Chapter 573 - Family affection cannot be measured by price

Bush Sr. lost to Clinton in the election for many reasons, both military and economic, as well as canvassing. One of them relates to the 1991 immigration order.

Minorities, including ethnic Chinese, who have benefited from the immigration order, must have rejoiced.

But the local people in the United States, many people are not happy. They believe that those "black households" will rob the local Americans of jobs after obtaining legal status. It is these people who have the votes because they have American citizenship.

And those stranded international students who have just obtained status through an immigration order have only received green cards, and they have not yet had time to become American citizens, so they do not have a ballot.

Of course, these things are the grievances between Americans and the people who will become Americans. It has little to do with Chen Wen, and it has nothing to do with people in China, that is, it is a lively one.

Another impact brought about by the above incident has a lot to do with Chen Wen!

In his previous life, Chen Wen also read some rebirths, in which the protagonist bought a courtyard house in the imperial capital after he became rich, whether it was worn until 1979, or smashed until 1986, or fell in 1998 or even 2006, in short, as long as he had money, he would buy a courtyard house.

Chen Wen has seen a lot in his previous life, and some of the protagonists almost bought half of the courtyard houses within the second ring road, and the real estate certificate filled the trunk of a car.

These plots make it seem as if the imperial capital courtyard can be bought at will.

Those plot designs are actually unreasonable. Why? Because the Imperial Capital Courtyard House has always been a scarce resource!

The courtyard is not a commercial house, and it will not be put on the market in batches!

Only when the original owner voluntarily gives up the right to live in Sijiu City, will his courtyard house be put into the trading market!

You might as well inquire, after several dynasties, but all those who have obtained the real estate of the imperial city root, how many people will take the initiative to give up their real estate at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

So buying a courtyard house is really not something you can buy immediately if you have the money to buy it! You can occasionally get one or two sets, but it will never happen that a large number of listings appear in front of you very often.

But coincidentally, Chen Wen was able to buy several courtyards at once when he bought a courtyard house. Why? Because it's 1992.

1992 is one of the few years in the history of hundreds of years when the courtyard houses were piled up and put into the trading market! There are also a few years that occurred in the former Qing Dynasty, and the events of that dynasty have nothing to do with Chen Wen's story.

The reason for the large number of courtyard transactions in 1992? Heh, this reason is the immigration order of George H.W. Bush!

Among the 500,000 "black" students stranded in the United States, nearly 300,000 are Chinese students who saved up in the 80s and their family members who accompanied them, defected, and smuggled away, as well as the children they bred in the United States in the past seven or eight years. Among these people, tens of thousands of people are from the old imperial capital.

Among the tens of thousands of imperial capital students and their families, there are a considerable number of people, whose parents' homes are located under the roots of the imperial city in the second ring road. Their properties, a few are complete courtyard houses, and most people's homes are a few rooms in a large courtyard.

These people, taking advantage of the benefits of Bush Sr.'s immigration order, obtained a U.S. green card, so they can reasonably and legally apply for an invitation letter from the U.S. Immigration Service to visit their parents' relatives in the United States.

In 1991 they applied for a family reunion, and in the first half of 1992 the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved such invitations in droves.

The applicant's parents, such as the aunt at the Hongcheng Exit and Entry Administration Office today, said that they had no tendency to immigrate, but in fact, after she and her wife went to the United States in the future, they would definitely stay in the United States to reunite with their son, and the probability of returning to China basically did not exist.

Whether this aunt sold her house in Hongcheng or not, Chen Wen doesn't know for the time being, but in the few examples he encountered before, they were all sold properties.

Chen Wen bought several courtyard houses in the imperial capital. The aunt and uncle of the warm courtyard in the northern section of Nanluoguxiang sold the yard and went to the United States to reunite with their son. Mr. Qin, the original owner of the front yard of the "Fuwangfu" in Jianchang Hutong, was also in this situation, selling his property and going to the United States to join his children.

What is an immigrant tendency?

This kind of thing is definitely harmless to Huaxia. As far as the United States is concerned, although these old people will consume the welfare resources of the United States, the people who pay the bill are not entirely the American authorities, and the lion's share of the cost is the children of the old people.

The price of the courtyard house they sold will increase a hundredfold in the next twenty years. They gave up the opportunity to add value, which is indeed a pity from the perspective of assets, but from the perspective of family affection, it cannot be said that it is a pity.

Because they have been given the opportunity to be reunited with their children.

Twenty years from now, the yards they originally owned will rise to hundreds of millions, billions, but so what? Twenty years later, they will probably all pass away, and no matter how high the housing prices are, it doesn't matter to them.

For these empty nesters, they gave up their real estate in the Imperial City in exchange for a precious life of reuniting with their children in the United States for more than ten or twenty years!

You can't measure family affection by price!

This principle is also common to Chen Wen.

He has now earned more than 10 million from the warrants, which is indeed cool, but this is not the biggest goal of his rebirth. If he failed to save his parents' lives and didn't find his lover Su Qianqian in his previous life, then what's the point of making more money?

In his previous life, Chen Wen had seen a lot of rebirth and crossing, and after many protagonists were developed, there were basically no family dramas and love scenes, just knowing that he was with Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Xiaoteng to point banknotes and passionate stock indexes. The protagonists made trillions of dollars, but their lives with their loved ones and loved ones became dull and dull. Is that kind of reborn life really good, is it really refreshing? The earth can't accommodate them, so they can only be busy thinking about the Martian immigration plan.

Chen Wen sat on the bench, and in addition to seeing the aunt of his son who had defected to the United States, he also met a middle-aged woman.

This woman's situation is slightly different from that of the aunt.

The husband of the middle-aged woman is in the United States, and the materials she brought were invitations to the reunion of the husband and wife.

This invitation letter is not a family visit document, but a real reunification immigration document.

Among the various visas to the United States, this type of marriage reunion application is one of the three most efficient. The other two are business elites and high-tech talents.

Those who apply for a visa with a marriage invitation letter do not have to worry about the immigration officer questioning the applicant's intention to immigrate, because this kind of application is for immigration.

Chen Wen can guess that when the husband of this middle-aged woman was studying abroad, she and he were both young people, and now ten years have passed, and the young woman in her prime has become a middle-aged aunt, but their love still exists, and going to the United States to reunite is their love destination.

Chen Wen blessed this middle-aged woman and her husband on the other side of the ocean from the bottom of his heart.

In addition, there are more than a dozen people like Chen Wen, who come to apply for personal passports with admission invitations from foreign universities, all of whom are big children who look like students. Except for Chen Wen alone, the dozen or so older children came to the Exit and Entry Administration Office to handle business accompanied by their parents.

Of the dozen or so students, half went to the United States, the others were mostly from the United Kingdom, and the last two went to the East.

Chen Wen was the only student to go to France.

As for the University of Versailles, where Chen Wen is about to go, those students and parents said that they have never heard of it.

Chen Wen said that it was a university that had just been established in 1991.

Everyone said that the school, which has only been established for one year, can you rest assured!

In fact, Chen Wen himself is not at ease with the University of Versailles, but his purpose is not the quality of the school, but to get a visa to go to France.

Even if the other party is a French version of Claydon University, Chen Wen doesn't care, as long as he can get a visa.

In line up, Chen Wen handled the photocopies of relevant materials and the taking of passport photos according to the requirements on the on-site leaflet.

At half past ten in the morning, it was finally Chen Wen's turn to line up.

Chen Wen heard his number and hurriedly ran to the window.

A large pile of materials and documents were handed to the police aunt inside from the window.

The police aunt carefully checked and checked the information, and approved Chen Wen's qualifications to apply for a passport.

The next step is to pay the fee, sign a pile of various documents, and complete the recording of the passport signature on the template.

In the end, the police aunt handed a receipt to Chen Wen and said an important message: "After 5 working days, if you come to collect your passport, you must collect it in person." ”

Chen Wen was very happy, originally in his plan, if it was 5 working days to get the certificate, he would stay in Hongcheng, get his passport and return to Shanghai.
