Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 45 Trap Questions

  Auto repair workshop, Li Weidong found a bright corner, holding a traffic map of Handong Province in his hand, carefully memorizing every route, these are the content of the test.

  As a truck dispatcher, familiarity with transportation routes is the most basic ability. If you are not familiar with the road, how to dispatch vehicles.

In 1985, there was no expressway in China. At that time, transportation was carried on national and provincial highways. From one place to another, which routes can be selected, how long each route is, what is the road condition, and how much the journey cost Time, the towns and villages that will pass through on the way, which towns and villages often have car bandits and road bullies, these are the information that dispatchers need to grasp.

  Freight transportation is different from passenger transportation. Passenger transportation is a round trip between two places. The route and time are fixed. The dispatcher only needs to remember a few main routes.

However, freight is not a simple round trip between the two places. The supply and demand of goods between cities are different. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be goods when you go, and when you come back, you will lose money when running empty, so trucks often have to go through the first. Pulling and unloading from three places.

  An excellent truck dispatcher, the route he arranges is always a circle. When a car goes out, it will unload and reload in a different city, and then go to the next location. When it returns, several transactions have been completed.

  Transportation costs and profits are also things that truck dispatchers consider. As a truck dispatcher, no matter how reasonable the route is arranged, it is useless to make no money when a car runs back.

  So truck dispatchers have to have strong overall planning and arithmetic skills, and they must be able to estimate in a short time how this train can run to make more money.

  Li Weidong focused on the traffic map in his hand, and even Cui Dashan came to his side without noticing it.

   "Little Li, what are you looking for!" Cui Dashan asked.

  Li Weidong raised his head and saw the little red notebook in Cui Dashan's hand at a glance.

  Li Weidong knew that Cui Dashan was going to be a matchmaker again, so he hurriedly said, "Director Cui, I'm going to test the dispatcher at the freight office."

   "The dispatcher at the freight office is not so easy to take the test. Every time 70 or 80 people take the test, one or two people can pass." Cui Dashan said.

   "So, I'm starting to review it now." Li Weidong pointed to the traffic map in his hand.

"That's fine, take advantage of your youth, and work hard, do young people want to be motivated! The dispatcher of the freight department has a high salary and has a lot of room for improvement, so he should go to the test." Cui Dashan said this, but he thought It's a little empty.

  Seeing that his subordinates are about to quit, there will definitely be some uncomfortable feelings in the heart of being a leader.

Just listen to Cui Dashan then said: "The dispatcher is very difficult to take the exam. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t pass the exam. There will be opportunities in the future. Even if you can’t pass the exam, it’s good to stay in the auto repair workshop. The business volume of our auto repair workshop , It also grows year by year."

"In the future, there will be more and more vehicles, and there will even be many individuals buying cars. At that time, our auto repair shop may be independent from the transportation company and become a separate auto repair shop! Director Cui, then you will be Director Cui!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

   "Personal buying a car? How can this be possible! Cars are so expensive, and for our salary, buying a tire is about the same." Cui Dashanquan was joking as Li Weidong.

  In the Qinghe area in the 1980s, there were only three places where cars could be repaired. One was the auto repair team of the military division, the other was the auto repair team of the Public Security Bureau, and the other was the auto repair workshop of the transportation company.

The auto repair squad of the military division can repair tanks, but it is not open to civilian use. People only repair military vehicles. The auto repair squad of the Public Security Bureau rarely repairs cars. They mainly repair motorcycles, because the public security department at that time, They are all equipped with the kind of motorcycles with children, and the grassroots can't afford a car.

  So all the enterprises and institutions in Qinghe area who repair cars will come to the auto repair workshop of the transportation company, so the business of the auto repair workshop is still very prosperous.

  With the gradual increase of vehicles, the auto repair workshop of the transportation company has become increasingly busy, and finally it went out independently and established the auto repair factory of the transportation company with independent accounting of revenue and expenditure, which can be regarded as the tertiary industry of the transportation company. And Cui Dashan also became the first director of the auto repair plant.

The technical school has not yet opened the era of auto repair majors. The auto repair factory of the transportation company is almost a monopoly of the local auto repair business. In the future, the transportation company is about to close down and when a large number of employees are laid off, the business of the auto repair shop is still booming. Workers also escaped the layoffs of state-owned enterprises in the 1990s.

  Later, private cars became popular, and there were more and more shops for repairing cars on the roadside, but the business of repairing factories was still booming. After all, the auto repair shop is state-owned, and the cars of agencies and institutions are sent to the auto repair shop for repair, and it is easier to get reimbursement. Ordinary people also believe in state-owned units, and at least they will not add sugar when adding engine oil.

  ……

  Cargo Department, dispatching team leader Luo Bing handed the prepared examination questions to Director Zhao Guodong.

   "Director, I have prepared the questions for the dispatcher exam. You have to go through it first, and I will modify it if it is inappropriate." Luo Bing said.

  Zhao Guodong took the test, and only after reading the beginning, he picked up a pen and crossed out a question.

  "This question is too simple, and everyone can do it, so there is no need to put it on it."

   "This question has been taken the last time, and many people know the answer. There is no need to take it again."

   "The two questions are a bit repetitive, just leave one of them."

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Guodong deleted several questions.

   "Director, will this topic be too difficult? The rest of these topics must have been worked as a dispatcher before they can be answered correctly." Luo Bing said.

"I don't think the difficulty is enough!" Zhao Guodong continued: "So many young workers want to come to our freight department as dispatchers. Of course we have to choose the best. If the topic is too simple, how can we choose the best one. There are not too many soldiers, and the exam questions are the same. This time I will ask ten questions, but they must be representative. Now there are nine questions, and I will add one more question."

  Zhao Guodong finished speaking and added another question to the test. Afterwards, Zhao Guodong returned the test paper to Luo Bing and said, "Lao Luo, what do you think of this question I asked?"

Luo Bing took the test paper: "In August this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks, which need to be parked in the Dongguan parking lot and Nanshan parking lot, asking how to allocate the vehicles, and explain the reasons. Haha, Director, you are A trap question!"

   "Oh? Come and listen." Zhao Guodong said.

"When most people see this question, they will feel that they are testing their familiarity with the company’s several parking lots. Our company’s Nanshan parking lot is relatively small and can only park forty trucks, while the Dongguan parking lot is much larger. If 80 trucks are parked, if they are allocated according to the normal number, it will be 20 in Nanshan and 40 in Dongguan."

   Luo Bing said this, smiling slyly, and then said: "But if you answer this way, you must be wrong!"

   "Why?" Zhao Guodong asked.

"Director, you are deliberately testing me! There are many factories in Nanshan, and there is a great demand for freight. Dongguan is mainly a residential area, and the beach of Qinghe is next to it. There is no demand for freight at all. If you park forty cars in the Dongguan parking lot, you have to go back to Nanshan to pick up the goods. Wouldn’t it be a waste of effort."

Luo Bing's eyes showed conceit, and then he said: "So the correct answer is that forty cars parked in Nanshan, and the remaining 20 cars, Nanshan can't stop, go to Dongguan. Director, your question On the surface, what is tested is the familiarity of the company's parking lot, but in fact it is testing the mastery of the source of the goods. This question has a hole. If you are not an experienced dispatcher, you will definitely fall into the hole."

  Zhao Guodong nodded, and said lightly, "You got the wrong answer!"

   "What? I got the wrong answer? How is this possible!" Luo Bing was taken aback.

  "The correct answer is, sixty vehicles, all parked at Dongguan Depot!" Zhao Guodong replied.

   "Why?" Zhao Guodong looked puzzled.

"Look at the subject carefully. What I wrote above is that in August this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks. Have you forgotten that August is the flood season? Our company has to undertake the task of fighting floods every year." Zhao Guodong started to remind.

"Oh, why did I forget this!" Luo Bing patted his head, and then said, "Dongguan parking lot is very close to the river beach. If you receive a flood control task, you can go to the river beach to put sandbags at any time, and then throw in. In the flood control mission."

   "What else?" Zhao Guodong asked next.

  Luo Bing was taken aback again: "What else?"

Zhao Guodong had to explain: "Nanshan is on the south side of the railway. To come from Nanshan, you have to pass through a railway culvert. The railway culvert is sinking. During the flood season, a heavy rain can flood the railway culvert. Can't make it! So all the vehicles must be concentrated in the Dongguan parking lot."

"I understand! Director, this question of yours is a double trap. Even the dispatching captain of me has fallen into the trap. Those newcomers will definitely not be able to answer it. It seems that this time, few people who took the exam can Pass the test," Luo Bing said.

"I just give those newcomers a prestige to let them know that it is not so easy to be a dispatcher. The newcomers have a sense of frustration, and when they come to our place, they will learn humbly." Zhao Guodong continued: Print out the test questions, keep them secret, and don’t vent them."

   "Director, don't worry, I will do this myself." Luo Bing said.

  ……

  Luo Bing came to the printing room, found a piece of wax paper, engraved the question with a pen, and then went to the mimeograph machine, brushed the ink and started to print the test paper.

  In the 1980s, developed countries had already used photocopiers, but China still used mimeographs and traditional manual mimeographs. Put wax paper first, then lay a piece of white paper, and roll it with an ink roller to print the words on the white paper. The printing speed is relatively slow, the workload is heavy, and the ink smell is very pungent.

After spending some time, Luo Bing finished the printing. He threw the used wax paper into the trash can and left the printing room with the test paper.

  As soon as Luo Bing left, the administrator of the printing room walked in, quietly took the used wax paper out of the trash can, carefully flattened it, and rubbed the contents on it again with white paper.

  After rubbing the test questions, although the handwriting is already unclear, the content can still be recognizable.

  At the end of get off work time, this test question with unclear handwriting has appeared in Wang Haibin's hands.

  ……

  Wang Lei walked into the house humming a Cantonese song. This time he sang "The Great Wall Never Fall".

"The Great Wall can't be used" is the theme song of the TV series "Huo Yuanjia". This TV series has been popular all over the country. On the spring evening of 1985, Lu Nianzu sang this song, which made this song even more impressive. Become a popular song.

  In the living room, Wang Haibin is at the table writing the test question.

   "Dad, what do you write?" Wang Lei asked.

  "Not writing materials, but doing test questions." Wang Haibin replied.

   "What are the test questions? Dad, do you want to take the test?" Wang Lei asked again.

  Wang Haibin glared at his son: "What exam do I take? This is the question for you to take the dispatcher exam!"

  "What? You can get the test questions for the dispatcher? Dad, you are really good." Wang Lei was taken aback, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb.

   "Nonsense, if I don't get the test questions, with your little ability, don't expect to be admitted to the dispatcher for the rest of my life!" Wang Haibin sighed in hatred for iron and steel, and then said:

"This test question is very difficult. You will definitely not answer it. Fortunately, I have also worked as a dispatcher. I can answer the above questions. I will finish eating after a while and don’t do anything. If you don’t sleep, you have to memorize these answers!"

   Realizing that Wang Haibin’s tone was very serious, Wang Lei nodded honestly: "I see."

Wang Haibin went on to say: "I have heard that this time the freight department is recruiting dispatchers, and only one person is hired, which means that you must be admitted to the first place in order to be a dispatcher. Dispatchers are the most popular in the company. As long as you are admitted to the dispatcher, you will surely get the number of regulars this year!"

   "Dad, don't worry, I must memorize it all." Wang Lei said.

   "Also, keep your mouth under control, don't go around!" Wang Haibin deliberately ordered, then lowered his head and continued to do the problem.

"In August of this year, the company will purchase 60 trucks that need to be parked in the Dongguan parking lot and Nanshan parking lot, asking how to allocate the vehicles, and explaining the reasons. This is to test the familiarity of the company parking lot, I remember The Dongguan parking lot can park 80 cars, and the Nanshan parking lot can only park forty cars. If you count this, there are 40 cars parked in Dongguan and 20 cars in Nanshan."

  Wang Haibin was about to write an answer, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

"No. On the surface, this question tests the familiarity of the company's parking lot, but it actually tests the knowledge of the source of the goods. Nanshan has so many factories, so the Nanshan parking lot should be full of forty vehicles! This is a question from a grandson, and it is a pitfall! How can a newcomer be able to answer it. But such a small trap can't be hidden from me!"

  Wang Haibin showed a triumphant smile on his face.

  　 Everyone, don’t forget to give a recommendation ticket! Thanks to Zeus for his ponytail and Zi Minluan for his wonderful interpretation of life!
