Scrap Tycoon

My old uncle and I believed in the myth of sudden wealth from overseas oil and spent all our savings to invest abroad. As a result, we lost everything and were stranded in a depressed town. When he was desperate, he bought a shabby second-hand pawn shop and made a living by searching for old items in the warehouse. His income was all in US dollars. I am obsessed with exploring business opportunities in scraps, and my uncle loves to brag and make jokes. Soon, a thoughtful and mysophobic sister came from across the country to join the gang. The three of them teamed up and slowly worked their way up to become a well-known second-hand goods gangster in the town amidst the farce of picking up and overturning cars.
