301: Register Singapore Wuyou Media
Zhang Rui and his roommates had all gone to work. Li Qinghe slowly finished his morning routine before grabbing a small bag and preparing to leave.
Yesterday, the system update was completed, and he bought an office building in the system store.
Today, the new 4 popularity coins were credited to his account, so he browsed the store again.
Since he could only buy two items a week, he naturally used all 4 popularity coins to make purchases.
Originally, several high-end apartments on Orchard Road were quite good, but their prices were only one or two coins. If he bought them and wanted to buy more, he would have to wait until next week.
So, Li Qinghe spent some time searching through the system.
His gaze eventually stopped on a property.
No. 11 Bukit Timah Road, with a land area of 1552 square meters, a three-story detached villa, and a building area of 907 square meters, for 4 popularity coins.
Li Qinghe chose this one without hesitation.
After the system upgrade, Li Qinghe felt life was much easier.
No matter where he went, as long as he stayed there for a week, he could basically have whatever he wanted.
The remaining time could be spent slowly exploring this island nation.
Li Qinghe first went to the nearby Chinatown Complex to have breakfast.
Zhang Rui had specifically told Li Qinghe before leaving in the morning that if he wanted breakfast, he could go to the hawker center on the second floor there.
This was a food hub as famous as the Maxwell Food Centre he visited yesterday.
There were also several Michelin-recommended eateries here.
After Li Qinghe walked into the Chinatown Complex, he found it was a huge wet market, with all kinds of fresh produce, cooked food, and dried goods everywhere.
However, Li Qinghe's goal was clear, so he went straight to the second floor.
Perhaps because it was located inside the complex, the lighting was relatively insufficient.
The hawker center's lighting was much dimmer compared to the Maxwell Food Centre yesterday.
However, this, in turn, added a sense of history and everyday life.
In fact, after eating there yesterday, Li Qinghe realized that the so-called Michelin-recommended food was just mediocre.
Compared to the tastes of Dragon Country People people, the food in these places was a bit too simple, belonging to the category of daily fast-food gathering spots.
In China, these were places where workers would grab a quick bite to save time.
The main reason these places were so popular was that Singapore did not allow people to cook at home, with very strict regulations on smoke emissions. Traditional Dragon Country People cooking, however, absolutely required a lot of smoke.
So, those who couldn't cook, didn't want to cook, and wanted to save money while getting good value, could only go to these centralized hawker centers or food courts downstairs in their residential areas to eat.
It must be said that this indeed supported a large number of catering professionals and small business owners.
It is said that the Singaporean government is even proud of these affordable hawker centers and food courts, considering them one of the government's welfare benefits.
However, currently, most of the people working in these hawker centers are elderly; there are very few young people. From Li Qinghe's observation, the average age of the stall owners here should be at least around 60 years old.
This was especially true for some old establishments, where mostly white-haired seniors were diligently preparing various delicacies for everyone.
Li Qinghe didn't feel like eating noodles or similar dishes in the morning; he had eaten too many in Vietnam and wanted a change of taste.
He finally chose a beef noodle stall and ate a large bowl of pork and shrimp dumplings, priced at 6.5 singapore dollars.
The taste of the dumplings made Li Qinghe very satisfied; they had thin skins, tender meat, and a fresh, sweet flavor.
This instantly made him feel a great appetite, despite not having much earlier.
So, Li Qinghe went on to try several other snacks.
After leaving the Chinatown Complex, Li Qinghe took the MRT to Orchard Road.
The MRT in Singapore is very interesting; it can be remembered by colors: red, green, blue, yellow, and purple.
Relatively speaking, for such a small island nation, the MRT transportation system is very well-developed.
The MRT can reach over 95% of Singapore.
Because the place is too small, it's very easy to get stuck in traffic if one is not careful.
This is also a very important reason why the Singaporean government encourages public transportation and restricts private cars.
Li Qinghe exited and went to an office building 50 meters from the MRT station, heading straight to the 11th floor.
"Welcome. Do you have an appointment?"
The beautiful Miss at the front desk stood up and greeted Li Qinghe in English, in a manner perfectly suited for business etiquette.
"I have an appointment with Mr. Wong at 10:00."
Li Qinghe came here for company registration matters.
Because all foreigners registering companies in Singapore must do so through a local secretarial service agency.
It is said to standardize all company registration processes.
But from another perspective, this also created some job opportunities.
Li Qinghe sat in the small meeting room for a while, and then a middle-aged man in a shirt and trousers walked in.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am William Wong. I'm glad you chose our company's services. I'd like to know what your office requirements are? Also, do you have an office location and a personal residence in Singapore?"
The middle-aged man came in and directly discussed the business with Li Qinghe.
No small talk, no pleasantries, just straight to the point.
Li Qinghe also didn't want to engage in too many pleasantries with him, so he directly stated his requirements.
Regarding the questions about the office location and residence asked by this middle-aged man named William Wong, he directly presented the property deeds for the office building and private villa.
Indeed, money makes the world go 'round. William Wong, who initially treated Li Qinghe with a business-like attitude due to his younger age, suddenly softened his tone considerably.
It's simple: Singapore is just that realistic. They respect wealth, not people.
William Wong, with much more patience than before, explained in detail to Li Qinghe the things to pay attention to when registering a company in Singapore.
Li Qinghe then learned that the Singaporean government allows 100% foreign ownership for private company registration.
However, this company must have a Singaporean local as a director.
This director does not have to be a shareholder but must be a Singaporean citizen, a Singapore permanent resident, or an EntrePass/Employment Pass (EP) holder.
Furthermore, the company must appoint a local Singaporean as its company secretary within six months.
The sole director and secretary of the company cannot be the same person.
Li Qinghe was delighted to hear this. This was what was called a developed country, where the state forcibly demanded job opportunities from foreign investors.
It goes without saying that this director and secretary must be paid.
With so many companies registered in Singapore, just the directors and secretaries could solve many people's employment problems.
Regarding the company name, Li Qinghe still insisted on using Qinghe Worry-Free Media.
For the registered capital, he casually used 1 million singapore dollars, because the system salary he had received in just these two days was over 1 million singapore dollars.
Taking a small amount out for registered capital was easy.
After reviewing all the documents Li Qinghe had prepared for company registration, William Wong shook his hand very politely.
"Mr. Li, your documents are very complete, and your office conditions are excellent. The company can be registered within a day."
"Moving forward, your work here will be followed up by my colleague, Tina."
After William Wong clearly explained the relevant matters to Li Qinghe, he asked him to wait a little longer in the meeting room, and his colleague would follow up and handle the subsequent work.
