[Episode 23] Time to lose weight
12th to 16th.
The net weight that was passed on to Myungsan for a total of 5 days was about 120 tons.
Despite diligently passing two cars a day, the light weight was still piled up quite a lot.
The day to start the day of the week.
On April 17, Kang Pil-joong, who had gone to work from 8 am on Monday morning, looked at the scrapyard with a proud expression.
“What are you looking at?”
“just… I was looking at the scrap yard. By the way, if we take out Kyung A together, the time may be tight.”
“Well, you have to subtract the weight first and pass the light weight on later. What matters now is the weight. If a telecommunication truck comes three times a day, and Manager Kang carries it with a tong truck, you will be able to remove it sooner than you think.”
three per day.
In addition, it was decided to attach two tong trucks operated by Myeongsan.
It was also a time when Kang Pil-jung had to directly deliver scrap metal to Myeongsan with a forklift.
It was agreed to finish loading the telecommunication truck in the morning and transport it with a tong truck the rest of the time.
The three fire trucks were capable of loading up to 75 tons per day.
“What, is the unit price going to drop right now?”
There are still 7 days left.
There was one more week left.
However, it was not possible to know the details of the future time, which can be checked on a monthly cycle.
‘You should try to subtract as much as possible before the 24th arrives.’
If the unit price went up further, it was unavoidable.
However, it is more likely that the unit price will remain the same or fall.
Because the unit price of 350 won did not seem to be maintained for a long time.
Paang-!
At that time, a bulletproof car came into the junkyard.
A 45-ton truck painted in red came in and brought it to the weighbridge, and Si-Woo Lee approached.
“I’ll keep you busy. Wait.”
It was one of the articles that came last week.
Siwoo Lee couldn’t have a proper conversation because he had a meeting, but he remembered his face.
“Are you in the yard from today, Manager Kang?”
“I think so. I think I will have to deliver the goods to Myeongsan with a forklift.”
The driver got out of the car with a bright expression and shook his head as he looked at the junkyard where the weight was piled up.
“Could it take another week?”
“Well, I have to take it out as much as possible. It’s a matter for the boss to decide. When you become a chaperone, please park your car straight, driver.”
“Yes, Manager Kang.”
Thirling-
When the bell rang, the driver went straight to the car.
The car was then moved several times and parked so that the load could be comfortably loaded.
Kang Pil-jung gave the hand signal from behind and helped the vehicle to stand upright.
Si-woo Lee, who came out of the office, put on a work glove and turned his head.
‘Finally, the time has come to let go of the child I was holding in my arms.’
It was a scrap metal that I had been holding for a really long time.
Guys like Gyeryuk would now be transformed into treasures.
“Please take a look at the office, Manager Kang.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Tell them that if you two go to work, you can finish what you did yesterday.”
08 excavator.
There were usually few excavators in small junkyards.
Even if there is an 04 excavator.
The 08 excavator was located just below the large excavator called Ten.
A ten excavator that has the power and can extend longer.
Of course, loading and unloading with the 08 excavator was easy.
Woo-
RPM.
In terms of vehicles, it could be measured by gears.
It was a device that could control whether the power was applied to the end or the power to the middle.
The car had been started and warmed up before entering.
Si-woo Lee got into the cockpit, raised the RPM, and started operating the excavator.
First of all, the important thing was that the turning radius of the excavator had to exist so that the car could not reach it.
It was because there was a certain amount of space to turn the excavator at will.
‘Shall we do it step by step?’
Loading and loading a light weight and loading a weight are different.
This is because the weight of one piece of scrap metal is different in the first place.
Instead of being small in volume, it weighs that much.
Conversely, bulky and lightweight without weight.
In the case of light weight, hammering is required, but in the case of heavy weight, Jin said that the desired weight would come out by just loading and unloading.
40 minutes after starting the loading, a driver who checked the pile of scrap metal approached the excavator with Si-woo Lee.
“I think we can stop loading it now, sir.”
“Yes. Weigh it once.”
With those words, Siwoo Lee got off the excavator and cleaned up the scrap metal that had fallen around him.
Park Tae-moon and Choi Moon-sik, who were working in the yard, saw the scene and hurried to run.
“Oh!”
tuk tuk-
After cleaning the floor, Park Tae-moon patted the car with his hands and shouted.
Total weight 42,900 kg.
The weight was slowly adjusted.
In order to avoid overload, the total weight should not be more than 43 tons.
A total of 25,180 kg of scrap metal was loaded in this vehicle.
This one car was loaded with scrap metal worth 8 million won.
“I’ll tell you to come in the next car right away.”
“That’s right.”
After finishing his work, the driver parked the car in the corner and called the next driver.
The truck ended sooner than expected.
At the speed at which Siwoo Lee was loading and unloading, he could load three cars a day in no time.
‘Am I talented? Or is it because you like scrap metal, so you just scooped it up and finished it early… … .’
Even an experienced excavator driver would normally take an hour to complete.
However, Si-woo Lee finished the loading car in 40 minutes.
I learned the senses while loading and unloading the light weight last week, and I tried to adapt as quickly as possible while loading and unloading the weight this week.
‘Heavy weight is easier to load than light weight.’
But that thought was a mistake.
As soon as the next vehicle arrived, Siwoo Lee started loading the car.
When he reached the same height as before, he stopped the excavator.
However, when I weighed it, it weighed 1 ton more than before.
“Do you think it would be enough to lower it by one ton?”
“Give me some tea. I’ll drop you off right away.”
If this car was a vehicle going into a steel mill, it would be a task that would have to be repeated several times.
However, this car was going to go to the yard of Myeongsan Steel.
It was not necessarily a highway, but a distance that could be moved on a national road.
That also means you don’t have to worry about overcharging.
However, if it exceeds the loadable weight, the vehicle may be overloaded.
Therefore, the knights wanted to match the weight as much as possible.
Si-woo Lee picked up the scrap metal at the back of the car with tongs and threw it back into the scrapyard.
Then I had to redo the leveling.
If there is a curvature, the scrap metal will roll and fall.
After another 20 minutes, the car went up to the weighbridge again.
Some weight has been adjusted.
43,300 kg.
I weighed 44,200 kg earlier, so I had to unload about a ton.
“I’m going on a national road, so it can weigh more than 43 tons. Then I will tell you to come in the next car, sir.”
“Yes, you do. You suffered. drive safely.”
It felt like gin.
The tongs didn’t even go in so the car wouldn’t get damaged.
There were no tongs to be seen inside the room.
I just had to judge the depth of a certain burial with a sense.
It takes about three tongs to unload a ton of scrap metal from the car, but if the scrap metal accidentally fell, the car could be damaged.
So it was also a task that required extreme concentration.
As the next car entered, Siwoo Lee wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
“Let’s take a break, knight.”
“All right. I’ll just give you some tea, sir.”
Si-woo Lee, who came into the office, filled a paper cup with water and drank it gully.
“Hey, this is the last car.”
“You look difficult.”
“I’m not really used to being on a regular basis. It was easy to load and unload the light weight, but in the case of the heavy weight, it has to be loaded accordingly.”
“If you do, you will get used to it. Or how about getting a fork crane driver?”
“It would be nice, but… Because it’s all money. It’s better for me to just pamper myself, Manager Kang.”
If you are a large junk dealer, it would be right to hire an excavator driver.
But I couldn’t even find an article because it was hard right now.
It will be very busy for a while.
After sitting in the office for about 10 minutes and resting, Siwoo Lee came out again.
Last ride of the day.
I had to make a seat so that I could finish it quickly and deliver it to Myeongsan with a tong truck.
‘If you lose more than 100 tons a day… Maybe it’ll be all over in 6 days? Of course, the light weight remains, but that can be easily removed. Now, there are about 6 days left until the next stage of scrap metal generation.’
Siwoo Lee has been continuously producing 1 ton a day using scrap metal without missing a single day.
Of the 30 tons of weight that goes on to the next stage, only 6 tons remain.
Siwoo Lee, who entered the cockpit of the excavator with his neck broken, closed the door.
The last loader also couldn’t match the weight at once.
Seeing that the car weighed more than the previous vehicle, Siwoo Lee sighed.
After two rounds of reciprocation, Siwoo Lee, who barely managed to balance the weight, grabbed the large magnet with her tongs.
As soon as the magnet was connected and the scaffold was stepped on, rainwater scrap metal started to stick to the magnet.
An excavator clearing the scrapyard for a tong truck to enter.
After cleaning up everything, Siwoo Lee moved the excavator to one side and turned off the engine.
“Now I am done with my work.”
“I’ll give it a go, boss.”
I started the forklift and left it for about 10 minutes.
Every machine had to do something called a warm-up.
Nuri’s tongs came up on the weighbridge.
Thirling-
When the bell rang, Pil-jung Kang parked in the direction of heavy scrap metal.
woo woo-
Siwoo Lee, who watched the smooth movement of the tongs, entered the office.
Because I didn’t need to see them do the loading car.
‘Did all three cars weigh over 76 tons today?’
The total weight of the three cars was 76,030 kg.
Today, the amount that was loaded onto the Bangtong car was about 24 million won.
With that money, it was decided to start with the 30 million won advance deposit received from Myeongsan.
After all, even the light weight subtracted from last week will satisfy the operating cost.
‘If you include two tong trucks coming from Myeongsan, it will easily exceed 100 tons today. Then the amount will be more than all the advance payment.’
I bought it for 230 won to 240 won in weight and passed it on for 320 won.
I made a profit of 80 won to 90 won.
At this level, it was worthwhile to pile up scrap metal in the yard for several months.
The transportation cost was to be borne by Myungsan, so in terms of net profit, it was about 50 won in profit.
“I’m going to take a breather now. ha… … .”
relief that he lived.
With only 10 million won left in operating funds, he was given a chance to rise again.
‘If my father had seen this, he would have liked it… … .’
How difficult was it to be under financial pressure?
Now I can understand how worried my father must have been to get here with the least amount of money.
Siwoo Lee was also heartbroken as he saw the operating funds decrease.
Fortunately, I survived thanks to Myeongsan’s support.
bread-!
While Kang Pil-joong was loading the car, a tong truck came into the junkyard.
It was a vehicle larger than a 5 ton car.
After stopping the car on the weighbridge, it was Jin Jun-sik who got out of the driver’s seat.
Jin Jun-sik opened the office door and entered and bowed his head.
“Sir, I’m here.”
“Did you not know that Director Jin would come in person?”
“Haha, there aren’t that many forklift drivers.”
Although his position was director, he was in charge of the role of vice president.
When he didn’t know that, he didn’t have any thoughts when he first came with his tongs.
But after knowing his location, I thought it was quite surprising.
“The other one hasn’t arrived yet?”
“no. Waiting outside. It seems that Manager Kang is doing the loading table.”
“It will be over soon. Please remove the car from the weighbridge.”
“All right.”
The operating cost I was worried about could be resolved in two days.
If you export 100 tons of heavy scrap metal a day, it will cost more than 30 million won.
‘Is the only thing left to do now is make money?’
Of course, there was also the amount of scrap metal coming in each day.
However, if only an advance deposit of 30 million won was excluded, the remaining amount could be used entirely for operating funds.
I was very satisfied that I no longer had to ask Moon Jae-shin for the money.
‘It will soon be a month since I became the president. It is also the time when the scrap production ability moves to the next stage, and the unit price of scrap metal can be checked next month. I have been waiting for this day alone for a month.’
