Tanghe County is an inland city, and in those years, how many companies could be registered in such a little inland town?
Anyway, when Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan reached the courtyard of the Industry and Commerce Bureau and asked the first person they encountered where they could register a company, it took that person quite a while to respond, "You mean to get a license for an individual business proprietorship?"
Yan Fei repeated, "A company, as in, a firm with shareholders and a legal representative."
"A company?" the person looked utterly perplexed. "Why don't you go check in that office? Individual business licenses are usually processed there. A company, huh!"
That noncommittal grunt left Yan Fei and Xu Xiaoyan feeling extremely frustrated. Inside the business registration office, a middle-aged man and woman were seated along with a young man who seemed to be either an employee or just hanging out there, chatting across the table from the middle-aged woman.
