Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 47 Collecting things does not necessarily have to be old antiques
"Yes! We really need to make more money. Nowadays, many places are being demolished. This is an opportunity.

Compared with two months ago, I feel that business has been significantly better in the past half month. There are people renovating houses and disposing of waste items every day! "

Hei Lei said that he knew that many people who engaged in recycling also made money during the large-scale demolition.

Because of large-scale demolition, thousands of households are renovating. When they renovate, in order to save trouble, they will ask those who are engaged in recycling to go to their homes to purchase items.

Some people treat old refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, air conditioners, motorcycles, electric vehicles, bicycles, and other miscellaneous items as waste, even if they are still usable.

They originally only earned a few dozen yuan a day, but due to demolition, they may have an income of several hundred yuan, or even thousands of yuan or more.

"It is indeed an opportunity!" Wu Yuansheng also said.

For Hei Lei, what he sees is the opportunity to make money from recycling some old household appliances.

But what he saw was the opportunity brought by searching for collectible items from thousands of households.

"Brother Lei, what were you doing before? Have you always been recycling?"

When he was working as a security guard, he, Hei Lei and the others would only meet each other sooner or later to say hello, say a few words occasionally, and help out a little.

He didn't know his experience before recycling, and when asked now, he just wanted to know more and gain more life experience.

"No, I worked in a factory in a southern coastal city before, and it was two years after my marriage that I came here to do recycling."

Hei Lei's experience was similar to that of many people. At that time, in this city, many people went to the south to work in factories.

"Not only has he been in a factory, but he has also been involved in pyramid schemes." After Hei Lei finished speaking, Chen Xiulan added.

What she said quite surprised Wu Yuansheng.

"Have you ever been involved in a pyramid scheme?"

"Yes! I went there and stayed there for more than a year. At that time, I went to Anhui Province with others."

Hei Lei said it very simply. He was not embarrassed or ashamed to hide anything.

"Can you tell me about some of the things there? I heard it's quite mysterious." Wu Yuansheng didn't understand some of the situations in MLM and was a little curious.

"There is nothing that cannot be said. I will tell you now:

When I went out to work, that is, in 05, I met a friend from Anhui Province. At that time, he asked me if I wanted to make a lot of money...

At that time, I paid 2000 yuan that I had saved from working for more than half a year.

They took us to a fixed place where they rented a house in advance and gave us "classes" there.

Let me recruit people, find people to invest money in, and develop offline.

Slowly I thought to myself whether I had entered a pyramid scheme.

During this period, every time I wanted to leave, someone would always come and persuade me.

Until later, I didn't get anyone involved. They lost patience with my ability. Seeing that I really couldn't get anyone involved, they asked me to keep it a secret for them and let me go. "

Hei Lei began to talk about his experience in MLM over the past year.

After listening to his story, he also gained some understanding of the so-called pyramid scheme.

"I'm telling you, in that year or so, there were quite a few people who joined MLM, including those who had served in the military, those who had worked in banks, those who had gone to university, those who had been teachers...many, many people ." Hei Lei continued.

"Have there been other people like this before? It's really surprising. Then they must have been deceived into it because they wanted to make a fortune!" Wu Yuansheng said again.

"Yes! It is true that they are all deceived in order to make money and get rich. But unless you attract a certain number of people and reach a certain level, you can't make any money at all.

Besides, the more people you pull, the more people you can deceive. I really didn’t want to deceive anyone, so I didn’t get anyone. "

While they were chatting, the wine and food were slowly served.

When business is good, the ribs in the restaurant are all prepared in advance. Just put them in a pot, add some side dishes, heat them up and then put them in the pot and serve.

When the food was served, the proprietress also gave them a small plate of peanuts for their table.

Chen Xiulan didn't drink beer, so Wu Yuansheng asked the landlady to bring two cans of Wong Lo Kat.

Then they began to eat and drink.

If they were still working as security guards as before, they would definitely not be together like now. "Yuan Sheng, let's talk about some things about collecting antiques. You said that the things you collect are different from us. You collect old wine, old photos, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, old coins and other things.

Can you be more specific? "

Chen Xiulan ate the food, took a sip of Wong Lo Kat and said to him.

“Of course, then I’ll tell you something specific.

Take old wine as an example. The older and more famous the liquor, the greater its value and the more valuable it is.

If you don’t have wine, a wine bottle from 40 to [-] years ago will do.

As for Moutai bottles, you can get them from any era. Some people collect these and can sell them for money.

Old photos are best in black and white. Like wine, the older the better.

In addition, some famous people or old photos with commemorative significance are more valuable, and some people also collect them.

………………

If you come across special radios, cameras, and some household items from the 70s and [-]s, these are also valuable for collection. You can select them individually instead of selling them as scrap.

Nowadays, you can often encounter these things during demolition. In the future, when you go out to recycle old goods, you can pay more attention to them. If you encounter them, pick them out individually. "

While Wu Yuansheng was eating and drinking with the two of them, he told them in detail about the valuable items that could be found in the demolition area.

"The ones you mentioned are very recent, so they can't be considered antiques! We seem to have encountered them before, but we didn't pay much attention to them at that time."

After listening to his story, Hei Lei said.

"It doesn't seem like it, or I have encountered it before. There was a family there when I went out to collect things. Maybe the house was where their parents lived before.

The old man was gone. They wanted to renovate their house and rent it out to others. They planned to sell everything in it and later came to us to buy those items.

At that time, they didn't ask us for any money, so they packed and sold everything inside to us. They also asked us to pick up all the items inside and clean the floor.

When we were picking up those things, didn't we see a big radio with a wooden case? You took it back and dismantled it, and took out the copper coils inside and sold them for money.

At that time, there were still some small books, old magazines, old newspapers, etc., which were all sold as waste paper. "

Chen Xiulan said.

“The things collected do not necessarily need to be old antiques. Take a national-level calligrapher or painter as an example. Even if the calligraphy or paintings they wrote were made today, the collection value is still very high.

The wooden-cased radio I just mentioned must be a few years old and must have collection value. It would be a pity to dismantle it as scrap.

There are many households in the demolition area, and the things in their homes are very miscellaneous. Because the family conditions are different, the items in their homes will also be different.

Each family has its own story. In the future, when you go out to recycle old goods, you will definitely encounter a lot of things like that.

If you encounter the collectible items I told you about again, you can select them individually instead of selling them as scrap. "

"Okay, if we encounter them again, we will select them individually and show them to you when the time comes. If you want them, we will sell them to you!" Hei Lei said.

Then they continued eating and talking.

In the evening, Hei Lei said that he would continue to sort out some junk items he had recently received when he went back, so he only drank two bottles of beer.

Wu Yuansheng wanted to go back and read the books for the subject one exam at night, but he only drank two bottles.

After eating, he paid the bill, and they all returned to their respective places.

When he returned to the rental house, it was almost 08:30. He washed up first, then found the book on Examination [-] and started reading.

It wasn't until almost 12 o'clock that he became very sleepy, so he put down the book and lay down to rest.

Not long after he lay down, he suddenly remembered something. The electric tricycle had not been charged yet.

He didn't know how much electricity there was in it, so he planned to charge it overnight.

Opening the door, he walked to the electric car, opened the small box locked inside the car, and took out the charger and a seven- to eight-meter-long cord with a plug plug.

He threw the wires into the house from the window, connected all the power sources, and then went back to bed to rest.
