Chapter 1686 Black is in SEA (second update, please subscribe)
Black is in SEA!
This is definitely a challenge!
After all, a long time ago, restrictions on work, renting, etc. restricted people from shadying here.
But as long as you are willing, you can still find some opportunities.
If you want to hack people here, you must first solve your identity. "The key is to get the identity first. Only by having the identity can you find a job."
Thinking through this point was George Lucas sitting up from the old spring bed in the hotel. He looked at the dazzling neon lights outside the window, and then muttered to himself.
"As long as the identity problem is solved, the rest will not be a problem."
But how can I solve the identity?
As Hollywood in the East, the city is undoubtedly prosperous.
The steel jungle composed of countless towering skyscrapers makes the human beings living in it extremely small, while the other side shows the great creativity of human beings.
The three-dimensional transportation network composed of streets, viaducts and subways made George Lucas lost it for a long time.
He always marvels at the prosperity here, and whenever he hears the sound of cars whizzing past the viaduct, a feeling even comes to George Lucas' heart.
This is the future.
Unfortunately, this future seems to have little to do with me.
"…California Governor Mr. Ronald Reagan ended his visit to the SEA and set off for California today…"
Listen to the news coming from the TV. George Lucas glanced slightly, and the screen shook a few times, and suddenly turned into a snowflake, making a hissing and harsh sound. "Damn it, I must be wondering which guy touched the antenna!" George Lucas cursed, then walked over and turned off the TV reluctantly.
He didn't want to go to the roof to adjust the antenna at this time. I'm afraid he just needs to get out of the window to get to the roof, and he doesn't want to do this.
After all, it is raining outside the window now.
After turning off the TV, only the red, green and blue light reflected by neon lights were left in the attic room.
When the colorful light came in through the windows, the whole room became a little fantastic.
In this light and shadow filled with some fantasy colors, waves of waves came from next door. The sound of red-faced and red-faced soccer sounds mixed with the sound of car horns outside the window poured into my ears.
"What a lucky guy." George Lucas refers to his neighbor, a young man who dreams of being an actor. Because he is very handsome, he never lacks female friends.
This made George Lucas very envious. After all, he was young and he also had his own desires and needs.
But it is not easy for a foreigner to find a girlfriend here.
For the past half month, George Lucas has been in the country.
In fact, there is no secret. According to the visa-free agreement between the two countries, citizens of both sides can enter each other's countries for 6 months without visa, but they can't find a job.
It is precisely because of this that he will not feel guilty. He can wander around with his head held high and his chest held high. I could even rent this loft and find a job on the same day.
Having a job means having a salary, and it means having a place for food and accommodation.
It seems that all the problems have been solved, everything is so beautiful that in the first week, George Lucas really thought this was paradise.
But by the second week, George Lucas found that things were not as good as he thought. Even though he lives in the stuffy top loft and eats the cheapest food, he still needs dozens of yuan a week. This means he has to find a part-time job that works four hours a day, or he will not make ends meet.
He didn't even dare to make a date request to a girl who had a good impression of him, because he knew that he would go for a walk in the park, dance at the park dance, and drink a few cents of beer. Although it was wonderful, it was not a wonderful night at all.
George Lucas dared not imagine his future - he traveled around the various sets every day to find opportunities, save money on his life, and work hard until middle age. If you are lucky, maybe one day, you can solve the problem of identity.
Of course, that's just some of the best possible... Perhaps, the greater possibility is that he will be caught by the police, and then faces prosecutors for illegal entry. Even if he has not violated the law, he needs to wait in line in prison for more than half a year until the police confirm that he has no illegal record, and will sue and be sent to court.
And everything needs to be queued. First, it depends on whether the police have time to determine whether he has no criminal activities, then it depends on whether the prosecutor has time to prosecute him, and finally, it depends on whether the judge has time to judge.
When a process is completed, I am afraid I will be detained for more than half a year. Even at the end, it depends on whether there is a plane to send him back to the United States.
This is the difference between SEA, they will not give anyone who tries to "black" them.
George Lucas, who had long been accustomed to all this, sat on the single bed, squinting his eyes and drinking Fanda in his hand.
Everything here is different from that in the United States. In the United States, as long as you have money, you can rent a house and find a job as long as there is recruitment in the newspaper.
But here, without an ID card, everything is useless.
George Lucas, who was sitting at the head of the bed, frowned tighter and tighter.
"What I need is an identity!"
An identity that can work legally here!
Thinking through these, George Lucas began to think about the solution.
It is not complicated to solve this problem. Any world has its dark side, and here is no exception.
George Lucas squeezed the phone number he copied from the walls of the block and tried hard, hoping that the forged documents could deceive the bosses who were recruiting workers. In this way, he can find a part-time job here. You can get at least a few yuan per hour. George Lucas was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed his hair in annoyance:
"I'm such a fool. Since my ID card can be forged..."
The university diploma can definitely be forged.
Although George Lucas has a diploma from the University of Southern California Film Department, so what?
He can't always find a job in Kuching with a foreign diploma, which will only arouse others' suspicion. After all, a European person holds a diploma from a foreign school and then looks for a job here as a Chinese, which is simply telling everyone - this guy is here.
What George Lucas needs now is a job, a job at Kuching Film Company.
Since the ID card can be forged, the education level can also be forged!
The excited George Lucas didn't want to delay for a moment, and rushed straight out of the somewhat stuffy attic room.
Run all the way into the telephone booth across the street, threw a five-cent coin, trying to control his hand that was trembling due to being too excited, and dialed it in accordance with the crumpled note containing the number.
After a few beeps, the other party answered the phone, and almost at the same time, George Lucas took a deep breath.
A slightly vicissitudes of voice came from the receiver of the phone: "Speak, I'm listening."
The other party's tone was cold, and there was not even a slight politeness of an oriental person.

But George Lucas doesn't have any time to care about these things at this moment. He lowered his voice and said:
"Sir, I need an ID card and an academic certificate."
"A driver's license plus an academic certificate, a total of 500 yuan."
The person on the other end of the phone quickly quoted the price.
500 yuan, which is almost $200.
He could barely afford this price. After all, in order to pursue his dream of film in his heart, he has worked part-time in the United States for several years.
With $2,000 in his arms, he is not a pauper with nothing.
The remaining money after buying fake documents was enough for him to live here for several months or even a year.
But Lucas was still a little confused. He asked: "Driving license? Why isn't an ID card?"
There is an identity certificate here, one is a citizen ID card. Everyone has this kind of certificate, which is also the most common certificate, but there is another driver's license. Many times people use the driver's license as an ID card.
"Identity card is too formal. No matter where you go, the other party will take a look at you a few more times. Maybe you just took your ID card to find a job and were discovered by someone. Boy, are you sure you want to apply for an ID card?"
The other party explained a few words in an extremely impatient tone.
"When you have a driving license..."
George Lucas is a little unsure.
The person on the other end of the phone muttered.
"Damn new immigrant."
The other party then explained more and more impatiently:
"The effect of driving license here is the same as that of ID cards, but many people will apply for local ID cards when they arrive in a new place.
Because this involves paying insurance and other things, not everyone will change their driver's license and there is no need to change it.
Do you understand? You use other regions here and know that no one cares.
But its effect is the same as that of an ID card. Although it will be a bit troublesome to pay insurance premiums. But you can ask yourself to pay, and people like you who are shady here only need to find a part-time job. Such jobs are all paid by yourself. "
Listening to the other party's explanation, Lucas asked inconspicuously.
"Can it work? "
"Don't talk nonsense. If you are willing, do it. If you are unwilling, do it. ”
George Lucas gritted his teeth:
"Okay, the deal is completed."
"Then it's decided. At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, bring your ID photo with you, and pay first and then the goods.
Don't be late, I'll only wait for you for two minutes."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly for convenience.
Essenting the busy voice coming from the microphone, George Lucas, who realized that he had solved his identity problem, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then waved his fist hard, and couldn't help cheering.
"Haha, George Lucas, everything will become beautiful tomorrow. You will definitely become a big director and will definitely be able to shoot a movie that will amaze people all over the world."
Under the dim street lights, George Lucas in the phone booth is full of hope for a better life in the future.
In this day, in George Lucas's view, he undoubtedly began his new life, and from today on, this will definitely be a brand new beginning.
