Chen Yiyang was always bad at naming things.

Now he needed to rename the live streaming company, but he hadn't been satisfied with any of the names he came up with.

This wasn't urgent, though, so Chen Yiyang asked Liu Xiaoyue to draft a few new names over the next few days, and they'd finalize it after he returned from Russia.

Russia currently has a visa-free policy for Huaxia, but it's only applicable to tour group travelers.

So he still had to apply for a visa to go to Russia. Fortunately, there's now an electronic signature process, which is quite convenient.

Chen Yiyang simply applied for a business visa and then flew to Russia with the small accountant and Natasha.

They smoothly arrived in Moscow.

Gena brought a convoy to pick up Chen Yiyang.

"I underestimated you before." Chen Yiyang was somewhat surprised at Gena's display.

He had previously thought Gena was just an ordinary small-time rich kid.

But he hadn't expected such a grand setup.

"Haha, I owe this to you." Gena patted Chen Yiyang's shoulder and said, "My grandfather thinks highly of me now. I'm no longer just reliant on running a karaoke bar for money."

"Impressive." Chen Yiyang hadn't realized that Gena could not only break his family's old trap of Gold Coins but that his grandfather could do it too.

After having closed several good deals with Chen Yiyang, Gena successfully caught his wealthy grandfather's attention.

Now, he's quite a significant figure in Russia.

Gena initially wanted to invite Chen Yiyang to stay at his family's villa, but Chen Yiyang declined.

He preferred the freedom of staying at a hotel.

After resting for a night, Chen Yiyang woke up the next morning.

He glanced at his phone.

Today's intelligence, clay guardian beast: Moscow flea market. A pair of clay guardian beasts from the Tang Dynasty are for sale here; if bought, it could be considered a successful bargain.

The photos and location of the related items are attached on the second page.

Antiques from the Tang Dynasty have ended up in Moscow?

After reading today's intelligence, Chen Yiyang didn't rush out but instead asked Natasha to call Gena to inquire when they would discuss business.

Gena responded it would be tonight.

So Chen Yiyang and Natasha left for the Moscow flea market.

The city of Moscow.

Honestly, it doesn't have much character.

If one wants to understand the true cultural architecture of Russia, they should visit St. Petersburg.

Moscow, aside from the central Kremlin area, mostly consists of low-rise buildings that look monotonous.

It's quite in line with people's stereotypes of Soviet architecture.

However, the Russian people on the streets here have distinct characteristics.

Women enjoy smoking by the street, while men prefer drinking.

Since Natasha was with him, and Chen Yiyang wanted to experience Moscow's local customs.

So he had his hired security team follow behind them in the car.

They, however, took a taxi to the flea market.

Using the well-known ride-sharing app Yandex.

Chen Yiyang hadn't expected the app to offer ride-sharing. Back in Huaxia, he mostly used it as a search engine.

It's one of the rare search engines not blocked in Huaxia, allowing one to search all sorts of content.

Soon enough, Chen Yiyang arrived at Moscow's largest flea market.

He was immediately struck by its vast scale.

This flea market is located inside a building that looks like a religious site, and it's called The Ant.

The flea market sells almost everything, filled with old items and junk accumulated over unknown centuries.

To avoid seeming conspicuous, Chen Yiyang honestly started browsing from the front of the market.

The first things he saw were many shops and stalls selling furs.

Chen Yiyang wasn't very interested in these, but Natasha liked them.

In Russia, fur is very cheap, and it's all genuine.

After all, Russia originally prospered by selling furs to Europe.

Natasha picked out two fur scarves she liked, one for herself and one for the small accountant back home.

Seeing this, Chen Yiyang took the initiative to pay.

Then, with Natasha still reluctant to leave, wishing to pick out more items, they left the area.

Besides furs, the flea market also sold many badges and commemorative medals.

Among them, the most common were various World War II medals, badges, soldiers' honor medals, certificates, and such.

Chen Yiyang wanted to buy a few to take back and add to his collection.

However, after the Soviet Union's collapse, struggling old veterans began selling the various medals they obtained during World War II.

Many immediately realized these items were particularly appealing to foreigners.

And so began large-scale counterfeiting.

After all, authentic World War II veterans' medals are limited, and many veterans wouldn't sell their hard-earned medals unless in dire circumstances.

Virtually every visitor to Russia would be interested in Soviet soldiers' honor medals or related products.

Rather than searching everywhere for genuine ones to sell to tourists, it was simpler to just manufacture fakes.

These counterfeit medals and various World War II memorabilia have become a notable tourist specialty in Moscow.

But Russians do enjoy casting various commemorative medals, which include not only war-related ones but also school badges, architectural commemorative medals, and commemorative medals for various events.

Chen Yiyang selected a few with designs he liked and decades-old history to purchase.

These small commemorative medals cost about two to three hundred Rubles each, equivalent to RMB twenty to thirty yuan, not expensive.

Chen Yiyang was also interested in a Soviet Technology Day in Huaxia 1988 commemorative badge.

However, the vendor, seeing that Chen Yiyang was from Huaxia, quoted a price of one thousand Rubles right away.

Which converts to nearly RMB one hundred.

Chen Yiyang thought it was a bit pricey.

So he opened his phone to search and found out such badges are sold for just dozens of yuan in Huaxia.

He promptly gave it up.

Walking further,

Chen Yiyang saw many stalls selling old suitcases, old tableware, and old furniture.

These stalls indeed sold items with several decades or even over a hundred years of history.

Although these items were also mass-produced industrially back then,

they are distinct old items.

Natasha became interested in a set of tableware and some jewelry.

Those items weren't expensive, but surely inconvenient to carry.

Finding no other option, Chen Yiyang had to call their security team and asked some members to come and directly move the bought items to the car.

Chen Yiyang walked a few steps and noticed some stalls selling old Soviet coins.

The prices were very cheap, and they were clearly stated, so Chen Yiyang patiently selected a few to buy.

"These ornaments are good-looking, aren't they? I'll give you one."

While Chen Yiyang was buying coins, Natasha purchased some ornaments that looked like they were made from pressings of large animals and walked over.
