Everyone thinks Zhao Laosan’s analysis makes sense.
Under the leadership of Zhao Laosan, seven tricycles loaded with junk drove towards Shuiquan Town under the noon sun.
It's a good idea, but it would be a disaster if it were actually done.
Electric tricycles have limited power, can carry hundreds of kilograms of junk, and are much slower than bicycles. .??.
What's even worse is that there is a steep slope on the way, and even five of the seven people on the tricycle cannot go up it.
Among them, Dachengzi’s three-wheeler has the most.
The car lost power midway and rolled down in reverse.
If Xiaodong hadn't pinned him down with his car, Dachengzi would have had to turn over into the corn field.
Everyone worked together and pushed up the slope one by one.
When we got to the top, we were exhausted, sweating profusely and panting.
It took more than forty minutes just to load up and arrive at Shuiquan Town.
When I arrived in town, I went to the largest purchasing department, and when I asked about the price, I found that a pound of scrap metal was five cents cheaper than Fatty's.
Not only scrap iron, but almost all scrap products are five cents cheaper.
One pound is five yuan, and one hundred pounds is five yuan.
For goods of five to six hundred kilograms, the profit is more than thirty dollars less.
After suffering such a crime all the way here and still losing money, everyone immediately became emotional.
Zhao Laosan calmed everyone down after a lot of comfort.
If you can't accept the price here, then go elsewhere.
Shuiquan Town is much larger than Beishan Town, and there are more than a dozen scrap purchasing departments.
I checked six stores in a row and finally found one with a reasonable price.
Although the price is fair, the service attitude of this restaurant is extremely bad.
“We don’t have enough manpower here, so we unload the trucks and sort them ourselves.”
"Make it clear, line up and come over to weigh in!"
"Hey, empty out the remaining drink in your water bottle."
"We won't accept anything that hasn't been emptied cleanly."
"And you, if you don't use these cardboard boxes, you will be deducted five kilograms!"
"Five pounds?"
"Brother, you are too dark!"
"My carton is just a bit trendy. Is it okay in other places?" "Other families are other families, but we can't do it here."
"If you sell it, you will be deducted five pounds. If you don't sell it, you will be pulled down."
"have to!"
"If you deduct five catties, you will deduct five catties. You are so stupid!"
"Why am I the only one who's so dumb?"
"As I said just now, I don't have enough manpower."
"You guys carry it up yourself, and after you weigh it, move it to the big pile and arrange it neatly for me."
"Deduct money for littering."
"puff."
I sold several carts of scrap and was wasted here for more than an hour.
Not only do you have to work as a small laborer, but you also suffer mental torture.
After leaving the acquisition department, the four Xiaodongs finally burst out with resentment.
"I won't sell it at the door of my house, and I'll be embarrassed by traveling so far away."
"Don't you think we're full enough?"
"We sell goods, and people will give us money."
"What kind of character does this person have that has anything to do with us?"
"I don't care about you, I will never come next time."
"Isn't this suffering?" Xiaodong complained.
"Xiaodong, that's not what you said."
"We have to make long-term plans."
"As long as the brothers hold on, Dalei Zi and the others will definitely beg us to go back."
"As long as they take the initiative to ask for help, they will never dare to cheat us in the future."
"Everyone, what I heard is correct." Zhao Laosan said.
"Third brother, it's not that my brother doesn't listen to your arrangements, it's really a shame."
"This trip takes more than two hours, which will delay at least one trip of work!"
"After careful calculation, we have suffered a huge loss." Xiaodong said.
"Loss is also temporary. As long as everyone holds on, we will have good days in the future."
"Please give me some face and stick with it for a week."
"This week, I treat everyone to eat dumplings at noon every day.
son."
"If Da Leizi doesn't express his position after a week, can you all do whatever you want?"
"this"
"All right!"
"Just listen to Third Brother."
In Shuiquan Town, Zhao Laosan invited everyone to eat dumplings.
Ten pounds of dumplings and fourteen bottles of beer cost Zhao Laosan one hundred and seventy yuan.
When paying the bill, Mr. Zhao's heart was bleeding.
If someone else suffers a little bit of trouble, they will just make dumplings, while I will stare at you and pay for it.
But when things got to this point, he had no choice but to retreat.
In the past, these brothers all listened to me.
But if you just compromise with Dalei Zi like this, your prestige will be ruined in the future.
So even if he loses money, Zhao Laosan still has to grit his teeth and hold on.
This is saving face and suffering.
On the way back, Zhao Laosan was always depressed.
After returning to the family home of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Laosan suddenly became excited.
Because he discovered that Wang Dalei and Lu Fei came over on tricycles to collect the junk.
"Hey, isn't this our boss Wang?"
"You are the big boss now, why are you still here?"
“It’s not to experience life!”
"how?"
"I came here to collect the rags, didn't I miss it?" the fat man shouted with his eyes wide open.
"middle!"
"Of course it's no problem!"
"I just feel it's a bit fresh."
"This is the first time I've seen the boss of the purchasing department come out to collect junk in person."
"But it's no wonder, there's no business even if you're keeping a stall, so why not go out and earn some money, right?"
Faced with Zhao Laosan's eccentric attitude, Fatty not only wasn't annoyed, but actually laughed.
"Zhao Laosan, you take yourself too seriously."
"No one in this world lives the same way."
"Go to my shop and take a look. My door is almost broken." "In our Beishan Town, you, Mr. Zhao, are not the only ones collecting rags."
"My business would still be booming without you being such a bastard."
Fatty's words really weren't deceiving him.
There are indeed only a dozen or so people riding electric three-wheelers in the town who specialize in collecting junk.
But there are many people who ride on three wheels or ride on donkeys to fight guerrillas.
There are also quite a few individuals and stores who have accumulated junk and sell it directly themselves.
Especially the demolition of the supply and marketing cooperative has attracted many junk collectors from out of town to grab business.
These people poured into the acquisition department one after another, and business was booming.
Daleizi temporarily hired two strong men from Beisanjia Village and managed to make it work.
Zhao Laosan sneered.
"Dalei, please stop being such a tough talker."
"Bragging is more disgusting than breaking shoes, I tell you."
"Seeing as we are all fellow villagers from the same town, I'll give you a chance."
"You can set up a table at Huaguanlou tomorrow noon, apologize to us seriously and correct your attitude. From now on, we will go and cheer for you."
"Otherwise, your shop will be closed down!"
"Pooh!"
"If you want me to apologize to you idiot, stop daydreaming."
"From today on, even if you want to go to my place, I won't do your business."
"good!"
"It's true that he's a big guy, and he's still as tough-talking as ever."
"I won't argue with you, let's wait and see."
"I want to see when your shop will close down." Zhao Laosan said.
"Fat man, why are you talking to him so much?"
"Hurry up and do business." Lu Fei said.
"You're right, there's no need to argue with an idiot."
The fat man said and turned on the electric speaker, and the pre-recorded hawking sound was immediately played out.
"Collect rags!"
"Collect scrap copper and iron waste paper boxes."
"Collect refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines, old mobile phones and computers."
