you're generous, I'd also like to buy a rock record!"

"Get out!"

"You guys who sell your body and earn pleasure!"

Suddenly an old voice came in, but an old man passing by didn't like it and cursed: "Look at what you look like? The bourgeoisie has corrupted your soul! You have lost your faith!"

"Old antique!"

The girl was distracted from being disturbed and spat and dodged.

Immediately afterwards, a few people wanted to rush up and shouted "foreign exchange", "fair trading", "don't believe the official" and so on - the current official 1 USD ≈ 6-9 rubles, and the black market 1 USD ≈ 3-10 rubles.

Luo Wenxian and his friends walked into the store quickly, and when the door closed, it suddenly became quiet.

It seems to isolate two worlds.

"Ivan, my friend! I've been troubled by you a lot these days. If you don't mind, you can pick something you like, even if it's a testimony of our friendship!"

Luo Wenxiandao.

Ivan looked at him and suddenly laughed: "I have been doing this job for a long time, but what you said is the most impressive. I can listen to what trouble you have encountered first."

"It's just a small matter. We have limited time and want to meet the head of the Electronic Equipment Federation as soon as possible."

“…”

Ivan thought for a moment and said, "$200!"

"make a deal!"

"It's so refreshing!"

Ivan was not polite and smiled at the salesperson, saying, "My Chinese friend is very generous. Today I have a quota of 200 US dollars!"

The salesperson shrugged and didn't care.

Ivan went to pick up the goods and bought some milk powder, food and wine. Luo Wenxian and others came and went around casually. In addition to the goods from capitalist countries, there were also souvenirs produced by the Soviet Union themselves.

The prices are very expensive.

Luo Wenxian was walking around, and Ivan had already done it, so he came to help: "Moscow's hard currency is cigarettes and wine. You can buy a few bottles of the highest-end wine, and buy all the remaining ones. This thing will save you a lot of trouble!"

"Oh, thank you for your comment!"

Luo Wenxian was doing good deeds. Before he could even discuss things, he made a bunch of bribery things first.

Ivan is specialized in business reception, and he is doing this job, so he will find the right way soon. Otherwise, with that bureaucratic atmosphere, he will not know whether he can talk about it.

…………

The next day, several people met the head of the Federation, named Yevgeny Berikov, who was quite old and had gray hair.

There is also the inventor of Tetris, Pakitnov, who had a big bearded face. He did not receive any royalties for Tetris. The unit gave him a 286 unit as a reward and was given a large house.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he went to the United States to join Microsoft and has been engaged in game development.

"Welcome! Are you from Hong Kong?"

"To be precise, we are from China! We come on behalf of China's Oriental Company."

"oh?"

Berikov raised his eyebrows and said again: "Welcome, my Chinese friend!"

Both sides took their seats and talked about the copyright of Tetris. Luo Wenxian dug out a magazine and said, "I can't carry a game console, so I have to bring this magazine.

That British man named Stein is a liar, he deceived you.

You read this news, he resells the copyright of the game and makes a lot of money. After Pakitnov was interviewed, the media has exposed it. Now Stein is guilty and he will come to Moscow soon to talk to you about the subsequent copyright..."

Luo Wenxian did not say his demands, but instead denounced Stein.

Pakitnov had no say, and anger gradually emerged on Berikov's face.

Luo Wenxian Balabala cursed and changed the subject: "I don't know how much you sell to Stein, but we definitely come with sincerity. I want the global copyright of Tetris handheld console, $150,000 + 25 cents."

“Split it?”

"It's like every game sold, you have 25 cents of royalties, which is already very high."

It should be said or not. The Soviet Union really doesn't pay attention to copyright, and doesn't even understand royalties, otherwise it wouldn't be sold to Stein for a low price of 10,000 US dollars. Berikov hesitated and asked: "How many copies do you think you can sell this game?"

“1 million pieces of base!”

“10 million copies are not too much!”

Hiss!

10 million?

The share was $2.5 million. Pakitnov was excited when he heard this, and immediately lay down. He didn't give the money to him, so he gave it to the unit.

Berikov smiled and said, "Your statement is very tempting, but it's just your expectations. If you have confidence in yourself, you might as well give us $2.5 million."

"Stann signed a contract with you at a bargain price. I revealed his true face. We came with great sincerity, but you shouted a sky-high price. It would be too inappropriate."

"I thank you for your honesty, but business is business."

The two of them talked for a long time and couldn't reach an agreement.

Luo Wenxian simply stopped talking and said, "There is a saying in China that business and business are incompetent! The two countries have been in a bad mood for decades, and their relationship is getting better and better. Maybe they will soon return to normalization. No matter what the result is, I am willing to make friends with you.

I happened to buy a few bottles of good wine, and I mean we can have a drink at your convenience."

“…”

Berikov was silent. He had come to work in China back then. The relationship between the two sides was indeed improving. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Chinese Foreign Minister was invited to visit Moscow at the end of this year to prepare for the visit to China next year of Gomap.

"There is someone in our team who likes drinking very much. He heard that everyone here is good at drinking, and expressed his doubts and wanted to see it!" Luo Wenxian said with a smile.

Черт!
