Chapter 31 Difficulty in picking up the car
Wang Haibin didn't sleep well all night, because he didn't eat a taste of tofu, but Li Weidong did.
Early the next morning, Wang Haibin stared at the dark circles under his eyes and appeared in front of everyone.
"I have to go to the Yellow River plant today to talk to them about the procurement business. Wang Haibin said and looked at Li Weidong and the two drivers: "If you don't have anything else, you can move freely today." ”
The two drivers nodded, and one of them said, "We have finished trying the car, so we won't go to the Yellow River Factory today, let's just take a stroll and go to see Baotu Spring." ”
Li Weidong said: "My business is not finished yet, I have to go to the Yellow River Factory." ”
Li Weidong, Wang Haibin and the clerk of the procurement office got into the jeep together, and Wang Haibin personally drove to the Yellow River Factory.
Wang Haibin drove very fast, Li Weidong sat in the jeep, but he didn't feel the bumps, Li Weidong couldn't help but say: "Director Wang, your car is driving very steadily!"
"Nonsense, I was born as a driver, twenty years ago, I was also a transportation pacesetter in the company, and you weren't born at that time!" Wang Haibin said angrily.
Li Weidong smiled, he knew that what Wang Haibin said was the truth.
Li Weidong's voice changed, and then asked: "Director Wang, how did you talk about the purchase of Yellow River heavy trucks?"
"I'm out on my own, so it's going to be fine. 10 Yellow River six-two heavy trucks have been decided. Wang Haibin said.
"It's planned, right?" asked Li Weidong.
"How do you know?" Wang Haibin asked with some unhappiness.
"Didn't you go to dinner with the leaders of the Department of Transportation yesterday, you had to use the Department of Transportation, I think it was a planned procurement. Li Weidong replied.
"You're in the right place. Wang Haibin turned his head to look at Li Weidong, and then asked: "I went to eat with the leaders of the Transportation Department for the company's business, but it was you, why did you also go to the Yellow River Factory Guest House for dinner?"
"The people of the Yellow River Factory invited guests, and I was also warm. Li Weidong replied.
"Why did the Yellow River Factory invite you?" asked Wang Haibin puzzled.
"It's a matter of repairing cars, they are in some trouble, and I just went to take a hand, which is considered to be a little help, and I have a meal by the way in the evening. Li Weidong replied vaguely.
"You can go to the guest house to eat with a handle, this Yellow River factory is really a big dog!" Wang Haibin said with a dissatisfied face.
While the two were talking, the car had already driven to the gate of the Yellow River Factory.
"It's here, get off. Wang Haibin said.
"Then I'll go to the repair shop first. Li Weidong got out of the car and went straight to the repair workshop of the Yellow River Factory.
Li Weidong walked to the door of the workshop and happened to see the workshop director Wei Bin walking out of the workshop.
"Xiao Li, I just received a call saying that there is a director Wang from your company, and I just went to talk to him and let you stay for another week. You go to my office first, there is hot water in the thermos, there are tea leaves on the table, you make your own tea. ”
Wei Bin said, trotting straight to the office building.
Li Weidong went directly to his office according to what Wei Bin said, then made himself a cup of tea, sat on the sofa, and began to think about the purchase of Yellow River heavy trucks.
"Wang Haibin got the planned target from the Department of Transportation, which should be the target of '85, but in my memory, the transportation company only introduced the first batch of heavy trucks in '86, what is going on?" Li Weidong was puzzled.
Twenty minutes later, Wei Bin returned to the workshop.
"Okay, I've already told Director Wang of your company to borrow you for a week. Wei Bin said.
"That Director Wang is not my direct leader, and I will have to call our Director Cui in a while. Li Weidong said.
"No problem, isn't it just a long-distance call, I can make a long-distance call with this phone, you can call in a while, and I will tell you Director Cui." Wei Bin said with a smile.
"By the way, Director Wei, I have something I want to ask you. How many heavy trucks can your factory produce in a year?" asked Li Weidong.
"Last year's production capacity was 3,000 vehicles, and this year it is expected to be expanded to 4,000 vehicles, and we strive to increase the production to 10,000 vehicles within five years!" Wei Bin said quite proudly.
At that time, China's automobile manufacturing level was concerned, and the annual output of 3,000 heavy trucks in the Yellow River Plant was already very good.
When FAW's old Jiefang production line was first launched, the designed annual output was only 3,000 vehicles.
However, the Yellow River Automobile Factory was the only enterprise that could produce heavy-duty trucks in China at that time, and in terms of domestic demand, not to mention an annual output of 3,000 vehicles, even if it was an annual output of 30,000 vehicles, it was not enough.
Li Weidong nodded, and asked again: "Director Wei, among these 3,000 vehicles, how many are in the plan?"
"Well...... Wei Bin smiled a little embarrassedly, lowered his voice and said, "It's really hard to say!"
"Director Wei, I'm talking about the plan. Li Weidong emphasized.
Wei Bin showed a shy expression: "It's planned, so it's not easy to say." ”
This time it was Li Weidong's turn to be a little confused. It is just to say that there is no accurate number of unplanned, but the planned tasks are arranged a year in advance, so how can it be "not easy to say".
"Xiao Li, you are still young, some things may not be clear, our Yellow River Factory is different from other enterprises. Most of the heavy trucks produced by our factory are sold unplanned. Wei Bin continued to lower his voice and explained.
"Then don't you undertake the planned production tasks?" asked Li Weidong curiously.
"Of course, we have to undertake the planned production tasks, but if someone really picks up the car with the planned slips, we say it is up to us to give it or not. We don't give a car, and they can't do anything about it. Wei Bin said arrogantly.
Li Weidong looked at Wei Bin with some surprise, he didn't expect that the Yellow River Factory would be such a bull coin, and in the face of the task assigned by the Planning Commission, he would dare to disobey the yang and the yin.
Of course, Li Weidong can understand what the Yellow River Plant is doing, after all, what is planned is the state, and what is unplanned is the company's own profits. It is not a new thing for enterprises to defy their superiors for their own interests.
"Director Wei, if you do this, you won't be afraid that the Planning Committee will get stuck in your neck and not give you raw materials?" asked Li Weidong.
"Hehe, our raw materials are also bought from the plan. Don't forget, what do we produce? Heavy trucks? Where is there no shortage of heavy trucks right now?"
Wei Bin straightened his chest proudly, and continued: "For example, if we need steel, we can say hello directly to the steel mill and say that if we sell them a few trucks, the steel mill will not send the steel over? Even if it is imported auto parts, we can exchange them with heavy trucks!"
"I see!" Li Weidong suddenly realized.
The Yellow River Plant produces heavy-duty trucks, which are needed in almost all industries, so the Yellow River Plant can use heavy-duty trucks to exchange all the resources they need from unplanned sources, without the need for the Planning Commission to allocate production materials.
Wei Bin continued: "Let me tell you a secret, above our Yellow River Plant, is the State National Heavy Duty Truck Joint Venture Company, which spent 600 million US dollars in foreign exchange to introduce the technology of Steyr trucks, and then used it for us, so that we can build the Yellow River 62." At the level of Sinotruk, of course, it is hoped that this project can bring profits as soon as possible. If you put all the cars in the plan, how can you make a profit?"
In the 80s, the country's foreign exchange was so short that it used 600 million US dollars of foreign exchange to introduce heavy trucks, which was also a bloody investment. The Sinotruk joint venture company has spent so much money, naturally hoping to bring benefits as soon as possible, so as to give an account to the country.
In that era of foreign exchange tension, the Sinotruk joint venture company was able to use 600 million US dollars in foreign exchange, which also shows that its power is not small. With the support of such a heavy truck joint venture company, the Yellow River Plant is in defiance of the yang and yin, and the above will turn a blind eye.
At this time, Li Weidong finally understood why the transportation company did not introduce heavy trucks until 1986. Because the Yellow River Plant didn't care about the planned approval at all.
"It seems that even if Wang Haibin is holding the note given by the Traffic Department, he doesn't want to mention the car!"
