Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

On the first weekend after school started, Bai Chuanfeng came to the lump residence in Arakawa District again.

Today he made an appointment with Kashiwagi and the others to go to the home appliance recycling point we mentioned last time.

It happened that I hadn't seen Tiger Taro for a week, and I didn't know how he was doing.

In 1978, RB implemented a six-day work week. There is only one day off on Sunday every week.

It doesn't affect college students like Bai Chuanfeng, he can even spare two or three days a week.

But salaried workers will have to work harder. The real two-day work system began in 1980, and some RB companies gradually became popular.

Knocking on the iron door with most of its green paint peeling off, Bai Chuanfeng waited for a long time before a long-overdue response came faintly from inside the door.

With a squeak, the sleepy-eyed Kotaro opened the door.

"Xiaofeng!" Tiger Taro rubbed his eyes and saw the figure outside the door, and exclaimed in surprise. "That's great. If I didn't know where you live, I would have planned to find you."

After finishing speaking, Kotaro hugged Bai Chuanfeng's shoulders, and his big white teeth gleamed in the dark room when he smiled.

"Kataro, when you beat me up, you weren't so enthusiastic."

It's just been a week since I saw this guy, why is he so enthusiastic, Bai Chuanfeng is a little confused.

"Hey." Kotaro rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, "I was ignorant before, so you can't blame me."

"Hey, what are you doing, you didn't take the wrong medicine."

Bai Chuanfeng wondered, could it be that this guy found out with his conscience that he was really repenting his previous "sinful life"?

Bai Chuanfeng really wanted to say something about Tiger Taro's nagging performance.

I still like your rebellious look, please restore it.

As soon as he entered the house, Bai Chuanfeng was attracted by the beer cans on the table.

He turned his head and sniffed at Tiger Taro's side, "You guys don't know how to drink, do you?"

"Uh..." Kotaro hesitated for a moment, and used his thumb and index finger to draw a universe between his fingers, "a little bit".

Bai Chuanfeng looked at the densely packed empty jars, and there were literally billions of them.

"You are underage, drink less. Don't be like Uncle Maruyama."

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng's advice, Kotaro bowed his head in guilt and embarrassment.

Uncle Maruyama mentioned by Bai Chuanfeng is Tiger Taro's father. A well-known alcoholic in Xiaolu Village, his ultimate goal in life is to drink.

His frail wife and young son could not stop his desire for fine wine.

Seeing so many empty bottles on the table, and there is no Aunt Miki in Tokyo who can restrain him, Bai Chuanfeng worried that the unrestrained Kotaro would become another Maruyama.

"Don't worry, I drank those. Kotaro didn't even drink a can. Besides, as an Akita person, how can he not drink alcohol. It will be blamed by the ancestors."

Kashiwagi scratched his scalp, his messy hair was nothing compared to a chicken coop.

He yawned and called Bai Chuanfeng to sit down. "Xiaofeng, how is it at school? You haven't been bullied."

In his impression, the frail Bai Chuanfeng has always been a disadvantaged group in Xiaolu Village. If it were not for Tiger Taro's protection, he would have suffered much bullying.

Bai Chuanfeng casually put the snacks he brought on the table, "No, the students are very friendly."

He didn't explain to Kashiwagi that university and Xiaolu are different, and of course he didn't talk about his two strange roommates.

"That's good." Bai Mu lit a cigarette, and there was a curl of blue smoke rising from the orange-red sparks. "Study hard, your future will be different." Bai Mu let out a long breath, and the smoke became more and more steamy.

"En." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, while Kotaro sitting next to him remained silent.

"Oh, that's right. I came here today to visit the home appliance store, right?"

Kashiwagi and the others like to call the home appliance recycling point a home appliance market, just like those shopping supermarkets. If you lack any electrical appliances, you can buy them for zero yuan there.

"Yes, I'm thinking about finding something to do when I'm free. Uncle Kashiwagi, you know, I like to fiddle with these electrical appliances, maybe I can earn some pocket money."

The last time Bai Chuanfeng heard about his experience of going shopping for electrical appliances, Bai Chuanfeng had an idea in his heart.

Now it is not like later generations, RB people have to pay an extra sum of money to deal with household appliances.

The government has very little control over this aspect. With the economic development, the upgrading of electronic products is accelerating.

Therefore, the middle class has no psychological burden to replace these machines, and a large amount of electrical waste has accumulated at fixed points, and no one cares about them.

Bai Chuanfeng's idea is very simple, that is to pick up trash. Some electrical appliances in good condition were abandoned in the garbage dump due to some minor problems.

In his opinion, it is a waste of money. With his talent, tinkering and tinkering will restore it to its original state.

Then these intact electrical appliances can be exchanged for money. As for where to change it, of course it is a second-hand shop.

The second-hand store was really carried forward by RB people after the bubble burst. Before the bubble, the whole people scattered coins and bought them all over the world. A large number of luxury goods entered the middle-class families.

After the bubble, the economy was depressed, and a large number of people lost their jobs. Those luxuries bought before can no longer be used, so they are exchanged for money.

Since then, medieval shops have blossomed everywhere in RB, and later even attracted a large number of overseas tourists, forming a unique medieval culture.

At this moment, the RB economy is expanding and taking off, but it does not mean that there is no market for second-hand stores.

After all, no matter what era there are poor people, rich people are a minority after all. Now RB's second-hand stores are mostly concentrated in big cities like Tokyo, and there are not many people doing them.

Bai Chuanfeng intends to repair and repair the electrical appliances that are in good condition, and then sell them in second-hand electrical appliances stores.

Although the price is basically not sold at a high price, it is also very different from the brand new price of the product. But this is a no-cost business after all, and how much you sell is pure profit.

Such a medieval market can be regarded as a blue ocean for Bai Chuanfeng.

In fact, the most profitable way to pick up trash is to pick it up, repair it, and sell it yourself. But now he is poor and has no capital at all. Not to mention the stringent procedures for opening a middle store.

The government has strict audit standards for second-hand stores, and the goods in the store must be authentic. It is illegal to sell counterfeit goods in RB, and getting caught is far from being as simple as paying three for one fake.

Besides, Bai Chuanfeng didn't intend to fiddle with second-hand goods for a lifetime, these were just to earn his first pot of gold in his career.

How much money can be earned by selling second-hand goods, and the profits accumulated for decades are also small money in the eyes of capitalists.

Kashiwagi has a deep understanding of Bai Chuanfeng's fondness for electrical appliances, and indeed he has two brushes.

As for earning some pocket money, he didn't worry about it at all. That thing is everywhere, what money can it make. If you can really make money, will no one care about it?

It must be this kid's hobby. Thinking about it this way, Kashiwagi stuffed a few mouthfuls of the snacks that Bai Chuanfeng brought, and then packed up and prepared to take him to the home appliance store to see if he could find something. It seems that there is still a microwave oven in the house.

Happy New Year!
