"Mr. Jiang Yi, Mr. Stephen has already explained your matters to me. All you need to do is give me your company's materials, and I will approve them for you today," President Martin said with a smile to Jiang Yi.
"Thank you!" Jiang Yi said.
"Don't be polite. I promised Mr. Stephen that I would handle this matter well!"
After speaking, President Martin called for a receptionist and asked her to escort Jiang Yi to the reception room to wait.
Jiang Yi refused.
President Martin said nothing more and went straight into the elevator to his office.
The receptionist who had been unwilling to bother with Jiang Yi just now, now shamelessly walked over, a face full of smiles as she poured Jiang Yi a cup of coffee.
The receptionist's face was full of enthusiastic smiles, a completely different person compared to before.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
No matter where one goes, status and position are indeed important.
With status and position, others will respect you; otherwise, no one will pay attention, completely disregarding you.
"Mr. Jiang Yi, I didn't know you were President Martin's friend just now. I hope you don't mind!"
The receptionist said respectfully to Jiang Yi.
"I didn't take it to heart!" Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, the receptionist breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, the receptionist brought some fruit before leaving.
"Mr. Jiang, you're so imposing now!"
Li Tao grinned at Jiang Yi and said, "See? Everyone in the chamber of commerce looks at you differently now. And that receptionist just now even came to apologize to you and brought us so much fruit."
"We're not here at the chamber of commerce to show off; we have serious business to attend to!" Jiang Yi reminded him.
Hearing this, Li Tao nodded quickly.
"We'll be getting the approval soon, and the matter is finally settled! Next, we can set up the company with peace of mind. We must get the company up and running within half a month!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"It won't take half a month. As long as we have the money, a week is enough!" Li Tao grinned.
"If we can get the company set up within a week, that would be even better. That way, I can eliminate that assassin organization sooner and return to China." Jiang Yi said.
"Mr. Jiang, why are you going back? Your castle and your estate are in Eagle Country. Besides, staying in Eagle Country will allow you to develop better, and you can start more companies in the future!"
Li Tao quickly said.
"I have many things to handle back in China. After I finish dealing with them, I will return to Eagle Country and avenge my master and father."
Jiang Yi finished speaking, his gaze becoming sharp.
The thing Jiang Yi wanted to do most now was to kill his eldest uncle and avenge the deep-seated hatred.
Seeing Jiang Yi's frightening gaze, Li Tao dared not speak further.
Ten minutes later, President Martin came downstairs with the approval documents and handed them to Jiang Yi, saying, "Mr. Jiang Yi, congratulations. From today onwards, you can start a company in Eagle Country. However, there is something I need to discuss with you. Our chamber of commerce has regulations."
"What regulations?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"After your company opens, you must give our chamber of commerce ten percent of your profits." President Martin said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was stunned!
He had never heard of such a rule. Wasn't this blatant robbery?
This President Martin was truly despicable. He had helped Jiang Yi before, and Jiang Yi thought he was a good person, but he turned out to be a scoundrel.
To start a company, not only do you have to pay taxes, but now you also have to give President Martin ten percent of your profits. If it were an ordinary company, it would probably go bankrupt within a month. Even if it made money, a large portion would be taken by Martin.
For a company to continue to operate, profits must be used as working capital for purchasing raw materials, employee salaries, utility fees, and various other expenses. Otherwise, the company would have no way to sustain itself.
"President Martin, this is not right! I've started many companies, and there's no such rule!" Li Tao couldn't help but say.
"You are from China, and your nationality is not Eagle Country, so your company needs to pay ten percent of its profits." President Martin said.
Hearing this, Martin frowned.
"Mr. Jiang Yi, if you don't want to pay ten percent of your profits, that's fine too. You can join Eagle Country's nationality, and then all matters will be resolved," President Martin said with a smile.
"I will not join Eagle Country's nationality. You want ten percent of your profits, don't you? I'll give it to you!" Jiang Yi said.
"In that case, I have nothing more to say!"
President Martin said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company. I will be hosting a reception in a few days, and I will invite you. We can have a few drinks then."
After speaking, President Martin left directly!
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
Although President Martin was not as shameless as Terte, this guy was more greedy than Terte.
"Mr. Jiang, don't make a decision so quickly. It's best to find Mr. Stephen and ask him to help talk to President Martin. If President Martin takes ten percent of the net profit, it will be very difficult for us to make money, and we'll lose a lot." Li Tao said.
Li Tao had run many companies, so he understood clearly.
"It's useless!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and said, "Stephen had already called to ask President Martin to provide me with more convenience, but President Martin still wants to squeeze me. This shows that Stephen's words are useless, and he's not helping us anymore. We can only rely on ourselves."
Since arriving in Eagle Country, Jiang Yi had encountered many frustrating things, first Terte, and now President Martin.
It was truly an inauspicious start.
"Then we can only accept our fate?" Li Tao said.
"President Martin is squeezing me. I've noted this down. Sooner or later, he'll come back to beg me!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Mr. Jiang, do you already have a plan?" Li Tao quickly asked.
"It's not really a plan!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile, "I'm just saying it casually."
Hearing this, Li Tao showed a look of helplessness.
He knew that Jiang Yi must have a plan, but he just didn't want to tell him.
"Alright, let's go!"
After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he picked up the file bag and walked out of the hall.
Li Tao came back to his senses and quickly followed.
As soon as they reached the hall entrance, Jiang Yi felt a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.
Jiang Yi got into the car, closed the car window, and then scanned his surroundings.
Soon, he saw a guy wearing a cowboy hat in a car not far away, staring intently at him.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
If he guessed correctly, this guy should be from that assassin organization.
