The price of 5,000 yuan is not very expensive.

Lin Qi and Huang Zili discussed the price and paid a deposit of HK$2,000. After the matter was completed, he paid the remaining RMB3,000 in Hong Kong.

Huang Zili was also very neat. 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.

"It's really okay?" Lin Qi said suspiciously.

"It's okay, we took it safely, and there were not a hundred or eighty, and there was no failure." Huang Zili said confidently, "Get up the courage to think we are smuggling. Instead, we go to Hong Kong for inspection openly and legally. As long as you do not reveal any flaws, the whole process will be foolproof!"

Lin Qi thought to himself, if I am not lucky, will I be an example of failure?

Waiting for playing cards with Huang Zili in a hotel for half an hour, a Hong Kong businessman drove to pick them up. After seeing them, he just nodded and said nothing nonsense. He drove directly to Luohu Police Station. At the police station, the Hong Kong businessman called local officials in Shenzhen and called several phone calls. The matter was done!

The police officers working in the police station were full of respect for Lin Qi and others.

In this era, those who invested overseas and domestically were all old men. The scale of investment in the early days of reform and opening up was not large. Some small bosses with not many assets in Hong Kong could enjoy privileged treatment beyond the national level in the local area.

Lin Qi carefully submitted the forged household registration book and photos, and successfully applied for the pass on the spot.

Not long after, the Hong Kong businessman drove Lin Qi from Luohu Port to Hong Kong. He made a simple inspection and then passed the pass without any danger.

After being sent to Hong Kong, Hong Kong businessmen turned back to Shenzhen.

However, with the help of Huang Zili, the local snake, Lin Qi arrived in the downtown area of ​​the Kowloon Peninsula without any twists and turns, and then entered the police station to apply for an ID card.

Since I just arrived in Hong Kong, the ID card I applied for was stamped with a green seal.

After you have moved in for seven years, you can stamp it with a black seal.

Lin Qi was also surprised that getting his ID card so easily. In this era, getting an ID card was a bit too sensible, right?

"How is it? I said there is no risk at all, right?" Huang Zili said proudly.

In fact, it is not easy to smuggle Hong Kong in this era, and it is not difficult to say it is easy to get a legal identity.

The key is to break through the barriers - the risk of swimming and smuggling is extremely high. Even if you swim over, it will be difficult to apply for a legal identity without the help of local relatives and acquaintances.

Of course, for poor people who have no connections or relationships, smuggling is a gambling life. If your life is not good, who should I blame?

But for those who are willing to spend money, there are safer channels to arrive in Hong Kong.

As long as you get into the city of Hong Kong, you can easily get a legal ID card in Hong Kong in this era. Of course, just an ID card, Hong Kong in this era is a low-welfare area. If you have a legal identity, you cannot enjoy any benefits. If you survive in Hong Kong, you still have to work hard on your own.

Lin Qi put the temporary ID card in his pocket and held this temporary ID card. Even if he was investigated by the police, he would not be deported. After ten days, the formal ID card was completed before he could find a job in Hong Kong.

"Brother Li, good people help you to the end. I have no place to stay in Hong Kong for the time being. I will introduce a place to live. 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 feeling very good and thought to himself that he was quite sensible!

"I can't do anything about you, live in my house first, move out within a week!" Huang Zili considered that he had made a lot of money from Lin Qi not long ago, so he was not too stingy. Then, Huang Zili drove and sent Lin Qi to his house. He ordered on the way, "Meet my family, don't say I will take you money to help you smuggle. Remember, you are the cousin from my mainland. You come to Hong Kong to find a job, live in my house temporarily, and move out if you find a job! Understand?"

"I understand!" Lin Qi realized that Huang Zili was hiding the side of the family.

After all, such things are not legal in the mainland or in Hong Kong. However, the people will not pursue the public and make some money by exploiting policy loopholes in both places.

Of course, Huang Zili's business cannot last long.

...

Lin Qi and Huang Zili's car came to the Huang family.

After Huang Zili arrived home, he introduced to his family and said, "This is my cousin from my cousin's family in mainland China. He has just come to Hong Kong and has not found a job yet. He is temporarily staying at my house for a few days and will move out when he finds a job..."

"The home is so small that I couldn't live there anymore, so I let relatives from the countryside of mainland China live in? How many relatives do you have in mainland China? Last month, the cousin said he had lived there for a few days, and before leaving, he even left a watch." A middle-aged woman complained.

"Isn't this a solution? Is it okay to not help me when my relatives come? Besides, I have to rely more on the care of my fellow villagers and friends for making money in the mainland. Without them, can I earn 10,000 yuan a month now?" Huang Zili said, handing a stack of Hong Kong dollars in his arms to the woman, and smiled at Lin Qi, "Your cousin is mean, but in fact he is pretty good. Back then, I owed a lot of debts, but if someone else had run away. As a result, your cousin sold his dowry and helped me get rid of it."

"Hello, cousin, I've been troubled by you during this period..." Lin Qi took out a large Hong Kong dollar bill of 200 and stuffed it to the "cousin" as living expenses.

Seeing this, Huang Zili's wife looked much more kind and said, "It's all a family, how can you give you money?"

Having said that, Huang "Auntie" pretended to be humble, but he still took the money away and became a little kinder. He went downstairs to buy braised vegetables in the evening and entertained Lin Qi.

Huang Zili's family lives in a very "compact" area, with a family of 5. Including Huang Zili's wife and three children, they live in a public house less than 40 square meters.

"Cousin" Zheng Suqin works as a cashier in the supermarket during the day, and her monthly salary is only 1,200. "Cousin" Huang Zili is a job purchasing fresh vegetables and meat for the supermarket. He goes to the mainland every three days, and his job only earns more than 2,000 yuan a month.

Originally, the monthly payment for the two people was enough for their income to buy a house, but because the three children in the family were studying and the family spent a lot of money, they did not dare to make up their minds to buy a house with a mortgage.

Huang Zili made a fortune in the mainland and only told his family that he had made more money by making Hong Kong dollars and RMB. As for the matter of helping people smuggle, he would never dare to say that he would be beaten to death.

"Uncle Cousin, your current income should be almost the same, right?" Lin Qi felt that although the housing prices in Hong Kong are expensive now, they did not have to pay the full amount.

In fact, in the 1950s, the "profit of real estate" business model appeared in Hong Kong. Only a 5% deposit was required, and then, using the property rights as collateral, obtain a loan from the bank and repay the mortgage monthly. Only when the mortgage is fully repaid can you be considered as having all the property rights.

In the 1970s, real estate developers and banks saw the strong demand for buying houses, and even introduced a zero-down payment model. If ordinary citizens gritted their teeth and spent most of their income on housing, they still had hope of affording it.

"Wait, Hong Kong housing prices have doubled in less than two years. If they continue to rise like this, they will definitely collapse. It will not be too late to buy them after the collapse plunges. Moreover, now you have to pay the full payment or not to buy the house. The interest payment in installments is too expensive, with an annual interest of more than 12%. It is exhausting and working hard, and you will work for the bank." Zheng Suqin muttered, "House prices are rising so fast, how can ordinary office workers afford it? It will definitely collapse!"

In fact, the increase in housing prices in Hong Kong is also rare worldwide. The increase in housing prices in Hong Kong was about 200 times between the 1950s and the late 1970s alone.

If we count it again until the 21st century, it will continue to rise by 20 or 30 times. This means that after World War II and by the beginning of the 20th century, Hong Kong's housing prices rose by more than four or five thousand times.

Overall, it continues to rise.

Of course, there are also times of collapse. For example, from 1982 to 1984, there was a tragic wave of housing market crash in Hong Kong, with housing prices falling by more than 90% at most. At that time, a considerable number of Hong Kong's rich and middle-class people were pessimistic about the future prospects of Hong Kong, so they looked for ways to immigrate, and in addition, they were panic-selling houses at low prices.
