To put it more accurately, this deal was set to exceed 3 million!
You see, in the small rented room where Xu Duo lived, there were still over 53,000 old batteries waiting to be refurbished. The reason she didn't sell them all at once was to avoid raising suspicions. If she bought 13,000 pounds of scrap iPhone 4 batteries and then sold 55,000 refurbished ones, it might seem like more than just a coincidence. It could be explained as simply having a large stock, but too many coincidences would make it harder to explain. It's always better to be cautious!
"Hey... Brother He, are these scrapped screens?" Xu Duo was brimming with joy inside, but her gaze fell on a massive box in He Dong's cabinet. She asked, feigning curiosity, "Are you just throwing these out? They can't be fixed, right?"
"They're definitely scrapped." He Dong glanced at the screens casually, then turned his attention back to Xu Duo with a knowing look. "Little sister, you... can you process these?"
"I can't fix them," Xu Duo responded calmly, without a hint of panic, "but I can extract some raw materials from them."
"I see!" He Dong seemed a little disappointed but quickly came to terms with it. These were shattered inner screens, which couldn't be repaired. "If you're interested, you can take this entire box. I'm throwing them away anyway, and if you can get rid of them, you're helping me out by handling the waste."
"No, no, I can't just take them. They have value, and I can resell them for a bit of profit." Xu Duo wasn't keen on taking advantage of the situation for free. She intended to make it a business transaction for both parties' benefit.
"In that case, just buy me a pack of cigarettes!" He Dong waved off the issue, not asking for money but instead a pack of cigarettes. Then he casually inquired, "By the way, do you have any original screens from disassembled phones?"
"I do!" Xu Duo, without missing a beat, replied, "I have a batch of small flower screens, not many though, around a hundred or so."
"Not a lot, but I'll take them!" He Dong wasn't expecting much but was surprised by her response. "Little sister, the market's been short on screens recently. You aren't planning to hoard them, are you?"
"Hehe..." Xu Duo smiled lightly, masking her true thoughts.
"Give them to me then, don't keep them!" He Dong urged.
"Alright..." Xu Duo pretended to hesitate, playing her part. "As for the price, let's check the screens tomorrow. Some might be in better condition than others."
"Right. Also, I know where you live, it's near my workshop," He Dong responded, not missing the chance to reaffirm their connection.
"I live on the first floor of building six!" Xu Duo clarified her address.
Everything was proceeding smoothly!
She arrived with two large boxes, and now she was leaving with one gigantic box. Her bank account had increased by 224,000 yuan, and tomorrow nearly 3 million more would be deposited. This feeling was beyond amazing.
More than ten minutes later...
Ding… A product that meets the requirements for refurbishment has been detected. Would you like to proceed?]
"Refurbish!"
Please select the refurbishment level!]
"85% new!"
The refurbishment cost is 6,450 yuan. Please top up your account.]
"Top up 6,450 yuan!"
Xu Duo quickly confirmed, her tone eager. "85% new. Don't let me down!"
"Tick-tock!"
In almost an instant, the massive box of broken screens was completely refurbished. The once shattered screens, both outer and inner, were now fully restored. Even the connectors, some of which had been removed, were as good as new, as if they had been magically restored.
This was the power of the refurbishment system!
"Unbelievable!" Xu Duo marveled as she inspected a few of the screens, "This is even more impressive than I imagined!"
The screens were in perfect condition, with no signs of repair. The outer screens were slightly old, and the inner screens had a slight color difference, which was why they were called "small flower screens." However, the imperfections were minimal, making them still valuable.
"Original small flower screens are worth far more than repaired ones!" Xu Duo muttered to herself, already calculating the price in her mind. "430 screens, just the right amount... This deal is going to make me a fortune."
The price of phone screens was nothing like that of batteries!
And these were iPhone 4 screens, one of the most popular models at the time. Even though the iPhone 4 had been on the market for nearly seven months, one screen was still worth around 1,600 yuan in Hua Shenbei.
If she sold them at that price, it would be more than 600,000 yuan.
And considering the cost? It was almost negligible!
The purchase price was just the cost of a pack of cigarettes—no more than 70 yuan at most. The refurbishment cost was 6,450 yuan, which meant the average cost per screen was only around 15 yuan. The overall cost was low enough to be almost insignificant.
"Now then..." Xu Duo began planning her next steps, her mind more focused than ever. The future was becoming clearer with each passing moment.
