Chapter 17: Zhang Lin is a Good Man!
Chapter 17: Zhang Lin is a Good Man!
"Is that so? Not interested?" Zhang Lin chuckled, seeing Zhang Dong's surprised expression.
"Zhang Lin, these sweet peaches are sure to sell like hotcakes. I just didn't expect you to give me the opportunity to sell them!" How could Zhang Dong not be interested? At a wholesale price of 24 yuan per pound and a retail price of 30 yuan, the profit was 6 yuan per pound. For 500 pounds, that was a daily profit of 3,000 yuan.
However, Zhang Dong felt that Zhang Lin could easily sell them himself and didn't need to give him the job. It was almost like giving him free money.
Zhang Lin smiled and said, "If I can wholesale to Lin Tuo, why can't I wholesale to you? Besides, the quantity will only increase in the future, and the Youcheng market won't be enough to meet the demand. So, don't worry about other things. Just tell me if you want to do it. If you do, I'll wholesale the peaches to you tomorrow."
"I'll do it." Seeing Zhang Lin's determination, Zhang Dong didn't hesitate and quickly agreed.
"Great!" Zhang Lin nodded and then instructed, "However, this is still in the trial and confidential selling phase. Don't ask too many questions, and you must follow the set price. Also, prepare the wholesale payment. I'll deliver 500 pounds of peaches tomorrow and we'll sign the contract then."
While this was partly to repay Zhang Dong's family for their kindness and help his friend, business was still business, and he needed to be clear about the terms. It was better to set expectations now to avoid any misunderstandings that could damage their relationship later. If Zhang Dong didn't take it seriously, it would mean he didn't appreciate the opportunity, and further help wouldn't be necessary.
"Rest assured, I'll do exactly as you say." Zhang Dong responded immediately. He wasn't foolish and wouldn't do anything to ruin such a good opportunity.
Zhang Lin nodded and added some details, "Also, make sure you have your WeChat payment code and other necessary things ready for selling the peaches. I'll have Lin Tuo sell them at the South Market, and you can sell them at the North Square. For the first day, I can lend you a cart as a stall, but after that, you'll need to set up a store..."
Zhang Dong nodded, carefully noting down everything Zhang Lin said.
After they parted ways, Zhang Dong immediately printed several WeChat payment codes before heading back to the hospital. When he entered the ward, he saw only his father, Zhang Ergen, there.
" Dad, where's Mom?" Zhang Dong asked.
" She went to buy some things," Zhang Ergen explained.
Zhang Dong sat down, thought for a moment, and then said seriously, " Dad, I need to tell you something. Starting tomorrow, I won't be delivering food anymore. Please tell Uncle Li for me, and I'll apologize in person later."
" Are you being unreasonable again? Is it because you think delivering food is embarrassing?" Zhang Ergen became anxious and tried to reason with him, "I've already told you, as long as you can earn money, don't care what others say. You just got out, and if it weren't for me talking to Uncle Li, no one would have hired you!"
Zhang Dong understood his father's concern and quickly reassured him, " Dad, I really don't think delivering food is embarrassing. It's just that Zhang Lin has given me a better opportunity. He's doing a fruit business, and I think it's a great opportunity."
" Zhang Lin gave you this opportunity?" Zhang Ergen was clearly taken aback, remembering the 50,000 yuan Zhang Lin had repaid. He had initially thought Zhang Lin had scraped together the money, but now, seeing him help his son, it seemed he had been wrong.
Zhang Dong nodded, "Yes, Zhang Lin gave me this opportunity. Besides, I can't keep delivering food forever. Ruirui has been giving me a hard time because of it, and I'm afraid we might break up soon."
Zhang Ergen still trusted Zhang Lin, but he still gave Zhang Dong a reminder: "Zhang Lin arranged this, so work hard for him. He's a decent person."
"Dad, I understand!" Zhang Dong nodded quickly.
...
When Zhang Lin returned home, his mother was already in her room getting ready for bed. She wasn't in the best health and usually went to sleep early.
He didn't want to disturb her, so he took a shower and then checked his WeChat feed. In the internet age, this was something most people did before bed.
After scrolling through a few pages, he saw a post from a girl named Fu Yao. The photo showed a few potted plants and a sweet smile on the girl's face.
It seemed she enjoyed growing potted plants.
He continued scrolling and was about to put his phone down when he noticed a classmate group chat was buzzing with activity.
Curious, he opened it and was taken aback.
It turned out that today was the day of their class reunion, and something had gone wrong. A male classmate and a female classmate had been playing a flirtatious game when the man's wife walked in, leading to a heated confrontation.. been video.. The. was filmed and.
Zhang Lin shook his head. It seemed that class reunions were now a common cause of family breakdowns.
He watched the commotion for a bit before putting his phone down.
...
The next morning, he opened the game in his mind and clicked on the procurement market:
1. Sweet Peaches ( Quality 1), wholesale price: 4 yuan per pound, daily wholesale quantity: 1500 pounds.
2. Sunshine Rose Grapes (Quality 1), wholesale price: 6 yuan per pound, daily wholesale quantity: 500 pounds.
3. Special Fast-Growing Rapeseed (Quality 1), purchase price: 250 yuan per pound, daily purchase quantity: 10 pounds.
day.
Zhang Lin didn't hesitate and bought everything.
Today, he added 500 pounds of sweet peaches, bringing the total wholesale cost to 11,500 yuan, but the profit from selling them would be 44,500 yuan.
To make distribution easier, he first wholesaled 1000 pounds of sweet peaches and 500 pounds of Sunshine Rose Grapes. After Liu and Lin, he would wholesale the remaining 500 pounds to Zhang Dong.
This way, it would be easier to keep track of the deliveries.
After washing up and having breakfast, Zhang Lin hurried out the door. When he arrived at the farm, Liu De and the others were almost done loading the sweet peaches and Sunshine Rose Grapes onto the truck.
He grabbed a few plastic bags and filled them with peaches and grapes. These were gifts for the other creditors.
After all, he had already repaid Uncle Ergen 50,000 yuan, and it was polite to visit the others, offering some fruit as a gesture of goodwill.
Although he would quickly repay the money through the game system, it was important to show that he remembered his obligations, regardless of when he would repay them.
He also told Liu De to inform Lin about reducing the a bit when weighing the fruits.
Zhang Lin carried a few bags of sweet peaches and Sunshine Rose Grapes into the prefab house and placed them in a cool, shaded corner.
Once Liu De and the others had loaded the fruits from the warehouse and left to make deliveries, Zhang Lin wholesaled the remaining 500 pounds of sweet peaches.
Next, he took out the printed research materials, the advertisement stand, and the loudspeaker he had prepared earlier.
It was the first time he was wholesaling sweet peaches to Zhang Dong, and these items would be useful when Zhang Dong sold the peaches at the North District Square.
