Chapter 95 Contract Trap



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 in short supply, so they need to be ordered in advance.

Lu Jiaxin had already calculated the amount of leather she would need, but she was looking for a shoe processing factory, so the materials could be delivered in batches, so she didn't need to buy all of it at once.

After asking about the prices of the leathers, she found out that the price quoted by the leather factory owner, 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 Director Sun's initial offer.

Lu Jiaxin said, "We didn't bring any money today. Boss Sun, let's go to the bank tomorrow. I'll withdraw the 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, and he can easily beat three or four adult men. But what if there are more than ten people? And he has to deal with the criminals, 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 deposited a large sum of money in CCB, so naturally he had no objection.

After they left the factory, Gu Wenfeng felt that she was too impulsive: "Why did you decide on 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 offer was lower than the market price, and I lowered it by 10%. If Director He came forward, it would not only be a waste of personal favor, but also might not get this price."

Gu Wenfeng didn't know much about doing business, so he said, "I heard that many people would cheat in contracts. Let's find a lawyer and have him look at the contract before we sign it tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxin looked at him in surprise: "Brother Gu, you also know this?"

Gu Wenfeng has heard of many cases of contracts being trapped: "Some unscrupulous businessmen deliberately fiddle with contracts, and many people are exploited because they don't understand, and end up losing a lot of money."

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "You are right. It is best to have a lawyer look over the contract before signing it. We will go and ask around later. If we can find a lawyer, it would be best to go to the bank with us tomorrow. If we can find one, that's fine too. With Director He as the middleman, Sun Weiliang should not cheat us. Otherwise, it would be a slap in Director He's face. If he wants to get a loan in the future, not only CCB but other banks will not lend him money."

It's not that banks are of the same ilk, but people with 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 felt that he could not rely on Director He, after all, who knew what the relationship between the two was. You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

Lu Jiaxin didn't believe in Director He, she believed in herself: "It's okay, I will review the contract carefully, if you are not sure, I will help you check it tomorrow."

Gu Wenfeng said helplessly, "I don't know how to do business, and I can't find out if there is a problem 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 this either: "Fifth Brother needs to apply for unpaid leave, and he needs to find a few people, plus the time spent on the journey, it will take at least six or seven days. The goods may have arrived in such a long time. Brother Gu, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Gu Wenfeng was quite helpless. It was a good thing for a girl to have her own opinions, but sometimes it could also be quite a headache.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin arrived at the bank at the agreed time, and Sun Weiliang arrived earlier than them. After a few pleasantries, Lu Jiaxin got the contract.

There are many kinds of cowhide, including yellow cowhide, buffalo hide and ox hide, and the prices vary greatly; the same goes for sheepskin, which has many kinds and different prices.

Manager He glanced at Sun Weiliang with a look of displeasure. She was the one who introduced him, and now that something went wrong, she was too embarrassed to admit it.

Sun Weiliang passed the blame to his subordinates: "I will ask someone to revise the contract now."

Lu Jiaxin said with an unhappy look on her face: "Boss Sun, you have to read the contract carefully this time. You can't make such low-level mistakes again."

She was not angry. His age made it easy for people to look down on him, and Gu Wenfeng was not a businessman. Many businessmen wanted to make more money by taking advantage of loopholes, but such people could only cooperate with him in the short term, not in the long term. They could not be trusted.

Sun Weiliang remained calm and said 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 child is this? She is no worse than those business veterans.

Sun Weiliang took the money and left.

Manager He was worried that Lu Jiaxin had some concerns, 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 self-interest, her subjective intention was still good: "Manager He, please write down this OEM factory and we will go take a look tomorrow."

Manager He quickly wrote down the names and addresses of six shoe processing factories.

Lu Jiaxin accepted it, thanked her and left.

Gu Wenfeng frowned and said, "This guy surnamed Sun obviously has bad intentions. Why don't you change companies 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 better than Sun Wei. After what happened just now, I believe that this batch of goods will not play tricks."

Knowing that she is an expert, I dare not fool her anymore. When the goods are received, the fifth brother and his friends will definitely arrive. 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. It is not fixed, but there are three updates every day.
