Chapter 202 What is the secondary market? A place that has changed
After seeing Yan Zeyu off, Zhang Wanwan also said a simple farewell to the memories of her youth. From then on, she no longer had to think about the past and could look forward without any burden.
The next morning, Zhang's father was ready to go out when Zhang Wanwan got up. His urgency was really speechless. She didn't understand why Zhang's father was in such a hurry to go out, until she saw Zhang's mother looking like she was about to put the pole around Zhang's father's neck, she finally understood.
Not daring to procrastinate any longer, he and Zhang's father almost fled.
After getting in the Audi, Zhang Wanwan still looked frightened. "Oh my god, Dad, my mom is too much. If I had known, I wouldn't have told her yesterday. If I suddenly can't go today because of something, will she kill me?"
Father Zhang shook his head, turned the key, drove the car on the road, and then said coldly: "After so many years, you know what your mother's temper is like. Forget it, we have to go anyway, it doesn't matter if we go early or late, maybe we can come back earlier if we leave early."
Zhang Wanwan yawned in frustration and was about to meet with Zhou Gong again, but Zhang's father asked, "Girl, why did Xiaoyu who came to our stall yesterday become like this? Did he experience some kind of suffering in the world?"
“Ahem.” Zhang Wanwan widened her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief. “Dad, you’re so humorous!”
Father Zhang twisted his body proudly and replied confidently, "I'm telling the truth. Look, when we first met, the boy was so sunny! He exuded the breath of youth. Now look at him. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was that melancholy young man. With that hair and beard, he doesn't look like a boy in his early twenties. He looks more like an artist in his thirties. Look, the man who runs a studio downstairs from our house looks like this!"
Zhang Wanwan held her forehead with a headache, and she was totally helpless with her father. "Dad! The man who runs the art studio downstairs is an old man in his sixties! Come on, let's not talk about Yan Zeyu. Have you thought about what to tell your uncle when you see him later?"
"What else is there to say?" Zhang's father looked puzzled.
Zhang Wanwan sighed again, "You have to know that Uncle is aware of our business of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. You asked him to help with the raw materials before. Because it was just a small matter, Uncle didn't have any other ideas. Now that you want to run this business, you naturally have to think clearly about how to settle accounts with Uncle. For example, how much should you pay Uncle for the goods? You have to know that the price of raw materials is not fixed and it may go up or down. Have you thought about how to set the price with Uncle?"
Zhang's father was overwhelmed. "Girl, to be honest, I haven't thought about it that much. I just wanted to ask relatives for help. So what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Wanwan sighed again and was silent for a long time before she said helplessly, "How about this, when we go to my uncle's place later, Dad will tell them that we will buy it from them according to the secondary market price."
"What is the secondary market?" Father Zhang spoke with full energy, adhering to the principle of asking questions without being embarrassed.
Zhang Wanwan could only explain: "The primary market is the source merchants who sell things to my uncle, the secondary market is the transit merchants that my uncle sells wholesale to, and the tertiary market is the retail vendors. Dried seafood generally needs to be transferred several times before it can be sold on the market, especially in cities that are not rich in seafood. Generally, it is sold to the third or fourth level market, so the price will be very high.
Because of price fluctuations, we can't agree on the purchase price with my uncle. The best way is to calculate it according to the secondary market price. I believe that my uncle will not cheat us. When he makes money from us, we will let him open a seafood dry goods store, specializing in wholesale. Gradually, their lives will get better and better, and they don't have to rely on us all the time. Isn't this good?"
Zhang Wanwan has always been willing to help her relatives whenever she can, but she doesn't like being dependent all the time, so this method is the best, and she doesn't have to get entangled in it. Even the best relatives will become entangled in conflicts of interest over time.
After her explanation, Zhang's father finally understood and grinned, "Girl, you are smart. If I were to ask Dad to think about it, I really wouldn't be able to think of it. I'll do as you say!"
Because Li Yongfu and his wife had to go to the market to buy things in the morning and had no time to entertain them, the father and daughter went to Xiqiao Village first after arriving in Qingpu.
This was the first time Zhang Wanwan came here after the construction. When she saw the completely changed wilderness, her mouth opened wide.
After getting out of the car, he looked around, as if trying to find some familiar traces.
Father Zhang said proudly, "How is it? Your second uncle and second aunt are still very dedicated to building a house for you. The facade of the villa is ready. The steel frames were just dismantled a few days ago. Now they are busy inside. I heard that the floor tiles on the third floor are almost laid. It is estimated that all the floor tiles will be laid in ten days. The next step is the stairs. The material of the stairs is preferably raw marble. Dad has selected a crystal jade imported from Myanmar for you according to your preferences. It has beautiful texture. You can go and have a look."
Under the guidance of her father, Zhang Wanwan looked at the materials piled up in the open space outside. The original design only said that the stairs should be paved with light-colored marble, and there were no other requirements. Zhang Wanwan didn't understand these things, so she left it all to her father. Now it seems that her father still understands her very well.
Zhang Wanwan smiled like a child, very satisfied, "Dad, your taste is getting better and better!"
The father and daughter flattered each other before stepping into the villa. The place where they entered was a typical villa design. There was an empty space in the ceiling of the first floor. When they looked up, they could see the ceiling of the second floor. A crystal chandelier would be installed here in the future. Now it was empty and there was nothing. There was only cement on the ground. There was no beauty at all. It would be better to stand outside.
Zhang Wanwan followed her father carefully up to the fourth floor. From the first floor to the fourth floor, she saw at least eight workers.
Li Yongshou and Chen Yuelan were busy laying bricks. When they saw them coming, they quickly stood up to greet them.
"Wanwan! You're finally here. How is it? Are you satisfied with the house that your second uncle bought for you?" Li Yongshou asked with a smile. If you look closely, you can detect a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Zhang Wanwan nodded heavily and gave Li Yongshou a big, bright smile, "Very beautiful!"
Li Yongshou heaved a sigh of relief and took them to see the rooms where floor tiles had been laid. He said, "Because the third and fourth floors are Chinese style, the floor tiles are different from those on the first and second floors, so laying them is more complicated and may take a little longer. The first and second floors are relatively simple, and we can finish them in three or four days."
