Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

"If you have the same qualifications, you can also apply. Yunlan City has a dedicated team of expert reviewers."

"Otherwise, you either need personal assets of fifty million US dollars or be a senior executive of a global corporation; there's no other way to immigrate."

"Oh, right, there's another way. If you work in Yunlan City for a year, you can apply for a five-year work visa. After six years, you can apply for a work ID card."

Michael was stunned after hearing what the taxi driver said.

I could hardly believe my ears. How could Yunlan City's immigration policy be so strict?
"So you've applied for a work ID now, right?"

"No, I haven't been here for five years yet. Anyway, I'm just waiting. Maybe in a few years, Yunlan City's policies will change again?"

Michael suddenly asked, "Then why do you want to immigrate to Yunlan City so badly? Wasn't your previous country good enough?"

"Okay, but it's definitely not as good as Yunlan City. You've only just arrived in Yunlan City, so you don't know much about it."

The taxi driver immediately launched into a long, detailed explanation.

At this point, we were still some distance from the Yunxingzhou International Hotel. Throughout the rest of the trip, the taxi driver kept introducing Yunlan City.

He introduced everything, good or bad, to the best of his ability.

For example, the driver only briefly mentioned things like maternity benefits, free medical care, and education, without going into detail.

Instead, the driver focused on introducing the culture, transportation, food, accommodation, and employment opportunities in Yunlan City.

"For example, my job is the simplest and easiest. My monthly salary is about one thousand to one fifteen hundred US dollars. I work six hours a day and have two days off a week."

"So I also have a part-time job as a factory worker in a supermarket. With both jobs combined, my salary is probably over two thousand US dollars a month."

Michael was stunned, and asked incredulously, "You said you have two jobs? And you earn more than two thousand dollars a month?"

Although both jobs are a bit busy, the salaries are high.

Two thousand US dollars a month, that's twenty-four thousand US dollars a year. Even if you only save ten thousand US dollars a year, that's still incredibly impressive.

Moreover, Michael heard from the other party that renting a room would be relatively expensive, at three hundred US dollars a month, while food, drink, and other necessities would only cost two or three hundred US dollars.

And he wasn't alone; he worked in Yunlan City with his wife.

His wife earns about the same as him, and the two of them can save at least $30,000 a year.

Michael was completely overwhelmed.

Yunlan City is truly a land of opportunity. Even a low-level worker can earn an annual salary of $24,000, and it's very stable.

Michael worked himself to the bone at Sam's Supermarket every day. Although he worked eight hours a day, he was too exhausted to do any part-time work after get off work.

His take-home pay was only $1,200, so his annual salary was only $14,000, $10,000 less than that of a taxi driver.

Defensive!
At this moment, Michael truly broke down all his defenses.

I can't hold it any longer!

Thinking back, he was full of superiority before he came. After all, Yunlan City was just a newly established city. So what if it was powerful?

Thinking back to the five-day room in Yunxingzhou that he had booked for a thousand US dollars, he suddenly felt a burning pain.

However, the accommodations in Yunlan City are indeed ridiculously expensive.

"What procedures do I need to follow if I want to work in Yunlan City?"

Michael immediately asked.

Even though he hadn't started his vacation in Yunlan City yet, he was already tempted to stay and work there.

With a salary difference of 10,000 yuan, who wouldn't want to stay in Yunlan City?

"You can go to the immigration office to find out more, but it's a bit late now, you'll probably have to wait."

The driver paused, then continued:

"If you're a university professor, especially a mathematics professor, then getting a job here shouldn't be a big problem. You might even get a work ID, or even a formal ID, much faster than ordinary people like us."

"Alright, we've arrived at the Yunxingzhou Hotel. Please take your luggage and have a pleasant holiday."

What a wonderful holiday!

At this moment, Michael was already itching to stay and work in Yunlan City.

After thanking the driver, Michael went into the hotel, checked in at the front desk, and then went to his room.

The receptionist was very pretty, but Michael had no interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery.

Compared to these options, staying in Yunlan City to work is undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, according to that driver, there are far too many beautiful women in Yunlan City.

Moreover, there are far more unmarried people than married people. Why is that?

Because many beautiful women hope to marry locals of Yunlan City, that is, those who hold official Yunlan City ID cards.

These people are all Chinese, or Chinese who came from mainland China.

And these people all share another characteristic: they are honest, kind, and very wealthy.

Michael once asked, quite puzzled, why they were rich.
The driver said that those who can participate in the desert greening project are all from this group of people, with an annual salary of $100,000 or more.

At Sam's Club, a salary of $100,000 a year would be equivalent to that of a regional director at a multi-store chain. Managers at this level oversee stores in several states, and there are very few of them in the entire chain.

However, in Yunlan City, there are countless people who can earn an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars.

After all, there are over 100,000 people busy planting trees along the Great Wall of Forest, and Yunlan City is negotiating with its neighbor, so it's estimated that they can acquire over 100,000 square kilometers of land.

Once the negotiations are finalized, the Great Wall of Forest is expected to expand further.

At that time, even more people will be needed to plant trees and create forests.

Michael asked, "So, can someone like him apply for the job?"
Definitely not!

To be eligible to apply for this job, one must first possess a valid permanent ID card from Yunlan City; otherwise, participation is not possible.

Secondly, one must possess certain agricultural knowledge and the ability to identify plants.

Finally, you need to pass an interview and assessment.

This kind of assessment is completely different from other assessments; it involves directly throwing people into sheds for planting trees.

It's complicated, and Michael is just a tourist who doesn't have a permanent ID card, so it's impossible for him to get this kind of job.

Michael tidied up his hotel room briefly and then admired the view outside the window.

An hour later, he left the hotel and headed straight for the nearest immigration office.

Upon arriving at his destination, his eyes widened in disbelief at the sheer number of people before him—a dense, overwhelming crowd. "Do so many people want to immigrate?" he wondered.

The people queuing here are predominantly white, with a few Chinese faces, and absolutely no black people.

Because Yunlan City completely prohibits black immigration, there are not many black tourists even visiting Yunlan City.

Yunlan City does not accept Black immigrants, or rather, its immigration policy towards Black people is even more stringent.

They are either winners of international awards such as the Nobel Prize or the Fields Medal, or they have made significant inventions or creations, or they have a personal fortune of 500 million US dollars.

There is no other way to immigrate to Yunlan City.

Goodness, a person like that would be a superior person in any country in the world.

Humans are highly social animals, so it's unlikely that a Black person would come to Yunlan City, where there are almost no Black people.
In conclusion, Yunlan City's immigration policy is indeed outrageous.

Michael has given up all hope of immigrating to Yunlan City; now he's only thinking about whether he can stay in Yunlan City to work.

So after consulting with the authorities, he quickly joined the queue.

More than two hours later, it was finally his turn.

Upon hearing this, the staff simply handed him a stack of documents and told him to look into it himself.

why?
Only Michael himself knows whether he meets the requirements to work in Yunlan City, and the relevant requirements are already listed above, so he can find out which requirement he meets.

After learning all about it, Michael felt refreshed.

Because he was, after all, an employee of Wanjia Supermarket, and Yunlan City was relatively friendly to the employees of Wanjia Supermarket.

Employees of Wanjia Supermarket, especially those with more than five years of service, can apply to work in Yunlan City.

However, the salary might not be that high.

In short, Michael can come to work in Yunlan City; we'll see how things go.

If we're lucky, we might even be able to move over and do the same job at Wanjia Supermarket in Yunlan City.

Michael will enjoy the same benefits as most employees of Yunlan City, and he can then take on part-time jobs.

Around the same time as Michael, more than a million people around the world, driven by curiosity, came to Yunlan City.

After arriving in Yunlan City, their sense of superiority was completely shattered, and they went to the immigration office to inquire whether they could immigrate to Yunlan City.

Because compared to their own country, Yunlan City is truly amazing.

Although Yunlan City is just a small place, with an area of ​​less than one million square kilometers, well, it's probably almost there.

After all, Yunlan City's top management is negotiating with Ethiopia, and it's estimated that there will be a result soon.

Even with an area of ​​one million square kilometers, Yunlan City is just a small place.

The population isn't large either; currently, there are only about five million people holding Yunlan City ID cards.

Of course, the number of people holding Yunlan City visas, temporary ID cards, work ID cards, etc., is already close to four million.

Some people left Yunlan City, while others wanted to enter it.

However, most of those who left Yunlan City were not there voluntarily, but were forced to do so.

"You mean that the number of tourists visiting Yunlan City recently has more than doubled compared to before?"

Soon, Zhao Mancang received a report from the head of the immigration bureau and asked in surprise.

Previously, Sam, Great Britain, and other European and American countries had smeared Yunlan City, so he ordered a counterattack to reveal the truth and clear Yunlan City's name.

Unexpectedly, this reversal not only prevented the United States and other countries from succeeding, but also boosted Yunlan City, making the publicity campaign even more effective.

"Yes, in just these three days, the number of people entering our Yunlan City each day has reached as high as 80,000."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang nodded and said:
"Very good, very well done, keep up the good work!"

After a pause, Zhao Mancang looked at Lü Yangui, who was not far away, and said:

"Going forward, your government office compound must continue to advance these aspects of work. Internal management must be implemented effectively. Everyone who wants to stay in Yunlan City simply desires a peaceful, safe, stable, fair, and just society, and that's what you need."

Most people who can obtain a permanent ID card in Yunlan City are Chinese citizens, with very few foreigners.

In the financial district, there are many foreigners, and this group is fundamentally different from most other groups.

It can be said that the small society in the financial district is completely different from the society of the vast majority of ordinary wage earners.

People in the City of London are all wealthy, with assets starting at millions of US dollars.

Even taking Zhou Xiaoqing and her colleagues as examples, with their salaries, it would take them at least ten years to save up a million US dollars.

However, this is not such a simple matter.

In Yunlan City, to save a million US dollars, you must have a stable job with an annual salary of 100,000.

People who can earn an annual salary of 100,000 may pay a lot of taxes each year.

If your pre-tax annual salary reaches $100,000, then you will be subject to a minimum tax of 20%, which is $20,000.

So the actual amount received will be around $80,000.

In the financial district, many people earn more than 100,000 a year; they often earn millions, or even tens or hundreds of millions of US dollars a year.

Those who are willing to stay in Yunlan City to work in finance are all from the elite class.

However, the influence of the elite class on Yunlan City society is negligible, simply because Zhao Mancang does not allow it.

In fact, Yunlan City is still managed by Zhao Mancang. Whatever he says goes.

"Okay, BOSS, no problem, I'll handle it." Lü Yangui carefully noted down Zhao Mancang's orders and nodded.

After discussing these domestic matters, Zhao Mancang then asked:

"By the way, shouldn't there be a result regarding the negotiations with Ethiopia?"

Having been delayed for so long, Zhao Mancang felt it was time to end things.

If this continues, things might get complicated.

"That's right, Boss. The other side is still hesitant because they say we're asking for an exorbitant amount and that we're going to destroy their foundation in Ethiopia."

Lü Yangui said.

This is true, because Zhao Mancang demanded the three richest mineral sites within the other party's territory, which, together with other land, covered a total area of ​​200,000 square kilometers.

This is the foundation! (End of Chapter)
