The first floor of the Friendship Store houses a wide variety of fine products.
The main products include food, clothing, cosmetics, toys, photographic equipment, watches and glasses, embroidery, bicycles, home appliances, mid-to-high-end furniture, and various handicrafts with Chinese characteristics.
After Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen finished shopping on the first floor of the Friendship Store, they had filled five shopping carts.
They temporarily gave up on carrying bicycles, household appliances and mid- to high-end furniture because they were too large and inconvenient to carry.
I bought almost all other kinds of goods, and finally spent a total of yuan when I checked out at the counter.
Both of them were knowledgeable people, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the price was indeed outrageous.
If these things were in Hong Kong, they would cost no more than 8,000 yuan, but that's understandable.
After all, purchasing from all over the world takes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. If we don’t make money, we will lose a lot of money. How can we earn foreign exchange then?
"Xiao Liu, could you please take a few photos for us?"
Li Peizhen smiled and handed the newly bought Nikon camera to Liu Yiru, then naturally took Mo Zhexuan's arm.
Mo Zhexuan was also very cooperative. He held his head high, smiled, and posed in various postures.
As Liu Yiru pressed the shutter button again and again, the sound of shutter clicking was heard, and photos recording different scenes were immediately frozen.
As you walk into the second floor, a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine hits your nose. This is the area specializing in precious medicinal materials.
When the three of them got closer, they saw rows of neatly arranged glass bottles filled with various medicinal herbs. Some of them were brightly colored, some had strange shapes, and they exuded unique aromas.
"Sir! Madam! Welcome!" a saleswoman came up to us with a smile.
She had just received a notice from her leader that two important customers had arrived on the second floor.
Therefore, she was particularly enthusiastic and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Ma'am, could you please introduce me to the most precious medicinal herbs here?" Mo Zhexuan asked curiously.
"Of course, sir," the saleswoman replied, and then went straight to introducing the most precious medicinal herbs.
"The most precious medicinal materials here include ginseng, polygonum multiflorum, ganoderma lucidum, shark fin, snow lotus, ambergris, etc.
Among them, we have one wild ginseng plant that is over 100 years old, one that is over 80 years old, and five that are over 50 years old;
Among the Polygonum multiflorum, there is one plant that is over 80 years old and three plants that are over 50 years old;
There are relatively few Ganoderma lucidum, and now there is only one that is over a hundred years old."
Just as Mo Zhexuan was about to speak, he was suddenly stunned by the sound of bargaining from the front.
I saw a man about 1.6 meters tall, with narrow eyes, a high nose and crooked teeth.
He was talking to the salesperson at the counter in halting Chinese.
Judging from the man's appearance and accent, he is obviously not Chinese.
"I'll give... ten thousand... Mi Jin." The man uttered the number with difficulty.
Although the salesperson had a smile on his face, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He still patiently explained:
"Sir, all the precious medicinal herbs that are over fifty years old are worth at least fifty thousand MiGold together.
The price you offer is too low.”
The man seemed unwilling to give in. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Then I'll add a little more, twelve thousand meters of gold, how about that?"
The salesperson shook his head firmly:
"No, I can't decide the price. It needs at least 50,000 MiGold."
“............”
Mo Zhexuan immediately recognized the man's true identity with his piercing eyes. Based on his appearance and height, he concluded that he must be from an island country that lived a comfortable life.
He listened carefully to the conversation between the two parties and understood the other party's intention - he actually wanted to use 10,000 MiGold to buy all the precious medicinal materials that were over 50 years old.
This is undoubtedly a wolfish ambition and wishful thinking.
"Ma'am, I want all the precious medicinal herbs that are over fifty years old.
And the shark fin, ambergris, seahorse, etc. you just introduced, pack them all for me," Mo Zhexuan said decisively.
The saleswoman beside her thought she had misheard and stammered to confirm:
"Are you... sure?"
"Sure!" Mo Zhexuan nodded firmly, but then he thought that he might not have enough foreign exchange coupons to pay the fee.
So he then asked:
"Do you accept checks here? Or do you have to have foreign exchange certificates?"
"I need to report this to my leader. Could you please wait a moment?" The female salesperson was a little undecided. This was the first time she encountered such a situation.
After getting Mo Zhexuan's nod of agreement, she turned and went to the counter to ask her companions.
Li Peizhen was worried that she couldn't use her checkbook, but remembering that Li Zhaoji probably had a lot of foreign exchange certificates on him, she quickly said:
"Brother Xuan, if you need foreign exchange coupons, I'll go ask my dad for them. He still has quite a few on him, which should be enough to cover the expenses this time."
"Don't worry! China is such a big country, and now it's implementing reform and opening up, how could it not cooperate with international banks? Otherwise, how can we attract investment? So the check will definitely be fine."
Mo Zhexuan comforted Li Peizhen, and at the same time noticed that Liu Yiru seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say but was too embarrassed to speak.
Just as Mo Zhexuan was about to ask Liu Yiru, the female salesperson had returned, followed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
The man has a big head and a round face, and is smiling, just like a Maitreya Buddha, giving people a friendly and warm feeling.
