Coming Back in 1990s Chapter 6

"Mr. Wang, why don't you sell this equipment to me?"

Fang Bo's words surprised Ma Jingsen and the two workers next to him.

Even if the equipment is broken, it is worth a lot of money and is not something a working person can afford, let alone an apprentice.

"Fang Bai, even if there are some problems with this equipment, it is still worth a lot of money." Ma Jingsen did not explicitly say that Fang Bai could not afford it, but he did not think highly of him in his heart.

When Eric Wang heard that Fang Bo wanted to buy equipment, he was a little curious: "Fang Bo, what are you going to buy it for?"

"I have my own use for this, so I can't tell you for now." Fang Bai smiled, "Mr. Wang, please give me an offer.

I know the condition of this device. It cannot be repaired. It is better to get rid of it and replace it with a new one. It just takes up space."

"Five thousand, after all, it's still barely usable, and even if you dismantle it and sell the parts it's worth a lot of money."

Eric Wang smiled meaningfully. He knew Fang Bai had 5,000 yuan, and if he offered a higher price, Fang Bai would not be able to afford it.

"Mr. Wang, you are kidding me. Who would buy second-hand machine tool parts? Even if you buy them, it is difficult to find matching ones.

Therefore, this type of equipment can only be sold as scrap metal. "

Fang Bo said disdainfully that there are not many second-hand machine tools of the same model and they are not as easy to assemble as cars.

Eric Wang shook his head: "It's impossible to sell it as scrap metal. Just tell me how much you can give me. If I think it's suitable, I'll sell it. Otherwise, don't mention it. It hurts our feelings."

After Eric Wang said this, Fang Bo finally detected his inner thoughts and knew his price range.

The machine tool I bought for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan has only been used for a few years and most of its functions are still working well. It is indeed impossible to sell it as scrap.

Today's steel price is about 1,500 yuan per ton. The net weight of the equipment is 3.5 tons, of which the steel part accounts for about 3 tons. The highest recycling price of the steel plant is definitely less than 2,500 yuan. If it is sold to a scrap collector, it would be good to get 1,500 yuan. Eric Wang is certainly not happy.

"Three thousand dollars."

Fang Bo replied that this was Eric Wang’s desired price.

For Fang Bo, if the repair can be done well, he can make a profit of 7,000 to 10,000 yuan.

If the repair is not good, it is just a small loss, which is acceptable.

"Can."

Eric Wang hesitated for a moment and decided that three thousand was just the right price for him, as long as it was slightly higher than the steel plant's recycling price.

As a boss with assets of over one million yuan, he won't worry too much about small amounts. It's enough as long as he feels that it's about right.

If he were to replace the entire spindle frame and maintain the column of this machine, it would cost him about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and there was no guarantee that it could be repaired. So he might as well buy a second-hand machine.

"Let someone loosen the locking bolts between the equipment and the ground first. I'll come over to move the equipment in the next two days and I'll pay you then." Fang Bo said, spreading his hands, "I don't have any money on me."

"no problem!"

Eric Wang smiled, feeling that he had solved a problem, and turned to Ma Jingsen, "Have someone dismantle the equipment, and I will buy a new one."

"OK."

Ma Jingsen didn't expect that the boss would agree to this deal. Three thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. He never thought that an inconspicuous apprentice could be so rich!

As for the price, it's about the same. I really don't know what Fang Bo is going to do with it. He might end up being taken advantage of.

No, you will definitely lose a lot of money!

too young!

He really thought it was so easy to make money. I really don’t know where Fang Bo got the courage from.

Fang Bo didn't know what Ma Jingsen was thinking, and had never paid much attention to this person. He said hello to Eric Wang, and then went to the finance department to collect his salary.

He had worked for less than two months and had only earned a few hundred yuan, but this was not a small amount of money, and Fang Bai had to calculate every dollar he spent carefully.

One dollar is not a small amount of money these days!

Enough for most people's food expenses for a day.

Nowadays, in Wencheng vegetable market, a pound of pork belly costs about RMB 1.7. For most families, it is not easy to have meat on a regular basis.

Fang Bo remembered that only when he and his sister came home from school on weekends would his parents be willing to spend money to buy meat. The amount they bought was not much, just enough to satisfy their cravings, and his parents would try their best to give it to him and his sister.

The fat is used for frying and stir-frying vegetables. Put a few pieces of fried fat when stir-frying vegetables for each meal.

Lean meat is generally used to make broth or stir-fry melon, and is generally not used for frying to make barbecued pork.

Want to eat spiced beef? That's impossible.

Eggs are cheaper than meat, but they are not available every day.

Fang Bo and his sister were boarding students. They took rice from home to school to exchange for food coupons. As their family did not have much arable land, they often had to buy rice from the market.

We brought pickles from home, and occasionally some meat. We ate pickles mainly because they could be stored and saved money, and then we got rice from school. The school also had meat dishes, but most students were reluctant to spend money.

Nowadays everyone is thin. For example, Fang Bo is 176 cm tall and weighs only 125 catties.

During the time in the hospital, Fang Bo was able to eat a little pork in fast food every day, but his parents mostly ate porridge and steamed buns to save money.

Therefore, Fang Bai’s current dream is to solve the food problem for his family and have meat to eat every day.

Especially since my younger sister is still in the growing stage, she currently looks like a wilted cucumber.

He now has 5,000 yuan, but he dare not spend it carelessly.

On the other hand, he is racing against time, cherishing this golden age and making more money. He should not waste time to save money and should spend what he should spend.

After Fang Bo left Eric Wang Company, it was noon. He found a restaurant to have lunch, went back to the hotel to take a short rest, packed up and left the hotel.

Next, he plans to rent a house and start a business, while also repeating his senior year to prepare for the college entrance examination.

During his time in the hospital, he had already thought about how to accumulate the first phase of startup funds.

Now is the golden age of economic development. The market has been liberalized all of a sudden, and long-accumulated demand has gushed out. The market is blank, and it is completely a seller's market. It can be said that business opportunities are everywhere.

Walking on the street, you can see all kinds of food, clothing, and toys on the stalls, carrying all the desires and passions of people.

Even if you only have a few dozen dollars, as long as you can find a supply channel, setting up a stall to sell small commodities such as calendars is better than working.

Of course, due to the lack of mobile phones and the Internet, information was closed and funding was not the main problem.

It’s the information asymmetry, and secondly, whether one has the courage to take the plunge.

Fang Bo thought about letting his parents do something instead of working, but it is difficult to change their ideas at present. Only when he makes something first and lets his parents taste the sweetness will they change.

There are many industries and ways to make money, such as exchanging canned food for airplanes, buying electronic products from Zhongguancun and selling them elsewhere, opening supermarkets, opening game rooms, selling overstocked products through lotteries, speculating in stocks and real estate...

However, the current economic system is not very sound and the business environment is not very good, so not all opportunities are suitable for him.

For example, exchanging canned food for an airplane, Fang Bo was not confident that he would be so lucky as to not be killed in the Bear Country. When a person dies, it is like a light going out, and no matter how much money he makes, it is useless.

There are many second-rate people playing games in the game room. They often threaten to kill and demand protection fees. Smashing the machines is a small matter. If things go wrong, their families may be implicated.

It takes several days to go north to purchase goods. After enjoying the convenience of high-speed rail, I definitely don’t want to experience the crowded, slow, and full of petty theft green-skinned trains again.

From a God's perspective, everyone is confident that they are awesome if they are reborn.

If he didn't have the golden finger, he might have followed the path of those who were reborn.

But with the golden finger, he has more ways to make money.

In addition, Fang Bo felt that the path designated for him by the golden finger would not be so simple. It could not be measured simply by money. Only after continuous upgrades could these secrets be revealed layer by layer.

Therefore, after comprehensively considering his own situation, Fang Bo found that there were several ways to make money that were more suitable for his rules before going to college.
