In the 1980s, Tokyo and Hong Kong were fully international metropolises, so the flights between these two cities were quite busy. It can be said that there were flights taking off and going back and forth every day.

It's normal if you think about it carefully, because in the 1980s, it was the time when the Four Asian Tigers were rising crazily, and it was also the period when Japan's economy was at its best. Therefore, in this era, it was normal for Tokyo and Hong Kong to have close exchanges.

Even if China and Japan resume diplomatic relations and direct flights, in fact most of the time, people-to-people exchanges between China and Japan are transited through Xiangjiang.

The reason is very simple, that is, although China and Japan have normalized diplomatic relations and opened direct flights between China and Japan, there are few flights and serious restrictions. It is basically impossible for ordinary Chinese people to fly directly from the mainland to Japan.

Most of them let Japanese tourists come to the mainland.

Therefore, if ordinary mainlanders want to go to Japan at this time, most of them choose to go to Xiangjiang first, and then transfer from Xiangjiang to Japan.

Although it is troublesome for mainlanders to go to Xiangjiang at this time, it is still much easier than flying directly to Japan.

In the final analysis, the reason why Xiangjiang has been economically prosperous from the 1960s to the 1990s is mainly due to the geographical environment and political environment.

Because from the 1960s to the 1990s, Xiangjiang was the only window for mainland China to trade with the Western world, so it relied on transit trade and the mainland market to make Xiangjiang so powerful.

Once the mainland begins to directly integrate with the world, especially after entering the WTO, the role of Xiangjiang's transit window will weaken, and it will naturally decline.

Therefore, the greatness of Xiangjiang does not have to do with how powerful the people of Xiangjiang are, nor does it have anything to do with whether they work hard or not. It is entirely a matter of location advantage and political advantage.

Of course, this is also in line with Cao Zhiqiang's expectations.

When we parked the car and asked, we found out that it was a pier belonging to a nearby fishing village and was mainly used for the villagers' fishing boats to dock.

Having a travel invoice can save you a lot of trouble and explanations.

As soon as you enter Shenzhen, you can immediately feel the difference.

The reason is very simple. Shekou is too far away from the SZ city and too desolate. Except for smugglers, not many people are willing to go farther and enter through Shekou.

Profit is actually secondary. The key is that once this seafood processing factory is established, it will provide many jobs. Many fishermen’s wives can work in the factory and no longer have to go to sea all day.

Finally, Cao Zhiqiang found a fishermen's pier with many fishing boats.

It is said that these seafood processing plants are the policies of the new town mayor. They are joint ventures invested by a Xiangjiang businessman. The processed seafood will be sold directly to Xiangjiang, and the profits are not bad.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang asked Anping and Xu Chun to put all the things Anping had bought before in the second Crown car. Then Cao Zhiqiang and Xu Chun got into the first Crown car, and Anping sat in the second Crown car.

In the car, they started off one after another.

It can be said that coming to Shenzhen from Xiangjiang feels like suddenly coming to the countryside from a big city.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang's ability to pass the customs so easily is mainly related to the fact that he has complete documents. If he did not have the status of a state-owned enterprise manager, a domestic official passport and a Japanese business visa, he would not have been able to pass the customs so easily.

As for where to go, it’s easy, it’s to Shekou Port.

After walking for more than an hour, we finally arrived at Shekou Port.

In 1983, official passports and Japanese business visas were not available to ordinary people. If they could get them, there was a high probability that there was a big backend, and ordinary domestic checkpoints did not dare to check them randomly.

Without the Yangtze River outlet and government support, it would be basically impossible for Shanghai to become the number one economic city in the country.

After Anping bought the things, Cao Zhiqiang waited until four o'clock in the afternoon before suddenly asking Anping to hire two taxis. The requirements were that the cars should be good and the gas should be full.

Keep walking and you will see some signs from time to time on the road, most of which say "Time is money, efficiency is life."

Cao Zhiqiang took a look and found that the house inside was very spacious, especially the yard.

During the drive, since neither Cao Zhiqiang nor Xu Chun liked to talk, the driver kept listening to music, mostly Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, and "Blooming Life".

Cao Zhiqiang asked the driver to drive along the coastal road while he kept searching with his eyes.

For example, if you bring a box of electronic products, it will basically be ignored.

Of course, in fact, to Cao Zhiqiang, the contract does not matter. As long as his transaction is 10%, the relevant departments must be responsible for arranging follow-up matters. The so-called guarantee is absolutely no problem.

Therefore, the reason why the checkpoint personnel in Shenzhen and Xiangjiang conducted very few checks on Cao Zhiqiang and his party was probably because they were concerned about their identities and did not want to cause trouble, so they only conducted necessary checks and let them go after careful inspection.

Therefore, if you have to wait for a long time, it is more comfortable to stay in a Crown car.

The biggest difference is the level of prosperity.

Of course, this is only temporary. With policy support and the location advantage of being close to Xiangjiang, Shenzhen's rise will only happen sooner or later.

Of course, even though we stayed in a luxury hotel and Cao Zhiqiang paid for it in advance, an invoice still had to be issued.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang asked the others to take another Crown car back, and at ten o'clock in the evening, he would ask Anping and Xu Chun to bring the convoy over.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is on a business trip for the country and nothing else, but this kind of travel expenses must be reimbursed.

Shekou Port at this time was not too busy. Except for Shekou Port and Shekou Industrial Zone, most of the people moored outside were fishing boats.

Although Cao Zhiqiang's request was strange, because he had been beaten before, Anping didn't ask any questions and just implemented it seriously.

It would even be easier if it was transported by a beach landing ship.

The inspections were not as strict as later.

After getting off the bus, the three of them walked to Luohu Bridge across the Shenzhen River. After crossing Luohu Bridge, they reached Shenzhen in China.

But how could Cao Zhiqiang agree?

During this period, Cao Zhiqiang acted very calmly, as if he just wanted to visit Shenzhen on a whim and stay in a hotel here.

When Cao Zhiqiang asked, he realized that "Blooming Life" is still popular today and even goes abroad and is very popular in Hong Kong.

This surprised Cao Zhiqiang and wondered where Anping got the pistol.

After that, Cao Zhiqiang ate and slept in the room. Anyway, he just rested in various ways.

The two drivers naturally disagreed with this, but Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to explain. He just gave Anping and Xu Chun a look and let them understand on their own.

However, Cao Zhiqiang thought about it and realized that if he used a fishing boat to carry the things in his carry-on space, it would be just fine. It was not impossible.

Shekou is still very hot in September, and the Crown car has air conditioning. As long as the air conditioner is turned on at idle speed, the car is very comfortable.

There is a high probability that Anping secretly contacted the relevant local authorities, otherwise he would not have obtained this thing.

This is normal. Shenzhen was just starting out in 1983, and the most luxurious hotel was just the Zhuyuan Hotel, a Sino-foreign joint venture.

Soon, Anping hired two fully-fueled Crown cars, each with a driver.

This is also in line with the characteristics of the times. After all, this year is only 1983, and Shekou Port has just opened, and it is still early to be prosperous and prosperous.

As for the cargo terminal, there is none at this time, and construction has not even started.

Reimbursing travel expenses and saving money are secondary. The main thing is to use these invoices to prove the behavior traces of Cao Zhiqiang and his party and how they got here.

In addition to the pistol, Anping most likely also obtained certain documents.

However, when leaving, Anping secretly gave a fully loaded May 4th pistol to Cao Zhiqiang so that Cao Zhiqiang could use it for self-defense.

That villager family has a house in the town, so this house along the coast has always been used as a warehouse.

Because after returning to China, RMB was available again, so Cao Zhiqiang, who was not short of money, did not hesitate and directly booked a presidential suite for himself and Anping, and also booked a presidential suite for Xu Chun, who is a woman.

A business room.

The private house Cao Zhiqiang rented was a single-family house along the coast, but the gate had been renovated so that cars could enter directly.

This is a bit inconvenient for living, but if it is used as a warehouse, especially if you want to store some private goods, it is very good.

Shekou Port has been opened at this time, but it is still only a passenger terminal, mainly undertaking passenger transportation services from Shekou to Xiangjiang.

The result was that Anping took the two drivers out to chat for a while, and they didn’t know what they said. Anyway, when they came out again, they left one Crown car behind without saying anything, and everyone else took another car.

The car drives away.

In other words, there are actually many places around that are suitable for landing on the beach.

After entering here, Cao Zhiqiang asked him to leave behind a Crown car, as well as the things Anping had bought before.

Since it is a fishing village, it naturally relies on fishing for a living, so it is normal to have a fisherman's wharf.

The inspection here mainly uses a metal detector to detect whether there are any metal products on the body. There is basically no other inspection, and the luggage is not even searched. At most, a wolf dog comes over to smell and smell, probably to detect whether there are illegal drugs.

After entering Hong Kong from Kai Tak Airport, in order to rush for time, Cao Zhiqiang did not stay to browse around Hong Kong. He took a taxi directly to Guangjiu Station, then took a train at the southernmost end of the Xiangjiang section of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, where Xiangjiang and Shenzhen take the train.

Get off at the pick up point.

From this perspective, if Cao Zhiqiang is willing to be a backpacker at this time, he can also make a fortune. After all, many things in Xiangjiang, especially electronic products, are now being snapped up in China.

After arriving at Shekou Port, Cao Zhiqiang did not let the master drive into the dock, but asked to continue driving along the seaside road to see the scenery.

After all, he has passed that primary stage and has higher pursuits.

In other words, theoretically, only the three of them knew about this operation.

To put it bluntly, none of the so-called first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen rely on location advantages and policy support. If you rely solely on yourself, you will really save money.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang simply used a commanding tone, and Anping and Xu Chun obeyed obediently.

In response, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled indifferently, without any excitement or joy.

Since the documents of Cao Zhiqiang and the three of them were complete, there was no difficulty along the way.

After all, his situation is very special and involves occultism. When using the portable space, no second person can be present.

Because the beach is very tidal, this warehouse converted from a private house is also not suitable for living.

After checking into the Zhuyuan Hotel, Cao Zhiqiang asked everyone to remain silent, that is, not to call anyone, including Uncle Lin in the capital.

In short, buying a direct ticket from Tokyo to Xiangjiang went smoothly, customs clearance went smoothly, the flight went smoothly, and entering Xiangjiang went smoothly after landing. Everything went smoothly.
