Guo Dan did not spend any effort to speculate on Wanli's ideas. For him, he was only responsible for managing Wanli's money and helping Wanli make money. As long as Wanli supports him to do this, that would be fine. As for other aspects, he would not use his brain at all.

He, a businessman, went to talk about power, politics, and people's livelihood with a group of professional bureaucrats. This cannot be said to be a show of his skills. It is simply that his head is broken by the door panel.

He can only talk about politics from an economic perspective. In other words, he is good at making politics serve the economy. This is what he is good at, but he is not able to talk about economy from an political perspective because he has not reached that level.

Therefore, Guo Dan was still focused on negotiating with the court.

If Li Chengliang hadn't come, it would probably end earlier, but Li Chengliang came again. Li Chengliang's experience also brought many new terms.

The negotiators were very depressed.

After January negotiations, it was finally coming to an end.

The officials who negotiated with Guo Dan were already exhausted. For the past month, they have been talking every day, and many details were discussed back and forth, rather than talking about fishing for three days, drying the net for two days, and delaying for a month. They are used to being lazy and cannot adapt to Guo Dan's work rhythm at all.

The operation of the Ming Dynasty court is really urgent!

Dong Pavilion.

"Sir Qi, this is the result of the negotiation with Guo Dan. Please check it out."

An official handed Wang Jiaping a thick stack of information with both hands.

Wang Jiaping put down his pen, glanced at it, and smiled and said, "There are really a lot. Let me share it with you guys quickly."

The official looked at Wang Jiaping and said, "Sir, there is only one copy here."

"One?"

Wang Jiaping opened his eyes.

He originally thought that these officials had copied a few copies, but even so, he felt that there were too many copies, so he knew that there was only one copy.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others also stopped what they were doing and looked at the thick stack of paper in surprise. There must be at least more than a hundred pieces of paper!

The official said, "Yes, there is only one copy here, with a total of fifty major clauses, including 272 minor clauses. The Ministry of Works has just finished the review and sent it to all the adults."

Shen Shixing and the others couldn't help but look at each other.

This is definitely the longest contract they have ever seen in their lifetime.

Even there are not so many contracts between countries!

Isn’t it just ten thousand sets of cotton shells? As for how to torture people like this?

Shen Shixing suddenly laughed: "It seems that the ink in our stomachs is not as good as a businessman!"

He has never written such a long article.

Wang Jiaping nodded with a wry smile, and asked the official to give each person a little, but he couldn't finish it anyway.

Shen Shixing and the others couldn't wait to watch it, not because it was so urgent, but because it was just because of curiosity. In fact, this small matter would not require their cabinet to do its best.

As we looked at it, everyone was a little drowsy, too complicated and boring. The sentences were quite straightforward. At a glance, we could understand that no sentence was silly. Moreover, the lines were filled with the smell of money, and they could pay for it at any time. Anyway, it was the three sentences that were not separated from money.

This makes them feel a bit too *****. After all, Chinese culture is still relatively subtle when it comes to money. If you talk about money at any time, it will make people think that you are a snobbish person.

But if you want to find faults, you can't find anything. It looks very complicated, but each one is written on it, and it seems to have value. If you don't write it, they won't feel that something is missing, but if it is removed, it seems to be a bit inappropriate.

All in all, this contract made them feel very strange.

At the same time, Guo Dan also brought the drafted contract home to give Kou Shouxin and Kou Weisha a look.

"This...is this a contract?"

Kou Shouxin also looked at Guo Dan in shock. Are you sure this is not?

Guo Tan smiled and said, "My father-in-law, this paper is too small and the words are too big, so it looks a lot."

The paper is too small? The handwriting is too big? Did I think I have never signed a contract? Kou Shouxin glared at Guo Dan slightly: "Nonsense."

Guo Dan laughed loudly.

But in fact, he is really not nonsense. If he had changed to later fonts and paper, it would have been about twenty or thirty pages, and it would have been impossible to have more than one hundred pages.

Kou Weisha first gave Guo Dan a blank look, and then said to Kou Shouxin: "Dad, it's better to be cautious when we sign a contract with the court. If there is a problem, it's better to divide responsibilities. If it is not written so carefully, if there is a problem, we will definitely bear it."

"It's reasonable." Kou Shouxin nodded slightly.

Guo Dan said, "Mrs. This is a bad word. In the future, whether with the court or with others, they must write a contract in this specification."

Kou Weisha looked at Guo Dan in surprise, "This is a little too much. Even if we can be patient, the other party may not have the patience."

"This is not called too much, it is called norm. Just get used to it."

Guo Dan shook his head and continued: "Only by doing this can we ensure our rights and interests. The cooperation between us and Your Majesty cannot be made public. In other words, Your Majesty cannot protect us openly, but as long as we take the right, Your Majesty can come forward to protect our rights and interests.

This contract is our amulet, so in the new house, there will be a department that specializes in writing contracts and reviewing contracts.”

In fact, he not only wants to ensure his own rights, but also wants to re-establish industry standards.

In fact, the person who can set standards is the real boss. Whoever has no selfish intentions or sets standards is his own. To draw up a contract like this is of course beneficial to Guo Dan. On the contrary, it is very unfavorable to Guo Dan.

The contract is a little too simple. If there is a problem, it is difficult to explain clearly. Then it becomes bullying the small one. Even if you sue the government, the terms are unclear and the model is not clear, so the officials have the final say. No matter what he says, it makes sense. This is very unfavorable for businessmen.

If the contract can be standardized and everything is spoken by the contract, it will protect everyone's interests.

In Guo Dan's opinion, the game in business should be before the contract. Whether it is open or hidden, it is not an exaggeration. Everyone relies on their own abilities. The contract is the result of the game. Once the contract is signed, it will be executed later. Otherwise, it will become very chaotic and everyone will feel insecure.

......

Although Yashang is a shareholding system, according to the contract, Guo Dan has the right to make the decision. However, because this matter involves the court, Guo Dan still holds a shareholders' meeting before formally signing the contract.

"My nephew...there are too many contracts, what do you think?"

"What is it written on it? Can you write so much?"

"Is it stipulated by the court?"

......

Zhou Feng and the others held the contract, and they were all stupid and might have never read so many words in their lifetime.

"What I ask for is to ensure our interests."

Guo Dan explained to them again.

After hearing this, everyone thought it made sense. After all, the other party is the court, and it is impossible to get rid of the other party. The other party is holding a machete. You are cunning and cunning.

Cao Da said, "Nephew, of course we believe in you. We will take this contract back and look at it slowly. Let's tell us how much money can we make?"

“Yes, yes, how much money can this make for us?”

Everyone's eyes were flashing with greedy eyes.

Guo Tan said: "Can we earn a future for us!"

"A future?"

Cao Da said in surprise.

"good."

Guo Dan said: "This transaction can bring our Yashang to a higher level. The third last article in the contract is very clear that as long as our transaction is completed well, the court will contract more military supplies to us."

Zhou Feng said: "With that being said, it depends on how much money you can make. If you lose money, the more you contract, the more you lose."

Guo Dan said: "If we just talk about this transaction, we can't make much money, because we have nothing now, and we have to invest money to build workshops, recruit people, and offset each other. If we can guarantee that we won't lose money, it's actually making money.

However, once our workshops are running, the profit will increase. The key is that the transactions of the court have given us a very solid foundation. We can not only produce military supplies, but also produce civilians."

Everyone looked at each other, but they were still confused.

Guo Dan smiled and said, "To give a very simple example, let's talk about Qin Yuanwai's satin shop. Qin Yuanwai not only sells silk, but also sells some clothes, but their cost of making clothes is very high and very slow. This is mainly because he sells silk, and clothes are only secondary, so he will not recruit people to produce clothes on a large scale."

Qinzhuang nodded slightly and said, "Overy wealthy families buy silk and then find tailors to tailor them. Because my family has some tailors, they usually make some clothes for sale."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "But last time the Chinese Valentine's Day, the official was a little overwhelmed because the demand for couple outfits suddenly increased, and you couldn't recruit so many people to produce them at once, resulting in many customers who wanted to buy them, but they couldn't buy them."

Qin Zhuang sighed, "There is no way to do this."

"Once our workshop is established, this problem will not exist. What kind of clothing do you need to do? Tell us the workshop directly about the requirements, and our workshop will be able to produce it for you soon."

Guo Dan glanced at him and said, "Everyone, like Qin Yuanwai, this situation often occurs because demand and supply are not constant, but change. If every merchant has the entire production process, it is actually not cost-effective, because even if the demand is decreasing, they still need to pay the same salary to support those craftsmen, and our workshop will solve this problem well.

Because the business of the court gave us a huge scale foundation. With this foundation, I would not encounter problems like Qin Yuanwai."

Qin Zhuang said: "But if this happens, it's rare, and it's rare to encounter two or three times a year."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "A Qin Shiwai encounters two or three times a year, ten Qin Shiwai, only twenty or thirty times, and one hundred Qin Shiwai is two or three hundred times. If you can receive such a deal in a year, the profit will be quite large. The key is that we don't do it, and we won't lose money, because there is a court order that supports us later. On the other hand, if you do it, it will be pure profit."

Zhou Feng asked with a smile: "Nephew, are there a hundred Qin people?"

Guo Dan said: "Our workshops are all built in Tianjin Wei. Do you think we can only do business in Beijing? At the same time, who dares to build such a large-scale workshop like us. In addition, whether it is silk or cotton, it will be turned into clothes and bedding. If they are all in our workshop for production, how much profit will it be?"

Zhou Feng was stunned.

This cannot be calculated!

Qin Zhuang nodded and said, "I think my nephew's words are very reasonable. If there is such a workshop, I can really save a lot of trouble. Most of the silks come from Jiangnan. When I arrive in the capital, I have to find someone to do some cuts. If I can complete it through Tianjin, it will be much more convenient."

The rest nodded slightly when they heard this.

Even if you can monopolize the processing in the capital, you will make a lot of money. The key is that if you don’t do these transactions, they will have to raise so many craftsmen, and this expenditure will not become.

Everyone said they could give it a try.

After discussing this, Chen Ping suddenly said: "Nephew, the project about your new teeth shop is almost over. You can definitely complete it on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

“Does the first day of the Lunar New Year open?”

Everyone looked at Guo Dan in surprise.

Guo Dan nodded and smiled, "I have so much money for everyone, so I can't slack off for a moment. This year, our Tooth Store will not take annual leave and do things normally."

Zhou Feng smiled and said, "Nephew, we are really embarrassed to do this."

Having said that, they were all happy to see Guo Dan do this, and it would be better not to have a holiday every year.

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Don't be embarrassed, sorry it's me, I have to bother everyone here to come here on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

“…!”
