Chapter 2 The Black Household
Lin Qi is not from this era.
It is now June 26, 1979, but his ID card says it was born in 1990. The time is true, and the ID card information is also true.
He shouldn't have been here.
But he stood here alive, able to breathe and speak, which looked no different from other people in this era.
Lin Qi knew that this phenomenon was called "time travel", a routine that had been written by online novelists in the 21st century.
Moreover, Lin Qi did not travel from the 21st century to the late 1970s in one way, but was able to travel back and forth between two worlds. This is also the reason why Lin Qi was able to become a fallen master in Zhongguancun and make a great success.
The time travel gate connecting the two worlds is of course a waste of his use. However, Lin Qi is a selfish person. For his own safety and interests, it is impossible to share the secret of the time travel gate with others.
Lin Qi maliciously speculated that once his secret is learned, then... the whole world will be crazy, and he may become a guinea pig who is locked in a cage and studied by others.
...
Time travel originates from accidents.
In 2016, Lin Qi often saw a glowing door. Through the glowing door, he could see the 1970s in parallel.
You can overlook another world.
Any corner of the entire city can be clearly observed by switching perspectives.
The scenery of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty painted in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is completely a terrifying thing compared to the capital in the 1970s observed by Lin Qi.
At first, he thought he was sick and had mental problems, so he was under increasing psychological pressure.
Until one day, Lin Qi couldn't help but rush forward and pass through the light gate... Everything changed!
Lin Qi traveled from the 21st century to the 1970s... and he returned successfully!
There are items brought back from the 1970s as voucher to prove that all this is true, not hallucination.
Afterwards...
Lin Qi began to travel back and forth through time experiments many times... The funds at hand also grew larger and larger with this speculation.
In fact, he didn't get too old. Currently, he owns about 500,000 yuan in assets. In the 21st century, he couldn't afford the down payment for buying a house in a second-tier city. However, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, this money was not only considered a huge sum in the mainland. Even in this era, Hong Kong and Taiwan could also be considered a middle-class.
This money was made by Lin Qi in less than two months, which means that it is not too difficult to make more than 100,000 yuan a month by relying on the current two different worlds to make goods.
If you are simply satisfied with small-scale fights and become a fallen master in both worlds, you don’t need to think too much about it.
But as Lin Qi became more and more involved in the world in 1979, he gradually became no longer satisfied with being an ordinary slander!
He is ready to do something big!
However, in this world, he has no household registration and no files... he is a black householder. The black householder cannot apply for a bank card, cannot register a company, cannot... In short, many things that could be done were impossible due to the restrictions of the black householder. This has put a huge restriction on Lin Qi's development in this world. At present, Lin Qi decided to first create a seamless legal identity in this world.
"I am going to go back to my hometown during this period. When will I come back? There is no accurate letter yet. The remaining 500 electronic watches will be placed in the mall for consignment. I don't care about selling one. I will charge 15 yuan for a cost. After I come back, I check the bill and check the bill as much as I sell it." Lin Qi was packing his luggage. Before leaving, he explained to Sister Gu of Tianxing Mall, "By the way, the three scientific calculators that were not sold are not sold. Previously, Professor Zeng Dachao from the Chinese Academy of Sciences bought ten scientific calculators. I told him that the lifelong warranty package will be replaced. During this period, if Professor Zeng comes to you and says something wrong with the machine, he will leave the broken calculator and replace it with him..."
Sister Gu said with a smile: "No problem! Don't worry, it won't delay your affairs!"
Although Sister Gu is an ordinary employee in the mall, she usually wears sweaters and takes care of her children, and she has no motivation at all. She just spends time and waits for retirement. But her husband seems to be an official, so the manager and the superiors of Tianxing Mall are all polite to her.
If you manage Sister Gu well, you can make a living in Tianxing Shopping Mall.
Of course, even if Sister Gu is not good at doing things and makes things worse, Lin Qi will only lose a batch of electronic watches with negligible costs.
He didn't care about this loss even before traveling through time, let alone now...
"Thank you!" Lin Qi smiled, carried a travel bag, called a human resources tricycle, and gave a dollar of human resources to Yanjing Railway Station.
...
The train rushed from the capital to Shenzhen in the south.
Shenzhen is just a transit station, and its real goal is - Hong Kong!
After repeated consideration, Lin Qi felt that the success rate of obtaining a legal identity in Hong Kong was the highest and the risk was the lowest.
Under the background of the Cold War, Hong Kong ID cards are easy to get.
As long as you smuggle into Hong Kong, avoid the military and police patrols and arrest them, and get into the city. Then, with guarantees from local relatives and friends in Hong Kong, you can get your Hong Kong ID card. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have relatives and friends. As long as you spend a little money, the locals are still willing to help with the guarantee.
However, since the population of Hong Kong has exceeded 5 million, this policy was stopped in October 1980. After that, even if they smuggled into Hong Kong, they would be repatriated and it would be impossible to obtain legal status.
Lin Qi is preparing to exploit this loophole and solve the identity problem in this world once and for all.
...
The train arrived in Shenzhen in July 1979.
Shortly after Lin Qi arrived in Shenzhen, he began to hang out on the local black market and found Hong Kong dollar exchange dealers.
In this era, trading foreign exchange is illegal. If it is to encounter a severe crackdown in 1983, it is not possible to get a gun.
However, Shenzhen, as the forefront of reform, is not listed here. In 1979, the degree of openness of Shenzhen has been close to that of later generations. Even in some areas, it is more open than in the next few decades...
In this way, after Lin Qi settled in Shenzhen, he mixed in the black market every day, converting the RMB into Hong Kong dollars in small amounts, and taking this opportunity to inquire about the channels for smuggling Hong Kong.
It was also thoughtful to ask foreign exchange dealers for information.
These foreign exchange dealers are a lie, and they are afraid of being targeted by the police. Therefore, they will not easily call the police or report others to smuggle.
The risk of smuggling is slightly more than that of foreign exchange speculation, but... it is nothing in Shenzhen. Every year, thousands of local people smuggle to Hong Kong.
There was no road in the world, but when there were more people walking, there was a road.
Smuggling Hong Kong is located along the coast of Guangdong, separated by a sea, and has formed a scale and industry. Various experiences and common sense of smuggling have been widely circulated here.
Even helping people smuggle Hong Kong gradually became a business.
...
"There are countless plans for smuggling. Brother, do you want to spend money or not?" Foreign exchange dealer Huang Zili said with a smile.
"How do you say that if you spend money? Don't spend money?" Lin Qi asked in a daze.
"It's simple to spend money... You buy a few car inner tubes, which are full of air. At night, you hold the inner tube and find an opportunity to swim in the water. You are lucky and not dead. Arrive in the center of Hong Kong and go to the police station in the city, and you can send you an ID card." Huang Zili smiled.
"It's so easy, isn't Hong Kong full of people?" Lin Qi knew that the income gap between the mainland and Hong Kong in this era was dozens of times. There were countless people who wanted to smuggle Hong Kong.
"Of course, there is no good product for cheap goods. Poor ghosts swim in the water and smuggled, and countless people are drowned." Huang Zili said disdainfully, "Even now, the police do not shoot the smugglers as before, but the risk of swimming rashly is still very high. Even if they successfully get ashore, they are still very far from the police station. On the road, once suspected smugglers are caught and repatriated. Even if they arrive at the police station, local people still need to cooperate to apply for their ID card."
"So, what about the way to spend money?" Lin Qi was originally interested in swimming and smuggling.
There are a large number of "swimming enthusiasts" on the beach in Shenzhen, and the probability of being drowned is far greater than that of other beaches in the world. You can see floating corpses every month, and you will know how high the risk of swimming and smuggling is.
"5,000 yuan!" Huang Zili said enthusiastically, "Let you smuggle safely!"
"Renminbi?" Lin Qi asked.
"Hong Kong paper!" Huang Zili said, "If you want to go through this channel, I will help you. If you can't even bear to pay 5,000 yuan, you'd better buy a swimming ring or tire yourself."
"Okay, no problem." Lin Qi agreed readily.
The RMB in this era is not as valuable as the Hong Kong dollar, and the official exchange rate is about 3 yuan for 1 Hong Kong dollar. However, the black market costs at least four or five yuan to exchange for 1 Hong Kong dollar.
As for the fact that the RMB is more valuable than the Hong Kong dollar, it will take more than 20 years to wait.
Of course, Lin Qi doesn’t talk nonsense, and said to Huang Zili more than 20 years later, the RMB is more valuable than Hong Kong dollars.
