The Newspaper Boss's chat with Lin Qi didn't last too long before it ended. Lin Qi instilled many interesting ideas in him, and he became eager to try.

He felt that what Lin Qi said was absolutely right. Nothing is more important than dignity. Once a person bends his back, he can never stand up straight again. That's how he is, and he wants to regain his dignity!

Watching the Newspaper Boss's departing figure filled with a certain determination, Lin Qi expressed his hope that he could successfully complete his idea.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of his free time, he registered a business company called "Great Empire" at the Sabine City Social Services Bureau, mainly dealing with the vast majority of projects.

In fact, the Social Services Bureau doesn't really care what business the registered company is engaged in. The reason for having such a selection process is entirely to establish a retrieval system.

When some companies need to cooperate with other companies, they will spend money to retrieve some files from the Social Services Bureau. If there is only one single business scope, it will be considered the "main business," and if there are many business contents including a certain item, it is the "secondary business."

Every company hopes that its partners are professional when cooperating with other companies, which is why many companies only register one business content.

Registering this information cost Lin Qi one hundred yuan. City Halls everywhere have been encouraging entrepreneurship and providing entrepreneurs with many preferential policies.

Entrepreneurship can increase jobs in society and alleviate the contradictions between the unemployed and society itself. Especially in terms of taxation, basically, newly established companies can enjoy tax reduction or even tax exemption benefits as long as they employ enough employees according to the rules.

Like the relatively comprehensive service company registered by Lin Qi, the registered capital is only a pitiful one hundred yuan, but as long as he can employ three employees, he can apply for tax exemption.

The City Hall, including the Federal Revenue Service, never expects such small companies to become the main artery of the city's finances. The taxes from these small companies cannot allow the City Hall to launch some major projects, and the lack of them will not affect the progress of this year's urban construction, so it is better to give enough preferential policies, at least reducing three unemployed people who may cause trouble.

After registering, Lin Qi did not immediately hire workers to start business, but found a printing shop to print some small cards.

These small cards marked Lin Qi's main service items, such as the exchange of change, which is the most important thing. Then he bought an accounting book and a book on standardized tax reporting.

After an afternoon of careful study and research, he almost figured out the things inside, and he also clearly realized that some things, even if they are very backward, cannot be easily learned.

He envied those who didn't even need to read books, and only relied on some vague concepts to not only write a seamless set of accounts but also pick out mistakes from other people's accounts.

This also made him realize that he needed a professional accountant.

In fact, if Michael hadn't found him so quickly, he might not have established a company so early.

In the last world, he chatted with some big shots during lunch and occasional breaks. In that boring place, everyone had countless stories to tell, but most people were not interested in them.

On the one hand, the imprisoned people have mostly similar situations, and they may not think that other people's stories are more exciting than their own, nor do they have the urge to explore other people's past.

On the other hand, the guards can directly apply to see the files, which are more objective, fair, and closer to the truth, and they will not directly communicate with the imprisoned.

Lin Qi was different. As soon as he entered, he was like a sponge full of thirst for knowledge, tirelessly absorbing knowledge. Those who had been imprisoned for a long time or would be imprisoned for a long time were also happy to tell their stories, looking for their former glory.

From the experiences they said, he learned about a situation, that is, try not to let your trajectory appear too obviously in the official's sight.

In other words, it is best to wait for the fruit to ripen and fall from the branch, and then you walk into the orchard, pick up the fruit, and leave, instead of taking care of the fruit until it matures like a fruit farmer before picking it. All your activities, resumes, and experiences will be recorded in some files as they are.

When some people need to find something to deal with you one day, they can flip through the files and let you feel what is called terrifying.

Of course, if you can't do this, then the difficulty of your game will increase exponentially, and you must make every step impeccable!

It has to be said that it is indeed a place full of high-end talents, from all walks of life, with all kinds of people, which has benefited Lin Qi a lot. He has learned many things that he never imagined he could learn.

The first step, start with abiding by the law! ...

There are two places in Sabine City similar to talent exchange markets. One is called the Sabine City Social Services Bureau Employment Center, which gathers some business owners and some citizens who are preparing to look for work.

There is also a place that does not belong to the official sector, which is a spontaneous behavior that has formed a place similar to a recruitment corner. In front of the vegetation wall next to the second fountain in Sabine City Central Park, there will be many recruitment announcements.

Of course, some community intermediaries will also introduce some job opportunities to people in the community, but their role is not obvious. Recruiting companies are unwilling to pay the intermediaries additional fees, and applicants are unwilling to pay the intermediaries' fees, which makes the intermediaries very headache. Everyone is taking advantage for free, so their information is updated very slowly.

Lin Qi came to the first place, the Sabine City Social Services Bureau Employment Center. He needed to recruit three employees for himself, and employees with "money" ability.

Exploitation and oppression have never been negative, ugly, or sinful terms from a capital perspective. You should know that even in today's society, sometimes business friends with good relationships gather together and still exchange ideas on how to suppress and exploit their employees.

Only those who are oppressed and exploited will think these are ugly and sinful, as for why... everyone knows.

Lin Qi needed to find similar people, excellent salesmen.

After paying fifteen yuan, he got a window—roughly a long table with two simple wooden boards as grilles. On both sides were his peers, and the whole hall was very noisy.

His recruitment notice had been posted on the bulletin board. If anyone was willing to try, they could find this place according to the number and chat with him to decide whether to hire them.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, a young man in an old shirt and tie, wearing a cheap new tie, sat down opposite Lin Qi.

This young man looked only twenty-four or five years old. He was also shocked by Lin Qi's youth. He even stood up after sitting down and looked up at the sign again before sitting down again.

"You're not the first, let's get started?", Lin Qi prompted. The other party immediately opened the worn file bag he was carrying and took out a stack of documents and handed them over.

Lin Qi took it and looked at it. They were all certificates from training schools and some awards he had won when he was a child.

He casually threw the resume aside, pressed his hands on the edge of the table with his fingers crossed, "Mr. Richard, my company doesn't need these unconvincing things. What I need is ability, do you understand?"

The young man, who was called Richard by him, nodded nervously, "Yes, sir."

Lin Qi asked again, "Do you know what my company does?"

Richard nodded again, "Yes, sir, I saw it on the poster. It said it was a salesman, and I would get two to three points for each successful deal, with no base salary..."

He seemed a little nervous. This was the fifth job he had found. He hadn't done any of the previous jobs for more than a year, basically ending in two or three months, and the shortest was less than a month.

The pressure of life and the little remaining motivation could not last too long. If even this job failed, he might follow his father's request and enter the factory as a worker after a short period of training.

He didn't want to deal with dangerous machines for the rest of his life. Here, he immediately took a fancy to the recruitment poster of this Great Empire Service Company.

No base salary may be unacceptable to many people, but it also represents the future.

Everyone will stupidly think that they are the most special one, the most unique, the most favored by the goddess of fame, and the one with the best potential for success.

Say they can't do it? Come, let's fight!
