Chapter 414: Customs Turmoil

Zhou Qing ordered the most expensive first-class ticket for Xia Ruofei, and there was a special VIP channel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The assistant he brought quickly handled the boarding pass for Xia Ruofei, and then under the leadership of the special VIP customer service, the group came to the VIP security channel.

Xia Ruofei took the small boarding box used for pretending from Zhou Qing's assistant, and then said to Zhou Qing with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I'm really sorry to trouble you to run in person at night!"

"Mr. Xia, you are too polite!" Zhou Qing said humbly, "The chairman personally instructed you to do a good job of service guarantee." ”

The task assigned by Tang He personally, Zhou Qing naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In particular, he knew very well that the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Tang He seemed to be far beyond ordinary business partners - last time Xia Ruofei built a small building on his farm, Tang He also asked him to send a Mercedes-Benz car as a gift.

The value of this car is almost equal to that of a small half of the building.

Originally, Zhou Qing wanted to arrange someone to accompany Xia Ruofei to Australia, but Xia Ruofei resolutely refused -- he is not a child anymore, and someone has to take care of him all the way when he goes abroad? He doesn't know others, anyway, he himself is not used to this.

Xia Ruofei shook hands with Zhou Qing and said, "Mr. Zhou, then I'll go in!

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You go through the security check first! If there is anything you are not allowed to carry, I can also help you bring it back." When you arrive in Australia, you will be picked up by our colleagues, and you can just tell them if you need anything. ”

"Thank you!" Xia Ruofei said.

Then he dragged a small suitcase and passed through the security check in the VIP channel under the leadership of the VIP customer service.

Xia Ruofei turned around and waved his hand at Zhou Qing, and then followed the VIP customer service to the VIP waiting room set up by Ludao Airlines at Sanshan City Airport.

As a local airline in Southeast Province, the VIP lounge conditions of Egret Island Air at Sanshan Airport are still very good.

In the 400-square-meter VIP room, dozens of single-seat leather sofas are scattered and scattered, as well as a special wine tasting area, tea art area, business area, etc., providing rich meals.

However, Xia Ruofei, who had just eaten dinner, didn't have the heart to enjoy those snacks that looked very good, he directly found a secluded corner to sit down, took out his tablet and chose a movie to pass the time.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, a waiter came over and gently reminded Xia Ruofei that he could board the plane.

So Xia Ruofei put away the tablet and dragged the small suitcase to the boarding gate.

A huge Boeing 787 wide-body passenger plane was quietly docked in front of the terminal, the boarding channel for first-class passengers and ordinary passengers was different, Xia Ruofei passed through the boarding gate, and walked down the tarmac through a door under the leadership of special personnel, and then got on the plane through a special gangway.

Although the first class cabin of the Egret Boeing 787 is not as luxurious as the A380 super first class, the comfort is also quite good, and for long-distance flights, the experience is better than the "tiger chair" of economy class I don't know how many times.

After waiting on the plane for more than twenty minutes, the hatch closed.

Soon, the plane shuddered slightly, and began to slowly retreat under the push of the ground cart, and then the engine started, and the plane taxied smoothly to the runway mouth.

Xia Ruofei fastened his seat belt as required, he felt the sound of the engine become significantly louder, and then a push back sensation came, and the plane began to accelerate and slide on the runway.

The plane lightly jumped into the night sky of Sanshan City, and the lights of thousands of homes outside the porthole gradually became farther and farther away.

Long-distance flights are very boring, so Xia Ruofei specially chose this direct flight, which can save four to five hours in the air, and the total flight time is about nine and a half hours, if everything goes well, Sydney can arrive at about ten o'clock in the morning local time.

Since it was a night flight, after the plane entered the level flight state, a beautiful first-class flight attendant soon came over and asked Xia Ruofei softly if she needed to put the seat flat and turn it into a comfortable single bed.

An important reason why Xia Ruofei chose a night flight is that he can sleep on the plane and then arrive at his destination, so he gave a positive answer.

With the help of the flight attendant, the comfortable leather seats were quickly all flattened, forming a single bed of about two meters.

However, it is already very good to have a bed on a flight, and Xia Ruofei naturally will not ask for so much.

After the stewardess brought a blanket, she politely asked Xia Ruofei if she had any other needs.

Xia Ruofei smiled and shook his head to express his gratitude, then took off his coat and lay directly on the bed.

The lights in the first-class cabin were dimmed, and soothing music flowed in the cabin, and Xia Ruofei soon fell asleep in such an environment.

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside the porthole.

He called the flight attendant over, restored the seats, and then checked the LCD screen, and found that the plane was about an hour away from landing at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport.

Xia Ruofei got up and went to the bathroom to go to the toilet, washed his face by the way, and then sat back in his seat, directly fastened his seat belt and waited for landing.

After the plane entered the descent stage, the flight attendant came to Xia Ruofei with the arrival card and asked him to truthfully fill in the items he brought into the country.

Australia's customs inspection is very strict, every incoming passenger must fill out a customs declaration, and there can be no concealment, carrying prohibited items in the most serious cases will even be sentenced, and can not be bailed.

Xia Ruofei only had a few changes of clothes in his suitcase - if it weren't for pretending, he wouldn't need to carry any luggage at all, and with the Lingtu space, even if he wanted to transport an arsenal to Australia, no one would be able to check it.

So Xia Ruofei simply glanced at the items listed on the arrival card and filled in "NO".

Soon, the plane landed smoothly at Kingsford Smith Airport.

After a short wait, the hatch opened, and Xia Ruo flew off the plane.

There is no need for quarantine procedures to enter Australia from Huaxia, so Xia Ruofei came directly to the customs counter with the flow of people.

An obese white immigration officer carefully checked Xia Ruofei's passport, arrival card, etc., and asked several questions verbally, such as "the purpose of coming to Australia", "length of stay" and so on.

Although Xia Ruofei's English is not too fluent, there is no problem with a simple conversation, and it was passed quickly.

He also didn't have any luggage to check in, so he just dragged his suitcase and walked through the green-marked passage with his immigration card in his hand.

The baggage check was still a white customs officer, very obese.

The two white passengers in front quickly passed the inspection, and Xia Ruofei stepped forward and handed him his arrival card.

The customs officer glanced at the arrival card and asked, "Anythingtodeclare?" (Anything to declare?)"

Xia Ruofei said without hesitation: "No." ”

There was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the customs officer, and he motioned for Xia Ruofei to open the suitcase for inspection.

Xia Ruofei showed a trace of annoyance in his eyes, and the two white passengers in front of him also took the green channel, and the customs only asked a few words verbally and let them go directly.

It was my turn to carry only small pieces of luggage, but I was asked to open the box for inspection.

While racial discrimination is strongly condemned everywhere, in reality discrimination is everywhere.

It is not uncommon for Chinese people to be harassed in various ways at the airport customs when they travel abroad and go on business trips.

Although Xia Ruofei was a little annoyed, the other party's request was completely in line with the regulations, and he could only open the suitcase with a frown.

The customs officer pouted and began to check.

Xia Ruofei only had two sets of clothes in his suitcase, but he checked it for more than ten minutes, and he almost didn't cut all the clothes, and the mezzanine of the suitcase was also cut open.

In the end, naturally nothing could be found, and the customs officer let Xia Ruofei go with a trace of unwillingness.

Xia Ruofei sorted out the messy suitcase with a cold expression, then glanced coldly at the fat pig-like customs officer, and dragged the suitcase out.

Xia Ruofei glanced at the crowd that picked him up, and didn't see his name in the signs that were raised.

Just when he was feeling a little confused, he heard an excited voice sound.

"Ruofei, this way!"

Xia Ruofei followed the prestige, and finally saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Liang Qichao, who was a little chubby, was waving at him excitedly.

Xia Ruofei, who had been troubled at customs for a long time and was in a very unhappy mood, had a smile on his face at this moment.

This kid really got his wish and came to work in Australia!

He dragged his suitcase and quickened his pace.

When he came to Liang Qichao, the two hugged heavily.

Xia Ruofei punched Liang Qichao's chest, laughed and said, "Brother Liang, it turns out that you have already come to Australia? Why didn't you tell me!"

"Haha, didn't I want to surprise you?" Liang Qichao said very happily, "How is it, do you feel high-spirited now?"

"It can be seen that the food here in Australia is not bad......" Xia Ruofei looked Liang Qichao up and down, and said with a smile.

"Don't open any pot and mention it!" Liang Qichao said depressedly.

At this time, a voice rang out: "Xiao Xia, long time no see......"

Xia Ruofei saw that Old Man Tang He was standing not far behind Liang Qichao, looking at him with a smile.

Xia Ruofei hurriedly walked over and said, "Mr. Tang, why did you come to pick up the plane in person, this is really unbelievable!"

Tang He laughed and said, "My plane has just landed! I asked Captain Johansen to plan the itinerary according to your flight, and my plane landed ten minutes after the flight you took!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be a little flattered when he heard this, this old man Tang really attaches great importance to himself, and it can be seen from this detail.

"Old man, you have a heart...... Xia Ruofei said sincerely.

Tang He smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Xia, is the road still smooth?, why did it take so long to come out?"

Tang He didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have a trace of anger on his face.

Tang He is also an old man, Xia Ruofei's subtle change in expression naturally can't escape his eyes, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" Xiao Xia, what happened?"

Xia Ruofei smiled a little helplessly and said: "Mr. Tang, I only saw relevant rumors on the Internet in the past, but today I really understand the discrimination that Chinese people are subjected to overseas......

After speaking, Xia Ruofei briefly said what he had just experienced, and then said with a sneer: "There are two sets of clothes in total, and the Australian customs has been stunned for fifteen minutes, and I am really drunk......

Tang He's face also sank, and he said, "Xiao Xia, I know about this matter, let's not hurry to leave first, let's sit over there for a while......"

"Old man, are you going to ......?"

"Hmph! Even my Tang He's guest of honor dare to embarrass them, don't give them some color to see how they can do it!" Tang He snorted coldly.

Xia Ruofei was not the master who swallowed his anger, he smiled when he heard this, and then followed Tang He to the rest area on the side to find a chair and sit down.

Tang He whispered a few words to a white man beside him, who nodded again and again, and then walked away quickly.

After that, Tang He sat calmly and chatted with Xia Ruofei about family life, and Liang Qichao was also indignant.

......

Baggage check-in area.

The white customs officer, who was like a fat pig, was still doing the baggage check.

He had just taken 30 seconds, asked a few simple questions, and then let an American passenger clear the country.

The next person who came to him was an old Chinese couple.

The two of them may have gone abroad for the first time, and the old gentleman, who was about 70 years old, looked a little nervous and handed over his arrival card.

The fat pig glanced at the two old Chinese men out of the corner of his eye, and asked expressionlessly, "Anythingtodeclare?"

The old gentleman should have done his homework before going abroad, and he hurriedly said: "No, sir!"

In fact, passengers who take the green channel basically have very simple luggage and no items to declare - if they are not sure in their hearts, they will take the initiative to take the red channel to be checked.

The fat pig looked at the passports of the two of them, and after finding out that they were Chinese, he immediately raised his head, and said with his nostrils facing the sky: "Open the luggage, we will check it!"

The old man's English was not very good, and he asked several times with a puzzled expression, and opened the suitcase with the fat pig's impatient look.

The fat pig unceremoniously rummaged through the old man's luggage.

Suddenly, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and he quickly took out a small lunch box, opened the lid and saw that there were two small cakes inside, and immediately said in a loud voice: "You actually brought food!
