Chapter 0769 Driver's License

If it were ten years later, Zhao Fusheng certainly wouldn't have been able to get a driver's license in such a short time. But now, if it weren't for his aversion to breaking the law and not wanting to exploit this loophole, he could even use this loophole to make money.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Zhao Fusheng smile so smugly, Jiang Wen couldn't help asking.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged and didn't hide it from him: "It's simple. I take my passport, travel to Jeju Island in South Korea, get a Korean driver's license, and then exchange it when I come back."

"Huh?" Jiang Wen was stunned, dumbfounded. He never imagined such a thing was possible.

In fact, Jiang Wen didn't know that in recent years, many Chinese people had been going to South Korea on tourist visas to get driver's licenses. And Jeju Island, with its visa-free policy, had become the top choice for driving tests, with many travel agencies offering 'driver's license tours.'

Because South Korea had joined the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic many years ago, along with nearly two hundred other countries. These countries had signed the convention, meaning driver's licenses could be used interchangeably among them. Simply put, a Korean driver's license could be used directly in other countries or exchanged for a license from another signatory country without retaking the test. Moreover, getting a driver's license in South Korea was extremely easy. Korean driving schools with Chinese classes offered the entire process in Chinese. Anyone would see this as a shortcut.

You see, the process for the Korean driver's license test was quite simple: a 99% pass rate for the written test, and practical tests with instructor guidance. Generally, after completing these steps, you could get a Korean driver's license.

After getting the license in South Korea, you could return to China, go to the vehicle management office in your registered residence, present your license, translation, and ID card, tell the staff you wanted to exchange a foreign license for a domestic one, take a very easy test, and it was done.

After Zhao Fusheng explained the process, Jiang Wen was completely stunned, staring at him wide-eyed. He really hadn't thought you could exploit the law like this.

"This..." Jiang Wen hesitated, feeling something was off but unable to articulate it.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said nothing more.

There was no point explaining certain things to Jiang Wen now. There were too many factors involved. Within a few years, the government would ban such practices, as they created a large number of road hazards and caused driving schools to lose students.

The two returned to Zhao Fusheng's home. Jiang Wen stayed for a while and then left.

In the evening, when Fan Baobao came back, Zhao Fusheng told her about buying the car. Fan Baobao was at a loss.

"Why are you buying a car?"

Clearly, Fan Baobao didn't understand Zhao Fusheng's thinking either.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "No particular reason. I just think we should have a car for transportation."

Then he explained his method of getting a driver's license and asked her, "Are you going to take the test in China, or come with me to South Korea?"

Fan Baobao shook her head: "I'll take the test at home this summer."

"Why?" Zhao Fusheng was momentarily puzzled, then shook his head: "I understand. That makes sense."

At first he didn't get it, but after thinking it over, he understood Fan Baobao's reasoning. Since she was in the entertainment industry, if this were exposed, it would be a stain. It was better to be cautious and just take the test in China.

The next morning, the car was delivered.

Yes, Zhao Fusheng had arranged for home delivery with the seller.

Looking at the new car parked in front of the house, Fan Baobao was delighted. She ran over and sat inside for a long time.

Zhao Fusheng looked at her fondly and shook his head: "It's not like you've never seen a car before. Is it that big a deal?"

"That was someone else's. This is ours. It's different!" Fan Baobao retorted, then urged him: "Go to South Korea quickly, get your license, and come back to take me for a spin."

She knew Zhao Fusheng could drive because he had driven before, back home.

In fact, Zhao Fusheng just needed a license now, which was why he was thinking of taking the test in South Korea.

"Alright, I'll buy the ticket now." Zhao Fusheng nodded helplessly.

He didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters, as he had other things to do.

The next day, Zhao Fusheng signed up for a tour group to South Korea, departing in mid-June for ten days. But since there were no so-called 'driver's license tours' yet, he had to arrange it himself.

...

...

On the day of departure, Zhao Fusheng left home with his suitcase and arrived at Jeju Island in the evening. Jeju Island is the largest island in South Korea, also known as Tamna Island, Honeymoon Island, and Romantic Island. Located in the East China Sea, 100 kilometers southwest of South Jeolla Province, it covers nearly 2,000 square kilometers, including 26 small islands. The island is elliptical and formed by volcanic material. Hundreds of hills, coastal waterfalls, cliffs, and lava tunnels attract tourists from around the world.

Of course, for Zhao Fusheng, these places held little appeal. He wasn't here for sightseeing anyway. Besides, the scenic spots the Koreans boasted about seemed laughable to him.

Seriously, the king's Gyeongbokgung Palace was even smaller than the temporary palace in Shencheng. How could that interest Zhao Fusheng?

Perhaps this was the depth of a great civilization. Of course, that didn't include those idiots who forgot their roots and thought the moon was rounder abroad. In their eyes, even foreign feces smelled sweet.

He found a hotel and checked in. Using the hotel's long-distance phone, he called Fan Baobao to let her know he was safe, then went to sleep.

Strangely enough, in this weird place called South Korea, foreign SIM cards didn't work. You could only use the landline in the hotel to make calls.

Officially, it was explained that South Korea's network standard was different from other countries. But in Zhao Fusheng's view, it was just a trick from this 'universal nation.' After all, they even thought their own beef tasted better than imported beef.

That said, he had to admit the Koreans were efficient. A week later, Zhao Fusheng happily received his driver's license from a Korean clerk.

From today on, he could legally drive on the road.
