Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth-Chapter 44 - Having Great Courage_1
Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Having Great Courage_1
Chapter 44 -44 Having Great Courage_1
On Saturday, everyone was off.
However, Wang Ye had prearranged plans with his cousin Ruan Xiaozhu. They were to visit the main building dormitory at Moscow University to familiarize themselves with the place.
Then, they were to go shopping together and buy some decent clothes.
Last night, Ruan Xiaozhu had called him and said she had already found another distributor for him, who lives in the Moscow University dormitory area.
And just like them, this distributor was from their hometown, but she was a girl.
She suggested Wang Ye to carry more phone cards with him, because not only the girl would take a batch of cards, but because Ruan Xiaozhu also almost ran out of phone cards for sale. So, she needed to have some in reserve.
Of course, Wang Ye agreed. He had just gotten a batch from Liu Jun, which was still in his wallet.
On Saturday morning, Wang Ye got up early.
After neatly washing and eating something, he put his coat on and went out.
He took a taxi again, as the distance from Friendship University to the main building of Moscow University wasn’t far, and the fare was just two hundred rubles.
Wang Ye was undoubtedly influenced by his “past life”, implying that he was just a poor student with limited money and his family’s situation was not very good either.
He should have taken the bus or the subway instead of easily taking a taxi, which was too extravagant!
However, Wang Ye now believed that his time was more important. He would rather spend more money on taking a taxi than wasting his time taking the bus or subway.
Another reason for that was that being a “foreigner”, taking the bus or subway in Russia wasn’t safe…
Not to mention the notorious Bald Head party, even encountering a Grey dog could be a problem.
Taking a taxi was more convenient!
………..
Today was a rare sunny day.
The sun was hanging in the sky, reflecting dazzling radiance on the snow, but the temperature was even colder than on snowy days…
They quickly arrived at the main building of Moscow University on Sparrow Mountain.
The status of Moscow University in Russia was probably even higher than that of Tsinghua and Peking University in China!
After all, Tsinghua and Peking University were competing with each other in China.
In Russia, however, no other institution was qualified to compete with Moscow University!
Especially before 2001, Moscow University had a place in the world’s prestigious universities.
In the so-called world-class university rankings issued by various authoritative organizations, Moscow University was usually within the worldwide top twenty or even top ten, while Tsinghua and Peking University were still striving to enter the top one hundred…
Compared with the inconspicuous main building of Friendship University, the main campus of Moscow University itself was a famous scenic spot in Russia!
The main building was a magnificent and majestic European-style palace-like architecture!
It was 240 meters high and consisted of 37 floors, containing over 6000 rooms.
It was entirely built of stone and remained robust after enduring many years of wind and rain, only the mottled exterior indicated its aging.
The reputation of this main building was not to be underestimated.
This was a project that had been personally supervised by Comrade Stalin. The stone used were specially selected, and a mysterious material was added to the concrete.
It was believed that this building could hardly be demolished using conventional means!
Wang Ye had been here many times before, so he was naturally familiar with this environment.
He instructed the black-haired driver to drive to the east gate, paid the fare, and got out of the car.

At the security room by the gate, he showed his student ID and explained that he was visiting a friend, and he was allowed in.
The management here was very strict. The student ID card had to be left at the security room. He could collect it back when he left, which should be before eleven o’clock in the evening, and no overnight stays were allowed…
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his phone rang. At the same time, he heard someone calling his name not far away.
Wang Ye looked up and saw his cousin Ruan Xiaozhu standing at the entrance of the dormitory, waving her arms at him.
………..
The dormitory at Moscow University was different from that of Friendship University, with much better conditions.
Here, all the rooms were suites, each consisting of two bedrooms and one bathroom, one person per bedroom, which means single rooms!
It was equivalent to building number 13 at Friendship University.
Of course, the dormitory rooms here were rather small, as they were constructed five or six decades ago.
But it was very comfortable for one person.
Ruan Xiaozhu lived on the 18th floor. She took Wang Ye to the elevator, intending to take it up.
The elevators here were different from China. The interiors were decorated with wood, and there was a Russian elderly woman specifically operating the elevator.
“The eighteenth floor, thank you,” said Ruan Xiaozhu politely.
The elderly woman casually pressed the button for the 18th floor, but she didn’t start right away. Instead, she waited for a few minutes and didn’t start the elevator until it was filled with seven or eight people.
Upon arriving at the eighteenth floor and stepping out of the elevator, Wang Ye looked around.
The style here was similar to the dormitory of Friendship University, but the corridors were much longer.
If someone was not familiar with Moscow University, they could get lost in this massive dormitory complex…
Ruan Xiaozhu took Wang Ye to her dormitory room, saying while opening her door, “Yanzi is our fellow townsperson and in the same class as me. She lives in the division dormitory. I talked to her about the phone cards a few days ago. She is very interested and also wants to be a distributor. She’s here today, so you two can have a chat.”
As soon as she opened the door, Ruan Xiaozhu called out, “Yanzi, my cousin is here.”
A girl was reading a book on her bed. Hearing Ruan Xiaozhu’s call, she immediately got up. Apparently, this was Yanzi.
“You two chat, we still have to go shopping later. Oh, and Wang Ye, give me some more cards, the same amount as last time is fine. I suppose I’ll need you to deliver more cards next week. Maybe I’ll ask for more next time, but I don’t have much cash on hand right now. I’ve been storing my money in the bank, and I’m too lazy to go withdraw it,” said Ruan Xiaozhu.
She had almost sold out all her cards and made over a hundred US dollars in just less than a week.
Although the money was not a lot, it was better than working in the big market.
But it was not bad, after all, it wasn’t tiring and she didn’t need to get up at four or five in the morning to go to the big market, then stand in the freezing cold all day!
Wang Ye nodded, pulled out his wallet and counted ten cards worth a hundred US dollars each and twenty cards valued at fifty US dollars each and handed them to Ruan Xiaozhu, then he received the money for the cards, which amounted to sixteen hundred US dollars.
After dealing with Ruan Xiaozhu, Wang Ye sat down and looked at Yanzi.
It seemed that Yanzi was rather introverted and a little restrained in Wang Ye’s presence.
She sat on the edge of her bed, sneaking a peek at Wang Ye. When she noticed that Wang Ye was looking at her, she quickly lowered her head.
Wang Ye smiled, “So you are Yanzi, my cousin probably already told you about the phone cards, right?”
Yanzi nodded and said softly, “She told me everything about it. Actually, there are even more Chinese students staying in the division dormitory because the accommodation fee there are cheaper. So… So I want to take more cards back to sell.”
This was good news, and Wang Ye had no reason to oppose, so he asked, “What quantity do you want for your first batch?”
“Well…, I want twice the quantity that Xiaozhu got,” was Yanzi’s swift reply. Obviously, she had already thought about this figure.
Wang Ye was surprised. He hadn’t thought this reserved-looking girl would be so audacious.
She wanted over three thousand US dollars worth of phone cards in one go?
Was she not afraid of being stuck with a surplus?
