Chapter 25: It's really full of gold

Fang Bai had lunch, and then took a rickshaw to Yaming Electronic Recycling Company.

This is a relatively large company that specializes in recycling electronic products.

The electronic warehouse site covers an area of twenty or thirty acres, and there are many bosses on the site who come to dig out the goods.

Fang Bai's goal was to import foreign garbage from TV sets, and what caught his eye was a mountain of dilapidated TVs, many of which were in good condition.

Traders mainly collect useful TV parts, or repair usable TVs, and then cobble together and refurbish them for sale.

That's what Fang Bai wanted to do.

Ordinary Chinese people don't understand why foreigners don't want these things, and Fang Bai couldn't understand it before.

Isn't a bad TV worthless?

If you think about it deeply, it is easy to understand that it is not like machinery and equipment, even if you sell scrap iron, you can sell it for a lot of money.

But not with televisions, where the worthless plastic casing and glass take up a lot of weight, and the valuable ones are the wires and deflection coils, which contain copper wires about ten times more expensive than iron.

The weight of the copper wire contained in a TV is not much, and it is troublesome to disassemble.

In the case of a solids recycling plant in the future, wires and deflection coils will be directly recycled, and the remaining parts such as glass and shells will be crushed into granules and sorted and sold through professional separation and screening methods.

Products such as phosphors, electron guns and circuit boards will be further refined to obtain metals such as rare earths, copper and gold and silver.

But the solid recycling plant processing method of this era is relatively rough,Due to the lack of professional maintenance and testing personnel,Low technical level,It is unlikely to be as professional screening as later generations,Generally, it is not classified and directly crushed and refined,Only TV parts with better quality are picked out,Let those refurbished customers choose。

If it is not a solid recycling factory, like the general buyers of second-hand TVs, they mainly look at the copper on the deflection coils, wires and transformers in the TV, and other parts have no recycling value, or the recycling cost is high.

In developed countries, labor costs are high, and the average family will not dismantle these coils and wires that are worthless to them, and useless or outdated TVs are directly thrown away as garbage.

When Chinese people see this market, they have a special collection of these electronic wastes, as long as they pay the shipping fee to transport them to China, they have no capital to buy and sell.

Therefore, undismantled TVs and circuit boards are sold by the ton.

Now the TV is a bestseller, with a long service life, and most families will not replace it within a few years after buying one, as if it is a family heirloom.

Like Panda, Feiyue, Konka and other domestic brands of new 14-inch black and white TVs, the new sales of two or three hundred yuan, Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic and other imported brands to double the price.

A few years ago, domestic 14-inch black-and-white TVs were still sold for three or four hundred yuan, and the price fell relatively quickly.

If it is a new color TV, like the imported 29-inch Sony, the price is more than 10,000, and the 21-inch will cost four or five thousand yuan.

CRT color TV is the mainstream type of color TV today, using cathode ray tube technology, and the screen is a sunken glass panel.

At this time, there are few domestic color TV poles,The picture quality is too poor,Small size,Even so,The market is still in short supply。

In these years, the family has no mortgage and car loan, and there are few types of materials that can be bought, and most of the family's income is used to improve their lives, thousands of TVs, tens of thousands of motorcycles, and they can buy them when they say they can.

Later generations want to understand that a family of 10,000 yuan spends thousands of yuan to buy a color TV, which is not good for starting a business or buying a house?

If you don't know the future housing prices, don't know that the future electronics are not worth anything, don't know how fast the currency depreciates, don't know ...... That's understandable.

If you have money saved and you have nowhere to spend it, what else can you do!

Right.

In later generations, there are a dazzling array of goods, spicy crayfish delicacies, a few hundred yuan can hug the princess in KTV, cars, houses, online shopping that can't be stopped, and helpless bride price, but the money can be spent more.

Just like Fang Bai wants to go to have a chic time now, it is troublesome to find a car to sit in, the transportation is inconvenient, and there is no Internet, the best entertainment is to stay at home and watch TV.

Every night, villagers take flashlights to other homes to watch TV, which is a common phenomenon in rural areas.

Therefore, watching TV is an indispensable part of people's lives, and it is also the main medium for obtaining information sources from the outside world.

Fang Bai retracted his thoughts, walked into the TV sorting venue, and like other customers, he could watch it at will, and some bosses took someone to move the selected TV to an empty area, and finally weighed and counted the money.

A good black-and-white TV, regardless of the specification brand, costs 700-900 yuan a ton, like a 14-inch black-and-white TV, a 10-12 kg weight, and a thousand yuan can buy about 100 units.

Color TV is more expensive,Better quality to2500Yuan a ton,The size of the specification is mainly 21 inches,A small number of 14 inches and 29 inches,There are very few larger sizes,At present, the largest on the market is 34 inches。

These good prices are too expensive for most owners who are engaged in renovations, and it also takes a lot of time to detect where there is a problem, and the technical requirements are too high, so they generally do not choose this.

The price of the TV with the difference in quality is relatively cheap, and there are complete parts that have been dismantled, which is the goal of the customer.

Fang Bai touched a 21-inch Toshiba color TV produced in 1988 and found that the picture tube and screen were all good, and the bad parts were: there were two capacitors on the circuit board, the horn was broken, and the degaussing coil was broken.

If you know where it's broken, it's not difficult to repair it.

Fang Bai only needs to hire someone who knows a little bit about the circuit, mark the problematic parts for people to repair, and it doesn't take too much time to fix them, and then refurbish the TV.

Imported color TVs that were sold at an original price of about 4,000 yuan, will no one want them if they sell for 1,000 or even a few hundred yuan?

As for the cost?

It weighs about 20 kilograms, and the purchase price is about 50 yuan.

Counting the cost of transportation, labor maintenance, the purchase of new parts and refurbishment, and other costs, and then the cost of sales and other costs, it is estimated to be about 100 yuan.

Several times the profit!

Lying down, what a huge profit!

Of course, things are here, and you have to have the technology to do it.

Having the ability is like picking up money, in this era, there are so many opportunities to get rich.

However, the vast majority of people do not have the ability to do so and do not know this information.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monopoly business.

"It's really gold everywhere, it depends on whether you have the ability to make it."

Fang Bai thought to himself, pleasantly surprised, it was too easy to flip to a TV that was easy to renovate.

If others can't do it, he can do it easily!

He has read a lot of fantasy novels, and everyone finds a treasure map, and as a result, the most important treasures are all picked up by the protagonist.

Now, Fang Bai is just like the protagonist in the novel, such a TV foreign garbage dump seems to be a Taobao map specially set up for Fang Bai!

I am not afraid that others will take too much, and this kind of treasure is constantly sent to China from abroad.

The domestic TV market is too big, and the supply exceeds demand!

It's so damn so cool!

This kind of coolness is different from the coolness of making a lot of money.

Relaxed, free, and not too competitive.

It's a pleasure!
