Rebirth 1990: I have three golden fingers

Fang Bai studied English for a month, but he didn't expect such a big improvement.

He plans to memorize thirty or forty words a day. After a month, combined with the previous foundation, it can be said that he has memorized most of the vocabulary of high school students.

It's not that he studied well, but that the English questions in this era were relatively simple compared to later generations, and there were few pitfalls in reading comprehension.

Therefore, Fang Baicai got relatively high scores in the exam, but all he actually got were basic scores, taking advantage of the times.

Fang Bai was immediately considered by his classmates to be a top student, not a trash student.

After one exam, he didn't expect that his image in the eyes of his classmates would change drastically.

The morning after taking the test papers, he asked a part-time college student to dismantle the remaining TV casing so that he could analyze the TV faults and make notes.

There were piles of unusable bad casings, wires and other TV parts. Fang Bai asked his father to take them to the scrap collection station to dispose of them. It would be good to make some money by selling them.

Save money if you can, even if it's just a dollar.

Fang Bai is not stingy about spending money.

This kind of consumption temperament is exactly the mentality of Wencheng bosses, but Fang Bai is more generous.

After dinner, he planned to take a bus to T City to prepare for his second TV waste purchase.

On this trip, he brought 40,000 yuan in his backpack. He also stuffed conspicuous valuables such as BP machines into his backpack, and dressed more simply.

From the outside, he looks like an ordinary young man. He rides in the car and reads mathematics books. He behaves like a student and does not look like a rich man at all.

Traveling alone, in this era, it is not a good thing to look like a rich person.

He was wearing sneakers, just ready to run away.

Run away as soon as you see something bad going on. Making money in this era is easy, but it’s not easy either.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Bai took a bus from Oubei Bus Station and arrived in T city at around three in the afternoon.

It took a long time to choose a TV, and time was tight. He had no time to choose a TV this afternoon and had to spend the night in T city.

He plans to choose a motorcycle in the afternoon. Two or three hours is enough for him to choose a motorcycle. He will choose a TV tomorrow.

Fang Bai will choose a larger number of TVs this time, planning to have about 500 TVs, and most of them will be 21-inch color TVs.

On the transport truck, we still choose a 9.6-meter van to carry it, which can just load 500 TVs. No matter how large the number of TVs is, it will not be easy to load.

After several rounds of sales, Fang Bai has a certain understanding of the spending power of Wencheng locals.

29-inch color TVs priced at two to three thousand yuan are also popular, but if there are too many, the market will soon be saturated.

In addition, 29-inch TVs are also relatively scarce.

14-inch and 17-inch black and white TVs are low-priced and easy to sell, but they don't make much money.

14-inch and 21-inch color TVs are also popular and are the main market.

But it is not possible for everyone to choose a color TV. Many customers still cannot afford a 14-inch color TV that costs more than 300 yuan, so they can only choose a cheap black and white TV.

Therefore, choose more color TVs and some black and white TVs.

After walking out of the T city bus station, Fang Bai took a human-powered tricycle to Daguangyou Solid Recycling Company. He heard from the tricycle master that this type of metal recycling company is very strong in the local area and there are many second-hand motorcycles.

Fang Bai has always been obsessed with motorcycles. If there is a motorcycle at home, it will be more convenient for his parents to travel between home and the city, and it will be more convenient to travel a little further distance.

He plans to study in college elsewhere, otherwise, two motorcycles at home would be enough.

A family with two motorcycles is too wealthy.

Of course, Fang Bai also considered second-hand cars.

But I forgot about it after thinking that I couldn't get a license plate. Although motorcycles are required to get a license plate, they won't be stopped by the traffic police if they don't get one. The control of motorcycles is not strict these days.

Plus, it’s not difficult to pay for a motorcycle license.

After arriving at the location, Fang Bai got out of the car and stood at the company gate to observe.

The company occupies an area of ​​more than a hundred acres, and has built many iron sheds on the open ground, which contain various second-hand metal equipment, including cars and motorcycles.

At this time, there were many customers on the venue. Fang Bai went in casually. When he arrived at the venue, he told the staff to pick the goods and then took a look at them casually.

After walking around, I roughly understood that these second-hand goods are really old and have a very long service life.

Fang Bai thought about it. The equipment is of high value, and the problems are usually with parts, which can be easily repaired. Unlike electronic products, which are difficult to repair and require high testing techniques, they can just be thrown away.

The metal equipment on the site is dismantled and disassembled according to the material category. Most of the useless parts are taken to the steel plant for smelting. The price is based on the metal recycling price of the steel plant. The solid recycling company cannot make much money from this.

Purchasing these scrap metals from foreigners costs money, and the cost is relatively high compared to other foreign waste. Unlike cardboard, electronic waste, etc., it is free. It just means that foreigners have to pay dismantling and environmental protection costs, and sell them to solid recycling companies at a low price. The solid recycling companies then Sold to China.

The parts that can still be used are dismantled and sold as second-hand parts. This is the profitable part.

The second-hand motorcycles on the site that cannot be recycled have been dismantled and sold as scrap metal. The ones left on the site are in better condition and the price is much higher than the scrap metal price.

Let’s just say that it’s very difficult to repair it properly.

People who come here to check for leaks usually work in auto repair shops and specialize in refurbishment.

The foreign junk motorcycles imported from island countries are generally brands such as Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki.

For example, the imported new Honda 125 motorcycle, which has a large number of domestic models, has a domestic price of more than 15,000 yuan. It is not affordable for ordinary people, and Fang Bai is reluctant to spend this money.

Buying a second-hand motorcycle will cost more than 5,000 yuan, and it is difficult to find a good engine. It is better to buy one from this pile of motorcycles and it won't cost much.

The second-hand motorcycles on the site are still sold by the ton and cannot be disassembled. They cost 3,000 yuan per ton. The current steel price is only 1,400 yuan per ton.

For example, the Honda 125 model has a total weight of about 130 kilograms and costs about 390 yuan.

There are also retail stores of individual parts, all of which are refurbished and at different prices.

Fang Bai mainly looks at the engine first. Cars with a displacement of more than 125 are not considered. There are not many, so it is difficult to assemble parts. Moreover, the horsepower is too high, it consumes too much fuel, and the body is very heavy. My father will probably not be willing to drive it after buying it, so what's the point? significance.

There are many Honda motorcycles on site, so I mainly choose this brand because it is easy to get parts.

Ten minutes later, Fang Bai picked out a Honda motorcycle with a young engine and a broken engine gasket that leaked oil. He just needed to replace the gasket.

Some car engines were tested by Fangbai. The engine analysis showed that the color of the engine has turned yellow, and some parts have turned red. It cannot be repaired at all.

The car that Fang Bai was interested in had more than 20 other parts that needed to be replaced. From the outside, it looked relatively old. He guessed that the original owner didn't drive well and didn't have much money. It was taken to be repaired properly, but it was not properly stored.

It's hard to say whether it is, but Fang Bai has his sights set on this car anyway.

Then I spent more than 200 yuan to buy some parts and shipped them back to Master Chen for repair.

There is no need to buy a car and piece together parts. It is better to buy new tires, which do not cost much.

Just buy a second-hand motorcycle and buy a new one later when you have money.

It’s not easy to make money now that we spend money everywhere, so I want to do it myself.

When he had sufficient funds, he got into the car directly.

Of course, if you want to realize your car dream, you probably have to buy a subscription certificate.

Fang Bai has also thought about selling refurbished cars and motorcycles, but now he finds that it is difficult to find good cars and is too time-consuming. Moreover, it is very difficult to renovate, and the speed of making money is not as fast as refurbishing TVs.

After looking at the car, Fang Bai told the on-site staff which car he had chosen and would transport it tomorrow morning, but he had to pay a deposit.

No problem, Fang Bai paid a deposit of fifty yuan, got the receipt and left.
