encountered when collecting waste products
In 1998, due to the Asian financial crisis, he ended his part-time work career in the south. I went to Dalian in the northeast to collect waste.
Northeast China is a heavy industry base, so every household basically has scrap copper and rotten iron. Not much at that time.
At that time, the collection of waste products was very simple. Each person had a pedal tricycle, a wooden scale, and a small gong. Hang the small gong on the handlebars of the tricycle and beat the gong while riding. If someone sells scrap, after hearing the gong, someone will greet you.
One day after nine o'clock in the morning, I was riding a bicycle on the street and beating the gong. At this time, a man who looked like a migrant worker walked up to me and asked me in a low voice, "Do you accept copper?"
I think he is in his thirties, and he has a foreign accent. The clothes were covered with mud, and it looked like they were working on the construction site. I quickly said: accept, accept.
At this time, he pointed to the woven bag at the corner of the street and said, "We dug a lot of scrap copper cables on the construction site. I got some. Go to the woven bag together. Since the heavy metals such as cables are basically illegal goods, we both look around for fear of being discovered by others.
I took a cable out of the woven bag and saw that it was a black-skinned copper-core cable. This kind of cable removes at least one pound of rubber and can produce eight taels of clean copper wire. I was overjoyed, I was going to make a fortune today.
The cable in the woven bag is also covered with soil. It should be cut into pieces with a hacksaw, and the cross-section is also stained with copper foam left by the saw blade.
We negotiated a good price, 221 jin with rubber. At that time, scrap copper was sold for 321 jin.
He looked scared and kept urging me to weigh myself. He said to me: "There are two bags of this, a total of twenty one. The lengths are about the same, so you can weigh one.Hurry up, stop dawdling, it's not good for people to see! "
I just followed what he said, and also deliberately found a short one. One weight, five pounds and two taels.
"Calculate five pounds, a total of 105 pounds, a total of 2,320 yuan. Give me two thousand and three! "
I said, ok! He then helped me lift the woven bag onto the tricycle, and I covered the woven bag with a sheet of tarpaulin. I paid him the money, and they all left immediately.
I quickly pedaled the tricycle to the rental house. Hurry up, I thought I was lucky today, at least I won't earn a thousand dollars?!
When I got to the rental house, I quickly took out the wallpaper knife and took out a piece of cable from the woven bag. I'm going to peel off the rubber. I put the cable in When I got to the ground, I stepped on the cable, grabbed the wallpaper knife with both hands and scratched towards the cable...
After the rubber was scratched off, I was immediately dumbfounded: this cable has three centimeters of copper wire at both ends, and the middle is filled with cement!
I quickly put The rest of the 20 sticks are also divided one by one. Mom La Ba Zi, it's all like this!
......
was deceived more than 2,000 that day. [Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears][Tears]
