Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1955: The "Scavengers" of the Trading Market

Oil City.

Trading bazaar.

In the evening, three trucks entered the trading market from the buffer city. These three trucks did not go to the parking lot, but went straight to the newly opened electronic waste recycling station in the trading market.

This store is located at the northeastern edge of the trading market, connecting the east and west stores.

The store on the east side specializes in collecting electronic waste, and the store on the west side is located on Fuwu Street, facing the street, and sells various electrical and electronic products to the public.

Three trucks drove to the store on the east side of the main road.

A man with the gait of a dragon and a tiger jumped out from the passenger seat, his face filled with high spirits. He had gained a lot from this trip and was in high spirits.

Two people from the car behind ran down and followed the man at a quick trot.

"Brother Sha, we made a lot of money on this trip. How many points do you think we can get?"

Sha Xin thought for a moment and replied:
"I don't know either. I guess apart from the boxes of computers, monitors and the medical CT, which are more valuable, the rest will probably be weighed by kilogram."

Nan Dou complained a little: "Damn it, if we hadn't experienced so many natural disasters, these things wouldn't be damaged so badly."

Sha Xin didn't respond and walked into the store.

As soon as he entered, the store manager Song Yanghe saw him and a smile appeared on his face:
"Yo! Boss Sha is finally back. I haven't seen him for over a week."

"How is it? Are there any good stuff this time?"

The electronics recycling site is an official property of Oil City, and he is in charge of the entire site.

The collected electronic waste will be classified into different categories.

If the damage is not serious, hand it over to a mechanic for repair.

If the damage is serious, we will dismantle it, extract the parts or materials inside, and provide them to the Dazhangshu headquarters base and the oil city.

For example, lithium can be extracted from lithium batteries and used in energy storage systems.

The silicon in discarded solar panels is a semiconductor material, and the silver paste in the inverter is a conductive material.

Then into industrial machinery.

The servo motors and high-precision bearings inside damaged CNC machine tools can be removed and used to repair the mechanical core.

This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and only Oil City officials can do it.

But the benefits it brought were also enormous, greatly enhancing the industrial development of the Dazhangshu forces.

It also provides many electronic products for the trading market. Although they are all second-hand, they at least allow them to experience a part of the life before the end of the world.

The reason why Song Yanghe has such an attitude towards Sha Xin is mainly because Sha Xin can always bring some relatively intact electronic waste.

Natural disasters in recent years have destroyed many electronic industrial equipment.

Most of the things that scavengers bring back are garbage. There is no need to recycle them after they are disassembled because the cost is too high.

But the quality of what Sha Xin brought back was relatively high, and they were always able to find things that were not too badly damaged.

In addition, the quantity is also relatively large.

After only eight or nine days away, he brought back three truckloads of stuff, making him a veritable big customer of the e-waste recycling station.

Sha Xin smiled and shook hands with Song Yanghe, then pointed at the three trucks behind and said:

"I was lucky enough to find a mall with seven or eight boxes of computers and monitors that had not been soaked in water and still had the protective films. I wonder if I can use them directly after charging them."

"The others are rubbish, you decide on the price."

Song Yanghe raised his eyebrows when he heard that, Huh?

Not bad, I was able to find a computer that hadn’t been soaked in water.

However, he did not think that those boxes of computers could be turned on normally after charging. He had collected so many electronic products at the electronic waste recycling station, but he had never received a single one that could be turned on directly after charging.

After all, even electronic products that are sealed indoors and have never been opened will still be exposed to extreme high and low temperatures.

In recent years, the highest temperature has reached 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature has reached more than 70 degrees Celsius below zero.

In such extreme temperatures, almost all electronic products will be affected.

It's just that the impact will vary depending on the storage environment.

Most of them are problems with batteries, followed by problems with circuit boards and mechanical hard drives.

Song Yanghe nodded and shouted to the clerk Chen Jun in the back:
"Xiao Chen, call a few people to send it to Master Liu and have them test it."

Chen Jun called a few other shop assistants and went to the large venue next door with Gu Jia and the others.

This is the treatment for big customers. Ordinary small customers can just take the items to the counter for inspection and get the price determined on the spot.

As for the killing heart, the quantity is relatively large, so it needs to be directly towed to the nearby repair shop for inspection.

Gu Jia and his friends drove the car to the repair shop next door and helped move the electronic products down.

Master Liu is the chief repairman at the electronic waste station. He is very experienced and can repair everything from computers to rice cookers and hair dryers.

His testing efficiency is extremely high, and he can determine which component is faulty with just a simple disassembly.

Because the quantity was quite large, he called seven or eight inspectors to come and help with the testing.

Song Yanghe next door saw the truck coming over and said with a smile:

"Boss, you brought a lot of stuff here, so it will probably take three hours. How about going to my office and having a cup of tea while you wait?"

After hearing that it would take at least three hours, Sha Xin hesitated for a moment and shook his head:
"Forget it. I haven't showered for eight or nine days since I took my brothers out. I feel uncomfortable all over. I'm going to take a bath and eat something. I'll come back later."

"That's fine." Song Yanghe nodded.

When this e-waste station was first established, Sha Xin was one of its first customers.

After all, it is the official of Oil City, so Sha Xin is more trustworthy. Compared with the recycling of small workshop-style repair shops in other Oil City, this one is at least more trustworthy.

The things sold in those small workshops are extremely expensive, the prices they charge are extremely low, and they can’t handle a business of his size.

After watching Sha Xin leave the store, Song Yanghe returned to the office to continue his work today.

Just a few minutes after I sat down, a clerk next to me ran over.

"Brother Song, Manager Huang is urging us to deliver the items to the headquarters base, and asked when we can get them all together."

Song Yanghe searched the computer and found the demand form.

Most of them are red, which means they are not complete.

"Go put up a notice at the door, and ask Manager Huang to help post a task in the task hall according to this form."

"Okay, Brother Song." The clerk hurried away with the printed form.

A few minutes later, another person ran over.

"Manager, Mr. Zhao is here to cause trouble again."

"Damn it!" Song Yanghe was furious when he heard this, "Contact the patrol team and let them handle it!"

"What a fucking bullshit! There's even such a thing as that."

"The items he brought were priced based on inspections. We replaced the parts and repaired them, but he bought them again at the West Store and even asked us to refund the points. What the hell is he thinking?"

"Don't replacement parts cost anything? Don't repairs cost anything?"

"Go find the patrol!"

"Okay, Manager." With Song Yanghe's permission, the clerk no longer had any concerns.

He had been displeased with Mr. Zhao for a long time.

But after Sha Xin walked out of the store, he went to the repair shop next door and found Gu Jia and others.

He waited in the repair shop for more than ten minutes. After they had emptied the car of everything, he said hello to Master Liu and then drove away with Gu Jia and the others.

They immediately sent the car to a vehicle maintenance and repair shop, which was also officially opened by the Oil City. After paying a certain amount of points, they left.

This car maintenance and repair shop is not located in a commercial area.
Instead, it is opened in the transportation area of ​​the South District, where the venue is larger and parking is convenient.

The group returned to the accommodation building carrying their luggage and dragging their tired bodies.

They live in secondary housing, where the rent is neither expensive nor cheap.

They are level four personnel, and the rent for one person per day is 0.1 points, which means 0.7 points for seven people.

That’s 21 points a month, plus water, electricity and garbage disposal fees, it’s almost 25 points a month.

But for them, it's a piece of cake and there's no pressure at all.

With their financial resources, they could afford to live in a first-level house, but they often go out and are too lazy to go back and forth to check out the rental house, so they have been living in this room.

They chose an eight-person room and used the empty bed to store their belongings.

Building 42, Area B.

Shaxin and his group walked to the downstairs of the building with their luggage, and a man came towards them.

"Hey, Mr. Sha is back! It looks like he has come back with a great load again!" After seeing Sha Xin, the man smiled and took the initiative to greet him.

Sha Xin looked at Bai Xiaosheng coming down from upstairs and nodded.
"Bai Xiaosheng, is there any interesting news recently?"

This know-it-all usually doesn't go out, but stays in the trading market. He doesn't engage in infrastructure construction, but makes a living by collecting information.

I don't know how he did it, but he knows everything, from the policy trends in the Oil City to the new "Dragon Palace" outside, or which places outside have more zombies.

This "Dragon Palace" is a catchphrase among scavengers, treasure hunting in Dragon Palace.

It is easier to find usable supplies or things that can be brought back and sold in that area outside.

That’s why it is called Dragon Palace.

The information that led Sha Xin to go to Fuyang and find this batch of goods was what he bought from Bai Xiaosheng.

Although Bai Xiaosheng sometimes talks a lot of nonsense, he has a strong sense of professional ethics and the information he provides is basically useful.

Downstairs of Building 42.

Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile:
"Is the information I gave you last time reliable?"

"Well, that's good." Sha Xin looked at Bai Xiaosheng and suddenly had an idea.

If we can get this know-it-all into our team, we will be well-informed in the future.

It also saves you from having to go out and blindly look for places to scavenge.

"Bai Xiaosheng, the way you sell information is not very stable. Moreover, the value of the information you sell is too low compared to the items brought back by us scavengers."

"Are you interested in joining our team? We'll take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"

Facing the olive branch extended by Murderous Heart, Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand with a smile.

"No, I'm used to being free and idle, and I don't want to join any team."

"Besides, I am timid and have poor fighting ability. I don't want to go out and take risks."

In fact, many teams extended olive branches to him, but he refused them all.

The current life of selling information is pretty good. Although you can't make a fortune, it's enough to live on.

More points than those who work on construction sites.

Life is pretty good.

Moreover, if he joins a team, it will also affect his source of information.

The reason why he is so well-known is also somewhat related to the fact that he has no team.

Faced with Bai Xiaosheng's rejection, Sha Xin didn't care too much.

Invited: "Have you eaten yet? I'll treat you to a meal later, and then we'll have a bath and a massage together."

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and said:
"I have some interesting news. I think you might be interested."

"Oh?" Sha Xin raised his eyebrows and handed the luggage to Gu Jia.

"Second brother, help me carry the food upstairs. I'm going to go to the Macho Man's Restaurant to grab a seat and order some food while you guys come over."

Gu Jia took the luggage and said, "Okay, big brother."

Sha Xin pulled Bai Xiaosheng towards the commercial district.

"Bai Xiaosheng, tell me something?"

Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile:
"Did you know that there was a notice in the mission hall recently asking for a generator?"

"I don't know. I haven't been back for more than a week. What? Do you know where there are a lot of generators?" Sha Xin asked.

Bai Xiaosheng did not answer directly, but looked around and saw many people walking on the street.

It was evening now, and many people had returned to the buffer city construction site. It was also the busiest time of the day.

"I'll find a quiet place to talk to you later?"

"Row."

Sha Xin also knew the importance of the news. The generator was on the scavenger's list of items and was of great value.

Moreover, it is a long-term task in the mission hall. No matter how many generators you bring, the Oil City officials will accept them.

They didn't know that the reason why Oil City was collecting generators in large quantities was actually to assemble zombie generators.

After coming out of the residential building, the two headed straight for the commercial district.

The commercial district is very different now than it was before.

In the past, there was only one street from beginning to end, but now it has developed into four horizontal and five vertical streets.

The area is at least ten times that of a year ago and it is extremely lively.

The two entered from East Fifth Street. East Fifth Street had just been built not long ago. Many stores were being renovated and many construction materials were placed on the road.

After passing East Fifth Street, cross two streets and arrive at East Third Street.

The south side of East Third Street is home to street vendors, who serve small businesses that cannot afford to rent storefronts.

This street is extremely busy, and in the evening the sounds of vendors shouting can be heard here.

"Shaobing, selling shaobing, delicious shaobing!"

"Lemon tea with the same recipe as Mixue Ice City, now cheaper!"

"Second-hand collector's edition silicone doll, let you say goodbye to lonely nights~"

“1 point for 1 fast food meal!”

Shasheng glanced at the 1-point fast food and frowned. No wonder it was so cheap. It turned out that cheap things don’t come cheap.

Bai Xiaosheng saw the murderous look and said with a smile:
"Boss Sha, with your wealth, you should go to Tingfeng Tower. I heard that they have recently started to go to the hospital for physical examinations, and they can bring their own physical examination reports. It's very professional."

"Oh? You brought your own medical report. You're really professional!"

Sha Xin has always been a self-disciplined person, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have such a need. Submitting reports on his own solves his worries.

The two came to the main street, which was more prosperous than the other streets.

People come and go, and although it's not crowded, it's still very dense.

The two came to the Macho Restaurant, which was not a high-end restaurant, but had a strong flavor.

Spicy, salty, and oily.

But in the eyes of these people living in the last days, this tastes delicious.

"Eight people, take a number." Sha Xin saw that the room was full of people, so he had to take a number and queue up outside.
