Chapter 369: As Soon as an Expert Makes a Move, He Will Know if There Is One
Huang Zhiqiu and the others waited in the reception room until about two o'clock in the afternoon, and then came back reeking of alcohol.
After listening to Officer He's report, Township Chief Lu's attitude towards Huang Zhiqiu suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"Oh, Sister Huang, I've kept you waiting for a long time, please sit down quickly. Xiao He, make a few cups of tea and come in."
"Okay, Chief Lu."
Mayor Lu handed the drafted contract to Huang Zhiqiu, "Sister Huang, take a look at this contract. If there is no problem, I will ask Officer He to print it out, and we will formally sign the contract?"
Huang Zhiqiu took the contract, read it word by word, and passed it to Lawyer Ma.
"Lawyer Ma, take a look."
"it is good."
Prior to this, Lawyer Ma had been silent. Mayor Lu thought that Lawyer Ma, like Huang Jianjun, was from the Huang family.
Hearing Huang Zhiqiu's address, his face changed slightly.
"Sister Huang, this is..."
In order not to disturb Lawyer Ma, Huang Zhiqiu deliberately lowered the volume, "Major Lu, my elder brother and I set up a factory for the first time. We have no experience, so we invited Lawyer Ma to help us check it out."
"Hehe, it turns out that's the case."
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.
Lawyer Ma pointed out several disputes or unclear responsibilities in the contract. Lawyer Ma threw out a series of legal provisions with sharp words, and the head of Lu Township had to take a pen to make amendments and changes.
After an hour of wrangling, the terms of the contract were finally agreed upon.
Huang Zhiqiu got the school and the land on the top of the mountain at the price negotiated before, plus the condition of helping the village to build roads for free.
The lease term is 20 years, the deposit is 5,000 yuan, and the rent for this year is 10,000 yuan in half a month after signing the contract.
Seeing the township chief Lu stamping the bright red township government seal on the contract with his own eyes, Huang Zhiqiu's hanging heart finally came to fruition.
After leaving the township government, Huang Zhiqiu immediately paid 50 yuan labor fee to lawyer Ma.
"Lawyer Ma, thank you so much today. I have delayed you for so long. Let's treat you to a light meal tonight."
Lawyer Ma collected the money, smiled and said, "You don't need to eat. This is my duty. However, you are right to invite me today. There are several places in the land lease contract written by the head of Lu Township. They are all extremely detrimental to you, if you sign directly, you will definitely suffer a lot in the future."
Hearing what Lawyer Ma said, Huang Zhiqiu and the others couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
"But don't worry, I've pointed out all the clauses that harm the interests of your party B. Now this land lease contract is beneficial to you."
After hearing this, Huang Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Lawyer Ma again.
After sending lawyer Ma to leave, Huang Zhiqiu took the key to the school gate given by Director He, and went to the school excitedly.
After a long period of exposure to the sun and rain, the surface of the lock head was stained with rust, and the lock cylinder was probably stuck by the rust. The three of Huang Zhiqiu tried hard but failed to open the lock.
In this case, oil must be poured into the lock cylinder for lubrication.
Fortunately, there are two farm houses not far from the school, Huang Qingning suggested to borrow some oil.
An old woman lived in the first farm house. When she heard that they wanted to borrow oil, she drove them away with a cold face without saying a word.
"No, no, my family doesn't eat oil, so go elsewhere!"
The three of Huang Zhiqiu had no choice but to turn around and go to the second house.
While walking, Huang Qingning looked back at the old woman standing at the door staring at the three of them, and muttered in a low voice: "This old woman is so stingy, she won't even ask for help."
"The elderly are used to suffering and are relatively frugal. Let's go to the front and ask."
The second house looks to be in better condition, a brick house with red tiles, surrounded by a 2-meter-high fence.
It was a young man who opened the door. Thinking that young people should be more talkative, Huang Qingning took the initiative to explain the purpose of borrowing oil.
"Just a little bit, and we'll lubricate the lock cylinder."
The young man looked at the three of them for a long time, but neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he turned his head and called "Mom" at home.
After a while, a woman about Huang Zhiqiu's age came out from inside.
"What are you doing?"
Huang Zhiqiu politely repeated his request to borrow oil.
After listening, the woman said nothing directly, and then closed the door with a bang.
Huang Zhiqiu and the three looked at each other.
Although the countryside in this era is not very rich, it is not too difficult to borrow half a spoonful of oil, and most people will borrow it.
"Could it be that we are foreigners, that's why we refuse to borrow?"
"It's possible."
Since you can't borrow it, spend money to buy it.
Huang Zhiqiu knocked on the other party's door again, and expressed his willingness to spend money to buy some oil.
Hearing that Huang Zhiqiu was willing to pay, the woman's attitude improved a bit.
"How much oil do you want?"
"A little bit is enough, about half a spoonful, enough to moisten the lock cylinder."
"Fifty cents."
Hearing the price offered by the other party, Huang Jianjun's eyes almost popped out.
"Half a spoonful of oil costs 50 cents, you don't know if you're cheating!?"
The woman put her hips on her hips, with a posture of "do you want to buy it or not", "Do you want it? If you want it, I will ask my baby to pour it for you."
Thinking that there were no other people nearby, Huang Zhiqiu could only nod in agreement.
"want."
Maybe because she felt that she had made a profit, the woman finally showed a smile on her face, and her tone became brisk, "Okay, wait a minute."
Seeing the small half spoonful of bright yellow rapeseed oil in half a broken bowl, Huang Jianjun muttered dissatisfiedly: "This is too black-hearted. You actually charge us 50 cents for just such a little oil."
The market price of rapeseed oil is one yuan per catty, and fifty cents can make half a catty of oil, but there is not even half a catty of oil in the bowl.
Huang Zhiqiu was also a little depressed, but he couldn't care less about it right now.
"I've given you all the money. It's useless to say these things. First, open the door to see what needs to be repaired in the school, and then go back and make a total calculation."
After being persuaded by Huang Zhiqiu, Huang Jianjun also stopped complaining.
With oil lubrication, the lock was opened quickly, but because there were too many weeds on the playground, the gate was blocked and could not be pushed open. Huang Jianjun barely pushed the gate open after a lot of effort. Just enough for one person to pass through the gap.
"I knew I would bring a sickle to clear the grass at the door."
"It's the same next time I come to clean up."
Huang Zhiqiu looked at the school while talking.
Weeds are overgrown everywhere, as tall as an adult, and the view is basically blocked, only the second floor and the roof can be seen.
It took a lot of effort for the three of them to walk from the playground to the door of the classroom.
There is an L-shaped corridor at the entrance of the classroom. The floor of the corridor is made of slate bricks. Although no weeds have grown, due to the age, the ground is uneven, and many places are cracked and thicker than fingers. In the gaps, there are unknown weeds growing in the gaps.
Huang Zhiqiu pushed open the door of one of the classrooms.
