If the Red Star Fleet can be attached to the Oilfield Transportation Department, the benefits are self-evident. Although it is necessary to run the business of the oilfield from time to time, there are subsidies to be obtained. The most important thing is that the Red Star team can enjoy the preferential petrol prices of various gas stations in the oil field.

At this time, the exchange of materials between urban and rural areas was becoming more and more prosperous, and road transportation was just emerging, which was the golden age of truck drivers. At that time, the management cost of long-distance transportation was very limited, unlike today's truck drivers, who need to deal with traffic police, police stations, public security checkpoints, urban management, forestry, salt industry, tobacco, finance, industry and commerce and other departments at the same time. Therefore, the biggest cost of running long distances is gas money.

Affiliated to the oilfield transportation department, in addition to the monthly quota of free gasoline, you can also enjoy preferential prices, which greatly reduces the cost of Hudong's fleet.

Hu Dong and Zhao Yuemin discussed, simply expanded the investment, directly sold the Red Star Hotel, scraped together, and scraped together ten Dongfeng. And the original employees of the Red Star Hotel also went to take the driver's license test and changed to truck drivers.

It has a fleet of ten Dongfeng vehicles, but it is the largest private freight team in Jiangbei region, and when it goes out to transport a cargo, ten Dongfeng vehicles follow each other head and tail, and it is majestic. At that time, there was a saying about the road freight business, "Trucks look like heaven from afar, and trucks look like banks up close." "It means that if you have a car, you can make money every day when you run it.

The cost of oil prices is low, and it is a blue ocean market. Hu Dong and his brothers worked day and night, and when they were tired, they took a nap in the truck and did it happily.

Hu Dong's fleet business has expanded, not only in the Shaohu area, but also in several nearby cities. Gradually, Hu Dong and Zhao Yuemin found that just running goods from door to door seemed to be more than worth the loss. They plan to develop trucks with fixed shifts every day to collect scattered goods and send them from Shaohu Town to Nanjing.

In the early eighties, the economy was recovering, the exchange of urban and rural materials was becoming more and more frequent, urban industrial products went to the countryside, and rural industrial raw materials and native products entered the city, becoming the main service object of the Red Star team. These goods are varied, scattered, and have many batches and few batches.

According to these characteristics, Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong used their brains to set up trucks sent from Shaohu Town to Nanjing every day, collected scattered goods, and sent them out as a whole, which was fast and easy. In the 90s, LTL freight was in full swing, and road transport became the trend. The smart Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong laid the foundation for LTL freight as early as 1980, and unknowingly, became the ancestors of road freight......

Half a year has passed, and the diamond drill bits in the factory have been off the production line as scheduled and delivered to Daqing and Shengli Oilfields on time. After the payment came, Zhao Yuemin immediately announced that he would use the excess profits to build two family buildings to solve the accommodation problem of some workers in the factory first.

The family building rose from the ground, and Zhao Yuemin selected the advanced backbone of each workshop and the families of workers with difficulty in accommodation, and solved their accommodation problems first.

Every household assigned to the house had to invite Zhao Yuemin to eat dumplings, some carrying large bags of gifts, and some of them were loyal, saying that they would dedicate themselves to the machine repair factory for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Yuemin ate the dumplings, so he walked around the factory, and saw a cleaner wearing a blue sanitation suit sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the courtyard, so he went up to talk, and after chatting, he knew that the other party was a retired worker, because he couldn't be idle, so he worked as a temporary cleaner in the factory.

This old worker's name is Ge Zhixiong, and he is also silent and low-key on weekdays, but all the workers in the factory respect him very much.

"Lao Ge, I was negligent......," Zhao Yuemin patted his head while chatting and said, "I improve the welfare of the factory, patronize and take care of the workers, and forget about you retirees." ”

Ge Zhixiong smiled haughtily: "Those of us with old arms and legs, we don't have to worry about the factory director." We have been used to it all our lives, when we were fighting, we climbed snowy mountains, crossed grasslands, and gnawed tree bark, what did we not do? Let's take care of the young people. ”

Zhao Yuemin chatted and chatted, but he liked this old worker very much, and wanted to chat a few more words, but he heard a noise and noise in the workshop.

When he arrived at the workshop, he found that the atmosphere was a little strange. The female workers all blushed and bit each other's ears, while some of the male workers smiled wickedly.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yuemin asked Zhai Jun, the director of the workshop.

"Factory director, let's do this......" Zhai Jun was speechless for a while.

"Zhai Jun, aren't you usually quite articulate? Why did the knot break at the critical moment? Zhao Yuemin asked.

"It's not...... See for yourself......" Zhai Jun pointed to the young worker behind him.

The young worker was clinging to the machine, his face flushed and his expression embarrassed. Zhao Yuemin asked and found out that the young worker was fighting with his co-workers when operating the machine tool, and as a result, the steel ring of a bearing on the machine tool covered the key part of the crotch.

This is a bad thing, and there is no way to advance or retreat.

"Factory director......," the worker pleaded with a bitter face.

Only then did Zhao Yuemin understand that he also wanted to laugh at the smiles of the male and female workers just now, but he was the factory director anyway, and he had to maintain the majesty of the factory director.

"Quick, call the doctor......" Zhao Yuemin commanded.

When the doctor from the attached medical clinic arrived, he was dumbfounded when he encountered this situation, saying that he could not help it.

"The factory director, you can only disassemble the machine ......," the doctor said.

"This machine tool, millions of dollars, who is responsible for the dismantling?" Zhai Jun asked.

Zhao Yuemin took a deep breath, he understood that the machine tool was precisely constructed, and even in the process of dismantling, it was inevitable that it would not hurt the young worker. If it is really cut off from children and grandchildren, and the family comes to the door, Zhao Yuemin will not be able to cope with it.

"Factory director, I hurt ......" The worker was stuck for so long that tears were about to fall.

"Who told you to fool around?" Zhao Yuemin said with a straight face.

"I think I can only ask the eighth-level fitter to come and see if there is any way......" Zhai Jun said, "Quick, find the old Getou ......"

"Cleaner Lao Ge is an eighth-level fitter?" Zhao Yuemin was very surprised. The eighth-level fitter is the highest goal pursued by the worker, turning, milling, planing, grinding, boring, riveting, welding, and being proficient in everything. Many of them are masters of design and drawing in the machinery industry; It is necessary to master the machining properties of various metal materials, and the basic skills are extremely powerful.

Ge Zhixiong rushed over in a hurry, looked at the situation at the scene, and comforted the young worker: "It's okay, just wait a while." ”

He had a piece of V-shaped iron and a duckbill hammer found, and carefully and uprightly placed the bearing sleeve, along with the lifeblood of the young worker, on the notch of the V-iron.

Looking at Ge Zhixiong's slowly raised hammer, the people around him held their breath.

"Uncle Ge, will I become a eunuch?" The will of the young workers has collapsed.

"Don't cry, don't move. Listen to me, it's fine. Ge Zhixiong patiently comforted, he took a few deep breaths, and waved his right hand calmly.

I saw that the duckbill hammer, not light, heavy, impartial hit the top of the bearing ring, said that it was too late, then fast, only to see that the steel ring was suddenly cracked, scattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

"Uncle Ge......" The young worker looked down and saw that he was unharmed.

"Don't worry, it's no problem for you to give birth to three big fat boys." Ge Zhixiong said with a smile.

Ge Zhixiong's hammer completely shocked Zhao Yuemin. Legend has it that the mainstay of the factory, the god-like eighth-level fitter who can steal a car with a single wire, is right in front of his eyes.

He announced that he would immediately free Ge Zhixiong from his job as a cleaner and instead work as a consultant in the factory, working with the workshop director.

Zhao Yuemin believes that the 62-year-old Ge Zhixiong, who is still young, can still contribute to the production of the factory.
