Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 429 Entering the Mainland

While immersed in research at Hogwarts, Sai did not forget his identity as Chen Shu.

This identity is very formal, and everything has traces. In this era, the network system is not particularly developed. As long as there is no detailed investigation, it can generally be dealt with.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Sai took time out to fly to Hong Kong Island and left an entry record at the border.

Later, he rented a house in Hong Kong Island for a long time, near the villa where he cast the Fidelius Spell.

In the first few months of school, he would occasionally appear in Hong Kong Island during his spare time so that the neighbors around his house would feel that he had always been in Hong Kong Island and had not left.

After performing continuously for nearly three months, Sai felt that it was time to enter the mainland.

The process of entering the mainland was smooth, without the local wizards coming out to investigate as he had imagined.

Going through customs is even easier.

Sai grew up in a similar environment in his previous life, so it was very easy for him to avoid being recognized as an outsider.

After arriving in Shenzhen, I went to exchange for a mainland driver's license.

If you hold a Hong Kong driver's license and want to exchange it for a driver's license in the Mainland, you do not need to take an exam. You only need to provide a photo and pay a small amount of exam-related fees.

Because he had to go back to school, after paying the fee, Sai chose to have the agency mail his driver's license to the house he rented in Hong Kong.

When applying for a driver's license, you must buy a car for transportation.

His purpose of coming to the mainland was not to cause trouble, but to explore the launch route of his own space base.

We missed the launch of the synchronous satellite in 96 due to lack of attention, but we cannot miss the launch of this one in 97.

The possibility of receiving news from the Far East Muggle world at Hogwarts is naturally very small, so Sai has to come to Hong Kong Island for a while whenever he has time.

Nowadays, with the increasing popularity of the Internet, some non-confidential information is everywhere on the Internet.

His continued attention finally paid off. He learned from the Internet that a synchronous satellite would be launched into space on May 97, 5.

The Dongfang Hong-3 satellite will be launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, and Sai came here for this purpose.

Three days later, Sai got an inland driver's license. At the same time, with money, he bought a Jeep Cherokee that was good at roaming in the wilderness, which was a joint venture car.

With a price of 120,000 RMB, it is like a living Buddha among many old masters. You should know that even a Jetta costs nearly 150,000 RMB, an ordinary Santana costs 140,000 RMB, and a better one costs 200,000 RMB.

However, in this era, even if it is only 100,000 yuan, it is an astronomical figure that ordinary families dare not even think about. It is a remarkable thing for a village to have a millionaire.

The reason why Jeep is so people-friendly is that its basic business in its home country of the United States is not doing well during this period, and it is relying on the company in Beijing to make a comeback.

The concept of off-road is just emerging now, and all vehicles with square heads and big butts are called jeeps.

The reason for this situation is the comprehensive cooperation between the Jeep brand and domestic automobile companies.

Before the reform and opening up, the technology of domestic cars was really backward. After the reform and opening up, it was necessary to introduce foreign technology to upgrade their own. It happened that the Jeep brand in the United States could not survive, so the two parties hit it off and established the Beijing joint venture company.

Because the Jeep model is so popular, Chinese people think that all models of this type are called Jeeps.

Even cars of other brands, as long as they are of this type, are named Jeep, such as Toyota Jeep and Honda Jeep.

This led to Jeep having to launch an advertisement to justify itself, "Not all Jeeps are Jeeps!"

Driving on the uneven and wide mountain road, Sai experienced the feeling of cars of this era.

The current car models are still mainly practical, especially the Jeep brand which is the representative of muscle cars, so don’t demand too much from the driving experience.

However, Sai happens to be a pragmatist and does not particularly pursue comfort or too many fancy functions.

The Xichang Satellite Launch Center is located in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. Sainz had already made a plan before going there. After the reform and opening up, the launch center was directly opened to the public as a scenic spot. There was no need to be sneaky at all. You only need to buy a ticket normally to enter.

It is nearly 2,000 kilometers to drive from Shenzhen. The current road system is not as good as that of later generations, so it takes a little longer.

Fortunately, Sai is not in a hurry now. He stops to camp when he sees beautiful scenery. He is still a professor at Hogwarts and needs to go back to teach his students.

The driving could only be done during spare time, so we stopped and started along the way and arrived at our destination in mid-December.

When he arrived at the place, Sai rented a yard in Xichang City for a long time, so he had a place to stay.

I went to the city center and sublet a medium-sized cake shop. I inspected the business of the employees there. The three salesgirls were retained, while the two pastry chefs were all fired.

It's not Sai's fault for destroying someone's job. If those two pastry chefs were really good, the cake shop wouldn't have been transferred out.

At that time, some Western things were quite popular in China, so it didn’t take too much time to recruit a new pastry chef, and soon, Chen’s Bakery opened for business.

Before the new pastry chef came, Sai worked as the boss and baker for a few days. As soon as the new chef came, he immediately resigned and remained unmoved even when customers expressed their desire to stay.

"Boss, the bakery you make is better than most of the ones on the market," the new baker asked humbly, "Can you teach us?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have time." Sainz rejected mercilessly, "Christmas is coming soon, you work hard, I will give you overtime pay," Sainz casually handed over a big pancake, "Your level is already very good, after two more years of experience, it will be better for you to open your own store.

Besides, I guess you can see that I am just doing this for fun, and I might not plan to do it anymore one day. If you want to take over at that time, I can sell it to you at a low price."

The two new pastry chefs were the kind who had just graduated from school not long ago. They still had a sense of innocence and enterprising spirit. Their eyes lit up when they were tempted by Sai's big cakes.

After encouraging the pastry chef, Sai gathered the three sales girls together and directly promoted the oldest one.

To say that they are old is only relative, as the oldest is only twenty-two.

"Mai He, I now appoint you as our store manager, and you will be fully responsible for all matters related to Chen's Bakery."

"Ugh?"

"Huh?" x2

"Well, it's settled," Sai said irresponsibly, "You used to work as a cashier, so you know about finances. If you need anything, just ask the two bakers. Manager Mai, I trust you!"

"what?"

He handed the financial power to the new manager and left the bakery.
