Chapter 22 Why Not Immigrants?

After becoming a billionaire, Li Zhigao this time is not as excited as the last time he became a multimillionaire, after all, he has made progress now, and he has gradually adapted to the feeling of being a local tyrant.

This time, he only took 5,000 taels of gold that was easy to get rid of immediately, but in fact, in his warehouse, there were still 80,000 taels of large gold bars, jade jewelry and precious medicinal materials worth 30,000 taels of gold at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that he knows very well in his heart that it's okay to take out a small amount of those things and sell them in China, but if they are shipped in large quantities at once, they will definitely alarm the relevant departments.

Therefore, Li Zhigao knows very well in his heart that reselling gold, jewelry and antiques, at least in China, what he is currently engaged in should have come to an end, and if he continues to sell things unscrupulously, even if he does not sell them to that Jinsheng pawnshop, it will definitely arouse the ideas of people with intentions, and it will be difficult to do things in the future.

However, this is not impossible, and in the long run, it is a good way to go abroad to the international market. The trade of foreign jewelry and antiques and gold is very prosperous, the plate is much larger than that of China, and it is very loose and secretive, there is basically no supervision at all, and all transactions only recognize one word of money.

In particular, China was robbed of so many things by the foreign powers, and there were countless pieces of jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and because most of them were private anonymous collections, many things could not be counted at all, which also gave himself a good identity for jade jewelry from the late Qing Dynasty. In other words, if you ship jewelry, jade, antiques, or other things from abroad and resell them to domestic buyers, the state will not only not trouble you, but may even praise you.

However, in this way, I am afraid that I still need a foreign identity to leave myself a way out. Well, it's better to emigrate? Even if you don't become the nationality of another country, at least go to a freer country to get permanent residency, and then open a trading company as a cover, which is much easier.

After choosing, Li Zhigao felt that developed countries such as Europe and the United States could not do it, because they seemed to be free, but in fact, the control was very strict, especially since he would definitely involve arms in the future, so developed countries in Europe and the United States could not consider it.

In this way, South America and Africa are the best choices, on the whole, Africa is the most suitable, and then specific to Africa, choose to choose, it seems that only South Africa is more suitable for itself for the time being.

Li Zhigao has also read a lot of fiction novels before, and many of the protagonists in them go to more turbulent areas in Africa, such as Somalia and other places, or Mozambique, Tanzania and the like. Li Zhigao also considered these places, but after checking the data, he realized that those places were not suitable for him, especially not for his current self.

Although the turbulent area means more opportunities and more loose management, but a foreigner with no background, if the strength is not strong enough, there is no strong country as a backstage, especially without their own armed forces to rush in, then even if they have the ability to shuttle, the result is likely to be very tragic, at least it is difficult to develop smoothly, it is better to choose a safer and more economically developed place near the turbulent area to settle down and enter the base first, and then slowly figure it out.

That is to say, what I need most now is not to take advantage of the fire to rob and engage in private forces, but to find an economically developed place to open a trading company, sell the gold and jewelry and antiques in my hand for money, and establish a stable and hidden money laundering channel, which will inevitably require a developed country, you have to go to those poor places in Mozambique, where is the gold and antique dealers to trade with you, even if someone comes to trade, they can't sell it at a good price.

If we follow this line of thinking, it seems that South Africa is the only place to choose from in Africa.

South Africa is one of the most economically developed countries in Africa, and the security is okay, at least in Africa, it is a very good place, and due to historical reasons, the implementation of private ownership of land, land and minerals can be privatized, and the policy of tolerance or even over-tolerance for foreign capital and foreign immigrants is maintained, it is a paradise for the truly rich, as long as you keep the rules, don't be too arrogant, no one cares about you.

In South Africa, it is said that if you have money, you can buy a piece of land, become a real big landlord, in your own territory, not only can you build your own house, the resources on the ground and underground are also your own, as long as you exploit legally, don't damage the environment too much, and then pay taxes normally, no one will trouble you, in this regard, South Africa's land ownership system is more relaxed than the United States, of course, this can also be understood, caused by special history and special environment.

In addition, for the same historical reasons, the country's political axe control is not strong, the control of its own residents and foreign capitalists is not high, and it can also practice dual citizenship, and it is a world-famous arms trading place, and many mercenaries in Africa are also located in South Africa, which is known as the paradise of adventurers in the 21st century, which is the most suitable for their own development.

If nothing else, just get this batch of gold, which is absolutely eye-catching in China, but in South Africa, this gold is nothing at all, and it is easy to sell, you must know that South Africa is the most well-known gold smuggling place in the world.

That is, because this is one of the world's largest gold smuggling places, so gold in South Africa can also be directly used as hard currency, pay with gold, in South Africa is better than the dollar, you can buy anything that can be bought in this world, which is difficult to wait for in today's non-monetization of gold, at least you in China and Europe and the United States and other countries, you can't directly use gold to buy things, you must first exchange it for money, if you exchange gold for money, it is equivalent to losing the secret surname, This is not a good deal for a smuggler like him.

After all, Li Zhigao is now a rich man, and in the current world, as long as you have money, it is difficult to say anything else, but if you want to say that you want to immigrate to South Africa, it is too easy, and there are institutions to help you solve all your problems.

I found a company that is known as the largest and most professional company specializing in immigration affairs in the local area, and consulted a little about immigrating to South Africa, I thought it was difficult, but who knew that it was so easy, and there are many benefits of immigrating to South Africa.

According to the receptionist, the status of the Chinese in South Africa is now quite good, and they belong to a group that is respected by both local blacks and whites. You don't need any language skills to immigrate to South Africa, there is no age limit, it doesn't cost much, the process is simple, there are many ways, and of course, the fastest way is to immigrate by investment.

Moreover, because South Africa and dozens of developed countries in Europe and the United States are visa-free from each other, and many developed countries recognize dual nationality, so after naturalizing South Africa, you can also use this as a springboard to directly apply for immigration to Canada, Australia and other countries, and the nationality of those countries is simpler and less formalized than in China. Many Chinese who want to immigrate to Canada and other developed countries in Europe and the United States do so by immigrating to South Africa first, and then immigrating from this springboard, which costs more money and takes a bit of time, but saves a lot of trouble.

Of course, although South Africa is a dual nationality, since Huaxia does not recognize dual nationality, once naturalized in South Africa, it is equivalent to giving up Huaxia's nationality.

However, in Li Zhigao's view, this is not a problem, anyway, he is only planning to get a green card, that is, permanent residence, and does not plan to become a naturalized citizen, as long as he does not become a South African citizen, it is not considered to give up his Chinese nationality. Of course, if you become a South African citizen according to the needs of the situation in the future, it is nothing, as a foreigner, you can live well in China.

Look at how many naturalized Chinese abroad, aren't they all still living in China for a long time? I haven't seen any trouble from others, and even many places have more advantages than Chinese nationality.

For example, if you lose a bicycle in China, if you are a local, then you basically don't want to get the bicycle back, but if you are a foreigner, the police uncle will be able to get you back as quickly as possible...... Ahem, in addition, he also has parents, relatives and friends, they are still all Chinese nationality, in case it involves something that can only be done with Chinese nationality, just find them to do it, there is no difficulty.

It is easier to immigrate to South Africa, there are many ways, such as you can apply for a tourist visa or a work visa first, and then apply for immigration, the fastest is of course to apply for a tourist visa, and their company can take care of this part, that is, a few days.

South Africa is quite tolerant of foreign investors, and it is also quite welcome, especially recently it has a good relationship with China, has a series of preferential policies for Chinese, and has opened the threshold of almost all industries, such as real estate, finance, minerals, etc., foreign capital can come in, and if it is an investment immigrant to engage in, it is even more welcome.

At the same time, once you choose to invest in immigration, you can get a South African green card in half a year, that is, six months at the earliest, obtain permanent residency, and wait for five years to survive the time specified in the naturalization process, and you can really apply for citizenship in South Africa.

During the period of obtaining permanent residency, if you are used to living in China, then it doesn't matter, you can live in China for a long time, as long as you go back to South Africa every year to report your existence, show your existence, and don't let the green card become invalid.

In this way, after signing the agreement documents, paying the commission and deposit, and asking for some copies of his own documents, the other party quickly replied, saying that he would help to do it in the fastest time, let himself be patient and wait for the news, and said that there would be news in seven days at the latest.

After doing all this, Li Zhigao walked out of the building, and sighed a little in his heart, it turned out that he had also become a group of immigrants who had been scolded on the Internet before, but thinking about it, it was more likely that he scolded those immigrants because of his red eyes, and he really felt a little helpless when he was rich.

There is no way, the Celestial Empire is indeed too strictly controlled in all aspects, and many aspects are tied, and if there is no strong political backstage, after suddenly having money, there will always be all kinds of insecurity psychology, especially for people like him whose huge wealth is from unknown sources, it is no wonder that so many rich people in the Celestial Empire have or are considering emigrating abroad.
