Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Someone is Looking for Trouble with You_1
Everyone has bought a mobile phone, so naturally the first thing they want to do is call their family.
After all, they haven't contacted home since they arrived here.
But having a phone doesn't mean you can just make a call. These international long-distance calls are not only costly, but also not directly dialed. If you want to dial directly, you need to apply for it.
They can only use the IP phone cards mentioned earlier to make calls.
If you have problems ask the class monitor!
This is what class monitor Zhou Yuan personally told everyone...
So, everyone went to class monitor Zhou Yuan, hoping he could help them get some phone cards.
Wang Ye actually had a better solution for the phone card issue, but he didn't say anything.
After arriving, Zhou Yuan smiled in surprise, "You guys are so quick to adapt, all of you are using phones only after two days? Our batch took two to three months to gradually start buying phones, and there are still many students who have not got a phone yet. Come on, everyone add my phone number."
Saying that, Zhou Yuan pulled out a mobile phone.
His phone was clearly not cheap, it was a Motorola V60!
This phone model was a big hit in 2001 just like the Samsung A288, with a flip double screen design, its external screen was even larger than that of Samsung A288!
Naturally, the price is also much higher than Samsung A288.
It is said that Zhou Yuan's family has a mine, not jokingly, they really do have a mine, a gold mine!
However, it's not a big gold mine, probably a small private mine with low output, otherwise, he wouldn't be studying abroad in Moscow...
But obviously, his family's conditions are quite good.
Wang Ye and the other boys could only afford to buy Nokia 3310, while Zhou Yuan was using the Motorola V60, that's the difference.
After exchanging mobile phone numbers, Zhou Yuan discussed the main issue.
"Let's do this, I have a phone card here, you guys use this first to call home. But don't talk for too long, the card only has about an hour left, and there are eight of you. As for the phone card, we are on vacation these days, the senior sister I know is also resting, not working in the big market. How about I take you guys to the big market tomorrow? Coming to Moscow, you must go to the big market to broaden your horizons. If you want to work and earn money in the future, or if you want to buy something from home, or even get a haircut, you have to go there..."
Zhou Yuan is indeed enthusiastic and not stingy.
A card with about an hour left, that's almost equivalent to more than twenty US dollars, he simply gave it to everyone and didn't mention money.
Moreover, it's not close from the school to the big market. If you take the subway, it's an hour each way.
Plus the time from the school to the subway station, it's almost two hours in total.
Back and forth, and a casual stroll in the market, almost a day will go by...
However, the Ant Market is well worth a visit, and it would be good for Zhou Yuan to show everyone the way.
In this big market, it's not only wholesale trading, there are many retail shops as well.
If you want to buy anything, everything is available here, especially items from China.
Like Laoganma Hot Sauce, Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles, oils, vinegar, and so on, anything you can think of, they sell it.
There's also getting a haircut, Zhou Yuan specifically mentioned it because it's really a problem.
In Moscow, getting a haircut is not an easy thing, not to mention that the haircut shops are extremely rare!
Even if you find a barbershop, you don't dare to go in because the price is too expensive!
It costs tens or even hundreds of dollars, ordinary people really can't afford it.
In TV series from Europe and the United States, you often see them giving their children haircuts. It's not because they are handy, but because they can't afford it...
But in the Ant Market, there are many haircut shops run by Chinese people, the price is much cheaper, with seven or eight rubles you can get one. This is where many Chinese students studying abroad come for haircuts.
Of course, many foreign students cut their own hair, they buy some razors and scissors, and simply cut themselves.
In the dormitory's bathroom, you often see foreigners sitting on chairs, letting their friends cut their hair for them.
......
With the phone card "contributed" by Zhou Yuan, everyone took turns to make their calls.
Wang Ye was not in a hurry to compete with everyone, instead, he chatted with Zhou Yuan.
This class monitor is quite a good person, definitely worth making friends with.
When there was no one else in the room, Zhou Yuan lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Be careful these days, I heard that Zhang Ke is planning to look for you."
Wang Ye was slightly stunned, and asked back, "Who is Zhang Ke? I don't even know this person."
"The one with long hair and short height, didn't he come to your dormitory to make a fuss the other day and you hit him?" Zhou Yuan explained.
So the long-haired shortie was named Zhang Ke, Wang Ye now understands.
However, he didn't take it to heart, instead he laughed and said, "What does he want with me? Is he going to come over in the middle of the night to beat me, haha."
If this were in China, Wang Ye might have been a little worried because Zhang Ke might bring people to cause him trouble.
He's not like Song Xiaogang, who trained at Tagou Martial Arts School. If the other side had more people, he really couldn't win...
But this is Moscow!
Wang Ye doesn't believe that Zhang Ke can find people to help him here. They are all foreign students, and there are no fools.
Just like the two students who came with Zhang Ke the other day, they are good at pulling strings and cheering, but...
Really going toe to toe, absolutely no one would be willing.
Depending on Zhang Ke, Wang Ye could beat him up single-handedly!
So there's nothing to worry about.
Moreover, if he ever runs into trouble, Song Xiaogang will definitely step up. After overcoming his emotional obstacles, Song Xiaogang's fighting power is definitely off the charts!
.....
When everyone had finished their calls, Wang Ye dialed his home number in China according to the instructions on the phone card.
Using this phone card is very troublesome. You need to first enter a long series of numbers, then follow the prompts to enter the password, and then enter the domestic phone number. Even if you are very proficient, it will take two to three minutes to really make the call.
Due to the time difference, it's already evening in China in our morning.
Luckily, his parents hadn't gone to bed, and they were delighted to receive Wang Ye's call.
"How come you're calling back? After you arrived there on the first day, the agency called us to ensure your safety. By the way, is it cold there? Are the clothes you brought enough? How do you solve meals, can you cook, can you buy vegetables..."
His mother asked a bunch of questions, and Wang Ye didn't even get a chance to speak...
But he's not impatient at all, he just feels warm inside.
