Chapter 369 As soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is any
Huang Zhiqiu and the others waited in the reception room until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when Mayor Lu came back smelling of alcohol.
After listening to Director He's report, Township Chief Lu's attitude toward Huang Zhiqiu suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"Oh, Sister Huang, I've kept you waiting for a long time. Please take a seat. Xiao He, come in and make some cups of tea."
"Okay, Mayor Lu."
Township Chief Lu handed the drafted contract to Huang Zhiqiu, "Sister Huang, take a look at this contract. If there is no problem, I will ask Director He to print it out and we will formally sign the contract?"
Huang Zhiqiu took the contract, read it word for word, and handed it to Lawyer Ma.
"Lawyer Ma, take a look."
"good."
Before that, Lawyer Ma had remained silent, and Township Chief Lu thought that Lawyer Ma, like Huang Jianjun, was from the Huang family.
Hearing Huang Zhiqiu's name, his expression changed slightly.
"Sister Huang, this is..."
In order not to disturb Lawyer Ma, Huang Zhiqiu deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Lu, my eldest brother and I are setting up a factory for the first time and have no experience, so we asked Lawyer Ma to come over and help us check the factory."
"Haha, so that's it."
As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.
Lawyer Ma pointed out several areas in the contract that were controversial or unclear about responsibilities. Lawyer Ma spoke out the legal provisions one by one in sharp words, and Mayor Lu had to write to make amendments and changes.
After an hour of arguing, the terms of the contract were finally agreed upon.
Huang Zhiqiu obtained the school and the land on the hilltop at a previously negotiated price and on the condition that he would help build roads in the village for free.
The lease term is 20 years, and the deposit is 5,000 yuan. After signing the contract, this year's rent will be paid in full within half a month, totaling 10,000 yuan.
Seeing with his own eyes that Mayor Lu put the bright red official seal of the township government on the contract, Huang Zhiqiu's anxious heart finally settled.
After leaving the township government, Huang Zhiqiu immediately paid 50 yuan in labor fees to Lawyer Ma.
"Lawyer Ma, thank you so much for taking you so long today. Let's treat you to a light meal tonight."
Lawyer Ma put the money away, smiled and said: "I don't need it for eating. This is my duty. However, you did the right thing by inviting me today. The land lease contract written by Township Mayor Lu has several places.
This is extremely detrimental to you. If you sign directly, you will definitely suffer big losses in the future."
Hearing what Lawyer Ma said, Huang Zhiqiu and the other two people couldn't help but feel lingering fears.
"But don't worry, I have pointed out all the clauses that are harmful to the interests of Party B. Now this land lease contract is beneficial to you."
After hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Lawyer Ma again.
After the lawyer sent Ma left, Huang Zhiqiu took the key to the school gate given by Director He and went to the school happily.
After being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, the surface of the lock was stained with rust, and the lock core was probably stuck by the rust. Huang Zhiqiu and the others failed to open the lock even after a lot of effort.
In this case, oil must be poured into the lock core for lubrication.
Fortunately, there were two farmhouses not far from the school, and Huang Qingning suggested borrowing some oil.
An old woman lived in the first farmhouse. When she heard that they wanted to borrow oil, she drove them away without saying a word with a cold face.
"No, no, I don't eat oil at home, so I have to go somewhere else!"
Huang Zhiqiu and the others had no choice but to turn around and go to the second house.
As he walked, Huang Qingning looked back at the old woman standing at the door, glaring at the three of them, and whispered: "This old woman is so stingy, she won't even lend her some gas."
"Old people are used to hardships and are more frugal. We just go to the front and ask."
The second house seemed to be in better condition, a brick house with red tiles and a 2-meter-high wall surrounding the outside.
The person who opened the door was a young man. Thinking that young people should be easier to talk to, Huang Qingning took the initiative to explain the purpose of borrowing oil.
"Just a little bit will do. Let's just moisten the lock cylinder."
The young man looked at the three of them for a long time and neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he turned his head and called "Mom" home.
After a while, a woman about the same age as Huang Zhiqiu walked out of it.
"What do you do?"
Huang Zhiqiu politely repeated his request to borrow oil.
After hearing this, the woman simply said she would not borrow it, and then closed the door with a bang.
Huang Zhiqiu and the other three looked at each other in shock.
Although rural areas in this era are not very wealthy, it is not too difficult to borrow half a spoon of oil. Most people can borrow it.
"Is it because we are foreigners that we don't want to borrow it?"
"It's possible."
Since you can't borrow it, just spend money to buy it.
Huang Zhiqiu knocked on the other party's door again and expressed his willingness to spend money to buy some oil.
When she heard that Huang Zhiqiu was willing to pay, the woman's attitude improved.
"How much oil do you want?"
"A little bit will do, about half a spoonful, just enough to moisten the lock cylinder."
"Fifty cents."
Huang Jianjun's eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard the price offered by the other party.
"Half a spoonful of oil costs 50 cents, don't you know you're trying to trick people!?"
The woman put her hands on her hips and said, "Do you want to buy it or not?" "Do you want it? If so, I'll call my baby and pour it for you."
Thinking that there was no other house nearby, Huang Zhiqiu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"want."
Perhaps because she felt she had made a profit, the woman finally showed a smile on her face, and her tone became brisk, "Okay, you guys will wait a moment."
Looking at the small half spoonful of bright yellow rapeseed oil in the half-broken bowl, Huang Jianjun muttered dissatisfied: "This is so evil. They charge us fifty cents for just a small amount of oil."
The market price of rapeseed oil is one yuan per catty, and fifty cents can buy half a catty of oil, but there is not even half a liang of oil in the bowl.
Huang Zhiqiu is also a little depressed, but he can't care about so much at the moment.
"I've already given you the money, so it's useless to talk about it. Let's open the door first and see what areas in the school need repairing. Then we can do a thorough summation when we go back."
After being persuaded by Huang Zhiqiu, Huang Jianjun also stopped complaining.
With the lubrication of oil, the lock was quickly opened. However, because there were too many weeds on the playground, the door was blocked and could not be pushed open. Huang Jianjun spent a lot of effort to push the door open.
There is just enough space for one person to pass through.
"I would have known better to bring a sickle and clear the grass at the door."
"The same goes for cleaning up next time."
Huang Zhiqiu looked at the school as he spoke.
There are overgrown weeds everywhere, as tall as an adult, and the view is basically blocked. Only the second floor and the roof can be seen.
It took a lot of effort for the three of them to walk from the playground to the classroom door.
There is an L-shaped corridor at the entrance of the classroom. The floor of the corridor is made of slate bricks. Although there are no weeds growing, due to the age, the ground is uneven and has cracks thicker than a finger in many places.
There are unknown weeds growing in the gaps.
Huang Zhiqiu pushed open the door of one of the classrooms.
