Chapter 700: Beat People for Money
She also said that since Chinese food is so popular in later generations.
Why didn’t our predecessors make Chinese restaurants spread all over the world like McDonald’s and KFC?
In this way, while the two of them were chatting, Xia Ran had her first Chinese meal in public.
Of course there was no mashed garlic, as there was no garlic crusher here. There were only garlic cloves, so Xia Ran just made do with it.
The taste is neither good nor bad, it's just average.
I guess they have been here for a long time, so their taste has somewhat changed from that of the locals, so the food tastes a bit different.
But Xia Ran was still very happy that she finally had a normal meal.
Xia Ran paid the money and thanked the other party. Before leaving, he specifically asked for the address of the black market where money could be exchanged.
Boss Xie mentioned three places in one breath, and finally emphasized:
“These are the places I go to most often, and they are relatively fair.
But there are a lot of robbers and scammers around there, so it’s best not to go there alone.”
"Okay, thank you very much, boss."
"Why call me boss? It sounds awkward. Everyone else calls me Lao Xie, why don't you call me that too."
"Okay, Lao Xie."
Xia Ran called a taxi and rushed to the places that Lao Xie mentioned again. She needed to exchange all the rubles she had.
When we arrived at the first place mentioned by Lao Xie, we saw groups of people gathered together, some were trading and some were negotiating prices.
Before Xia Ran could even make a move, a black man and a black woman came over and asked directly, "Exchange money?"
Xia Ran didn't waste any time and asked directly what the exchange rate was.
As a result, the other party didn't tell him the exchange rate, but just wanted to see how much money Xia Ran had in his hand first?
As soon as Xia Ran heard this, he felt that these two people were unreliable, so he ignored them and walked past them to ask other people.
As a result, the two men didn't want to let Xia Ran leave. They thought Xia Ran would be easier to control alone, so they wanted to pull Xia Ran away.
Xia Ran took one look and without saying a word kicked the man in the ear.
The black man fell flat on his face, and the woman screamed when she saw it.
The others who were trading all looked over here.
Xia Ran ignored this and continued to slap the screaming woman in the face one after another.
He cursed loudly: "I told you to rob my money, I told you to rob my money right away, I'll beat you to death.
I won’t be allowed to leave if I don’t pay. Is there any law?
Are you bullying me because I'm the only one here? Do you think I'm easy to deal with? I'll beat you to death."
When everyone heard this, they realized that it was true. This black couple often hung around here.
However, they usually focus on fraud and rarely rob people themselves.
Generally, the ones chosen are novices who have rarely exchanged money here.
They just trick people into giving them their money under the pretext of counting it and then run away.
In fact, it is no different from open robbery.
And almost every time it ends in nothing.
Because the police here don't care much about this matter, and when they heard that the person who was robbed was a foreigner, they turned their attention even less.
Just pretend you are blind.
Foreigners who have been here for a long time have come to know the real situation here and just accept it. Few choose to call the police.
Because calling the police is not only useless, but you may even be blackmailed again, which is not worth it.
Xia Ran was also very angry. She had only been here for one day and had been robbed twice. No one would be able to keep a good temper.
There were so many people last time that she couldn't do it alone, so she had to use her wits.
Not now. If you dare to grab me, I will beat you to death.
Thinking of this, she kicked the man who had just gotten up twice more.
She was also more grateful to Mikhail. It turned out that the military vehicle was so useful and saved her so much trouble.
She almost mistakenly thought that Da Su was the same as she had seen before.
But when he got here, he was immediately slapped in the face. This is the real Da Su.
I've decided to give Mikhail some yak jerky next time. It's also delicious and chewier.
Someone shouted, "The police are coming."
Xia Ran followed the crowd and ran away.
The reason why the others ran away was not because exchanging money privately was illegal.
I was simply afraid of being blackmailed by the police.
The locals are treated much better than foreigners, but when they see and smell the money, they still can't help but spend it.
To put it bluntly, the police here are slaves to money and have long forgotten their true powers.
Xia Ran was not familiar with this place, so he could only follow the group and run away.
The three people in front ran for two blocks before stopping. Seeing this, Xia Ran also stopped.
One of them dived into another path and disappeared in an instant.
Only a tall bearded man and a short fat man were left standing there, bent over and gasping for breath.
They had seen Xia Ran's bravery just now.
They had already run two blocks, but he was still chasing them.
As soon as the two men recovered their breath, they became angry and shouted directly: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Xia Ran was bewildered by what she was yelling at. Thinking that the other party must have misunderstood her, she could only patiently explain:
"I didn't mean to do anything. I'm not familiar with this place, so I just followed you.
By the way, I would also like to ask, what is the current exchange rate?"
The bearded man was speechless when he heard this. "Why didn't you tell us earlier? We thought you were planning to rob us."
Xia Ran said: "I'm fine, why are you robbing me? Robbery is illegal, you can't do it."
It’s good that it’s not a robbery. The two men looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
If we really fight this monster, it's not certain who will win.
This woman is a little monster, it’s better not to get into a conflict with her.
The short and fat man said, "Today our exchange rate is 76 to 1. If you exchange, I will give you 74 to 1. No less."
Xia Ran thought it was okay when she heard it, as it was within her acceptable range.
After all, people do this to make some money.
But when Xia Ran opened her mouth to speak, she still said:
"That's too high! I heard others are at 72 to 1, and some are at 70 to 1.
How come it's 74 to 1 in your hands? It's too expensive."
"The black market is always higher than the bank, don't you know?"
"I know, but I didn't expect it to be so much higher. Can you give me 72 to 1?"
"72 to 1 is not good enough, the minimum is 73.5 to 1, no less."
"So, I won't ask for 72, and you don't ask for 73.5. Let's just go with 73 to 1.
You make money, and I don't suffer too much, what do you think?"
The two people opposite asked anxiously: "How many US dollars do you have in total?"
The bearded man asked, "Do you have so much money?"
Xia Ran: "Even if I don't have enough, there's still more elsewhere. So, tell me, how much money do you have in total?"
The two men looked at each other suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and counted the money in their hands.
The final calculation was, "A total of US dollars, are you sure you want them all?" The change was not counted and I kept it for myself.
Xia Ran used a calculator to calculate, nearly 355 million rubles, almost equal to the deposit in her space.
After the exchange, I can still have some surplus.
"Okay, let's change."
