"I have no objection to anything else, but could you please explain this point, Engineer Zheng? What does it mean that a three-year term is a contract period? If a dispute arises that cannot be resolved during the term, both Party A and Party B have the right to terminate the cooperation transaction?" Yue Jin asked, pointing to a spot.
Zheng Quchi said, "This contract is only for three years and will only be valid for three years. If there are any conflicts in the cooperation after three years, I can choose to continue the contract or not renew it for another three years."
Chen Bai immediately widened his eyes and said indignantly, "Why? This is not fair!"
"Where is the fairness? This clause is not limited to me. You can also choose to continue or terminate it after three years. This is our first cooperation. No one knows what the future holds. But as the saying goes, harmony brings wealth. Cooperation also depends on fate. Even if we can't be friends in the end, at least we shouldn't become enemies, right?"
Zheng Quchi's concerns were not unreasonable. After listening to her explanation, the four of them thought about it more deeply and eventually accepted it.
Three years is enough time for both parties to see each other clearly. If the cooperation goes well, they can naturally renew the contract for another three years.
Chen Bai said, "You're right, I agree."
Yue Jin said, "Then let's look forward to our second three years."
"I'm confident. I feel like I hit it off with Engineer Zheng the moment we met, and it feels like we're old friends. It's very friendly. I'm sure I'll continue to work with Engineer Zheng for a long time. Not only will we work together, but I also hope we can become close friends in private," Mu Xixi said earnestly.
Muha also stated his position: "I greatly admire Engineer Zheng. I respect your abilities and I am willing to cooperate with you for a long time. No matter what the future holds, I hope we can be friends."
Zheng Quchi knew that businessmen valued profit over relationships, but not all of them were the same. Some of them were just saying polite words, while others were speaking from the heart. However, she had only known them for a short time and could not yet discern who would become her true business partner.
But there's no rush; time will tell, and she can just wait and see.
After confirming with them that everything was correct, Zheng Quchi made a copy in public, making two copies, and signed and stamped them on both. This matter was temporarily considered settled.
There are still other issues to be discussed, such as supply, transportation, demand and production volume, and pricing.
"When are you going back to Ye? Do you need our help?" Yue Jin asked with concern.
Zheng Quchi then said, "Thank you, but no need, I have a way."
Muha looked on with longing and envy and said, "That's right. You are now the best in the Jichun Craftsmen's Guild. The Gongshu family will definitely protect you. As long as you make a request to them, the Gongshu family said that they will agree to anything you ask."
But Zheng Quchi said, "I would not exchange such an important promise for this."
Chen Bai asked curiously, "What promise do you want the Gongshu family to fulfill? Otherwise, you can make a wish and ask the Gongshu family to ensure the smooth flow of our cargo ships. I know that the Gongshu family has a dedicated land and water route, as well as top-notch escorts and naval forces. With them around, we can reduce the troubles and accidents on the road."
Yue Jin also became interested and enthusiastically offered Zheng Quchi some ideas: "I think this is not enough. What do you think? If Engineer Zheng directly asked the craftsmen from the Gongshu family to work in our workshop, hahaha... that would definitely be a very sensational and interesting thing."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Gongshu family possibly agree to such a thing? Let's think of something more practical, like asking the Gongshu family to reveal the secrets of their most valuable equipment... well, although they probably wouldn't agree anyway."
Seeing that their conversation was getting increasingly absurd, Zheng Quchi said, "I will carefully consider this matter, you..."
Alright! Alright!
Someone is knocking on the door.
"Zheng Qing, are you there?"
It is Gongshu Jiruo.
She exchanged a glance with the other four people, signaling them to get ready, then stood up and replied, "I'm here."
"I have something I want to talk to you about. Is now a good time?"
"good."
"I'll be waiting for you in the bamboo forest."
"Okay, I'll pack up and head over."
After Gongshu Jiruo left, Zheng Quchi said to them, "Remember, do not tell anyone about what we talked about."
"Don't worry, we won't talk nonsense."
"right."
"Alright, I'll go to the bamboo forest first. You don't need to wait for me. I'll contact you as soon as I'm free."
"Then keep our token safe. Once you see our shop, just hand over the token, and someone will report to us, and we will go to Ye to see you."
The four of them gave Zheng Quchi a token, and they were very cunning in giving it to him secretly behind his back.
"Alright, it's a date. We'll meet in Ye Kingdom soon."
"Yes, it's a deal."
——
When Zheng Quchi arrived at the bamboo forest, Gongshu Jiru saw her and immediately asked, "Have you been in the room all day?"
Isn't that right?
From noon until now, around dusk.
"Uh, I talked to them about some things."
“It must be very enjoyable for you to forget to eat and sleep,” Gongshu Jiruo said.
"……good."
Let's go.
Where to?
Aren't you hungry yet?
Zheng Quchi patted his stomach: "I was too hungry, I'm not hungry anymore."
Even if you're not hungry, you should still fill your stomach.
He led her to a quaint bamboo house, where tea and several delicious dishes were already laid out.
"Please sit down."
Zheng Quchi took a look and paused for a moment: "Have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"No, I just heard as soon as I got back that you had been doing things in your room without any food or water, so I had these prepared."
