It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.

You should fight for your own dreams.

This was what Zhang Fei meant when he initially arranged for legal aid for Xu Zhiqian in the law firm.

After all, many of their concepts are different.

We can help each other, but we can't force each other, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Although their relationship is different now than before, neither Zhang Fei nor Xu Zhiqian thinks that there should be any change on this point.

However, Zhang Fei's ideas have changed slightly.

He found that in this society, we can no longer blindly follow the principle of procedural justice, but must first think about substantive justice.

If procedural justice is a scale, in the past era, the weights on both ends of the scale were not exactly the same, but at least they were almost the same. Even if you go to Nanshan, you have to produce concrete evidence and you can't make it up out of thin air.

But in this era, procedural justice is inherently biased.

...

...

Moreover, it must lean towards the strong.

To achieve procedural justice, we must first make the two ends of the scale equal, and the way to do that is to add weights, and litigation is the weight.

Simply put, if Zhang Fei continues to pursue procedural justice, the result will be further destruction of procedural justice, tilting the balance further, and further destroying the entire industry.

If he pursues substantive justice, he is actually building procedural justice and building this industry.

Force those powerful people to produce evidence and fight lawsuits, and stop acting recklessly.

Zhang Fei went from being a person enjoying the shade to a person planting trees.

But there is a problem here: planting trees costs money.

Where does this money come from.

When you pursue substantive justice, you will definitely not make much money. Of course, if you follow the routine of procedural justice, you will not make much money either.

The reason is simple: the weak will gradually give up the dispute.

Must lose.

What's the fun in that?

This income is a problem.

Without money, it’s difficult to survive.

Genuine printing house.

"Here comes Saburo!"

"Hello, host!"

When the craftsmen in the printing house saw Zhang Fei coming, they all stood up and saluted. Regardless of whether it was the first time they met, they were all respectful.

Although they were printers, they knew everything about the lawsuit. Nowadays, when you go to teahouses, you can hear people talking about the lawsuit.

Even the magistrate of Kaifeng County was deposed by our boss. The admiration for Zhang Fei is like a surging river.

Not only that, they also feel more at ease and are no longer afraid of being bullied.

At the same time, more craftsmen joined the official printing workshop.

Hou Donglai, who was accompanying him, immediately took credit for it, saying, "Sanlang, our printing house has now hired more than 30 craftsmen, plus some apprentices, so we have more than 50 people. Although we haven't made any money yet, we are already the number one printing house in Tokyo."

All along, Zhang Fei has been urging him to recruit workers.

Isn't the first thing to look at the profit? Zhang Fei swallowed his saliva and asked, "What about the monthly expenditure?"

Hou Donglai said, "That will cost at least a few hundred strings of cash. And, look, when will we rent the courtyard next door? This place is no longer enough."

Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Don't just talk about this, you have to tell me, when can we make a profit?"

Hou Donglai was stunned for a moment. "It will probably take another two or three months before we can start printing. It will take at least half a year before we can really make a profit."

Zhang Fei sighed: "Does it take so long?"

Hou Donglai said, "This is not your order. We want to print the most exquisite books. Each word must be carefully carved. This will take a long time. And the movable type. Although the technology is almost ready, we still need to carve a lot of movable type, which also takes time."

“That’s true!”

Zhang Fei nodded.

If you make a mistake in one step, all steps will be wrong!

He originally thought that he could make endless money by making a name for himself and calculating taxes, but after so many twists and turns, he has lost a lot of money.

And this genuine printing shop was originally bought to make money.

As a result, I invested a thousand strings of cash, but not a single bubble appeared. It will take another half a year. How can I keep going like this?

Zhang Fei sighed inwardly, it was a pity that neither of these two businesses could attract investment, otherwise it would be much easier.

The fundamental purpose of setting up this printing workshop was to compete for the right to public opinion. If he allowed people to invest in it, he would be constrained. After all, people invest to make money, not to cause trouble and offend the literati.

Bian Jing Law Firm also faces the same problem. If someone else comes to invest, Wei Yushan’s lawsuit may not be able to be fought. Maybe the investor is Wei Yushan.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei seemed to think of something and asked, "Oh, right! The contract you sent to my office last time was very good. Have you calculated the cost?"

Hou Donglai was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "I've only estimated it, but I haven't calculated it specifically, but it should be about the same."

Zhang Fei asked, "How much is that?"

Hou Donglai said: "It depends on how many copies are printed. The more copies, the lower the cost. If it reaches 3,000 copies, the cost can be reduced to two cents. If it exceeds 5,000 copies, the cost can be reduced to one cent. If movable type printing is used at that time, it may not even cost one cent."

Zhang Fei was surprised and asked, "So little?"

Hou Donglai nodded and said, "This contract doesn't have many words, unlike those books, so of course the cost is very low."

Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully.

He had considered doing business in printed contracts before, and now all the contracts of the Bian Jing Law Firm were purchased from here. But later, he forgot about it because of the tax calculation issue. After all, it was not a big business.

Nowadays, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat!

The next day!

Bian Jing Law Firm.

"Why did you invite us here today?" Ma Tianhao was as straightforward as ever.

Chen Maoqian and Fan Yong next to him looked at Zhang Fei very cautiously, even with a hint of fear.

Zhang Fei glanced at Chen Maoqian and said, "Is Mr. Chen's business not doing well recently?"

Chen Maoqian got angry when he heard this, and said in a tone that he dared not speak out, "Thanks to you, I almost died."

Due to the Geng Ming case, the imperial court conducted a comprehensive and thorough investigation of the white deeds, among which the guarantors were the key targets for rectification.

Most of the white deeds are caused by brokers.

As a result, their teeth were trembling with fear.

And all this is thanks to Zhang Fei. Chen Maoqian hasn't been here for a long time and is very resentful. I am your big client, and you actually come to mess with me?

This is still a bullshit cooperation!

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It will be soon."

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Maoqian suddenly panicked.

Zhang Fei said, "Recently, many people have come to me to sue you, Fangya."

Chen Maoqian immediately became anxious and stood up: "Zhang San, I am a big customer of your store. I think I have been good to you. You can't be ungrateful and sue me."

This guy is becoming more and more terrifying. If you get sued by him, you will be skinned alive even if you don’t die!

How could Chen Maoqian not be afraid?

Even Ma Tianhao and Fan Yong were worried. Who could be innocent in this situation?

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Don't worry, how could I possibly sue you? I still have some professional ethics. I will only help you. Sit down, sit down, sit down!"

Chen Maoqian still felt a little guilty and asked, "You really won't sue?"

"As long as you maintain the cooperative relationship with our store, no matter how I sue you, wouldn't that be equivalent to breach of contract?" Zhang Fei said.

Chen Maoqian thought about it and realized that you are my legal advisor, and you are suing me.

Then you are violating the contract.

Then he sat down.

Zhang Fei added: "This is also the reason why I invited you here. Nowadays, there are more and more cases involving contract disputes, especially those involving land and houses, which are the key targets of supervision by the court. There must be no mistakes in the contract."

Ma Tianhao said, "Didn't I pay you to draft a contract for us?"

"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded, and then said: "But those scattered contracts were still drafted by you."

Chen Maoqian asked, "Those small contracts also come to you, can you handle them?"

For example, the lease contract in Chen Maoqian’s store was still written by themselves. After all, it had been used for so long and was relatively standardized. Only those involving larger amounts of money would come to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said: "I am very worried about this now."

Fan Yong asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Fei said, "I have taken a closer look at the contracts in your store. There are too many loopholes. The court is now paying close attention to this aspect, and key customers are also more cautious. As your legal advisor, I have to help you avoid risks in this regard."

Ma Tianhao nodded and said, "Your words sound pleasant to the ear."

"I have to."

Zhang Fei said: "The service of our Bian Jing Law Firm is not that you take the initiative to come to us, which may be too late, but if we find a problem, we will contact you as soon as possible."

Fan Yong asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"print!"

Zhang Fei said, "People always make mistakes when writing. With printing, as long as the printing plate is checked carefully, the chance of error is very small. I plan to provide this type of printed contract to all customers in our store. The method is just like a mortgage contract. When signing, you only need to fill in your name and amount."

Ma Tianhao nodded immediately

"That's a good idea. The mortgage contract has too many words and is really hard to write."

Although he complained, he benefited greatly from it. His mortgage contract became much more convenient after it was standardized.

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "Brother Hao is still a good judge of vision."

Seeing Zhang Fei's strange smile, Fan Yong felt something was wrong and asked, "Will this contract cost extra money?"

A contract with Zhang Fei is too expensive.

Only the mortgage contract and shareholder contract are worthy of this price.

"Won't!"

Zhang Fei said: "It is clearly written in our cooperation contract. We will provide you with this service."

Fan Yong nodded and thought, could it be my illusion?

But just as this idea came to mind, Zhang Fei said, "But printing costs money, you have to pay for it."

Ma Tianhao refused to do this, "We still have to pay for this!"

Zhang Fei immediately said, "Brother Hao, you have to be conscientious when doing business. I have to pay you back for printing thousands of copies of your mortgage contracts every year. After all, this is a Bianjing law firm, not a printing company!"

Fan Yong whispered, "Isn't the official printing workshop also yours?"

Zhang Fei said, "It's true that mine is, but the contracts that my Bian Jing Law Firm is using now are all purchased from legitimate printing workshops. You are all big businessmen, so this shouldn't be hard to understand, right?"

Chen Maoqian was the first to compromise. Now that the imperial court was rectifying the pharmacy, he was walking on thin ice. He asked, "How much?"

Zhang Fei said: "It varies from three to five or ten cents. It depends on the number of words and the amount of printing. If it is a special contract, it is better to write it by hand. But if it is a lease contract, it can be printed."

Ma Tianhao was amused, "Zhang San, are you short of money?"

Zhang Fei said with a guilty conscience: "Brother Hao, what do you mean by that?"

Ma Tianhao said, "You originally signed a contract for 500 guan, but now you are doing business for only 5 wen."

Alas. This is really too cheap. It's not easy to make money! Zhang Fei coughed and said, "It's different in nature. The money for drafting the contract is counted as the cost of our cooperation. The five cents is for the printing workshop.

. "

Chen Maoqian said, "Five cents a copy doesn't sound like much, but when added together it's not a small amount. I can't spend that much money even if I write it myself."

"You can't think like that."

Zhang Fei said: "You have to think about it. If you are fined by the court because of a problem with the contract, how much compensation will you have to pay? And there is also my contract design here, which can avoid many risks."

Fan Yong finally understood that this was robbery, and he sighed, "Brother Chen, don't say anything. We have to spend the money. If we don't spend it, he may not help us if something goes wrong."

Ma Tianhao also reacted and snorted, "You are even more ruthless than us in lending money."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Brother Hao, you are too modest. I am not as ruthless as you. I am a little more ruthless. If you really feel wronged and unhappy, why not let your peers print the contracts? It will be the same for everyone, so there will be no grievances, and your peers will not take advantage of you in terms of cost!"

Ma Tianhao asked, "How can we get them all to print the contracts?"

Zhang Fei said, "Please help spread the word. Buying a contract costs five coins. If you are sued once, you will get five hundred coins."

This is not a business.

This is fucking robbery.

But on second thought, it wouldn't be a good idea if he kept grabbing us and snatching things.

As the saying goes, happiness shared with others is worse than happiness alone.
