It is better to seek help from others than from yourself.
You should fight for your own dreams.
Zhang Fei initially provided legal aid to Xu Zhiqian at the firm, which was actually what he meant.
After all, the two of them have many different concepts.
We can help each other, but if we can't force each other, that would be boring.
Although the current relationship between the two is different from before, at this point, neither Zhang Fei nor Xu Zhiqian believes that anything needs to change.
However, Zhang Fei's ideas have changed somewhat.
He found that in this society, we can no longer blindly follow the principles of procedural justice, but must first think about substantive justice.
If procedural justice is a scale, in the past era, the weights on both ends of the scale were not exactly the same, but at least they were similar. Even if you go to Nanshan, you have to provide concrete evidence and cannot fabricate it out of thin air.
But in this era, procedural justice is inherently skewed.
Moreover, it must be tilted towards the strong.
So in order to achieve procedural justice, we must first make both ends of the scale equal, and the way is to add weights, and the litigation method is this weight.
To put it simply, if Zhang Fei continues to blindly pursue procedural justice, the result will be to further destroy procedural justice, tilt the balance even more, and at the same time further destroy the entire industry.
If he pursues substantive justice, he is building procedural justice and the industry.
Those who are strong must be forced to produce evidence to litigate, and they can no longer act recklessly.
Zhang Fei changed from a person who enjoyed the shade to a person who planted trees.
But there is a problem here. Planting trees requires costs.
Where does this money come from.
When you pursue substantive justice, you won’t make much money. Of course, if you follow the routine of procedural justice, you won’t actually make much money either.
The reason is simple: the weak will gradually give up litigating.
Must lose.
So what's there to do?
Income is a problem.
Without money, it is difficult to get around.
Genuine printing shop.
"Saburo is here!"
"Hello, proprietor!"
When the craftsmen of the printing shop saw Zhang Fei coming, they all stood up and saluted. Regardless of whether it was their first meeting, they were all respectful.
Although they were printers, they also knew the lawsuit very well. Now when they go to teahouses, they can hear everyone discussing the lawsuit.
Even the magistrate of Kaifeng County was pulled down by our proprietors. The admiration for Zhang Fei is like a torrential river.
Not only that, they also feel more at ease and are not afraid of being bullied again.
At the same time, more craftsmen have joined Genuine Printing Workshop.
Hou Donglai, who was accompanying him, immediately claimed the credit and said: "Sanlang, now our printing shop has hired more than thirty craftsmen, plus some apprentices, there are already more than fifty people. Although we have not made any money yet, we have
It is already the number one printing house in Tokyo."
Zhang Fei has been urging him to recruit workers.
Isn't profit the first priority? Zhang Fei swallowed and asked, "What about the monthly expenses?"
Hou Donglai said: "It's still a few hundred dollars less. Besides, look, when will we rent the courtyard next door, this place is no longer enough."
Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Don't just talk about this, you have to tell me when you can make a profit?"
Hou Donglai was stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid it will take two or three months before printing can start. It will take at least half a year to really make a profit."
Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Does it take so long?"
Hou Donglai said: "This is not your order. We want to print the most beautiful books. Every word must be carefully crafted. This will take a lot of time. There is also the movable type, although this technology has already been achieved.
It's almost the same, but you still need to carve a lot of movable type, which also takes time."
"That's true!"
Zhang Fei nodded.
One wrong step, one wrong step!
He originally thought he would make a lot of money once his reputation was established and he got a tax calculation. However, after all the twists and turns, he has lost a lot of money to this day.
And this genuine printing shop was originally bought to make money.
In the end, I smashed a thousand guan into it and didn’t get any bubbles. I still have to wait for half a year. How can I keep doing this?
Zhang Fei sighed secretly, it is a pity that these two businesses cannot attract people to invest, otherwise, it would be much easier.
The fundamental purpose of the printing workshop he set up was to compete for the power of public opinion. If people were to invest in it, they would be constrained. After all, people invest to make money, not to cause trouble and offend the scholar-bureaucrats.
Bianjing Law Firm is also facing the same problem. If someone else invests, Wei Yushan's lawsuit may not be able to be fought. Maybe the investor is Wei Yushan.
Suddenly, Zhang Fei seemed to think of something and asked: "By the way! The contract you sent to my office last time was very good. Have you calculated the cost?"
Hou Donglai was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I have only estimated it, but I have not calculated it specifically, but it should be about the same."
Zhang Fei asked: "How much is that?"
Hou Donglai said: "It depends on how many copies are printed. The more copies, the lower the cost. If it reaches three thousand copies, the cost can be reduced to two cents. If it exceeds five thousand copies, the cost can be reduced to one cent.
.If movable type printing is used by then, it may not even cost a penny."
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "So few?"
Hou Donglai nodded and said: "This contract does not have many words, but it is not like those books, so the cost is of course very low."
Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully.
He had considered doing this printing contract business before, and now all the contracts of Bianjing Law Firm are purchased from here, but after the tax calculation came up, he forgot about it. After all, it was not a big deal.
Nowadays, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
The next day!
Bianjing Law Firm.
"Why did you invite us here today?" Ma Tianhao was as straightforward as ever.
Next to them, Chen Maoqian and Fan Yong looked at Zhang Fei cautiously, even with a hint of fear.
Zhang Fei glanced at Chen Maoqian and said, "Isn't it hard for Mr. Chen to do business recently?"
Chen Maoqian became angry when he heard this. He said in a tone that he dared not speak out in anger, "Thanks to you, I almost died."
Due to Geng Ming's case, the court had to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Bai Qi, among which Yaren was the key target.
Bai Qi is mostly caused by Ya people.
Doing this made their teeth tremble with fear.
And all this is thanks to Zhang Fei. Chen Maoqian has not been here for a long time, and he is very resentful. I am your big customer, and you come to mess with me?
What a waste of cooperation!
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's coming soon."
"What do you mean by that?"
Chen Maoqian suddenly panicked.
Zhang Fei said: "Recently, many people have come to me to file lawsuits. They want to sue you, Fang Ya."
Chen Maoqian immediately became anxious and stood up: "Zhang San, I am a big customer in your store, and I treat you well. You can't be ungrateful and sue me in turn."
Now this guy is getting more and more terrifying. If he sues me, he will have to shed a layer of skin even if he doesn't die!
Can Chen Maoqian not be afraid?
Even Ma Tianhao and Fan Yong were in panic. Who among the gangsters was innocent?
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, how could I sue you? I still have this professional quality, I will only help you, sit down!"
Chen Maoqian still felt guilty and asked, "Are you really not going to sue?"
"As long as you maintain the cooperative relationship with the store, how can I sue you? Doesn't that mean I have breached the contract?" Zhang Fei said.
Chen Maoqian thinks about it, you are my legal advisor, and you sue me in turn,
Then you are violating the contract.
Then he sat down.
Zhang Fei added: "This is also the purpose of inviting you here. Nowadays, there are more and more contract disputes, especially those of you involving land and houses, which are the key supervision targets of the imperial court. Contracts must not be allowed
Something went wrong."
Ma Tianhao said: "Didn't I pay you to help us draft a contract?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded and added, "But those scattered contracts are still drafted by you yourself."
Chen Maoqian asked: "Those small contracts are also coming to you. Are you busy enough?"
For example, the lease contract in Chen Maoqian's shop was written by themselves. After all, it has been used for so long and it is relatively standardized. However, some people who involve relatively large amounts of money come to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said: "I am very worried about this right now."
Fan Yong asked: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "I have seen the contracts in your store in detail, and there are too many loopholes. Now the court is paying close attention to this aspect, and key customers are also more cautious. As your legal advisor, it is necessary for me to help you avoid this risk.
.”
Ma Tianhao nodded and said, "What you said sounds good to me."
"must."
Zhang Fei said: "Our Bianjing Law Firm's service does not mean that if you come to me on your own initiative, it may be too late, but that if there is a problem, we will contact you as soon as possible."
Fan Yong asked: "Then what can you do?"
"print!"
Zhang Fei said: "People always make mistakes when writing. When printing, as long as you check the printing plate clearly, the chance of making mistakes is very small. I plan to provide this kind of printed version of the contract for all customers in our store, just like the mortgage contract.
When signing, you only need to fill in your name and amount.”
Ma Tianhao immediately nodded and said: "This is a good idea. The mortgage contract has too many words and is really difficult to write."
Complaints are complaints, but he has benefited greatly from them. After his mortgage contract is standardized, it will be much more convenient.
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Hao still has vision."
Fan Yong saw Zhang Fei smiling strangely, and felt something was wrong in his heart, so he asked, "Doesn't this contract require additional payment?"
Zhang Fei's contract is too expensive.
Only mortgage contracts and shareholder contracts can match this price.
"Won't!"
Zhang Fei said: "Our cooperation contract has been very clearly written, and we will provide you with services in this area."
Fan Yong nodded and thought, could it be my misunderstanding?
But as soon as this idea came up, Zhang Fei said again: "But printing costs money, you can make the money."
Ma Tianhao quit, "We still have to pay for it!"
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Brother Hao, you have to be conscientious when doing business. If you print thousands of copies of your mortgage contract a year, I will have to pay it back to you. I am a Bianjing Law Firm after all, and I am not a lawyer."
printed!"
Fan Yong whispered: "Isn't the genuine printing workshop yours too?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's mine, but the contracts currently used by my Bianjing Law Firm were all purchased from genuine printing workshops. You are all big businessmen, so it's not difficult to understand."
Chen Maoqian was the first to compromise. Now that the imperial court is rectifying his teeth, he is walking on thin ice and asked: "How much does it cost?"
Zhang Fei said: "It varies from three to five to ten characters. It depends on the number of words and the amount of printing. If it is a special contract, it is not as good as handwriting. But if it is a lease contract, printing can be used."
Ma Tianhao was very happy, "I said Zhang San, are you short of money?"
Zhang Fei felt guilty and said, "Brother Hao, how can you say this?"
Ma Tianhao said: "You originally signed a contract of five hundred cents, but now you have even made a deal for five cents."
Sigh. This is indeed too cheap. It’s not easy to make money! Zhang Fei coughed: "The nature is different. The money for drafting the contract is included in the cost of our cooperation. These five cents belong to the printing workshop.
.”
Chen Maoqian said: "Five pennies a copy doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a lot when you add it all up. You can't even spend that much money writing it yourself."
"You can't think like that."
Zhang Fei said: "You have to think about how much compensation you will have to pay if you are fined by the court because of a problem with the contract. Moreover, there is also my contract design, which can avoid a lot of risks."
Fan Yong finally understood that this was robbery. He sighed and said, "Brother Chen, don't say anything else. You have to spend the money if you don't want to spend it. If something goes wrong then, he might not even be there."
Will help us."
Ma Tianhao also reacted and hummed: "You are more ruthless than us in lending money."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Brother Hao, you have to be humble. I am not as ruthless as you. I want to be more ruthless. You cough, cough, if you really feel aggrieved and unhappy, why not ask your colleagues to print the contract?
If everyone is the same, there will be no grievances, and we won’t let our peers take advantage of us in terms of cost!”
Ma Tianhao asked: "How to get them to print the contract?"
Zhang Fei said: "Help me promote it. It costs five cents to buy a contract. If you are accused once, you will get five hundred cents."
This is no business.
This is fucking robbery.
But then I thought about it, it’s not a big deal if they always grab a few of us.
As the saying goes, happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone.
