Chapter 59 The Price of Scrap Iron

In fact, the main reason is that the money is not available, otherwise Yan Changqing would definitely consider a larger generator.

At least it's like the one that Master Liu pointed at: "Why don't you consider that one? Didn't you say that you also consider the noodle maker and noodle house?"

Yan Changqing was a little embarrassed: "I don't have enough money, let's get a smaller one first, and make do with it for a while. Wait until I have money after a while."

He has been a little depressed these days because of this, but he didn't think about it clearly. He thought that small generators were not so expensive. He forgot that most of the prices these days are lower than in the future, but industrial products are not cheap.

And a lot of prices look cheap in the future, but is one dollar now the same as one dollar in the future?
"Then don't you want to make a fuss?" Master Liu has always seen this little apprentice full of confidence. It is rare to see him depressed, so he couldn't help laughing. "Shall I give you credit?"

Yan Changqing couldn't help being surprised: "You guys can still get credit here?"

No matter how you deal with the things here, they have to go through the finances in the end. You can deal with them cheaply, even if it’s a dime, but the dime must also go through the finances, otherwise how can you account for the lack of things?

Master Liu doesn't treat Yan Changqing like a child now, and said with a smile: "This one will count as 2000 yuan for you, how much you can pay now, and the rest of the IOUs, I will guarantee you."

Seeing that Yan Changqing was a little surprised, moved and moved, he laughed: "You have performed on stage anyway, I don't believe you are willing to bear the black spot of not repaying the debt, if you really want to pay it, I will pay it for you So what? When you have achievements in the future, you have to redeem this IOU a few times more, anyway, I can’t lose it.”

Yan Changqing possessed her body: "Be careful, I will stay in the village and not go out in the future, so that you will suffer and you will not be able to find a place to talk about it."

After the bar was over, I expressed my gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, master, I will pay 1000 yuan now, and I promise to pay back the remaining three months."

Not only to thank Master Liu, but also to several other masters one by one, because this matter is definitely not up to Master Liu alone, and to sell him something so cheap, several masters have to nod in agreement.

If he dares to promise, he is not afraid of not paying the money. He has no choice but to perform art when he has no capital, but it is not impossible to need money.

Master Liu was referring to a [-]-kilowatt machine. If you take this thing home, there will be an absolute excess capacity in a short period of time.

But thinking about the electricity consumption in the village over the past ten years, Yan Changqing also knows that it will definitely be useful when he buys it back.

And this kind of opportunity is hard to come by. The iron guy, which is close to a ton, is only 2000 yuan. What else do you want?
In fact, Yan Changqing was a little confused. He couldn't remember clearly, but in his memory, the price of scrap iron would change drastically in the next few years. When they saw a piece of scrap iron or a rotten tin box, they quickly picked it up.

In other words, if he bought this big generator and went back, even if he didn't need to put it there, he could make money when the price of scrap iron rises!
Well, it's outrageous in this day and age, even if you dare to charge $[-] for electricity, what else can you think about.

Wait, I seem to have discovered some great business opportunity?
……

Yan Changqing simply paid 1000 yuan and wrote an IOU for another 1000 yuan.

The financial side actually agreed, and dared to accept half of the money and half of the IOU. Anyway, is there a guarantor who is afraid that the money will not be collected?
And the maintenance department also has after-sales service. Just as Master Liu asked for someone to deliver it, several apprentices rushed to go.

Yan Changqing suspected that they wanted to drive.

Because today there happened to be a relatively new Dongfeng truck for overhaul. This car is amazing. It is the treasure in the current fleet, Dongfeng 140. The front of the truck looks like an off-road vehicle, very powerful and domineering.

This truck can carry a load of five tons and can reach a speed of up to ninety kilometers per hour. It is a very popular and arrogant truck.

Although you can go up to test the car during maintenance here, you can't enjoy driving on the road.

After lunch, Yan Changqing personally operated a small crane and loaded the generator, which was already surnamed Yan.

Master Liu said with a smile: "Just now I refueled and checked it for you. You can use it directly when you take it home."

There was also a brother next to him who was quick and threw a bundle of old wires on the car: "This piece of wire can still be used, you can take it back and use it first."

What else can Yan Changqing do, I can only say thank you.Don't even think about it, oil is definitely not just a little bit to try, the bundle of wires that can be used can probably last for ten or eight years...

A brother named Ma Fangyuan grabbed a delivery job, happily drove into the car, and took the somewhat reluctant Yan Changqing and nephew with him, and embarked on the journey to Dayanzhuang.

Don't think that more than 100 miles is not too far, the road is not easy to walk!
It took an hour to get to the county town. Yan Changqing became more careful. When he passed by the Ma Steel Factory in the county town, he asked his second uncle to go in and ask about the scrap iron price here.

This small factory in the county only produces one kind of clips for wire ropes. The process is to buy scrap iron, melt it into molten iron and pour it directly, then polish it, and then do not know whether it is aluminum or chrome plating, and it becomes a product.

The products of this factory are too single, and it will fail in a few years, but it is still prosperous now, and the black smoke from the stove can be seen from a long distance.

Yan Erhe came out after a while, and reported to his nephew: "People say that it usually costs [-] cents a catty. He asked me if I brought any goods, and he didn't want to give me details if he didn't have any."

Yan Changqing was depressed, he knew earlier that he bought a pack of cigarettes for his second uncle to bring, so the question was unclear.

But it's important to hurry now, let's go on.

When he arrived in the town, Yan Changqing asked his second uncle to go in and ask again. The town was outrageous, and the purchase price was directly less than [-] cents a catty.

For a distance of thirty miles, at least five cents for a catty of scrap iron?
After taking notes in a small notebook, Yan Changqing continued to walk home in the car. Yan Changqing didn't say much all the way, thinking about it all the time.

A catty of iron costs five cents, but what about a ton?

This is the price given by the small steel factory in the county seat. What price is there elsewhere?
……

Continue to walk in the direction of Dayanzhuang from the town, the journey has been very slow and hard.

After passing Xiaoli Bay, there was no way to go, and the remaining part of the road was impossible to pass the cart.

Call someone!
Yan Erhe ran to the village to call for someone. Ma Fangyuan looked at the Dayan Village in the distance, and then at the small road: "No wonder you struggled so much. The location of your village is not as good as that of my hometown. My hometown suffered a lot. Although it is poor along the national highway, the road is much better than here.”

"Yes!" Yan Changqing was also very helpless, but he was born in this place, and although he had said about moving before, he knew that if he really moved, his family would definitely be unhappy.

"I won't go in later. You know our situation. I'll go back as soon as I unload the goods." Ma Fangyuan said. "Don't forget us brothers and masters if you have anything to do in the future. Go and have a look when you go to the oil field. Master Liu likes you very much."

"Don't worry!" Yan Changqing agreed and took out 20 yuan from his pocket. "You won't even be able to catch up with your meal when you go back. Take this and eat something on the way. I won't talk about anything else. Let's talk next time."

Seeing someone coming from the back of the car, he didn't wait for Ma Fangyuan to refuse, he handed Ma Fangyuan the money, and greeted him: "Look at the generator I bought? Go up and open it, and let you gain some insight."

I didn't address him because it was Li Mingfa who came. Last time this guy couldn't call Yan Changqing his uncle, so he doesn't know what to call him now.

Li Mingfa got used to it faster than him. It was not uncommon for the village to call the younger elders: "Cousin Changqing, did you really buy the generator back? Let me see, some of you come up to help."

After greeting, he hesitated again: "Can we get in this car?"

Ma Fangyuan couldn't help but smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, you can get on this car as long as you don't damage the generator."

The generator was bundled solidly and wrapped in canvas. Several people tossed it carefully for a while before it revealed its true colors.

Suddenly there was an exclamation.

Yan Changqing smiled and said: "In the future, you can also use my electricity. My electricity bill is [-] cents per unit. The electrician only supplies electricity for more than an hour, and I supply electricity for three hours. Whoever wants to buy a TV set should hurry up and buy it, I promise You can watch the TV series at night before turning off the power."

TV sets are rare now, but Yan Changqing told them in advance.

Because in the near future, they will have a deep understanding. After spending most of their belongings, they finally moved back to a TV. They had already become the stars of the whole village in an instant, but when the whole village, young and old, crowded into their homes to watch TV dramas, a tragedy happened!
Originally there were only two episodes a day, the first episode started, but the electricity didn't come on, and the second episode didn't end, and the electricity stopped.

Think about that feeling... Tsk tsk!
How about some people stepping on bicycles to generate electricity and watch TV!

……

After a while, almost all the people in the village, old and young, arrived at Dayan Village, except for those who were particularly close to Yan Xingwang.

The children didn't know anything else, anyway, they found it exciting to see such a big iron guy, screaming and running around the generator, big girls and wives surrounded the perimeter, and old men and women couldn't squeeze in.

In fact, Yan Xingwang also came with him, bringing his youngest son and a nephew, the one who had studied in junior high school.

Yan Changqing waited for the machine to be unloaded, and helped Ma Fangyuan turn around on the narrow path.

At this time, an interesting thing happened. Xiao Liwan's family ran out and said that they should reverse the car before turning around. He was willing to help build the ditch so that the car could fall into their wheat field.

The reason is that I feel that such a large and magnificent truck can crush the wheat in my field, and I can have a good harvest this year.

Many people actually think it makes sense. This kind of high-tech thing must bring good luck, and it's not bad for us to touch it at all.

High technology, it must be so magical.

……

Sending Ma Fangyuan away, Yan Changqing personally commanded, carrying all kinds of wooden sticks and pillars one by one, and bringing usable ropes in bundles.

The generator was tied up, sticks were laid on the path, a group of people in front pulled the rope, and a group of people behind took the pole to pry it step by step, and moved to the village little by little—the road was too narrow, and the tall and heavy generator carried Walking is not realistic. There are sleepers under the generator, so it can be moved like this.

In the wheat fields on both sides of the road, there are women, old people and children watching the excitement, and the atmosphere is even more lively than that on the first day of the [-]th day.

It's easier to do things with more people, Yan Changqing yelled and walked a few steps, just like this, step by step, step by step, walking towards the direction of Dayan Village.

Inexplicably, I realized the difficulty of the Long March.
