After handing over the money with one hand and handing over the car, the seventh-generation American version of the Ford F150, which is said to be "ninety percent new", became Cao Zhiqiang's car.

In this regard, everyone is naturally happy, after all, the price of 8,800 US dollars a car is not very common here.

Of course, this is only a preliminary car, and then the license plate and transportation, naturally have to find someone to spend another money.

As for who to continue looking for, Xiao Feng, who sold cars, didn't care, and said that he could find Wang Xiaoqun.

Also, Wang Xiaoqun, as a middleman, made two percent out of thin air this time, that is, 1,760 US dollars, even according to the official exchange rate of 2.8 to 1, it is 4,928 yuan RMB, and if it is based on the market exchange rate of one to five, it is 8,800 yuan RMB, which is close to 10,000 yuan.

After making so much money, Wang Xiaoqun is naturally happy.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't understand this and asked him, isn't this situation rare?

Wang Xiaoqun said: "Of course it's rare, don't look at me, I'm just a middleman, I can make some extra money, but I usually buy a van or motorcycle or something, among which I buy a motorcycle the most, and it's good to have one order a month, sometimes there is no business for two or three months." ”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang was surprised: "Isn't it? Business looks good here, isn't it such a small deal? ”

Wang Xiaoqun said: "You don't know, in fact, this vehicle business is not as easy to make as you think." You came at the right time this time, there just sent a batch of goods over, the supply is sufficient, you can choose the car in time, in fact, most of the time, there is no price in the market, there is no car to sell, money can not buy. ”

"Not really, right?" Cao Zhiqiang was surprised, "Could it be that the customs are strictly inspected?" ”

"Not really." Wang Xiaoqun shook his head, "The main thing is the lack of transport vessels, of course, I mean ships that can transport vehicles. ”

Next, Wang Xiaoqun began to explain to Cao Zhiqiang.

It turned out that during this period, the imported goods from Hainan Island were all brought in by civilian ships, and nine percent of them were fishing boats.

However, the coastal fishing boats of this period were usually relatively small, and the ones that transported the color TV recorders were okay, and it was really okay to transport a motorcycle, but the four-wheeled cars were not good for ordinary fishing boats.

Most of the fishing boats that can transport vehicles are special vessels, such as low-speed wooden boats with tens of thousands of tons, or large off-net fishing boats that have been modified.

There weren't many people who could have such large ships in those days, so the number of imported cars was also low.

In short, there is an insufficient number of large vessels, resulting in insufficient capacity for large cargo.

In addition, during this period, there were relatively few inland guests who came to Hainan Island to pan for gold and buy cars, mainly because everyone's information was not smooth, and they knew little about the news here, coupled with the relatively strict inland control.

Let's just say that the vehicle is licensed.

Yes, you can help transport imported cars bought on Hainan Island to the mainland and license them in a county town inland, but that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax.

If the background of the owner is not hard, and the vehicle is more conspicuous, then when you drive through a certain city, once it is found by the traffic police, then it is useless for you to just get a license, and you have to show a letter of introduction from the car buying unit, your own work permit, the ticket of the car selling unit and other formal car purchase vouchers.

All the documents and procedures are complete, and the vehicle will be released, otherwise, the vehicle will be impounded in the name of an unknown source.

You must know that in these years, private individuals in the inland are not allowed to buy cars, and only state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises, joint ventures, township enterprises, administrative units, and public institutions can buy cars.

After the state opens up private companies, private companies can also buy cars in the name of private companies, but the buyers must be specific work units, not individuals.

It's not enough to just have a unit to buy a car, you also have to show a regular car seller.

At present, this place that officially sells imported cars can only be provincial-level state organs, that is, the foreign trade and economic cooperation departments of various provinces.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to buy an imported car seriously during this period, and the average small unit cannot get the index at all.

Therefore, many units have started the idea of walking silk cars, but the premise is that you have to drive back to the car and drive back to the territory where your unit is located, and no one will check you.

But if you're driving home and you're stopped by the police at another passing-by, and you can't get the right credentials, they will really dare to impound your car, and then you can only watch, or you'll have to go to jail.

Unless you have a big background and can suppress these passing cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, you can only sneak on the road, such as driving in the middle of the night, hoping not to be intercepted.

Because of this, the imported cars bought during this period are generally low-key ordinary vans, and there are few publicity.

And the Ford F150 that Cao Zhiqiang bought is not ordinary at first glance, and it is very scarce at first glance, so if you drive back to the capital normally, you have to pass through so many places along the way, and if you don't have a big background, it is estimated that you can't drive back.

However, there is another way, and that is to go by sea.

That is, rent a boat, take the sea route, disembark directly at the fishing port near Tianjin, and then drive back from the vicinity of Tianjin, which can avoid a lot of trouble, but in this way, it will cost an extra amount of money.

Normally, it would cost you $500 to do this.

Don't be too expensive, that's it, there is no market, and you have to have a special way, otherwise, you will not be able to find a ship that can transport vehicles over long distances.

It was such a coincidence that Wang Xiaoqun said that he could find such a boat, but in the same way, he had to give Wang Xiaoqun a 20% intermediate fee.

Of course, this is also the case during this period, after all, it is only 1983 now, and the situation of Hainan this kind of car wire running has not been long in fact.

It is precisely because it was not long before the beginning, so there are fewer people who know the situation here, and even fewer people come to buy cars, so that this place can continue to operate in concealment and does not alarm the high-level of the capital.

To put it bluntly, the speed of information transmission is too slow.

When the wire-walking behavior of imported cars in Hainan was really rampant, it was 1984.

It was precisely because it was too rampant and there were too many people who knew about it that it alarmed the high-level, and finally came across the board and completely cut off the duty-free policy for imported cars here.

In other words, Hainan Island during this period, in fact, the main force of imported cars was the official, and it was the official here who blatantly imported cars from various countries in the form of duty-free.

And then these imported cars were distributed to dealers like the village chief, and through these dealers they were secretly sold to the mainland.

The reason is that, in terms of policy, imported cars from Hainan Island are not allowed to leave the island, so the official will definitely not dare to do it openly.

But the official does not dare to do it openly, which is not the same as that of a private person.

This requires white gloves like this village, through them, in the form of a stealthy thread, to sell the car to the mainland.

In fact, such a village can survive now, mainly because the official is still young at this time.

Later, the officials here saw that there was no problem, and they tasted the sweetness of doing import and export trade, so they simply resold it themselves.

That is to say, later, if you want to buy an imported car on Hainan Island, you can go to the government's regular place to buy it, and then pay a fine to the industry and commerce after you buy it, and then you can use the official wharf and the official ship to transport the car out of Hainan and into the inland.

At this time, even if you can pay a fine to the industry and commerce, you can only take the car out, and the customs will not check you, but you still can't find the official ship that transports the vehicle, and you will not be given a regular receipt for the car.

Without a formal receipt, you can easily be impounded as a silk truck when you pass through other provinces in the interior.

All in all, during this period, there is a certain risk in Hainan Island, and it is not particularly bold or hard in the background, so I don't dare to do this job at all.

Cao Zhiqiang is not afraid of this, but the problem is that he does not need to transport the car out of Hainan at all.

Because Cao Zhiqiang just wants to have a means of transportation in Hainan, a free place, which is convenient for him to ship freely.

If he doesn't ship it early, maybe the next time he signs in for a reward, his carry-on space will be blown up, which would be a pity.

Of course, this is not to say that Cao Zhiqiang does not want to have a car of his own in the interior.

The problem is that with Cao Zhiqiang's current status and strength, he can also buy his favorite good car through formal channels, but the price is a little more expensive and he has to pay a lot of taxes, which is not a problem for him at all.

And the car bought through this formal way has complete procedures, and it is safe to drive, and it can go anywhere in the country.

What's more, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't just want to buy a car, he also wants to get a private jet.

After all, he runs around all day long, and in this era without high-speed rail, private jets are faster and more convenient.

As for the fact that private individuals are not allowed to own private jets, this is not a matter for Cao Zhiqiang at this time.

Because Cao Zhiqiang is not only a person, he also has a company.

He not only has his own private company, but also a state-owned enterprise that has the final say on its own.

If a private jet is purchased in the name of a business, it is allowed.

With Cao Zhiqiang's current personal financial resources, it is definitely not possible to buy Yun 10, but it is still no problem to buy Yun 5.

In fact, in terms of Cao Zhiqiang's personal senses, the Y-5 plane is not only flying a little slower, but also fine.

As for noise or something, adding more sound insulation and noise reduction equipment to the body is not a big problem.

The key is that the Y-5 aircraft has high safety, can take off and land over short distances, does not have high requirements for airports, and can also take off and land on dirt roads, which is very suitable for private jets.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang has decided, and he will discuss the matter of buying a private jet when he goes back.

Oops, don't accidentally create another domestic first.

In case he buys a private jet, he won't be the first person in the country to buy a private jet, right?

Hehe, this feeling of making history, not to mention, sometimes it's really good.

In short, when he heard that Cao Zhiqiang didn't have to drive his car out of the island, and really only drove it on Hainan Island, Wang Xiaoqun was surprised.

After repeatedly confirming that what Cao Zhiqiang said was true, Wang Xiaoqun was relieved.

Because in this way, Wang Xiaoqun can save a lot of trouble.

As for the issue of listing in Haikou, it was not a problem for Wang Xiaoqun at all, and it was solved for Cao Zhiqiang early the next morning.

By the way, because Cao Zhiqiang was happy to give money, Wang Xiaoqun's next behavior of finding a house for Cao Zhiqiang was also very happy.

In fact, Originally, Wang Xiaoqun wanted to find it slowly below, so that although it took some time, it would save money.

But Cao Zhiqiang is obviously not bad for money, but very poor for time.

So after determining that Cao Zhiqiang was willing to give money, Wang Xiaoqun dragged the relationship, found the person in charge of housing records in civil affairs, and directly searched for the house that Cao Zhiqiang wanted in the official database.

In this case, if you want to buy and sell a house or build a house in Haikou City during this period, you must make a record, otherwise there is no real estate certificate, which is commonly known as the house book.

Only local rural houses, because they are collectively owned, cannot be found in the city for the time being, so they have to go to the local township to investigate.

The situation didn't get better until the age of the Internet.

But no matter what, with the official database, it is not difficult to find some reliable seaside villas.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang took a fancy to a private villa.

The villa was built by a Hong Kong businessman from Hong Kong, near the mouth of the Wuyuan River.

It is said that this villa was originally used by Hong Kong businessmen for vacation, but in fact, it is the place where Hong Kong businessmen came to make a second wife.

The more specific circumstances are not clear, but what can be known is that the house is currently for sale.

How do you know that it is being sold, that is, during this period, in addition to posting the sale information on the windows or doors of the house, you will usually say hello to the local neighborhood committee.

In other words, the neighborhood committees during this period also had the function of intermediaries in the purchase and sale of houses.

Why do you need to register with the neighborhood committee to sell?

Because it is just a sale information posted outside the house, this road is too narrow, and the neighborhood committee is more reliable.

Of course, if you pay an extra amount of money, the neighborhood committee will report the information that your house is being sold to the civil affairs bureau at the next higher level, so that the relevant personnel can help you find a buyer.

Higher-level departments have access to more buyer information.

is like Cao Zhiqiang now, if he wants to know what house to sell, he also comes to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

From this point of view, the Civil Affairs Bureau during this period itself assumed the function of housing agency, and the local neighborhood office and neighborhood committee were equivalent to the branch of housing agency.

What? Housing Authority?

That's right, here in Haikou, there is also a housing authority, but at present, this department is only responsible for the specific transaction of housing, or sealing, in fact, it does not assume the function of a housing agency.

The real ones who can act as housing agents or even housekeeping agents have to be government departments such as neighborhood committees, neighborhood offices, and civil affairs bureaus.

If you want to do business during this period, you have to have a good relationship with the government department.

Just look at these functions, you can deal with the relevant government departments, not to mention anything else, just one information channel, you can be one step ahead, and then rely on the information gap to make money.

Therefore, the importance of information really never goes out of style.

After choosing the house, Cao Zhiqiang then drove his newly bought bird of prey, took the tour guide Wang Xiaoqun, and went straight to the villa.

Since I had called to confirm before, I quickly met the house and the hostess of the house.

In Cao Zhiqiang's view, this European-style villa is generally built, but the area is really not small, the construction area alone is more than 1,000 square meters, and the courtyard garden outside is more than 2,000 square meters, adding up to more than 3,000 square meters.

How to say it, although this villa covers a large area and the construction is okay, but in this era, this is a remote place, there is no water and electricity, everything has to come by yourself, and it is not much worse than a rural house.

Of course, there is a diesel generator here itself, plus a voltage regulator, and the power system is ok.

As for the water source, the place itself is next to the Wuyuan River, and there is a well in the courtyard.

In addition, there are supporting facilities with pressure tanks, roof water tanks and pumping machines, and a running water system is also laid during the construction of the house, so as long as there is electricity, there is no problem in terms of water use.

If you want to cook and bathe, there are gas stoves, gas water heaters, and of course, gas tanks, so cooking and bathing are not a problem.

In terms of toilets, in addition to flush toilets, there are also septic tanks, which are also well done.

In short, if you live here, if you don't consider the cost, it's actually quite comfortable.

Also, after all, this is a seaside villa, how can it really be the same as a rural house.

The house is nice, but the size is too big.

And such a big house, usually inhabited by a young woman...... Seriously, it's a little panicked when I think about it, no wonder the hostess wants to sell.

In Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, such a big house, if it is not for other purposes, it is really unbearable if there are fewer people, and it will be panicked.

As for the hostess, in addition to being younger, her appearance is average, at least far worse than the women around Cao Zhiqiang.

Of course, this may also be related to Cao Zhiqiang's personal aesthetics, after all, he doesn't like that kind of dry and thin woman.

And the mistress of this house is a dry and thin woman.

Anyway, if the other party wants to sell and wants to buy it, then hit it off.

It's just that the price is a little more expensive, asking for 50,000 US dollars, and there is no counteroffer.

Cao Zhiqiang considered the concealment here, plus the traffic is okay, and it is not far from the seaside, so it is a proper sea view house, so he agreed to buy it.

Anyway, in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, if this place is to be said to live for a long time, it is definitely not suitable, at least he is not suitable alone.

But if it's a secret warehouse by the sea, it's still quite suitable.

Although this place was not completely satisfactory to Cao Zhiqiang, considering the tight time, Cao Zhiqiang decided to buy it first.

At present, the most important thing is to find a reliable place as a warehouse first, and release the materials in the carry-on space first to avoid liquidation.

As for the rest, I can only find it slowly later.

Of course, the best way is to find a deep-water port and build a private port or a port in the name of a state-owned enterprise that has the final say.

Only in this way will I be able to ship more smoothly in the future.

As for the private port, in addition to having a good dock for large ships, it also needs to have a good airport for private jets to take off and land.

At the same time, the guards in this port must all be their own people, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will.

Only such a port is what you really need.

However, he can't handle this kind of private port matter alone, so he still has to think about it in the long run.

In short, after buying this suite, Cao Zhiqiang finally has a seaside villa of his own.

From then on, he could tell outsiders that he had a big house "facing the sea".

As for whether it is "spring blossoming", it will only be seen next spring.

But this is not a problem, there are a lot of vegetables planted in the yard of this villa, and it is good to go back and clean up and plant flowers and plants.

Oh, what a sin, such a big seaside villa, the yard is all vegetables?

It can only be said that our people are really a vegetable growing nation!
