Li Weidong officially started his career as a dispatcher.

There are two types of dispatchers in the freight department: on-site dispatchers and planning dispatchers.

The on-site dispatcher needs to work on the front line of freight and do some on-site management work, such as arranging the loading and unloading of vehicles, and sometimes need to travel with the car, which is equivalent to the on-site command of the drivers.

The planning dispatcher is responsible for the acceptance and summary of the business, dispatching vehicles, planning transportation routes, etc., according to the actual business situation, which is the brain of the entire transportation system.

Under normal circumstances, new dispatchers start from on-site dispatching, and can only be used as planning and dispatching after they are familiar with the situation of vehicles, routes, and various goods.

However, Li Weidong's performance in the exam has surpassed that of an ordinary dispatcher, and Zhao Guodong also intended to cultivate Li Weidong, so he directly let Li Weidong be the planning and dispatcher, without squatting in the freight yard or traveling with the driver.

Li Weidong did not disappoint Zhao Guodong, he quickly showed his ability, and his business level was only better than those old dispatchers, and after a few days of adaptation, Li Weidong was able to take charge on his own.

In the 80s, freight was a very lucrative industry. At that time, the price of oil was very cheap, gasoline was a dime a liter, and there was almost no increase in price throughout the eighties. There is no mandatory scrapping of the vehicle, as long as it can still move, it can be driven on the road to pull goods and make money.

In the mid-eighties, the freight per ton of cargo per kilometer was one dime and six cents and a half, and later the state raised the road maintenance fee standard, and began to levy freight surcharges, the freight per ton of goods per kilometer was raised to one dime and eight cents.

Taking Lao Jiefang as an example, Nu can run 400 kilometers a day, and according to the freight rate of one dime and six and a half tons of kilometers, one ton of goods is 66 yuan in freight.

Lao Jiefang has a load of 4 tons, but in order to pull more goods, he will definitely add a 4.5-ton full trailer, a total of 8.5 tons, and this car can earn 561 yuan in freight a day. If you overload it a little more, you can earn more.

In addition to fuel money, loading and unloading time, driver's cost, scheduling cost, no-load rate, etc., an old liberation can earn 8,000 to 10,000 yuan per month.

And that's just the old liberation with the least load, the more advanced trucks, which run faster, carry more loads, and earn more.

There are more than 200 trucks of all kinds in the freight department, which can create a profit of 2 million yuan for the transportation company every month!

Such huge profits are even more exaggerated than the tobacco industry in later generations. However, as a state-owned enterprise, no matter how much money it makes, most of the profits must be handed over to the state.

In eighty-three years, the state began to implement the profit tax, 55% of the profits were directly handed over to the State Taxation Bureau as enterprise income tax, and the profits obtained after tax were then handed over to the local government in accordance with the proportion, and part of the profits were left to the enterprises at their disposal. Basically, the country has the big head, the enterprise has the middle head, and the individual has the small head.

With the ability of Qinghe Transportation Company to make money, even if it is only a middle head, it is a lot of money.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhu Shicong to sell 500 million yuan of state-owned assets in the early 90s. If the transportation company does not make money, it will not be able to save 500 million belongings.

Therefore, Li Weidong, as the dispatcher of the freight department, casually dispatched a convoy, which was a business of tens of thousands of yuan.

......

At lunchtime, Li Weidong walked to the window and handed the lunch box to the chef, who didn't say a word, and directly served Li Weidong a big spoonful of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts.

Li Weidong glanced at it, the shredded meat was fat and thin, oily, and he was very appetizing when he looked at it. Li Weidong was just about to take back the lunch box, but the chef actually gave Li Weidong another half spoon.

"Master, why do you give so much today! Have you had a happy event at home?" Li Weidong said with a smile.

The chef glanced at Li Weidong and said: "Zengling County has a bumper harvest of garlic sprouts, and I bought more while it was cheap, but it suddenly warmed up in the past two days, and the garlic sprouts couldn't be put away and were easy to rot, so I hurried to eat them." ”

"I see. Li Weidong nodded, picked up the box of fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, and left the window of selling rice thoughtfully.

After lunch, Li Weidong returned to the dispatch room and began to check the freight orders received in the last week.

After careful investigation, Li Weidong frowned: "It's all at this time, there is no list of Zengling County, something big is going to happen!"

Thinking of this, Li Weidong picked up the calendar on the table, flipped through the pages, and finally drew a big circle at the position of May 29.

"May 29th, the tenth day of the lunar calendar, happens to be the day of the rural gathering, if I remember correctly, this is the day!

Li Weidong frowned and fell into thought.

......

May 29th.

In the Nanshan parking lot of the transportation company, a worker-like honest man stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Chen Lin's hand, and said with a smile: "Chen Dispatch, this batch of goods in our factory has been lined up for a week, or you help, I don't know how long I have to wait." ”

Chen Lin, the on-site dispatcher, kicked the cigarette into his pocket and said: "Lao Zhao, don't worry, I have already said hello to the dispatching department, and the dispatching department has also arranged a car, and it is estimated that the car will arrive in another half an hour." ”

"That...... Uh......" Lao Zhao suddenly swallowed the picture.

"Lao Zhao, if you have anything to say, why are you talking about it. Chen Lin said.

"Dispatch Chen, that's what you said an hour ago. Lao Zhao said cautiously.

"It's been an hour, and the car hasn't come yet?" Chen Lin suddenly looked embarrassed: "Lao Zhao, you wait, I'll call the dispatch department and ask what the situation is." ”

Chen Lin said, trotted all the way to the office in the parking lot, and dialed the phone number of the dispatch department.

"Hey, dispatch department, I'm Chen Lin, I'm in the Nanshan parking lot now, why haven't the five cars from the cable factory come yet, it's been an hour, and I have to hurry to load the goods!"

"What? No cars for the time being? How could it be? Didn't you just come back from Dongdao last night, and all of them were sent to Zengling County?

"How can you send the car out, I called in the morning, and the cable factory wants five cars. Everyone has been waiting for a week. Who sent the car to Zeng Ling?"

"Li Weidong, is it the new Li Weidong? Why did he send the car I wanted to Zeng Ling!"

"Yes, I know that he is planning and scheduling, and how to send the car is up to him, but he can't come nonsense! Our on-site dispatch is raised by the stepmother? Not even five cars will come!"

Chen Lin complained on the phone, but it didn't help, after all, the car had been dispatched.

Chen Lin walked out of the office with a pale face, and Lao Zhao immediately came up and asked eagerly, "Dispatch Chen, how is it? When will the car come?"

"Hey!" Chen Lin sighed: "The car is not available for the time being." ”

"No car?" Zhao Lao suddenly had a lost expression on his face.

Looking at Lao Zhao's lost appearance, Chen Lin clenched his fists with an airbag: "Lao Zhao, you wait, I'll go back to the company now and help you get the car back!"
