"Did you know about something, the matter regarding the Hongqing City Avenue project, I heard it's related to a material supplier with the surname Gu?" Ji Yun asked.
"They're not material suppliers, to be precise they should be called operators," Zhong Dingwei said.
"Operators??" Ji Yun had never heard such a term before.
"Every project has middlemen, otherwise many things couldn't be done. Besides, companies at every stage want to save on costs or find manufacturers with the same specifications and quality, but different prices. Many manufacturers face capital turnover issues and in order to ship out large quantities at once, they significantly lower the prices of their products. Most middlemen simply pass this information to buyers who need it, seeking profit from it. This is a common practice within the industry..." Zhong Dingwei explained.
Ji Yun nodded; this was within the rules.
