Today, I went to the waste station to sell waste products. An uncle also came to sell waste products. The uncle was a small vendor like me, and they all went to the countryside to collect and sell them to the waste station to make a little difference.
Seeing the uncle laughed and rode in on a tricycle, I told the boss to call it uncle first! Don't let the uncle wait for such a big sun, I also want to see what good things the uncle received, happy.
I joked with the uncle, did you receive some baby, so happy. The uncle told us that I had received a good thing today, and the copper wire was recovered at 23 yuan a catty, and it was a great deal.
When we heard what the uncle said, I felt a little bit in my heart, there must be something tricky. At present, the price of copper wire is generally not available, because everyone knows that the price of scrap copper has risen.
The boss asked how many catties he received, and the uncle said that there were 85 catties, which cost nearly 2,000 yuan. The boss asked the uncle to take down the copper wire, and the uncle poured out the copper wire. I saw tufts of copper wire, with a beautiful appearance.
The boss said there must be a problem inside, so he found a magnet and scissors. Put the magnet on and sucked it up. The boss said that there was iron in it, and then the boss cut the copper wire. There was something inside and wrapped some iron pieces. When the uncle saw it, he cursed: "These two little rascals cheated me." After listening to the uncle talked about the process of collecting scrap copper, he knew what was going on.
It turned out that the uncle went to a small town to collect scraps. Two young men stopped him and said they would sell some copper wires to the uncle. The uncle said yes, so the two young men parked the motorcycle and took off two pockets of copper wire.
Someone said that they are going to the scrap shop to sell it! Seeing that the uncle also collects waste products, they sell them to the uncle. They don't want to go all the way to the waste station when they are in a hurry, saying that the price is easy to negotiate. The uncle asked how much it would cost to sell a catty. They said that it was 25 yuan a catty. The young man said that he heard that the price of scrap copper had been reduced, otherwise he would sell it for 27 to 8 yuan a catty.
The uncle heard that the price was not high, but he wanted to earn more, so he said that he would give them a maximum of 23 yuan a catty. One young man agreed, the other disagreed, saying that it would cost 25 yuan a catty.
The uncle told them to let the two of them discuss it well, and then the two of them went to the side to discuss. After a while, the young man who disagreed left, and the young man who agreed to 23 yuan per catty came over and told the uncle that he would sell it to you at this price.Saying that his companion left in an emergency, he also sold it secretly. If his companion comes back later, the uncle must say that he collected it at 25 yuan a catty.
The uncle agreed, and said that the goods would be inspected. The young man said yes. I opened the pocket and took out the top two lumps, and asked the uncle to check it quickly, otherwise he won't let him sell it when his companion comes back.
Uncle took a closer look, and also peeled a tuft, no problem. The young man was tight next to him. The remaining uncle took a look and weighed it out. The total amount was 85 jin. The young man was given 1950 yuan, and he returned with the waste.
After the uncle finished speaking, he was a little bit weak, and sighed that he had been busy for so many days. The waste station boss told the uncle that there is no way to do this, so let's spend money to buy experience! Today I gave the highest price to the uncle, 30.5 yuan a catty. The boss said that no amount can be given, and the scrap copper price is not good these two days.
The boss and the uncle took out all the iron in the copper wire, and the iron alone is 35 jin. The boss of the waste station told the uncle that 35 kilograms of iron sold for 50 yuan, and the remaining 50 kilograms of copper wire sold for 1,525 yuan. Excluding the cost of 1950 yuan, the uncle lost nearly 400 yuan on these copper wires today.
Uncle has been so busy these days, and suddenly lost several hundred yuan. Many times, the experience of collecting waste products is spent on selling them back. I hope that the uncle will brighten his eyes next time and stop being deceived.
There are too many people in the scrap industry now, and there are more and more tricks. There are endless methods of fraud and tricks, and you can encounter any tricks after a long time. For example, adding iron and ginseng cement in the scrap iron, adding water and bricks in the waste paper box, and putting cement blocks in the scrap iron and copper are simply overwhelming. Therefore, the collection of waste products can only rely on one's own experience every day to judge whether there is any fraud in it and whether it will lose money.
