Chapter 45 Trap Questions

In the auto repair workshop, Li Weidong found a bright corner, holding a traffic map of Handong Province in his hand, carefully memorizing each route, these are the content of the test.

As a truck dispatcher, being familiar with the transportation route is the most basic ability. If you are not familiar with the road, how can you dispatch vehicles.

In 1985, there were no expressways in China. At that time, all transportation was done by national and provincial roads. From one place to another, which routes could be selected, how long were each route, how was the road condition, and how much did the journey cost? Time, which townships and villages will pass through on the way, which townships and villages often have car bandits and road fighters, these are the information that the dispatcher needs to master.

Freight is different from passenger transport. Passenger transport is a round trip between two places. The route and time are fixed. The dispatcher only needs to remember a few main routes.

However, freight is not a simple round trip. The supply and demand of goods varies between cities. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be goods when you go, and there will be goods when you come back. Running empty is a loss, so trucks often have to pass through the first Three places to pull and unload.

An excellent truck dispatcher, the route he arranges is always a circle. When a car goes out, it will unload and reload the goods in different cities, and then go to the next location. When returning, several orders have been completed.

The cost and profit of transportation is also something that truck dispatchers consider. As a truck dispatcher, no matter how reasonable the route arrangement is, it is no use to make money when a car runs back.

Therefore, the truck dispatcher must have strong overall planning and arithmetic skills, and must be able to estimate in a short period of time how this car can run to make more money.

Li Weidong focused on the traffic map in his hand, and didn't even notice when Cui Dashan came to his side.

Little Li, what are you looking at! Cui Dashan asked.

Li Weidong raised his head and saw the small red notebook in Cui Dashan's hand at a glance.

Li Weidong knew that Cui Dashan was going to be a matchmaker again, so he quickly said, Director Cui, I'm going to take the exam as a dispatcher in the freight department.

The dispatcher in the freight department is not so easy to take the test. Seventy or eighty people take the test each time, that is, one or two people can pass. Cui Dashan said.

So, I'll start reviewing now. Li Weidong pointed to the traffic map in his hand.

That's fine. Take advantage of your youth and work hard, so young people want to be motivated! The dispatcher in the freight department has a high salary and a lot of room for improvement. He should take the test. Cui Dashan said so, but in his heart It's kind of empty.

Seeing that his subordinates are going to change jobs, there will definitely be some uncomfortable feelings in the heart of the leader.

I just heard Cui Dashan continue to say: The dispatcher is very difficult to pass the test, don't be discouraged if you fail the test, there will still be opportunities in the future. Even if you fail the test, it's not bad to stay in the auto repair workshop. The business volume of our auto repair workshop is not bad. , is also growing year by year.”

In the future, there will be more and more vehicles, and there will even be many individuals buying cars. At that time, our auto repair workshop may become independent from the transportation company and become a separate auto repair shop! Director Cui, then you will be Director Cui! Li Weidong said with a smile.

Buying a car for yourself? How is this possible! Cars are so expensive, with our salary, buying a tire is about the same. Cui Dashanquan was joking as Li Weidong.

In the Qinghe area in the 1980s, there were only three places where cars could be repaired. One was the auto repair class of the military sub-district, the other was the auto repair team of the Public Security Bureau, and the other was the auto repair workshop of the transportation company.

The auto repair team of the military sub-district can repair tanks, but it is not open to civilian use. They only repair military vehicles. The auto repair team of the Public Security Bureau hardly repairs cars. They mainly repair motorcycles, because the public security department at that time, They are equipped with the kind of motorcycles with wakame, and the grassroots cannot afford cars.

Therefore, the enterprises and institutions in Qinghe area will come to the auto repair workshop of the transportation company to repair the car, so the business of the auto repair workshop is still very prosperous.

As the number of vehicles gradually increased, the auto repair workshop of the transportation company became increasingly busy, and eventually it went out independently and established an auto repair factory of the transportation company. And Cui Dashan also became the first director of the auto repair factory.

In the era when the technical school has not yet opened the auto repair major, the auto repair factory of the transportation company is almost a monopoly of the local auto repair business. In the future, the transportation company will close down and a large number of employees will be laid off. Workers also escaped the wave of layoffs from state-owned enterprises in the 1990s.

Later, private cars became popular, and there were more and more car repair shops on the road, but the business of repair shops was still booming. After all, auto repair shops are state-run, and it is easier to send vehicles from government agencies and institutions to repair shops for repairs. Ordinary people also believe in state-owned units, at least not adding sugar when adding oil.

...

In the freight department, the dispatch captain Luo Bing handed the prepared exam questions to the director Zhao Guodong.

Director, I have already prepared the questions for the dispatcher exam. You can read them first. If they are not suitable, I will revise them. Luo Bing said.

Zhao Guodong took the test questions, and after reading the beginning, he picked up a pen and crossed out one question.

This question is too simple, everyone can do it, there is no need to put it on it.

This question has been tested last time, and many people know the answer, so there is no need to test it again.

These two questions are a bit repetitive, so just leave one of them.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Guodong deleted several topics.

Director, will this question be too difficult? The rest of the questions must be answered correctly by someone who has really worked as a dispatcher. Luo Bing said.

I don't think it's difficult enough! Zhao Guodong continued: So many young employees want to come to our freight department to be dispatchers, of course we have to choose the best, if the problem is too simple, how can we choose the best one. There are not many soldiers, and the test questions are the same. This time there are ten questions, but they must be representative. Now there are nine questions, and I will add one more question.”

After Zhao Guodong finished speaking, he picked up a pen and added another question to the test questions. Afterwards, Zhao Guodong returned the test paper to Luo Bing and said, Lao Luo, how about this question I gave?

Luo Bing took the test paper: In August of this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks, which need to be parked in the Dongguan parking lot and Nanshan parking lot, and ask how to allocate the vehicles and explain the reasons. Haha, Director, you are here. A trap question!

Oh? Let's hear it. Zhao Guodong said.

When most people see this question, they will think that they are testing their familiarity with several parking lots in the company. Our company's Nanshan parking lot is relatively small and can only accommodate forty trucks, while the Dongguan parking lot is much larger. Eighty trucks will be parked, and if they are allocated according to the normal number, there will be twenty in Nanshan and 40 in Dongguan.

When Luo Bing said this, he smiled slyly and continued: But if you answer like this, you must be wrong!

Why? Zhao Guodong asked.

Director, you are deliberately testing me! There are many factories in Nanshan, and there is a great demand for freight. Dongguan is mainly a residential area, and next to it is the beach of Qinghe, there is no demand for freight at all. If you park 40 cars in the Dongguan parking lot, you have to go back to Nanshan to pull the goods. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Luo Bing showed a conceit in his eyes, and then said: So the correct answer is that forty cars will park in Nanshan, and the remaining 20 cars will not stop in Nanshan, so they will go to Dongguan. Director, you have this question. On the surface, the test is to be familiar with the company's parking lot, but in fact, it is to test the mastery of the source of goods. This question has a pit, if it is not an experienced dispatcher, it will definitely fall into the pit.

Zhao Guodong nodded and said lightly, You answered wrong!

What? I answered wrong? How is this possible! Luo Bing was slightly taken aback.

The correct answer is, sixty cars, all parked at the Dongguan Depot! Zhao Guodong replied.

Why? Zhao Guodong looked puzzled.

Look carefully at the title. What I wrote above is that in August this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks. Have you forgotten that August is the flood season? Our company has to undertake the task of flood control every year. Zhao Guodong reminded.

Oh, why did I forget this! Luo Bing patted his head and continued: The Dongguan parking lot is very close to the river beach. If you receive a flood control task, you can go to the river beach and put sandbags on it at any time. to the task of flood control.

What else? Zhao Guodong then asked.

Luo Bing was stunned again: What else?

Zhao Guodong had no choice but to explain: Nanshan is on the south side of the railway. If you want to come from Nanshan, you have to go through the railway culvert. The railway culvert is a sinking type. During the flood season, a heavy rain can submerge the railway culvert. I can't get there! So all vehicles must be concentrated in the Dongguan parking lot.

I understand! Director, your question is a double trap. Even the dispatch captain like me has fallen into the trap. Those newcomers will definitely not be able to answer it. It seems that this time, few people taking the test can Passed the test. Luo Bing said.

I just want to give those newcomers a chance to let them know that it is not so easy to be a dispatcher. The newcomers feel frustrated, and when they come to our office, they will learn to learn with humility. Zhao Guodong continued: I will go to the office in a while. Print out the test questions, be careful not to leak the questions.

Director, don't worry, I will do it myself. Luo Bing said.

...

Luo Bing came to the printing room, found a piece of wax paper, engraved the question with a pen, then came to the mimeograph, brushed ink and started printing the test paper.

In the 1980s, developed countries had already used copiers, but China still used mimeographs and traditional manual mimeographs. First install the wax paper, then spread a piece of white paper, roll it with an ink roller, and then you can print the words on the white paper. This printing speed is relatively slow, the workload is large, and the smell of the ink is still very pungent.

After some effort, Luo Bing completed the printing. He threw the used wax paper into the trash can, took the test paper and left the printing room.

As soon as Luo Bing left, the administrator of the printing room walked in, quietly took the used wax paper out of the trash can, carefully flattened it, and then rubbed the content on it again with white paper.

After the rubbing of the test questions, although the handwriting is not clear, the content can still be barely recognized.

When it was time to get off work, the indistinct test question had already appeared in Wang Haibin's hands.

...

Wang Lei walked into the house humming a Cantonese song, this time he sang The Great Wall Never Falls.

The Great Wall Can't Be Used Down is the theme song of the TV series Huo Yuanjia. This TV series has been popular all over the country. On the Spring Festival Evening of 1985, Lu Nianzu sang this song, which made this song even more so. became a popular song.

In the living room, Wang Haibin was at the table, writing the test question.

Dad, what material did you write? Wang Lei asked.

It's not writing materials, it's doing test questions. Wang Haibin replied.

What test questions are you doing? Dad, do you want to take the test? Wang Lei asked again.

Wang Haibin glared at his son: What test am I taking? This is the test question for you to take the dispatcher exam!

What? You can get all the test questions from the dispatcher? Dad, you are amazing. Wang Lei was startled and couldn't help but stick out his thumb.

Nonsense, if I don't get the test questions, with your little ability, you won't expect to be admitted to the dispatcher for the rest of your life! Wang Haibin sighed bitterly, and continued:

The test questions this time are very difficult, and you will definitely not answer them. Fortunately, I have also worked as a dispatcher. I can still answer the above questions. After dinner, don't do anything, even if Even if you don't sleep, you have to memorize these answers!

Realizing that Wang Haibin's tone was very serious, Wang Lei nodded honestly: I see.

Wang Haibin went on to say: I heard news that this time the freight department is recruiting dispatchers, and only one person is recruited, which means that you must be admitted to the first place in order to become a dispatcher. Dispatchers are the most popular in the company. Position, as long as you are admitted to the dispatcher, you will definitely get the quota this year!

Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take it all down. Wang Lei said.

Also, keep your mouth shut and don't go out of your way! Wang Haibin ordered deliberately, then lowered his head and continued to answer the question.

In August of this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks, which need to be parked in the Dongguan parking lot and Nanshan parking lot, and ask how to allocate the vehicles and explain the reason. This is a test of familiarity with the company's parking lot. I remember The Dongguan parking lot can park 80 cars, and the Nanshan parking lot can only park 40 cars, so if you do the calculation, you can park 40 cars in Dongguan and 20 cars in Nanshan.”

Just as Wang Haibin was about to write an answer, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

No, this question ostensibly tests the familiarity with the company's parking lot, but in fact it tests the mastery of the source of goods. There are so many factories in Nanshan, so the Nanshan parking lot should be full of forty vehicles! Which grandson asked this question, and it has a pit! How can a newcomer answer it. But such a small trap can't be hidden from me!

A smug smile appeared on Wang Haibin's face.
