Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 374 Warm Heart

Guo Jiaming sneaked home in the middle of the night, only to see seven or eight waste collectors crowded into his shack. Everyone glanced at him and completely ignored him, only Yuan Mei said lightly: "I didn't cook, I ordered takeaway for you, go to the kitchen to eat."

Guo Jiaming didn't care why there were so many people in his house. When he entered the kitchen, he found that his wife had left him a portion of beef rice, which was better than the usual meal, so he immediately ate it with satisfaction. After eating, he saw Yuan Mei sending his companions away, still urging him non-stop.

"Excuse me, everyone. I want second-hand clothes to be delivered on time. I will charge as much as I can. If I can deliver the clothes earlier, I will add 10% to the price."

"It doesn't matter if it's new or old, as long as it can be worn. People nowadays have some old clothes. Anyone can do this. Please help me promote it."

Guo Jiaming wiped his mouth full of oil, and asked his wife's strange words: "Daughter-in-law, what's the matter? Did you find a way to make money?"

"Today, Xiao Zhou wants to collect a batch of second-hand clothes from me. The quantity is quite large, and the time is urgent. I want to let everyone out of this business and make money together."

"That bastard wants to do business with us?" Guo Jiaming felt the sun come out from the west, "Didn't he come here to beat me? Don't be fooled."

"They paid a deposit, how could they come to lie to us?"

"How much deposit did he pay? It's not enough if it's less."

"He originally wanted to pay one million yuan, but I only charged fifty thousand yuan."

"What...? Pay one million and receive fifty thousand, you stupid!"

Guo Jiaming opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't count how many zeros there are in a million. Finally, he grabbed his wife's hand and asked, "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Yuan Mei felt that she had said what was in her heart to Zhou Qingfeng today, and her mind suddenly relaxed a lot. And the desire to be a cow and a horse for the Guo family for the rest of his life is uncontrollably fading, and he has no patience with Guo Jiaming as before.

The couple didn't sleep all night. One was worried about how to do a good job in the business, and the other was worried about how to spend the money. However, the next day, the entire Tianyang City collected waste as if it was a riot. The news spread that someone wanted to collect a large number of used clothes, and the price was quite lucrative.

You must know that collecting old home appliances, old furniture, and scrap metal can make money, but old clothes are really hard to get rid of. Now even the impoverished mountainous areas are unwilling to accept any old clothes, but there are too many old clothes in the city. This is really easy to make money!

Aunt Zhang went out to buy vegetables early this morning,

Before leaving the community, I found someone blocking the stairs and asked enthusiastically: "Auntie, do you have any old clothes? Buy them at a high price! Sell me all the tattered clothes that don't have room at home."

Behind the old clothes collector was an electric tricycle, and there were already large bags of second-hand winter clothes piled up on the car. Neighbors in the same building gave away their old clothes, and the price was indeed several cents higher than usual.

The old lady couldn't bear this kind of taking advantage of things. She had never heard of selling old clothes and raising prices. Now when she heard that someone had opened up the purchase, she immediately didn't even buy food, and when she got home, she cleared out all the old clothes in the closet that had been stored for 20 or 30 years.

These days, Chinese society is stable. Even if every household has no money, they have a lot of clothes accumulated over the years. But now the style of clothes is also trendy. In the past, no one liked to wear those clothes that were not so cheap. But these clothes cost a lot of money when they were bought, and they are often reluctant to throw them away. Over time, the closet is full of piles.

Aunt Zhang cleared out five large bags of old clothes from her closet in one go. These clothes were not given to waste collectors in the past. But this time, I changed more than two hundred yuan, which made the old lady happy for a week.

The news of sudden price hikes in used clothes is too abnormal for many people, and this abnormality means a lot of money. Some people are waiting for the price, some are hoarding, but for Yuan Mei, it is a huge cash flow in his hands. The young woman never thought that she could spend tens of thousands of yuan in a day.

According to Zhou Qingfeng's request, Yuan Mei rented a warehouse in a remote place on the outskirts of the city early in the morning. At noon, someone delivered a large amount of old winter clothes to her by truck. Since these are all collected from residents' homes, the clothes are not clean, but they are not dirty, and they can basically be worn out.

Now that the labor market in Tianyang City is cheap, Yuan Mei hired more than 20 part-time workers to inspect and unload the goods. From morning to night, Tianyang City, with a population of more than half a million people, collects more than one hundred tons of used clothes a day, almost filling up a warehouse.

Looking at the mountains of second-hand winter clothes, Yuan Mei really couldn't figure out what else to do with these rags. She regretted that she was too big-hearted, and she used up all the deposit of 50,000 yuan at once, and owed others tens of thousands. She contacted Zhou Qingfeng with some anxiety, but within a few minutes, there was an extra one million balance in her account.

The bank's mobile phone text message showed six zeros, just counting these zeros made Yuan Mei's heart beat wildly. To be honest, she has never had so much money in her bank account, and Zhou Qingfeng's request is - continue to collect, but store it in another warehouse. He will take away the clothes collected today overnight.

Before nightfall, Yuan Mei paid the day's laborers at the warehouse door. Holding a million dollars in her hands, the young woman was so proud that she gave each part-time worker 50% more wages, ordered fast food for them, enough beer, and agreed to hire these people tomorrow.

The part-time workers who can come to work hard are not rich, so they are naturally happy to get more money, and they yell a few times when they have enough food and drink to hear that there will be work tomorrow. It is not easy to find such customers these days.

Waiting for the workers to leave, the inside and outside of the warehouse became quiet. Yuan Mei listened to the crickets chirping in the wild, and sat alone on a bag of clothes in the cool breeze, giggling.

Get rich, get rich, really get rich!

Yuan Mei took out a calculator in his hand, and after a simple calculation, he found that he had earned thousands of dollars today. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of others and fulfill Zhou Qingfeng's request as soon as possible, she kept her profit extremely low, but it was already a miracle for her to earn thousands of dollars a day like this.

"Look at you, smiling like a fool." Zhou Qingfeng walked into the warehouse with a lunch box, "I guess you didn't have dinner, right?"

"Am I stupid, how can I be as smart as you?" Yuan Mei also smiled. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng appear, this dilapidated warehouse in the wilderness became a bit more colorful in her eyes, and she didn't feel bitter after a day of hard work. Look at the dinner that Zhou Qingfeng sent, it's even more considerate.

"Eat, silly woman." Zhou Qingfeng opened the lunch box, and the chicken soup in the insulated box was fragrant, and the smell whetted one's appetite. "I don't want you to work for me and wear yourself out."

"I am willing." Yuan Mei's tone was flat but firm, her eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Qingfeng, and she felt happy doing anything for the man in front of her. (To be continued.)
