Bureaucratic Stuff in China and Postponement of Russian Dinner

I went to Agricultural Bank of China right at 9 o'clock to open several accounts for stockholders. After lining up for more than a half hour, the clerk rejected my application, making me very irritated by the bureaucratic operation of banks in China and the troublesome process of registering a company in this country. I called my agent and he suggested me to try another bank. Queuing for more than one hour this time in another bank, fortunately, his suggestion worked! Afterwards, I emailed Jolt some data and reminded him to move on the next step as soon as possible.

It is exhausting to set up a company in China. However, I keep telling myself that all these annoying trivia are just beginning of owning my own business. The centerpiece has even not yet begun. So be patient!

At noon of Yesterday, I got Creek’s text message and then phoned her to accept the phone call interview for workshop. The result will not be notified until next week, meaning that I have to keep thinking of this thing until next week. The total required cash for this event is 7600 RMB, but I think it is worthwhile.

Today it is raining in Beijing, resulting in postponement of my appointment with Olive to go swimming this afternoon and then to have an exquisite dinner in a Russian restaurant near Xizhi Men (西直門). I have been looking for this get-together since last night I confirmed my schedule with him. I do need a relaxation and some social life now. Besides, Olive is going to leave China a couples days later. I am sad about his departure but this is the correct decision he has to make. Bless him!
