Chapter 63

Chen Lin rode his bicycle and hurried to the transportation company. Along the way, the more Chen Lin thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

The car that I contacted was transferred away in a blink of an eye, and the person who transferred the car was Li Weidong!

Regarding Li Weidong, Chen Lin has been known for a long time. At the age of 16, he worked as a labor-for-work service. At the age of 17, he was assigned to a building.

And what annoyed Chen Lin the most was that Li Weidong became a planning dispatcher as soon as he entered the dispatch department.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to be a plan dispatcher, you need to start as an on-site dispatcher, and you can become a plan dispatcher only after you are familiar with various businesses and have accumulated a certain amount of work experience.

For example, Chen Lin is an on-site dispatcher, and he is in the stage of accumulating experience.

However, Li Weidong, a newcomer, became a planning dispatcher when he entered the dispatch department, and stepped directly on the head of a group of on-site dispatchers. As an on-site dispatcher, Chen Lin was naturally unhappy in his heart, and he had long been full of resentment against Li Weidong.

The so-called wood show is in the forest and the wind will destroy it. What Li Weidong has done in the past year is indeed too eye-catching. It is normal to attract the jealousy of others, especially young workers. There are many people who are jealous of Li Weidong.

Now that Li Weidong has transferred the car that Chen Lin wanted, it is like igniting the fuse, and the old and new hatreds that have been accumulated will break out together.

Chen Lin parked his bicycle and walked towards the dispatch department angrily. At this moment, a voice stopped Chen Lin.

Chen Lin, what are you doing here when you're not on site during working hours?

Chen Lin looked back and called the person who stopped him named Tao Yong, who was also the on-site dispatcher of the freight department.

You still told me, didn't you come back too! Chen Lin said.

I came back because I have business! Tao Yong sighed lightly, and then said, I am also unlucky. I had already contacted the car to pick up the goods, but after waiting for a long time, the car never came, so I called the dispatch department. Only then did I know that the car was sent to another place.

Chen Lin looked at Tao Leyong, who was suffering from the same illness, and said, Me too, I waited in the Nanshan parking lot for an hour before I found out that the five cars I wanted were sent to Zengling County.

The car you want has also been transferred to Zengling County? Tao Yong asked in surprise.

Your car was also transferred by Li Weidong? Chen Lin asked another question.

Neither of them answered, but from the other's expressions, they already knew the answer.

In an instant, Chen Lin seemed to have found a bosom friend: This Li Weidong, not only transferred my car, but also transferred your car, let's go, let's settle the account with him!

At this moment, another voice sounded: Oh, both of you are here!

The person who came was Wu Dongqiang, who was also an on-site dispatcher.

Wu Dongqiang? Shouldn't the car you want also be sent to Zengling County? Chen Lin asked.

How did you know? Wu Dongqiang looked surprised.

Chen Lin and Tao Yong glanced at each other, Zhiyin No. 3 is online!

...

Please come in! Luo Bing then shouted, then raised his head and looked at the door, only to see Chen Lin, Tao Yong and Wu Dongqiang walking in.

Luo Bing was stunned for a moment, thinking that the three on-site dispatchers were not staying at the scene during the working hours, so what did they do when they came back.

Why are you three here? Is there something wrong? Luo Bing asked.

Captain, I can't do this job! Chen Lin said first.

Yeah, Captain, I really can't go on doing this! Tao Yong said from the side.

Luo Bing looked blank, pointed to the sofa next to him, and said, What happened, sit down and talk slowly.

After the three of them sat down, Chen Lin took the lead and said, Captain, our scheduling department, some planning and scheduling are just nonsense.

I had already ordered five cars, but they were sent to Zengling County. I waited there with the client staring blankly for an hour, not even seeing a wheel.

It's for the mobilization of vehicles! Luo Bing nodded.

On-site dispatching has an appointment for a car, but it is dispatched to another place by the planning dispatch. Although it is not common, it always happens occasionally, and it is nothing new.

Generally, in this situation, we listen to the plan and dispatch. After all, the plan and dispatch are the brains of the entire freight system.

It is understandable that the vehicle was temporarily transferred away, and the on-site dispatcher felt angry and complained.

Luo Bing's main method for dealing with similar matters is to talk to the mud, listen to the on-site dispatch to complain a few words, and then persuade them to say a few more words, and the matter is over.

Just as Luo Bing was about to speak, Tao Yong also said, Captain, the eight cars I want have also been sent to Zengling County.

Captain, my seven cars are also sent to Zengling County. Wu Dongqiang said quickly.

Five cars plus eight cars, plus seven cars, that's 20 cars. Is there any transportation mission in Zengling County? It takes so many cars! Luo Bing suddenly frowned.

The transportation company has a total of more than 200 trucks, and they used 20 vehicles at once, but they took up nearly one-tenth of the transportation capacity.

At this time, Chen Lin continued: Captain, we have asked, and the dispatchers are all dispatched by the same plan, that is, the new Li Weidong.

Li Weidong, why did he send twenty cars to Zengling County all at once? Thinking of this, Luo Bing picked up a folder from the table, which contained a summary of the freight orders for the last two weeks.

Luo Bing checked it carefully. Zengling County is full of scattered lists, and there is no freight order that requires 20 vehicles.

What the hell is going on? Luo Bing stood up, and he decided to go to Corey to find out.

...

Li Weidong looked at the calendar, and the number 29 was drawn in several circles by him, which looked very conspicuous at first glance.

Today is the 29th, and I have already transferred 20 cars. If I count them, it is definitely not enough. If there are empty cars, I will have to transfer a few more cars to Zengling County. Li Weidong secretly thought.

The reason why Li Weidong moved his vehicle to Zengling County was because he remembered a major event in Zengling County in his previous life.

Zengling County is a county under the jurisdiction of Qinghe area. Although the land in Zengling County is not fertile, there are many rivers, and the farmland can be irrigated effectively. Therefore, Zengling County has always been a large agricultural county.

A county based on agriculture often means poverty, as is Zengling County, whose economy ranks last in the entire Qinghe region.

There is no industry in Zengling County, and there are no minerals buried in the ground.

However, simply planting wheat will at most fill the farmers' stomachs, and it is impossible to get rid of poverty and become a well-off. Therefore, the agricultural department of Zengling began to encourage farmers to grow some cash crops that can be sold for money, such as garlic.

Garlic is an indispensable condiment in people's daily life, and it can also be used as medicine. In terms of economic benefits, garlic is definitely much better than wheat.

Zengling County dispatched agricultural technicians to promote garlic cultivation to farmers. However, agricultural promotion does not happen overnight, and the common people cannot see the benefits.

Two crops of garlic can be sold, one is the garlic head when it is ripe in summer, and the other is the garlic flower stems that are cut in April and May every year, which is the garlic sprouts we eat.

When the garlic sprouts are mature, the garlic sprouts are cut off, and the nutrients absorbed by the garlic from the ground will be supplied to the garlic heads, which can make the garlic heads grow larger.

Garlic sprouts are a seasonal vegetable, and the price was not cheap at that time. Before the 1980s, the domestic garlic planting volume was not high, so the production of garlic sprouts was not high. The so-called rare is expensive.

In 1984, after the garlic sprouts in Zengling County were harvested and sold to big cities like Beijing or Shanghai, the price per catty could reach 50 cents, almost catching up with half a catty of pork. It was definitely a luxury among vegetables. .

This year, the farmers who planted garlic also made money. Some farmers built new houses and married their wives by buying garlic sprouts.

Seeing that garlic sprouts are so profitable, other farmers also switched to garlic, and the amount of garlic planted in Zengling County instantly increased hundreds of times.

As the output of garlic sprouts goes up, the price will naturally come down. It is definitely impossible to sell them for 50 cents a pound, but for farmers, even selling them for 1 cent a pound is much more cost-effective than growing grain.

Garlic sprouts for a dime a pound can definitely be sold. If this price is shipped to a big city, it will be madly robbed.

But the key problem is that there are not enough vehicles for transportation.

Last year, when the garlic sprouts had a bumper harvest, the planting area was still relatively small. Zengling County temporarily found some light trucks and borrowed a few vehicles from some enterprises to transport the garlic sprouts to Shanghai.

In 1985, the area of ​​garlic has increased hundreds of times, and the output of garlic sprouts has also increased hundreds of times, and transportation has become a big problem.

Garlic sprouts have a characteristic. They can be refrigerated. After thawing, they have little effect on the taste. In the future, garlic sprouts will be the vegetable with the largest storage capacity and the longest storage time in the vegetable refrigeration industry.

But if not refrigerated, the garlic sprouts will rot very quickly. Moreover, the large-scale maturity of garlic sprouts is originally in May, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and the speed of garlic sprouts will become faster and faster.

In the 1980s, there was no vegetable refrigeration industry in China at all, and it was good to have one or two cold storage warehouses in a county. In a poor county like Zengling County, there is no refrigerated warehouse to store garlic sprouts. The only way is to transport the garlic sprouts to the city as soon as possible and put them into the market for sale.

In May, when there was a bumper harvest of garlic sprouts in Zengling County, there were no vehicles to transport them. The farmers could only watch the garlic sprouts rot in the field, but there was nothing they could do. Therefore, the agricultural department, which encouraged farmers to grow garlic, became the object of questioning by farmers.

On May 29, the tenth day of the lunar calendar, there is a fair in the countryside. Many garlic growers take garlic sprouts to the market, hoping to sell some of them and stop their losses in time. However, when the farmers arrived at the market, they found that the whole market was selling garlic sprouts.

Everyone is a seller, and there are no buyers. Farmers realize that the garlic sprouts cannot be sold, and they are all in a hurry. Many people think that growing garlic is a scam.

Zengling has always had strong folk customs and belongs to the kind of area where family planning officials are often beaten.

So thousands of angry garlic farmers went directly to the county seat, looking for vehicles to transport garlic sprouts. However, the transportation capacity at that time was so tight, how could it be possible to find a car if you wanted a car.

A large number of garlic farmers ran to the county town to beg for a car, which naturally alarmed their superiors.

After this incident, Qinghe Transportation Company has another political task, which is to mobilize vehicles to transport garlic sprouts to Zengling County every May.

In this matter, the original intention of the agricultural sector was good. They wanted to help farmers get rid of poverty and become rich, but they were self-defeating because of ill-consideration.

Those garlic farmers are also worthy of sympathy. Farmers' income depends entirely on farming. If all the things they grow can't be sold and all rot in the fields, then the hard work of this year will be in vain, and there will be no food for the next year.

When Zengling County found out that the garlic sprouts could not be shipped, it also placed a freight order for the transportation company, but it was already the 28th when the order was delivered to the transportation company.

However, because the trucks were waiting for goods at that time, it usually took ten days and a half months to load the trucks and deliver the goods. Zengling County placed a temporary transportation order, and it was definitely too late. The trucks were dispatched in advance, and there was no more capacity To transport garlic sprouts.

Li Weidong was cooking in the cafeteria, and when he heard that Zengling County had a bumper harvest of garlic sprouts, he immediately thought of it. So he went back and rummaged through the calendar, recalling the time when it happened.

The garlic head is worthless. Many garlic farmers will rely on this crop of garlic sprouts for their livelihood in the coming year. Even if they sell only one cent per catty, they can earn seventy or eighty yuan if they sell seven or eight hundred catties. The income of these 70 to 80 yuan has been able to lift them out of poverty.

It is not easy for farmers to cultivate the land. After a year of hard work, they can count on this crop of garlic sprouts, so Li Weidong decided to dispatch vehicles to Zengling County first to rush to transport garlic sprouts.

...

Luo Bing came to the dispatch room and saw that Li Weidong was on the phone there, he should be talking about business.

Luo Bing didn't bother Li Weidong, but walked up to another dispatcher and asked, Is there a freight order from Zengling County in the last two days?

Yes, it came yesterday. The dispatcher replied.

Did you only want a car yesterday! How many cars? What to ship? Luo Bing asked again.

It seems to be 100 cars. I don't know exactly what to transport. Xiao Li is in charge of this matter. The transfer team member explained.

Luo Bing looked at Li Weidong, who was still talking on the phone at this time.

Behind Luo Bing, Chen Lin came up and said in a low voice, Captain, you heard it all, this Li Weidong is too outrageous. We have a lot of orders that have been backlogged for more than a week and have not been shipped out. Lingxian came to the order yesterday, and Li Weidong arranged it today, maybe he has benefited from it!

Luo Bing's brows were slightly wrinkled, and this was what he was most worried about.

In order to get the freight out early, many companies will bribe the dispatcher and let the dispatcher arrange the vehicle in advance, so if the dispatcher wants to make money, he can definitely make a lot of money.

The dispatcher receives the benefits of the cargo owner and arranges the vehicle for the cargo owner in advance, which is bribery. The freight office has clear regulations that the dispatcher will never be allowed to collect benefits from the cargo owner.

Of course, when the dispatcher arranges the vehicle, the consignor handed over a pack of cigarettes, or in the early morning, the consignor asked the dispatcher to eat a fritter and drink a bowl of soy milk. This kind of behavior is not considered a benefit.

A box of cigarettes and a breakfast can be worth a few dollars. There is no corrupt official who made a fortune by rubbing two mouthfuls of soy milk.

This kind of eating, drinking, fighting, and making friends, does not violate the principle, and the freight office will turn a blind eye.

Li Weidong is someone Zhao Guodong is optimistic about, so Luo Bing also takes good care of Li Weidong. However, Li Weidong's biggest disadvantage is his youth. When it comes to the topic of getting benefits, Luo Bing is really worried. Li Weidong, a young comrade, guards Don't stand the bottom line!

...

At this time, garlic farmers carrying bundles of garlic sprouts appeared in the county town and asked the county for a car.

Seeing that there are more and more garlic farmers, the county party committee is also calling the superiors for help:

We didn't expect that when we launched the promotion last year, few towns were willing to plant garlic sprouts, but this year there are so many garlic sprouts. Now the garlic sprouts can't be shipped out, but they will all rot in the ground. I implore the leaders to hurry up. Help us find some vehicles and quickly transport the garlic sprouts out!
