Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

When registering the company, Zhang Zhihao suggested that Wang Dashan entrust a professional registration agency to handle it; it wouldn't cost much anyway, just around one thousand yuan to get it done.

But Wang Dashan felt that the agency fee of around one thousand yuan was unnecessary to spend; he could do it himself, since he was idle anyway, and it would just mean running a few more trips.

As a result, he ran to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau several times, and the company names he submitted all failed the review; the first time was because of a duplicate name with another company, the second time was because the materials provided were incomplete, and the third time was because the business scope, address information, and so on weren't filled in completely.

This made Wang Dashan impatient.

"Can't you people say all the problems at once? Every time I come it's a different problem; I've run three times already. If you want a red envelope, just say so directly!"

Wang Dashan directly confronted the Industrial and Commercial Bureau service window staff.

The staff member didn't coddle him either:

"You didn't prepare all the materials yourself; who can you blame? Didn't you do sufficient preparation work before coming?"

"How would I know specifically which materials are needed?" Wang Dashan complained.

"If you don't know, won't you go check? Look it up online and you'll know! I serve dozens or hundreds of people a day; if I have to remind every single one, do the people queuing behind still need to get their business done?"

Wang Dashan was left speechless by the retort.

The window staff kept nagging:

"You don't know how to do it yourself; spend a few hundred yuan to find a professional agent to help, wouldn't that be fine? Not even willing to spend a few hundred, and you want to open a company? With that kind of vision, even if you open a company it'll go bankrupt!"

Wang Dashan was furious at these words:

"Do you believe I'll go report you! Is this how you talk?"

The window staff kept a straight face and stopped speaking.

Only waved a hand coldly:

"Next, number 19!"

The next person coming to handle business squeezed in: "Brother, make way, calm down, don't argue with the staff here; they're just following rules and regulations. If you really lock horns with them, you can't win against them……"

That person had also brought an agent along.

The agent got the company registered in no time.

Wang Dashan was depressed beyond measure, but he had to admit that this brother was right.

He really couldn't win against them.

When it comes down to it, they had no obligation to remind him; it was indeed his own insufficient preparation that caused him to run so many times and still fail to register the company.

In the end, Wang Dashan could only return gloomily. After three failed registrations, he reflected painfully. Before the fourth registration attempt, he went to Zhang Zhihao's place, borrowed Zhang Zhihao's computer, and carefully looked up the materials needed for company registration.

Zhang Zhihao, learning of this, was also at a loss whether to cry or laugh:

"Is registering this troublesome now? I registered quite simply before; maybe it's because I had someone do proxy registration. I actually don't know too clearly what materials are needed either. I heard cancellation is even more troublesome than registration; if you want to cancel, not only must the financial affairs be straightened out, but you also have to publish a public announcement in the newspaper."

Then he added: "Why don't you still find an agent? Isn't this saving small money and losing big?"

But Wang Dashan said:

"Rest assured, next time I go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I'll definitely succeed in registering. I looked up the detailed process online and recorded it; then I'll prepare all materials in advance. I just don't believe I still can't get it registered!"

Wang Dashan was unwilling to find an agent before, and now even more unwilling.

He had already run three trips; if he found an agent now, wouldn't the first three trips have been in vain?

He never studied economics, so he doesn't know a principle: sunk costs should not become a decision factor.

The first three times failing to register is sunk cost; this sunk cost should not affect his decision on whether to find an agent; only then can he make the decision most favorable to himself.

It's a pity Wang Dashan doesn't understand; he let sunk cost influence his decision. He didn't consider that even if the company gets registered, there's still a series of procedures to handle afterward, like financial affairs, which generally require professional personnel to act as agents.

Years ago, Li Xiulan went to town to do mud work; to save fifteen yuan in motorcycle fare, she chose to walk the night road for over four hours to return home. That scene seems to be reenacting itself on Wang Dashan right now.

This is perhaps what is called the fate of reincarnation.

The poor's fate of reincarnation is to spend a lifetime living in saving. This so-called virtue of saving seems already engraved in their bones. A lifetime of saving not only fails to make them wealthy, but may instead trap them in a vortex of poverty they can't climb out of.

For example, to save money they don't go see a doctor for a small illness; the small illness develops into a serious illness, and in the end they can only spend big money to treat it, becoming poor overnight.

Another example: to save money they don't send their child to university; in the end the child can only go work in a factory. The only channel that could have led upward is blocked by their own hands.

In rural areas such phenomena are everywhere, and this phenomenon is also hereditary, passed down from generation to generation.

The only thing that can change it is reading, improving cognition. Only when thinking is upgraded can one avoid the fate of destiny's reincarnation.

Just like now: even though Wang Dashan has entered the city, he hasn't recognized his own situation clearly. The thinking shaped by his environment from childhood still dominates his behavioral habits.

And Wang Xiaohua, though still in high school and not yet entered society, already sees reality far more clearly than anyone else in the family. Moreover, he warns himself at every moment to avoid falling into that curse-like destiny.

Wang Dashan carefully searched the company registration process several times, then prepared all kinds of materials fully, and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for the fourth time to register the company.

He thought: things don't go wrong more than three times!

This time surely won't have any more mistakes, right?

Those people surely won't refuse to register him again, right?

If they still don't let him register, his mindset will truly collapse!

However, the more you fear something, the more it comes!

This time, the window staff still wouldn't let him register!

To be precise, it wasn't refusing to let him register, but advising him not to register in his own name!

"I checked here: last winter you were sentenced to one year of fixed-term imprisonment in Guangxi. Although it was a suspended sentence, you are currently still within the sentence period. According to our legal restrictions here, personnel during the probation period can register a company and become a shareholder, but there are certain limitations. Usually, they cannot serve as the company's legal representative, director, supervisor, or senior management."

Hearing this, Wang Dashan's head buzzed immediately, and his whole body went numb.

"What do you mean by that? It's a bit convoluted; I don't quite understand. Can you explain it clearly?"

Wang Dashan was no longer calm.

This time he could not blame the staff at the window, because he was indeed still on probation; this was indeed his own problem, and if anyone was to blame, he could only blame himself. Why hadn't he checked this issue online?

The staff at the window explained to him:

"To put it straightforwardly, even if you registered this company, you could only be an ordinary shareholder inside the company, only receive dividends, not participate in the company's operational management, and not exercise the company's supervisory rights. Directors are responsible for the company's operational management, while supervisors are responsible for company supervision. Do you understand now?"
