I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 490 Same New Year, Different Mood
At the gate of a villa community in Shanghai, Jiang Hou and his family looked at a villa inside with heavy hearts.

This villa once belonged to my family, but that was more than ten years ago.

At that time, their family seized the opportunities of the times and became rich, so they spent tens of millions to buy a villa in the Shanghai where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Later, Jiang Hou's parents were deceived by an immigration agency and felt that there was no future in staying in the country, and business became increasingly difficult.

So the whole family sold their properties in China, transferred their businesses, and immigrated abroad with assets worth hundreds of millions.

I thought that with the several hundred million assets in my hands, I would never have to worry about food and clothing and could live a good life overseas.

However, after actually going abroad, they found that things were not as good as they had imagined.

They used the money to buy a lot of real estate overseas, and then rented out these properties as a way of financial management, while also being able to earn some living funds.

But they soon discovered a problem, that is, foreign countries and domestic countries are two completely different worlds, whether it is the laws or people's ideas and so on, there are huge differences.

The people who rented their houses soon began to default on their rent and were too lazy to leave.

Unfortunately, they have no way to deal with these tenants. They have no way to drive them away directly.

Because according to local laws, even if the tenants do not pay the rent, you cannot evict them immediately. You must give them a certain period of grace, and you cannot force the tenants to leave by cutting off water and electricity, otherwise it is also illegal.

Each of these tenants is an old hand, and they understand the local laws better than their family. It is obvious that they have taken advantage of their family and these outsiders, especially Jiang Hou's family, who are Orientals with black eyes and black heads. They are even more unscrupulous.

They kept dragging their feet on paying the rent and made the house a mess. When Jiang Hou went to ask for the rent, they wouldn't even let him in. This was because according to local law, after tenants rent a house, it becomes their private territory and no one has the right to enter without permission.

The Jiang Hou family was forced into a corner and had no choice but to seek help from Uncle Hat and try to resolve the issue through a lawyer.

However, all this was of no use. No one could drive these tenants away, especially since these tenants basically had many children, it was very difficult to drive them away.

For this matter, the Jiang Hou family spent countless efforts and a lot of money, but it ended in failure.

Over time, these houses have become the homes of these rogue tenants.

The key is that the Jiang Hou family must pay property taxes every year. If they fail to pay the property taxes, they will be breaking the law. Not only will they face huge fines, but their immigration status will also be revoked.

In order for Jiang Hou to be able to go to college smoothly in the local area, his family had to endure and spend a large sum of money to pay property taxes every year.

After Jiang Hou finished college, they decided not to keep these houses anymore. They planned to not pay the property tax and let the houses be taken away. As for the huge investment they had made to buy these houses, they would just consider it a waste.

However, they thought too simply.

For these wealthy immigrants, the locals are just here to rip them off and reap their share of the spoils.

Especially in recent years, the local economy has declined seriously, the unemployment rate has remained high, and all kinds of emotions and dissatisfaction have continued to erupt.

You have to pay the property tax for this house, and the tax rate has increased because the local officials have no money and are raising taxes to increase revenue.

The house is actually no longer valuable, but Jiang Hou's family is forced to pay property tax according to the market price when they purchased the house, and they have to pay it every year.

If they don't pay, the house they live in will be taken away, the money in their bank will be frozen, and they will also be arrested for tax evasion.

Because of this matter, Jiang Hou's parents were in tears. They cried until their tears dried up, but there was still nothing they could do.

They tried countless ways to sell the house at a very low price, or even for free, but no one wanted it because the house had been completely destroyed by the tenants, who refused to leave and no one dared to take it.

They thought about asking local Chinese for help, but ended up being cheated out of their money again.

They spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer, but the lawyer did not do anything after receiving the money. It was obvious that the lawyer had taken advantage of them.

In just a few years, all the money they had brought with them was gone. The money they had worked hard for all their lives disappeared in the blink of an eye.

They could never understand why they couldn't kick out the tenants who didn't pay the rent on their own houses?

They could never understand why no one seemed to be helping them and were all trying to trick them.

In recent years, they no longer had the money to pay property taxes, and even the house they lived in was taken away.

He went out with hundreds of millions of dollars and dreamed of living a happy life, but in the end, the whole family had no place to live.

In the end, there was really no other way. Fortunately, Jiang Hou's grandparents were still in the country, and they found a way to bring them back from abroad.

They originally thought that they could start over after returning to China, especially since Jiang Hou had experience studying abroad, so finding a job would definitely be no problem.

The result was that they were left with tears in their eyes.

The first problem they have to face is that they have no household registration. They have already registered in the local area, and their domestic household registration has naturally been cancelled. Now it is harder than climbing to the sky to regain their household registration.

They tried many ways but to no avail, especially in recent years, household registration management has become more stringent. They tried many ways but to no avail to regain their household registration.

Without a household registration, they cannot do many things in the country and can hardly take a single step.

The second thing is about work. Jiang Hou originally thought that his experience of studying abroad would be very popular, but he found that domestic companies now basically don’t like overseas students anymore.

Especially since Jiang Hou’s Chinese proficiency is not good enough, and the university he attends is actually a fake university, not a world-renowned university.

In addition, they do not have local household registration, so they have repeatedly encountered difficulties in finding jobs and have not found a job until now.

The third is their visa issue. They must go back when the time is up and cannot stay here forever. Once they are found to have stayed here, they will be forcibly deported.

This has always been a headache for them, but now they can no longer take care of it.

They would never go back again. The place they once thought was heaven is now hell in their eyes.

The place they once tried so hard to leave has now become a place they would never leave even if they die.

"Ugh!"

"If only I hadn't sold the house and left."

"It's all my fault that my whole family has been ruined."

Jiang Hou's father, Jiang Yeming, looked at the villa and couldn't help crying.

Although there is a trend of counter-urbanization and the house prices in big cities have fallen sharply, this is Shanghai and the good houses here are still strong. The villas in front of us now cost hundreds of millions each.

"What's the point of saying so much? This is fate."

Jiang Hou's mother Yu Ling couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

The two men are now in their fifties, but they look very old, with heads full of white hair.

These years abroad have been really tough, especially for my husband and I, who have lost all their life savings after working so hard for them.

Now that they are back, they can only live on the little pension from Jiang Hou’s grandparents.

It is now the end of the year and every household is decorating their houses with lights and celebrating the New Year with joy, but their family is still not happy.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go."

When Lord Jiang finished speaking, someone next to him actually said the same thing at the same time, so that both sides couldn't help but look at each other.

"Are you Jiang Yeming?"

"Are you Gu Hai?"

Jiang Yeming and a man who was also in his fifties looked at each other, and then asked in disbelief.

It turns out that the two were neighbors when they were in China. They both bought villas here and lived next door to each other. They knew each other and visited each other frequently.

"Why are you like this now?"

"Didn't your whole family immigrate?"

Gu Hai looked at Jiang Yeming and Yu Ling carefully. He really couldn't bear it anymore, because the two people in front of him were too old, older than himself.

Although I have been worried over the years, I have not become as old as Jiang Yeming and Yu Ling. "Alas!"

"It's hard to describe in words. It's full of bitter tears."

Jiang Yeming sighed and slowly began to tell Gu Hai's family what had happened to him over the years.

"Ugh!"

"I am the same as your family. I believed some people's lies at first, saying that it is easier to make money overseas, the environment is more fair, and you don't need to use connections or anything like that."

"So I went overseas to invest, but ended up getting deeper and deeper into trouble, and even sold my house here."

"I finally managed to get out recently and came back with some money, but after all the trouble, the money I have now can't even afford a toilet here."

After hearing this, Gu Hai seemed to have found himself, and immediately began to tell his story with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Yeming was thinking about immigrating to a foreign country to enjoy life, while Gu Hai believed in investing overseas.

Gu Hai's overseas investment also had many twists and turns. Not only did he not make any money, but he suffered heavy losses. He finally managed to extricate himself and wanted to return with the remaining money.

It turns out that the Rabbit Coin has appreciated significantly in the past few years. When I took it out, it was paper money, but now when I want to exchange it back, it has turned into Rabbit Gold.

After all this trouble, the billionaire back then has become a pauper now. Like Jiang Yeming, he can only look at the villa inside and feel regretful.

The two of them felt sympathy for each other and couldn't help but sit down and talk for several hours, which made both families burst into tears.

When the two families were in China, they were definitely respectable people and billionaires.

Rich people with assets worth hundreds of millions, successful people who live in villas and drive luxury cars.

However, after all the hard work, all the wealth he had worked hard for his whole life was gone, and now he has become a pauper. The key point is that everything that he once despised, he can no longer get it even if he wants it.

"Alas, I heard that there are already millions of people trying to find a way to regain their domestic household registration."

“I don’t know whether the restrictions in this regard will be relaxed to allow people like us to regain our identity and household registration.”

"It's difficult. The management in this area has always been very strict and the restrictions will not be relaxed easily."

"We shouldn't have believed those lies in the first place. If we had stayed in the country, we could have lived out our lives in peace and contentment now."

"That's right. I regret it so much."

"My parents passed away this year, and they left a homestead in the countryside. Logically, I should have inherited it, but I don't have a household registration, so I'm not eligible to inherit the homestead in China. I can only watch helplessly as my homestead is taken away."

"That's right. I used to think that my children would definitely get better education abroad than in China, but after going there, I found out that education abroad is even worse, especially education in public schools. It's awful. Even after finishing high school, they may not be as good as elementary school students in China."

"Even private schools are getting worse and worse, especially in recent years, with the terrible economic situation, private schools are also failing, all kinds of terrible things."

"My eldest son Gu Ziqing was indoctrinated with some LBTG ideas at school. He has become a woman and even calls himself a woman. But I don't even have the right to stop or interfere."

"."

Jiang Yeming and Gu Hai cried more and more as they talked, and the more they cried, the more regretful they felt. In the end, they both couldn't help but hold their heads and cry.

Jiang Hou was watching silently at the side. Having studied abroad, he knew the conditions of overseas schools very well.

It's simply beyond description.

It was better when the economy was good before, but in recent years as the economy has gotten worse and worse, both public and private schools, as well as many of the former world-renowned universities, have become extremely bad and feel rotten.

There are so many things to talk about, and all kinds of shocking thoughts are spreading wildly, swallowing up more and more young and ignorant people like a black hole.

Jiang Hou, Jiang Yeming and Yu Ling, a family of three, took a flying drop back to the rural area where Jiang Hou's grandparents lived.

Every household in the village has a brand new house or villa.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and young people like to decorate their houses beautifully.

There are big lanterns, spring couplets, festive blessing characters, etc. in front of the doors, and many families even have various colored lights. When the colored lights are turned on at night, they are very beautiful.

Anti-gravity aircraft are parked in the courtyard or in front of every household, and the whole family, young and old, are preparing to celebrate the New Year with laughter and joy.

People of similar age to Jiang Hou are basically already married, and several of them even have foreign wives.

Groups of children were wandering around the village, playing happily.

Look at your own home again.

The house they live in now was built more than 20 years ago after Jiang Yeming became rich, at the strong request of Grandpa Jiang Hou. They said that the foundation of this old home cannot be lost, so they spent some money to build a house, even if it could just be left alone.

At that time, Jiang Yeming was unwilling to die.

Because at that time he was already a successful man, the envy of everyone in the village, and a billionaire known to everyone in the surrounding area.

At that time, Jiang Yeming felt that after he became rich, his poor relatives and friends would ask him to borrow money, which would be very troublesome.

So I don’t want to have anything to do with my hometown anymore, and I don’t want to build a house there even if I die.

In the end, he only took a small amount of money and built this house on the foundation of his hometown.

Jiang Yeming never dreamed that one day he would come back and live in this shabby house.

More than 20 years have passed, and the house has become very old and the roof is leaking.

However, Jiang Yeming and his family now have to live in this house because they have no money to rebuild it.

Moreover, even if it was built, Jiang Yeming, Jiang Hou and others did not have household registration here, so they had no way to build it here.

It can only be built in the name of Grandpa Jiang Hou, but Grandpa Jiang Hou is already over 80 years old. Once he is gone, the foundation will be taken back by the village.

Looking at his old house, Jiang Yeming felt extremely sad.

When he met the villagers again, he avoided them even more and was too embarrassed to see them.

After all, he used to despise the villagers, thinking that they were all paupers who would never get rich in their lives and would live a life like that.

Even when he immigrated, he returned to the village and showed off in a very high-profile manner.

More than a decade ago, he was quite cocky, always bragging about the good things about foreign countries and how happy his life would be after he went abroad.

Now he returned to the village in such a miserable state that he was too embarrassed to greet people.

His story had spread throughout the village, and even to the surrounding area. Everyone knew about his family's affairs.

A wealthy man who once had hundreds of millions of dollars gave up the good life in his country and insisted on immigrating abroad. As a result, he was fleeced and now returns to his hometown as a pauper.

This has become a joke in the surrounding area.

When he returned home, Jiang Hou's grandparents, who were already in their eighties, were busy preparing meals.

The meals are very rich. There is absolutely no problem with eating and drinking in China nowadays. After all, the prices are quite cheap.

"Ugh!"

The old man looked at the lively and bustling households and groups of children in his neighborhood, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily.

He didn't say much, but everything was expressed in this sigh.

The old man used to strongly oppose their emigration.

The same New Year, but with completely different moods.

　Is there anyone among you who regrets immigrating?
