It was impossible for Chu Tian to quote Chu Min the purchase price, and he did not lie to him. The price he sold the tricycle and TV to Li Gang was indeed that number. The price he quoted to Chu Min was only 100 yuan higher than the purchase price for the tricycle, and only more than 300 yuan more for the TV. It was really a good deal. Even if he went to Guangzhou to buy it himself, he might not be able to get it at this price.

Chu Min's bike swayed a bit, and he looked at Chu Tian in disbelief, "So expensive?"

Chu Tian nodded. "It's not cheap, but if you buy a TV in an overseas Chinese store, the price will be higher. I bought the parallel imports they brought back from Hong Kong, so it's cheaper..."

"Second Brother

"What? If you want, I can help you ask and see if there are any left!"

He still has three tricycles and several televisions in his space. If Chu Min wants them, he can sell him one or two.

Chu Min thought for a moment and said, "The TV will wait for a while. I need a tricycle."

"Go back and ask for me, and if there is any, I will give you the money."

Chu Tian nodded, "Okay, no problem..."

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at a fork in the road. Chu Tian glanced at Chu Min and said, "Second brother, I'll go back first. Don't forget to meet me at the gate of the Industry and Commerce Bureau tomorrow morning..."

"Okay, I understand..."

Chu Min waved his hand and drove towards his home.

The Industrial and Commercial Bureau had previously said that registration could only begin on July 15th, so Chu Tian, ​​Zuo Zhuang, and Chu Min took the prepared documents and hurried to the city's Industrial and Commercial Bureau on the day. Because they were the first to register a private enterprise, they did not have to queue, and the procedures were not as complicated as they would be in the future. All the procedures were completed in one morning.

Chu Tian and his three companions walked out of the gate of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau without stopping, but went straight back to the second building built by Chu Tian. After the five-story building was built, the first, second and third floors were temporarily used as offices of the construction company, and the fourth and fifth floors were temporarily used as dormitories for the employees.

"I told Jianmin earlier to help me find a law student in Beijing to draft three partnership agreements for our Ruixing Construction Company. He sent me a telegram a while ago saying that the contracts had been drafted based on our requirements and capital contribution, and had already been mailed here."

"The official seal from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau said today that we need to go get it in seven working days. By the time we get it back, I think the contract should have arrived by the mail. Then we can each check it and sign..."

"The three of us will invest as we agreed before, a total of 500,000 yuan. I'll put in 250,000 yuan, accounting for 50%, Zuo Zhuang will put in 150,000 yuan, accounting for 30%, and second brother, you'll put in 100,000 yuan, accounting for 20%. If you don't have any objections, just send all the money to us on the day the contract is officially signed..."

Chu Min said, "I have no objection. I just happened to be clearing out some goods recently, and by that time I should be able to collect a hundred thousand."

Zuo Zhuang also quickly said, "I have no objection. I can give it to you now. I have already put the money in a passbook and it is ready at any time."

As he said that, Zuo Zhuang took out the passbook from his pocket and handed it to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian smiled and pushed it back. "Don't give it to me yet. I plan to wait until the official seal comes down, take the registration information, and go to the People's Bank of China to open a public account. Then we can hire an accountant, and then we will deposit all the money into the company account. All future expenditures must be verified and stamped with the official seal."

(Note: Baidu says that the People's Bank of China was established on December 1, 1948.)

Zuo Zhuang was curious, "Why do we need to hire an accountant? Isn't my sister-in-law pretty good at keeping accounts?"

Chu Tian shook his head. "It's different. We're going to be a proper company in the future. We can't just make do with the construction crew we were before. If we're going to hire, we have to hire proper accountants and other staff."

Chu Min was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "You mean, you want to recruit a lot of people?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Of course, such as a dedicated designer, a dedicated material custodian, a dedicated doorman, a dedicated..."

"In short, no matter which position it is, there must be a dedicated person in charge, and they must sign a contract. Any problems are their responsibility."

"Second brother, Zuo Zhuang, if our construction company wants to survive and prosper forever, then every step must be reasonable and legal. No corners can be cut!"

"us···"

Zuo Zhuang and Chu Min were both confused when they heard this, but they nodded obediently, expressing their support for his idea.

Chu Tian smiled and shook his head, "You can't just support my ideas, you also have to help start this company."

Zuo Zhuang quickly sat up straight and asked, "Master, no, Brother Tian, ​​tell me, what should we do now?"

Chu Tian touched his chin, glanced at Zuo Zhuang and Chu Min's faces, thought for a moment, and said to Zuo Zhuang, whose family had connections, "Zuo Zhuang, your family knows a lot of people. You can go back and ask around to see if there are any retired people or those with considerable financial resources, preferably accountants who have studied finance?"

"Those university students studying accounting still have three years to graduate, so when it comes to hiring professional accountants, I don't ask for a specific number of years. As long as they can work for us for the full three years, and if they can train a successor for us, I won't treat them unfairly!"

Zuo Zhuang nodded, patted his chest and promised, "Brother Tian, ​​don't worry, I'll go back and ask my father and my eldest brother!"

Chu Tian looked at Chu Min again, "Second brother, you will be in charge of the progress of the construction team's work, right? Also, our construction team now has only more than 20 people, which is still too few. You still have to supervise Brother Wang Qiang to see if you can recruit more people. Just remember, the people you recruit later must be assigned tasks. For example, those who are good at building houses can focus on building houses, and those who are good at scraping putty can focus on scraping putty. Don't do one thing first and then another like before. That way the progress is too slow..."

"Also, there aren't many people in the kitchen, so we need to add one more..."

"Oh, right, I heard from a friend that he knows a top student from our New University's law department. I'm planning to pay that top student to write labor contracts for our workers..."

"After all, we can't trouble Jianmin to find someone in Beijing to sign a contract every time..."

Chu Min and Zuo Zhuang had no idea how to start a company, so they had no objections. However, Chu Min asked hesitantly, "So, are you still recruiting the designer you mentioned earlier?"

Chu Tian took a sip of water and looked at Chu Min in confusion, "Huh? What? What happened to the designer?"

Chu Min smiled and said, "The blueprints for the houses we built earlier were purchased from students studying architectural design. I mean, can't we just continue to buy blueprints from students? Why do we still need to hire a designer?"
