Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 20 Missing Tires

  Li Weidong knew that transportation companies before 1986 were very short of tires.

  In the past few years of reform and opening up, people's biological resources such as food and cloth are no longer in short supply, but the supply of industrial products is still scarce in general. For example, tires are scarce materials that cannot be bought with money.

At that time, there was no policy of annual inspection and mandatory scrapping of automobiles. As long as the vehicles are properly maintained, a car can last for 20 years. The old liberation produced in the 1960s will have no problem in the 1980s. Qinghe Transportation Company There are many old liberations produced in the 1960s.

  However, the tires of a car cannot last for twenty years. The tires always wear out when the car is pulling goods all day. In addition, tires, rubber products, even if they are not used there, will begin to attenuate after six years, and they cannot be used even if the attenuation is severe.

  So for transportation companies, tires are necessary consumables.

  However, after entering the 1980s, China's economy gradually became more active, and the business volume of the transportation industry began to increase exponentially. The planned tires could no longer meet the needs of transportation companies. Simply put, the supply of tires was in short supply.

  So in a short period of time, there was a tire shortage. For transportation companies, the supply of tires in the plan is insufficient, and the car can only lie at home, which will not bring economic benefits, so they can only buy tires outside the plan.

  The same is true for the Qinghe area transportation company. The tires in the plan are used up in half of the time, and they can only rely on the purchase of unplanned tires to maintain the operation of the vehicles.

  In Li Weidong’s impression, Qinghe Transportation Company at the end of 1984 had a very serious shortage of tires. Some routes with bad road conditions may not be picked up at all to avoid excessive tire consumption.

  When leaving the car, try to form a large team as much as possible, and then bring less spare tires. For example, if five vehicles are sold at a time, these five vehicles only have one spare tire, so that more tires can be saved.

  It is miserable enough for a state-owned transportation enterprise with thousands of people to be mixed up like this.

  It happened that Wang Haibin, the head of procurement, was an incompetent flattery. He was very good at it and had poor business ability. Even if he was given enough money, he could not buy tires.

  Li Weidong remembered the lack of tires, so when he was at the Red Star Factory, he asked Liu Xueqin for tire procurement indicators.

  ...

  Li Weidong walked into the office behind Cui Dashan and greeted the secretary Yu Zhengcheng and the general manager Zhu Shicong successively.

  Yu Zhengcheng pointed to the sofa next to him, motioned to the two of them to sit down, and then said: "Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about it, what is going on?"

  Wang Haibin immediately said: “Going to the manufacturer to return the goods is the business of our procurement department. Li Weidong went to the manufacturer to return the goods privately, which seriously interfered with the business of our procurement department. This kind of unorganized and undisciplined behavior should be punished."

  Wang Haibin finished speaking, looked at Li Weidong again, and then said: "Xiao Li, in front of the two leaders, you still confess your mistakes quickly, write a check seriously, and get a lighter treatment!"

  I have to say that Wang Haibin still has some scheming. He only blames Li Weidong, but he never mentions the auto repair workshop, which is tantamount to transferring the responsibility to Li Weidong personally and avoiding direct conflict with the auto repair workshop.

  You need to know that if Wang Haibin gets involved in the auto repair workshop, it will become a conflict between departments, and the company’s leaders will most likely use peaceful means to solve the problem.

  If the responsibility is transferred to the individual, it will become a conflict between the individual and the collective. Even if the individual does the right thing, it will be a crime of being separated from the collective and disregarding the overall situation.

  These routines for wearing small shoes were learned by Wang Haibin in the struggle life more than ten years ago, and now they are applied to Li Weidong.

Of course, Cui Dashan had to defend Li Weidong. He explained: "The two leaders, I also reported on the substandard parts of the Red Star Factory at the company's regular meeting. However, the purchasing department has been slow to return the goods. If you wait At the end of the month’s settlement, if this batch of unqualified parts has not been returned, it will be calculated into our workshop’s expenses, and the whole workshop will have to deduct the bonus. That’s why I asked Li Weidong to go to the Pingzhou Red Star factory to zero out the unqualified parts. The parts are returned."

  Cui Dashan is indeed a good boss, and he took the initiative to block the responsibility on himself.

  Cui Dashan is in his early fifties, and he is still a middle-level cadre at his age, which means that it is impossible to continue to rise. Therefore, Cui Dashan doesn't mind helping with the mine. Anyway, the company cannot withdraw him as the director of the auto repair workshop.

Wang Haibin stared at Cui Dashan with a bit of dissatisfaction, and then explained: "We are not not returning the goods to the auto repair shop, but because the business is too busy recently, so we put the return of the goods behind. I originally planned to be busy. After this period of time, I sent someone to the Red Star Factory to return the goods."

  General Manager Zhu Shicong also said at this time: "I am in charge of the purchasing department. They have indeed had a lot of business recently. It is estimated that they will not be able to finish it until the end of the year."

With Zhu Shicong’s support, Wang Haibin's confidence was even stronger. He said: "It is an indisputable fact that Li Weidong interfered with the business of our procurement department. If everyone is like Li Weidong in the future, they can buy goods at will without going through the procurement department. Return the goods, how should the business of our procurement department be carried out? So I think the company should stop this improper ethos immediately and give Li Weidong certain punishments, so as to be effective."

Zhu Shicong, who came to help out, nodded immediately: "What Chief Wang said makes sense. The so-called irregularities do not form a circle. We are such a large company with thousands of employees. If everyone does their own way, they will do other things. Department’s business, then the entire company shouldn’t be messed up! This atmosphere must not increase! Each department performs its own duties and does its own business well, so that the company can operate normally."

Zhu Shicong looked at Li Weidong again, pretending to be cheerful, and said: "Xiao Li, the return of the goods is indeed your fault. This is originally the business of the purchasing office and is not in your control. By doing so, you have interfered with the work of the procurement department. You must reflect deeply and review carefully, and you must not make this mistake again!"

  Wang Haibin and Zhu Shicong sang together, and it seems that Li Weidong’s "guilt" will be determined.

Li Weidong smiled coldly. He said, "General Manager Zhu, I went to the Red Star Factory to return the goods, but I didn't delay my business. On the basis of completing my work, I helped the brother departments solve the difficulties. We are all one company. Yes, is it a mistake for comrades to help each other? According to this statement, how much does Comrade Lei have to be remembered? I have kindly and worked tirelessly to help the purchasing office. Did you make a mistake?"

   "We don't need your help in matters of our purchasing office! Don't mess around with rats!" Wang Haibin snorted coldly.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said, "Director Wang, your sales office cannot fulfill the tasks assigned by the company. You are the primary responsibility. Although you are also working hard, your business ability is not strong. But others are kind and kind to help you, you If you don't appreciate it, you'll be raking it, and that's what's wrong with you!"

   "Who did you say is not strong in business ability!" Wang Haibin was furious in an instant.

Li Weidong has already torn his face with Wang Haibin, and naturally no longer saves face for him. He then said: "Chief Wang, if you have strong business capabilities, why is our company still short of tires? The purchase of tires is yours. Business? There are five cars sharing a spare tire at the freight department. Why didn’t you buy the tires? Wasn’t the purchasing office busy? You didn’t get a tire because you were so busy. Strong!"

  Li Weidong’s words directly exposed Wang Haibin’s shortcomings.

  Wang Haibin instantly became irritated: "You are a mechanic, know what to buy! Do you think purchasing is such an easy thing? Do you know how difficult it is to buy tires these days!"

   "Yes, if you can't buy it, it's hard to buy. It's not your lack of business ability. In short, everything is caused by objective factors, and you have no responsibility at all." Li Weidong said sarcastically.

   "Li Weidong, don't stand up and talk and don't have a backache. You can buy tires if you have the ability? If you can buy tires, I will make them for you, the purchasing chief!" Wang Haibin shouted angrily.

   "That's what you said." Li Weidong put his hand into his pocket and took out the approval note for 250 tires from the Red Star Factory.
