"Brother Biao, here!"

Luo Lubiao stood in the open space in front of the Xinnan checkpoint, looking around boredly, when suddenly someone behind him reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Chaoyang, where did you kid come out, why didn't I see you!" Luo Lubiao turned his head and found that it was his roommate in the dormitory when he was in college, and he couldn't help laughing happily, revealing a few white front teeth.

"I kept honking at you just now, and who knew you didn't react at all, so I had to get out of the car and call you!" Lin Chaoyang said, stretching out his hand and pointing to a white Santana car not far away.

"Hey, you kid is so good, it's only been a long time since you came to the Deep Sea Special Zone, and you've already driven a car, it seems that you're mixing very well!" Luo Lubiao was stunned for a few seconds before he held back a sentence, and the look of shock, envy, and longing in his eyes alternated.

"This car belongs to our manager, I'll borrow it and drive it, so it will be more convenient when I clear customs later!" Lin Chaoyang said in a very flat tone, but the upward curvature at the corner of his mouth still betrayed the smug in his heart at the moment.

"That's not bad, your boss is willing to lend you a car to drive, it seems that you are very important!" Lin Chaoyang picked up his luggage and said with some sighs.

After Lin Chaoyang showed off to his old classmates, he also helped him carry a big bag: "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong industry! Brother Biao, in this place of the Special Economic Zone, as long as you find the right direction of struggle, let alone become a 10,000 yuan household, it is a 100,000 yuan household, and it is not a difficult thing!"

Of course, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a car these days. There are many local tyrants in the Special Economic Zone, but there are really not many who can drive a car by regular means! Those smuggled cars do not dare to enter and exit the checkpoint in such an open manner!"

Don't look at the Santana car jointly produced by Volkswagen and Shanghai Automobile Company, which was put into production and listed a few years ago. But in this era when the traces of the planned economy are still very heavy. Self-employed owners, even if they have money, can't buy a car at all. The current Santana is mainly used as a government official car, and the leaders have not reached a certain level, and they may not be able to sit on Santana.

But the Eastern Group is able to obtain 50 car purchases from the Shenhai municipal government every year. Part of this is used to purchase the group's official cars, and the other is distributed as incentives to employees who need to buy cars.

Because there were only the two of them, Lin Chaoyang didn't bother to open the trunk. Instead, he stuffed his friend's luggage into the back seat.

After Luo Lubiao got into the car, he first looked around very curiously. Then he stared intently at Lin Chaoyang in the driver's seat next to him, watching him lightly turn the steering wheel a few times, and the car obediently began to turn the front of the car.

Not all areas of Shenhai City belong to the Special Zone, in fact, they really fall within the scope of the Special Zone. There are only three districts near Hong Kong: Nanhu, Fushan and Lo Tin. The SEZs are a testing ground for reform and opening up. There are many things that can be tried in capitalism.

However, in order to prevent the impact from spreading all at once if a wrong step is taken, the state has deliberately isolated the SAR with a cement wire wall. The border checkpoint between Shenhaitou and Hong Kong is called a checkpoint. The separation line between the Special Zone and the outside is called the Second Pass.

According to the relevant national policies, only those who hold a border pass issued by a prefecture-level public security organ are allowed to enter the deep-sea special zone through the second pass. However, in the specific implementation of the policy, some openings have also been relaxed. For example, the old deep-sea people who originally lived within the SAR should not let their relatives and friends who live outside the SAR because of this. Even during festivals, weddings and funerals, you can't come in to visit relatives.

So as long as you can let people with deep-sea special zone ID cards go out of the customs to pick them up, even if they don't have a border control card. You can also enter the Special Zone through customs. The checkpoints of the second pass have also created a new business because of this policy.

Luo Lubiao had just stood at the entrance of the Xinnan checkpoint for half an hour when no less than five waves of locals came up to ask if they wanted to take him into the customs. These people's fees are not cheap, and they are only responsible for riding motorcycles to take people from outside the checkpoint to Xinnan Town, which is less than two kilometers away, and they charge 10 yuan.

Luo Lu marked a friend to pick him up, so naturally he didn't have to be slaughtered. But he just observed for a while, with such an unreasonable pig killing price, there are still many people who are willing to be slaughtered!

"Hey, brother, are you going to enter the customs? Can you give me a ride?" Lin Chaoyang had just turned the car, and before he could step on the accelerator to start, suddenly a chubby face appeared outside the glass of the driver's door and asked him.

Lin Chaoyang frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the other party immediately preemptively said: "I can give some more money, you just need to send me to Xinnan Town!"

"Chaoyang, why don't you make money for nothing!" Luo Lubiao in the passenger seat also opened his mouth to persuade.

Lin Chaoyang nodded at this time and motioned for the other party to sit in the back row! This somewhat rich man had no other luggage except for a black briefcase in his hand. As soon as he got into the car, he opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out two large unity sheets from his wallet, and handed them over.

"Boss, thank you so much, this is the gas money for my ride!"

"You're so polite!" Luo Lubiao saw that the other party was so good at doing things, and couldn't help but glance at his friend who was driving seriously. Lin Chaoyang didn't seem to notice the other party's movements, so he had to reach out and take the other party's money with a little embarrassment.

"What do you call the boss, you have too much gas money!" Lin Chaoyang watched his friend help him put the money under the front glass of the car, and finally spoke.

"My surname is Wu, my name is Yousheng, and my friends call me Ah Sheng! I used to call from Xinnan Town and ask the taxi master to come out and pull a trip, at least this price! Today, I would like to thank the two brothers for saving me a lot of time!" Wu Yousheng said politely.

"Big brother, you look a few years older than me, I'll call you Brother Sheng! You find those people who drive a motorcycle in the square and ask them to drag you to Xinnan Town, only ten yuan is enough, but you have spent money in vain today!" Luo Lubiao said with some puzzlement.

"Hehe, brother, you should be the first time to come to the deep sea!" Wu Yousheng shook his head and said. "Those people are not necessarily good people! If you are unlucky enough to run into someone who is short of money, they will directly drag you to a remote place and rob you of all your essence! We are outsiders who are not familiar with the place. You can't even find a place to report a crime!"

"Brother Biao, what this Brother Sheng said is right, the water is deep here! Last year, a news item appeared in the newspaper of the Special Administrative Region that a merchant who had passed through the customs on such an illegal motorcycle was directly dragged to a remote place and murdered because he accidentally revealed his wealth!" Lin Chaoyang also said. Behind the glitz and gloria of the SAR, there are many dirty evils hidden. That's what he didn't want to do just now. Reasons to let strangers hitchhike their own cars.

"Brother Sheng, why do you think that the two of us are good people, aren't you afraid that we will rob you halfway as well!" Although Luo Lubiao was a little shocked, he couldn't help but joke.

"Hey, hey. The Santana of the two brothers looks like a new car that they have just bought, and they can cost 150,000 or 60,000 yuan! You two are much richer than me, and you can look at them. I have these steel hammers in my pocket!" Wu Yousheng praised with a smile.

A Santana from 1987. At least the equivalent of luxury cars such as Porsche and Maserati thirty years later. You must know that in the entire eighties, the Shanghai Automobile Company produced less than 100,000 Santanas. Santana has been in short supply for a long time, and most people who can drive it have a lot of background!

"Did Brother Sheng come to the SAR to do business?" Luo Lubiao asked curiously.

"yes, I'm here to stock up on a batch of video game consoles. If you live in the Special Administrative Region, you must have heard of this new thing!" Wu Yousheng explained.

"Brother Sheng, you seem to be really destined for us, Chaoyang is the developer of video game consoles. Maybe you can take care of their company's business!" Luo Lubiao immediately pointed to his friend in the driver's seat.

"Oh, what a coincidence, to be honest, it's my first time doing this business. I used to tinker with clothes!" Wu Yousheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Brother Sheng, are you going to open your own game hall, or are you going to do wholesale?" Lin Chaoyang was also a little more interested.

"I used to rent a stall in the Baiyun clothing market in Guangdong, and in the past few years, I have been selling clothes from the deep sea to Guangdong, and I have saved a little money! He got this new thing, and as long as he sat comfortably in the store, he made no less money than I did to go back and forth!

I don't know if this kind of video game console is good to buy, and if it breaks down, how can I fix it? If it's really feasible, then I'm ready to give it a go!" Wu Yousheng said very happily what he meant.

"Brother Sheng, since the encounter is fate, let me tell you this! The Hong Kong Oriental Group, where I work, is the world's largest arcade machine manufacturer, with annual sales reaching billions of dollars!

It's just that I'm in the R&D department, and it has nothing to do with the sales department! But our company has an agent in China, called Shenzhen Modern Scientific Instrument Company, you should be able to find it soon if you go to inquire! Passing by, you just opened a game hall by yourself, and the scale of twenty or thirty game consoles is only to die, and I don't know if they are willing to ship it to you directly!

If you can get the game console directly from the modern scientific instrument company, then the price must be the most favorable! If they have arranged a secondary agent in Yuezhou City, then you can only go to the agent in Yuezhou City to get the goods! As for the after-sales aspect, you don't need to worry at all, the business philosophy of our Oriental Group has always been that the customer is God!

Therefore, when we choose partners, we will definitely ask the other party to meet the brand standards of our Oriental Group in terms of after-sales service!"

Lin Chaoyang parked the car at the bus stop in Xinnan Town and specially explained a few words before Wu Yousheng left. After that, he drove Luo Lubiao back to his residence. Because he took half a day off today, Lin Chaoyang was not in a hurry to rush back to work, but started chatting with his roommate who he hadn't seen for several years!

"Chaoyang, this is the dormitory provided by your company, the conditions are too good, right?" Luo Lubiao felt a little dizzy from the moment he walked into the dormitory building.

Upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones! This is the beautiful vision of most Chinese in the 80s for living conditions! Now most of the dormitories of domestic enterprises provide the kind of large shops for several people. Units with better conditions may have the kind of tube building that has one room per person. But in this kind of building, except for a large room, it is impossible to have a special kitchen and bathroom!

Although Lin Chaoyang's dormitory is also shared, it is a large suite with four bedrooms and two living rooms. Each of the four people who share a bedroom has a separate bedroom with a balcony, and then everyone shares the kitchen and bathroom, and the living room is divided into a dining room and a living room.

Luo Lubiao took a turn around and found that washing machines, TVs, refrigerators, and other electrical appliances that are difficult for ordinary people to buy are all missing, and it feels like living in paradise!

"Brother Biao, don't smack your lips anymore! I told you a long time ago that our company's conditions are very superior, now you can believe it!" Lin Chaoyang took out two bottles of orange soda from the refrigerator and handed one to Luo Lubiao.

"Your company's treatment is so good, the recruitment requirements must be very high!" Luo Lubiao suddenly became a little unconfident.

"Brother Biao, according to our company's standard for recruiting original artists, your painting skills are naturally more than enough! But when you apply for the job next, you should pay special attention to one point, the products developed by our company are games, not oil paintings! Original artists need to draw according to the requirements of game planners, not according to their own style!

In the past, when our company interviewed, most of the people who were eliminated were because they failed to get out of the identity of painters, and they always had to show their artistic ideas during the interview. In fact, it is definitely an advantage that you come from Huhai Art Studio, because many of the games developed by our company are of all ages.

For example, some of the original drawings of the Pokémon game I sent you earlier, although they are all scrapped manuscripts, if you read them carefully, you should be able to catch some clues!" Lin Chaoyang said in a serious tone.

He and Luo Lubiao are both graduates of the Oil Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Huhai University, the first batch of graduates after the reform and opening up. The 80s were the spring of literature and art, but for those who studied painting, it was far less popular than literature. Graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts have relatively narrow employment channels.

The two people in the same dormitory when they were studying, Luo Lubiao, who had better grades, stayed in Huhai and was assigned to Huhai Art Studio. Luo Lubiao, who had worse grades, was assigned back to his hometown of eastern Guangdong Province to work in an art publishing house in Yuezhou City.

At the end of last year, Oriental Game Company decided to set up a branch in China to recruit graduates at the Yuezhou Academy of Fine Arts. Lin Chaoyang, who heard the news, went to find the person in charge of Dongyou Company as soon as possible, hoping that he could also participate in the application!

And he successfully persuaded the person in charge of Dongyou Company to get the opportunity to participate in the interview, and he was admitted to Dongyou Company as expected. After Lin Chaoyang entered the Dongyou Company to work, he immediately found that he seemed to have entered a new world. (To be continued.) )
