Chapter 22: Liao Chengde's Great Name

Worries about the domestic political environment and the government's attitude towards those who got rich first made Zhong Shi have no confidence in his heart. The most important thing is that all his wealth is gathered in his father's name, and if the government wants to do anything to him, it will not be his stinky child who will bear the brunt, but his father who has kept everything in the dark.

Now that the wood is in the boat, it's too late to regret it! The only thing that could be done was to hide the news as much as possible, and at worst until '92, when a certain super-heavyweight politician put an end to the battle over the economic line.

In his previous life, although Zhong Shi had lived abroad and Hong Kong for many years, he still had a little understanding of the major events that happened in China. In mainland China, the tentacles of politics have penetrated into every corner of social life, and after the return of Hong Kong, to a certain extent, it has also been influenced by the mainland, and people's enthusiasm for politics is obviously much higher than that of the British colonial period.

The father and son in the guest room fell silent for a while, Zhong Jianjun obviously would not be fooled by Zhong Shi's few words of understatement and comfort on this issue, he didn't even have the heart to watch "Shooting the Condor" on TV, and after frowning and thinking for a long time, he slammed the head of the bed angrily: "What the hell is this world, you have to be afraid to even make some money!" It's not stolen and robbed! ”

"Dad, aren't we a little worried? Besides, not many people know about it now! ”

Zhong Shi's eyes widened, pretending to be innocent. In his mind, he also did not understand the current economic policy. In this big era, being able to make money has become a burden.

The father and son discussed in a low voice for a long time, and decided not to publicize this matter first, and to push all the changes on Liao Chengde, no matter how powerful the domestic public security organs are, it is impossible to cross the border to Hong Kong to arrest people!

By the time the two discussed the countermeasures, it was already late at night, and Zhong Jianjun and Zhong Shi fell asleep with a full stomach.

The next day, at the reception of the largest China Travel Service in Nandu, the receptionist at the front desk looked at a father and son in front of him, with a formulaic smile on his face, but he was a little unimpressed in his heart.

In these years, there are not many people who want to travel to Hong Kong, but it is not none, after all, the southern capital is also one of the top ten big cities in mainland China. However, if you want to go to Hong Kong, in addition to a lot of cumbersome procedures, there is also a limit on the number of places, if there are many applicants, you have to wait in line, and some people may not be approved for more than a year.

In addition to these, there are visas and immigration control, even if you get a passport, it is difficult to get a visa, but tourist visas are relatively less difficult.

This pair of rusticly dressed fathers and sons, holding letters from relatives in Hong Kong and foreign exchange vouchers, want to participate in this year's tour group to Hong Kong, looking at the materials in their hands, they are obviously prepared, it seems that this pair of local buns know quite a lot. But so what, if you can't pass the visa level, everything will be in vain!

"You can leave the copies of the materials here, and I'll let you know if there's any news!"

The female receptionist closed the Qiong Yao novel in her hand and said expressionlessly. She hadn't seen much of this situation, but she could still imagine what kind of expression the visa officer would have.

"Are you worried about visas?"

The little boy's dark eyes rolled and he said what the receptionist was thinking.

"Kid, do you know the visa passport too?"

The receptionist in charge of the reception was stunned, unable to believe what he heard. When she reacted, she couldn't help but ask in surprise and joy. If this kid could be so clever in front of the visa officer, then the chances of passing would be a few points higher.

In this era, it is not the travel agency to apply for a visa, but the person of the travel agency brings the guest to the visa officer, and only the guests who have passed the visa can join the group, and the others can only say sorry!

"Auntie, do you think that's it?"

Zhong Shi took out a small green notebook from his arms, which was Zhong Jianjun's passport, the female receptionist took the passport, opened it and saw that a big "PASS" was very conspicuous.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The receptionist was a little dumbfounded, she looked at it carefully over and over again, and made sure that it was a genuine passport, and the signature on it was a certain visa officer she was familiar with, so she couldn't believe it!

For visa officers, travel agencies are the most troublesome, especially the staff in charge of the Hong Kong line, and they hate the old-fashioned British. The staff of the travel agency privately use words such as "eating the old" and "not knowing how to change" to describe the visa officer, and thanks to these arrogant and old-fashioned Britons, the Hong Kong line of the travel agency can only be described as bleak.

The countryman in front of him, who was dressed as a half-peasant, actually got a visa without knowing it, how could he not surprise this reception lady?

In fact, Zhong Shi only chatted with the visa officer in English for a long time, and then chatted in Cantonese for a long time, and then took out the deposit certificate at HSBC and showed it to the visa officer who was already smiling, and the visa officer happily pressed "PASS" on the passport.

"Wait a minute, I'll check for you if there are any tour groups to Hong Kong in September!"

The reception lady was obviously enthusiastic, and even brought two cups of steaming boiling water to Zhong Shi and his son, and a few tea leaves were scattered in the glass.

For this kind of customers who can get their own visas, travel agencies are undoubtedly very welcome. This means that travel agents do not have to spend time and effort on visa officers and can receive large fees.

"Mr. Zhong, there is a Hong Kong and Macao tour group in September, but it may be a bit long......"

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the reception lady came out of the house, holding a large pile of documents in her hand, and said apologetically to the Zhong father and son who were waiting in the lobby.

"It's a long time, I just like to play for a while!"

Zhong Jianjun glanced at Zhong Shi and saw Zhong Shi nod slightly, so he was relieved.

For Zhong Jianjun, who is going abroad for the first time, the visa process is simply a smear in his eyes and he doesn't understand anything. He only saw Zhong Shi and the blue-eyed foreigner talking a lot, and the foreigner happily stamped a seal on his passport. He also had doubts about Zhong Shi's ability to speak foreign languages, but when he thought of his cousin who was in college, he took it for granted that he liked to teach Zhong Shi to speak English without them knowing.

But the truth is, some of the colloquialisms that Zhong Yi taught were still taught by Zhong Shi!

"This tour takes about a month, and you can visit both Hong Kong and Macau at the same time, but the cost is ......."

The reception lady patiently explained. This year, most of the people who go to Hong Kong and Macao are visiting relatives, so travel agencies will arrange a longer time appropriately. In her opinion, if the father and son can get a visa from the UK, then it will not be much of a problem to pass the visa from Portugal.

In this era, Macau's casinos have become famous, attracting great attraction in the country's emerging wealthy circles, and travel agencies have duly opened routes to Macau among people traveling to Hong Kong. In fact, you can stay in Hong Kong for a whole month, and you can not go to Macau if you want.

"There is a question, that is, we want to stay in Hong Kong for a month, I don't know if we can?"

Zhong Shi said suddenly. He naturally knows this trick of the travel agency, and he naturally wants to see a casino in Macau, but with his honest father, he will only lose a lot of money when he enters the casino. As for him, he is still a child, he can enter the casino, but he can't get on the table.

"This... I need to ask the leader ......"

The reception lady suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on her face, she was just a person in charge of reception, and she didn't know anything about it. She was also naΓ―ve enough to think that the established route could not be changed.

Mr. Zhong had no opinion before the meeting, and the reception lady stepped on high heels and "oh" into the room, these days, high heels are still a very fashionable shoe, and only in the department dealing with foreign countries, some women dare to wear them.

After another ten minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came out of the room, his face was full of professional smiles, and before he walked in front of Zhong Jianjun, he stretched out a hand, and at the same time bent his waist slightly, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhong, I am Luo Zhiqiang, the deputy manager of China Travel Service in the Nandu area, I don't know how I can help you?" ”

"Manager Luo, hello!" Zhong Jianjun held Luo Zhiqiang's outstretched hand crampedly, not knowing what to say.

"That's right, we plan to visit relatives in Hong Kong, and we don't plan to join the trip to Macau, I don't know if it's okay?"

Zhong Shi saw that his father was so nervous that he couldn't speak, so he spoke for him. In fact, all of this is Zhong Shi's jihua, and Zhong Jianjun is just a cover-up.

From coming out to shaking hands with each other, Luo Zhiqiang had a general understanding of the plainly dressed middle-aged man in front of him, and originally thought that a bluff or two would scare him, but now it was the child sitting next to him who was talking, which made him a little surprised, and he was blind!

It seems that it is necessary to readjust the strategy, Luo Zhiqiang touched his smooth chin, and after thinking for a long time, he said with a sad face: "Actually, it's not impossible, but it may be a little more expensive......

In fact, every time a tour group has tourists who are reluctant to go to Macau, of course, there will be no additional charges, and the travel agency has prepared two different sets of plans. However, Luo Zhiqiang looked at the clothes of the two in front of him, and regarded them as nouveau riche who had never seen the world, and couldn't help but pretend to be pretentious.

"Really? Don't know how your company arranges for those tourists who do not have a Portuguese visa in Hong Kong? ”

His words obviously couldn't scare Zhong Shi. Zhong Shi rolled his eyes disdainfully and said the crux of the problem. Because Portugal does not have many consulates in mainland China, the most convenient time for travel agencies to apply for visas is naturally when they are in Hong Kong. For those who want to go to Macau but are denied a visa, the travel agency will usually arrange for them to go to a gambling boat on the high seas, or continue to play on Hong Kong Island.

"I don't know which relative the two of you are going to visit in Hong Kong this time......"

Luo Zhiqiang's eyes rolled and pretended to inadvertently divert the topic.

"Liao Chengde, I don't know if you've heard of it?" When he said this, Zhong Shi was also curious, and he had heard Liao Chengde boast about how famous he was in the three cities of Nandu, Lihai and Hanzhou, and Zhong Shi naturally always scoffed.

"What? Mr. Liu from Hong Kong? It turned out that the two were his relatives, what a disrespect! Disrespectful! ”

Luo Zhiqiang's face changed and became extremely respectful.
