Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 606 A Big House Facing the Sea
After handing over the money and the car, the seventh-generation American Ford F150, which is said to be "[-]% new", became Cao Zhiqiang's car.

Naturally, everyone is happy about this. After all, the price of a car at [-] US dollars is rare here.

Of course, this is only the initial provision of the car, and after that, it is natural to find another person to spend additional money for the registration and transportation.

As for who to continue looking for, Xiao Feng, the car seller, didn't care, saying that he could find Wang Xiaoqun.

Also, as a middleman, Wang Xiaoqun made 1760% out of thin air this time, which is 2.8 US dollars. Even at the official exchange rate of 1 to 4928, it is 8800 RMB.

Having earned so much, Wang Xiaoqun was naturally happy from ear to ear.

Cao Zhiqiang didn't understand this, and asked him, isn't this kind of situation rare?
Wang Xiaoqun said: "Of course it's rare. Don't look at me as a middleman. I can earn some extra money, but usually I buy a van or motorcycle. Among them, I buy the most motorcycles. 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 and said: "Isn't it? The business here looks good, so it shouldn't be such a small business?"

Wang Xiaoqun said: "You don't know. In fact, this car sale is not as profitable as you think. You came at the right time this time. A batch of goods has just been delivered over there. The supply is sufficient, so you can choose a car in time. In fact, most of the time, there is no market for the price. There is no car to sell, and you can't buy it even if you have money."

"Isn't it?" Cao Zhiqiang asked in surprise, "Could it be that the customs inspected it strictly?"

"That's not true." Wang Xiaoqun shook his head. "The main reason is the lack of transport ships. Of course, I mean ships that can transport vehicles."

Next, Wang Xiaoqun began to explain to Cao Zhiqiang.

It turns out that the imports of Hainan Island during this period were all brought in by civilian ships, and ninety-nine percent of them were fishing boats.

However, the coastal fishing boats of this period were usually relatively small, and they were okay for transporting color TV recorders, and a motorcycle would do just fine, but four-wheeled cars and ordinary fishing boats would not work.

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

There are not many people who can own such large ships these days, so the number of imported cars is also small.

In short, there are not enough large ships, resulting in insufficient capacity for large cargo.

Furthermore, during this period, there were relatively few inland tourists who came to Hainan Island to pan for gold and buy cars.

Let's say the vehicle is licensed.

Yes, here can help to transport the imported cars bought in Hainan Island to the inland, and get a license plate in a county in the inland, but this does not mean that you can sit back and relax.

If the car owner’s background is not strong and the vehicle is more conspicuous, then when you drive through a certain city, once you are checked by the traffic police, it is useless for you to just get the license plate.

Only when all the documents and procedures are complete will they be released, otherwise, the vehicle will be impounded in the name of a wire-feeding vehicle of unknown origin.

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

After the country opens up private companies, private companies can also buy cars in the name of private companies, but the buyer must be a specific work unit, not an individual.

It’s not enough just to have a unit to buy a car, you have to provide a formal car seller’s certificate.

At present, the places that officially sell imported cars can only be provincial-level state agencies, that is, the foreign economic and trade departments of each province.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to buy an imported car in a serious manner during this period. Generally, small units cannot get the quota at all.

Therefore, many units have come up with the idea of ​​a wire-cutting car, but the premise is that you have to drive the car back to the site where your unit is located, and no one will check you.

But if you are stopped by the police in other places passing by while driving home, and you can’t produce a formal certificate, then they really dare to impound your car, and then you can only watch helplessly, or you will have to go to jail.

Unless you have a big background and can calm down these ghosts and snakes passing by, you can only go on the road secretly, such as driving in the middle of the night, hoping not to be intercepted.

It is precisely because of this that the imported cars bought during this period are generally low-key ordinary vans, and there are few publicity ones.

As for the Ford F150 that Cao Zhiqiang bought, it looks unusual and scarce at first glance, so if you drive back to the capital normally, you have to pass so many places along the way, and if you don’t have a big background, you probably won’t be able to drive back.

But there is another way, that is to go by sea.

That is to rent a boat, take the sea route, disembark directly at the fishing port near Tianjin, and then drive back from near Tianjin. This can avoid a lot of trouble, but it will cost a lot of money.

Generally speaking, it would cost five hundred dollars to do so.

Don't think it's too expensive, it's just that, there is no market for the price, and you have to have a special network, otherwise, you won't 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 at the same time, he had to give Wang Xiaoqun [-]% of the intermediary fee.

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

It is also because it has not been long since the beginning, so there are few people who know the situation here, and even fewer people come to buy cars. As a result, this place can continue to operate in a covert manner without alarming the high-level officials in the capital.

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

It was [-] when the silk-running behavior of imported cars in Hainan was really rampant.

It was also because it was too rampant, and there were too many people who knew about it, that it alarmed the top management, and finally came to a one-size-fits-all, completely cutting off the tax exemption policy for imported cars here.

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

Then these imported cars are distributed to dealers like the head of this village, and they are secretly sold to the mainland through these dealers.

The reason is that, in terms of policy, imported cars from Hainan Island are not allowed to leave the island, so the authorities must not dare to do so clearly.

But officials dare not do it clearly, which does not mean that private individuals can't do it either.

This requires white gloves like this village. Through them, the cars are sold to the mainland in a secret way.

In fact, such a village can survive now, mainly because the officials are still timid at this time.

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

That is to say, later on, if you want to buy an imported car in Hainan Island, you can go to any official place of the government to buy it. After you buy it, you can pay a fine to the industrial and commercial side, and you can use the official wharf and official ship to transport the car out of Hainan and into the inland.

This is not possible at this time. Even if you can pay a fine to the industry and commerce, you can only take the car out. In addition, the customs will not check you, but you still cannot find the official ship for transporting the vehicle, and they will not issue you a formal delivery receipt.

Without a formal receipt, when you pass through other provinces inland, it is easy to be detained as a wire walking vehicle.

All in all, tossing cars in Hainan Island during this period has certain risks in itself, and those who are not particularly courageous or have a particularly hard background would not dare to do this job at all.

Cao Zhiqiang is not afraid of this, but the problem is that he doesn't 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, so that he can ship freely.

It would be a pity if he didn't ship the goods sooner, maybe his portable space would explode at the next sign-in reward.

Of course, this does not mean that Cao Zhiqiang does not want to have his own car in the interior.

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

And this kind of car bought through formal channels has complete procedures and is safe to drive. It can be used anywhere in the country.

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

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

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

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

Not only does he have his own private company, but he also has a state-owned enterprise that seems to have the final say.

It is permissible if a private jet is purchased in the name of a business.

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

In fact, according to Cao Zhiqiang's personal perception, the Yun-5 aircraft is not bad except that it flies a little slower.

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

The key is that the Y-5 aircraft has high safety, can take off and land in short distances, does not have high requirements on the airport, and can also take off and land on dirt roads. It is very suitable as a private jet.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang has decided, we will discuss about buying a private jet later.

Oh, don't accidentally create another domestic first.

If he bought a private jet, wouldn't he be the first person in China to buy a private jet?

Hehe, this feeling of making history, don't say it, sometimes it's really good.

In short, Wang Xiaoqun was surprised when he heard that Cao Zhiqiang did not need to drive the car out of the island, but only drove in Hainan Island.

After confirming again and again that what Cao Zhiqiang said was true, Wang Xiaoqun finally settled down.

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 he solved it for Cao Zhiqiang early the next morning.

By the way, because Cao Zhiqiang was happy to give money, Wang Xiaoqun was also happy to find a house for Cao Zhiqiang.

In fact, originally, Wang Xiaoqun wanted to find it slowly by himself, so that although it would take some time, it would save money.

But Cao Zhiqiang is obviously not short of money, but short of time.

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

That's right, if you want to buy or sell a house or build a house in Haikou City during this period, you have to make records, otherwise you don't have a real estate certificate, which is commonly known as a house book.

Only the houses in the local rural areas are collectively owned, so they cannot be found in the city for the time being, so they have to go to the local towns to search.

This situation has not improved until the Internet age.

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.

That villa was invested and built by a Hong Kong businessman here, and the place is near the mouth of the Wuyuan River.

It is said that this villa was originally used by a Hong Kong businessman for vacation, but in fact it is a place where the Hong Kong businessman used to have a mistress.

The more specific situation is not clear, but what is known is that the house is currently for sale.

How do you know it is for sale? That is the house transaction in this period. In addition to pasting the sale information on the house windows or gates, you usually also say hello to the local neighborhood committee.

In other words, the neighborhood committees during this period also functioned as intermediaries for house sales.

Why do you need to find the neighborhood committee to register for sale?
Because it is only pasting the sale information outside the house, this way is too narrow, and the neighborhood committee is more reliable.

Of course, if you pay an extra sum of money, the neighborhood committee will report the information that your house is for sale to the Civil Affairs Bureau at the next higher level, and ask relevant personnel to help you find a buyer.

Higher-level departments can obtain more buyer information.

Just like Cao Zhiqiang now, if he wants to know what houses are for sale, he also comes to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

From this point of view, the Civil Affairs Bureau in this period itself assumed the function of housing intermediaries, while the local street offices and neighborhood committees were equivalent to branches of housing intermediaries.

What?Housing Authority?

That's right, here in Haikou, there is also a housing management bureau, but at present, this department is only responsible for the specific transactions of housing, or it is stamped, and it does not actually undertake the function of housing intermediaries.

Government departments such as neighborhood committees, sub-district offices, and civil affairs bureaus can really act as housing intermediaries or even housekeeping intermediaries.

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

Just looking at these functions, you will know that you can deal well with relevant government departments. Among other things, you can be one step ahead of others with just one information channel, and then make money by relying on the information gap.

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

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

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

In Cao Zhiqiang's view, this European-style villa is just average in construction, but the area is really not small. The building area alone is more than 1000 square meters, and the courtyard and garden outside are more than 2000 square meters, which together exceed [-] square meters.

How should I put it, although this villa covers a large area and the construction is okay, but in this era, it is a remote place with no water, electricity, electricity, and everything has to be done by yourself, which is not much different from rural houses.

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

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

In addition to the supporting facilities with pressure tanks, roof water tanks and water pumps, the tap water system was also laid during the construction of the house, so as long as there is electricity, water is not a problem.

For cooking and bathing, there are gas stoves, gas water heaters, and of course gas tanks, so cooking and bathing is 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 don't consider the cost of living here, it is actually quite comfortable.

That's right, this is a seaside villa after all, how could it really be the same as a rural residence.

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

Moreover, a young woman usually lives in such a big house... To be honest, I feel a little terrified when I think about it, no wonder the hostess wants to sell it.

In Cao Zhiqiang's view, if such a big house had no other uses, it would be overwhelming if there were fewer people, and he would feel flustered.

As for the hostess, apart from 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 women.

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

No matter what, if the other party wants to sell and you want to buy, then hit it off.

It's just that the price is a bit expensive, it costs [-] US dollars, and there is no counter-offer.

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

Anyway, in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, this place is definitely not suitable for a long-term stay, at least not for him alone.

But if it is a secret warehouse by the sea, it is quite suitable.

Although Cao Zhiqiang was not completely satisfied with this place, considering the time constraints, Cao Zhiqiang decided to buy it first.

The most important thing right now is to find a reliable place to use as a warehouse, and release the materials in the portable space first to avoid liquidation.

As for the others, we can only find them later.

Of course, the best way is to find a deep-water port in a serious manner, 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 can I ship more smoothly in the future.

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

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

Only such a port is what I really need.

But this kind of private port matter, he can't handle it 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.

Since then, he can say to outsiders that he owns a big house "facing the sea".

As for whether it is "spring blossoms", it will not be seen until next spring.

But this is not a problem. There are a lot of vegetables in the yard of the villa itself. It will be fine to clean it up later and plant flowers and plants.

Oh, what a crime, such a big seaside villa, the yard is full of vegetables?
It can only be said that the people of our country are indeed a vegetable-growing nation!
