Of course, Xu Erlong will definitely not want all these scraps, and he has no plans to start collecting scraps at the moment.
He is willing to pay five times the purchase price, so naturally he has requirements and conditions.
The landlady squatted on the ground and accompanied Xu Erlong as he slowly picked through the old papers and selected the information Xu Erlong wanted.
Although this seems to be a waste of time, I was given five times the price, so it is normal for it to be a little more troublesome and demanding.
Xu Erlong was also glad that he had just promised to pay five times the price. Otherwise, if he cleaned them one by one like this, people would have jumped up and scolded him.
Xu Erlong thought about this, and suddenly thought, there is such a way, he can not only get various test papers from Beiguan Middle School, but he can also get test papers from several other schools.
You know, their urban area is not like other cities where there is only one good middle school.
There are many well-known middle schools here.
There are even middle schools founded by education experts. In the 1980s, they were among the best. Even if they fall to the second tier twenty or thirty years later, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Xu Erlong first put down a deposit of ten yuan and asked the boss and his wife to help him sort out the information he needed. Then he rushed to another key middle school without stopping.
Fortunately, it was only the early stage of reform. There was no major development or expansion in the city, and the area was relatively small. Xu Erlong made several trips and still found the garbage dumps next to these key middle schools.
Sure enough, there are still many good things in the garbage dump.
Many people can make a fortune by picking up trash.
Xu Erlong still followed the same pattern, paying more than five times the price to buy various scrapped test papers or various notes from the graduating class.
After struggling for a day, Xu Erlong finally got a big bulging bag, filled it with a worn-out urea bag from the garbage station, carried it on his shoulders, and prepared to take a boat back to the county town.
When passing by Xinhua Road, Xu Erlong put down his urea bag, sat aside to catch his breath, and took a look at Xinhua Road at this time.
At this time, Xinhua Road had already formed a large-scale flea market.
On both sides of the street, there are various "chicken feather leg" stands set up with mats on them and a long row of various umbrellas, heelless socks, gold-plated jewelry and the like.
Those who can set up stalls are all those with business licenses, and they are all husband-wife or father-son stalls.
But there are still some young people who do not have a business license. They wear sunglasses, hold electronic watches in their hands, no socks, and have no fixed stalls, quietly hawking.
Xu Erlong was sitting here, and from time to time young people would come over to him and ask him quietly: "Do you want a digital watch? Do you want socks without heels?"
Xu Erlong is not interested in electronic watches without heels.
His department store will be ready soon, and he still hopes to sell things to others.
However, Xu Erlong became interested when he saw another person passing by holding a tape: "Do you have a tape recorder?"
recorder?
This is a big deal.
The other party looked at Xu Erlong a few times.
For a moment, I couldn't tell where Xu Erlong was from.
The clothes look good and the demeanor is calm, but why is he carrying such a rubbish urea bag like a rag picker?
But from the looks of it, he doesn’t look like someone in charge of the market.
"Brother, do you know how much a tape recorder costs?" the other party asked.
Xu Erlong replied: "If the price is right, I will take one." Xu Erlong said.
The other party looked around: "Really want peace of mind? Then come with me."
"No." Xu Erlong refused.
If people are on guard against him, he will still be on guard against others.
If he were tricked into some alley and beaten with a suffocation stick, he would have nowhere to go to cry.
"I want it deliberately. Of course, the goods must be good and there must be no quality problems. If you have them, bring them here. If not, I will find someone else." Xu Erlong answered calmly.
The other party hesitated for a moment, but his desire to make money took over.
"Okay, then you wait." The other party said, asking a few more questions: "Then do you still want the tape? It belongs to Zheng Liqun."
You know, the train ticket from here to Yangcheng is only 32 yuan, but if you take back a tape of Zheng Liqun, you can sell it from 3.7 yuan to about 6 yuan. Anyone would be willing to pay for it.
You can earn so much from a tape, let alone a tape recorder.
Xu Erlong said: "No. I want an English tape. It's in English. Do you understand?"
"Then I'll go look for it," the other party said.
Xu Erlong said: "Go ahead. If you don't have it, ask your accomplices and help them look for it. I have two hours left for my boat at eight o'clock in the evening. You should hurry up as soon as possible."
The other party nodded and blended into the crowd in a few moments.
Xu Erlong waited here with peace of mind.
The sky is getting darker, and more and more people are setting up street stalls and night markets.
Therefore, in big cities, the pace of reform and opening up is much faster.
Look, everything sold on these two sides is clothing.
If you look carefully, these clothes are all old and second-hand goods.
This was brought over from overseas places, and for a time, it flooded the domestic market.
Even though they are second-hand, they still attract many fashionable men and women to choose them, for no other reason than that these styles are very fashionable and are much better than the stereotyped white shirts and blue trousers in China.
After a while, the man who contacted the tape recorder came over.
What he brought to Xu Erlong was a cassette recorder.
"The thing is here, take a look." the other party said.
Xu Erlong took it and took a look. It was the simplest tape recorder. It didn't even have a radio function. But these days, he didn't insist on too much. He tried it casually. It seemed that there was no big problem.
"How much?" Xu Erlong asked directly.
"This is imported from abroad. Do you know, brother, this is from the Devonian Kingdom, Sanyang, a famous brand..." the other party boasted.
"Just tell me how much it is. If it's expensive, I won't want it." Xu Erlong answered directly.
In recent years, these foreign goods have become rampant.
He felt that admiration for foreign countries was also a result of these businessmen and dealers. They always said that foreign countries were as good as they were, so that ordinary people who had never seen the world once thought that the moon in foreign countries was round.
"This is at least three hundred." The other party held out three fingers.
Xu Erlong almost laughed.
He smiled and asked the other party: "Brother, do you think I look like a 'waiha' from out of town?"
"Waiha" is a local curse word. The written language is "waisi", which refers to a fool from other places who can fool and deceive at will.
The other party smiled: "Of course not, I'm just saying this thing is good."
"This thing costs more than 100 yuan in a department store." Xu Erlong replied calmly: "Now, I am just carrying things and rushing to catch the boat, so I don't go to the department store to buy it. Just give me a real price.
, you are in this business to make money after all, as long as I don’t lose you or deceive me.”
