Qin Jun just listened and said nothing, because he believed that the price offered by the boss was really not expensive!
I don’t know if this boss really doesn’t understand the market, or if he has been collecting scraps for a long time, and everything seems to be scraps.
Since it is a waste product, how high can the price be?
The gear, together with the internal shaft and bearings, cost five yuan in total. This is the most expensive thing.
Like the chain, which only cost three yuan, and the bell, which actually cost three yuan.
The remaining items were all severely damaged and were priced at ten cents per pound.
A chain saw, including the frame and so on, weighs only sixty-eight pounds in total, less than fifty pounds.
In other words, Qin Jun bought a broken water pump, a scrapped bicycle accessory, and a chain saw for a total of nine yuan and sixty cents.
Including the complete accessories, the total cost is only twenty-two yuan.
The three people were carrying backpacks and holding various odds and ends in their hands.
Especially the water pump and chain saw, these two items are the heaviest and can only be carried by Qin Feng.
As for Qin Jun, he was carrying the scrapped parts of the bicycle.
These smashed twists have not been taken apart at all. They are still in one piece, which makes them easier to take away.
Finally, there is Zhao Erwa, who is holding some bits and pieces of other accessories.
When the three people walked out of the scrap collection station, Qin Feng couldn't help but said: "After spending so much money, are you sure you can repair it?"
Qin Jun saw that Zhao Erwa was also listening with his ears pricked up, so he smiled and said: "Of course it can't be repaired, the frame can only be remade."
"Can this be assembled into a bicycle?" Zhao Erwa said a little surprised.
Qin Jun nodded with certainty: "It can be done, but the difficult things are the small ones. We have bought them all."
Zhao Erwa thought, isn't this big frame just made of several steel pipes welded together? This good thing is really not difficult for Qin Jun to make.
After thinking about this, Zhao Erwa showed a smile on his face.
At this time, he was thinking a little too much, because he knew that as long as there was a bicycle frame and other accessories, he could buy it at the repair shop.
While walking and talking, Zhao Erwa was already settling accounts in his mind.
If Qin Jun can make a large car frame and can buy all other things, he can assemble more than just a car.
Now let’s see how much it costs to assemble a car after having a frame, and whether it’s worth it!
Zhao Erwa is quite familiar with bicycle accessories.
He remembered that the front and rear tires cost 40 yuan, the new handlebars seemed to cost 14 yuan, and the front and rear forks did not cost more than 12 yuan.
The seat, back seat, pedals, pedals, etc., all taken together, only cost more than thirty yuan.
Besides gears, bearings, etc., two of them shouldn’t cost more than thirty yuan.
what else? The fenders, chain box, and chain all cost twenty yuan in total.
Plus the brake system, this shouldn't cost more than ten bucks.
Calculating it this way, not counting the frame, the cost of assembling a bicycle is only one hundred and fifty-six yuan. Even if it is one hundred and sixty yuan, it seems that it can be done.
Because you assemble your own bicycle, you don’t need a bicycle ticket!
The three people returned to the commune and directly deposited all the things they bought in the commune.
It was almost time to leave, Qin Jun and the other three walked quickly to the station.
After getting on the bus and paying the 90 cents for the ticket, the three of them had time to talk.
Naturally, not everyone is willing to spend 30 cents for a ticket per person, so there are not many people on the bus at this time.
The three of them got together, and Zhao Erwa talked about the accounts he had just calculated.
If there is a frame, the cost of assembling a bicycle will never exceed one hundred and sixty.
"Is it so expensive?" Qin Jun said in surprise.
"Is this expensive? I don't need a bicycle ticket!" Zhao Erwa looked at Qin Jun strangely.
Qin Jun was speechless. Are these new bicycle accessories so expensive?
If it is really so expensive, then how do the people who assemble and sell bicycles operate after being reborn?
In his previous life, Qin Jun had no money and no idea to assemble his own bicycles and sell them.
He was misled by the novel and actually wanted to assemble a bicycle.
Although he didn't intend to sell it and knew that selling it was a joke, he really didn't know it was such a big joke.
As for buying scraps at the scrap collection station today, what he wanted was the fun of Taobao, and he really didn't expect how much advantage he could get.
After all, we are reborn in this world, who doesn’t have a few projects to make quick money?
Where is the real need to use waste products to improve life?
However, now when he heard the prices of bicycle accessories, Qin Jun knew that it was absolutely unprofitable to assemble bicycles!
Let’s not talk about whether you can buy the frame. Even if you can buy it, do you know the ex-factory price of a frame?
Just three steel pipes welded together and painted, the bicycle factory dared to sell them for 60 yuan.
These days, the added value of industry is so high.
Because the people in the bicycle factory are not fools, who doesn't know that with a frame, it can be easily assembled into a bicycle?
If bicycle factories really sell bicycle frames in large quantities, wouldn't everyone be able to assemble a bicycle by themselves?
If this is the case, are bicycles still rare?
Some workers in machinery processing factories can certainly make bicycles by hand, but few actually make them themselves.
Let’s not talk about legality or illegality. Can a person make all the parts of a bicycle by hand?
If not, then you have to buy some parts, such as two tires, which is forty yuan.
In fact, it is definitely not cost-effective to do this. Otherwise, how difficult would it be to make just a bicycle frame?
Of course, it’s not completely impossible because it’s difficult for rural people to get tickets.
Therefore, even if you put together a bicycle piecemeal, it is still appropriate as long as you don’t need a ticket.
However, if you want to use this to make money, you are simply overthinking it!
The Qin army has calmed down, after all, there is no profit.
However, Zhao Erwa and Qin Feng were very excited at this time.
Now in rural areas, many times even if you have money, you can't buy what you want!
Not to mention bicycles, even a washbasin and a thermos bottle require industrial coupons!
Now that we can have a bicycle that doesn’t require a ticket, who cares about the price?
Well, Qin Jun cares!
He has already thought that if it is only used for transportation, the bicycle can be simplified.
He could make the frame himself, or even use bamboo wood instead.
The handlebars can also be made. Just refer to the balance cars played by children in later generations. This is very simple.
The frame and front fork are connected and manufactured in an integrated manner, which is simpler and saves processes.
In this way, only the power system is left, which needs to be carefully studied.
In this way, only the front and rear wheels, together with gears, bearings, shafts and chains need to be purchased, and at most the braking system.
How much would it cost to just buy these?
It doesn’t seem to be more than seventy yuan? If I could build a bicycle with such a small amount of money, would anyone want it?
After just a brief mention, Zhao Erwa and Qin Feng became extremely excited.
They originally planned to spend 160 yuan to assemble a bicycle themselves.
I didn’t expect that I only need seventy now, so what else did I think about? Definitely want it!
"Young man? You're not bragging, are you?"
"That's right. The most difficult part of the bicycle is the frame. Can you make it yourself?"
"How to fix the handlebar?"
"Where are the front and rear forks? This purchase is also very expensive!"
"There are also front and rear seats. Can this be used?"
"Huh? If you think about it this way, if you really make these parts yourself, it really won't cost much!"
"Young man, which team are you from? How dare you say that you can make bicycle frames?"
"This is not important. In fact, many machine processing factories can make the frame."
"Don't think too much, they can make the frame, how can you still find someone to make the handlebars for you?"
"I think the saddle is the hardest to make. Do you need to buy the springs inside?"
...
Qin Jun and the others had just been discussing for a while when the whole bus became lively.
As the number of people present increased, more and more people noticed Qin Jun and the others.
After all, they are too conspicuous, and the most conspicuous one is the Qin Army.
No matter where he goes, he carries something that looks like an iron rod, so he is naturally very conspicuous.
Therefore, many people heard Qin Jun's conversation.
These young people were actually discussing assembling their own bicycles.
Moreover, the discussion was very professional and did not sound like bragging.
As a result, many men in the car became very excited.
Qin Jun had no choice but to chime in and say a few words.
He knew that no matter how detailed he said it, few would actually do it.
