Chapter 5 Changing Cars

In order to verify whether the method he thought of last night was feasible, Chen Ming didn't pick up the bottle today, but stood by the side of the road early in the morning.

The closer to the urban-rural fringe he was, the more people collected scraps. After a while, he saw an old man pulling a wooden cart turning out of a small alley.

Chen Ming walked up to him. He first glanced at the trolley and made sure that there were only a few dozen beverage bottles. Then he said with confidence, "Uncle, can you sell me these plastic bottles in your cart?"

"Ah? Plastic bottle?" The old man was stunned, this was the first time he had encountered such a request, but seeing that Chen Ming didn't look like he was joking, he asked, "Yes, yes, but how much will you give? "

"How about a dime?"

This price is very reasonable. Chen Ming has done market research. The normal price for collecting waste is three plastic bottles and a dime. These waste collectors take back the bottles and sell them to the waste station for only two yuan. Gross, in fact, you don’t make much money. The real profit is made by the scrap station.

Of course, there are some that offer higher prices, but no matter where they are, the price is definitely not low.

Sure enough, the old man looked at him suspiciously and said, "Okay, but you have to pay first, so don't lie to me!"

"Don't worry!" Chen Ming took out a handful of change from his pocket and shook it to prove that he was not joking. Then he and the old man counted the plastic bottles in the trolley. There were 42 in total. The old man said happily that it was only a fraction. I wiped it off, and the deal was done for four yuan.

The reason for this is mainly because it is still morning. If it comes to the afternoon, it will definitely be more than this. After taking the money, the old man asked with a look of regret: "Just plastic bottles? Do you want these beer bottles?" ?And this radio?”

He obviously took Chen Ming as a fool and planned to sell all the rags he collected, but now Chen Ming is not interested in anything other than plastic bottles, so he can only wave his hands and refuse. Answered, saying only that he would come back to him if needed.

Seeing the old man thanking and reluctantly leaving, Chen Ming immediately stepped on three wheels, rushed to the trash bin not far away, and threw all the plastic bottles into it with full expectation.
With a ding, to Chen Ming's ears, it was the sound of nature.

25 yuan and 2 cents, here it is!

Chen Ming was so excited that he wanted to sing a song in the street, but in order not to be caught in the fourth hospital, he could only suppress his excitement, and kept telling himself: calm down, calm down!Pay attention to identity!
Now that there are shortcuts, why do you need to pick them up one by one?

Chen Ming immediately ran home to find a piece of cardboard, bought a marker pen, and wrote eight characters on it—

Collect plastic bottles, a dime each!
Fixing the cardboard to the tricycle with wire, he pedaled to the nearby residential area, found a shady place to sit and waited for the business to come.

As expected, there must be a plastic bottle under the so-called heavy reward. After a while, someone came to ask him if the price was real, if there were any conditions, and if there was any charge. Chen Ming gave affirmative answers one by one. , It took less than half an hour for his tricycle to be full!

"Don't worry, everyone, I'll take this car back first, and I'll come back at 8:[-] tomorrow afternoon!"

Chen Ming quickly made an appointment with everyone to come back, and happily closed the stall while pedaling and humming a tune.

It's not that he finds it troublesome and doesn't want to come back immediately, the main reason is that it doesn't make much sense to come here too frequently, don't look at these people taking out so many bottles at once, in fact, this is all their inventory, he today Even if he can run a hundred times, there may not be so many tomorrow. If he wants to make this money for a long time, he must let everyone develop the habit of collecting beverage bottles, so that he only needs to come every few days in the future. Can be harvested.

And the most important thing is to keep your own secrets. If it is too frequent, someone who cares about it may notice it. If someone suspects his whereabouts of these plastic bottles, it will be troublesome to follow him.

Although this power tricycle is small, it can actually hold a lot of bottles if you crush them. He just spent nearly 30 yuan to collect these bottles, which is almost three hundred!

Chen Ming pedaled his car around the street for a few laps, making sure no one was following him, so he found a big trash can and threw all the bottles on the car into it. This trip he got 172 yuan and 2 cents, deducting the cost , earned one hundred and fourteen!

Of course, with such a high income, he can no longer eat pancakes. It was rare for Chen Ming to be extravagant. He found a restaurant and asked for 8 yuan fried noodles. As far as he remembered, he hadn't dared to go to a restaurant for several months!
After eating and drinking, he bought a small notebook from the store next to the restaurant, drew a map of the area from memory, and then divided the area into six parts. He planned to go to one every day from Monday to Saturday. place.

As for the weekend, does it need to be said?Even those who collect junk have to have a day off!
He knew very well that today was just the beginning. As long as he went there at a fixed time in the future, these people would definitely be able to sell him many more beverage bottles than they did today. The urban-rural fringe area was very densely populated, and even if they drank it themselves It’s not much, so you can pick it up!There are so many plastic bottles for everyone!I pick up quite a few on my way to and from get off work every day!

The problem now is that the car is too small. He regrets that he bought the smallest one for cheap. He should have bought a bigger one. There is no other way. It is enough to go to a place once a week. No one can do this frequently. There will be any doubts, it will definitely not work if it is too frequent.

With money in his pocket, he has the confidence to do things. Chen Ming rode his bike directly to the place where new cars were sold, added 300 yuan, and very proudly changed to a second-hand tricycle that was twice as big as before!
Although it is still second-hand, it is indeed much better than the previous one. After all, it was bought in a store. The seller tidied it up beforehand, and it didn't look that bad.

Chen Ming now felt as if he had just picked up a luxury car from a 4S shop. He was full of joy and proudly pedaling his three-wheeled car back home.

In the evening, he bought two more bottles of beer for a little celebration, and at 08:30 the next night, he came to this residential area again at the time agreed yesterday.

He had also considered this time. At this time, everyone had basically gone home from work and had dinner. It was just the right time to collect the bottles. As expected, many people did not have time to sell the bottles to him yesterday. When they saw him coming today, one by one I quickly moved out the plastic bottles that had been accumulated for many days from home.

Chen Ming cheerfully maintained order, asked everyone to line up so that they would not be crowded, and then counted and gave money one by one.

More than 600 plastic bottles, more than 300 yuan!

Chen Ming knew that he had made a fortune!
