"Actually, that's the case," Maxim finally put forward his request under the encouraging eyes of his compatriots around him, "After we came to China, the company took good care of us in terms of life and work, and we are very grateful for this, and for this, we also work hard to repay the company." ”

Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi and Alice didn't speak, looking at Maxim gently closing his eyes, as if recalling his experience for more than a year, and slowly said what he wanted to say.

"To be honest, when we first came to China, we thought that there would be no future, that we were no better than before, at best better than in the Soviet Union, oh no, now it's called Russia, a little better than when we were in Russia, at least we can eat enough, so that we don't let ourselves get cold and starve. As for my own technology, my own dreams, I guess everything I want has nothing to do with us. ”

At this moment, as if he had fallen into his own inner world, Maxim muttered softly, "It wasn't until we came here that we realized that everything here was different from what we imagined, it was simply very different, and it could even be said that it was completely in two worlds with us before!" ”

Maxim's voice gradually became louder, "Here, there is not so much intrigue when you were in Russia, as long as you work hard, you can live a good life, no one cares what you say, you don't have to worry that a certain sentence you say is likely to become an excuse for others to attack you, let alone worry that you may be remembered by the leader for an inappropriate move, and you don't know when you will be rectified, let alone worry about the ubiquitous KGB surveillance around you." Life is much better than in Russia, all this, in the past, we could not have imagined. All in all, everything was even better than we could have imagined! ”

Infected by Maxim, perhaps it was Maxim's words that touched the deepest part of their hearts, and the surrounding Russian staff also put down their work and gathered around, quietly listening to Maxim's story. What Maxim is talking about is what these people have experienced for more than a year; Maxim's feelings, and their own hearts, were touched by the hearts of those who heard Maxim say this. Naturally, these guys have empathy in their hearts.

Although it was obvious that putting down the work in hand to talk during working hours was obviously not in line with the company's regulations, Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi, and Alice did not say anything. At this time, it is time to let these guys vent for so long. These guys must have a lot of things to say in their hearts, so let them vent well, their own company is not so unsympathetic, right?

"Everything is fine," says Maxim, "and everything is going in a good direction, the company has given us spacious housing, paid us a good salary, and brought our family, who are suffering from hardship, from the chaos of Russia, so that we can be reunited and they can share in our happiness." There is no need to suffer in Russia, which is now full of chaos, and everyone can live happily together. Life is so happy, we have never felt that tomorrow is so full of hope, and we should be satisfied with that. ”

Yes, the company treats you like this, you should be satisfied! Hearing Maxim say this, Zhang Lan was a little puzzled in her heart: Then what problems do you still have that you haven't solved?

"But there's one more problem," Maxim said, turning his head. His eyes were red, and he looked at Alice with a pleading expression, "We need the help of Miss Alice or Mr. Zhang Zongjun." ”

"Oh, what's the matter. Let's talk about it. Alice neither agreed nor objected to Maxim's words: how can I promise you that the request has not yet been made? In case you make an unrealistic request, can I agree?

"It's our hukou," Maxim smiled bitterly. "Everyone knows how we got here, so I won't talk about it here. It's just that in this case, we can't find our people in Russia, and there are no official records of our people in China, so naturally there will be no entry and exit records of our people. While your government is certainly aware of our existence, if you don't say anything, they won't recognize us for a day. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lan finally understood the meaning of Maxim's words: feelings, are these guys thinking about asking the company to help them solve their identity problems?

It's a tricky question, and until now, these guys are still black, and you can't find any record of them in any official records in China, well, except, of course, in a special department.

"Now our identity, in your Chinese language, is called a black household, similar to those smugglers, just smugglers with the acquiescence of your government, no police will come to investigate us, and no one will come to forcibly send us back to Russia," Maxim smiled bitterly, "As long as your government acquiesces to us staying in China, it doesn't matter if we are the people, we can all continue to work in the Alice Group." But we have to think about the future of our children, who, like us, are not eligible to live in China. What about their schooling problems? In the future, when the children grow up, what will happen to their jobs and marriages? These are the questions that we, as parents, have to take into account for our children. ”

"What do you mean to say," Hearing this, Zhang Lan finally realized that these guys were worried about this problem, "You want to obtain Chinese nationality or permanent residency in China?" And then give your children a legal identity in China? ”

"We don't care," Maxim said with a wry smile, "as long as the company can help us solve our children's problems." ”

"This, I'm afraid it's difficult." Hearing Maxim's words, Alice frowned.

According to the Chinese government's regulations, if a foreigner or stateless person wants to become a Chinese national, he must first be willing to abide by the Chinese constitution and laws, which is the most basic, not to mention that even if he wants to become a citizen of any country. In addition, it is necessary to have: 1. Close relatives of Chinese; 2. Those who have settled in China; 3. There are other legitimate reasons. One of the three conditions or one of the three conditions can be approved to become a Chinese national.

Well, this is only the most basic condition for applying for Chinese nationality, it seems very simple, but in fact it is the opposite. It is a well-known fact that Chinese nationality is almost difficult for foreigners to obtain, and the Chinese government will never approve this application unless there are extremely special circumstances.

According to Zhang Lan's knowledge, even in the early 21 st century, the number of foreigners who have obtained Chinese nationality in the world will not exceed double digits, and China's economic situation is not as good as that of developed countries in Europe and the United States, which may be one aspect of the problem, but the difficulty of obtaining Chinese nationality is basically the same as the difficulty of landing on the moon.

Even if you don't get Chinese nationality, but only get permanent residency in China (that is, the so-called green card), it is also very difficult, it is said that now the number of foreigners who have obtained a Chinese green card does not exceed three digits, of course, it is just said that Oh, Zhang Lan is really not very clear about this news.

But there is a news that Zhang Lan knows, there was once a pretty good Brazilian player who wanted to come to China to play football and try to become a Chinese citizen, but the Chinese government did not agree, and the matter had to be settled in the end. Thinking about the various immigration policies of the U.S. government around the world in order to attract talents, Zhang Lan shook her head gloomily, saying that China's brain drain, some people honestly scolded those who were outflow of talent for being unpatriotic, but they didn't think about the deep-seated reasons: they were treated as grass in China, and they could step on it if they wanted to, and throw it away if they wanted to; In China, it is regarded as a treasure, and it is afraid of melting in its mouth, and it is afraid of being frightened when it is held in its hand, and it is eager to be offered as an ancestor. With such a bilateral, a fool knows how to choose.

It is already so difficult for a single person to obtain Chinese nationality, let alone a large group of people. If you count the wives and children of the employees of the Alice Automobile Factory, the number is already so large that it is impossible to even think about it.

The state has always attached the most importance to the issue of nationality and permanent residence, and this issue, even Alice has no choice, is really a rather difficult issue. Although the Chinese government has acquiesced in the existence of these guys, it is estimated that it will not be possible to kill them if they are really openly given nationality or permanent residency in China. At the very least, the government needs to think about the international implications, right? Not to mention anything else, at the same time, so many Russian scientific and technological elites joined Chinese nationality at the same time, and it is estimated that Yeltsin will jump to his feet in anger.

But if these guys do not have a legal identity in China, the children of these Russian engineers and designers will not be able to get the education they deserve, and their future will be dark. The child's future is uncertain, and Zhang Lan does not believe that these technicians can continue to work with peace of mind.

Now the children of these guys are still young, is the problem very big, although these guys are anxious in their hearts, but it is not too much to affect the work, what about the master in a few years? When these guys' children get older, the problem will become bigger. If this problem is not handled well, it is likely to become a big hidden danger for Alice Group in the future.

"Well, it's hard." After thinking about it for a long time, Alice didn't come up with a good solution, and said to Maxim with a wry smile, "If it's something else, maybe I can help you think of a solution, but for this problem, the Chinese government controls it very strictly, and I don't have any good solution."
