Chapter 1 First Arrival in Your Land
In August 1980, the Immigration Office of Tsim Sha Tsui East District, Hong Kong.
"Name!"
"Li Xuechu."
"gender!"
"...Male." Isn't this nonsense?
"age!"
“...16 years old”
"Hmm?" The fat policeman with a bun-faced face looked at the boy in front of him, with a look of suspicion in his eyes, "16?"
"16!" Li Xuechu fucked the duck boy's throat unique to the voice change period with anguish and gritted his teeth and said again. Can I say that I am in my early thirties?
"It's really sixteen? It doesn't look like it." The policeman's suspicious expression was clear at a glance.
"...I'm really sixteen, and I'm developing late." Why is it so troublesome? Isn't it enough to sign me directly? It's not easy to be too dedicated to the police.
"Looking at the tall one." The fat policeman looked at the boy in his early 1.6 meters in front of him with a confused look on his face. He looked like he was sixteen or seventeen, but he probably wasn't fifteen yet, right?
In the early 1980s, both in China and in Xiangjiang were generally not tall, and the fat policeman himself looked less than 1.7 meters tall.
"Look at you, you are white and tender, not like those from the mainland?" Continuing the investigation, the application for ID cards of Xiangjiang residents is actually very relaxed, and you can basically get any criminal record or anything else. It is not so much a check, but rather a satisfying curiosity. The boy who claims to be a mainlander in front of you really feels different from the mainlander he usually comes into contact with. First of all, it doesn't look like he has suffered a hard time, and his expression is like a higher education. If it weren't for not being able to speak Xiangjiang dialect, the fat police would really think that person is making a prank to find him happy.
"I did come from the mainland, and used to be a student."...I came from thirty-four years later.
"Are there any relatives in Xiangjiang?"
"No"
“A fixed place for local residence?”
"No permanent residence, rented a house"
......
After a while, Li Xuechu finally dealt with the fat man and walked out of the office building of the Immigration Office. Although the fat police never believed that Li Xuechu was sixteen years old and looked at the different senses from the mainland people whom he had seen, he didn't say anything in the end, after all, it was not a big deal. As for the resident ID card, it would take three days to get it.
This made Xiao Li sigh and finally no longer have to be a "black household". At present, Xiangjiang is still very relaxed in management of incoming personnel, but from October 24th in two months, the Xiangjiang government will begin to implement an immediate arrest and release policy, stipulating that all Hong Kong residents over 15 years old must bring their ID cards in public places. Violators will be fined, and non-Xiangjiang residents who do not have work permits will be deported.
Although the country has reformed and opened up in 1980, it still cannot tell its origins when it returns. It is still a "person of unknown origin".
"Why are you so unlucky?" Thinking about your own experience, Xiao Li suddenly felt sad and had no hope in life! "As long as people can't be too greedy, things are going on now."
A month ago, Li Xuechu accidentally discovered a space tunnel in a building that was stopped due to funding problems. Both ends of the tunnel connected to S City in 2014 and the Xiangjiang Special Zone in 1980 (now still a British territory). After initial shock and testing, the happy time and space smuggling career began. From purchasing various cheap industrial products and crafts to reselling in Xiangjiang in 2014, and then purchasing Yuan Datou (silver dollars) in Xiangjiang to sell them for 14 years.
Before the liberation, the middle-class landlords, factory owners, intellectuals and other middle-class people fled to Xiangjiang with a large amount of precious metals, which made Xiangjiang's private precious metals quite considerable. In addition, the span of thirty-four years allowed Xiao Li to make enough of the price difference. After several rounds, although Xiao Li did not dare to invest a lot out of his cautious personality, he still doubled the more than 100,000 yuan of principal saved by working.
A few days ago, Xiao Li finally decided to increase his investment in a big deal. In addition to sending 300,000 yuan to his home for the capital to buy a house and a car (to put it bluntly, he was afraid of losing money, so he took back the capital when he made money. In the pocket, Xiao Li's inertial thinking), the remaining 200,000 yuan was replaced in the cheap market with watches, pens, ornaments and other small commodities that do not take up space. He was planning to dump it in Xiangjiang, buy some gold jewelry, antiques and other antiques to enter the camp of the rich.
Yesterday, 70% or 80% of the goods were sold. When Xiao Li was holding a few gold bars and a snuff bottle from the pre-Qing Dynasty, he was about to go back and sell them and then buy some goods to continue making money. He was sadly aware that the time and space tunnel was missing.
Looking at the empty room in front of him, Li Xuechu felt that his heart was sinking little by little. A few months ago, I heard a lot of people discussing the household registration policy that ended on October 24, saying that people who have not applied for a Xiangjiang ID card after the date will be considered illegal immigrants and may be deported. The application for permanent resident ID card in the future will be much stricter. Originally, Li Xuechu had no intuitive feelings about this matter, but he had made almost two months anyway, so it was nothing to do with me later. Even if the time and space tunnel was discovered by others or the government, whether it was exposed or blocked, or whether it was a major issue related to the national destiny or something that was related to the fate of the country would have nothing to do with us. I just want to be a little rich man quietly.
The tunnel suddenly disappeared, and a very realistic thing was placed in front of me. Will the time and space tunnel still appear? Even if it appears, it will still be the one connected to the original time and space? After all, both ends of the time and space tunnel are not secret places. The other end is a half-built property, and this end is simply in someone else's house. Fortunately, the owner moved out of the room two months ago and entrusted the small house of more than 40 square meters to a real estate company for rent or sale.
Li Xuechu rented the room for half a year as soon as he made money, so as not to break his secret passage. On the other side, he had no good idea except to move some waste cartons and simply cover it up. Fortunately, the weather is cold and remote now, and there is no sign of being discovered by others except for his idle pain. I guess even if someone occasionally finds this dark hole that looks like a black hole, he may not dare to come.
Of course, just in case, Li Xuechu still didn't dare to put too much finance in the room. This was one of the reasons why he didn't dare to make a big deal before, and he was afraid that someone would come inadvertently and leave the property directly.
He stayed restless all night, and the next day, Li Xuechu quickly handled his ID card issue early, and then returned to his residence to start inventorying his property.
Gold bars are 4 yuan, one snuff bottle, and 17 silver dollars. When I bought these finance, I spent about HK$120,000, of which the gold bars cost about HK$80,000, but it would be a blessing to sell them for 75,000. Besides, before buying them, Li Xuechu checked on the Internet that the price of gold will continue to decline in the next few years, falling all the way to 87 years, from about US$600 per ounce today to below US$400, and it would not be possible to sell them. And snuff bottles can get a good price after thirty-four years. If you sell them now, you may get 80% of the purchase price. It is good to buy more than 2,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash, and a few small commodities such as watches and pens that have not been sold, equivalent to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. A mobile phone brought by later generations, take-out chargers, changing clothes, and other daily necessities such as quilts.
The gold bars should be taken as soon as possible, keep the snuff bottles, and you can also talk about them when you look at the silver dollars. The mobile phone must not be exposed, and there is no such thing yet.
The current property is about 130,000 to 140,000 yuan. With the current income level of Xiangjiang, ordinary employees, like clerks, generally have monthly salary of about 1,000 yuan, and about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan for work in the company. However, the housing prices in Xiangjiang are relatively high, and the more prosperous areas generally reach more than 10,000 yuan per square meter. In other places, except for the very remote islands, etc., it turns out that the high housing prices that make people want to scold me in the future have long been there. It is hard for them to endure for so many years, but they look quite calm.
Under this situation, the amount of money in your hand can last for two years in Xiangjiang, and it will be a bit difficult to buy a house and buy a property. If you really can't go back, you should find some serious way to make money for yourself for the future.
