Chapter 3: Hong Kong
The price of 5000 yuan is not very expensive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Qi negotiated the price with Huang Zili and paid a deposit of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars. After the matter is completed, the remaining 3,000 yuan will be paid in Hong Kong.
Huang Zili was also very neat, and after receiving the deposit, he quickly contacted a Hong Kong businessman who had invested one million yuan in Shenzhen, and asked the Hong Kong businessman to issue an invitation letter in the name of the company.
"Is it really okay?" Lin Qi doubted.
"It's okay, we brought it safely, not a hundred but eighty, and there was not a single failure. Huang Zili said confidently, "Pluck up courage and don't think that we are smuggling." Instead, he went to Hong Kong to investigate in an upright and legal manner. As long as you don't show any flaws, the whole process is foolproof!"
Lin Qi said secretly, if I am unlucky, I happen to become an example of failure?
Playing cards with Huang Zili and waiting at the hotel, half an hour later, a Hong Kong businessman drove to pick up the two. After seeing the two of them, they just nodded and didn't say any nonsense. I drove directly to the Luohu police station, and at the police station, the Hong Kong businessman called the local officials in Shenzhen, and after a few phone calls, the matter was done!
The police officers at the police station were full of respect for Lin Qi and others.
In this era, those who invested overseas in China were all uncles, and the scale of investment in the early days of reform and opening up was not large, and some small bosses in Hong Kong who did not have a lot of assets were able to enjoy super-national privileges when they invested in the mainland.
Lin Qi carefully submitted the forged household registration book and photos, and successfully handled the pass on the spot.
Soon after, the Hong Kong businessman drove Lin Qi from the Luohu port to Hong Kong in a car. A simple check-in, and then, there is a thrilling clearance.
After being sent to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong businessmen turned around and returned to Shenzhen.
However, with the help of Huang Zili, a local snake, Lin Qi arrived in the urban area of the Kowloon Peninsula without any twists and turns, and then entered the police station to apply for an ID card.
Since I had just arrived in Hong Kong, my identity card was stamped with a green seal.
After seven years of staying, you can get a black stamp.
Getting the ID card so easily also surprised Lin Qi. In Hong Kong in this era, it's too childish to apply for an ID card, right?
"How about it? I said there is no risk at all, right?" Huang Zili said triumphantly.
In fact, in this era, it is not easy to smuggle into Hong Kong to obtain legal status, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult to say.
The key is to break through the barriers - the risk of smuggling is extremely high, and even if you do, it is difficult to obtain legal status without the help of local relatives and acquaintances.
Of course, for the poor who have no access and connections, smuggling is a gamble. If your fate is bad, who is to blame?
But for those who are willing to spend money, there is a safer route to Hong Kong.
As long as you blend into the city of Hong Kong, you can easily get a legal Hong Kong ID card in this era. Of course, just an ID card, Hong Kong in this era is a low-welfare area, with a legal identity, and can not enjoy any benefits, to survive in Hong Kong, it is still completely dependent on their own hard work.
Lin Qi put the temporary ID card in his pocket, and with this temporary ID, even if he was interrogated by the police, he would not be repatriated. After 10 days, the official documents are produced before you can find a job in Hong Kong.
"Brother Li, good people help me to the end, for the time being, I have no place to stay in Hong Kong, introduce me a place to live, and I will pay the rent!" Lin Qi handed over the remaining 3,000 yuan to Huang Zili, and added another 500 yuan.
Seeing this, Huang Zili couldn't help but feel good, and he was quite sensible!
"I can't help you, let's live in my house first and move out within a week!" Huang Zili considered that he had already made a lot of money from Lin Qi not long ago, so he was not too stingy. Subsequently, Huang Zili drove Lin Qi to his home, and instructed on the way, "Meet my family, don't say that I will take your money to help you smuggle you." Remember, you are my old cousin from the mainland, come to Hong Kong to look for a job, live in my house temporarily, and move out when you find a job!
"Understood!" Lin Qi realized that Huang Zili was hiding from his family.
After all, this kind of thing is not legal on either the mainland side or the Hong Kong side. It's just that the people don't hold officials accountable, and they just make a little money by exploiting the loopholes in the policies of the two places.
Of course, Huang Zili's business will not last long.
……
Lin Qi and Huang Zili's car came to Huang's house.
After Huang Zili arrived home, he introduced his family and said: "This is my cousin's cousin in the mainland, he just came to Hong Kong, and he has not yet found a job, so he will live in my house for a few days temporarily, and he will move ......out when he finds a job."
"The family is so small, I can't live in the first place, and I let my relatives in the countryside of the mainland live in? How many relatives do you have in the mainland? A middle-aged woman complained.
"Isn't there no way to do it? When my relatives come, don't they help? Besides, I make money on the mainland, and I have to rely more on my fellow villagers and friends to take care of me. Without them, can I earn 10,000 yuan a month now?" Huang Zili said, handing over a stack of Hong Kong dollars in his arms to the woman, and smiled at Lin Qi, "Your cousin, she has a mean mouth, but she is actually quite good. Back then, I owed a lot of debt, and I would have run away if I had been someone else. It turned out that your cousin sold her dowry and helped me recover. ”
"Hello cousin, I've been in trouble with you during this time...... Lin Qi took out a large bill of 200 Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it into the "cousin" as living expenses.
Seeing this, Huang Zili's wife looked a lot kinder and said, "It's all a family, how can I let you give money." ”
Having said that, Huang's "cousin" pretended to be humble, but still put away the money, and her attitude became a little kinder, and she went downstairs to buy braised vegetables in the evening and entertained Lin Qi.
Huang Zili's family has a rather "compact" living area, with a family of 5. Including Huang Zili's wife and three children, they live in a public housing of less than 40 square meters.
"Cousin" Zheng Suqin works as a cashier in a supermarket during the day, with a monthly salary of only 1,002. "Uncle Cousin" Huang Zili's job is to purchase fresh vegetables and meat for the supermarket, and he goes to the mainland every three days, and his job only earns more than 2,000 per month.
Originally, the income of the two of them was enough to buy a house and the monthly payment, but because the three children in the family were studying, the expenses of the family were not small, so they did not dare to make up their minds to buy a house with a mortgage.
Huang Zili made a fortune on the mainland, and only said to his family that he would earn Hong Kong dollars and renminbi and earn a little more. As for helping people smuggle people, I don't dare to say anything about it.
"Uncle Cousin, your current income, buying a house should be about the same, right?" Lin Qi felt that although the current housing prices in Hong Kong were expensive, they did not have to pay the full amount.
In fact, in the 50s, there was a business model of "speculation" in Hong Kong, where only a 5% deposit was required, and then, with the property rights of the house as collateral, a loan was obtained from the bank, and the monthly mortgage was repaid. Wait until the mortgage is fully repaid to have the full ownership of the property.
In the 70s, real estate developers and banks saw a strong demand for buying a house, and even launched a model of selling houses with zero down payment. If ordinary citizens grit their teeth and save money and spend most of their income on housing, there is still hope that they can afford it.
"Wait, Hong Kong's housing prices have doubled in less than two years, and if they continue to rise like this, they will definitely collapse, and it's not too late to buy them when the crash dives." Moreover, buying a house now is either to pay in full or not to buy it. Paying interest in installments is too expensive, more than 12% per annum. Tired and tired, they all work for the bank. Zheng Suqin muttered, "Housing prices are rising so fast, how can ordinary office workers afford it, it will definitely collapse!"
In fact, the price increase in Hong Kong's property market is rare in the world, and between the 50s and the end of the 70s, Hong Kong's house prices increased by about 200 times.
If we count it again in the 21st century, it will have to continue to rise by twenty or thirty times. In other words, after World War II and by the beginning of the 20th century, Hong Kong's housing prices increased by more than four or five thousand times.
Overall, it has continued to rise.
Of course, there are times when there is a crash, for example, in 82~84, there was a wave of tragic property market crash in Hong Kong, and house prices fell by more than 90% at most. At that time, a considerable number of Hong Kong's wealthy and middle-class people were pessimistic about Hong Kong's future prospects, so they looked for ways to emigrate, and panicked to sell houses at low prices.
At that time, Lin Qi doubted whether the "cousin" had the courage to buy a house.
