Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

In the supermarket, Ajielina was just about to push the shopping cart towards the food and beverage area when Wang Ye stopped her.

Raising his chin, Wang Ye gestured: "Go over there first. I remember you said that your dad likes to drink?"

Indeed, in Russia, men who don’t like to drink are rare…

Agelina nodded, "Yes, he drinks a little every night."

"Then let's go buy him some bars." Wang Ye said.

Ajielina was a little surprised. She was about to ask Wang Ye why he bought wine for her father, but Wang Ye had already explained it in advance.

"In our country, when a girl's boyfriend visits her home for the first time, he must bring a gift to the girl's family. This is a etiquette."

He really wasn't talking nonsense. In China, if you dare to go to your girlfriend's house without bringing a gift, you can imagine what will happen...

Not to mention anything else, the comment "this kid is ignorant" is definitely gone.

The value of a gift is determined by your personal financial situation. Parents of girls may not force it, but whether to bring it or not is a matter of attitude!

When Ajielina heard this, she nodded understandingly and said nothing.

The two of them walked to the drinks area.

The wine section of this supermarket is quite large, and you can basically find all the better brands on the market here.

When mentioning vodka, the first thing people may think of is "Absolut Vodka", thinking it is a Russian brand.

But in fact, no, Absolut Vodka is a Swedish brand that was later acquired by a French company.

However, Absolut Vodka is also very common in Russia and has a high reputation.

In addition, the best-selling vodka brands here include "Crown", "Morosa", "Red Label" and "Standard".

To be honest, the price of vodka is not expensive, and the alcohol content is not high, only 40 degrees.

This is far behind the domestic liquors that often have over 50 degrees of alcohol content.

Looking at the dazzling array of vodkas in front of the shelves, Wang Ye was a little dazzled. He didn't like to drink liquor, nor did he like to drink vodka, whether in this life or in the previous life.

So I don’t know much about vodka.

He asked Ajielina: "What kind of drink does your father like to drink?"

Agelina spread her hands and said with a smile: "He likes to drink cheap wine. That kind of wine is basically not available in Moscow."

She was obviously joking. She was probably not willing to buy expensive vodka because of her financial situation, so she could only drink cheap vodka from a small brand.

However, the vodkas all taste similar. They are both distilled spirits and both have 40 degrees.

In this case, Wang Ye knows how to choose.

It’s definitely a good idea to choose the expensive one!

………………

The arrangement of drinks on the shelves is also regular. From bottom to top, the prices become more and more expensive.

Wang Ye stood on tiptoe and took a look. The wine here was basically more than four to five hundred rubles, which was considered high-end vodka.

He directly moved a box of Crown Vodka down and put it in the shopping cart.

This box contains eight bottles, each bottle is one liter!

In Russia, a lot of wine comes in one liter or 1.5 liter bottles.

The box of wine that Wang Ye moved cost more than 600 rubles per bottle and 5,000 rubles per box.

Agelina was stunned by this. She was stunned for a long time before asking: "Are you crazy? Why did you buy so much wine? We all buy one bottle."

Here, the differences between China and Russia are reflected again.

In China, gifts and the like are usually given in even numbers, which means "good things come in pairs".

But in Russia, only odd numbers can be sent!

However, if Wang Ye buys a box, it can be counted as an odd amount.

Wang Ye waved his hand and said with a smile: "In our place, if you bring a bottle of wine, you will be kicked out. It comes in boxes."

Well, there are cultural differences again, Agelina has nothing to say...

Buying a gift for Agelina's father is easy, just buy wine if you like drinking, but buying a gift for her mother is a headache.

Wang Ye doesn’t know what the old Russian lady likes...

Just ask Agelina for her opinion.

Agelina thought for a moment and said, "Just buy a box of chocolates. Here, if you don't know what gift to bring to someone else's house, then bring flowers and chocolates. That's right."

Wang Ye shook his head, chocolate?

It’s not like you’re fooling children, that’s too shabby!

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do your parents have mobile phones?"

"Father has it, mother has not." Agelina replied.

"That's easy. Buy her a mobile phone as a gift. This will make it easier for you to contact your family in the future." Wang Ye said with a smile.

"No! It's too expensive, so don't buy it." Agelina waved her hand quickly.

But it was clear that her objections were ineffective.

I bought some snacks and drinks to eat on the way.

Wang Ye directly took her to the store where he bought a mobile phone last time.

Although he was rich now, Wang Ye did not go too far and did not choose an expensive mobile phone. He just asked the clerk to bring over two Nokia 3310s, the same ones he and Ajielina used.

etc……

Why two!

Agelina discovered the problem again.

"One for your mother and one for your sister-in-law." Wang Ye explained matter-of-factly.

He thought this was good, and he solved the gift problem with just a few dollars.

And the other person will definitely like it.

"Nova is still a child and can't use a mobile phone!" Agelina objected.

"Nova" is naturally the name of Agelina's sister.

She is only in her senior year of high school this year, and in Ajielina's eyes, she is still a little kid.

Think about when Ajielina and Wang Ye first met, she had already graduated from college and started working, and she hadn’t bought a mobile phone yet.

What kind of mobile phone does a high school student in Nova use?

Wang Ye shook his head and said: "She will go to university soon and come to Moscow to study. It is always more convenient to have a mobile phone. If you want to contact us or your family for anything, it is very simple."

This reason made Agelina unable to refute.

If you are not short of money, there is really no problem in buying a mobile phone.

At that time, mobile phones were definitely just communication tools and did not have any entertainment functions...

The problem was that she felt that Wang Ye spent too much money, which was a bit unacceptable.

Wang Ye is very rich now, and Ajielina also knows this.

She is Wang Ye's girlfriend. If Wang Ye buys him some gifts or something, or if Wang Ye pays for the living expenses of the two of them, that's fine.

But if she spends too much money on her own home, Agelina feels it is wrong...

Maybe this is the difference in concepts between Europeans and Americans and Chinese people.

…………

But in the end, seeing Wang Ye paying for the phone directly, Ajielina did not continue to object.

He just warned him: "I know, you will say that this is Chinese etiquette again. Forget it this time, because it is your first time to go to my house. But in the future, you must not buy too expensive gifts for my family. That way Not only would I mind, but maybe my family would also mind.”

Wang Ye was a little speechless. Is there anyone who doesn't like others giving gifts?
