Back to the scrap yard. After putting away his luggage, Ling Nan observed the environment of the acquisition station.

It is about 1,000 square meters and is surrounded by bricks to form a half-human-high courtyard wall.

Near the gate are two brick bungalows. Scrap steel, plastic bottles and plastic products, scrap copper and aluminum, and waste paper shells are classified and stacked in different areas of the yard. There is a place where gas cuts and welds are placed, which is used to cut large scrap steel.

Not far to the right of the door of the bungalow is a floor scale, which is used to weigh the waste.

Ge Jun arranged for Ling Nan to be responsible for sorting and placing the collected waste every day, including assisting in the loading of waste products. Ge Jun is responsible for weighing, payment, vehicle settlement and temporary scrap placement.

Ling Nan is diligent, although he has no salary, but in order to learn, he also recognizes the hardships here. Ge Jun was very satisfied with Ling Nan. Under the care of Ling Nan, the classification and management of waste products are well organized and easy to load.

Seeing that Ge Jun was satisfied with his work, there were more exchanges.

After dinner, he asked Ge Jun some questions about scrap acquisition and delivery acquisition of customers, Ge Jun felt that he and Ling Nan got along very harmoniously, and Ling Nan was more realistic, and did not play any tricks or be lazy.

"Why don't you hire a helper when you're so busy every day?" Ling Nan asked.

"Busy is busy, but you can always be busy, and it's not like this every day, isn't it okay to pay people a salary if you recruit one more person? Originally, I didn't make much money from this acquisition station, and it was not cost-effective to catch up with the cost of one person. Ge Jun shook his head and said.

Ling Nan felt that although Ge Jun had the shrewd calculations of a small businessman, he was very picky. But relatively speaking, people are quite kind, kind-hearted, and they don't need to be paid to work here, and they don't need to be paid for food and housing, which is a clear conscience for Ge Jun. Therefore, Ge Jun also explained Ling Nan's questions and answered Ling Nan seriously without hesitation.

From Ge Jun's mouth, Ling Nan also learned that the original scrap collection station also had several large customers for fixed waste, such as supermarkets, large shopping malls, restaurants, and nearby factories.

Every day, they will produce a large number of waste packaging cartons, waste plastic bottles, scrap steel and other items, and some will send a batch every two or three days. In addition, the surrounding communities scattered the waste products sent by the ragged ones, the waste products sent by the nearby people, don't look down on the inconspicuous small waste collection station, the business is really unexpected, and the life is more comfortable.

Ling Nan observed that the business of the scrap collection station is okay, and there are many people who come to sell waste products every day, especially waste cartons, books, newspapers, waste beverage bottles, and waste plastics, which accumulate very quickly, and generally send out two or three trucks a week.

Ling Nan followed the vehicle to transport waste products five times, took the initiative to establish a good relationship with the driver, and learned about various waste products from different bulk waste acquisition manufacturers, such as waste cartons, waste paper, plastics, iron, copper and aluminum, and the approximate purchase price, and understood the gap between the bulk waste purchases in different regions, as well as the cost of long-distance and short-distance transportation. The mastery of this information is also an important basis for him to further understand the scrap purchase market.

He calculated an account, earning 600 yuan for a car of three tons, and 6,000 yuan for 10 cars in January; plus the monthly income of waste plastic products is more than 2,000 yuan; A car of scrap steel is 2,000 yuan, copper and aluminum are more than 1,000 yuan, and this small purchasing station has a gross monthly income of at least 11,000 yuan. I went to the site rent and food labor, and I could leave 7,000 yuan per month, no problem. It's still a small-scale acquisition station.

Looking at this flow, in addition to the upfront cost of one-time investment, the daily week does not need much liquidity, and it can be turnover. The cost of the site is enough for five or six thousand a year, a one-time investment of 700 yuan for the purchase of tools for collecting waste products, 500 yuan for the layout of the sorting area, 500 yuan for catering tools and cutting tools, etc., plus working capital, the total amount of 10,000 yuan should be enough.

He remembered Ge Jun's words, the scrap yard is in business, the business is in the people, some people can make money if they run it well, some people can only make a living, and some have to lose money. It's really not easy.

You see that I seem to be making money here, but you don't see when I lose money. You have to calculate this, otherwise it won't work.

In the end, I heard Ge Jun say that if the business is good, some acquisition stations can earn 150,000 or 60,000 yuan a year. Even he first heard that others could make so much money by opening scrap yards.

Earn 150,000 or 60,000 a year Ling Nan was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't expect that an inconspicuous scrap yard could make so much money, which was really surprising to him.

However, Ling Nan observed that Ge Jun's acquisition station had great defects, with few large customers and few bulk scraps, and it was basically a scattered purchase. Moreover, the high-value steel, copper and aluminum scrap is even less pitiful. It stands to reason that there are many machining enterprises in the city, and he should at least develop a customer resource, but he does not.

Moreover, his purchasing station can also use the purchased scrap steel materials to process some finished products and utensils to achieve higher value and buy greater benefits, but he did not do it.

Ling Nan was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he thought so, but for him, after all, he had never done it, was there still some reason why he couldn't do it? How deep the water was, he didn't know. As for whether he can do it, he feels that he can't stand the toss for the time being, and he is still almost hot.

The main reason is that he doesn't have so much money in his hands, and he has only saved more than 10,000 yuan after more than a year of begging, which is still the result of the unexpected partial harvest he got from catching up with the handouts and beatings of his classmates at the beginning, the money Xiaoya gave him and his frugality.

Without money, courage and courage alone will not do. He decided to continue saving for a while longer, and when he had made enough money, he would make the next move.

Sure enough, as Xiaoya expected, she followed Ling Nan for a few days and determined what she had in mind, so she made a decision, and then she went back to start a business and tide over the difficulties with Ling Nan.

A week passed, and at dinner in the evening, Ling Nan said to Ge Jun: "Big brother, I want to find a job, I can't go on like this, I still have to live in the future, but now I have no place to live, big brother, do you think this will work?" You let me live with you first, and I will go to work during the day, and when I come back at night, I will help you collect the waste. ”

Ling Nan couldn't tell Ge Jun that I was going to try to set up a scrap yard, but the money wasn't enough at the moment, so I had to beg to save money. can only conceal that he is looking for a job to do. It's not a lie, and begging isn't also a job to do.

Ge Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay brother, it's very difficult to see you, it's really not a matter if you go on like this, I can't give you much money here, you should really find a job to do, so let's do it, according to what you said, you live here first, at least I have someone to chat with, and I won't be lonely." As for whether you come back at night to work or not is secondary, if you find a place to live later, it's not too late to move out,"

"Okay, big brother, let's settle it like this." Ling Nan and Ge Jun drank a little wine and chatted excitedly until late.
