He had a place to open a jewelry store.
The next step was to apply for the relevant business permits.
For example, a business license from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and a tax registration from the Tax Bureau. No matter what store he was going to open, these two permits were a must.
Chen Jin planned to go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Tax Bureau respectively to apply for the permits as quickly as possible.
However —
Chen Jin suddenly realized a problem.
Mom worked in the Tax Bureau.
And the store he rented was under the jurisdiction of the Tax Bureau.
That meant that he had to deal with his mom to apply for a tax registration.
This was a little awkward.
Actually, Chen Jin did not want to tell his parents about opening a jewelry store. He did not want them to find out. He wanted to do it secretly.
The reason was very simple. Mom paid too much attention to him. She was like a surveillance camera. She had to know his every move in real time. If she lost contact with him for a few days, she would be so anxious that she could not sleep at night.
This was the great motherly love.
But it also meant that in his mother's heart, she still saw him as a child.
A child who had not grown up.
And no matter what a child did, as a parent, they would unconsciously intervene, give some guidance, or even help the child on his way. It was definitely for the good of the child and to avoid any setbacks.
But Chen Jin was no longer a child!
He was an adult with ideas and responsibilities!
He did not need anyone to help him on his way. He could handle his own matters and did not want others to intervene and guide him.
But … he had already rented the store. It was inevitable that he would have to deal with his mom's unit.
Moreover, he had opened such a large jewelry store. It was too obvious and hard to hide. Sooner or later, his parents would find out.
"Sigh … Instead of this, I'd better tell Mom in advance. Let her be mentally prepared. Also, give me the green light. I'll use her connections to quickly apply for the tax registration."
He made up his mind. During dinner that night, Chen Jin brought up the matter.
At the dining table, Chen Jin brought up this matter. He said that he planned to open a jewelry store and had already taken action. He had already rented the shop.
"What? Son, you're planning to open a jewelry store? "
He Li put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Jin in astonishment. "Didn't you say that you wanted to build robots and enter the high-tech industry? Why are you suddenly interested in a jewelry store? "
Chen Jin chuckled and said, "I don't have the money to play around. The threshold for high-tech is too high, and the investment is also huge. I'm planning to dabble in the service industry first."
"The jewelry store is not a small investment, at least two to three million. Do you have that much money?"
He Li's face was full of suspicion. She had worked in the tax bureau for decades and knew the thresholds of every industry like the back of her hand. Among them, the jewelry industry was considered one of the more expensive industries with higher thresholds.
"I've already solved the financial problem. It won't be a problem to support the jewelry store until it opens. Now, it's about the relevant documents. I want to ask for your help, Mom …"
He Li immediately interrupted him. "Son, where did you get the funds? It costs hundreds of thousands to open a small jewelry store in a remote area, and at least a few million in the city. Where did you get so much money? "
"Some of it is my own, and some of it is borrowed. Mom, don't ask so much."
Chen Jin's face was filled with impatience. His mother always liked to get to the bottom of things.
"You have to tell me clearly, how much did you borrow? Who borrowed it from? Don't borrow money from those third-party lending platforms. You can't afford it, so hurry up and pay it back! I'll give you the money! "
He Li's face was solemn as she spoke in rapid succession. It was her son's first time starting his own business, and he knew nothing about the market. She had to help check on him!
"I borrowed it from a friend. It's only a few hundred thousand. Mom, I said that I want to be independent and not depend on my parents anymore. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility myself. Don't worry so much!"
Chen Jin said in a pleading tone. Having a mother like this was very vexing to him sometimes.
"Okay …"
He Li realized that it was inappropriate and did not continue to press him. But she could not help but add, "Son, if there are any financial problems, look for me immediately. I'll solve it for you if it's within five million!"
Chen Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Just help me apply for the tax registration two days in advance."
"Sure, no problem. I can help you with this." It was just a matter of a few words. In addition, He Li had acquaintances at the industry and commerce bureau. Her son's business license could be processed through the green channel. It was guaranteed to be done in half a day!
"That's great, thank you, Mom!"
Chen Jin was very happy. He sighed with emotion at how great it was to have a mother like this.
"Silly son, you don't have to be so polite with me."
He Li smiled and shook her head. She turned to look at Chen Gang, who was sitting next to her. "Old Chen, your son has really started his own business. He wants to open a jewelry store."
But for some reason, Chen Gang seemed to be out of it. His eyes kept glancing at the watch on his left wrist, and he was in a daze.
It was like this for a few days.
He did not hear a single word of the conversation between Chen Jin and He Li. His eyes were glued to the watch, following the movement of the second hand. Occasionally, he could even be heard muttering, "It's too accurate, it's impossible …"
"Old Chen! I'm talking to you! "
He Li was furious. She nudged him hard with her elbow.
"Oh, oh, oh."
Chen Gang walked out of his daze. He adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked in a daze, "What are you guys talking about?"
He Li rolled her eyes at him. She had no choice but to tell him about her son's plans to open a jewelry store.
"Jewelry store?"
Chen Gang looked at Chen Jin in astonishment. "Eh? Didn't you say you wanted to build robots and develop artificial intelligence? Why are you opening a jewelry store? "
"Yeah, but I have to save money first. I need to accumulate some basic capital before I start researching advanced technology. How can I do that without money?"
Chen Gang was stunned for a moment. He nodded. "That makes sense. You should focus on your jewelry store and try to make more money!"
He felt that his son's idea of opening a jewelry store was sound, so he expressed his support.
But he remembered something and could not help but ask, "Son, where did you get this watch you gave me?"
He lifted his wrist and placed the watch in front of Chen Jin. His face was full of confusion.
"Dad, didn't I tell you? I bought this watch from a street stall for $80." Chen Jin rolled his eyes. His dad had asked him the same question more than 10 times recently. He did not want to explain anymore.
"Where's the stall? Can you take me there to have a look?"
"I can't find it. They are mobile. How can I find them in such a big city?" Chen Jin shrugged.
"Okay …"
Chen Gang shook his head helplessly.
