Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 280 Processing business is open!
Xu Jichang was inspired by his electrical appliance repair business.

Purchasing second-hand electrical appliances is essentially a kind of junk collection.

In this case, why not expand your business scope?
Li Wanru heard Xu Jichang's idea and agreed very much: "Then we have to organize a team to collect rags."

"I'm just thinking about this. Not only does someone need to collect it, but someone also needs to deal with it."

"Some are broken and can be used by repairing them, while others have to be dismantled and reprocessed."

"We still need to hold another processing workshop."

Xu Ji often held his chin with his hand and said slowly.

Li Wanru looked at him: "Then we have to find a venue. It's okay in the early stage, but in the later stage the city will definitely not be able to accommodate it when the scale increases."

Xu Jichang didn't take what she said to heart: "We'll talk about it later. Find a yard to work on in the early stage."

"If we have the manpower, we'll look for it among the educated youth who have returned to the city."

Xu Jichang's words made Li Wanru feel doubtful in his heart: "Educated youth returning to the city? All of them have gone to school and received an education. Are they willing to mobilize them to pick up rags?"

Xu Jichang closed his eyes slightly, then opened them and looked at Li Wanru calmly,
"No one wants to pick up rags. But for some educated youth, is that something they are willing to do?"

"When I came back to the city from the countryside, I couldn't find a job, and my family had another mouth to eat. My mother and I looked down at him every day. Not to mention picking up rags, even if I asked him to dig out excrement, he would do it."

Rough words are not rough.

After hearing these words, Li Wanru's expression became complicated for a moment.

Her parents died when she was young, and no one could feel the impact of Xu Jichang's words more than her.

"You're right. There's really nothing more important than eating."

"Then let's start recruiting people from now on?"

"Yeah. Some of the people we hired are responsible for recycling second-hand goods, and some are responsible for sorting and processing."

"The processing part may use some knowledge. Try to recruit people who have graduated from high school. I am responsible for purchasing, paying for processing expenses, and paying wages."

"I have a lot of things at hand, and I have exams coming up, so I'm sure I'll be too busy sometimes. You have to take care of it for me, and we'll open the shares every [-]/[-]."

"Okay, how much do you estimate it will cost?"

"You will contribute 1500 first, and I will contribute 3500. If additional equity is needed later, we will continue to contribute in this proportion."

Xu Jichang said.

……

The next day, he found the organization department of the fertilizer plant and asked them for an address book.

When Dongfang Fertilizer Factory was recruiting workers before, the number of applicants was always full every time.This list contains the contact information of tens of thousands of young men and women of school age.

Most of them are zip codes, mailing addresses, and occasionally a phone number.

Second-hand recycling trading is open, and young men and women are welcome to sign up to find their own jobs.

The content of the letter was very simple. The contact information to be signed was at the entrance of the electrical repair shop, and the time was the early morning the day after tomorrow.

After writing the letter, Xu Jichang went to a street store and bought a large bag of stamps. He pasted the envelopes one by one with glue, put the letter in and put it into the mailbox.

This move was very effective. Two days later in the morning, a team of about 400 people gathered at the door of the shop.

It seems that there are still many people who cannot find jobs.

When Xu Jichang arrived at the repair shop, he looked at the bustling crowd and sighed.

"Please wait, I am Xu Jichang. If you are willing to do second-hand recycling business, come with me."

Xu Jichang shouted, and the young men and women immediately rushed forward.

In the early morning mist, Xu Jichang saw faces full of hope.

"Hello, comrade, may I ask if this transaction is public or private?"

"Does the person you recruit sign a contract..."

……

Questions came one after another, and Xu Jichang simply couldn't answer them.

"Brothers, this is a small business, and the remuneration is guaranteed. As for whether you ask me if I am a private person, I would like to ask you, have you ever seen a state-owned unit take the initiative to write you a letter, asking you to come to work?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.

The person who asked this question turned his face away in embarrassment, feeling embarrassed at the low level of his question.

In order to avoid affecting the electrical repair business, Xu Jichang took all the young people who came to apply for jobs to an open space.

This is the urban-suburban junction, and the site is very open.

Xu Jichang moved tables and chairs from the repair shop and started the interview directly on the open space.

Although the business of collecting rags is dirty and tiring, it is a test of one's agility.

Those who are not smart and have no vision will just wait to lose money.

……

After a full morning, Xu Jichang selected forty or fifty people who were smart, hard-working and hard-working among hundreds of interviewers as the final candidates.

Basically, everyone comes here for the position of processing worker, and very few are willing to go to the front line to do recycling.

Xu Jichang did a lot of ideological work and finally succeeded in convincing a group of people to go to the front line and made an appointment with them to meet here in half a month.

After recruiting people, you have to find a venue.

Xu Jichang went to Li Wanru's house to explain to her and leave the job to her.

Within a few days, Li Wanru successfully completed the task.

"Look, it should meet the requirements, right?"

She led Xu Jichang to the courtyard she rented and pointed at the doorway.

Xu Jichang looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

It is a single-family house with no neighbors, making it very suitable as a processing site.

"The rent is RMB 20 a month, and I signed it for five years in one go."

Li Wanru continued to introduce, "The landlord is still stupid and thinks he has taken a big advantage."

"Quite a business acumen."

Xu Jichang glanced at Li Wanru and said.

Nowadays, the number of returning educated youths is increasing, causing rents in the capital to rise.

Locking in rent in advance is extremely beneficial to them.

Li Wanru took out the key from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole: "Go in and take a look."

The courtyard door opened, and the place inside was open and devoid of any debris.All the furniture in the room was also emptied, and it looked very refreshing.

"It was originally used as a warehouse by a public agency. Now that they have vacated the space, I rented it."

Li Wanru introduced.

Xu Jichang and Li Wanru walked around the house and the back yard, and finally came out of the back door: "I'll buy the machine tomorrow."

"Leave this to me."

Second-hand recycling requires some simple machinery and labor tools, and it is not enough to just rely on your hands.

In today's era, it is simply difficult for individuals to buy some production machines, and it is impossible to do so without some tricks.

"Okay, tell me how much it cost. We will share it equally according to the proportion of capital contribution."

Li Wanru replied.

Xu Jichang did not refuse: his brothers would settle the score clearly.

No matter how good the relationship between the two is, they still have to make money matters clear when they go into business together.

After returning home, Xu Jichang made a call and found a machinery factory that had done business with Pioneer Distribution Company in the past.

"Hello, who is it?"

The phone was connected, and the voice of the other party's leader came from inside.

"I'm Xu Jichang, and I'd like to buy a few things from you."

"Oh? Manager Xu, what do you want to buy?"

It can be heard from the voice that the other party is a little confused at the moment.

They always go to the distribution company to buy things, why is it the other way around today?

Moreover, the phone number that Xu Ji often used was his personal phone number, not his work number, and it was not in line with the norm.

"Buy the old machines that you have eliminated. Used for metal processing."

"It doesn't take too many, just five." "Buy a second-hand machine?"

A surprised voice came from the receiver.

The machines they eliminated have always been directly disposed of as scrap products, and few customers want to buy them, let alone the ones who come to buy them today are private individuals.

"What, no goods?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"Yes, if necessary, I will transport it to you tomorrow."

The other party said hurriedly.

Xu Jichang had supplied their unit with a lot of high-quality and low-priced non-staple food and daily necessities, and the two parties had a certain friendship.

"No, I'll hire someone to transport it to your factory tomorrow morning. I'll pay whatever the price is for you to sell it to others."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xu Jichang entered the space shelf and took out 5000 yuan.

There are still three or two nails in the broken ship. Although it is a scrapped machine, according to the market price, each one is still worth 1000 yuan.

Early the next morning, Xu Jichang went to the interface to hire a few tricycles to transport the machines to the other unit.

When he arrived with a fleet of tricycles, the leader of the other party had already prepared the machines and was waiting at the gate of the factory.

"Good morning, Manager Xu."

"morning."

After briefly saying hello, Xu Jichang stepped forward to check the condition of the machine.

Well, it's old again, but there's nothing damaged and it looks like it can still be used.

"Factory regulations require it to be phased out after five years, but the machine is still functioning normally."

"As long as you take good care of it after you return, it won't be a problem to use it for another five years."

When Xu Jichang inspected it, the factory leader introduced it.

"Sure, tell me how much it will be."

Xu Jichang inquired.

The other party held out several fingers: "3000 yuan."

"As I said, give me whatever you give to others. There is no need to discount."

Xu Jichang didn't want to owe the other party a favor, so he handed the other party the satchel with money, "A total of 5000 yuan, should be enough?"

"Manager Xu, this..."

The factory leaders did not expect that Xu Jichang was not a freeloader and did not react for a while.

"Ask you if it's enough."

"Enough is enough, absolutely enough."

When the factory leader said this, he quickly looked at a female employee next to him.

The female employee stepped forward to take the bag, opened it and counted the numbers. It looked like it was finance.

After the other party counted the money, Xu Jichang asked the hired tricycle to take the machine away and transport it all the way to the venue he and Li Wanru rented.

The total shipping fee plus unloading fee is 15 yuan.After the machine was installed, Xu Jichang took out the account book from his pocket and recorded all the expenses.

When he got home, he called Li Wanru and informed her of the situation.

"Have you bought the machine? So fast."

On the phone, Li Wanru's voice sounded a bit incredible, "You are really capable."

"You don't have any skills, how dare you do this business?"

Xu Jichang said calmly.

"Then... how much did it cost in total?"

"The machine cost 5000 yuan. I have calculated all the preliminary preparation costs, and we will share them in proportion later."

"Okay, okay. I think we need to hire an accountant later."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's start the business first."

Xu Jichang's entrepreneurial mindset is to put business first and make money first.

Any formalization is a matter of scale.

After a while, Xu Jichang met the young people who had been hired behind the electrical repair shop and led them into the yard.

The person in charge of front-line recycling received the labor tools and went directly to work.

The remaining ones responsible for sorting and processing stayed in the yard and received training from Xu Jichang.

Which parts and materials are of high value and which are of low value.

For high-value parts, how to use machines to process them.

Xu Jichang took the trouble to explain the relevant knowledge points over and over again, and also asked the young people attending the lecture to take notes.

By the time the class was over, the sun was setting, and the person in charge of recycling also brought back all kinds of second-hand goods.

Xu Jichang watched these people dismantle and process them on the spot, turning what ordinary people would consider waste products into various daily necessities.

The most valuable scraps are metals such as copper, iron, and aluminum.

When his career started, Xu Jichang did not plan to make it big from the beginning.He just wants people to produce some daily necessities.

Iron pot, thermos cup, kitchen knife...

After several hours of machine roaring, a pile of finished products finally appeared in the yard.

The product is not exquisite, it can even be said to be quite rough.

But...you can buy them all without a ticket.

Xu Jichang is confident to open up sales.

Early the next morning, a group of young people pushing carts appeared at the market on the outskirts of the capital, selling various daily necessities.

And just as Xu Jichang expected, all the products were sold out in less than half a morning.

A total of nearly 400 yuan was sold. This was because the factory just opened yesterday and was not in full production.

When Xu Jichang heard the educated youth in charge of sales reporting the results to him, he was so happy.

This is a victory in the first battle.

When he told Li Wanru the news, Li Wanru was also very happy.

"Work just started yesterday, and the output is limited. If we produce at full capacity for one day, the profit should be doubled."

"That's [-] per day, and [-] per month. After excluding wages and costs, the net profit is [-]."

"We are getting rich."

Li Wanru clicked on the newly purchased calculator for a while, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Xu Jichang shook his head: "It's probably more than that."

"They just started, and the work is very rough. I don't dare to ask for a high price."

"When those educated youths become familiar with the machines, the products will become better and better, and the prices will go up."

Li Wanru was a little excited after hearing this: "Oh? Then should we consider expanding the scale?"

"This is not the same as turning on a money printing press."

"Let's wait a little longer. It's better to keep a low profile at this stage, and we'll consider expanding the scale in the future."

Xu Jichang decisively rejected her proposal, "As for the money you earn, you can use it to buy a house."

When buying antiques, you may make a mistake.

If you lend money and earn interest, you may be defrauded of your principal.

Buying a house alone is an investment that is guaranteed to make a profit in this era.Xu Jichang persuaded Li Wanru like this for her own good.

"Buying a house..."

"Okay, I'll pay more attention to opportunities and buy a few good houses."

Li Wanru thought for a moment and finally accepted Xu Jichang's proposal.

"Hey, you're really obedient."

Xu Jichang reached out and touched Li Wanru's face that could be broken by a bullet.
