Chang Jing took away more than ten million yuan in checks from his trip to the Bai family. With the money in hand, his next task was to study the subway routes in Guangdong Province.
In the future, the subway system in Guangdong Province will be extensive and complex. Chang Jing only needs to study the subway route map from his previous life, buy old buildings that the subway will pass through at a low price, and then wait for demolition to receive high compensation. This is another way to get rich.
Speaking of buying a house, Chang Jing is not yet eighteen years old, so he cannot buy a house in his name. However, this is not a big deal.
In his past life, Chang Jing had a classmate from an urban village. The villagers received a dividend of more than 10,000 yuan every year. In order to receive the dividend every year, his family required him to marry a woman with a rural household registration.
So he spent money to get his wife, who had an urban household registration, a completely new rural household registration in a remote area. This way, if a woman from the countryside marries into another from the countryside, her household registration can be transferred to the man's village.
A person has two ID cards, and both sets of household registration information are genuine. This situation continues until the ID card is renewed and fingerprints are used, at which point one of the identity information is chosen as the future identity.
Therefore, Chang Jing was determined to obtain another identity that indicated he was over eighteen years old. He had even met the person who handled the matter and, out of curiosity, had inquired about the details of the meeting.
Following his memories from his previous life, Chang Jing found the small shop on the main road. It was the dead of winter, and the shop owner was wearing slippers and a coat.
"Boss, Uncle Rong introduced us to get our documents processed."
The boss glanced at Chang Jing without changing his expression, "What 'Uncle Rong Tree'? I don't know him." Then he knocked on the cash register three times.
Chang Jing knew that the other party needed a code word. Those who did this kind of business operated clandestinely; who introduced them wasn't the main point, the key was that the code word had to be correct to proceed to the next step of the conversation.
"Uncle Rong's stone mill is placed under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and everyone can go there to grind flour."
Chang Jing calmly uttered the code and knocked on the cash register three times. His seemingly nonsensical words were completely incomprehensible to everyone else, so the shop owner finally gave Chang Jing a proper look.
"What do you want? Tell me your requirements!"
"I need a set of ID card and household registration information, mine, guaranteed authentic."
Upon hearing that it was for processing ID cards and household registration, the other person frowned and stared at Chang Jing for a while, probably trying to figure out what Chang Jing would use the ID cards for.
"You know, when we process your ID card and household registration, we conduct a simple investigation to make sure you have no criminal record before we help you."
For safety reasons, they have their own rules. They will absolutely not help people with criminal records with their identity information, otherwise it could easily lead to trouble.
"Of course, I can give you all the information I have now, and I'm not afraid of you investigating."
Perhaps it was because Chang Jing was open and honest that the boss asked for Chang Jing's current ID number and then made a phone call and sent a text message.
"Wait a minute, you'll get a reply in about an hour."
They can run this kind of business because they have their own people in the public security system. As long as Chang Jing's ID card doesn't have a criminal record, they can take on business.
"Young man, you're only sixteen years old. Why do you want to get a new ID card and household registration?"
"Hey boss, don't call me a kid. I'm sixteen already, and I've slept with several girls. I need this new identity to make it easier for me to pick up girls. Don't you have to be eighteen to book a hotel room with a girl?"
Chang Jing had already come up with an excuse: he was a rich and somewhat arrogant second-generation rich kid who wanted to use a different identity to pick up girls.
Are kids these days so precocious?
The shop owner's expression changed; seeing Chang Jing take out his phone, he began to believe Chang Jing's words.
He had his own cell phone at sixteen, and it looked pretty new—definitely a rich kid. Looking at his appearance, the boy had a smooth, slick, and roguish look; perhaps it really was for convenience, as he said.
"Hey handsome, getting an ID card isn't cheap! Are you sure you want to get one?"
"Pshaw, I have plenty of money. As long as you charge a normal fee, I'll pay you right away. Just don't try to rip me off just because I have money."
What a spendthrift second-generation rich kid, frivolous and extravagant.
"All-inclusive, 20,000 yuan per set, the price is absolutely fair, I won't overcharge you."
In his past life, his classmate only spent 20,000 yuan in 2005 to get a genuine set of identity information. Now the boss is also quoting 20,000 yuan?
They probably really thought he was being taken advantage of, but Chang Jing still nodded in agreement, not caring whether it was a few thousand yuan more or less.
More than an hour later, Chang Jing had already drunk three bottles of Asian Sarsaparilla and was starting to get a little impatient. Finally, the boss came out and called Chang Jing in to talk.
"Come, come, please have a seat. Mr. Chang, what kind of ID card and household registration information do you need? Do you have any other requirements?"
When dealing with a customer who paid 20,000 yuan, the boss immediately changed his attitude and became exceptionally polite.
"Change my age to two years older, and there are no other problems."
"Then we'll arrange an identity for you in a mountainous area near Meizhou. For convenience, your family members under that identity will all be gone. Sir, do you have any objections?"
"Great, I'm fine."
Everything went smoothly after the communication. We went into the back room of the convenience store to take photos, paid 10,000 yuan as a deposit, and paid the remaining 10,000 yuan a month later. Then we were able to get the new ID card and the new household registration book.
Chang Jing calculated that it would be after the New Year in a month, and his school would have started, so he wouldn't have much time to go to the provincial capital to look at houses.
He needs to take advantage of the holiday to contact a real estate agent and have them mark the properties in the areas he wants so that he can transfer ownership as soon as his new ID card is issued.
The development in the late 1990s was really fast, and he had to seize this golden period to achieve financial freedom in the future.
When the time arrived as agreed with Bai Mei, Chang Jing went to the orchid exhibition with her and saw many kinds of orchids that cost a fortune. Many of these varieties were already in his spatial storage.
What makes Chang Jing even happier is that he has many mutated orchids in his space that are not available at the exhibition. In other words, if he ever needs money, the mutated orchids in his space can be used to make money.
Liang Yi and Tang Yuan were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden at the orchid exhibition, their exaggerated exclamations bringing Bai Mei a lot of amusement.
"I knew you, surnamed Liang, were ignorant. If you treat me more politely in the future, I won't mind taking you out to broaden your horizons more often."
The two, destined to clash, would bicker without regard for the occasion. Chang Jing always felt there was going to be a show to watch when they argued, but this time he didn't get to see it for long before they ran into Old Master Chen, who had bought orchids before.
"Xiao Chang, it really is you. Come here, let Grandpa Chen introduce you to some old friends. They are very envious of my Tianyi Lotus. Knowing that I bought it from you, they all expressed their desire to meet you."
"Ha, it's time to brag to my old friends again." Old Master Chen smiled and pulled Chang Jing toward his group of old friends.
