Chapter Twenty-Nine: I feel like I have one more to learn
Looking at Mu Zhong's dejected appearance, Elder Ming shook his head, "The vertical is too much, after all, it is also my mountain gate." ”
Hey, hey, hey. Realizing that he was too performant, Lu Zhe, who didn't look like a teenager, still tried to fool himself by scratching his head and smirking, and grossed while touching the door. But Elder Ming, who is old and treacherous, said that your set is a bit resistant to clothes.
"Shaft, retreat, come closer." For this treacherous boy, Elder Ming was also a little nervous, and scolded him.
"Zhe is here, may the elders be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan." Lu Zhe, who was exposed, had no embarrassment on his face at all, and his New Year's greetings poured towards Elder Ming.
"I asked you, what is this Wuzhuangguan Group? What is the role of a director? Elder Ming also heard the terms just now, and he generally understood the conditions proposed, but the concept of directors was still a little unclear about the group proposed by Lu Zhe.
And Mu Zhong on the side widened his eyes beside him, waiting for Lu Zhe's explanation.
"The so-called group, as the name suggests, is to concentrate manpower and material resources, unite to engage in production and commercial activities, just like we waited for the fire kang before, and Wuzhuangguan Group is the name of the group that the boy temporarily gave to the village, and the director is equivalent to one of the shareholders, and the three elders are highly respected and are the chairman of the board of ......directors."
Lu Zhe spent a while telling the two people in the room what the company, the group, the directors, the board of directors, etc., at first the two were a little careless, but slowly, the two of them looked more and more serious, especially Mu Zhong, his eyes lit up when he heard it.
"This Wuzhuang view comes from your "Journey to the West", the ancestor of the earth immortals, compared with the heavenly court that is high above, the idle clouds and wild cranes are like, but it is also appropriate. If it weren't for the Wuzhuang view in your story and the mountain gate like you and me, enshrine the words heaven and earth, a certain person really thought that the description in the story was what you saw in your dream. Elder Ming stroked his beard, obviously very satisfied with the use of "Earth Immortal" to describe the Mountain Gate and "Heavenly Court" to correspond to the current emperor.
"Sect Master Lu, isn't there anything to the company and group system that the sect master said just now?" As a successful businessman, Mu Zhong was very interested in this modern business organization system in later generations, but after listening to the scales and half claws, he suddenly felt extraordinary.
"This is very complicated to say, but in order to ensure the smooth development of the cooperation between our group and Mu's Commercial Bank and create great prospects, Zhe has a distributor and agency system here, and it is convenient for Brother Mu to discuss and discuss when he has time."
"When it happens tomorrow, Zhong will listen to the sect master's high opinions." Mu Zhong nodded, he also understood that the so-called "free" should mean that after he signed the deed of this transaction tomorrow, the young man in front of him, who was like an old fox in the mountains, would tell him what kind of distribution and agency system he had.
"That being the case, that kid will retire first, and tomorrow, Zhe and Brother Mu will reunite again." Lu Zhe saluted the two and walked out backwards.
"Good."
"In that case, Na Zhong also retired." Mu Zhong also stood up and said goodbye to Elder Ming.
As a result, a negotiation that was enough to change the eating habits of the entire Datang people ended quietly.
From beginning to end, neither Mu Zhong nor Elder Ming asked why Lu Zhe wanted to cooperate with the Mu Family Commercial Bank in the name of the Wuzhuang Guan Group instead of the name of the Hundred Flowers Sect and distribute the profits to the village.
The three of them are all smart people, so they don't play that set of pretense of wit. Everyone understands that Lu Zhe, a half-grown teenager from a broken sect, cannot go to the negotiation table of the Mu clan, and has exclusive interests, which does not conform to the rules of this clan-like mountain gate aggregation village, so Lu Zhe thought about the whole village together at the beginning and become a community of interests, when Elder Ming and Mu Zhong heard that Lu Zhe wanted 10 ploughing cows, they also understood what Lu Zhe meant, so they did not speak out about Lu Zhe's pulling up the tiger skin to make a big banner, but acquiesced to the statement of Wuzhuangguan Group.
The cooperation was preliminarily negotiated, but Lu Zhe made a mistake in drawing up the contract, not because of anything else, but because he couldn't write many words.
This was embarrassing, Lu Zhe looked at the pile of rice paper and borrowed pen and ink from Elder Ming, and was a little embarrassed. I don't know both traditional Chinese and calligraphy, so what should I do? I can't let Elder Ming help me draft the deed. Except for a few elders, there are very few literate people in the village, so what should I do?
Do you want to find him? Lu Zhe remembered an extremely suitable person in his heart, that is, Mu Zhong, as the chief steward of the commercial bank, this person can't read the account book and can't write, it is definitely not good, anyway, he wants to sign a contract with him and draft the contract together, he should ...... It's not too much, after all, I'm also Party A. Although this Party A is a bit weak, but it is also Party A, as Party B, they should have the feeling that Party A abuses me thousands of times, and I treat Party A like my first love.
So, Lu Zhe took a pen and paper and walked outside the house.
Mu Zhong temporarily lived in the house of Shadow Crane, who had been in charge of the foreign trade of the mountain village for a long time, that is, the home of the Shadow Family's little Lori called Shadow Pheasant, although he didn't understand why his family's name was animal, Lu Zhe still came to the Shadow House with ease.
At this time, Mu Zhongzheng was amazed at the tables, chairs and fire kang in the room, and was even more surprised when he learned that this was invented by Lu Zhe, a disciple of the Immortal Family.
When the Ying family and Mu Zhong saw Lu Zhe coming, they naturally greeted each other. Lu Zhe quickly explained his intention to Mu Zhong. Mu Zhong smiled slightly. "What's so difficult about this, the sect master dictates it, and Zhong writes it down."
"Then I'll say it." Lu Zhe dictated. As soon as he said a few words, he stopped and gave Mu Zhong time to start writing.
"It doesn't matter, the sect master only has to dictate, Zhong has nothing else to do, only a little bit of subtle skills that can be boasted in front of people, which is the ability to never forget." Mu Zhong flicked his long sleeves and looked like a master.
"Okay then, are you sure?" Even if it is the simplest contract, there are seven or eight pages of A4 paper content, and I have to say it while thinking about it, Lu Zhe is very worried about whether the other party can remember so much.
"It's okay, it's okay, the sect master dictates it."
"Okay, then I'll continue, both parties A and B are based on the principle of mutual benefit and common development, after ......" Lu Zhe honestly began to dictate.
It was okay at first, but as Lu Zhe dictated more and more content later, Mu Zhong's face became more and more solemn, and Lu Zhe, who was bent on recalling the content of the contract in later generations, did not notice it, and when he finally finished dictating, he found that Mu Zhong's face was already iron-blue.
"Why is the sect master insulting me so much?" Mu Zhong stood up with a high-pitched voice.
“???” With Mu Zhong's angry reprimand, Lu Zhe was also confused, isn't this what you and I just discussed? Why, I didn't recognize it as soon as I went out?
"Why did Brother Mu say this? Zhe'an dares to insult Brother Mu? ”
"I can't afford to be the sect master, Brother Mu, what I said is this clause, does the sect master want to humiliate my Mu family's firm?"
"Humiliation? Isn't this a clause that you and I have just negotiated? "Lu Zhe is very puzzled, it's just a contract, how did it rise to the level of insulting you? It is not some XX treaty that humiliates the country.
"The deed of a certain sect master has detailed rules in various breach of contract, which can be said to be extremely detailed, can it be that the sect master can't trust my Mu clan so much?" Seeing that Lu Zhe's bewildered look didn't seem to be fake, Mu Zhong explained angrily.
"Huh? Isn't it good to have a detailed deed? Brother Mu, please recall carefully, these 28 to 32 are to restrain us and the other Wuzhuang view, and to achieve the prevention of various situations, in order to ensure the common interests of both you and me to the greatest extent in the event of a possible situation. ”
"Indeed, the deed of the sect master is the most detailed deed that a certain has ever seen, and the terms in it also prevent people's calculations to the extreme, but people do not stand without trust, and the Mu family wants to cooperate in Wuzhuang Guan, so they will keep their promises, if the Mu family makes a mistake, the loss during the period, the Mu family is willing to bear it, and it will never hurt your interests." Mu Zhong said angrily, and after finishing speaking, he was still puzzled and continued to speak.
"This deed, I won't sign it, and I won't sign such a deed in the future, if the sect master insists on using it, the Mu clan will no longer cooperate with the sect master!"
"And there is a word, willing to dedicate to the suzerain, this kind of deed, a certain persuasion of the suzerain, don't take it out again in the future, no businessman will sign such a deed, if everyone does not believe in faith, its behavior is based on strict provisions rather than relying on faith to restrict, then what kind of system, the suzerain's wisdom is extraordinary, to come up with such a detailed deed, it is indeed to ensure the best interests of both of us, if it is circulated, if everyone follows suit, people's hearts will be broken, if some traitors use this to trap loyalty, people's hearts will be broken. In this world, I am afraid that I don't know what I will become. ”
Mu Zhong's voice was full of pain, and Lu Zhe's gaze also changed to the righteous gaze of a scheming little traitor who confuses people's hearts.
Oh, I see. Lu Zhe now understood a little, this contract, in his opinion, has no problems and is even a little simple, but for the ancients, such a detailed contract is unimaginable, and his own terms to protect the interests of both parties, for the ancients, do not believe their insults.
In fact, if you think about it, the ancients attached great importance to faithfulness, the so-called daughters and promises, not to mention those chivalrous literati who left their names in history, were peddlers and pawns, even if they were the lowest businessmen in Shinong industry and commerce, they were extremely important.
There were two people in the Tang Dynasty who made an appointment to help each other get rich, but one person worked as a housekeeper for another person for ten years, and tried his best to help him, and finally, this person became a huge rich, but after this person became extremely rich, he did not turn his face and deny people, but immediately fulfilled his promise, abandoned his mansion and concubine, and worked as a housekeeper for each other for eight years, and also made full use of his own resources, until the other person also had a wealth no less than his before going home.
The ancients attached great importance to faith and righteousness to this point, which is difficult for modern people to imagine. Lu Zhe was also greatly shocked, and he stayed for a long time in the modern society where he was drunk with money and deceit, and everyone was not afraid to speculate about the people around him with the greatest malice, and did everything for money and power.
Modern people are accustomed to deception and betrayal, tofu scum projects, black-hearted food and even all kinds of malicious fraud are not uncommon, and even many people still express admiration and admiration for people who have obtained a large amount of wealth through improper means, in the era of laughing at poverty and not prostitution in later generations, in some respects, it is difficult to say that the advanced society we claim to be really progressive, and the ancients who have been criticized and ridiculed by us are really backward.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhe's face turned red, he quickly left the table and stood up, and made a big salute to Mu Zhong: "Zhe is young and ignorant, he thinks the world is evil, and he is a villain in vain, thanks to Brother Mu's reminder, Zhe thanked Brother Mu for his advice." ”
This ceremony, Lu Zhe did it sincerely.
Mu Zhong has been in business for a long time, so he naturally saw Lu Zhe's stunned and regretful, so he sighed: "Sect Master Lu is full of talent and thaumaturgy, but he is lonely at a young age, and his life is miserable, and he is more vigilant about the world, so Zhong can understand it." Just now Sect Master Lu's deed, to be honest, when Mu Mou just heard it, his heart was also moved, and he felt that there was nothing more perfect than this deed in the world, but Zhong couldn't wait to forget it now, the method and source of this bad people's heart trick must not be caused by us. Anyway, since the sect master knows the intention of a certain family, and now the transaction promised by a certain family to Elder Ming is still valid, this deed should be established by a certain family. Sect Master, would you like to believe in Zhong? ”
"Zhezi believes in Brother Mu." Lu Zhe made a gesture, his eyes were firm.
"Good!" Mu Zhong laughed, raised his hand and wrote the deed on the blank rice paper.
The deed is very simple, that is, it shows that on a certain day, a certain month, Wuzhuangguan Group and Mu's firm met to sell the secret technique of salt purification to Mu's firm, and Mu's shipped a number of goods, and 40% of the profits of salt in the first three years went to Wuzhuangguan Group......
Soon, the deed was written.
"Give!" Mu Zhong copied another copy of the deed and handed it to Lu Zhe. "Mu's promise is still valid, if anything goes wrong during the period, Mu's will definitely guarantee the dividends of Wuzhuangguan, a lot." Mu Zhong's tone was very indifferent, as if he was talking about a very ordinary trivial matter.
"Zhe has something to say, I want to say it to Brother Mu." Looking at a deed that did not have any protection for the rights of the Mu family's firm, and there were some things about the ancients, Lu Zhe felt that he might have to learn one.
