Chapter 304: Wave of Immigration
Guangzhou.
Nansha District.
The sun is scorching hot in July.
There weren't many people on the streets, perhaps because of the hot weather.
An unknown convenience store chain.
The clerk was looking at his phone bored. Suddenly, a middle-aged young man wearing a mask slowly pushed open the door. The clerk glanced at him.
Untidy hair, bloodshot eyes, and dark circles that look like smoky makeup.
"Another fat otaku, really an eyesore." The clerk continued to play with his phone.
Looking at the reflection on the freezer glass, the middle-aged young man shook his head in self-mockery, then opened the freezer and took out two bottles of Fat House Happy Water.
I walked around the other shelves and picked up a box of chocolate pie and two boxes of tomato soda crackers.
Put the items on the cash register.
The clerk scanned the code and 26 yuan popped up on the display .
The young and middle-aged man directly took out the payment code.
drop!
[26 yuan has been credited to my account…].
After picking up the small bag, the young and middle-aged man did not say a word to the clerk. As a person with social phobia, he did not care about the clerk's indifference, but was afraid that the clerk would be too enthusiastic.
He looked at the balance on his phone.
[Balance: 573 yuan].
A man was walking aimlessly on the empty street. He opened the fat house happy water and drank a big sip happily: "Hoo... burp..."
I passed by the rice noodle roll shop where I often ate before, and was about to buy a portion, but I found that the shop had pulled down the shutter.
There is a red paper pasted on the door saying that the shop is for rent.
"Closed? It's normal for the food to be closed if it's so bad." He stood there for more than ten seconds, his eyes slightly blank.
After going to college in Guangzhou, he chose to stay here to work.
Things were going smoothly at the beginning. He was hired by a game company as an artist. However, the company went bankrupt in 2017, so he and several old colleagues opened a private studio. The studio was able to obtain some business orders from various websites.
But the good times did not last long. Starting from 2020, the studio's business orders became fewer and fewer, and the previous partners also had internal disagreements. In June 2021, they finally parted ways.
He also moved from Haizhu District to Nansha District where rent was cheaper, and used his personal account to take some illustration business orders online.
Return to the small house I rented.
I washed my face and cooked a bag of instant noodles.
He sat in front of the computer, looking at the accounts of Mi Painter, Huaguo Illustration, Weibo, and Bilibili. After reading through the private messages, he did not see any inquiries.
I haven't received any orders for more than two months. The competition in the illustration industry is very fierce now, with a large number of newcomers pouring in and constant price wars.
On the other hand, AI painting technology is constantly improving. Now AI has taken over a large part of the market share of many ordinary figure paintings and headshots.
"Huh..." He sighed and slurped up his instant noodles.
When he opened Station B, he found that Khan had updated his blog, titled "The Potential of Homo Sapiens and Southeast Asian Integration".
Click on the video.
He watches videos not because he is interested in international affairs, but to broaden his horizons and avoid being out of touch with society.
The age of thirty.
An awkward and helpless age.
He is a young man in law, but middle-aged in the eyes of ordinary people. He doesn't know when this age of neither young nor old will pass.
After watching the video, I finished eating the instant noodles.
Touching his slightly swollen belly, he leaned back in his computer chair, staring at the gray ceiling with his eyes somewhat scattered , as if drifting thousands of miles away.
"Going back home?"
The face in my memory suddenly became clear, and the wrinkles on his face were like the thousands of ravines and gullies on the loess plateau.
Before I knew it, tears were already sliding down my cheeks.
He wiped away his tears and patted his face: "Cheer up, there is nothing you can't overcome."
After adjusting his mindset, he continued to look for orders on various websites, while also looking for other channels to make money.
Half an hour later, he suddenly stopped the mouse and fixed his eyes on a web page.
[Dream Country Company is recruiting comics story writers, who are responsible for writing comics...
The basic salary is 500 gold yuan per month, the probation period is 3 months, and after being promoted to Class C employees, you will automatically receive an invitation for an internal employment contract from Zhiren Company (immediate relatives must immigrate together). Please refer to the attachment for employee levels and salary benefits...].
Sapiens? Of course he knew about this giant company that dominated Southeast Asia and forced America to retreat.
Although Sapiens claims to accept all immigrants, it does not refuse everyone.
First of all, individual immigration is not accepted and must be based on family units.
Secondly, they cannot engage in any behavior that is harmful to Sapiens, or make any remarks that discredit Sapiens, nor can they have any specific criminal record.
The last one is the special review by the Immigration Department, which is actually a secret investigation by the Field Affairs Department.
Since Zhiren Company opened its immigration channels, a large number of gone to Zhiren Company’s human resources department to apply for immigration.
The quality of immigrants from East Asia is acceptable, but there are many problems with immigrants from South Asia and West Asia.
For example, there are suicide bombers with ill intentions, and their families are controlled by gangs. They plan to let young people immigrate to the Homo Sapiens company, and then the gangs will ask these people to remit money back continuously, or they are simply intelligence pawns of all parties.
This kind of screening did not seem troublesome to the Field Department, but rather they enjoyed it.
For example, a dozen or so hyenas from Samoth were taken control by the field department and transformed into soldiers.
There are also those gangs who want to threaten immigrants by kidnapping family members. They are directly tracked down by the field department and wiped out at once.
This makes many forces think that they have succeeded, but in fact they don’t know that they are acting in blatant hostility.
However, this kind of thing did not affect ordinary people.
The scale of the companies of immigrant Homo sapiens in East Asia is actually the largest.
This July.
There are approximately 720,000 people in the three East Asian countries who have obtained temporary visas as employees of the Sapiens company, not including their families.
Because a temporary visa is only valid for half a year, after half a year, if you don't want to stay, you have to leave on your own. If you are willing to stay, you must bring your immediate family members over within one month.
According to the regulations of the Human Resources Department of Zhiren Company, the immigration process can usually be divided into three stages: the probation period (six months), the internship period (six months), the formal period - natural persons, and the undisclosed formal period - new humans.
If you are a new human being (lurking outside), you can directly skip the probation period and internship period and become a formal new human being.
For those who don’t have too much ambition but want to live a decent life, choosing Immigration Sapiens Company is naturally the best choice.
Those who want to be billionaires or those whose families have some assets will definitely not choose Sapiens.
After all, there is no such thing as bringing capital into the company. Just because you are a billionaire, you will not be superior to others or get the company's original shares after joining the company.
The original shares of Zhiren Company had only one owner from the beginning to the end, and that was Li Qingye.
Since there is no way to invest in the Sapiens company.
So why would they join Sapiens?
Wouldn't it be good to be a Tianlong person in other places?
Or is it that billions of assets are no longer attractive?
Many of the people who now come to join Zhiren Company are young people from ordinary families.
They have no company, no houses, no factories, no large farms, and no shops to inherit.
There is no love, wife or children, perhaps only elderly parents.
They have almost nothing, so they are willing to leave their hometown with their parents to find the world of their dreams.
