Chapter 44: The Dispatcher

As the founder of the transportation company, Mr. Li Dengke has always been a low-key existence, even those masters with twenty or thirty years of service did not realize that the old accountant Li who laughed all day long had worked in the transportation company for thirty-three years.

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

It is said that with Li Dengke's qualifications, he has to be mixed into a leading cadre, but Li Dengke was only an accountant until he retired, and the reason for this situation was mainly due to the drag of family components.

When Li Dengke was young, his family was relatively well-off, and he had studied in middle school, and he was certainly not a poor family when he was able to 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 also a girls' high school run by the church.

Such a family component is also destined to Li Dengke can only be a man with his tail between his legs, especially in the special years, he has been worried every day, it would be good not to be driven to live in the cowshed, and he still wants to be promoted?

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

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

......

The matter of dividing the house has come to an end for the time being, and those who have not been assigned a house, although they are unwilling, can only reluctantly accept the reality. After all, it is the tradition of state-owned enterprises to rank according to seniority, and in this regard, no one can compare with Li Dengke.

The Spring Festival in 1985 is the latest day since the implementation of the Gregorian calendar, Chinese New Year's Eve is February 19, the Spring Festival is February 20, and after the Lantern Festival, it is already March 6, and it feels like spring is about to pass.

After the Spring Festival, Li Weidong's family began to move busily.

At that time, the house did not need to be renovated, the walls were scraped white, and a layer of cement floor was added, and you could move in with your bags.

If you have to decorate, at most you will paint a layer of red or green paint on the lower half of the wall, and if anyone can paste a few large white tiles, it will definitely be luxurious and finely decorated.

As for the furniture, it is all handmade, some carpenters can work, so they buy their own materials, make a bed, make a cabinet, make some tables, chairs and benches, and even sofas with good craftsmanship. If you don't know how to work as a carpenter, you can only spend money to find a carpenter.

Li Weidong didn't have anything valuable at home, nothing more than a few clothes, plus daily necessities such as pots and pans, there was originally a flashlight, and the battery was not charged, so the radio became the only household appliance.

Li Weidong borrowed a row car and moved all his belongings to his new home in one trip, and several sisters and brothers-in-law moved a few times each, even if the move was completed.

......

When the spring flowers are blooming.

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

Li Weidong passed by here, and also stopped, and when he saw the content of the announcement, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"The freight department is going to hire a dispatcher! I can finally change jobs. ”

Li Weidong has long wanted to leave the auto repair workshop, but there is no suitable opportunity, and now this announcement that has just been posted has given Li Weidong the opportunity to transfer his job.

In the transportation enterprise, the vehicle dispatcher is the core position, although the dispatcher in the transportation company is also an ordinary employee, but it belongs to the manager, the dispatcher can manage the car and people, and there is some power in his hands, which is definitely much better than the auto mechanic.

If you want to get promoted in a transportation company, you must also be familiar with the transportation business, and the vehicle dispatcher has access to all aspects of the transportation business, so it is relatively easy to get promoted.

In the leadership team of Qinghe Transportation Company, there is basically the experience of vehicle dispatcher, and among the middle-level cadres, more than half have been vehicle dispatchers. Even Wang Haibin's sycophant has worked as a vehicle dispatcher.

For example, Cui Dashan, who is only a middle-level cadre in his fifties, is because he has never worked as a vehicle dispatcher and is not familiar with the transportation business. Cui Dashan's business specialty is car repair, no matter how good the car repair is, the director of the auto repair workshop is the ceiling, and if he doesn't understand the transportation business, it is impossible to go to the next level and enter the company's leadership team.

In the transportation company, those who are not willing to be workers for a lifetime, young people who want to improve, will try to take the vehicle dispatcher exam.

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

The buses are all on a fixed route, departing regularly every day, and the dispatcher only needs to do a good job of vehicle scheduling.

The route and departure time of the truck are not fixed, you never know what to pull on the next trip, where to go, how to arrange vehicles, people, goods and routes, is a test for the truck dispatcher.

The bonus of a truck dispatcher is also higher than that of other positions.

The 80s was an era of "goods waiting for trucks", and the 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 and waiting to be transported, but the transportation capacity and hardware facilities have not caught up with the pace of economic development, there are not enough vehicles, and no matter how many goods can be transported.

In modern times, there is a batch of goods to be transported, directly loaded and left, and it is normal for the express to arrive the next day.

In the eight-five years, the goods had to be transported in line, and they could be transported away in ten days and half a month, which was thankful, sometimes they waited for more than a month, and they might not be able to get the goods out.

In the early eighties, the dispatcher of the freight department could receive a bonus of 35 yuan a month.

The reason why it is 35 yuan is because the state stipulated that the bonus of government agencies and institutions should not exceed 35 yuan, and state-owned enterprises refer to the management of public institutions, so naturally there is an upper limit of 35 yuan bonus. It was not until after the wage reform in '85 that this cap was abolished.

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

The requirements for the selection of dispatchers in the freight department are also extremely strict, and if you want to be a dispatcher for trucks, you have to take a special exam. However, due to the fact that the position of dispatcher is too popular, every time a dispatcher is recruited, a large number of young employees will apply for the examination.

In his previous life, Li Weidong was only admitted to the dispatcher of the freight department in 1987, and now Li Weidong plans to take 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 after entering the nineties, the Qinghe Transportation Company is "dying quickly", and the company is going to go bankrupt, what is the use of being a leader?

What Li Weidong values is the dispatcher's control of information.

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

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

Which manufacturers in which places, what products these manufacturers produce, or what products these manufacturers need, and even the manufacturer's monthly raw material demand and commodity output, the dispatcher can estimate it.

In the future Internet era, there are many B2B professional platforms to serve enterprises, and a WeChat enterprise can complete the order.

However, in the 80s, it was difficult to get information between companies. 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 that are in stock cannot be sold, and those that are out of stock cannot be bought.

This information can be easily grasped by dispatchers.

Li Weidong had already made up his mind to go to the sea to do business when the time was ripe, but to start a business, at least he had to find a supply of raw materials, and he had to find a market for his products.

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