Chapter 50: Cheap Raw Materials
"One dollar and one pound?!!! brother, I won't tell you, my battery cost almost 10 yuan and 1 yuan!. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info... The person on the other side sent a series of crying faces, Wang Fen's machete was too ruthless.
Now Wang Fen, whose face is getting thicker and his heart is darkening, is unmoved, and the tragic appearance of the person opposite also reminds Wang Fen that shopping malls are like battlefields, and one wrong step is a catastrophe, that is, there is nothing.
What about the original cost of ten yuan, no one wants to give the battery to others in vain, the battery is not another item, the waste battery basically has no recycling value, and some substances in the battery are toxic and pollute the environment.
For example, some countries have implemented new regulations on the management of waste battery recycling. The regulations require that used dry batteries, button batteries and other types of batteries be sent to stores or recycling stations for recycling, and the stores and recycling stations must unconditionally accept used batteries and transfer them to disposal manufacturers for recycling. At the same time, they also implement a deposit system for toxic nickel-cadmium batteries and mercury-containing batteries, that is, consumers buy a certain deposit for each battery, and when consumers exchange the used batteries, the deposit can be automatically deducted from the price.
And those waste batteries are only dissolved or burned to extract metals, these costs are very high, in foreign countries there are government subsidies, there is no subsidy in China, basically no one does these things, are thrown away to pollute the environment.
"Brother, add some more. After a while, seeing that Wang Fen did not respond, he sent another message, and the man's heart was also dripping blood. I think that when his business was good, let alone a few hundred yuan, he didn't bother to ask about the transaction of thousands of yuan. A month has come and gone, millions of people, spending all day and drinking left and right, and now it is miserable to fall to this point.
"I don't think it's easy for you, boss, it's all hard-earned money, so let's do it, a fixed price, 500 yuan! Otherwise, people won't give you a penny if you send it to the scrap station." Wang Fen felt that he was really not a profiteer, although those batteries could be sold for a good price after almost zero cost transformation after arriving with him. But these waste batteries are only worth so much money now, and no one can fry a bowl of emperor egg fried rice for 1,000 yuan and sell 500 yuan of eggs to him.
"You pay the freight, and the deal is done. The other side was also in a hurry to run away, gritting his teeth with tears and agreeing, this production failure led to the destruction of decades of blood, and this pile of waste was left. However, 500 yuan is also money, and the previously planned running ticket can be upgraded, from a hard seat to a sleeper, and the extra money can also be used to stay in a hotel with a single room for two days and add a few meals.
"No problem!" Wang Fen is not a person who falls into the ground, and happily agreed to bear the freight, although the freight is basically more than two hundred, but if the other side pays the freight, the person basically can't get any money, and he still can't be too desperate.
Next, the two discussed the specific transaction method, X-treasure transaction, freight collect. Soon the link was sent, and Wang Fen immediately took an anonymous second shot, paid instantly, and was very happy.
Just when Wang Fen was about to say goodbye offline, the man sent another message: "I still have a batch of scrapped power banks, is my brother interested?"
Just now he was a brother, and now he has become a big brother, Wang Fen feels that money is really a wonderful thing, he feels that the other side is still a little old, hey, the title of doing business is the most worthless, is it to become an uncle after buying that batch of charging treasures.
"Are you interested in seeing how your goods are, send a picture, and why are you so invalid?" Wang Fen replied with a message.
"Don't mention it, it's all tears. In the past few months, business has been bad, there has not been much work, and several masters have resigned. I ruthlessly mortgaged the house and car, developed a new power bank, and then produced a batch of real materials and high imitation fruit batteries to make a last stand, a turnaround, the result of the new workers have no experience at all, I was not careful, they invalidated the battery and the power bank, this time there is nothing, all over. My wife and children have also run away, and the house and car are gone... After a while, I sent a lot of words, and finally I started to complain about my suffering, and then I sent a bunch of photos.
Wang Fen saw that those photos were all parts of the power bank that had not yet been assembled, the shell was still very beautiful, and it looked very high-end, it should have cost a lot of money, and the appearance of the battery cell seemed to be okay, but it was all unusable.
It seems that this is the end of a small workshop-style manufacturer, not that the carp jumps the dragon gate to become bigger and stronger, and there is no such thing as one in a hundred. There is also a fight like the other one, and then die clean. But if you are smarter, you will start buying houses everywhere after making some money, and you will close your doors after a few years and become a charter company.
On the other side, he lost everything, died clean and ready to run away. Wang Fen carefully studied those photos, although the shell is very beautiful, but the size is relatively small like the battery cell, and such a power bank has no market in the current market that only competes for capacity.
Many charging treasures on the market have to make a stationery box with a large shell to look powerful and domineering, which looks large and thick and magnificent. The boss also wanted to make some high-capacity, small-size, light-weight power banks in a down-to-earth manner, but unfortunately failed, and this society just can't do business honestly.
"I don't have much use for this power bank, so let's do it, three cents a catty, how many catties do you have?" Wang Fen felt that the price could still be charged.
"Big brother, don't keep counting by the pound, my shell and other accessories can still be used, I only made a batch of goods, a total of 10,000 sets, everything is counted, how about three cents a set?"
"Your shell is so small, and the appearance is too unconventional, not domineering at all. It's just a white shell, and it has to be printed, how to sell it now, which power bank is not casually tens of thousands of milliamperes, I see that brother, you are also losing to Mars, so let's do it, the highest price of five cents a pound is half the price of the fruit battery, and it can't be higher. Wang Fen looked at the other side too miserably, and his compassion attacked, and the direct purchase price almost doubled.
The two went back and forth, and finally 2,000 yuan was sold. As usual, the opposite side quickly sent a link over, Wang Fen paid in seconds, and the other side promised to deliver the goods on the same day.
Now the raw materials are available, and these tens of thousands of batteries and charging treasures are enough for Wang Fen to use for a long time, and it is estimated that the arrival time should be about four days, so then we have to consider the place and sales of the work.
Now Wang Fen lives in a rented one-bedroom apartment, which can only be described as a house with four walls, which is indeed too small. If there were so many goods in the room, he would only have to sleep on the batteries, and in case those batteries exploded, then he would have to go to the previous owner of the mothership.
However, before renting a house, Wang Fen calculated how much capital he still had. It cost 2,500 yuan to buy the used battery, and it cost another 500 yuan to buy a mobile phone. At the beginning, the three thousand he earned from the panda performance were all used up, and he had spent all his pocket money for several months in order to buy a fruit mobile phone that had been scorched by thunder, and then he would have to use his old money to spend money again.
