Fang Zheng didn't give a definite answer.
The business manager next to him quickly spoke up:
"Boss Fang, our price is really not expensive, and since you were introduced by Miss Xia, we've already given the lowest discount."
"Let's leave it at that." Fang Zheng waved his hand, not wanting to get tangled up over a few tens of thousands:
"When can the work start? We only have twenty days for the construction, is that enough?"
"It's enough!" The business manager nodded eagerly:
"Twenty days, that's plenty of ti. But to work on Wenchang Mansion, so paperwork needs to be handled over there, so it'll be a hassle for you to run a trip with us."
"That's no problem."
Fang Zheng nodded.
As it turned out, renovation was not as simple as he imagined.
Designing was just one aspect; choosing materials, construction techniques, and matching lighting colors all required attention, and the plans needed constant revisions.
He also had to coordinate with Wenchang Mansion's property managent to schedule remodeling tis.
Even with a full package service, it was still a hassle.
......
"Are you going to set up a subsidiary?"
"Yes."
"Setting up a subsidiary isn't just about having an ID card." The staff in the business hall looked at Fang Zheng with so exasperation:
"You'll need the parent company's articles of association, the subsidiary's legal representative's ID, along with the proxy's docuntation, and so on..."
"Why don't you check everything first and then co back?"
"Is it that complicated?" Fang Zheng frowned:
"How long will it take to complete everything?"
"If all the paperwork is in order, seven working days should be sufficient," said the staff mber:
"If you have any questions, you can ask the front desk, there are colleagues there specifically introducing business to you."
"Alright!"
Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
Half a day later.
He decided to find a business broker, as for the company's legal representative and supervisor, he'd have to borrow Guo Ziran's identity.
"The paperwork has to be complete, the process has to be followed, companies are divided into various situations, and you want to set up two subsidiaries? What are their business scopes?"
The broker was professional, but his inquiries left Fang Zheng, who knew nothing about business, feeling overwheld, taking him half a day to understand even just a vague concept.
Damn!
Why is it so complicated?
Another day wasted.
......
"Boss Fang, your company's recruiting spot is at No. 13 in the South District. Since it was added temporarily, you only have two days."
At the job fair, a woman in a tailored suit handed over a sign:
"This is your pass, you can go take a look at the location now."
"Hmm."
Fang Zheng nodded and casually asked:
"Is there anything else you need to do for recruiting?"
"Well..." The woman thought for a mont and said:
"Your company's sign, main business, recruiting positions, various requirents, and so companies print recruitnt flyers in bulk."
"And you ca in such a rush, don't forget to make a company sign."
"There's a company outside specializing in making signs."
"Thank you." Fang Zheng nodded:
"May I ask, what is the average wage for recruitnt here?"
"That depends on the industry." The woman replied:
"For general workers, the basic salary is two to three thousand, but with overti pay and various allowances, it can go up to seven or eight thousand, or even over ten thousand."
"In promotions, it's always talked up, but the average wage is around five thousand."
"Office staff earn three to four thousand, financial accountants around three to four thousand too, but managers earn over ten thousand."
"And..."
After a while.
Fang Zheng nodded, offered the woman a drink as thanks, and went outside to order a sign.
He rented over five hundred square ters in Wenchang Mansion, needing separation into porcelain and jade subsidiaries, so naturally, he couldn't rely on just Wan Dandan as an employee.
Recruiting new staff,
is definitely necessary.
"I'm a capitalist, so wages will be set at the minimum, but holidays can't be missing, otherwise, if the employees complain to the labor bureau, that would be counterproductive."
"Damn..."
"I need to take breaks myself, maybe more holidays?"
"No, no."
"That doesn't fit my capitalist style, I have to squeeze employees as much as possible."
......
Squatting at the entrance of the job fair, Fang Zheng held in his left hand a sixty-yuan bottle of mineral water, and in his right hand, a one-hundred-and-eighty-yuan high-end rice bowl.
Opening the rice bowl, the chubby kid next to him instinctively sniffed.
"Big brother, what kind of rice bowl is that, why does it sll so good?"
"Ha..." Fang Zheng chuckled:
"This is Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl, the rice is high-quality, the chicken is free-range, each peanut is equally sized, each ingredient carefully selected."
"Even the oil used for cooking is premium oil!"
"It's different from regular Kung Pao Chicken."
?
The chubby kid looked confused:
"Isn't it still Kung Pao Chicken?"
"It's not regular Kung Pao Chicken." Fang Zheng emphasized, then shook his head helplessly:
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained."
He absolutely wouldn't admit being conned.
"Right." The chubby kid scratched his head and asked:
"Big brother, are you looking for a job too?"
Fang Zheng looked him over, the kid was under 1.7 ters tall, not quite fat, but the round face made him appear heavier.
He seed like he had just co out of school, still had a fresh look on his face.
"Do I look like I'm job hunting?"
"..." The chubby kid took a serious look at him:
"You're not..."
Fang Zheng smiled.
"Then why are you squatting here if you're not job hunting? I'm here looking for a job too." The chubby kid continued, leaving Fang Zheng's facial expression stiff:
"We're all trying to make money, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
?
Fang Zheng's face twisted, he suddenly stood up and violently flung the al box to the ground.
"Damn!"
"I'm earning money to enjoy life, not being chased by money to get through the day. These few days have really screwed up, my brain's gone dumb, and I've forgotten what's important."
