Chapter 30: Eating Tofu

The sales director of the Yellow River Factory personally sent Wang Haibin to the door, and said with a smile on his face: "Director Wang, go slowly!"

Wang Haibin showed a smiling expression, but there were various MMPs in his heart.

This time, the purchase of the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck was not talked about. To put it bluntly, people are not willing to sell you the car if they give money.

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

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

Waiting in line, as for when to pick up the car, I can't be sure.

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

What's more, gift-giving is also a technical job, and if you give a gift, it is still unknown whether the Yellow River Factory is willing to accept it.

Otherwise, how can you say that this Wang Haibin has average business ability, others buy things by shopping around and choosing the most suitable for themselves, but this Wang Haibin can't buy anything even if he gives him money.

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

"Have the two masters finished trying the car, how about this car?" asked Wang Haibin.

Wang Haibin wished that the two masters said that the car was not easy to drive, and it was best to find some faults, so that he could find an excuse to cover for his incompetence, and after he went back, he would like the company's leaders to explain.

I didn't buy a car because it was hard to drive, which is also an excuse, and it is better than not being able to buy a car.

However, the driver stretched out his thumb and said: "This car is really a good car, the power is good, it drives vigorously, and there is an assistant steering wheel, which is particularly labor-saving for turning, and you can turn the steering wheel with a little force!"

The Yellow River JN162 heavy truck is equipped with a hydraulic power steering machine, and the domestic cars at that time did not have power steering, for the driver, this power steering is the most practical configuration, must give a good review.

Another driver said: "The driver's seat of this car is also very comfortable, I asked to know that people do not use spring shock absorption, but hydraulic shock absorption, sitting on it is like a sofa, walking on the road is not panicked." ”

"Also, the brakes of this car are also very good, what is it called a cut-off brake......"

"There is a sleeper behind this seat, and when you stop and wait for loading and unloading in the future, you can go directly to the sleeper in the back to sleep......"

The two drivers are introducing the various advantages of the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck.

Wang Haibin's face became more and more embarrassed, and finally, he opened his mouth to interrupt the two drivers: "Two, then there are no shortcomings in this car?"

The driver thought for a moment and said: "If you want to talk about the shortcomings, there are also them, but they are more fuel-intensive, I heard that this car has to burn 26 oil for 100 kilometers." ”

"26 oils, our company's 40 units, 100 kilometers of oil consumption is only 20, right? Oil is an important resource of the country, and it has to be exported to earn foreign exchange, but it can't be wasted!" Wang Haibin looked happy, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"But the truck weighs ten tons. Another master spoke.

Wang Haibin was immediately deflated.

Although the fuel consumption of the EQ140 per 100 kilometers of the second automobile is 20 liters, the load is only five tons, compared with the Yellow River JN162 100 kilometers only consumes 6 liters of more fuel, but the load is twice as much, which is good and bad at a glance.

The sentence "ten tons of load" let Wang Haibin know that the excuse of consuming more fuel is completely untenable.

The two drivers are from the freight department, and the people from the freight department will not help Wang Haibin endorse, and the two drivers will go back to report, saying how good the Yellow River heavy truck is, but Wang Haibin has not bought a car back, and this black pot is afraid to be memorized.

"It seems that this car still has to be bought, if it really doesn't work, I have to go to the Provincial Department of Transportation to find a relationship and ask the Department of Transportation to approve a strip in the plan!"

Wang Haibin planned to go back to the guest house first, but at this time he found that Li Weidong was gone.

"Two masters, have you seen Li Weidong? It's the young man from the auto repair workshop who came with us. Wang Haibin asked.

The two drivers shook their heads at the same time: "I didn't see him, he should still be in the repair workshop of the Yellow River Factory." Or I'll call him back. ”

"Leave him alone, 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 are also in Jicheng, so in the afternoon of the same day, Wang Haibin went to the provincial transportation department, hoping to get the approval of the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck plan.

The planned materials are managed by the State Planning Commission in a unified manner, and they will allocate the indicators of various materials to other ministries and commissions, and other ministries and commissions will then distribute the materials to the department-level administrative agencies and enterprises directly under the ministries and commissions, and the department-level administrative agencies will then distribute the materials to the prefecture-level administrative agencies and enterprises directly under the department, and so on, until the most basic level.

Now that New Year's Day has just passed, the indicators of eighty-five years should not have been distributed, and the Provincial Department of Transportation will inevitably hold the indicators of the Yellow River JN162 heavy truck. Wang Haibin took this opportunity to go to the Department of Transportation to ask for indicators, and it was also the right time.

However, for Qinghe Transportation Company, Wang Haibin sought the planned indicators, although it was not a bad move, but it was by no means a good move.

In the 80s, the state-run transport industry preferred to buy cars at their own expense rather than in a planned way, because there was a question of turning profits over to the state.

As a state-owned enterprise, it receives tasks from the state every year. If it is a production enterprise, what is received is the production task. For example, the task of a certain steel mill is to produce how many tons of steel, and the task of a certain textile mill is to produce how many cotton cloths.

The materials produced within the mission are planned and handed over to the state, which will be managed and distributed by the state. The additional production beyond the task is the unplanned materials, which do not need to be handed over to the state, and the enterprise can take them out and sell them to generate profits for themselves.

However, it is impossible for enterprises to produce unplanned products without restrictions, because the means of production are also controlled by the state, and the number of means of production given to you is also determined by the state.

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

For example, in a certain steel plant, this year's task target is to smelt one million tons of steel, so the iron ore and coal that the state gives you are just enough to produce one million tons of steel.

At this time, if the steel mill wants to produce more steel, it must buy iron ore and coal from the plan.

Steel mills are also happy to buy raw materials from unplanned production, because the unplanned steel production does not have to be handed over to the state, but is the company's own profit. Enterprises can use this part of the profits to expand production, improve technology, and can also be used for employee welfare, and build several family buildings.

The transportation industry does not produce materials, so it directly hands over the profits, simply put, the money earned and handed over to the state.

For example, Qinghe Transportation Company, this year, the state issued a task of 5 million yuan, and at the end of the year, 5 million yuan will be handed over to the transportation bureau, even if you complete the task given by the state, the extra money you earn, the transportation company can use it yourself.

Vehicles are the means of production in the transportation industry. For state-owned transport enterprises, if the vehicles are purchased from the plan, then the state will calculate the capacity of the planned vehicles 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 transport company spends its own money to buy a car, then the capacity of the car is no longer planned, and the state will not consider the car when issuing the task index, and the money earned by the car belongs to the profit of the transport company itself.

Based on the reason that they have to pay 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 from the state, it is impossible to kick it into their own pockets. But it's better to spend money on your own business than to hand it over to the state. Improve employee welfare, build dozens of family buildings, or equip leaders with a new car, can it not be fragrant!

It is precisely because of this that Wang Haibin came to negotiate with the Yellow River Automobile Factory about procurement, trying to buy a car outside the plan, but he couldn't buy it, so he went to the transportation department to ask for the planned indicators.

......

The Department of Transportation happily gave Wang Haibin 10 indicators of the Yellow River heavy truck.

Wang Haibin knows very well in his heart that because of these 10 heavy trucks, the profits that the transportation company needs to hand over next year will increase again.

For the indicators of these 10 Yellow River heavy trucks, Wang Haibin inevitably had to invite the leaders of the Department of Transportation to dinner, and spent a lot of money on a meal, but fortunately, he could be reimbursed after going back.

After a full meal, Wang Haibin returned to the door of the guest house drunk, and happened to see a familiar figure. Wang Haibin fixed his eyes and saw that the person was Li Weidong.

Through 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 as a substitute worker, and his salary is not less than mine, so he must have the money to drink. Wang Haibin said secretly in his heart.

"Oh, Director Wang, I just came back!" Li Weidong also saw Wang Haibin, so he stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"Yes, I just came back, went to the transportation department to talk about business, and in the evening at the provincial party committee guest house, I had a light meal with the leaders of the transportation department. Wang Haibin said, deliberately burped, and said with a show off: "The chef of this provincial party committee guest house is really good, I heard that I also went to learn Confucian cuisine, that dish is really exquisite!"

"Confucian cuisine is a famous dish! I heard that in the Song Dynasty, it was a royal banquet. By the way, there is a dish of tofu in Confucian cuisine, I don't know if Director Wang has you tasted it?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"It's a pity that this tofu has to be a descendant of Confucian cuisine to learn the essence, and even if the chef of the provincial party committee guest house can make it, it is not authentic. However, I heard that the chef of the Huanghe Factory Guest House is a descendant of Confucian cuisine. ”

Wang Haibin said, looked at Li Weidong provocatively, and continued in a strange manner: "If I have a chance in the future, I will go to the guest house of the Yellow River Factory and taste that tofu, and I will definitely tell you what it tastes like." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Li Weidong smiled strangely as he spoke, took out a box of matches from his pocket, and put it in Wang Haibin's hand, and then said, "Director Wang, I went to dinner just now and took a box of matches, I heard that you like to smoke, 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 match to Li Weidong,

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

Wang Haibin was startled, 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: "By the way, I went to eat an authentic Yipin tofu." ”
