Many medium to large law firms in Hong Kong rely on mainland clients as their main source of income. Even if they are not serving mainland clients, those clients are probably negotiating business with mainlanders. Basically, receiving mainland clients is inevitable. Although there was less social interaction during the epidemic, after the relaxation of restrictions, such social activities began to increase again. And I also attended a dinner party recently. On that day, humans finally recalled the fear of being dominated by entertainment...

Put on a helmet first. The country’s grace is like a surging river. The leaders’ teachings are all good words. I am not grateful for a moment, and there is never a moment that I don’t remember. Therefore, I am happy to receive mainland customers. Please continue to slap me hard with RMB. I. But that kind of drinking culture is really harmful to the liver... I originally thought it was the culture of the previous generation, but unfortunately it has been passed down. Sit down and serve two bottles of red wine first. After each person pours half a glass, he then takes out a bottle of 2002 Moutai. If you don’t know how expensive the 2002 Moutai is, you’ll see it on Google. A small glass is worth my lunch. Price.

It was okay at first, but two of them got drunk and started pushing the others to drink. Anyone who knows me well knows that I get drunk after just one drink and get blinded. Even when my face was red and I was trying to hold back my sleepiness, a friend of one of my clients would still point to the wine in my glass and say, "What's wrong with Lawyer X?" "Do you want to pack it up? Let me pack it for you!" Then the customer said to my boss, "It's fun to drink! I don't want to be friends with people who don't drink!" He even told us that they only drank so little because of us. , usually when banquets are held in the Mainland, all kinds of wine, red wine, white wine, rice wine, Maotai whiskey, etc. are provided for the guests to choose as they please, and we are asked to attend next time.

Fortunately, the restaurant closed at 10 o'clock, so I had enough energy to walk straight out of the door. Although the dishes are probably the best set meals in this Chinese restaurant, and each of us was given 10 City Super $100 cash coupons when we left, I still unexpectedly thought: Why don’t you spend tens of thousands of yuan to treat us to dinner and give us gifts like this? It's better to just pay me the legal fees. But to be fair, without this alcohol-inducing culture, it would still be easy to deal with many mainland customers. As long as you are careful not to let them let themselves go, you can safely receive a lot of money? From my personal experience, it is much more relaxed than many Hong Kong people. How to deal with the "boundary-trading culture" of mainland customers letting themselves go is another topic. We will discuss it briefly next time when we have the opportunity. Wait, this post seems to have nothing to do with the law? Sin (drunk), sin (drunk), too... Let's just treat this as an article written by a drunk man. Next time we will talk about legal matters, I will go to bed first...
