When that dude was fired he was pissed like hell, so he kept all the papers (tax, legal etc...everything) and stored in my garage (you know how Nordic countried are: too much waste of paper on everything), so when hedecided to leave for good, I "inherited" all those papers.
It was no use to me either, except eating dust in my (now former) apartment, and it was then I just started my docent-ship so moved it to my new-office.
Now the funny thing here is: Our professor-in-charge was looking for a "new joint" for our "House", and he was shocked to find out there's that nice place available - and I told him the same story I wrote here...and you can guess the rest.
我是個借學債讀書的人,當時可是天天想著偺點錢還錢。而留學僧們可是家裏給的錢,最起碼來的時候簽證面試就保證已經有錢了。而他們居然能覺得我‘應該家裡很有錢’(you know my folks' story...yeah)

There was this Chinese dude I know back in my college yrs - he went to some High-school in New York - and so he's side-job was: helping some 浙江's businessman setting-up business here (so the old man can have a permanent residency via investing).
Well, how did it went? for start: Slow....really really slow. And not very promising - once he was outspent his money & bankrupt so he even "borrowed" all my empty Cola-cans (you can exchange for money in supermarkets by recycle - and can be used to pay in those supermarkets) - he was made "CFO" of that 土老財.
Anyway...it was from late at least 07 to 11-12 that old-man's business was finally in place, then came the interesting part: The Man died, of "exitment" after came out of the immigration office to collect his PR-card.
(壞壞姐 was on shift that very day when this happened and she handled the 土老財's final moment, she told me later acturally the diagnos given was: "A boring workaholic man finally relaxed his mind too much, the heart can't handle the relaxation from stress")
And so the dude bought 2 bottle of vodka and drank with me to "talk philosophy", and he concluded: 有錢沒命花有啥用啊……so he gave up his own plan of immigration too, and went back to mainland China - I donno how he's holding up now.
He thought of the early days when tried to bring me in (he thought I didn't have PR then), and I said no, citing "謀事在人,可成事在天啊……你也說了,能不能100%成功都是問號。最起碼我在象牙塔裏面學知識是個“只進不出”的買賣"——he didn't believe his ears then...
But after his boss died (and his boss' family took over, and fired him - the company went bankrupt in less than a year after - caz they don't have anyone knows how to deal with local agencies on tax and financing etc.)
