[Episode 14] Scrap Metal
When you get off, you have to be careful when getting off.
That way, you won’t do twice what you can do once.
Kang Pil-joong skillfully moved the tongs.
Gently use a bandage to lower the lever from top to bottom.
The excavator has a joystick, but in the case of a forklift, it is operated with a lever.
There were a total of five levers that moved the tongs and bandages.
It was quite complex, so it was a skill that required skill.
However, Kang Pil-joong moved his tongs as if he was moving his own arm.
Seeing that, the man nodded his head with a ‘really’ expression.
“It’s always good to see you.”
Ishiu smiled faintly at the man’s self-talk.
“Because you’ve been working for forklifts for 10 years.”
“Ah, I was so embarrassed earlier that I couldn’t even greet you properly. It’s called necessity.”
“My name is Shiwoo.”
“You are amazing at such a young age. There is no other junk dealer who has piled up so many scraps like this during this time period.”
“thank you.”
There was no need to say that my father had collected this much.
‘My father did.’
Please don’t say useless words to the guests.
When he was young, Siwoo Lee was sometimes swayed around by his opponent while chatting with customers without thinking.
Each time, my father warned and scolded me.
The boss said that he should know how to hide his information as much as possible and get information from others.
So Si-Woo Lee did not tell the customers who came to the junkyard about personal matters.
“By the way, you seem pretty close with Manager Kang… … .”
“Ah, it’s close to the site where I was before and the friend’s previous workplace. After meeting as a former manager and Piljungi as a tong truck driver, it developed into an occasional drink.”
“okay. You are a good person. Manager Kang.”
“He’s a good friend. So when the junk came out, I first thought of that friend and contacted me.”
Si-woo Lee carefully checked the scrap metal being unloaded from the tongs.
Pretty good quality stuff.
Of course, the light weight was also mixed.
“Have you ever heard of a unit price?”
“no. I came here because the boss told me to see and decide.”
“Looking at the things that are being unloaded, it seems that there is quite a bit of light weight mixed in. Would you like to take the bill off?”
“yes. Still, I made a copy of my bankbook and brought my business license.”
The difference in unit price between paying bills and not paying bills was huge.
When it comes to architecture, there are a lot of things that naturally connect with antique dealers.
“The unit price is currently 250 won when you buy items such as reinforcing bars. It’s a little bit light too, so I think it’ll be around 240 won.”
“It’s okay. Thank you for hitting me generously.”
“no. Rather, thank you for the scrap metal. When you see them unloading, you can talk properly in the office, manager.”
“Yes, sir.”
I unloaded all the scrap metal and finally finished magnetizing the loading box.
When the tongs were lowered into the empty loading box, Lee Hyun-seong stepped on the footrest and checked the loading box.
It was a way to tell if things were dirty or clean.
Whether or not there was a lot of dirt or garbage left in the bin was decided.
“It is relatively clean.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Please put a tolerance on it.”
Si-woo Lee walked to the office with Pil-seong Yoo.
Then, the outstring, which serves as a support for the tongs, was lowered and the vehicle was placed on the scale.
As Kang Pil-jung said, the tolerance was about 13,450 kg.
“I weighed 5,440 kg. As I said, the unit price will be 240 won.”
“Yes, you do.”
5440*240.
It was 1,35,600 won.
It may be a fairly large price, but for a junk dealer, this tonnage was a natural weight.
He calmly pulled out a ticket and gave it to Yoo Pil-seong.
Then, Pil-seong Yoo handed him a business registration certificate and a copy of his bankbook.
“I will process the tax invoice by the end of today.”
“Yes, sir. Oh, and I have less than one more, are you going to take this next time?”
Hearing that there was a little more left, Lee Hyun-sung looked at Kang Pil-jung as he entered the office.
“How much scrap metal is left at the site?”
In response to Si-woo Lee’s question, Pil-joong Kang recalled the scrap metal left at the scene.
“Hmm, maybe more than half a car.”
“Then, sir, you’re going to finish cleaning it up today anyway.”
“If you do that, it’s good for us.”
The site should always be clean.
You never know when or where the officials will come out.
If the surroundings were clean, even the public officials would be able to catch less books.
“Then I will go right away.”
“yes. Please suffer.”
Kang Pil-joong and Yoo Pil-seong went out to the office park.
If there is something that comes to mind before the price goes up, it is good to bring it right away.
When the two left, Park Tae-moon and Choi Moon-sik stuck to the scrap metal that Kang Pil-joong had put down.
Their main task was to pick out non-ferrous metals to be among the scrap metal.
“Chief, is this a complete bonanza?”
“I know. There is a lot of wine and staples. Let’s pick it up before the next car comes.”
“yes!”
They say that you have to be diligent to survive.
That was an undeniable fact.
The non-ferrous metal had to be picked out as quickly as possible until the next scrap came in.
Si-woo Lee put on work gloves and headed towards the two of them.
Then he immediately joined them and hurriedly picked up non-ferrous metals.
The non-ferrous metals thus selected were moved to the backyard invisible to guests.
‘Of course, guests will know that there is non-ferrous metal in scrap, but it’s better to be invisible than to pick it out.’
After the selection of non-ferrous metals was finished, Park Tae-moon and Choi Moon-sik started moving the non-ferrous metals to the backyard with a rear car.
About an hour later, Kang Pil-joong entered the junkyard.
17,850 kg.
It was about a ton less than before.
However, this was not enough to worry about shipping costs.
Pilseong Yoo entered the junkyard and meticulously wrote down the weight.
“It’s about a ton less than before.”
“It is. Still, I’m glad I cleaned it all up today.”
It was definitely of better quality than the one I brought earlier.
However, I had no intention of raising the unit price that had already been decided.
Previously, it was bulky enough to be seen on top of the storage box.
But now it was not at the level that it would rise above the loading box.
‘It must have meant a bit more light weight.’
As expected, these items were better than before.
A vehicle raised to the weighbridge to unload all scrap and weigh the empty vehicle.
13,430 kg came out.
4,420 kg.
Again, this was something worth a million won.
“The unit price will be the same.”
“yes.”
“Then, if we add the two cars we brought today… That’s a lot of money.”
The total amount was hand-written on the payroll sheet.
A total of 2,366,400 won.
In terms of tonnage, it was 9,860 kg.
“It came out a lot more than I expected. I thought it would weigh seven tons at most.”
“There were also good things mixed in.”
“About a month ago? When I didn’t know about this, I pulled it out of another junk store. I don’t know how much the unit price has dropped compared to back then, but after I broke the bill, I paid 230 won twice, and about 7 tons came out.”
If it was a month ago, it was probably 20 won more when the unit price was better.
Even so, he gave me 230 won.
“It dropped about 20 won.”
“Oh, then, if I had passed it over here, I would have been able to get about 250 won.”
“Perhaps it is?”
“It is a thing of the past, but it is a pity. I’ll try to contact that friend right away… … .”
With a genuinely regretful expression on his face, Yoo Pil-sung shook his head strongly.
It was a pity, but it was enough to remove the items from now on so as not to cause any damage.
“If anything needs to be removed from another site, I will contact Piljungi.”
“Thank you for caring me.”
At that time, Pil-joong Kang, who parked the tong truck in the original place and came into the office, smiled as he saw Pil-sung Yoo and Si-woo Lee having a conversation.
“Are you satisfied with the unit price?”
“very good.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“I’ll tell you about the other scene. It’s unavoidable for a site where there are junk dealers who do business, but there are a lot of new architects coming in.”
“Thank you for caring.”
“I am more grateful. Thanks to you, I found a good place.”
Yoo Pil-seong, who had been in the office for quite some time, got up from his seat.
He walked out of the yard with a sad expression on his face.
“You must have been playing with the scales in the place you passed them on before.”
“It seems so.”
“You’re even playing with the scales while beating the unit price.”
scale prank.
It was a way of manipulating the weight with a computer.
As the unit price war heats up, there were times when junk dealers had to buy things without thinking about profits.
And the only way to make up for that loss was to play with the scales.
“You did a good job, so now he will come to ask for a business partner. They said that the construction will probably continue for about a year, and the construction is in the early stages, so if you manage the industrial complex well, there will be no worries.”
“Anyway, you worked hard.”
“no. Then I will prepare and go to Myeongsan.”
“Oh, and take this.”
stuff that hasn’t been delivered yet.
It was the key of a foreign car parked outside.
“This… … .”
“People curse when a salesperson drives a shabby car. ride this I’m not going to pull it anyway, so if I put it up, it’ll get old.”
“thank you.”
“Please take good care of me.”
Kang Pil-jung, who received the car key, nodded.
As Siwoo Lee said, a person who runs a business should always look neat.
Appearance was more important than any other job.
‘It’s my father’s car… It’s a car I bought for this purpose in the first place, so let’s not regret it.’
My father’s death I’ve been paying a fairly large sum for three years, not for the sake of luxury.
It was because the moment it looked shabby, it would interfere with sales.
Kang Pil-joong took a shower and left the junkyard.
In the meantime, Park Tae-moon and Choi Moon-sik started to pick out non-ferrous metals again.
Siwoo Lee left the office and relaxed.
“Would you like to tidy up?”
A space was created to raise and lower the scrap metal that Kang Pil-joong had put down.
While organizing, Kang Pil-joong picked out a light weight that he had not yet discovered.
Since I was working with a blunt machine, it was not something I could handle with care.
‘Still, this is enough to sort it out neatly.’
After tidying up, Si-woo Lee, who came down from the excavator, looked at the scrap metal.
30 million won received from Myeongsan, and 10 million won from the existing one.
It was a total of 40 million won.
However, if you were to pick up items from the field, you could not help but spend the money you had saved up faster.
What should be the circulation of money.
But now I had to stack things up, so I couldn’t proceed while turning the money.
‘Let’s just die for a month and hold on. Non-ferrous metals must be removed first in order to pay the employees’ salaries.’
The monthly fixed expenses alone exceeded 10 million won.
There was no need to pay a separate loan because this land was in the name of Si-Woo Lee.
However, the wages of the employees, excavators and forklifts, and the cost of fuel for the foreign car that Kang Pil-jung will be driving in the future.
Considering other expenses, I had to fasten my belt.
‘Let’s hold out as much as possible until the 40 won rises.’
Si-woo Lee was determined and looked at the scrapyard and entered the office.
‘Future City.’
As Si-woo Lee muttered to himself, one of the two abilities he gained from being struck by lightning, the future poem, appeared.
The last time I checked the unit price using future time was a week ago.
[You can check the next unit price after one month.]
‘Actually, if you know the next unit price after only a week has passed, the level has no meaning.’
