In the auto repair workshop, Li Weidong found a bright corner, holding a traffic map of Handong Province in his hand, and carefully remembered each route, which was the content of the exam.

As a truck dispatcher, familiarity with transportation routes is the most basic ability, and if you are not even familiar with the road, how to dispatch vehicles.

In the eighteen-fifth year, there were no highways in China, and at that time, the transportation was all national and provincial highways, from one place to another, which routes could be chosen, how long each route was, what were the road conditions, how much time the journey spent, which towns and villages would pass through on the way, which towns and villages often had car bandits and road blockers, these are all information that dispatchers need to grasp.

Freight is different from passenger transportation, which is to run back and forth between two places, the route and time are fixed, and the dispatcher only needs to remember a few main routes.

And freight is not a simple round trip between the two places, the supply and demand of goods between the cities are different, it is difficult to ensure that there are goods when you go, and there are also goods when you come back, and the empty car runs at a loss, so the truck often has to pull and unload the goods through the third place.

A good truck dispatcher, the route he arranges is always a circle, a car goes out, will be unloaded and reloaded in different cities, and then go to the next location, and when he returns, he has completed several orders.

The cost and profit of transportation are also things that truck dispatchers consider. As a truck dispatcher, no matter how reasonable the route is arranged, it is useless to run back and not make money.

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

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

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

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

Li Weidong knew that Cui Dashan was going to be a matchmaker again, so he hurriedly said, "Director Cui, I plan to go to the dispatcher of the freight department. ”

"The dispatcher in the freight department is not so easy to test, seventy or eighty people take the exam at a time, that is, one or two can pass. Cui Dashan said.

"So, I'm going to review now. Li Weidong pointed to the traffic map in his hand.

"That's fine, while you're young, work hard, young people just want to be motivated! The dispatcher of the freight department has a high salary and a lot of room for improvement, so he should take the test. Cui Dashan said this, but his heart was a little empty.

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

I only heard Cui Dashan continue: "It's difficult to take the dispatcher test, don't be discouraged if you can't pass the test, there will be opportunities in the future." Even if you can't pass the test, it's not bad to stay in the auto repair workshop, and the business volume of our auto repair workshop is also increasing every year. ”

"In the future, there will be more and more vehicles, and there will even be many people who buy cars, and when the time comes, our auto repair workshop may be independent from the transportation company and become a separate auto repair shop!

"How is it possible for an individual to buy a car? Cars are so expensive, with our salary, it's almost the same as buying a tire. Cui Dashanquan was Li Weidong joking.

In the 80s, there were only three places in the Qinghe area 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 public security bureau hardly repaired cars, and they mainly repaired motorcycles, because the public security departments at that time were equipped with the kind of motorcycles with their sons, and the grassroots units could not afford to use cars.

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

With the gradual increase of vehicles, the auto repair workshop of the transportation company became increasingly busy, and finally it became independent and established an auto repair factory of the transportation company, with independent accounting of income and expenditure, which is regarded as the tertiary industry of the transportation company. And Cui Dashan also became the first director of the auto repair factory.

In the future, when the transportation company is about to close down, a large number of workers are laid off, the business of the auto repair plant is still booming, and the auto repair workers have escaped the wave of layoffs of state-owned enterprises in the nineties.

Later, private cars became popular, and there were more and more shops repairing cars on the roadside, but the business of repair shops was still booming. After all, the auto repair shop is state-run, and it is easier for the cars of organs and institutions to be sent to the auto repair shop for repair, and it is easier to reimburse. Ordinary people also trust state-owned units, at least they will not mix sugar when adding engine oil.

......

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

"Director, I've prepared the questions for the dispatcher exam, you go through it first, and I'll revise the inappropriate places. Luo Bing said.

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

"This question is too simple, it can be done by everyone, there is no need to put it on it. ”

"I took this question last time, and many people know the answer, so there is no need to take it again. ”

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

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

"Director, isn't this question too difficult? The rest of these questions must have been done as a dispatcher to be able to answer them all correctly. Luo Bing said.

"I'm not too difficult enough!" Zhao Guodong continued: "So many young workers want to come to our freight department as dispatchers, of course we have to choose the best of the best, if the topic is too simple, how can we choose the best one." There are not many soldiers in the elite, and the exam questions are the same, this time there will be ten questions, but they must be representative. Now it's nine questions, and I'll add one more. ”

After Zhao Guodong finished speaking, he put pen to paper and added another question to the test question. Then, Zhao Guodong returned the test paper to Luo Bing and said, "Old Luo, how about you take a look at this question I came up with?"

Luo Bing took the test paper: "In August this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks, which need to be parked in the Dongguan parking lot and Nanshan parking lot, ask how to allocate the vehicles, and explain the reasons." Hehe, Director, you're a trap!"

"Oh? Zhao Guodong said.

"When ordinary people see this question, they will feel that they are testing their familiarity with several parking lots of the company. Our company's Nanshan parking lot is relatively small, only 40 trucks can be parked, Dongguan parking lot is much larger, can park 80 trucks, if according to the normal number of distribution, is Nanshan parking 20 cars, Dongguan parking 40 cars. ”

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

"Why?" asked Zhao Guodong.

There are many factories in Nanshan, and there is a great demand for freight, while Dongguan is mainly a residential area, and next to the Qinghe River is the beach, so there is no demand for freight at all. If you park forty cars in the Dongguan parking lot, you have to go to Nanshan to pull goods when you turn around. Isn't it a waste of effort? ”

Luo Bing's eyes revealed a sense of conceit, and then said: "So the correct answer is that forty cars will park in Nanshan, and the remaining twenty cars will not be able to stop in Nanshan, and then go to Dongguan." Director, on the surface, your question is a test of familiarity with the company's parking lot, but in fact, it is a test of the mastery of the source of goods. There is a pit in this question, and if it is not an experienced old dispatcher, he will definitely fall into the pit. ”

Zhao Guodong nodded, and said lightly: "You answered wrong!"

"What? I got it wrong? How is this possible!" Luo Bing was slightly stunned.

"The correct answer is, sixty cars, all parked at Dongguan Parking Lot!" Zhao Guodong replied.

"Why?" Zhao Guodong looked puzzled.

"If you look at the title carefully, what I wrote above is that in August this year, the company will buy 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 opened his mouth and prompted.

"Oops, how did I forget this!" Luo Bing patted his head, and then said: "The Dongguan parking lot is very close to the river beach, in case you receive a flood control task, you can go to the river beach at any time to load sandbags, and then devote yourself to the flood control task." ”

"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, and if you want to come from Nanshan, you have to go through the railway culvert. The railway culvert is sunken, and during the flood season, a heavy rainstorm can flood the railway culvert, and not a single car can pass by at that time! Therefore, all the vehicles must be concentrated in the Dongguan parking lot. ”

"I understand, Director, your question is a double trap, even I, the dispatch captain, have fallen into the trap, and those newcomers will definitely not be able to answer it. It seems that this time, few people who took the exam were able to pass. Luo Bing said.

"I'm just giving the newcomers a blow and letting them know that dispatchers aren't that easy. The newcomer has a sense of frustration, and when the time comes to us, he knows how to learn with an open mind. Zhao Guodong continued: "Let's go and print out the test questions later, pay attention to confidentiality, don't leak the questions." ”

"Director, don't worry, I'll do this myself. Luo Bing said.

......

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

In the 80s, developed countries had already used photocopiers, but China still used mimeographers, and it was still a traditional manual mimeographer. Lay the wax paper first, then spread a piece of white paper, roll it with an ink roller, and the words can be printed on the white paper. This kind of printing speed is relatively slow, the workload is large, and the smell of the ink is very pungent.

After some effort, Luo Bing finished printing, threw the used wax paper into the trash, 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 out the used wax paper from the trash can, carefully flattened it, and rubbed the contents on it again with white paper.

After rubbing, although the handwriting is no longer legible, you can still barely make out the content.

When it was time to get off work, this unclear handwriting test question had already appeared in Wang Haibin's hand.

......

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

"The Great Wall Can't Be Used" is the theme song of the TV series "Huo Yuanjia", this TV series has been popular all over the country, and in the Spring Festival Gala of 85 years, Lu Nianzu sang this song, which made this song a popular hit.

In the living room, Wang Haibin was in front of the table, writing the test question.

"Dad, what materials are you writing?" asked Wang Lei.

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

"What are the test questions?Dad, are you going to take the test?" Wang Lei asked again.

Wang Haibin glared at his son: "What exam do I take, this is the test question for you to take the dispatcher exam!"

"What? Dispatcher's test questions, you can get them all? Dad, you're amazing. Wang Lei was taken aback and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb.

"Nonsense, if I don't get the test questions, with your little ability, don't expect to be admitted to the dispatcher for the rest of your life!" Wang Haibin sighed hatefully, and then said:

"It's a tough question, and you won't be able to answer it. Fortunately, I also worked as a dispatcher, and I can still answer the above questions, and after eating for a while, don't do anything, even if I don't sleep, I have to memorize these answers!"

Finding that Wang Haibin's tone was very serious, Wang Lei had no choice but to nod honestly: "I know." ”

Wang Haibin continued: "I heard the news that this time the freight department is recruiting dispatchers, and only one person is recruited, which means that you must take the first place in the exam to become a dispatcher." Dispatcher is the most sought-after position in the company, as long as you are admitted to the dispatcher, you will definitely be able to get the quota for this year!"

"Dad, don't worry, I'll memorize it all. Wang Lei said.

"Also, keep your mouth shut, don't go around with cows!" Wang Haibin deliberately commanded, and then lowered his head and continued to work on the question.

"In August this year, the company will buy 60 trucks, which will be parked in the Dongguan and Nanshan parking lots, and will ask how the vehicles will be allocated and explain why. I remember that the Dongguan parking lot can park 80 cars, and the Nanshan parking lot can only park 40 cars, so if you calculate it, it is 40 cars in Dongguan and 20 cars in Nanshan."

Wang Haibin was about to write the answer, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"No, this question is ostensibly a test of familiarity with the company's parking lot, but in fact it is a test of the mastery of the source of the goods. There are so many factories in Nanshan, so the parking lot in Nanshan should be full of 40 cars! Which grandson is this question, and there is still a pit! How can a newcomer answer his words. But this little trap can't hide from me!"

Wang Haibin had a triumphant smile on his face.
