Chapter 166 Entering the Friendship Store

Friendship Store is not just a store where you can buy goods, but also carries the beautiful hope for lasting friendship between countries, and has made outstanding contributions to China's economy and foreign exchanges.

In this store, there are a wide variety of imported goods. People can buy luxury brands from all over the world here. Anything you can think of can be found here.

Of course, not everyone can enter this store. Initially, only three types of people can enter: the first type is foreigners, the second type is diplomats, and the third type is government officials.

This also made the common people regard this place as a sacred and inviolable dreamland. In that era when materials were very scarce, the dazzling array of goods there were everyone's lifelong dream and pursuit.

It was not until China entered the era of market economy that everything in the Friendship Store was unveiled to the people, who were able to enter and buy freely.

"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! The Friendship Store in Guangzhou currently has three floors. I heard that the first floor is China's first self-service shopping mall. Customers can go in and shop by simply pushing the shopping cart provided by the mall. Once they've chosen the items they want to buy, they can proceed to the checkout counter. In addition to using cash, they can also use the electronic cash register to make a one-time payment..."

When the driver Xiao Liu heard that the destination was the Friendship Store, he became more talkative, with a look of longing and worry on his face.

"What are sold on the second and third floors?" Mo Zhexuan had never been to the Friendship Store in this life or the previous one, but he had heard of the store's reputation. He only knew that the things there were ridiculously expensive.

"I'm not sure either. I heard that the second floor seems to be filled with precious seafood, famous Chinese and foreign liquors and cigarettes, precious medicinal materials, etc., and the third floor is filled with jade, pearls, antiques, jade, ancient porcelain, etc.", the driver Xiao Liu said uncertainly.

Mo Zhexuan was stunned when he heard this, and an incident suddenly came to his mind. In his previous life, he went to an auction with a friend. A foreigner bought an imperial bowl from the Qianlong period from the Friendship Store, and it was finally sold at a sky-high price of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became hot. This was undoubtedly a great plan to make a fortune. Who would complain about having too much money? In prosperous times, there are antiques; in troubled times, there is gold. This saying really makes sense.

Through some casual chatting, I gradually got to know the identity of the driver Xiao Liu. His name is Liu Yiru, a native of Guangzhou City. He served in the army for five years and fought in the battlefield of the Self-Defense War against Vietnam. He had made great achievements in the war, but because he offended a playboy in the army, he had no choice but to retire and go home, and was assigned to work as a driver.

This also made Mo Zhexuan feel interested in talent. Now that the Black Ice Platform Security Company was just starting out, it was the right time to recruit talents from all over the world. How could he let go of the elite in front of him?

It occurred to me that Wang Yalin should still be on the train! After a conversation last night, they decided to let him go home first. They would gather their retired comrades after he had reunited with his family.

"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! We're here. That's the Friendship Store." After parking the car in the parking lot, Liu Yiru pointed his right index finger at the four majestic characters written on the sign in front of the door and said quickly.

"You come in with us." After Mo Zhexuan finished speaking, he took out a stack of foreign exchange certificates from the briefcase given by the bank manager, took out ten of them and handed them over, saying:

"Take it!"

"I can't accept this!" Liu Yiru shook his head firmly. This was his principle in life: no reward without merit.

"You are my driver, it is only natural for me to pay you." Mo Zhexuan was even more optimistic about this person and couldn't wait to recruit him for his own work.

"I really can't have it. This is my duty."

"Xiao Liu! Just take it! This is the reward we give you." Li Peizhen also hurriedly persuaded.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Mo and Miss Li's kindness, but I really can't accept it." Liu Yiru's expression was full of determination.

"Okay! I won't force you anymore, just come in with us!"

"OK!"

The three of them entered the Friendship Store smoothly, and saw that the lights inside were like countless silver snakes dancing, the tiles on the floor revealed a white luster and sparkled, and the dazzling array of goods in the windows formed a colorful world.

"Brother Xuan! The products here are quite complete! They are almost comparable to supermarkets in Hong Kong. I even saw Hershey's chocolate here."

After Li Peizhen pushed the shopping cart to the food area, she was attracted by Hershey's chocolate. This was her favorite chocolate brand, and she was naturally very happy to find it here.

"Miss! We have popular brands from all over the world, such as Hershey's chocolate, Dove chocolate, cookies, Coca-Cola, Lay's potato chips, etc. We also have our own products, such as White Rabbit, maltose, canned fruit, etc."

The waiter enthusiastically introduced different kinds of imported and domestic food. He had quite a good eye. Judging from the other person's exquisite attire, he knew that he must be a VIP.

"Then take more. It will take us some time to get back to Hong Kong anyway." After Mo Zhexuan finished speaking, he started to choose from the different types of food one by one. He took two portions of almost every brand of food, especially potato chips and dried fruits, which were his favorites. He took five or six bags of each.

After a quick sweep, the two of them had a shopping cart piled high with food and drinks. This left all the staff and other customers at the Friendship Store stunned and in disbelief. If they were from the future, they would definitely shout, "Look, here comes a rich man."
