If it is ordinary brass, if it accumulates to more than ten kilograms, he will be happy to accept it. This will be a small income.
Their general purchase price is 5 yuan per catty, and whether it is sent to the state-owned scrap station or to factories that need it, the income is at least seven or eight cents per catty. What's more, there are still more than ten catties here.
Heavy. You can earn at least ten yuan from one order. This kind of business does not happen often.
But what we see now are wires, which can only be found in wire factories or on roadside power grids. For ordinary private people, a few meters or more than ten meters is considered good.
And the ones in front of us are at least hundreds of meters long. The only way to get them is by "stealing", right?
Coupled with the strange behavior of the young man just now, he did not let him follow him to get it, but ran to get it by himself, and even asked him to wait in this remote alley. After all these things, Song Wenjing still couldn't guess the origin of the other party.
It's like trying to live a new life.
"Do you want it or not? If not, I'll leave!" The young man was a little anxious and stepped forward to urge.
Song Wenjing actually has a way to deal with these things. He just needs to take them back and put them in the furnace to burn for a while, then pick them up and forge them with a hammer, forge them into cakes or blocks, and then sell them.
, everything will be fine.
But Song Wenjing, who had resurrected his life, did not want to do such a thing. This was equivalent to helping the thief sell the stolen goods. There was no need for him to do such a thing. Isn't it necessary to make a few more dollars?
But then he thought of his cousin again. Although this place does not belong to Yiping Ping's jurisdiction, if he could report this situation to him and help him catch the thief, then his cousin would also be a credit.
ah!
I already owe a lot of favors to my cousin, so it's time to pay back some favors. Even if I have to bear part of the risk for it.
"Brother, it's a bit difficult for you to deal with this! You can accept it, but the price definitely cannot be calculated according to the normal price." Song Wenjing deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment.
Of course, the young man knew that the price of this kind of thing could not be calculated according to the normal price. As long as the other party was willing to accept it, even if it was a little cheaper, it would be fine. If you put it in your own home, it would be a time bomb. If someone knew that it was not guaranteed, it would be very troublesome.
"You name a price and I'll see if I can accept it!" the young man continued.
"How about 3 yuan and 5 pounds per pound?" Song Wenjing asked deliberately.
Of course the young man is not willing to pay such a price, it is too cheap. He still knows the approximate price, and he will definitely not be able to accept it after it has dropped so much.
"No, don't sit down and haggle. It's impossible for me to sell it to you for less than 4.5 yuan a pound." The young man frowned and said a little angry.
Of course Song Wenjing knew that the other party would not be able to accept such a price. He was just trying it out to see how much the other party could bear.
"Well, you don't want 4 yuan and 50 yuan, but 3 yuan and 8. This price should be more reasonable." Song Wenjing tried again.
In fact, he can accept the price of 4.5 yuan per catty. But bargaining is his specialty, and he still hopes to spend as little as possible.
Finally, after several rounds of confrontation, the two parties reached an agreement and settled the transaction at a price of 4 yuan.
Song Wenjing took out the money from his pocket, counted it, and said with a little embarrassment, "Brother, I only have 20 yuan and 80 cents left on me. I have recovered a lot of things today, and the funds are a bit insufficient!"
"You are kidding me!" The young man's expression changed on the spot. He even disagreed and planned to take action.
In fact, Song Wenjing still had some money in another pocket, but he deliberately didn't take it out.
Since you want to help your cousin, you need to catch this little thief. If you buy all the brass wires he has and then find someone else, it will take a lot of trouble.
Although we can guess that this little thief must have a den nearby, we can also guess it based on the time he ran to get the stolen goods.
But there are some residents around, so he can't follow the police one by one to find someone. How can he have the time?
Therefore, Song Wenjing came up with this trick: buy part of it first, and then make an agreement with the other party to bring the money over tomorrow and buy the remaining part.
If the other party doesn't show up tomorrow, then he can only cooperate with his cousin as much as possible. Who makes him owe Zhou Yiping such a big favor?
"Brother, we who collect rags can't get too much money at once. I originally had thirty or forty yuan, but as you can see, I have collected a lot of things today and haven't had time to go out yet."
Sell it." Song Wenjing pointed at the junk on the cart and said helplessly.
The young man obviously doesn't have much experience. In his opinion, if these rag collectors can get a few dozen yuan, it is considered very good. And indeed, as Song Wenjing said, there are a lot of things loaded on the cart.
These require money to recover.
"Then what do you want to do?" The young man still wanted to get rid of the stolen goods as soon as possible. It was not easy to negotiate today, and he didn't want to just lose it.
"Brother, you have a total of five bundles here, two of which weigh a little more than four kilograms. I will buy you two bundles first, which will cost about twenty yuan. I can dispose of the remaining goods in the car early tomorrow morning.
, then I’ll have money to buy the rest of your things. Let’s make an appointment, and I’ll come over to get it then.”
Song Wenjing acted very sincerely and tried his best to make the other party believe him. He still had half a pack of the remaining Hongtashan bag he bought last time in his pocket, and he wanted to take it out and give it away.
But when I thought about my identity, it would be a bit inappropriate to put away the tattered things, so I gave up the idea to avoid the other party becoming suspicious.
The other party was indeed a little hesitant, but seeing Song Wenjing's childish face and being even younger than himself, he felt a sense of contempt. In addition, he really wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, so he finally agreed to Song Wenjing's proposal.
The two parties agreed to come here again at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to deliver the remaining copper wires.
Song Wenjing was extremely happy inside, but on the outside he looked loyal and honest, and at the same time he felt as happy as after making money.
"Brother, don't worry. I will definitely come on time tomorrow. People like us who collect rags cannot have trouble with money. This is 20 yuan 3, which is just enough for your two bundles. Please keep it."
After saying that, he took the initiative to hand over the money.
The young man took the money in his hand and counted it. At the same time, he handed the two bundles of copper wires from the bag to Song Wenjing, then turned and left.
Seeing the other party leaving, Song Wenjing pressed the copper wire at the bottom of the cart, then pulled the cart outside.
He did not go directly to the police station where Zhou Ping was located, but deliberately bypassed the police station in his jurisdiction and went in another direction.
He was worried that the young man just now was following him. If the young man saw him heading towards the police station, it would be difficult to catch him.
Sure enough, not long after Song Wenjing left the alley, the young man flashed out from another place and followed quietly. As Song Wenjing thought, he was still a little worried that the other party would report him.
After following for several miles, he saw that Song Wenjing had not gone towards the police station, and the worry in his heart gradually disappeared.
There was no need to continue following him. He no longer thought that Song Wenjing had gone back to call the police to arrest him. So, the young man whistled and left gracefully.
Song Wenjing did not stop, but continued walking. It wasn't until he came to an open area more than half an hour later that he looked back.
There was no one around and there was no place to cover behind him. Only then did Song Wenjing finally relax.
Although he didn't know whether the young man was following him, he still had to be cautious when sailing a thousand-year-old ship.
This place is still two or three miles away from the police station where Zhou Ping is located, and it will take half an hour to walk there, especially since Song Wenjing is still pulling the cart.
Since he no longer noticed anyone following him, Song Wenjing walked towards the police station with confidence and boldness.
At this time, it's almost five o'clock. If I don't go, if I get off work on Monday, it will be quite troublesome to find someone in this era.
What's more, it was getting late and he had to go home. It would take more than two hours to drag more than a hundred kilograms of things from the city.
