Live again: the pig who is the outlet

Chapter 34 Arrive in Hong Kong
Meng Qingshan, who was woken up, couldn't sleep any more, so he got dressed and got up depressed.

Meng Qingshan was very helpless when he was woken up after two or three hours of sleep, thinking: It seems that I have to find a way to move out in the future, and there will be more and more things in the future, and it will only become more and more inconvenient to live in the dormitory.

In the next few days, Meng Qingshan first bought a flight ticket from Shanghai to Hong Kong.

Meng Qingshan has not been idle these days, and has been busy with various preparations.

Thinking that since my company has become a joint venture, it must be necessary to get a better car to support the appearance.

Domestic cars are too expensive and not worth it. Why don’t you just buy a few cars on Hong Kong Island and bring them to China in the name of part of the joint venture assets of Hong Kong businessmen? Even if you have to pay part of the customs clearance fee, it will save you money.

At this time, the common domestic cars are almost Laomodu and Jingcheng 212, and most of the imported cars are Lada and Volga from Big Brother.

The high-end ones are the Crown, Duke, Bluebird, etc. of the island country, and there are very few of them, which belong to the luxury cars in the eyes of the common people.

Speaking of this period, the good cars in the hearts of the domestic people are really made in the island, because the island country has been trying to sell cars to China before the domestic reform.

So for a long time, domestic people have basically never heard of BBA, Rolls-Royce, etc., and they have the impression that good cars are those in island countries.

The turning point is that after the reform and opening up, when China wants to produce cars through joint ventures, the guys in the island countries are crazy, saying that the roads in China are not good, and bluntly saying that the roads should be repaired before talking about joint ventures to produce cars.

To be honest, the domestic roads in the 80s were really not very good, let alone expressways, and few people knew what expressways were.

The best is the national road, but most of them are full of potholes, and the more heavily industrialized the city, the worse the road.

At that time, if you took a long-distance bus to the city where the mining area was located, if you had never been there, you would worry about taking it, and asked the driver when he would arrive there.

The driver will definitely tell you: "Whenever you feel that the bumps in the car are like riding a sieve, you are going to the place."

However, the islanders went crazy, but they gave up their good chance.

Seeing this opportunity, the German public immediately approached the country.

You can't help but fuck with the cars made by your island country to save fuel. How many leather cars do we have in the public!

Therefore, Volkswagen actively contacted the mainland for joint venture production of automobiles, and the domestic government immediately took over the olive branch extended by Volkswagen, decisively gave up the first choice of an island car company, and built a joint venture FAW-Volkswagen production line in Shanghai.

Dean Cheng was tinkering with the Santana he bought from the School of Foreign Languages, which was the first batch of joint venture cars that rolled off the production line in the past two years.

It is also since then that there have been Santana and Jetta, two hard-working models that are called god cars by the country, and they have directly overturned the island country cars, and have become the favorites of the domestic people for decades.

Those island country car companies also made their previous efforts on the mainland go to waste because of the few waves of madness at the beginning.

Even if we quickly contacted the domestic joint venture production, because the domestic joint venture production line has already been put into production, the foreign exchange reserves are not much, and we are powerless to invest money in building a new joint venture automobile factory.

In addition, they played too much before, and it took many years to negotiate a cooperation.

When the first joint venture car in the island country rolled off the production line, the two amazing cars of FAW-Volkswagen had been sold for many years, and they had formed a good reputation, becoming the first choice for domestic car buyers.

This result made the car companies in the island country feel so regretful that they all cried and passed out in the toilet.

With the idea of ​​buying a car, Meng Qingshan quickly contacted his brother-in-law and asked him to learn how to drive there, and also told Zhang Xindi to find an acquaintance to practice driving as soon as possible.

As for the driver's license, at this time there is no such thing as an individual learning to drive. If an individual wants to enter a driving school to learn to drive, first of all, you must have a letter of authorization from the unit.

The most amazing thing is that all the students are taught in the Great Liberation, and they have to learn how to repair a car first, and then they can get in a car and learn to drive after passing the test.

Of course Meng Qingshan didn't want to go through such a hassle, first let my brother find a car and find acquaintances to learn it, and then his company will issue a certificate, let them go to the driving school and drive the car for a while and it's over.

As for whether the driving school will agree, what a joke, not to mention the panic buying in the near future, just tell them now that they can help them get a few imported color TVs.

Not to mention selling them at a low price, they dare to give you the driver's license directly if the price is high.

It is much easier to get a driver's license these days than it will be decades later. After a few years, even in some cities, there will be things that you can spend money to buy a driver's license without learning, ranging from five or six hundred to as many as a thousand yuan. You have a driver's license.

Anyway, if you are given a driver's license, you may not be able to touch the car. The local finances are tight, so get the funds first, because there are more important things to do.

Time flew by in a hurry as Meng Qingshan was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

On the morning of New Year's Day in [-], Meng Qingshan set foot on the land of Hong Kong City. In order to hurry up, he specially bought an early morning ticket.

When you arrive in Hong Kong City, you will directly find a high-end hotel on Hong Kong Island to stay.

It's not that he wants to be rich.

But at this time, although Hong Kong City is not like before, various forces are intricately competing with each other.

But it's not much better, and I am a mainlander who comes here to spend money on errands.

It's not a good thing to accidentally be targeted by gangsters here, it's better to stay in a relatively safe high-end hotel.

Ocean sailor is a magical profession. In his decades of career as a seafarer in his previous life, Meng Qingshan once worked with a Hong Kong Islander who called himself Cheng Ge.

Maybe everyone is Chinese, maybe this person knows that something will happen to him sooner or later.

In a long conversation after becoming friends with Meng Qingshan, he said that his real name was A Li, because in the early days he went around with a butcher's knife, so the gangsters on Hong Kong Island called him butcher.

A Li didn't say why he hid out to be a seaman, and Meng Qingshan didn't ask, but the two became friends who talked about everything in the lonely sea.

From Ali's mouth, Meng Qingshan has heard a lot of things about Hong Kong Island for decades, whether it is white, black, or gray, and has a certain understanding of Hong Kong Island.

Later, Ali once asked Meng Qingshan that if he saw him die in a foreign land, he hoped that he could collect his body for him, and Meng Qingshan agreed.

However, after that conversation, Ali's disappeared within half a year, and he didn't even receive his previous salary.

Meng Qingshan knew that something might have happened to this person, but he couldn't help it. He didn't see the dead or the dead, and he had no chance to fulfill his promise to help him collect the corpse.

In the less than a year since I met Ali, I have learned a lot about various things in Hong Kong Island from Ali.

Knowing that Hong Kong Island is far from being as glamorous and beautiful as seen in movies and TV shows, most of the people on Hong Kong Island are just poor enough to eat and clothe themselves. Most of the money that most people earn in their lifetime is not enough to support their families. many.

Whoever can earn money to buy a house in his lifetime and still have enough money for retirement is definitely considered a successful person, even if the house is only a few tens of feet in size.

Lying in the hotel room, Meng Qingshan carefully recalled what happened in the 80s here from Ali.

In the end, he decided to go to a place called Hong Kong Island Office. Ali once said that the background of this office in Hong Kong Island is unknown.

Regardless of white or black, they will not provoke them, and the people there are also very disciplined, as long as they take over the commission, they can help you complete it, and they will not accept the unacceptable ones, and they will never cheat people. thing.

Therefore, this Hong Kong Island office has a very good reputation among certain groups of people.

The only embarrassing thing is that they charged a high commission fee, but they clearly marked the price, which belonged to Zhou Yu's Huang Gai.

If you agree, sign the contract, and if you think it's inappropriate, you will be dismissed. You will never play any tricks.

Although he wanted to go to this Hong Kong Island office to help him handle matters in Hong Kong, he still decided to find out for himself.

No matter how good A Li said, it was his own opinion, and he had to go and see for himself what kind of firm it was.

After lunch, Meng Qingshan found the office according to the address he heard from Ali.

It was really the same as A Li said at the beginning, there are people here at any time, the place is not big, it looks like a small company that is about to fail.

Meng Qingshan was received by a 25-year-old woman. This woman did not have the stink of condescending and condescending when people from Hong Kong Island saw mainlanders during this period.

Enthusiastically invited Meng Qingshan to sit down inside, poured him a cup of coffee, and then asked if he needed help from their office.
