Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 578 Big Pebbles? How Big?

As construction sites decrease, there are fewer and fewer landfill sites. There are not many places to go treasure hunting in the entire city.

This is not like ten years ago, when there were construction sites, demolitions, and road repairs everywhere.

The weather was hot in July and August, except for visiting the antique market on weekends, or when people called him to go shopping, he would sometimes go to places like Lao Xiwan and the old street.

The rest of the time, Wu Yuansheng basically stays at home to escape the heat.

Occasionally, when he had nothing to do after dinner, he would take Yi Xiaoyue, Wu Qi, and Wu Ming to catch cicadas to experience the experience and the fun of it.

Of course, the place they were going to was not far away, just within five miles.

Although there are fewer demolitions these days, with the aging population, some of the items used by elderly people after their death are also bought by recyclers or sold to recycling stations.

Under the operation of some "businessmen", it also flowed into antique cities and second-hand goods markets.

This allows everyone to see different things every time they visit such places.

Wu Yuansheng bought a lot of things and he didn't want everything. He would not buy anything that was not already available or rare.

Time soon came to September. One morning, he was strolling in the Fengqing Street Antique City when Mr. Luo, a recycler, called him and said he had got a few bottles of old wine and asked him to go and have a look.

After leaving the antique city, he drove straight there.

I chatted with Wang Liang in the antique city in the morning, and he told me that an antique fair would be held on National Day.

The location is still at the "Shengjing Yijia" Hotel.

The current housing fair is not very popular, with basically no people, but he plans to go and see the excitement, even though it's not that lively.

Boss Luo is still the Boss Luo who lived in the same yard with Yi Xiaoyue and the others.

The difference is that now he lives in his own house, and his age has changed and he looks much older.

As a human being, no one can resist the passage of time.

The place he asked Wu Yuansheng to go was at the gate of an old residential unit in the High-tech Zone.

According to the previous plan, the houses here are also in the demolition area. It is said that many people have signed the contracts and are just waiting for the payment to move.

However, due to financial issues and problems with the house's sales market, the relocation plan was cancelled.

This isn't the only place where this kind of situation occurs.

There are even some houses where people moved out and had their doors and windows smashed, and then they were renovated and used as offices or sold again.

It took less than half an hour for Wu Yuansheng to arrive at the destination.

Boss Luo didn't receive much old wine, only 7 bottles in total.

Two bottles of "Pearl Liquid", four bottles of "Xiangjiang Special Liquor", and one bottle of "Luzhou Laojiao".

The wine is from the 1990s.

Pearl Liquid is a wine packaged in white porcelain bottles, while Xiangjiang Special Liquor and Luzhou Laojiao are both packaged in transparent glass bottles, but they also look high-end.

When discussing the price, Wu Yuansheng and Boss Luo both used their mobile phones to surf the Internet to get a general idea of the market situation.

Pearl Liquid is about 1600 yuan a bottle, Xiangjiang Special Liquor is about 600 yuan a bottle, and Luzhou Laojiao is about 800 yuan a bottle.

Boss Luo is still a good person, so let him pay.

Over the years, especially in the past few years, when I was not doing very well, I would go to the place where he rented a house or buy his things in the demolition area, and earn some money from him.

Business is not good now, so Wu Yuansheng has no intention of bargaining for his price.

(Besides, I have enough money now, so I buy things for my friends, especially Hei Lei, Yao Zhiyong, and Boss Luo.

He would definitely try his best to consider them and regard it as another way of "helping" them.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he won’t bargain when buying things from others, especially from strangers, he will definitely bargain.)

For wine, Wu Yuansheng calculated the prices according to those on the Internet.

A total of 6400 yuan.

In the end, Boss Luo insisted on only paying the exact amount of 6000, which was 400 yuan less.

"Boss Wu, the old lady's daughter-in-law of the family I bought the wine from asked me to ask around. There are three large pebbles in front of the first floor where they plant flowers and grass. They want to sell them. Do you want to buy them?"

After transferring the money to him and chatting for a few words, when he was about to leave with the wine, Luo's wife said to him again.

"Big pebbles? How big?"

"If it's one, it should weigh more than a thousand pounds! Anyway, it looks pretty big.

Here, except for some parks, you can rarely see such big rocks in other places.

I really have no place to put it, otherwise I would really like to buy it and put it at my doorstep.”

After he said this, Wu Yuansheng became somewhat interested.

He had never found pebbles as big as the ones Boss Luo described, weighing more than a thousand pounds, in the demolition area before.

Even if there are larger stones, they would only weigh about one or two hundred kilograms at most.

If I bring it back and put it in the yard of the villa, it should look nice.

"Did they tell me the price? If it's cheap, I'll take it."

Wu Yuansheng asked casually.

"I told you, it's 1000 yuan for three people!"

He had no idea about the market price of giant pebbles.

I searched online on my mobile phone and found that the price, excluding shipping costs, is about three to four hundred yuan per ton.

If the transportation cost is included, it can basically reach more than 500 yuan per ton.

This is the wholesale price.

In addition, the larger the stone, the more expensive it will be. After all, a large stone is not only a matter of weight, but it is also more inconvenient to transport.

If you buy stones from a place where they sell them, they will definitely not weigh them for you, they will just tell you the price.

If the weight is more than one ton, even without the transportation fee, the price of one stone is probably not less than one thousand to two thousand yuan, otherwise people will not sell it to you.

And it is possible that they will ask you for three thousand or four thousand.

Wu Yuansheng didn’t think 1000 yuan was expensive.

"Then let's go look at the stone first."

This form of "shopping" is actually just a matter of chance.

If you come across one and it seems good, then buy it.

"Okay! It's in this neighborhood, let's go in now!"

After Wu Yuansheng put the wine in the car, the two of them went together to the person who wanted to sell the stones.

Without contacting them first, he looked at three large pebbles.

There are three stones, one of which looks flat and can be sat on.

An approximately oval shape, like a big duck egg.

The last one looks like a mountain peak, or similar to a camel's hump.

This shape shows that the person who bought the stone before most likely selected it.
