Chapter 59:Leica Camera

In the afternoon, the people who went out to shop and bought shopping were divided into three sets.

The first dial includes Luo Xiangfei, Qiao Ziyuan and Hu Zhijie three department-level cadres, accompanied by Li Bo, these three people have had several overseas experience in the past, will not be so fussy, coupled with the fear of their own image, so go out is mainly for sightseeing, shopping in the second.

The second dial is Liu Yanping and He Lili two women, who belong to the most fanatical shopping, and the points of interest are also different from the big men of Ji Ming, so they are not easy to get involved.

The last one is Hao Yawei, Ji Ming and Yang Yongnian, who are similar in rank and have more common language.But no one of them can speak German, and the street-filled businesses can not find a common language, so they can only take Feng Xiaochen, pointing to the temporary seconded personnel they are not very visible on weekdays to give them as a translator.

In order to save money, a group of people did not choose to take a taxi, but took the subway under the leadership of Feng Xiaochen and came to the Zell Street in Frankfurt, which was a bustling commercial street in the impression of Feng Xiaochen in the previous year.Compared with the afterlife, the Zell Street is even more prosperous at this time, and the signs of various specialty stores are dazzling.

When several bureau chiefs were in the country, there were quite some official powers, especially when they went to the local inspection work, they carried a shelf, like what a big person.But when we arrived here and now, everyone was exposed, one by one, like the old farmers who had just entered the city, they felt fresh when they saw everything, and they had to subconsciously squabble the soles of the shoes before entering a store, for fear of leaving two lines of mud on the floor of the mirror.

“Son, show me how much this dress costs.”

“This hat is worn by a lesbian, isn’t it?”

“Wing Chen, what kind of fun is this, looking very beautiful...”

Everyone has something they want to buy, and at the same time to complete the tasks entrusted by their wives and children, and to prepare suitable gifts for leaders, relatives, etc., but the money is fixed, and more than any one can't find someone to borrow.So people can only repeatedly compare the prices of various commodities, in the mind like a mathematical topic to do the calculation, for a long time to make up their minds, let Feng Xiaochen help them buy a thing.

Hao Yawei also bought a few small games for his wife and children and spent more than two hundred marks.When they walked to the counter of the photographic equipment, Hao Yawei could not walk again, staring at a Laika camera on the shelf, and his eyes were about to catch fire.

“If you really like it, buy it.”Feng Xiaochen said carefully that among the three of them, he and Hao Yawei were the most distant, perhaps because of Hao Yawei's usual cold face.He did not want to be involved with Hao Yawei's procurement decision, and now he saw Hao Yawei's expression, he was a little impatient, so he took out his 500 marks from his arms and handed it to Hao Yawei's hand, saying:

“I’m single, I don’t have anything to buy.If not, I'll lend you 500 marks, and you'll pay me back."

“How can I borrow your foreign currency?”Hao Yawei hurriedly refused to say so, but in his tone there was some hesitation.

"It's okay, I'll just lend it to you, I don't have to."Feng Xiaochen.He came to Germany with some private ideas, and the conditions are not yet mature, and not enough for outsiders.He did not know how to do his own thing, only to take a step.However, no matter what the situation, 500 marks of pocket money for him has no meaning, but it is better to do personal feelings and lend it to Hao Yawei.Perhaps at the critical time, Hao Yawei can also ask Hao Yawei to help himself to say a few good words.

"Old Hao, Xiao Feng also saw that you are too obsessed, so save your money through you, you don't brush his kindness."He said on the other side.He had just been observing Feng Xiaochen, and found that Feng Xiaochen did not seem to want to buy things, and was wondering whether he would ask Feng Xiaochen privately and borrow one or two hundred marks from him to spend.Now see Feng Xiaochen lent 500 marks to Hao Yawei, Ji Ming is quite jealous, but still helped Feng Xiaochen persuade Hao Yawei.

Hao Yaweiyu hesitated to pull the money and said, “This is not enough.”This model of the camera, which I saw in the morning at the boutique on the other side of Goethe Avenue, was priced at 2200 marks.It's 70 marks cheaper here, and I'm going to have 2130 marks, but in my hand, plus Xiao Feng lent me 500, that is, more than 1600, and 500."

“You just bought something.”The wise criticism.

Hao Yawei said bitterly: “Dare not to buy it?”If I come out, I don't bring anything to my wife, and she won't hit my camera when she comes back?"

"Then she can't bear it, but at least it's a big deal of $2,000."Yang Yongnian laughed.

"Two men, or you will carry forward the style and give me another 500?"When we come out this time, Director Luo means to run a few more places, it is estimated that we will stay for 20 days, and I will give you back the pocket money of those days behind me."Hao Yawei began to ask for help from Ji Ming and Yang Yongnian.

“There is no show!”He shook his head decisively, "Is the foreign exchange I have on hand now, or is my wife looking for her unit in exchange, if she knows that I have exchanged foreign exchange for you, she will not finish with me?"

“No, old man, you’re still trying to figure it out.”Yang Yongnian also ran far away, afraid of Hao Yaweilai on him.Everyone is the director, there is no question of who shoots who is ass, and at this critical time, he does not have such a high style.

“See you at the crucial time!The whole metallurgical bureau, that is, Xiao Feng is the most generous!"Hao Yawei issued a gruffal feeling, returned 500 marks and plugs to Feng Xiaochen, "Little Feng, thank you, but this money alone is useless, it is still far away."

Feng Xiaochen waved his hand and said, “Chief Hao, take the money first.”You know this model, right?I don't think the other two models are cheaper, and you'll get a little more money to buy."

Hao Yawei looked at the two cameras next to him and shook his head: "It almost means, such a big piece, if you can't buy it with the best of your mouth, you will regret it later."I'd rather wait until the next time I get a chance to come out, and then make some money, and buy it."

Feng Xiaochen thought about it and said, "So, Chief Hao, I'll ask you again."

“Ask what?”Hao Yawei was surprised, this is a formal shop in Germany, not a domestic free market, and a price statement?

Feng Xiaochen did not answer, but raised his hand to make a gesture and shouted to the salesman.The salesman had been staring at them, but he did not come up to greet them.He could guess from the performance of the crowd that these guests with oriental faces were supposed to be shy in their pockets and could not afford to buy the cameras on the shelf, and it made no sense for him to come to say hello.Now that he saw Feng Xiaochen beckoning to him, he hurried over.

“Sir, is there anything that can be done for you?”The salesman asked politely.

“Can I talk to you next to me?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

“It is a great honor.”The salesman did not know, but he agreed.

The two of them walked to avoid the guests who came and went.Feng Xiaochen said something to the salesman, the salesman patted his head, suddenly showed joy, said a little wait, then drilled into a small door on the shelf, drilled into the warehouse.After a while, the salesman reappeared, holding a box in his hand.He put the box on the counter and opened the box, which was the type of camera that Hao Yawei had just seen.

“Chief Hao, this camera, as long as 1720 marks, what do you think?”He smiled and asked Hao Yawei.

"What?Why is it so cheap!”Hao Yawei froze.

The salesman purred a string of German, and Feng Xiaochen helped him translate it.It turned out that this was a camera used as a sample, put on the shelf for two whole years, and was kowtolen once, with a not-so-clear scratch on the surface.The luster of the paint is also somewhat dimmed.The store originally intended to send the camera to the second-hand store for sale, just now Feng Xiaochen asked, the salesman took it out.

“The sample?Is there a functional problem?”Hao Yawei asked.

“Absolutely no problem!”The salesman said firmly.

“So... can I try it?”Hao Yawei asked again.

“Please.”The salesman pointed his hand.

Hao Yawei can't wait to take the camera, here press, there pinch, as the salesman said, this camera has nothing wrong, even the scratches on the surface, do not look seriously can not see.This is the same as in Germany in a developed country, the goods are a little flawed, the price will be a big discount.If you are stranded in China, not to mention this kind of small flaw that does not hinder the big picture, even if it is a little fault, someone will rush to buy it.

“Old man, old man, come here, you two.”

Hao Yawei turned around and shouted to Ji Ming and Yang Yongnian, who had gone to the other counters.

“What happened?”The two of them came over, a few steps away, and asked Hao Yawei cautiously.They saw Hao Yawei holding the camera in his hand, afraid that he would come up and grab the mark in their hand.

“Lend me 100 marks, can you always help?”Hao Yawei said.

“One hundred?”Yang Yongnian asked.

“A total of 100!”Hao Yawei said with pleasure.

Both of them did not believe, and came forward to ask, I knew that Feng Xiaochen had come up with a good way, from the salesman to hear a discounted sample, for Hao Yawei to save a full 400 marks.At this time, the two people did not hesitate, and quickly gathered 100 marks for Hao Yawei, so that Hao Yawei bought the sample camera.

“Congratulations, the dream has come true!”Feng Xiaochen saluted Hao Yawei, who was happy to be close to his mouth.

"Thank you Xiao Feng, I didn't say, tonight... uh, forget it, or in a few days, I'll ask you three to eat a big German meal!"Hao Yawei promised with joy.
