Chapter 16 - 0016 Starting today, be a law-abiding Federation citizen

The chat between Lynch and the newspaper heading didn't last long before ending. Lynch instilled many interesting ideas in him, and he became eager to act.

He felt that what Lynch said was indeed right; nothing is more important than dignity. Once a person bends over in life, they can never stand straight again, and that's how he feels—he needs to regain his dignity!

Watching the newspaper heading leave with a certain resolve filling his back view, Lynch expressed his hope that he could fully realize his thoughts.

In the afternoon, taking advantage of some free time, Lynch registered a business company named "Great Empire" at the Sabin City Social Service Bureau, covering almost all projects.

In fact, the Social Service Bureau doesn't care much about what business the registered company will operate. The reason for such a selection process is entirely to establish a retrieval system.

Some companies need to cooperate with other companies, and they will pay to retrieve some files from the Social Service Bureau. If only a single business scope is present, it is considered the "main business." If there are many business contents including a particular one, it is then a "subsidiary business."

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

Registering this information cost Lynch a hundred bucks. City Halls across different places have always been encouraging entrepreneurship and providing numerous incentives to entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship can increase employment in society, alleviating conflicts between the unemployed and society itself, especially regarding tax policies. Generally, newly established companies can enjoy tax reductions or even exemption by employing enough staff according to regulations.

Like the comprehensive service company Lynch registered, with only a paltry hundred bucks in registered capital, he could apply for tax exemption just by employing three staff.

The City Hall, including the Federal Tax Bureau, never expects such small companies to become the city's fiscal lifeline. The tax contributions from these small firms can't enable City Hall to embark on significant projects, nor would their absence affect the city's construction schedule. So, they simply grant sufficient incentives, at least reducing three potentially troublesome unemployed individuals.

After registration, Lynch didn't immediately hire workers to start operating. Instead, he got some cards printed at a print shop.

These cards noted Lynch's primary service items, such as currency exchange services, which was the foremost among them. He then bought an accounting book and a book on standardized tax reporting.

After an afternoon of careful study and research, he roughly understood these things and realized that some things, even if very outdated, aren't easy to learn quickly.

He envied those who didn't need to read books, but could, with just some vague concepts, not only compile a flawless accounting book but also spot errors in others' books.

This made him realize he needed a professional accountant.

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

In the previous world, during lunch and occasional breaks, he chatted with some bigwigs. In that dull place, everyone had untold stories, but most people weren't interested in them.

On one hand, most of the detained had similar situations; they may not find others' stories more exciting than their own and lack the impulse to explore others' past.

On the other hand, the guards could apply to view the files directly. What is recorded inside is more objective, fair, and closer to the facts, so they wouldn't directly interact with the detained.

Lynch was different. From the moment he entered, he voraciously absorbed knowledge like a sea eager to learn, and those who had been detained for a long time or still had a long sentence were willing to share their stories, seeking their once glorious selves.

From the experiences these people spoke of, he learned a situation, which is to avoid your tracks too conspicuously appearing in the official line of sight.

In other words, it's better to let the fruit ripen until it falls from the branch, then walk into the orchard to pick it up and leave, rather than caring for it like a farmer until it ripens and then picking it; all your activities, records, and experiences remain unaltered in some files.

When someday someone needs to dig something to use against you, they just have to look through the files, and you'll understand what fear means.

Of course, if you can't achieve this, your game difficulty will multiply, so ensure every step is impeccable!

Indeed, that place was full of high-end talents from various industries, and Lynch benefited significantly, learning many things he never imagined he could.

Step one: Start by obeying the law!

...

There are two places in Sabin City resembling talent exchange markets. One is the Sabin City Social Service Bureau Employment Center, gathering some entrepreneurs and citizens preparing to find jobs.

The other place is not official; it's a self-organized place resembling a recruiting corner. In front of the vegetation wall by the second fountain in Sabin City Central Park, many recruitment announcements can be found.

Of course, some community intermediaries also introduce job opportunities to people in the community, but their role isn't significant. Recruiting companies don't want to pay extra fees to intermediaries, and candidates aren't willing to pay intermediary fees either, making intermediaries quite frustrated as everyone tries to get free services, resulting in slow information updates.

Lynch went to the first location, the Employment Center of the Sabin City Social Service Bureau. He needed to recruit three staff members for himself, and they needed to be employees with "cash" capability.

Exploitation has never been a synonym for negativity, ugliness, or evil from the capital perspective. Even in today's society, sometimes merchants with good relations gather to discuss how to press and exploit their subordinates.

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

Lynch needed to find such people, excellent salespeople.

After paying fifteen bucks, he got a booth—essentially a long table with two simple wooden boards as barriers, with peers on either side, and the entire hall was very noisy.

His recruitment posters were already posted on the bulletin board, and if anyone was willing to try, they could find this place according to the number and chat with him, then decide whether to hire them.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a young man wearing an old shirt and a cheap new tie sat opposite Lynch.

This young man looked only about twenty-four or twenty-five, and he was quite surprised by Lynch's youth. He even stood up after sitting down, looked up again at the nameplate, and then sat back down.

"You're not the first; shall we get started?" Lynch prompted, and the other party immediately opened his worn briefcase, taking out a bunch of documents to pass over.

Lynch took them, glanced at them, which included some training school certificates and awards he received as a child.

He casually tossed the resume aside, crossed his fingers, and pressed them on the table edge, "Mr. Richard, my company doesn't need these unconvincing things; I need competence, do you understand?"

The young man called Richard nodded nervously, "Yes, sir."

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

Richard nodded again, "Yes, sir, I saw it on the poster, it says sales, and for every successful deal, I get two to three points reward with no base salary..."

He seemed a bit nervous; this was the fifth job he was looking for. The previous jobs didn't last a year, mostly ending in two to three months, with the shortest not even a month.

The pressure of life and the little motivation left him couldn't hold for long, and if he failed this job, he might, according to his father's request, undergo short-term training, enter a factory, and become a worker.

He didn't want to deal with dangerous machines all his life, and here he was drawn to the recruitment poster of this Great Empire Service Company at a glance.

No base salary might be unacceptable for many, but it also represented the future.

Everyone foolishly believes that they are the special one, the most unique, most favored by the goddess of fame, and possessing the greatest potential for success.

Say they can't do it?

Come on, let's fight!
