Lao Bi is also a sensible person and does not need Zhang Zhe or Yeats to do the work. After thinking about it, he realized that it was definitely worth it to agree to Sun Ruoying to pick up Sun Weiyang. And this is also a challenging job for him.
.It’s just that I have left middle school for many years, and there is a generation gap. If I want to communicate with my current middle school sister, I need a detailed plan.
While he was thinking hard and making plans, Zhang Zhe was also busy with his career. The network had just been rolled out to universities and middle schools across the city, and he still needed to keep up with training and supervision.
In addition to being busy, he also had one thing to solve first. That was Pang Shuai's two "treasure books", which were given to him for 600 yuan as living expenses, and now Sun Ruoying took them in exchange for 5,000 yuan each.
Although Zhang Zhe is not an expert and has never even authenticated it, he also knows that if a used book is really worth 5,000, it will not fall into the hands of Pang Shuai. But now that the value is available, if Ye Feng, Lao Bi
, or if he accidentally said it himself, it would be bad if it reached Pang Shuai's ears. It would affect his credibility - he thought he was not very good at destroying business.
Taking advantage of Zhou Yue, he took Pang Shuai out to have lunch together, and then asked in a roundabout way: "Handsome guy, are you going to Taobao today? Show me around!"
Pang Shuai had met Zhang Zhe many times and became friends. He knew very well that he was a pragmatic person, but he never expected that he would want to go to Taobao.
"Isn't it good for you to be a pawnshop? If you keep it, you will get money. If others don't come to redeem it, you can still sell it. Why go shopping for old things? To be honest, I am just gambling!" Zhang Zhe invited me to dinner.
, and asked Pang Shuai to tell the truth truthfully without tempting him into the water.
"I understand that to become a Fang family member and to successfully pick up leaks, in addition to a lot of study, you also have to pay a lot of tuition. But I don't mean to gamble. Now that my pawn shop is expanding, I have more opportunities to encounter all kinds of old things.
There are many, you must know how to identify them, so as not to be cheated. Others cannot redeem their pawns on time like you!" What Zhang Zhe said is also true.
Pang Shuai thought about it and said, "I can help you understand the market, but you have to have self-control yourself and don't listen to others' deception. Otherwise, it's easy to buy back some waste paper. I have a bunch of it... Actually, I haven't started yet.
, I’ve been groping.”
Zhang Zhe heard his underlying meaning - he could be brought with him, but he wouldn't teach anything, so he had to explore and try on his own. He didn't mind, after all, experience, knowledge, etc. were all accumulated by Pang Shuai by paying tuition.
Yes, I will tell you casually, how do you balance your mind? The friendship between them is different from that between Lao Bi.
…
After the meal, Pang Shuai took Zhang Zhe to the Xiaonanmen Market where he often visited.
"You haven't been here often, have you? This street and several alleys are all selling old items, and there are a lot of used books, especially on weekends and Sundays." Pang Shuai explained, "With my level and capital, it's just
You can only shop in such low-end places. There are several types of low-end. Look here, they are all street stalls and small stalls. This is not the lowest one, there are also scrap collection stations. There are large quantities and low prices! Of course,
The chance of finding treasure is also very low.
Take used books as an example. The waste collection station collects and sells waste paper and does not organize or select it. If you have time, patience, and good luck, you can find some of them among countless waste newspapers, magazines, and books.
It’s valuable. The price is either per kilogram or one or two yuan. It really feels like finding a treasure. But the chance is too small, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also depends on good luck. After playing it, I
I don’t do it often anymore.
It's a little better here, those who just set up street stalls. Some of them recycle themselves, or go to the waste station to sort out the scales, sort them out, clean them up, and sell them for a small amount of money. Of course, the stalls should be a bit more high-end, at least they have scaffolding. Just kidding.
Their bookstalls are a little tidier and more carefully selected - they are too worthless and take up space, and they are not as profitable as selling pirated books."
With Pang Shuai's introduction, Zhang Zhe basically understood his methods and models. Basically, he was still getting lucky, but the second-hand bookstall screened them for him, saving some time and energy.
"Let's go shopping slowly. I don't have money to buy anything now. I come here often and many people recognize me and don't dare to bully you too much." Pang Shuai took him around in a familiar manner.
Zhang Zhe was a little disappointed after looking at several bookstalls. These old books were just old books. They only cost a few yuan, and the price was more than ten yuan. Many of them were published for a long time and had rare editions. They were not found in Taodian bookstores. The cheap books were very cheap.
Well, there are no more rare or old books. Pang Shuai must have a better place to buy them.
But he soon calmed down. If there really were so many precious ancient books, they wouldn't be at the level of a second-hand bookstall.
Pang Shuai paid more attention to Zhang Zhe. Seeing the disappointment on his face, he hesitated and said: "You are not here to buy garbage. Come on, follow me over there to see it!"
He did not let Zhang Zhe go to the bookstall again, but walked straight for a while and then entered a side alley.
"There are many people and stalls outside, but it is difficult to find good things. Even if there are, they are often taken away by others first. On the street outside, whether it is books or other things, most of them are for personal use. I want to collect them.
, more resellers come to this alley."
Zhang Zhe looked over and saw that there were old houses on both sides of the old alley. Some were open and were small shops selling groceries, some were for people to play mahjong, and some were residential buildings. Except for some at home, there were all street stalls and stalls.
The surface is small, and there are not many things on display. Some stall owners sit around and smoke cigarettes, drink kung fu tea, and some play chess. It feels very leisurely, as if the business is dispensable and they do not actively solicit solicitation.
"It seems more reliable." Zhang Zhe nodded with a smile, and then said one of his purposes: "Actually, I want to let you choose two books. Because... the two books you cheated on last time, let me
It's lost. Come and redeem it when the time comes. I have nothing to give you."
Pang Shuai stopped and turned to look at Zhang Zhe, obviously surprised.
"I'm sorry, I..." Zhang Zhe was a little embarrassed. In the past year of working as a pawnshop, it was common for others not to redeem money. It was because he was embarrassed that he lost the pawn first. This was the first time he had to explain, especially since this was a person with a good reputation.
Recorded frequent visitor. I feel bad if I lose the valuable things that I finally found.
Pang Shuai looked at it for a few times, then sighed: "It doesn't matter! We are all so familiar friends, so you don't have to blame yourself, just follow the contract."
Zhang Zhe was startled and saw that he was holding back a surprise. Could it be that those two books were not valuable and he just used them as collateral casually?
If this is the case, Pang Shuai really has reason to be happy. Although his pawnshop is not formal, it also has a compensation system. For example, this 600 yuan a month, 10% of the storage fee, will be redeemed at 660 yuan. If the book cannot be handed over, 660 yuan will be charged.
If the price is less than 10%, the other party will be compensated 10% more. This is equivalent to selling him two used books for 7 yuan!
Pang Shuai knows the value best. Of course, it must be done according to the contract as if it is fair. Since it cannot be exchanged for other items, how much does it cost to buy two old books? I can find dozens of yuan here, one or two hundred will be the top. Of course, it is cost-effective to exchange money.
"Okay!" He felt that he had made a profit, and everyone was happy if he did not ignore him. Zhang Zhe was also satisfied. The next step was to find out how to get lucky. He did not expect to find something worth a lot of money, but Sun Ruoying's eyes were a bit inexplicable.
Just debt.
Zhang Zhe solved the credit problem, and Pang Shuai solved the redemption problem, and both of them became more interested in shopping.
Pang Shuai's living expenses haven't arrived yet. Although he doesn't have to redeem it from Zhang Zhe, he still refrains from buying it for the time being. He just leads Zhang Zhe to ask for price reference and so on.
In front of a stall near the end of the alley, Zhang Zhe noticed something and squatted down to take a closer look.
