Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 44 Dispatcher

As the founder of the transportation company, the old man Li Dengke has always been a low-key existence. Even those masters who have worked for 20 to 30 years did not realize that the old accountant Li, who laughed all day, actually worked in the transportation company. For thirty-three years.

  When Li Weidong spoke out Li Dengke’s resume aloud, everyone suddenly realized that Li Dengke was the only three remaining transportation company founders.

  It is said that with Li Dengke’s qualifications, he would have to become a leading cadre. However, Li Dengke was only an accountant until he retired. The main reason for this situation is that he was dragged down by his family.

  Li Dengke’s family was relatively wealthy when he was young. He had gone to middle school, and it was certainly not a poor family that was able to go to middle school at that time, at least it was impossible to be classified into the category of “poor peasants”.

  Li Weidong’s mother, Zhou Yunxiu, had even gone to high school, and she was also a girls’ high school run by the church. Before the liberation, those who could attend girls’ high school, even if they weren’t pretty girls, were Xiaojiabiyu, who had nothing to do with the “poor peasants”.

  Family elements like this also destined that Li Dengke can only be a human being with his tail between his tails. Especially in the relatively special years, he has spent every day in fear, not being driven to live in the bullpen, it’s not bad. Still thinking about getting promoted? Go dreaming!

  Li Dengke’s generation has gone through too many hardships. They have their own way of survival. For Li Dengke, his way of survival is low-key, low-key, and low-key, so that he can protect himself and his family.

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

  ……

  The issue of house allocation is temporarily over. Those who have not been allocated a house, although unwilling to accept the reality, can only helplessly accept the reality. After all, ranking according to seniority is the tradition of state-owned enterprises. In this respect, no one can compare to Li Dengke.

  The Spring Festival in 1985 is the latest day since the implementation of the Gregorian calendar. New Year's Eve is February 19th, and the Spring Festival is February 20th. After the Lantern Festival, it is already March 6th. I feel that spring is about to pass.

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

  At that time, the house did not need to be decorated. The wall was scraped off with a big white, plus a layer of concrete floor, you can move in with your bags.

  If you want to decorate, at most, apply a layer of red or green paint on the lower part of the wall. If someone can put a few large white tiles, it is definitely a luxurious decoration.

  As for the furniture, they are all hand-made. Some can work as carpenters, so they buy the materials themselves, make a bed, make a cabinet, make some tables, chairs and benches. The craftsmanship can even make the sofa by yourself. 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 any valuables at home, just a few pieces of clothes, plus pots and pans and other daily necessities, originally there was a flashlight, and the battery was dead, so the radio became the only household appliance.

  Li Weidong borrowed a ground truck and moved all of his belongings to his new home in one trip. Several older sisters and brother-in-law moved a few times each, even if the move was completed.

  ……

  When the spring flowers bloom.

  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 stopped. When he saw the content of the announcement, he couldn't help but feel happy.

  "The freight department is about to hire a dispatcher! We can finally change jobs."

  Li Weidong wanted to leave the auto repair shop a long time ago, but there was no suitable opportunity. Now this announcement just posted gives Li Weidong a chance to move his job.

Among the transportation companies, the vehicle dispatcher is the core position. Although the dispatchers in the transportation company are ordinary employees, they belong to the managers. The dispatchers can manage vehicles and people. They have some power in their hands. They are definitely better than auto mechanics. Many.

  If you want to get a promotion in a transportation company, you must also be familiar with the transportation business. The vehicle dispatcher can get in touch with all aspects of the transportation business, so it is easier to get a promotion.

  In the leadership team of Qinghe Transportation Company, they have basically had the experience of vehicle dispatchers, and among the middle-level cadres, more than half have worked as vehicle dispatchers. Even the flatterer Wang Haibin had worked as a vehicle dispatcher.

  Like Cui Dashan, he is only a middle-level cadre in his fifties, because he has never worked as a vehicle dispatcher and is not familiar with the transportation business. Cui Dashan's business expertise is repairing cars. No matter how good a car is repaired, the director of the auto repair workshop is the ceiling. If he doesn't understand the transportation business, it is impossible to get to the next level and enter the company's leadership team.

  In transportation companies, those young people who are unwilling to be workers for a lifetime and want to make progress will try to test the vehicle dispatcher.

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

  Passengers use fixed routes and leave regularly every day. Dispatchers only need to schedule the vehicles.

  The route and departure time of trucks are not fixed. You never know what to pull next, where to go, and how to arrange vehicles, personnel, goods, and routes. This is a test for truck dispatchers.

  The bonus for truck dispatchers is also higher than other positions.

  The 1980s was an era of "goods waiting for trucks". At that time, transportation companies didn't worry about the supply of goods at all. With the development of the national economy, a large number of goods are produced waiting for transportation, but the transportation capacity and hardware facilities have not kept up with the pace of economic development. Without enough vehicles, no amount of goods can be shipped out.

  In Hyundai, there is a batch of goods to be transported, and it is normal to load the truck and leave, and the express delivery will arrive the next day.

  In 1985, the shipments had to be queued up, and it was thank good for them to wait for ten and a half months for shipments. Sometimes, after waiting for more than a month, the shipments may not be able to be shipped out.

  The freight department is very efficient, and the bonus is naturally high. In the early 1980s, the dispatcher of the freight department could receive a bonus of 35 yuan a month.

The reason why the    is 35 yuan is because the state stipulated that the bonus of government agencies and institutions should not exceed 35 yuan. State-owned enterprises naturally have a bonus of 35 yuan by referring to the management of public institutions. This ceiling was abolished until after the wage reform in 1985.

  The position of dispatcher in the freight department has a great opportunity for promotion and a lot of bonuses. Naturally, it has become a sweet bun in the eyes of ordinary employees.

  The requirements for the selection of dispatchers in the freight department are also extremely strict. If you want to be a dispatcher of trucks, you have to take a special examination. But because the job of dispatcher is so popular, every time a dispatcher is recruited, a large number of young workers will apply for the exam.

  In his previous life, Li Weidong was only admitted as a dispatcher in the freight department in 1987. Now Li Weidong plans to take another exam as a dispatcher in the freight department.

  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 1990s, the Qinghe Transportation Company was "quickly dying" and the company was going to close down. What is the use of being a leader?

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

  As a truck dispatcher, what he does is not only the dispatching of vehicles, but also the understanding of the cargo situation. How many goods are there, where they come from, where they are shipped, and what the goods are, these are all information that dispatchers must control.

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

  Where are which manufacturers, which products these manufacturers produce, or what products these manufacturers need, and even the manufacturer’s monthly raw material demand and product output can be estimated by the dispatcher.

  In the future Internet era, there are many B2B professional platforms to serve enterprises, and enterprises can complete their orders by sending a WeChat account.

  However, in the 1980s, it was very difficult for companies to obtain information. Many companies produce products and cannot find the corresponding buyers. There are also many companies that demand a certain product but cannot find the source. Because there is no information, the ones that are in stock can't be sold, and the ones that are out of stock can't be bought.

  This information can be easily grasped by dispatchers.

  Li Weidong has made up his mind and will go to sea when the time is right to start a business. However, to start a business, at least we must be able to find the supply of raw materials, and we must also find a market for the products.

  So Li Weidong plans to go to the dispatcher at the freight office to accumulate information for future trips to the sea.
