Yanjing Friendship Store has four floors, with a business area of more than 9,000 square meters. It has a spacious, bright, comfortable and elegant shopping environment with complete supporting facilities. Even from the perspective of future generations, the scale of Youyi Store is no less than that of ordinary supermarkets.
Jiang Yulou and Olivia walked around on the first floor. After asking, they learned that the types of goods sold in the store were much richer than those in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores outside, but they were mainly concentrated in jewelry, antiques and other types of Chinese products. Traditional handicrafts and imported home appliances.
However, it is understandable. After all, the existence of Friendship Stores is originally opened by the country to earn foreign exchange, and it is fundamentally different from domestic supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.
Originally, Jiang Yulou mainly wanted to buy appliances and bicycles today, but now that he entered the Friendship Store, there was no need to worry. Speaking of which, he hadn't experienced the fun of shopping for a long time.
The first floor sells bicycles, motorcycles and home appliances, while the second floor sells art and jewelry.
Olivia was not interested in the things on the first floor, so she took Jiang Yulou's hand and went up to the second floor.
Sure enough, girls from any country are particularly interested in shiny things.
"Jiang, do you think my other pearl brooches look good?"
"Jiang, this jade bracelet is so beautiful, but it's so expensive."
"Jiang, what is the carving on this mutton-fat jade? Is it a god?"
"..."
Olivia was like a child who didn't understand anything. Whenever she saw something nice or strange, she would take it into her hands and play with it for a while.
Jiang Yulou didn't know much about jewelry, so he couldn't comment casually. Of course, if everything inside is genuine, as long as Olivia buys it, it will be easy for the price to increase dozens of times in a decade or so.
But I guess you won’t sell fakes in Friendship Store. If it is revealed, Friendship Store will be shocked.
Finally, unable to withstand Olivia's repeated requests, Jiang Yulou picked two accessories for her. One is said to be an "Laokeng glass species" jade bracelet, and the other is a mutton-fat jade Guanyin statue.
The price of the two pieces is not expensive, the total foreign exchange coupons are only about a hundred yuan.
After buying the jewelry that you are satisfied with, you can start shopping as you please. However, the imported snacks, tobacco and alcohol on the third floor were quite eye-catching. Jiang Yulou was also very greedy for some chocolates, so he bought some.
Finally, there is the fourth floor, which is full of imported clothing.
Of course, all the people shopping here are a combination of foreigners and Asian faces.
Most of the clothes sold on the market are gray, blue and black. They are basically the same for men and women, except for the different collars. But it’s different inside the Friendship Store, it’s really a dazzling array of things.
But clothing is about fashion.
When these products become available in China, they will either be out of stock or out of season. Anyway, he didn't see any foreigners buying them. They were all Asian faces, and they were all extremely excited.
Jiang Yulou said that it would be better to buy some imported snacks and candies, which would be more economical. At least they could be placed at home to entertain guests and get some envious looks.
The clothes you buy here can only be worn secretly when you go out. How boring.
Jiang Yulou said: "Let's go down."
Olivia had bought everything she wanted, and it was his turn.
The foreign girl nodded and followed him downstairs without any hesitation.
After the two went downstairs, they first came to the bicycle counter. The bicycles sold here were all domestic big-name bicycles, such as Phoenix, Forever, Feige, etc.
Among these bicycle brands, Phoenix is undoubtedly the one with the strongest product capabilities. It has been recognized by the people for its high cost performance.
Originally, he was already planning to buy a Phoenix brand 28-inch bike, until he saw the Suzuki FA50 electric bicycle.
It is said to be an electric bicycle, but it is actually a motorcycle.
However, the price of this Suzuki electric bicycle is very gratifying, with the original price of one thousand yuan.
Ordinary workers would have to go without food and water for several years before they could afford such a small toy.
Olivia saw Jiang Yulou's eyes staring at the Suzuki FA50, so she asked: "Jiang, do you want to buy it?"
She didn't doubt whether Jiang Yulou could afford it. After all, he was a great writer. Buying a bicycle worth 1,000 yuan was just like having fun.
Jiang Yulou nodded and said: "Yes, I will buy a Phoenix brand 28-inch big banger."
After hearing the instructions, Olivia immediately stepped forward and called the salesperson, pointing to the 28 big bars of Suzuki FA50 and Phoenix. Then he took out the money.
The salesperson understood immediately and enthusiastically pushed the two bicycles out.
However, Jiang Yulou's shopping was not over yet. It was too troublesome to push the bicycle, so he left it at the counter and picked it up after the shopping was over.
After that came the television and the refrigerator.
Jiang Yulou chose the Sanyo TV set, which cost a little over 400 yuan. However, refrigerators are a bit expensive, ranging from cheap to expensive, with prices ranging from 2,000 yuan to 4,000 yuan.
In the end, because he was short of money, Jiang Yulou chose a Wanbao refrigerator and spent 2,000 yuan.
In other words, he spent 3,600 yuan just buying these big items today. If he hadn't had some savings now, he wouldn't have dared to spend money so lavishly.
After coming out of the Friendship Store, Jiang Yulou paid Olivia money.
He originally wanted to pay according to the black market price, but Olivia wouldn't accept it.
According to her words, thanks to Jiang Yulou, she had already earned dozens of times this amount by relying on news with a unique perspective.
The exchange rate of the foreign exchange coupons has no impact on her. It is purely to help Jiang Yulou buy things. Moreover, she was also very happy today. After all, she had a handsome guy shopping with her. This gain was enough to make up for the price difference of the exchange coupon.
Jiang Yulou did not insist anymore, but said gratefully: "I accept your favor."
Then, he and his eldest brother tied the TV and refrigerator to the two bicycles. As for the original bicycles, they left them at the door of the Friendship Store.
At this time, the security is acceptable, and since it is located in the embassy area, there will be no thieves coming here to steal things.
When a few people returned to Jinyu Alley on bicycles carrying TV sets and refrigerators, the whole alley was in a sensation.
These days, home appliances are the most in-demand goods.
Especially imported ones, you can't buy them if you have money. You have to have access to a friendship store to get them.
Looking at the things the Jiang family bought, not to mention the brand-new bicycles, the TV set and the large refrigerator were obviously items only found in Youyi Store.
For a time, the neighbors became envious of the Jiang family.
After asking around, I found out that the Jiang family's youngest son was not simple. Not only college students, but also students of Yenching University. But college students shouldn’t have that much money, right?
After asking around again, it turns out that he is also a writer!
Oh, writer, that is an incredible status.
Although the neighbors are jealous, they also know that the Jiang family is not simple.
