In daily life, we often find that "traffickers" often go to the countryside to collect used mobile phones. Commonly used daily necessities are used to replace second-hand mobile phones from the people.
A mobile phone can't even be turned on. Why do these people change these mobile phones? What kind of mystery is hidden behind this?
Today, the author will decrypt the profiteering industry hidden behind the "trade-in" for everyone.
First, the sales of mobile phone parts.
The mobile phone is very complicated and consists of various components. For an old mobile phone, it may be because a component fails, which leads to the failure of the mobile phone.
Therefore, except for the faulty part, other parts can still work normally. Therefore, many merchants saw the business opportunities and went to the countryside to trade in the old ones and replace the used mobile phones with some daily necessities.
After that, the used mobile phones will be dismantled, and some mobile phone parts that can work normally will be sold to some manufacturers or employees who make a living by repairing mobile phones.
Under normal circumstances, a second-hand mobile phone can be disassembled into parts ranging from 30- 100 yuan. But the price of a pot is about 10 yuan, so it is profitable to trade in the old one.
Second, home appliance subsidies.
Disassembling mobile phone parts is the most unprofitable way in the "second-hand mobile phone" industry. As we all know, there is a subsidy for old mobile phones in the subsidy for home appliances.
We often find subsidies for home appliances ranging from 200 to 400 in shopping malls, and a mobile phone can be used for 200 yuan (depending on the situation of the mobile phone).
In order to subsidize the package, many merchants will collect mobile phones from traffickers, with a value ranging from 200 to 800 yuan. According to this scenario, we can see that the profit margin of "second-hand mobile phones" is very high.
Third, information request.
When the mobile phone is broken, people will throw it aside until someone receives it. However, even if the phone is broken, the information in the phone will not disappear.
When the mobile phone is in the hands of "traffickers", they will restore the mobile phone and then extract the information in it. After that, "traffickers" can sell this information or use it for personal criminal activities, such as fraud.
We often find that some fraudsters often know the victims very well, probably because of the relevance of mobile phone information.
It is said that the information in the second-hand mobile phone is of high value, and many fraud gangs buy it at a very high price, even reaching several thousand dollars (depending on the importance of the information).
However, the realization of information does not affect the value of the mobile phone itself.
Fourth, heavy metal refining.
It takes a lot of heavy metals to produce a mobile phone. For example, the circuit boards and batteries used in mobile phones contain a lot of heavy metals. The mobile phone can be disassembled after recycling, and then the heavy metals in the mobile phone can be extracted for recycling.
For any industry, it has its interest orientation, and the existence of any industry has its necessity. If there is no profit, there will be no one to run this industry.
Recycling "second-hand mobile phones" is itself a profiteering industry. It replaces mobile phones with low-priced daily necessities, and then redevelops them to profit from them. Because "second-hand mobile phones" involve personal information, I don't recommend you to sell second-hand mobile phones.
