Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 45 - Evil Intermediary_1

Chapter 45 -45: Evil Intermediary_1

After hesitating for a while, Wang Ye still cautiously reminded her:

“It’s your first time doing business selling phone cards, shouldn’t you proceed a bit more cautiously? Will taking so many at once result in them being stuck in your hands for a long time? There’s no need for that, just take enough to cover two weeks to a month’s sales at a time, it’s convenient enough for me to replenish as well.”

Yanzi smiled faintly, “I know, but you may not know how many Chinese students there are in my dormitory area. With so many cards, I estimate it will cover one or two weeks’ sales.”

Wang Ye was taken aback.

He had never really visited the other dormitory at Moscow University; he always used to hang out on the main building side.

The main building primarily accommodates students studying science majors, with most of the liberal arts students residing in the other dormitory area.

His cousin Ruan Xiaozhu also majors in arts, but somehow she managed to secure a room over here in the main building.

This Yanzi belonged to the same class as Ruan Xiaozhu, residing in the other dormitory area.

In fact, Wang Ye overlooked the fact that the majority of Chinese students studying abroad in Russia are in fact studying liberal arts…

Russian as a foreign language is one of the hardest to begin with, and science is a more difficult subject. So studying science in Russia is basically putting difficulty upon difficulty!

Most students simply don’t have the courage for such a challenge.

Therefore, the true “bastion” of Chinese students studying at Moscow University is in the separate dormitories area…

Moscow University has one department where over half are Chinese students. That’s the sociology department.

Among the Chinese students studying in Russia, there is a joke. “Once you’re into the sociology department at Moscow University, you’ve become a ‘sociable person'”!

Not that the department is particularly good, just that it’s quite easy to float through and graduate…

The real star departments of Moscow University, like mathematics and computer science, don’t find many Chinese students daring to enroll.

Song Xiaogang and others said that in the past there were Chinese students who would not be swayed and enrolled in mathematics and computer science departments.

But reality is harsh – over the years, the number of Chinese students graduating from computer science and mathematics could be counted on one hand!

The universities here have a policy of “easy admission, strict graduation”. Every year, each department will pin up a list of names. These are the students who have been expelled…

……

Different factors combined, resulted in the majority of Chinese students choosing to major in liberal arts subjects.

Thus, not many Chinese students live on the main building side of Moscow University. Most of them are residing in the dormitory area where Yanzi lives.

No wonder Yanzi had this much confidence, ordering so many phone cards for her first sale!

Then there was nothing much for Wang Ye to say, he immediately took out his wallet and began to count the phone cards.

Twice the number of Ruan Xiaozhu’s…

That is, twenty-one hundred-dollar cards and forty fifty-dollar cards, totaling four thousand US dollars!

Offered for wholesale at 80 percent, the charge was three thousand two hundred US dollars.

The trip was indeed worthwhile, as almost all the phone cards he received from Liu Jun had been sold.

He successfully recovered four thousand eight hundred dollars!

Later, he would ask Song Xiaogang about his sales conditions. The remaining cards were probably enough to be covered by Song Xiaogang…

Being a wholesaler is indeed much more comfortable than being a retailer, as you don’t have to run around every day delivering cards. Just contact a few distributors and deliver cards to them every one or two weeks.

Now shops at both Moscow University and Friendship University have been fixed, the remaining few colleges also need to be planned for quickly.

…

While Ruan Xiaozhu was busy in the bathroom applying makeup, Wang Ye turned his head and saw a computer sitting on the table.

It was a desktop computer, with a bulky Sony Trinitron flat screen monitor.

At that time, it was high-end equipment!

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

An idea sprang to mind, so Wang Ye shouted towards the bathroom, “Sis, can your computer surf the Internet? Can I use it for a while?”

Ruan Xiaozhu responded succinctly: “Sure, just turn it on. There’s no password.”

The internet connection was very cheap in the main building of Moscow University, said to cost only 25 dollars a month for unlimited usage!

Of course, the speed wasn’t that high, but there really wasn’t much to do on the internet back then.

Just chat on QQ, browse news, forum posts, and the like.

No high speed was required.

Wang Ye’s intention of going online wasn’t pointless. He wanted to get in touch with Chinese students at other universities in Moscow.

In other universities, the number of Chinese students can’t be compared with Moscow University or Friendship University, maybe just around ten to twenty…

It would not be worthwhile for Wang Ye to visit each university.

However, Wang Ye knew about a forum, the Eastern Europe Study Abroad Sub-forum on the Xici Hutong Forum, which was well-known in China at the time.

There were many Chinese students studying in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and other countries in the forum.

There were also some people asking questions about studying in those countries.

Wang Ye intended to post a message leaving his phone number, then just wait for Chinese students from other Moscow institutions to contact him. This way, the efficiency would be higher, and it would not waste time.

…

After turning on the computer, Wang Ye adeptly opened the IE browser, entered the Xici Hutong forum, logged in, and found the Eastern Europe Study Abroad Discussion forum.

The Internet was not well-developed at that time, and forums were the popular places on the web.

Sites such as Tianya Community, Mop Forum, Xici Hutong, and so on…

Just after opening the forum, he saw many posts asking about various questions related to studying abroad.

“Question for senior colleagues: Are universities in Ukraine formal? Is it easy to graduate?”

“Planning to go to Russia this year, with my grades it will definitely not be easy to get into a good university. Can any brothers or sisters suggest a university with cheap tuition and a good reputation? Also, which study abroad agency is more reputable in China?”

“Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, I have already paid the fees and registered with an agency. Moscow University, here I come haha…!”

Looking at these posts, Wang Ye couldn’t help but smile.

Before coming to Moscow, he often asked questions in the forum.

All minor everyday matters, such as how many clothes to bring, whether he could adapt to the food here, etc.

After all, he was going to a foreign land. It was completely normal to be anxious before leaving.

He casually clicked on the post from the person who stated they were coming to Moscow University.

The poster detailed the fees and procedures for going through an agency to study abroad in the post. These details were of particular interest to the people on the forum.

The person who posted is from the Northeast, he went through a study abroad agency in the capital. The agency charged forty-five thousand yuan, excluding tuition, accommodation, airfare, etc….

Seeing this, Wang Ye couldn’t help but exclaim, “How much?!”

Of course, he was criticizing the study abroad agency that had charged such a high fee.

Wang Ye himself had gone through an agency in Zhongyuan Province, and the fee was only thirty-two thousand CNY…

He sighed to himself, this kid has been so heavily fleeced by someone, but still posts a celebratory note on the forum. It’s laughable…

Just as he was thinking this, Wang Ye was suddenly startled.
