Chapter 44 Dispatcher

As the founder of the transportation company, Mr. Li Dengke has always been a low-key existence. Even those masters who have worked for 20 to 30 years have not realized that the old accountant Li, who is smiling all day, is actually working in the transportation company. Thirty-three years.

When Li Weidong said Li Dengke's resume aloud, everyone suddenly realized that Li Dengke was the only founder of the three remaining transportation companies.

It is said that with Li Dengke's qualifications, he must be mixed into a leading cadre. However, Li Dengke was only an accountant until he retired. The reason why this happened was mainly due to the drag of his family.

When Li Dengke was young, his family was relatively well-off, and he had attended middle school. He was definitely not a poor family who could go to middle school at that time, at least he could not be classified into the category of poor peasants.

Li Weidong's mother, Zhou Yunxiu, even went to high school, and it was a church-run women's high school. Before liberation, those who could attend women's high schools, even if they weren't ladies, were still young girls, and had nothing to do with poor peasants.

This kind of family composition is also doomed that Li Dengke can only be a man with his tail between his tails, especially in the relatively special few years, he has been anxious every day. Go dream!

Li Dengke's generation has experienced too many hardships and hardships. They have their own way of survival. For Li Dengke, his way of survival is to keep a low profile, keep a low profile, and keep a low profile, so that he can protect himself and his family.

As a result, the veteran who established the transportation company was gradually forgotten.

...

The house assignment has come to an end for the time being. Those who have not been assigned a house, although they are unwilling, can only helplessly accept the reality. After all, ranking according to seniority is the tradition of state-owned enterprises. In this regard, no one can match Li Dengke.

The Spring Festival in 1985 was the latest day since the implementation of the Gregorian calendar. New Year's Eve was on February 19, and the Spring Festival was on February 20. After the Lantern Festival, it was already March 6, and it felt like spring was coming to an end.

After the Spring Festival, Li Weidong's family was busy moving.

At that time, the house did not need to be renovated, the walls were scratched with white, and a layer of cement floor was added, and it was possible to move in with a bag.

If you absolutely want to decorate, you can at most paint the lower half of the wall with a layer of red or green paint. If anyone can stick a few large white tiles, it will definitely be luxurious and refined.

As for the furniture, they are all made by hand. Some are carpenters, so they buy the materials themselves, make a bed, make a cabinet, make some tables, chairs and stools, and even a sofa can be made by themselves with good craftsmanship. If you can't work as a carpenter, you can only spend money to find a carpenter.

Li Weidong didn't have anything valuable at home, just a few clothes, plus pots and pans and other daily necessities. Originally, there was a flashlight, but the battery was dead, so the radio became the only household appliance.

Li Weidong borrowed an underground car and moved all his belongings to the new home in one trip. Several sisters, sisters and husbands moved several times each, even if the move was completed.

...

When spring blooms.

In front of the bulletin board of the transportation company, a new announcement was posted, which attracted many young people to stop and watch.

Li Weidong also stopped when he passed by. When he saw the content of the announcement, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The freight department is hiring a dispatcher! I can finally change jobs.

Li Weidong has long wanted to leave the auto repair workshop, but there is no suitable opportunity. Now this announcement just posted has given Li Weidong the opportunity to transfer jobs.

In transportation companies, vehicle dispatchers are considered as the core positions. Although dispatchers in transportation companies are also ordinary employees, they are managers. The dispatchers can manage vehicles and people. They have some power in their hands, which is definitely better than that of auto mechanics many.

Want to get a promotion in the transportation company,

They must also be familiar with the transportation business. The vehicle dispatcher has access to all aspects of the transportation business, so it is easier to get promoted.

In the leadership team of Qinghe Transportation Company, they basically have experience as a vehicle dispatcher, and among the middle-level cadres, more than half of them have also been a vehicle dispatcher. Even the sycophant Wang Haibin was a vehicle dispatcher.

Like Cui Dashan, he is only a middle-level cadre in his fifties, because he has never worked as a vehicle dispatcher and is not familiar with the transportation business. Cui Dashan's business expertise is car repair. No matter how good the car repair is, the director of the auto repair workshop is just the ceiling.

In the transportation company, those young people who are unwilling to be workers all their lives and want to make progress will try to take the exam as a vehicle dispatcher.

The freight department and the passenger department are separate, and each has its own dispatcher system. The work of a bus dispatcher is much simpler than that of a truck dispatcher.

Passenger cars follow a fixed route and depart at regular times every day. The dispatcher only needs to schedule the vehicles.

The route and departure time of the trucks are not fixed. You never know what the next train will be pulling, where it will go, and how to arrange vehicles, personnel, goods and routes. It is a test for the truck dispatcher.

The bonuses of truck dispatchers are also higher than other positions.

The 1980s was an era of goods waiting for the car, and transportation companies at that time did not worry about the supply of goods at all. With the development of the national economy, a large number of goods have been produced waiting to be transported, but the transportation capacity and hardware facilities have not caught up with the pace of economic development. Without enough vehicles, no amount of goods can be transported out.

In modern times, if there is a batch of goods to be transported, it is normal to load the goods directly and leave the express delivery the next day.

But in 1985, there was a queue for the delivery of goods, and it was thankful that the goods could be shipped out after ten days and a half.

The freight office has good benefits and naturally high bonuses. In the early 1980s, dispatchers in the freight office could receive a bonus of 35 yuan a month.

The reason why it was 35 yuan was because the state stipulated that the bonuses of government agencies and institutions should not exceed 35 yuan. State-owned enterprises were managed by reference to institutions, and naturally there was a ceiling of 35 yuan in bonuses. This cap was abolished after the wage reform in 1985.

The position of dispatcher in the freight department has a great chance of promotion and a lot of bonuses. Naturally, it has become a fragrant bun in the eyes of ordinary workers.

The requirements for selecting dispatchers in the freight department are also extremely strict. If you want to be a dispatcher of a truck, you have to take a special test. However, because the position of dispatcher is so popular, every time a dispatcher is recruited, a large number of young employees will apply for the exam.

In the previous life, Li Weidong was only admitted to the dispatcher of the freight department in 1987, and now Li Weidong plans to take the examination for the dispatcher of the freight department again.

The reason why Li Weidong is interested in the position of dispatcher is not for promotion. The current Qinghe Transportation Company seems to be prosperous, but since the 1990s, Qinghe Transportation Company is quickly dying and the company is going to close down. What's the use of being a leader?

What Li Weidong values ​​is the control of the information by the dispatcher.

As a truck dispatcher, what you do is not only the dispatch of vehicles, but also to understand the situation of the goods. How much cargo is there, where it came from, where it's going, what the cargo is, these are all information that the dispatcher must control.

In this process, the dispatcher can easily obtain the supply and demand information of the goods.

The dispatchers can estimate which manufacturers are in which places, which products these manufacturers produce, or what products these manufacturers need, and even the manufacturers' monthly demand for raw materials and commodity output.

In the future Internet era, there are many B2B professional platforms serving enterprises, and enterprises can complete orders by sending a WeChat message.

However, in the 1980s, it was very difficult to obtain information between enterprises. Many companies produce products and cannot find corresponding buyers. There are also many companies that need a certain product but can't find the source. Because there is no information, those who are in stock cannot be sold, and those who are out of stock cannot be bought.

This information can be easily grasped by the dispatcher.

Li Weidong has already made up his mind to go to sea when the time is right. However, to start a business, at least he must be able to find the supply of raw materials, and he must also find a market for the products.

Therefore, Li Weidong plans to go to the dispatcher of the freight department to accumulate information for the future.
