Speaking of myself, I have also engaged in second-hand car dismantling, the company's first car with the air conditioning compressor, because Aisin Seiki's new machine quotation is too outrageous, and in the end is not the second-hand car dismantling parts used, how long has it been, and I have forgotten about it?

It's not a good habit to forget your roots.

After knocking lightly on the table twice, Chen Geng said, "Go, come with me." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah, what, go to the car dismantling company, let's go and see what kind of conditions these car dismantling companies can give. ”

........................

As the Motor City of the United States, Detroit is of course a little different from other big cities: Normally, there are only one or two car dismantling companies in medium and large cities, but Detroit is different, they have three! Coincidentally, it is less than 20 kilometers away from the nearest scrapped car dismantling company to Fernandez Auto Sales.

"Coming to shop for parts?" I probably saw a lot of people who came here to wander around, saw Chen Geng and Anderson who appeared at the door in a pickup truck, and the guard at the door of the scrapped car dismantling company glanced lazily at it, and said casually: "A car is 20 dollars, and the things are not allowed to exceed 200 pounds, and the entry and exit need to be weighed, and the excess weight must be added, there is no time for a day, and the sun must come out before it sets, pay the money." ”

Chen Geng: "......"

For $20, you can take 200 pounds, or about 95 kilograms, with parts, which is still for the occasional individual who comes here looking for parts, and if you work with this dismantling company for a long time, you can think of how much benefit it will be with your toes. Thinking of the money he had spent to buy parts before, Chen Geng suddenly felt that he had spent the money so wrongly.

On the contrary, Anderson was excited: the 5% was set by himself, but he didn't know how much more money he could get a month? I don't know if there was $500?

Chen Geng, who felt that he had suffered a loss from the boss, quickly adjusted his mood and said to the guard: "We are not here to find parts, we are here to talk to your boss about cooperation, is your boss here?"

"If you're lucky, our boss happens to be here today, but ...... Are you really looking for our boss to talk about cooperation?" The guard frowned, and looked at Chen Geng and Anderson with a wary face: "Tell you, you don't want to go in and steal things in the name of looking for our boss." ”

"We can leave the car outside," Chen Geng didn't bother to argue with the other party, and casually stuffed $10 in his hand as he spoke: "Of course, if you believe us, you can also let us drive the car in." ”

"Okay," the power of $10 is huge, for the sake of the $10 face, the guard decided to give Chen Geng face, and most importantly, Chen Geng and Anderson are not dressed like those guys who occasionally come here to pan for gold: "You can drive the car in, but when you come out, I have to check your body." ”

"No problem. Chen Geng nodded.

....................................

Michael, the owner of this scrap car scrapping factory, is a typical American, and the so-called typical American means that this guy is a typical white American big fat man, because he is so obese that even though it is not yet April, the air conditioning in this guy's office has been turned on.

At this moment, Michael was looking at Chen Geng and Anderson with a surprised expression: "Do you mean to cooperate with my car dismantling car......?"

"I am the owner of Fernandez Automobile Sales Company," Chen Geng said, "mainly engaged in second-hand car sales, maintenance and car modification business......

"Aha......" Before Chen Geng's words were finished, the big fat man Michael suddenly became excited: "I know you, I've heard of you, you're the mysterious oriental magician, right?"

it!

Has Lao Tzu's fame spread so far?

Michael's reaction made Chen Geng a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that his fame was so big that even the fat man in front of him had heard of it, but in this case, why didn't anyone come to him to cast spells? Could it be that his "God Territory Theory" also spread out?

However, a little popularity is not a bad thing, Chen Geng nodded with a smile: "If you are talking about the Eastern magician who can eliminate the bad luck and curse on the car, then it should be me who is right, but I declare, I ......"

"Ha! it's really you!" Before Chen Geng finished speaking, Michael interrupted Chen Geng's words excitedly: "Mr. Fernandez, it's such an honor to meet you, I am your loyal admirer, I saw the way you drove that Ferrari 212 on the road that day, I will never forget it!"

"It's my pleasure. Chen Geng nodded politely, he had seen a lot of this situation, not surprising.

However, the mysterious Oriental magician obviously couldn't delay Michael to make money, and after a while of greetings, he took the initiative to ask: "So, Mr. Fernandez, how do you want to cooperate with me? ”

Chen Geng didn't go around the pass, and said bluntly: "I also said just now, in addition to second-hand car sales, I also have a business in car maintenance, I hope to be able to come to you to disassemble some parts, I hope this cooperation is long-term and fixed, and I also hope that you can give me a preferential price." ”

"Well," said Michael, who immediately regained his true colors as a merchant at the mention of money, even if sitting across from him was a magician from the mysterious East. Although he was a little surprised by Chen Geng's request, he was not surprised, after all, he had seen a lot of guys who came to buy parts: "Of course you can, but there are two problems." ”

Chen Geng nodded: "You say." ”

"Number one, I don't have enough manpower here," said Michael, "Mr. Fernandez, you know, disassembling parts is a very labor-intensive thing, and you can't do it mechanically, you have to do it by hand, so I can't give you manpower, you have to find someone to do it yourself." ”

"OK, no problem. Chen Geng agreed, he didn't expect the other party to be able to disassemble the parts and put them on the shelves, waiting for his own selection.

Seeing that Chen Geng agreed, Michael breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The second point is the price. ”

"Well, you say. ”

"Since it's a long-term cooperation, the price you can get is of course much cheaper than the price of those guys who come sporadically," Michael said slyly, "but because you take away all the spare parts that can be used, the price is ......."

Anderson knew that he had to speak at this time, and immediately stepped forward and said, "But if we don't buy it, you can only sell it as scrap metal." ”

"You're right, if you don't come, we're really going to have to sell it as scrap," Michael doesn't deny: "But now you're here, you have demand, and we have supply, so the price is definitely not the same as before." ”

Anderson's face turned red with anger: "How can you ...... like this"

It was Chen Geng, who somewhat understood what Michael wanted to do, and stopped Anderson, Chen Geng said, "You go on." ”

"So even if you dismantle the parts yourself, we can't sell them to you as scrap metal," said Michael, looking "I've got you!" and smugly, "We're going to do it by weight, 20 cents a pound." ”

"20 cents a pound?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically.

"That's right. ”

"When I entered the door, the security guard told me that 20 dollars and 200 pounds, which is converted into 10 cents for a pound," Chen Geng looked at Michael with a smile: "I bought it from you in large quantities, and the price is twice as expensive as the occasional guy?"

"Huh?" Michael was dumbfounded: "Is that so?"

Chen Geng didn't bother to speak, pointed to the calculator on the table, and motioned for him to calculate by himself.

Of course, the result was embarrassing, Chen Geng was right, the price Michael sold to individual customers was 10 cents per pound, and the price he sold to Chen Geng, a big customer, became 20 cents per pound, but this guy's skin was thick enough, and he didn't blush, so he laughed: "Ha...... That's if I miscalculated, how about 8 cents a pound for you?"

Anderson quit.

Seeing that the opportunity came, he immediately jumped out, blushing and arguing with Michael: "Eight cents a pound?

Facing the angry Anderson, Michael shrugged his shoulders disappreciably and said, "I know this price is a bit expensive, but it's ......"

A look of "I'm just killing you, you bite me if you have the ability".

Anderson was angry and wanted to argue with Michael, but Chen Geng laughed, originally he thought the price of 8 cents a pound was very good, but now......

Holding Anderson, Chen Geng looked at Michael and said: "Mr. Michael, there are three scrapped car dismantling companies in the whole of Detroit, you are not my only choice, if you can't give me a satisfactory price, I don't mind cooperating with another company, and you don't want to run away with such a business, right?"

Chen Geng's words were poked into Michael's heart, Michael threatened Chen Geng with "If you want a bargain, you have to put up with me to slaughter you", and Chen Geng replied forcefully with "I can accept your high price, but if the few you offer are too outrageous, Lao Tzu will change companies to cooperate, so that you can't earn a penny of benefits! Don't think that we have a choice for you" to answer this guy strongly.

PS: I really can't find out how much scrap iron in the late 70s is a pound, and I can only vaguely remember that in the late 80s and early 90s, the recycling price of scrap iron was more than three cents, just use this as a reference and subtract some, a penny and a pound should not be much worse.
