Chapter 95 Contract Trap
Lu Jiaxin was not idle either. She went to Gaodi Street with Gu Wenfeng for a walk, and then asked someone about the price of leather. After finding out the situation, the two of them went to the leather factory introduced by Manager He. The leather factory's business scope includes artificial leather and natural leather. The natural leather they have is sheepskin, cowhide, horsehide and pigskin.
Lu Jiaxin is going to make three grades of leather shoes, namely artificial leather, cowhide and sheepskin. This factory has sufficient supply of artificial leather, but sheepskin, cowhide and horsehide are not in large quantities, so orders need to be placed in advance.
Lu Jiaxin had already calculated the amount of leather she needed, but she was looking for a shoe processing factory, and the materials could be sent in batches, so she didn't need to buy them all at once.
After asking about the prices of these leathers, she found that the price quoted by the owner of the leather factory, Sun Weiliang, was slightly lower than the market price.
Lu Jiaxin was not satisfied with the price. She said, "Boss Sun, I will need a lot of leather later. If you can give me a preferential price, I will come to you to buy it."
After some bargaining, Lu Jiaxin finally offered a price that was 10% lower than the initial offer of Director Sun.
Lu Jiaxin said, "We didn't bring any money today. Boss Sun, let's go to the bank tomorrow. I will withdraw money for you after the contract is signed."
The security here is not good, so she would not carry a large amount of cash with her. Gu Wenfeng is very good at fighting. He can beat three or four adult men alone. But what if the other party comes with more than ten people? And he has to deal with the gangsters, so he can't take care of himself. What if he is held hostage or kidnapped... She cherishes her life and dares not take risks.
Sun Weiliang knew that she had a large sum of money deposited in CCB, so naturally he would not have any objections.
After they left the factory, Gu Wenfeng thought she was too impulsive: "Why did you set the price so early? Manager He promised us that he would get us a preferential price."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "No need. Director Sun's quotation is lower than the market price, and I lowered the price by 10%. If Manager He came forward, he would waste a favor and might not get the price."
Gu Wenfeng didn't know much about doing business, so he said, "I heard that many people would tamper with the contract. Let's find a lawyer and ask the lawyer to look at the contract before signing it tomorrow."
Lu Jiaxin looked at him in surprise: "Brother Gu, you know this?"
Gu Wenfeng Feng has heard many times about contracts involving traps: "Some unscrupulous businessmen deliberately make tricks in contracts. Many people are exploited because they don't understand, and finally lose a lot of money."
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "You are right. It is best to ask a lawyer to read the contract before signing. Let's go and ask later. If we can ask a lawyer to go to the bank with us tomorrow, it would be best. If we find one, it doesn't matter. With Director He as the middleman, Sun Weiliang should not cheat us. Otherwise, it will be a slap in Director He's face. If he wants to borrow money in the future, not only CCB but other banks will not lend money."
It's not that banks are of the same blood, but people with too narrow vision can't go far. Knowing that the loan may not be recovered and will become a bad debt, it is naturally impossible to lend.
Gu Wenfeng feels that he can't rely on Director He. After all, who knows what the relationship between the two is. Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others.
Lu Jiaxin didn't believe Director He, she believed in herself: "It's okay, I will review the contract carefully, if you are worried, I will help check it tomorrow."
Gu Wenfeng said helplessly: "I don't know how to do business, I can't find any problems with the contract. Jiaxin, I think it's not too late to wait for Lu Jiajie and others to come before signing the contract."
Lu Jiaxin didn't want to wait that long, and Lu Jiajie might not understand these things: "Fifth brother needs to apply for unpaid leave, and he needs to find a few people, plus the time spent on the road, it will take at least six or seven days. The goods may arrive in such a long time. Brother Gu, don't worry, I know it."
Gu Wenfeng was quite helpless. It's a good thing for a girl to have her own ideas, but sometimes it's also a headache.
The next day, Lu Jiaxin arrived at the bank at the agreed time, and Sun Weiliang arrived before them. After a few pleasantries, Lu Jiaxin got the contract.
After reading the contract, Lu Jiaxin pointed out several problems: "Director Sun, your contract only says cowhide and sheepskin, but it doesn't clearly say whether it is yellow cowhide or lambskin. Also, the contract doesn't say how much liquidated damages are to be paid for delayed delivery."
There are many kinds of cowhide, including yellow cowhide, buffalo and bull hide, and the prices vary greatly; the same is true for sheepskin, which is divided into many kinds and the prices also vary.
Manager He glanced at Sun Weiliang with displeasure. She was the one who introduced the person, and now she has no face for such a mistake.
Sun Weiliang threw the pot to the people below: "I will ask someone to change the contract now."
Lu Jiaxin said with an unhappy face: "Boss Sun, you have to read the contract carefully this time, and you can't make such low-level mistakes again."
She was not angry either. It is easy to be looked down upon by others because of your age, and Gu Wenfeng can be seen at a glance that he is not a businessman. Many businessmen want to make more money by exploiting loopholes, but such people can only cooperate in the short term, forget about the long term, and cannot be trusted.
Sun Weiliang said calmly that such a mistake would never happen again.
The contract was quickly revised and sent over. Lu Jiaxin took the new contract and read it more carefully. There was no trap this time. She signed and stamped the contract first, then opened the contract page sideways, wrote the word "Lu" on it and stamped it again. This was to prevent them from stealing the pages at the beginning of the contract. It was also Sun Weiliang's behavior that made Lu Jiaxin feel that this person was not good, so she became more cautious.
Manager He looked at Lu Jiaxin in surprise. Whose kid is this? He is not worse than those business veterans.
Sun Weiliang took the money and left.
Manager He was worried that Lu Jiaxin had some doubts, so he asked, "Have you decided on a shoe processing factory? I know a few with good reputations."
Lu Jiaxin did not vent her anger on Manager He. Although she helped out of interest, her subjective intention was still good: "Manager He, please write down this processing factory. We will go and see it tomorrow."
Manager He quickly wrote down the names and addresses of six shoe processing factories.
Lu Jiaxin accepted it, thanked him and left.
Gu Wenfeng frowned and said, "This guy surnamed Sun obviously has bad intentions. Why don't you change one and continue to sign a contract with him?"
According to him, if you find a loophole in the contract, you will not cooperate with that person.
Lu Jiaxin said, "You can't guarantee that the one we find is definitely better than Sun Weiliang. After what happened just now, I believe that his batch of goods will not be tricky."
Knowing that she is an expert, he dare not fool her again. When the goods are received, Brother Wu and his friends must have arrived. With them inspecting the goods, there is no need to worry about receiving inferior or even fake goods.
Some people asked about the update time. This is not fixed, but there are three updates every day.
