National Tide 1980.

Chapter 6

The ground was full of thick dust.

Ning Weimin stepped on torn cotton shoes on his feet and walked into the junkyard in a hurry, as if he had turned on the effect of the Corrosion Halo.

But he still can't get to work directly.

Because there were at least a dozen unkempt guys on the "hills" of the garbage dump, noticing his coming.

They all stopped what they were doing, and stared at him with a two-tooth hook or a wire rake in hand.

Those eager eyes were like a bunch of bandits looking at a traveler who was going down a mountain.

But don't look at this scene quite scary, but in fact Ning Weimin knows it.

What these people yearn for is not his life, but what is in his bag.

So he didn't hesitate at all, and walked over to a strong man in his 40s who was resting next to him with a cigarette in his mouth.

Then take one bottle of Sanda soy sauce, one bottle of bulk vinegar, two bottles of loose liquor, one dozen white wax, and two bottles of berberine from the bag.

All of them were placed in front of this strong man nicknamed "General".

Seeing these things, the strong man nodded, expressing satisfaction.

Reaching out and picking up the wine bottle, he unscrewed the cap and took a sip directly to his mouth.

When the other unkempt guys saw the "General"'s delightful appearance, they all grinned and smiled, showing their charred teeth.

At this point, Ning Weimin really got the qualification to enter "Baoshan" to make a fortune that day.

Speaking of which, it is not uncommon for this scene like a "tribute" to the head of Hanako from the beggar gang.

Because Ning Weimin is not the only smart person in the world.

Long before he discovered this treasured land, it had already been dominated by blind men and women who gathered together from different places in the south, the sea, and the north for more than a dozen days.

The strong man in front of him, called "General", established his personal prestige by force and became the leader of the gang.

And like the boss of all industries, the "general" also hopes to maximize the interests of himself and this small gang.

To this end, the "General" also promulgated two rules that almost all gangs follow.

One is that all members of the dump must pay him "tributes" to ensure that his life is the most comfortable.

The second is to protect the ecological environment, he does not allow any outsider to come here to "mining".

There is no doubt that this is the prototype of the gang that monopolized waste scavenging in the first place.

In theory, as long as they are here, it is impossible for anyone to approach the garbage dump and make a fortune from it.

But the problem is that Ning Weimin has already been forced to this point, how can he return empty after seeing Baoshan?

As an orphan, Ning Weimin not only went to university in his last life.

Moreover, he plunged into the speculative industry with one head, and learned to pick cakes on the ground after others, and he actually had a small success.

This in itself proves that his IQ is not low, and he is quite adaptable to society.

This kind of ability, to put it bluntly, is that the mind is more open-minded, plus the ability to speak well.

In addition, he is a traveler, and his vision and knowledge have far surpassed this era.

Then after thinking about it, it is not difficult for him to find that he has an advantage that he can take advantage of - the capital account.

It is also easy to understand that if the blind streamers want to survive in the capital, they will inevitably face a shortage of non-staple food and light industrial commodities like Old Man Kang.

So Ning Weimin not only did not retreat in spite of the difficulties, but instead faced the difficulties and took the initiative to try to negotiate with the "general".

His proposal is to exchange some restricted distribution materials that must be purchased by non-staple food books in exchange for the "mining rights" of the garbage dump.

Not to mention, it turns out that Ning Weimin saw it accurately and really grasped the key to solving the problem.

You must know that the most feared thing for these blind streamers who have homes and do not return is to be questioned and sent back home.

Otherwise, how could the group of them run off to a garbage dump far from the city to make a living?

And regardless of the dirty smell, do you have to live near the garbage dump?

This group of people, apart from selling scraps, would not even dare to enter the city easily on weekdays, and only went to the small shops in the nearby villages to buy things.

Not to mention the limited shopping resources, even ordinary soy sauce, vinegar, oil, salt, candle batteries, they are lacking.

In fact, for this suggestion, it is impossible to refuse even if you want to refuse, it is simply impossible to ask for.

So it hit it off on the spot, and the only point the "General" emphasized was to keep Ning Weimin's mouth shut.

Ask him to promise, not to reveal the situation here, and not to invite others.

In this way, Ning Weimin temporarily became a member of the garbage dump by providing the service of purchasing and began to help the blind streamers bring things from the city every day.

For this reason, in this gang, he also obtained a nickname that is convenient for everyone to call - "purchasing".

It must be said that although picking up rubbish here suffers, it makes a fortune.

There is a world of difference from rummaging through the trash cans in the city to get some waste paper.

Those factories are really generous, and they are willing to throw away any precious things.

Lead lump, aluminum plate, copper wire, iron plate, iron chain...

The garbage dump is like a small hardware factory, you can get what you want.

Ning Weimin sold more than seven yuan in the first day, and then with more experience, he earned more and more every day.

But the bad part is that the blind streamers love to take advantage of him, and they face him as an outsider in the form of a gang.

So almost every time he brought something, Ning Weimin always had to suffer a loss and compensated him.

It means that the more things he buys for the blind streamers, the more he loses himself.

Like this time, the things that Ning Weimin brought were the orders that the blind streamers gave him yesterday.

Soy sauce is [-] cents, vinegar is [-] cents, two bottles of white wine are [-] cents, a dozen white wax is [-] cents, and berberine is [-] cents.

He paid three dollars and sixty-five cents in total, plus an industrial coupon.

But the "general" listened to his account, and finally handed him only three dirty bills.

The words on the lips are even more irritating.

"Take off the fraction, even if your kid pays the management fee."

And this is precisely the reason why Kang Shude finally warned Ning Weimin when he was about to go out.

It was because he was afraid that he was too young to be able to handle it clearly, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit angry and went to the truth.

But to be honest, old man Kang was worried for nothing.

Since he was living in a side door, Ning Weimin had to deal with sperm from all walks of life every day in his previous life.

Not only has he long since understood that he should be a grandson when he should be a grandson, and that he should be a grandfather when he should be a grandfather.

He is also good at how to grab meat from other people's bowls while his peers are not paying attention.

And when he especially likes to cheat people, let people help him count the votes, and treat him as a good person.

Now that I've been in the garbage dump with this gang of idiots, I've been working together for ten days, and I have almost grasped the situation that should be found out.

So today Ning Weimin decided to change the way of playing and make money back.

"I won't take the money. When I leave, can we just change it for copper?"

"How to calculate?"

"Just according to the purchase price. You have a scale, right? After you have weighed the amount, you can convert it."

"That's fine, just do it."

To be honest, "General" couldn't understand why Ning Weimin had to do such a thankless thing.

So I felt that Ning Weimin was an idiot.

But for him, it wasn't bad.

It not only saves the calf turning, and goes to the waste collection station two kilometers away, but also avoids the danger of being interrogated by the public security.

So he still agreed.

And I am afraid it has to be said that the realm of human beings is too different.

In fact, who is more stupid than who?

People who often think of others as fools are the real fools themselves.

(PS: Here is a typical example at the end. Some comments in the back think that the factory will throw the broken copper and iron into the garbage dump, and it is ridiculous not to sell it for money. I think it is impossible to wait for Ning Weimin and the others to pick it up. I understand Such a feeling. It’s like when I was in junior high school, I was surprised when I heard the teacher say that capitalist countries would pour out milk and not give it to the poor. I doubt that the teacher is lying. I know how to understand the problem from my own perspective, but I don’t understand the history and objective conditions. First, almost 80.00% of the factories in Beijing are gathered in the Dabeiyao area, but there is only one garbage dump. The garbage dumping is particularly concentrated. Second, the factories have designated materials The recycling station will collect industrial waste separately and sell them together. But the executors are not diligent. This is different from saving toothpaste skins at home and selling meat and bones. Therefore, there are a lot of odds and ends in the cleaning workshop every day Small items are left out. This principle is like the waste paper in the trash can of the school. Third, the factory has a system, a guard, and a security department. And not everyone thinks about being able to exchange money, and is a smart person who dares to exchange money. No amount of chicken thieves can remove all the metal before the factory cleans up the garbage. So in summary, the situation of the eastern suburbs garbage dump has become an "unbelievable" reality for smart people. I believe that in the future, such problems will still be Indispensable. So the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. In other words, it is a rare fate for an author to meet readers who really like his books and can understand them.)
