National Tide 1980.

Chapter 8 Requirements

Looking at the sun, it was probably around two in the afternoon.

Ning Weimin roughly placed his gains, raised his two-toothed hook, and shouted at the blind streamers.

"Hey! I'm leaving. Whoever wants me to bring something, hurry up and register."

This is his habit. Once his stomach feels hungry, it is time for him to call it a day.

For health reasons, he did not allow himself to continue to work in such a harsh environment while starving.

In addition, it is only at this time that he can go home comfortably by car, avoiding the crowded buses during the evening rush hour after get off work.

To put it bluntly, picking up junk is just a last resort for him, and selling time and labor to make money is just helpless.

His nature relishes indolence and opportunism.

There is no plan to be the king of junk for a long time and then be promoted to environmental protection tycoon.

In the future direction of life, naturally, you have to make easy money.

However, his ideas and ideals are beyond the comprehension and imagination of these blind streamers.

All they knew was that if Ning Weimin didn't get there before the store closed, he wouldn't be able to buy things for them all.

Therefore, almost all of them are full of sympathy for Ning Weimin's situation.

It's a pity that he comes and goes all the way every day, but has so little time to make a fortune.

When the "General" walked towards Ning Weimin with three blind liuzi, everyone was talking about cheap words.

"'Purchasing', we're leaving now? Haven't you been addicted yet?"

"It's a pity for you. The time is lost on the road. The most valuable garbage is often delivered in the afternoon and evening."

"That's right, you should live with us and dig whenever you want. That's a good deal."

"Hey, but your little physique is too thin. You have to eat more and grow stronger so that you can get rich..."

And this was also used by Ning Weimin.

He just took this to make his request.

"Yeah, yeah, I can't compare with you, how can you have the strength? So, since I've made it convenient for you to buy things, can you also think about it for me and make it convenient for me?"

Seeing that several blind liuzi were stunned when they heard this, Ning Weimin explained further.

"Look at it. The things I pick up every day are too messy, and I put them together, and it's not easy to take them. I have to sell them first before I can buy them for you, right? Can I do this? Converted to copper pieces."

At this time, looking at the expressions, a few blind streamers understood, but they were obviously still a little hesitant.

Ning Weimin naturally knew what they were worried about, so he added an explanation.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. The price is based on the price of the junkyard. If the amount exceeds, I will definitely pay you back, whether you want something or money, it's fine."

"How? I just want to move forward lightly. Are you still worried about me?"

"I said, that's how things were done yesterday. If you don't believe me, ask the 'General'..."

Hearing that he was mentioned, "General" quickly took out a copper tube, put it on the weighing pan in the other hand, and made an appointment in person.

"That's right, I still owe you three dollars, right? It's supposed to be good. I'll pay for this copper pipe. Look, you're taking advantage of a pound or two."

To be honest, Ning Weimin just wanted to scold the street at this time.

Because he could tell at a glance that the "General" was playing tricks on him in front of him.

There was definitely a lot of dirt stuffed in that copper pipe.

Throw it on the scale and smoke straight up, and the weight should definitely be underestimated by two taels.

But even if he knew it, he couldn't say a half "no".

The first is to give the "General" face in person. After all, this is the boss of the garbage dump, and he can't afford to be guilty.

Second, he has to rely on the "general" to help him call him, and he also has to use the authority of the "general" to persuade others.

The third is the copper piece given by the "general", which is obviously rosy.

This shows that the copper pipe is copper.

That's one more piece per catty than brass, and it's actually not a loss.

Not to mention, perhaps it was Ning Weimin's "stupidity" that played a role.

Not only did the "General" feel satisfied with him, but the other three also dispelled their doubts because of the "General"'s words, and all agreed.

They even allowed Ning Weimin to choose the things he liked from their belongings.

This is really what Ning Weimin wanted, so he can still be polite.

He took out the ledger in his bag and first wrote down what a few people needed.

Just followed the blind liuzi to the place where everyone temporarily stored things, and began to pick copper from it.

And because it only focuses on quality, it does not weigh much.

Under the scale of the "General", Ning Weimin quickly completed the transaction with the blind streamers.

There was only one thing that made him uncomfortable.

That's why he's got too little today.

The fruits of that day's labor were nothing more than a broken aluminum pot, seven or eight catties of wires, two bearings, a copper lock, a copper handle, two corrugated steel plates, less than five catties of waste plastic, and thirty or so catties of scrap iron. .

Planed out the copper lock, copper handle and aluminum pot, and left it behind, and sneaked out the copper parts in the bearing in advance.

The rest are worth eleven or twelve dollars at most.

Even if you add a few dollars for shopping, you can exchange six pounds of copper.

This is really too little, just going back like this is a little unwilling.

Seeing that there are still many high-quality goods on the ground in front of them, it is really tempting.

Ning Weimin was anxious, how could he get more copper to go?

Fortunately, his mind is fast, and he has an idea as soon as his eyes roll.

It didn't take long for a flash of inspiration, and he quickly opened his mouth and asked another question.

"By the way, do you want a watch? Do you want it? If anyone wants it, I have to ask me to pick some copper as a deposit, so that I can buy the watch back for you."

Speaking of which, it really works.

Before anyone else said anything, the "General" was tempted first.

Because these days, all-steel watches are big ones, one of the "three turns and one sound".

It's not just a watch, but a high-end consumer product that can show identity.

Even domestic watches such as Pearl, Huhai, and Shuangling can be worn on the wrist, and others can smile more.

Because as the leader of the gang, after the "general" has a big pocket, he has been thinking about getting a watch for a long time, and the scenery is beautiful.

But this thing requires industrial coupons, which cannot be bought with money.

In the head of the "general", he also knew that fifteen industrial coupons were an indispensable prerequisite.

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin suddenly mentioned it today, which made him really surprised and happy.

"Can you really buy it? You have such powerful water? Don't lie to me!"

"How can I? I dare not lie to you when I lie to anyone? Then do I still want to do it?"

"That's right, but where are you going to get industrial coupons, kid?"

"This... don't ask, I'm sure I can buy it in the store anyway."

"Then how much copper do you want?"

"Then...of course the more the merrier. Do you know the price of the watch? One hundred and two. How can I carry so much money. If you want it tomorrow, I have to carry enough copper today. I Thinking about it, I have to take another [-] to [-] catties of copper."

Seeing the change in the expression on the "General"'s face, Ning Weimin knew that this guy had already begun to be tempted, and he was just worried about the risks he would take.

So he took the retreat as the advance, and he seized the time again, provoking the "general" all of a sudden.

"But then again, I took so much of this copper, you can't believe me. This is difficult..."

"Otherwise, it's better to wait. Give me another two or three days and I'll be able to scrape together the money for a watch."

"When the time comes, I'll bring the watch, and you'd better give me the money. You'd better think about it for the past two days, so as not to regret it."

"It's just an ugly word. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If the store is really sold out in the past few days, I have no choice but to wait for the opportunity..."

As soon as he said this, the "General" bared his teeth with excitement.

He just couldn't resist the temptation to own a watch.

It is even more intolerable to miss a watch that should belong to him.

So with a slap on the thigh, he made a decision as if he had sunk the boat.

"Don't, what are you waiting for, there are many dreams in the night. Isn't it just some copper. What can't be trusted. Forty pounds is forty pounds. Here's to you!"

Afterwards, he also pointed to the harvest of other blind streamers today.

"If I don't have enough copper, you can get it from other people's goods. If they still don't have enough copper, you can go back to the shack with me if it's a big deal. I'll just tell them who's going to get it and how much. "

Ning Weimin blinked, but at this time he deliberately acted hesitant.

"General, you...you really dare to give it to me? Are you not afraid of me..."

And this actually made the "General" feel more at ease.

He laughed and said quite proudly.

"Of course. Not to mention that you don't have the courage, you are not that stupid. Didn't you just say that you have only been working for a few days, and you have almost earned a watch. You will pay for the 120 yuan Have you smashed your own golden job? Can't..."

This remark immediately made the other blind streamers around him applaud and admire him quite a bit.

Ning Weimin also quickly made an expression of feeling the arrogance of the king, and raised his thumb as if he was constipated.

"A wise man! No wonder you're sitting at the top of the junkyard!"

To say "general" is also really popular.

It was like being touched by Ning Weimin, and he couldn't even close his mouth with joy.

The sturdy big hand just waved the scale pole, and the men who looked down on the world spoke vigorously.

"Take it, take it as you like. Get it until you are satisfied."
