Chapter 223 Liability for Breach of Contract

Su Ren personally came to Zhang Ji Grain Store, and the shopkeeper invited Old Man Zhang out. Facing the behind-the-scenes boss of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, who is also the captain of Chengdu, Old Man Zhang was not nervous, his face was still full of red light, and even with a smug smile.

"Captain Su came to the Humble House, and it was shining! Serve tea! ”

Su Ren smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and the faint fragrance of tea penetrated into his nostrils. It's really a good tea, as far as he knows, the ex-factory price of such a superb tea in Laojunguan is a thousand yuan and a tael, and it is even more outrageous when it comes to Chengdu. Because Su Ren understands very well what hunger marketing is, the more top-notch the tea, the less the annual supply will be.

"It's really good tea, and I may not be able to drink such tea every day at home!"

"Hahaha, Captain Su laughed, who doesn't know that the style of drinking tea in our Shu County comes from Captain Su, if you want to drink tea, I'm afraid no one can compare to Captain Su."

Su Ren smiled and put down the teacup: "Mr. Zhang, you should know what the so-called thing is here, don't hide it, Yelang and Qiang have had some problems one after another, and a lot of materials are needed to ensure our interests, so it is just like you asking for help, thanks to your help some time ago, but it is still a little close, and I just hope that Mr. Zhang can raise food for us again!" ”

Old man Zhang nodded: "Captain Su is bright and upright, and I admire the old man, my Zhang Ji is the largest grain and rice store in Chengdu, and it is natural to sell grain, but the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has bought a large amount of grain repeatedly, and my hands are also a little nervous." ”

"Don't worry, old gentleman, the price is not a problem, in order to rescue Yelang and Qiangdi, even if the family goes bankrupt, I will not hesitate!"

Old man Zhang waved his hand: "It's not a matter of money, it's that there is really not much food!" ”

"Hehe, we are all businessmen, Zhang Ji as the largest grain and rice store in Chengdu, I still know how much inventory, the old gentleman has sold us less than half so far, this time I hope to buy more, as for the price, I guarantee that it is higher than the previous time!"

"Higher? How much higher? ”

"Then it depends on what the old gentleman means, now the prices in our Chengdu have risen, especially the three categories of grain, rice, salt, and cloth, which are even more outrageous, and the old gentleman hoards so much food just for this day? Why did this day finally come, but the old gentleman didn't dare to sell it? ”

"Hehehehe, Captain Su is joking, the old man opens the door to do business, naturally there are as many as he sells! Captain Su is really, it seems that there is really a big difficulty, in this case, we are both businessmen, this time I agreed, as long as Captain Su can come up with twice the price, there will be as much food as you want! ”

"Double! You're robbing money! Hawking, who was beside Su Ren, suddenly spoke.

Old man Zhang smiled, picked up the teacup and drank tea, glanced at Hawking, smiled slightly, and did not speak.

Su Ren stopped Hawking's anger and said to Old Man Zhang with a smile: "Okay! Deal! ”

Old man Zhang was shocked, he didn't expect Su Ren to agree so happily, and at the same time complained in his heart that the price he said was a bit low. But the words have already been spoken, and if you want to change your words, you can't do it, you can only look at Su Ren and pout, feeling really uncomfortable.

Su Ren turned around, took a silk silk from Hawking's hand, and gently handed it to Old Man Zhang.

"What is this?"

Su Ren explained while unfolding: "This is a contract, a contract certified by the Taishou Mansion, which has already stated the relevant matters of our transaction, and all the provisions in the transaction such as price, the old gentleman can take a look at it first, this last one should be paid special attention to, if the old gentleman can't get the grain out at that time, he will compensate me." ”

Su Ren said as he pointed it out to Old Man Zhang. Old man Zhang had never seen anything like this, so he looked at it carefully. This contract is very clearly written, fifty yuan per stone of grain, the location of the transaction is in the Zhang Ji grain store, one hand to pay the money and the other hand to take the grain, and it is indicated that both parties to the transaction are voluntary, and there are also the big seal of the Taishou Mansion and the private seal of the Wen Party below.

The last one is also very clear, if Old Man Zhang breaches the contract, he will compensate Su Ren for ten times the loss. In other words, Su Ren asked for 10,000 stone of grain, and if Old Man Zhang couldn't get it, he should compensate Su Ren for 5 million yuan at the price of 50 yuan per stone.

After reading it, Old Man Zhang's eyes widened: "Captain Su, why is this?" Do you distrust the old decay? ”

Su Ren smiled: "Don't worry, old man, I am by no means deliberately embarrassed, it is also a measure of self-protection, everyone knows that the price of grain in Chengdu is rising too fast, I can't pull away this million stone grain, in case the price of grain rises by fifty yuan tomorrow, the old gentleman will not sell it, I will not be blind, so please be a guarantor." ”

"Humph!" Old man Zhang snorted coldly: "Although being a businessman is to make money, at least he still has a reputation, and he will never break his promise to Captain Su!" ”

Old man Zhang wanted to leave, but he was reluctant to have an income of one million stones of grain and grass and fifty million yuan, even if he was angry now, he still sat opposite Su Ren.

Su Ren continued: "This is just in case, if the old gentleman gives me food, this thing is worthless, this time I bought almost the sum of the previous times, the old gentleman should be considerate of my caution, if the old gentleman is unwilling, then I have to find someone else!" ”

"You!" Old man Zhang is still unwilling to give up this business, and the profits are too great. took a deep breath, and then changed to a smile on his face: "Why is Captain Su so impatient, come on, let's discuss it again." ”

Su Ren shook his head: "There is no need to discuss this matter, only the old gentleman can sign." ”

"Good! Hehe, can you let the old man see your so-called contract again? ”

"Absolutely!"

Su Ren handed the silk silk to Old Man Zhang, and Old Man Zhang looked down carefully one by one. He read every clause of the contract clearly and studied it word by word. Su Ren suddenly took out this thing, and Old Man Zhang's heart was not strange, it was impossible. But it would be a fool's dream for him to be able to see the problems in the contract. Old man Zhang studied it for a long time and felt that this contract was normal, and there were no unfavorable conditions for him.

After waiting for a long time, Old Man Zhang finally raised his head: "Who wrote this contract?" ”

"Mr. Sima Xiangru, the old gentleman thinks that what is written there is inappropriate, we can discuss it again."

Old man Zhang shook his head: "No wonder! Mr. Sima's resignation is unique in the world, I didn't expect that there is also a set in this business, okay, the old man signed! Bring pen and ink! ”

Soon someone brought pen and ink, and Old Man Zhang signed and drew it. Su Ren took out two more copies and continued to ask Old Man Zhang to sign: "This thing is in triplicate, one is left here for the old man, one is left for me, and one is left for the Taishou Mansion, so as not to have problems when you get it, none of us can tell, as long as the three copies are the same, this contract is genuine." ”

"Hmmm! Captain Su is thoughtful! Old man Zhang was finally relieved at this time, and he was at peace when he took a copy.

The two signed happily in person. One was left to Old Man Zhang, one was put into Su Ren's arms, and the remaining one was sent to Taishou Mansion by both parties.

Su Ren got up and arched his hand: "Old gentleman, even if our business is negotiated, we will say goodbye, and send someone to get grain and grass in three days, when the old gentleman is ready, don't dare to delay, if it makes trouble in the Taishou Mansion, this matter will be troublesome." ”

Old man Zhang smiled: "Captain Su rest assured, what the old man promised will definitely not go wrong." ”

Old man Zhang sent Su Ren out of the door for the first time, and walked back with a smile on his face, holding the contract in his hand. Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Su Renyuan's back, and wanted to step forward to say a few words to the owner, but after thinking about it, he shook his head first and swallowed the words back.

Three days passed quickly, and after three days of busyness, Zhang Ji Grain Store had already prepared one million stone of grain. The grain in the backyard was piled up, just waiting for Su Ren to come to get the grain, and then count the money. However, since the sun has not risen, until the sun sets, there is no one from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce. Old man Zhang was a little anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to ask. The person sent came back and said that Su Ren was very busy and promised to come tomorrow to get food.

Old man Zhang didn't care, went back to the house to rest, and just waited for tomorrow to come back. However, on the fourth day, the people from the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce still did not come. Old man Zhang sent someone to ask again, but he was still very busy with that sentence, waiting for tomorrow. After doing so several times, Old Man Zhang felt strange in his heart. If I don't get rid of it, it will be all over in the next rain.

Hurriedly came to Su Mansion, and there were a lot of people gathered at the door of Su Ren's house. At a glance, most of them are acquaintances, timber shops, cloth shops, and all the Chengdu shopkeepers who can be called are here.

As soon as Old Man Zhang's carriage stopped, Shopkeeper Liu of the cloth shop ran over and personally helped Old Man Zhang get out of the car: "Old man, are you here too?" ”

Old man Zhang glanced at the dense crowd: "This? What happened? ”

Shopkeeper Liu sighed: "This Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce sent someone to me to buy cloth, the price was very good, and what contract was signed, saying that the goods would be picked up after three days, but there was no one in sight, our goods were piled up in the store, and it was not a matter of winter, we had a lot of rain in Chengdu, and the next rain would be all over, come and ask, I didn't expect it to be the same." ”

"All the same?" Old man Zhang's heart chuckled: "Why doesn't this Captain Su see us?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu smiled helplessly: "People say they are very busy, let them stay in a few days!" ”

"Say that you will pick up the goods in three days, and if you don't come in three days, we can dispose of it casually according to the usual practice!"

"Old man!" Shopkeeper Liu grabbed the old man Zhang who was about to leave, and shook a silk silk in his hand: "But this contract is not written for three days?" Not to mention writing, if Su Ren doesn't come, how will he compensate us for our losses! For this reason, many people also went to the Taishou Yamen, and they only recognized the contract and did not recognize the words they said. ”

"Isn't this an intention to shield Su Ren?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head helplessly.

Old man Zhang's eyes widened, and he didn't say anything for a long time. The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the old man Zhang fell straight on the housekeeper, looked at the shopkeeper Liu, and said weakly: "We have been fooled!" ”
