Five months later, Lu Li and Xu Yunjian stood on the streets of Causeway Bay, Hong Kong again. Looking at the endless crowds around him, Xu Yunjian leaned towards him a little, "Xiaoxiao, where are we going next?"

"First go to Mr. Zhang's law building. It's not far from here, we can just walk."

"Xiaoxiao, the last time someone helped you was for Mr. Zhou, Is it appropriate to come to the door to ask for help from others?"

"You, you don't know anything. Hong Kong is a business society. As long as you make money, they won't care about anything. Do you think Mr. Zhou is free to find them? It also costs money!"

"Ah?" Xu Yunjian didn't know about this, so he opened his mouth in surprise, "I still think it's like you're asking Team Yang to do business, based on our relationship."

"Two things are different. This is Hong Kong, and it is different from Tianjin." Mr. Zhang refers to Zhang Dadong. As mentioned earlier, he is a master who is responsible for some corresponding legal aid and other things. His office is located next to the famous Matsusakaya Department Store - a very famous Japanese department store. Like Daimaru and Fuchintoshi Department Store, which also stands in the Causeway Bay area, they are both Japanese with extremely sharp economic vision and chose and invested huge investments before the era of the global economy taking off.

Take Matsusaka House as an example. Its size is similar to that of a department store in Tianjin. The difference is that in addition to the six floors above ground, there are two underground floors, which have a wide range of goods and all the goods produced in almost all countries in the world! The construction fund for this building alone is as high as 900 million yen!

The office area where Zhang Dadong is located is on the 14th floor. After walking out of the elevator, it is a long corridor. There are signs with different words written on both sides, such as Gengsheng Law Office, Wang's Accounting Company, Manzhan Travel Company, etc. Walking around the corridor, I found a glass door with the words "Zhang Dadong Law Firm" written on it. When I pushed the door in, I saw a reception desk. A girl behind me was wearing a fitted skirt. She was smiling at the two people coming in, "Morning."

"Good morning, I want to find Mr. Zhang Dadong."

The girl didn't want to be two "old guests". She probably didn't understand what she said. She looked pretty and thought about it for a while, and she struggled to straighten her tongue, "Please... stay... a little." She picked up the phone on the table and said a few words, then put it down.

Lu Li and Xu Yunjian waited for a while, and Zhang Dadong came out of the office area with a look of surprise. "It's... Mr. Lu? Is this... Mr. Xu?"

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhang."

"Hello, hello, hello." Zhang Dadong's Mandarin was also very bad, but it was much more pleasant than the girl in charge of the reception. He shook hands with the two people with a smile and led them to the office to sit down. "Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu, what to drink? Is coffee okay?"

"Can."

Zhang Dadong arranged it. After a while, an ol came in with three cups of coffee. He arranged it in front of Lu Li and Xu Yunjian, and turned around and went out, "Mr. Lu, this time I came to Hong Kong, what's wrong?"

"I would like to ask for your help. Can you handle the household registration procedures for Xu Yunjian and me in Hong Kong?"

"Oh. This is not possible, unless you have a guarantor in Hong Kong, even if that is the case, the Hong Kong government will take a certain amount of time to verify your relationship until it is confirmed. You can only send a permanent identification document."

"This makes me confused. If you, as my guarantor, guaranteed that I came to Hong Kong, before I obtain the official identification documents, would I not even be able to go out? How can this be done in the world?"

"It is indeed not possible, but Mr. Lu, in this case, the Hong Kong government will issue you a temporary identification document with the same legal effect. This temporary document can be used until the official document is issued."

"So, what should some stowaways from mainland China do?"

"These people have no other way, so they have to wait! After a certain period of time, the Hong Kong and British governments will introduce new immigration measures, or have the opportunity to register and become official Hong Kong citizens." Zhang Dadong sighed and said, "But Mr. Lu, we two always meet one another. I really don't want you to make such a choice - the days of illegal labor are really miserable. The listeners are sad, and the listeners cry..."

Lu Li and Xu Yunjian looked at each other and laughed, "Then, Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask you, for example, if there is any other way to do this in the case of Xu Yunjian like me?"

"As for the way, of course, you know that Hong Kong is implementing a laissez-faire market economy. This... you may not understand very much. In short, it is from you..." He pointed to the ceiling with his hand, pointing to the north, "...it is completely different. So, the British Hong Kong government has opened up a new way of immigration, that is, investment methods. To explain it in terms of what you can understand, you bring some money to join the Hong Kong economic environment, and after a period of time, you can apply for a residence permit."

"Why do I have to wait for a while? During this period, wouldn't I still be unable to do anything, and I can't even get out of the door?"

"As long as you get bank proof materials with the same legal effect, you can make the official believe that you have indeed come to Hong Kong with a certain amount of funds, you can also issue a temporary residence permit. Then, after a period of economic operation and with the corresponding information as proof, you can apply..."

Xu Yunjian asked, "Why do you need to correspond to everything? Where did you get so many correspondents?"

Although Zhang Dadong could speak some Mandarin, he was confused by this very local vocabulary, "Mi Dian?"

Lu Li smiled and waved his hand, saying to Zhang Dadong: "It's okay, don't pay attention to him, Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask you, is there any quantity limit for the proof of such a bank?"

"Yes, it costs a minimum of HK$300,000."

"If I bring such a certificate, how long will it take for you to get my... what temporary residence permit?"

"Three days."

Lu Li nodded, said no more, and stood up and said goodbye to Xu Yunjian. The two went down to the first floor and turned to the Standard Chartered Bank not far from Central. This was the only place he was familiar with. When he pushed the door in, things in the world were so coincidental. It was the girl who had dealt with him twice, sitting behind the semicircular counter at the reception desk. Whenever a guest came, she would get up and salute with a smile, and take the documents or information handed over by the other party with both hands, looking humble and polite. She also had a good education.

Luli stepped forward and stood in front of her, "Hello, sir." The girl asked in a skillful Cantonese language, then her face narrowed, as if she felt the man in front of her was a little familiar, "You?"

"Long time no see, I'm here to trouble you again."

"Ah!" Listening to his pure Mandarin, the girl finally remembered. A smile appeared on her rosy face like an apple. When she spoke again, she also changed into Mandarin, "So, sir, what's the matter?"

“I want to deposit a check in the bank.”

"Yes, sir." The girl looked like she was doing business, and she took the check from him with a smile. She glanced at the number on it: 400,000. "Yes. sir, the question is, I just don't know whose name is?"

"I, Luli." He wrote a few strokes on the counter, indicating which two words she was.

The girl smiled and nodded, expressing her understanding. "Mr. Ming, do you have any valid ID?"

Lu Li was immediately stunned. He didn't know that since the mid-1970s, the Hong Kong and British governments have implemented the real-name bank system. Without a Hong Kong ID card, they cannot get personal accounts in the bank. Isn't this a paradox when I think of Zhang Dadong's words? "I... I am from the north, well, I don't have an ID card."

"Oh." The girl opened her mouth regretfully and pushed the check in her hand, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, this won't help you."

Lu Li nodded, turned around and left the bank with Xu Yunjian, went to Zhang Dadong's law office again, and said, "Mr. Zhang, how do you think such a thing is handled?"

"How is that?" Zhang Dadong was also a little troubled. He thought for a moment and said, "The only way is to apply for court aid."

“How to say it?”

"It is to apply for a document to the court to appeal to your situation, and at the same time ask the judge to issue a court order with legal effect, so that you can issue your personal account in the bank, and then the problem can be resolved."

"How long will it take?"

"I will arrange it as soon as possible, but it will take a week as soon as possible."

Xu Yunjian pulled the corner of Luli's clothes and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, forget it, why do you have to stay here? Let's go home? What's the point of staying for a week?"

Lu Li didn't expect that things would be so difficult, so he frowned in embarrassment, "Mr. Zhang, should you also hire a special lawyer for such a thing?"

"No, no, I can."

"So, if this happens, how much money will I have to give you?"

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you this question now, because some aspects that require labor will have to be completely completed before the specific costs can be calculated. But you can rest assured that any expenses are well documented. In terms of your case, Mr. Lu, it will not exceed HK$50,000."

"Fifty thousand? You might as well go and grab it!" Xu Yunjian cursed desperately, "Damn, do you know how long it takes for our buddies to earn this little money? You only have 50,000 when you open your mouth? Xiaoxiao, let's go back, you can't spend this unjust money!"

"This is definitely not a waste of money. Mr. Xu, the court schedules the schedule and prepares the materials, all costs money. In fact, I will say that even from the beginning, even if I talk to you two, I will have to pay money."

Xu Yunjian became more annoyed the more he heard it, and cursed loudly: "What the hell are you? You have to charge money even if you talk? m! Why don't you rob me?"

Zhang Dadong was not angry, but still looked like an old god, "Mr. Lu, what do you say?"

"You're sure, I mean, such court documents?"

"90% of the Hong Kong government encourages investment. It is not an individual case for Mr. Lu. The only difference is that you come from the mainland. That's all."

"Then, okay." Luli nodded, "Mr. Zhang, I'll give you this. Is there anything else I need to do?"

"Yes, please wait for a moment. I asked Jenny to print a contract. We signed our names on it, which is a legal document."

************************************************

After all this, Lu Li suddenly remembered something, "Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask you, for example, in the case of my companion and I, can you stay in a hotel in Hong Kong?"

"Oh, this is not possible."

Lu Li and Xu Yunjian looked at each other, why can't they do anything? "Then, do you know, what can we do?"

"The only way is to go to Yuen Long or Saigon, which is a settlement area for many people coming from the mainland. There will be a little looser review there."

Lu Li asked about the way to take the bus to the above two places and officially said goodbye to Xu Yunjian, "Xiaoxiao, where are we going next?"
