Chapter 500 Veterans receive ID cards
Entrance of Sham Shui Po Police Station
Wang Jin and nine other fellow mainlanders came out with a red ID card, and they all looked like they were dreaming.
There was no expected surprise, but instead everyone was a little scared.
Huang Xiaoji asked weakly: "Brother Jin, are we from Xiangjiang? Is this considered treason? Can we return to our hometown in the future?"
For the soldiers, treason is definitely the most serious crime among all crimes. Betraying the motherland means that you will never be able to return home or be buried in your ancestral grave.
Wang Jin was also uneasy, but he knew that he was the backbone of everyone and had to pretend to be calm.
"How is that possible? How can we be considered treason? Don't forget that before we came to Xiangjiang, we were received by the leaders of the Huadu Military Region. We came to Xiangjiang to make extra money. Isn't this a disguised form of creating foreign exchange for the country."
"Yes, we are appointed by the state!"
"I am absolutely loyal to the country!"
In fact, the barrier policy was only publicly allowed in 1974. In fact, in 1961, you could theoretically obtain a Xiangjiang ID card as long as you had the ability to go to Xiangjiang.
For example, if the Lin family has an exit certificate from the Mainland, they can freely set foot on the land of Hong Kong without the consent of the Hong Kong Eagle Government.
However, as the impact of domestic natural disasters emerged, a large number of people fled Hong Kong, especially in Dongguang Province. At first, entire villages and later entire townships fled to Hong Kong.
In the end, almost all men, women, and children in the entire county fled to Hong Kong.
For example, in Bao'an County, which is closest to Xiangjiang, almost everyone in the county has fled to Hong Kong, and the entire county has been emptied, which is very exaggerated.
The Hong Kong Eagle Government began to definitely welcome mainlanders. For example, those who came before 1949 were mainland tycoons, bringing a large amount of capital and prospering Hong Kong's economy.
Most of the people who fled Hong Kong after 1949 were strong laborers. These people became the bottom class of Hong Kong, allowing Hong Kong to enjoy the demographic dividend.
But after all, Xiangjiang is just a small place. It cannot even be self-sufficient in daily necessities and cannot support a sudden population explosion.
So when hundreds of thousands of people from the mainland suddenly flooded into Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government panicked because they couldn't afford to support so many refugees, so they had to repatriate them.
Of course, they are not going to kill you with a stick. The unspoken rule is that if you can reach the city, even if you win, you can get a Xiangjiang ID card.
Otherwise, I'm sorry, I'll go back and forth wherever you come from. I can at most give you a few pieces of bread before leaving.
Specifically, the standard is "boundary street".
Boundary Street is actually an east-west road, with the New Territories to the north, which is legally leased land, so it is not considered official Eagle Country territory.
To the south of Boundary Street is Kowloon, which is considered the urban area. When you get here, you can find a police station and get a Hong Kong ID card.
However, it is difficult for ordinary people to get here. There are many checkpoints on the road, and there are countless corporate elements chasing and blocking them.
Of course, Wang Jin and the veterans he represents are exceptions, because no one in Xiangjiang can defeat them. They are naturally the strong ones of the jungle law in this capitalist city.
After getting his ID card, Lu Xuezhi had come to his senses and asked:
"Brother Jin, what are we going to do next?"
Wang Jin touched the oil paper bag on his chest and said with a smile:
"When we set off, we had 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was the travel expenses that Staff Lin gave us. After these days of eating, drinking and sleeping, we still have 24,000 Hong Kong dollars left. Everyone, look at the tattered clothes on your body. Let's go. Buy some good clothes.”
Huang Xiaoji was excited now and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, my best clothes are the military uniforms from the army. I haven't had new clothes in my family for many years."
Wang Jin touched this little brother's head: "Buy! Buy a few more sets per person and you can change them!"
In order to successfully obtain ID cards and show their identity as mainlanders, these veterans did not change their clothes after arriving in Xiangjiang, and still wore obvious mainland rags.
Liu Genchun touched his belly: "Brother Jin, can we buy roast goose first? I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat..."
Wang Jin looked at a small restaurant opposite the police station, then looked at the drooling fellow villagers around him, and waved his hand:
"Eat, let's eat enough today, and then go find Staff Lin after eating."
"Wow~~Okay~~"
"Long live Brother Jin~~"
“Long live the barbecued pork~~”
According to Lin Sanqi's opinion, he actually doesn't mind these veterans strolling around Xiangjiang after getting their ID cards.
Kowloon City is not the most prosperous place. The most prosperous place is to take a ferry to Hong Kong Island on the other side. That is the real capitalist Hong Kong.
It’s the first time in your life that you’ve come to the world of flowers, shouldn’t you go and experience it? This is the typical tourist mentality. But these veterans were all honest people. After eating, they asked where Temple Street was and walked to Lingnan Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
This is the advantage of people from Guangdong and Guangxi. After arriving in Hong Kong, they speak the same language and can quickly integrate into Hong Kong society.
If you recruit some northern soldiers, they will not be used to the food first, and the Lin family will not be able to steam steamed buns.
Xiangjiang is a tropical place, so the climate is hard to adapt to. If you don’t know how to swim, you won’t be able to cross the sea.
The most important thing is the language barrier. If you don’t understand the language, when it comes time to go shopping, the other party will ask, “Who is coming?”
If you can't understand it, can't tell whether it's friend or foe, and can't get the information, then you're really a loser.
This is also the reason why Lin Sanqi insisted on using Guangdong and Guangxi troops.
Temple Street is located in the center of Kowloon City, next to Shanghai Street, Portland Street, Fortress Street, etc. People who often watch Hong Kong movies know that these places are almost style streets.
There are a long stretch of dance halls, karaoke bars, bars on both sides of the street, as well as countless phoenix towers upstairs.
When Lin Wushu and Lin Liushu first started running a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, because the business was not good, they set up a special department for Hualiu disease, which opened up the situation.
Later, why was the sales of Lingnan Tang Pharmaceutical Factory's "Ao Ao Ming" so popular? This is next door to Loufeng Street, and Ao Ao Ming is sold next to it. This is called a one-stop service.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
In the era when sildenafil had not yet been invented, Aaoaoao was a miracle drug and sold very well.
One can imagine how shocked these 10 veterans were when they passed by Portland Street.
When a group of gorgeous beauties, wearing heavy makeup, cool clothes, exaggerated movements and flirty expressions, appear on both sides of the street, ogling and blowing kisses at men, how many men can stand it?
"Brother Jin, wow, most of this woman's nakedness is exposed..."
"Brother Jin, these legs are so white..."
"Brother Jin, she is smiling at me and waving for me to come over. It seems that I am really pretty..."
"Brother Jin, why do you have a nosebleed..."
Wang Jin wiped away the nosebleed and then said seriously:
"Comrades, this is the sugar-coated bullet of capitalism. We must endure it and be worthy of our wives and children at home, worthy of the country, and worthy of our former military uniforms."
When Wang Jin said this, everyone else suddenly woke up and hurried past.
If Lin Sanqi was present, he wouldn't mind. You are a working people when you are a bodyguard, and Lou Feng is also a working people. She doesn't steal or rob, and relies on her body and beauty to make a living. Why do you look down on others?
If everyone is a Confucius, how can we create jobs, support Sister Feng, and make Hong Kong's economy prosper?
Ten veterans hurriedly passed by Portland Street. Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were stopped by two policemen patrolling the street.
"Stop!"
Lu Xuezhi and others suddenly raised their eyes, tensed their muscles, and were ready for battle.
Wang Jin saw the alert look of his companions and quickly said softly: "These are not gang members, they are Xiangjiang police. Don't act recklessly."
Then he stepped forward with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed and said: "Hello, comrades, what do you want me to do?"
"Oh, it turns out it's the mainland guys. When Sir came to check, they all stood against the wall and put their hands on their heads."
The two uniformed patrol officers were at the bottom of the police station, but when they faced the Yankees, they immediately started shouting and pointing with their batons.
Wang Jin heard Lin Sanqi say that if you encounter a police officer on the road after getting your ID card, don't confront him, just show him your ID card to explain, and tell the other person that you are an employee of Lingnan Hall.
In addition, put 100 Hong Kong dollars under the ID card to ensure smooth customs clearance.
"Hello, comrades, these are the ID cards of several of us. We just received them this afternoon."
Wang Jin handed over his ID card, and sure enough, 100 Hong Kong dollars was stuffed underneath.
When the patrolman took the ID card, he immediately touched a rolled-up banknote. He took a look at it and saw a hundred-dollar bill, and immediately changed into a smiling face:
"It turns out we are compatriots from the mainland. Since you have applied for ID cards, you are ours. By the way, where are you going to settle down?"
"Comrade, we are from the same hometown as Dr. Lin from Lingnan Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, and we are here to seek refuge with them."
"Hey, are you going to Lingnan Hall again? There are so many of Dr. Lin's fellow villagers here. Can their family survive with so many people coming? Okay, let's go. Lingnan Hall is on the next street. You go straight and turn left. That’s it.”
