Chapter 30 Eating Tofu

The sales director of the Yellow River Factory personally delivered Wang Haibin to the door, and said with a smile: Director Wang, walk slowly!

Wang Haibin showed a grinning expression, but in his heart there were all kinds of MMPs.

This time, the purchase of the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck was not discussed again. To make it clear that even if you give money, no one will sell your car to you.

In terms of China at that time, the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck was indeed a relatively good heavy truck. Although there was some gap compared to imported heavy trucks, there was no need to spend foreign exchange! Therefore, the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck has been in a state of short supply.

If you want to have a car, you definitely don't have it.

Waiting in line, as to when to pick up the car, not sure.

It's not that Wang Haibin didn't want to send gifts in the past to clear up the relationship, but if you can give gifts, others will also give gifts, and others may not necessarily give less than you.

What's more, gift-giving is also a technical job. If you give a gift, it is still unknown whether the Yellow River Factory is willing to accept it or not.

Otherwise, Wang Haibin's business ability is average. Others buy things by shopping around and choosing the most suitable one for him, but this Wang Haibin can't buy anything even for his money.

Wang Haibin walked out of the office building of the Yellow River Factory, but saw the two master drivers from the freight department already waiting at the door.

The two masters have finished testing the car? How is the car? Wang Haibin asked.

Wang Haibin was eager for the two masters to say that the car was not easy to drive, so he had better pick out some faults, so that he could find an excuse to cover up his incompetence, and after returning, it would be like an explanation from the company leader.

Because the car is not easy to drive, so I didn't buy it. This is also an excuse, which is much better than the inability to buy a car.

However, the driver gave a thumbs up and said, This car is really a good car, it has good power, drives vigorously, and also has an assistant steering wheel, which is particularly labor-saving when turning, and you can turn the steering wheel with a little effort!

The Yellow River JN162 heavy truck is equipped with a hydraulic power steering gear, and the domestic cars at that time did not have power steering. For the driver, this power steering is the most practical configuration and must be praised.

Another driver said: The driver's seat in this car is also very comfortable. When I asked, I found out that people don't use spring shock absorbers, but hydraulic shock absorbers. Sitting on it is like a sofa. The road is all over the place.”

Also, the brakes of this car are also very good, what is it called a dead brake...

There is a sleeper behind this seat. When parking and loading and unloading in the future, you can go directly to the sleeper in the back...

The two drivers and masters are talking about each other. In short, they are introducing the various advantages of the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck.

Wang Haibin's face became more and more embarrassed. Finally, he interrupted the two drivers: Two, then does this car have any shortcomings?

The driver pondered for a moment, and then said, As for the shortcomings, there are some, that is, it consumes more fuel. I heard that this car burns 26 fuels per 100 kilometers.

26 oil? Our company's 140, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 20, right? Oil is an important resource of the country, and it must be exported to earn foreign exchange, so it can't be wasted! Wang Haibin looked happy, as if he had caught one A lifesaver.

But this car weighs ten tons. Another master said.

Wang Haibin was instantly discouraged.

Although the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the EQ140 of the Second Automobile is 20 liters, the load is only 5 tons. Compared with the Yellow River JN162, it only consumes 6 liters more oil per 100 kilometers, but the load is doubled.

The phrase loading ten tons made Wang Haibin know that the excuse for consuming more fuel was completely untenable.

The two master drivers are from the freight department. The people in the freight department will not endorse Wang Haibin. The two master drivers will report back when they go back.

Talking about how good this Yellow River heavy truck is, but Wang Haibin didn't buy a single car back, I'm afraid that the black cauldron is about to be forgotten.

It seems that this car still has to be bought. If it doesn't work, I have to go to the Provincial Department of Transportation to find a relationship and let the Department of Transportation approve a note in the plan!

Wang Haibin planned to go back to the guest house first, but only then did he realize that Li Weidong was gone.

Two masters, have you seen Li Weidong? He came with us, the guy in the auto repair workshop. Wang Haibin asked.

The two master drivers shook their heads at the same time: No, he should still be in the repair workshop of the Yellow River Factory. Otherwise, I will call him back.

Don't worry about him, let's go back to the guest house first. Wang Haibin said.

...

Jicheng is the provincial capital, and the offices of the provincial party committee departments are also in Jicheng, so in the afternoon, Wang Haibin went to the provincial transportation department, hoping to get the approval slip for the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck plan.

The planned materials are under the unified management of the State Planning Commission. They will allocate the indicators of various materials to other ministries and commissions, and other ministries and commissions will then be allocated to department-level administrative agencies and enterprises directly under the ministries. Department-level administrative agencies will then allocate materials to The prefecture-level administrative agencies and the enterprises directly under the department, and so on, until the lowest level.

Now that New Year's Day has just passed, the indicators for 1985 should not have been allocated yet. The Provincial Department of Transportation will definitely have indicators for the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck. Wang Haibin took this opportunity to go to the Transportation Department to ask for indicators, and it was just the right time.

However, for Qinghe Transportation Company, Wang Haibin's pursuit of the planned target, although not a bad move, is by no means a good move.

In the state-run transportation industry in the 1980s, they preferred to buy a car with their own money, rather than buying a car in a planned way, because it involved a problem of turning over profits to the state.

As a state-owned enterprise, it receives tasks from the state every year. If it is a production enterprise, what it receives is the production task. For example, a certain steelmaking plant, the task is to produce how many tons of steel; a certain textile factory, the task is to produce how much cotton.

The materials produced in the mission are the planned materials, which must be turned over to the state, and the state will manage and distribute them uniformly. The extra production beyond the task is the unplanned material, which does not need to be turned over to the state, and the enterprise can sell it and generate profit for itself.

However, it is not possible for enterprises to produce unplanned products indefinitely, because the means of production are also controlled by the state, and it is up to the state to decide how many means of production are given to you.

When the state allocates the means of production, it is calculated precisely, and it is impossible to give you redundant means of production.

For example, a certain steel plant, whose task target for this year is to make one million tons of steel, then the iron ore and coal given to you by the state are just enough to produce one million tons of steel. Is there much more?

At this time, if steel mills want to produce more steel, they have to buy iron ore and coal from the plan.

Steel plants are also happy to purchase raw materials from outside the plan for production, because the steel produced outside the plan does not need to be turned over to the state, but is the company's own profit. Enterprises can use this part of the profit to expand production, improve technology, or use it for employee welfare and build several family buildings.

The transportation industry does not produce materials, so the profits are directly turned over, which simply means that the money is earned and handed over to the state.

For example, Qinghe Transportation Company, this year, the state has assigned a task of 5 million yuan, and by the end of the year, it will hand over 5 million to the Transportation Bureau. Even if you complete the task assigned by the state, the transportation company can manage the extra money you earn.

Vehicles are the means of production in the transportation industry. For state-owned transportation enterprises, if the vehicle is purchased from the plan, then the state will calculate the capacity of the vehicles in the plan when formulating the task, and the task index will be higher.

To put it bluntly, since you want a car from the state, you have to pay more profits.

If the transportation company spends its own money to buy the car, then the transportation capacity of the car is no longer in the plan, and the state will not consider this car when assigning mission indicators. The money earned by this car belongs to the transportation company. own profit.

Based on the reason of turning over profits, transportation companies are of course more willing to spend their own money to buy cars. Although the money earned by state-owned enterprises is also owned by the state, it is impossible to kick it into their own pockets. But spending money on your own business is better than turning it over to the state. Improve employee benefits, build dozens of family buildings, or equip leaders with a new car, wouldn't it be fragrant!

It is precisely because of this that Wang Haibin came to discuss the purchase with the Yellow River Automobile Factory. He tried to buy a car outside the plan, but he couldn't buy it, so he went to the Department of Transportation to ask for the indicators in the plan.

...

The Department of Communications happily gave Wang Haibin the indicators for 10 Yellow River heavy trucks.

Wang Haibin knew very well that because of these 10 heavy trucks, the profit that the transportation company needs to turn over next year will increase again.

For the target of these 10 Yellow River heavy-duty trucks, Wang Haibin inevitably invited the leaders of the Transportation Department to have a meal, and he spent a lot of money for a meal, so that he could be reimbursed after going back.

After drinking and eating, Wang Haibin returned to the door of the guest house drunkenly, and happened to see a familiar figure. Wang Haibin took a closer look, and that person was Li Weidong.

With the light, Wang Haibin found that Li Weidong's face was also red, as if he had just finished drinking.

This kid still has money to drink! By the way, he is now working on a labor-for-work basis, and his salary is not less than mine, so he must have money to drink. Wang Haibin secretly thought.

Oh, Director Wang, just came back! Li Weidong also saw Wang Haibin, so he walked up to greet him with a smile.

Yeah, I just came back and went to the Department of Transportation to discuss business. In the evening, I went to the Provincial Party Committee Guest House to have a light meal with the leaders of the Department of Transportation. The chef of the guest house is really good, I heard that I have also learned Confucius cuisine, and the cooking is really exquisite!

Confucian cuisine is a famous dish! I heard that in the Song Dynasty, it was an imperial banquet. By the way, there is a first-grade tofu in the Confucius cuisine. I wonder if Director Wang, have you tasted it? Li Weidong asked with a smile.

It's a pity to say that this product of tofu has to be a direct descendant of Confucius cuisine to learn the essence. Even if the chef of the Provincial Party Committee Guest House knows how to make it, it is not authentic. But I heard that the chef of the Yellow River Factory Guest House, It is the direct descendant of Confucian cuisine.

Wang Haibin said, looked at Li Weidong provocatively, and continued with yin and yang: I have a chance in the future, I will go to the guest house of the Yellow River Factory and taste the tofu, I will tell you what it tastes like.

Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Li Weidong said with a weird smile, took out a box of matches from his pocket, put it in Wang Haibin's hand, and said, Director Wang, I went to dinner just now. , I took a box of matches, and I heard that you like smoking, so I will give you this box of matches.

I have a lighter! I don't need your matches. As Wang Haibin spoke, he wanted to return the matches to Li Weidong.

It was also at this moment that Wang Haibin caught sight of the words printed on the matchbox: Yellow River Automobile Factory Guest House!

Wang Haibin was shocked and immediately asked, Where did you get this box of matches?

The guest house of the Yellow River Factory! Li Weidong pointed to the words on the matchbox, and then said, I stopped by and had an authentic Yipin tofu.
