Friendship Store.
It is not just a place to buy imported goods.
It also carries the beautiful vision of lasting friendship between countries.
It has made a significant contribution to China's economy and foreign exchanges.
This unique shop has a wide selection of imported goods.
Whether it is international luxury brands or various specialty products.
Whatever you can think of, your shopping dream can be realized here.
Of course, entering this store is not easy.
Initially, only three types of people were allowed to enter: foreigners, diplomats, and government officials.
This also makes the people regard this place as a sacred and inviolable dreamland.
In that era of material scarcity, the dazzling array of goods there was everyone's lifelong dream and pursuit.
It was not until China entered the era of market economy that Friendship Stores gradually opened their doors to ordinary people, unveiling their mysterious veil.
"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! The Friendship Store in Guangzhou has three floors. The first floor is China's first self-service shopping mall."
When the driver Xiao Liu heard that the destination was the Friendship Store, he gradually became more talkative.
"Customers can go in and shop by just pushing the shopping cart provided by the mall and choosing the products themselves.
After you have selected the items you want to buy, you can proceed to the checkout counter to pay. In addition to using cash, you can also use an electronic cash register to make a one-time payment..."
"What are sold on the second and third floors?" Mo Zhexuan asked curiously.
He had never set foot in the Friendship Store in this life or in the previous one.
But the name of this store is well-known, and it is said that the goods there are very expensive.
The driver, Xiao Liu, scratched his head and answered uncertainly:
“I’m not exactly sure, but I heard the second floor mainly sells some rare seafood, famous Chinese and foreign liquors and cigarettes, as well as valuable medicinal herbs and the like.
The third floor seems to sell rare items such as jade, pearls, antiques, jade, and ancient porcelain."
Mo Zhexuan was stunned when he heard this, and something suddenly came to his mind.
In my previous life, I attended an auction with a friend.
A foreigner bought an imperial bowl from the Qianlong era from the Friendship Store.
It was finally sold at a sky-high price of over 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, antiques are valuable, in troubled times, gold is valuable. This saying really makes sense.
After some casual chatting, Mo Zhexuan gradually learned about the driver Xiao Liu's past.
Xiao Liu's name is Liu Yiru, a native of Guangzhou, and he served in the army for five years.
He also personally experienced the battlefield of the self-defense war against Vietnam.
During those days, he was brave and good at fighting, and had great military achievements, but fate was not kind to him.
Because he offended someone in the army, he had no choice but to retire and go home.
And the job was assigned to me as an ordinary driver.
Upon learning this, Mo Zhexuan instantly decided to recruit Liu Yiru into the "Black Ice Platform Security" that was being secretly established.
As for Wang Yalin, he should be on his way back to his hometown by train.
After the two had an in-depth conversation last night, Mo Zhexuan asked him to return to his hometown to reunite with his family.
As for the things he had done in the past, Mo Zhexuan reported them to his superiors through Xu Zhiyuan, and the problem should not be too serious.
"Mr. Mo! Ms. Li! We're here!" Liu Yiru parked the car steadily in the parking lot.
He pointed his right index finger at the four majestic characters on the sign in front of the door and said.
“That’s the Friendship Store.”
"You come in with us." Mo Zhexuan said.
He took out a stack of foreign exchange certificates from the briefcase given by the bank manager, took out ten and handed them to Liu Yiru.
"Take it!"
Liu Yiru shook his head firmly, "I can't accept this. I don't accept rewards without merit."
"You are my driver, it is only natural that I pay you." Mo Zhexuan valued this person more and more and was eager to recruit him for his own work.
"Mr. Mo, there's really no need. This is my duty." Liu Yiru declined again.
"Okay, I won't force you, let's go in together!" Seeing this, Mo Zhexuan no longer insisted.
The three of them successfully entered the Friendship Store and saw the lights inside the store flashing like dancing silver snakes.
The floor tiles are as white as a mirror and shine brightly.
The windows are filled with a wide variety of goods, forming a colorful world.
"Brother Xuan! The variety of goods here is really complete, it can be compared with the supermarkets in Hong Kong.
What surprised me even more was that I saw my favorite Hershey chocolate here, how great it was! ”
Li Peizhen pushed the shopping cart into the food area, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Miss! We have popular food brands from all over the world.
Such as Hershey chocolate, Dove chocolate, cookies, Coca-Cola, Lays potato chips, etc.
We also have products produced in our country, such as White Rabbit, maltose, and canned fruit.”
The waiter enthusiastically introduced different kinds of imported and domestic foods.
He did have some good eyesight. Just by looking at the exquisite attire of the two people, he knew they must be VIPs.
"Then take more. It will take some time for us to return to Hong Kong anyway," Mo Zhexuan said.
I started to choose from the different types of food one by one, and took two portions of almost every brand of food.
Especially potato chips and dried fruits, which are his favorites. He took five or six bags of each.
