Not long after Ma Tianhao and the others left, Fan Li came back from outside.
"How was the talk?"
Zhang Fei asked.
Fan Li nodded and said, "Li Guozhong said that as long as our firm promises not to litigate with them over the contract regulations in the future, then they will agree to use our contract, but they must sign the contract."
Zhang Fei nodded: "No problem, I will draw up a contract then, and you can go talk to them."
To be honest, these bookstores are the big ones who signed the contract. Although they are colleagues, Zhang Fei, who is now extremely vicious, is not willing to let go, so he asked Fan Li to talk to them.
If we all agree on the contract, at least in terms of the contract regulations, there will be no conflicts.
After all, they might meet in court.
Li Guozhong and others were also afraid of Zhang Fei, and they knew in their hearts that there were many flaws in their own regulations. Since Zhang Fei came to ask about this matter, they really didn't dare not agree.
Fan Li suddenly asked: "Sanlang, are you short of money?"
In their eyes, Zhang Fei has a high-profile image, and if he suddenly started doing business for just a few pennies, there must be a financial problem.
Zhang Fei sighed: "I won't hide it from you. Originally, I planned to rely on my reputation to fight more lawsuits to make money, but now even you don't dare to take on those lawsuits that harm my reputation. It can be seen that this reputation has bound us first.
.
But if fame can't be converted into benefits, what's the point? We don't want to leave a name in history. So I can only find another way. But don't underestimate this contract. It only costs a few cents, but as long as it's big enough, you can earn a lot.
There must be a lot of money.
Later you have to send someone to publicize it. Ordinary people can also buy our contract. If they find someone to write a contract, most of them will be more expensive than us."
"If everyone in the world uses our contract, we can indeed make a lot of money!"
Fan Li nodded slightly, but then said: "But everyone's purpose of making a contract is different, so it probably doesn't apply to printing, right?"
Zhang Fei said: "I will take care of this. Please wait and ask those Erbi to show me the contracts commonly used by everyone."
"Why!"
Fan Li nodded and suddenly said: "That's right! Speaking of this lawsuit, I almost forgot to tell you something. I just found out that Li Guozhong's bookstore has taken over the lawsuit between his son and his neighbor over the house."
Zhang Fei was startled: "Really?"
Fan Li hummed, "He also knew that we didn't pick up the call, and he just asked me why we didn't pick up the call. I think he probably wanted to find out if we helped the aunt."
Zhang Fei asked: "Then did you tell them?"
"of course not."
Fan Li shook his head, "It would be more beneficial for us not to say anything."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "It's okay to let Zhi Qian practice with them."
It was already the third watch, and Zhang Fei was still working at his desk. He had to draft various types of contracts early, because he would have to make engravings by then, which would take a lot of time.
It can be seen that it is not easy for this time traveler to make money.
He doesn't dare to do any more black technology now.
As a liberal arts graduate, he only knew some principles. Only now did he realize that it would take a long way to turn these principles into commercial products.
A movable type printing technique has burned nearly a thousand coins before even producing finished movable type.
Although his requirements are relatively high, this technology is still the Northern Song Dynasty's own.
He didn't have a strong foundation, so he really didn't dare to try again.
It's too expensive.
But Gao Wenyin stood silently aside as always, holding a cattail leaf fan in hand, helping Zhang Fei fan the wind to drive away mosquitoes.
This woman is truly an addictive poison that subtly makes you dependent on her.
Anyway, Zhang Fei can't live without her.
Zhang Fei suddenly put down his pen, rubbed his eyes, and thought to himself, the era without electric lights was really not suitable for working night shifts!
Gao Wenyin next to him saw this and said softly: "Three
Lang, you can actually let Seventh Brother do this kind of thing."
Ever since Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian established their relationship, she had consciously slowly changed the name she used to address Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei knew it in his heart and didn't point it out. He looked back at her and explained: "This first draft cannot be written by someone else."
Gao Wenyin asked: "Why?"
"because.."
Zhang Fei paused for a moment, then turned around and said, "How about Madam, sit down first, while you stand, I have to twist my neck to talk to you."
"oh."
Gao Wenyin hurriedly sat down and fanned her feet with a fan.
Zhang Fei explained: "If I don't write with my hands and just speak with my mouth, then I can only give a rough idea. But this is not a pleading, but a contract. No details can be missed. I must write the first draft myself.
After I finish writing it, I will give it to Lao Qi to read."
This is actually a matter of habit. Writing and dictation are completely two kinds of thinking.
In addition, Xu Zhiqian was originally helping with this matter, but Xu Zhiqian is now busy preparing for the lawsuit, and Zhang Fei also plans to let Feng Nancy give it a try.
Feng Nanxi's writing style is not as gorgeous as Xu Zhiqian's, but she is very sophisticated. After all, she is a writer and writer.
In terms of the petition, it may not be as impressive as Xu Zhiqian's petition, but in terms of the contract, it should be more suitable than Xu Zhiqian's.
Gao Wenyin nodded in understanding, not knowing what the difference was. Seeing that Zhang Fei had no intention of continuing to write, she asked curiously: "But I just saw that there are many blank spaces in the contract. Why is that?"
She had been looking at it just now, and she was curious about what those blank spaces were for.
Zhang Fei said: "I plan to print these contracts and sell them to merchants and citizens. You should know that many people today are illiterate and are often deceived when making contracts with others. When my contract is printed,
They only need to spend two or three dollars to buy a contract from me, and they can avoid some risks of being deceived. So those blank spaces are reserved for the person who signed the contract to write the name and date, and they can only do this by themselves.
Write."
Gao Wenyin's eyes lit up: "This is a really good idea. No wonder you, Sanlang, just wrote a contract about a loan. The most commonly used contract among people is a loan contract."
Zhang Fei suddenly looked at her and said, "It turns out that Madam can also read and write!"
Gao Wenyin groaned and said shyly: "I learned some lessons from my father when I was young, but I can't do it with Madam Xu."
"Really?" Zhang Fei asked, "What does your father do?"
Gao Wenyin said sadly: "My father used to be a squire in Qinxiang, Xiangfu County. He passed away five years ago."
"Where's your mother?"
"My mother passed away a long time ago."
"Then don't you have any other relatives at home?" Zhang Fei asked again.
Gao Wenyin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
Zhang Fei saw that she seemed unwilling to say more, so he didn't feel comfortable asking. Suddenly he saw several red and swollen spots on the white skin on the back of her left hand, which looked like mosquito bites, so he said, "Just help me."
Drive away the mosquitoes and see how you get bitten."
Gao Wenyin looked down, quickly retracted her hand, shook her head gently and said, "It's okay, you'll be fine after a while."
Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly and saw that she was wearing a gray hemp skirt, which did not show off her plump and exquisite figure. She didn't even give her a chance to satisfy her eyes. He asked: "Why are you wearing this hemp skirt? Our family
Are you so poor that you can’t even afford silk?”
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "No, it's just that I have to cook something for you later. It's more appropriate to wear this linen skirt."
Zhang Fei nodded and suddenly stood up, "Let's go together."
Gao Wenyin stood up hurriedly and said: "No, I can do it alone. You take a rest first, it will be fine in a while."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I've just been sitting for a long time and want to move around. I'll cook tonight as a thank you for feeding the mosquitoes for me."
Gao Wenyin subconsciously hid her hands behind her back, causing Zhang Fei to laugh.
A cup of tea.
"How is the taste?"
Zhang Fei put his hands on the kitchen table and looked at the only taster in the room like a chef.
"It's soft and refreshing. It's really delicious." Gao Wenyin nodded happily and asked Zhang Fei, "What's the name of this dish?"
"Steamed Vermicelli Roll."
"Steamed Vermicelli Roll?"
Gao Wenyin lowered her head and glanced at the white dough covered with sauce and minced meat on the plate.
"Don't ask me why I'm called that, I don't know either." With that said, Zhang Fei sat down.
Gao Wenyin secretly glanced at Zhang Fei and asked very curiously: "Sanlang, logically speaking, you scholars rarely go to the kitchen. Why do you know how to cook so well?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed: "It's a long story. My grandpa told me that cooking good food can make women happy. Unfortunately, nowadays, women all like poems and songs, and I have no cooking skills.
"Exercise."
Gao Wenyin's cheeks immediately turned red and she said shyly, "You must have made this up. How can any grandpa say that?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said without comment, "But you must not tell Xiaotao, otherwise, she will be sulky for several days."
Gao Wenyin thought of Xiao Tao sulking over hot pot those days, and couldn't help but smile. Two charming dimples were slightly exposed at the corners of her mouth. She nodded and said, "Can Sanlang teach me how to make this rice rolls?"
Zhang Fei asked in astonishment: "What are you learning for?"
"I'll learn how to cook it for you to eat!"
"Oh that's fine!"
After three consecutive days of intensive work, Zhang Fei finally wrote six contract samples, two of which were contracts related to homestead transactions.
There are also two contracts related to the trading of bulk commodities, namely tea, salt, wine, and sugar.
The remaining two are about borrowing and lending.
Of course, this was just a first draft. After all, the writing style of these days was different from that of his time. Although he had made progress, this thing was too professional, so he still dumped it directly to Nancy Feng.
And he continues to review the more common contracts nowadays. He plans to monopolize all contracts in Tokyo shops.
This business actually involves small profits but quick turnover.
"It really pisses me off."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly walked in angrily.
Zhang Fei immediately stopped what he was doing, looked at her, smiled and said, "Who made me, Xu Darbi, angry?"
Xu Zhiqian didn't care about this title at first, but Zhang Fei's tone made her feel that this title was not very good. He rolled his eyes at her and said: "The good guy is so good and the bad guy is so bad. It's really annoying. Then Aunt Liu saw that Uncle Huang
He was so aggressive that he wanted to file a lawsuit with her, which frightened her so much that she even planned to give up the house, and even said that she would return the deed to the house to Uncle Huang."
Zhang Fei frowned: "What should we do?"
Xu Zhiqian said with lingering fear: "Fortunately I went, and Aunt Liu's son was not very willing, so I finally persuaded Aunt Liu. But that Uncle Huang is really not the same thing, you know, he also
She was afraid of being accused of being unfilial, so she privately threatened her mother and asked her to tell the neighbors that she was the one who didn't want to live with her son. She didn't expect that there were such people in the world, they were really worse than animals."
"Did his mother say that?" Zhang Fei asked with a frown.
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "I just told Aunt Liu secretly. I told others that I was used to living in the old house and didn't want to live with my son. Then Uncle Huang usually passed by and took a look. One time
When the rice vat was out of rice, they didn’t say anything about bringing some rice. Now people are still saying that Aunt Liu took advantage of his mother’s illness to defraud his family’s land deed.”
Zhang Fei said: "This is very difficult to handle."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "But the neighbors have seen all this, and they can testify."
Zhang Fei sighed: "But this lawsuit is beneficial to him, and his mother is saying so outside, so he has reasons to excuse himself. As long as there is no sufficient reason, the presiding judge will generally not rule in favor of us.
"
Having said this, he paused for a moment,
"By the way, there should be a written document for the transfer of the land title, right?"
"It's worth it."
Xu Zhiqian nodded, then took out a piece of paper from her waist, "I just copied this, but I haven't paid taxes yet, so it can only be regarded as a white deed."
Zhang Fei said: "It hasn't been more than two months, right?"
"No."
"That's what works."
Zhang Fei took it and looked at it for a while, then suddenly murmured to himself: "Repay..."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Then Granny Huang gave her her house to Aunt Liu in return for her kindness in serving her. Do you want to regard this house as a reward for taking care of Granny Huang?"
Zhang Fei said: "You have already thought of it."
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "But I'm afraid it won't cost much. Then Uncle Huang is willing to spend money to litigate, so he will definitely be willing to pay this small amount of remuneration. I did the math, even if it is five dollars a month, it will only be one hundred and eighty in three years."
Ten coins, but compared to the value of that house, it is nothing. If this is the result, it will be too cheap for Uncle Huang."
"That's true."
Zhang Fei nodded, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "We have the final say on how much we want. It can be one hundred and eighty guan, or it can be 1,800 guan. But the other party doesn't say how much it will be.
It’s the presiding judge who has the final say.”
Xu Zhiqian said: "The presiding judge also has to make a judgment according to the law. You can't just say the number. You have to have a basis. If you look at the basis, five guan of money is enough."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Have you forgotten that I am the best at claiming compensation. What we have to consider now is how to convince the chief judge."
