Back in the day: Getting rich starts with fixing your radio

Chapter 3

For these agencies and units, the waste paper produced every day is no less than tens of catties.

Just throw it out when you're done using it.

As for taking them to scrap yards to sell for money, they never considered this method. First, it would be embarrassing;

This young man is really the first one to come to collect waste paper on his own initiative.

"Brother, the money I gave may not be much, but it's okay to buy a few popsicles. It's so hot and hard work here. If you get some scraps and sell them to buy popsicles, no one will say anything."

Shen Lin's words immediately moved the middle-aged man. The man glanced at the stack of newspapers piled high in the office, and asked, "How much do you pay for a catty of waste newspapers?"

"Ten catties of waste paper is divided into five."

At that time, the price of a popsicle was two cents.

It would be great to exchange these useless things for a few popsicles, not to mention that those newspapers are piled up, not to mention useless, and they take up space.

"Okay, then tell me how many catties these newspapers weigh." The skinny man waved to a young man and said, "Xiao Li, tidy up those useless waste newspapers, let's sell them to buy popsicles. "

That Xiao Li looked like he was in his early 20s. Hearing what the skinny man said, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Oh, Brother Chen is still thinking about us. It's useless to throw away these newspapers. Changing to popsicles kills two birds with one stone."

Having said that, he pointed to a pile of discarded books and said, "Dude, do you want these books?"

"Yes, since you are all well-educated and educated people, I can give you the price of ten catties and one cent six." Shen Lin smiled innocently, with a sincere look.

"Okay, then come and clean up."

Shen Lin came prepared a long time ago. Seeing that the first deal was completed, he quickly took out a few ropes from his pocket, and quickly tied them up against the books.

In the office, the fan was still spinning, some people were working, some were chatting, except for Xiao Li who found some old newspapers and magazines from time to time, basically no one paid attention to Shen Lin who was tying up things.

It was clean and quick, and within a short while, Shen Lin tied up eight bundles.

He weighed the waste newspapers with a steelyard, and took a deep breath in his heart.

It's less than four hundred catties, and if you calculate the price, it's almost fifty cents.

Tsk tsk, this is only the first transaction, and I almost wiped out my money, it is too cruel!

However, once these waste papers are transported to the waste collection station by themselves, they can make a lot of money, and their own capital will be more sufficient.

The elated Shen Lin took out his only fifty cents, and said in a bold tone: "Brother, you should give you forty-seventy-six cents in total for your waste paper and books. If the change is worthless, forget it. You take the fifty cents."

Yo, there is also a windfall.

The thin old He held fifty cents, and his thin face smiled even more: "Oh, it's not easy for you, this money is a bit too much!"

"It's okay, I'm a freshman for the first time, and I'm an acquaintance for the second time. If you take care of me like this, I naturally can't be stingy with you." Shen Lin still looked naive.

This gesture is easy to win favor with.

Shen Lin is proficient in human affairs and sophistication.

"Hahaha, the young man is not bad!" Lao He patted Shen Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Shen Lin's kindness really won Lao He's favor.

These days, such a sensible young man is rare.

Shen Lin didn't dare to linger, and after a few polite words, he hurried towards the place where he put his flatbed cart. He wanted to make a few more trips while it was still some time before he got off work at noon.

When I was in the office, although the air was hot, the fan that was turning was still somewhat cool.

Now that he ran outside, Shen Lin immediately felt the scorching sun shining on him, and sweat kept dripping out, making his body sticky.

Eight large bundles of used newspapers were bundled up, and the flatbed truck was piled up at once.Facing the scorching sun, Shen Lin felt his throat start to burn.

Drops of sweat continued to flow down his face. Although more than 400 catties of waste paper could be moved, Shen Lin still staggered forward under the scorching sun.

Where did Shen Lin, who was pampered and pampered since childhood, ever do such a job?

According to memory, Shen Lin came to the waste collection station three miles away from home.

This waste collection station is not small. On the rusty gate, there are five bright red characters "Waste Collection Station" on a piece of white iron.

When Shen Lin walked into the purchase station, he saw a fat middle-aged man in blue overalls smoking leisurely.

"Boss, I have some old newspapers and magazines here, what price can you give me?" Shen Lin greeted the fat man and said with a smile on his face.

"Old newspapers cost three cents a catty, and books cost five cents a catty!"

Three percent, five percent!

Hearing the price, Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The price at the waste collection station is a little higher than he remembered.

In other words, he can earn a little more.

"There's a scale over there. Move everything over there, and I'll show you how much it weighs." The fat man took a puff on his cigarette, glanced at Shen Lin's newspaper, and said, "You have a lot of newspapers. Where did you get it?"

"My old uncle's old newspapers from their unit, let me pull them over." Shen Lin said with a smile while turning his mind.

Although there is nothing technical about collecting waste, but fabricating a non-existent backer may play an unexpected role.

The fat man looked at Shen Lin, who was covered in sweat but still looked clean and refreshed, and felt that this young man was different from the old trash pickers.

He smiled and said, "Your old uncle treats you well, by the way, when you are weighing, put the magazines in the book."

This sentence naturally meant something, Shen Lin hurriedly agreed: "Okay, sorry for your inconvenience!"

Putting more than 400 catties of books and newspapers on the scale twice, the fat man leisurely moved the slider on the scale and said: "Books weigh 110 catties, newspapers weigh 290 catties."

While talking, he took a red ticket book and wrote on it: "Go, get the money in the accounting room."

Walking out of the financial room, Shen Lin had a pile of thick bills in his hands.

One yuan, four cents and two cents, this is the money in Shen Lin's hands now.

Holding the money, Shen Lin felt a burst of fire in his heart.

Facing the tap water pipe of the scrap collection station, Shen Lin gulped down his stomach with cold water, and Shen Lin felt much more refreshed!

Humming a little tune, he pulled the flatbed and walked towards the office building again.

"Children, how do you sell ice cream?"

"Ice cream, delicious cream ice cream, five cents a piece!"

A child wearing a straw hat who looked to be in his teens was riding a bicycle.

On the rear rack of the bicycle was a wooden box painted white, covered with a small black and blue checkered quilt.

On the side of the box, the words "big ice cream" are written in red letters.

Shen Lin has not seen this kind of ice cream selling situation for many years.

Shen Lin, who was dripping with sweat, felt his throat dry again.

Although his stomach was full of cold water, he felt extremely thirsty at this moment.

Seeing the business coming, the child stopped the car and said, "Cream ice cream from the No. [-] Ice Cream Factory, packaged, costs five cents a piece, and popsicles cost a penny each. How about a piece?"

Five cents a piece!

Shen Lin smacked his lips, and finally said, "Give me four ice creams...no, four ice creams!"

Shen Lin gritted his teeth.

Four pieces of ice cream, this is a big deal, the kid with the straw hat said in surprise, "Okay, I'll get it for you right now!"

While speaking, the child took out four pieces of ice cream wrapped in green plastic paper and handed them to Shen Lin: "Here, this ice cream is sweet, it tastes like milk!"

Shen Lin took out two cents and handed it to the child. He put four ice creams in the shade under the handlebars and walked towards the office building in three steps.

"Busy!" Shen Lin walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Just now I met a cold drink seller, and I brought some for you guys along the way, everyone, eat it while it's cold, don't melt it."

While speaking, Shen Lin handed over four cream ice creams.

"Yeah! Is there any ice cream?"

Shen Lin's actions greatly exceeded the expectations of the office staff.

It never occurred to them that it would be fine to pay for waste paper from the trash collectors, but they would even take the initiative to give them ice cream.

An ice cream that costs five cents a piece, even the public servants like them, have to hesitate for a long time when buying it, after all, it is too expensive.

Xiao Li looked at the paper wrapped outside the ice cream, and immediately said with emotion: "Oh, it's still cream ice cream, not bad!"

While speaking, he picked up one.

Lao He wanted to hold back, but his throat swallowed disobediently.

"Oh, what are you doing, young man? It's embarrassing to eat your ice cream."

Shen Lin smiled and said: "Look at what you said, I didn't intend to make money at all in this first business. After I got to know everyone, this business will come! Speaking of which, everyone should take care of me!"

While speaking, Shen Lin picked up a piece of ice cream and handed it to Lao He with both hands.

Lao He took the ice cream, and said to the two colleagues who came to the office: "This is Xiao Shen's wish, don't waste it on others."

Although it was a small act to give ice cream, Shen Lin's operation was enough to build a good impression in their hearts.

This young man bought four pieces of ice cream at once, and brought them here sweating profusely. He also lied that he had eaten it. Just because of his thoughts, it is worth moving.

Who doesn't like a young man with a high EQ who knows how to do things?

It's not ice cream, it's the way of the world.
