Chapter 312: Buying a Car
After the morning meeting on the second day of work to arrange work, Huang Daozhou immediately rode his bicycle to the Materials Bureau located on North Street.
Director Qin had just arrived at work, and before the tea was brewed, he saw Huang Daozhou, who was sweating profusely from the heat, and asked: "Old Huang, what's wrong? What happened to make you so anxious?"
"It's nothing serious, and I'm not in a hurry. I just sweat easily. I was riding so hard just now!"
"It's no big deal, just look at it!"
"The shipment volume of our factory is increasing. In order to facilitate delivery to user units, I am here to ask for your instructions to buy a Yuejin brand double-cab truck."
"Well! This is a good thing, and it is also within your authority. There is no need to ask for permission."
"No, we have to spend 30,000 yuan. I think I should ask you for permission. Only after you and the bureau party committee agree, will I feel at ease!"
"Well! It's right to be cautious. I support it. Other leaders in the bureau will also like it. You wait here and make tea for yourself and make it for me. I will go and meet with some party committee members at home.
"Don't worry, it must be unanimously approved." Director Qin held a brief meeting with several deputy directors and section chiefs.
All party committee members know that the development situation of the hydraulic component factory is very good. The purchase and shipment volume are increasing day by day. Trucks are indeed needed for purchase and delivery.
How could the bureau leaders object to buying a double-cab truck that could carry three more people? When Deputy Secretary Xue learned that Huang Daozhou was planning to buy a Yuejin NJ130, he took the initiative to help and called his acquaintances in the provincial capital on the spot.
That's his classmate, who is currently working as the deputy director of the branch at the Nanjing Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Buying a car these days is not something you just want to buy, and you're also very nervous. If you don't find connections, you'll have bad luck. It may take two or three months or even more.
I couldn't get the car for a long time.
Deputy Secretary Xue’s classmate was very awesome. After receiving the call, he promised to help. He replied an hour later and told Deputy Secretary Xue that he had received the bill of lading and could send someone to the provincial capital to pick up the goods at any time.
Huang Daozhou didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly. He left the Materials Bureau without returning to the hydraulic components factory and went directly to the joint transportation company.
The hydraulic component factory has a large transportation volume during this period. Of course, the carrier is a combined transportation company, and the person to contact is of course Cheng Shengli.
Today, by chance, Cheng Shengli was not on a business trip. After learning about Huang Daozhou's purpose, Cheng Shengli smiled so hard that he held Huang Daozhou's hand for a long time and refused to let go.
"Brother! You are such a timely blessing! Your family is my family's lucky star."
"Um? I asked you to help me introduce a driver, but why did I become a lucky star?"
"Of course it is! You will understand after listening to my introduction to the situation." It turns out that there is a reason. Cheng Shengli has an apprentice who has already completed his apprenticeship. He has been working as a temporary worker in the past few years. The joint transportation company has assigned more than a dozen more this year.
Demobilized military personnel.
These soldiers are all retired from the automobile service, and they are assigned to the intermodal transportation company as regular workers with the salary of second-level workers. Now the problem has arisen. The intermodal transportation company has fewer cars and more drivers.
The company held a meeting and decided to fire temporary workers to make room for regular workers. Cheng Shengli’s apprentice is called Feng Xinhua. The reason why he has been working as a temporary worker is because he does not have a fixed household registration.
He worked with Cheng Shengli in the joint transportation company for seven years. His skills were excellent and he was a decent person. Cheng Shengli was worried about how to keep this apprentice. When he learned that Huang Daozhou was looking for a driver, he was of course very happy.
He recommended Feng Xinhua to Huang Daozhou and assured him of Feng Xinhua's character and skills. Huang Daozhou and Cheng Shengli had known each other for more than a year and were already close friends.
Huang Daozhou immediately planned to use Feng Xinhua. He wanted to meet with people and express his opinion. If he liked it, the joint transportation company would give Feng a lot of benefits. The hydraulic components factory would try to hire him as a contract worker in half a year.
At present, the employment pressure in Sanshui County is high. It is already difficult to find jobs for young people with a fixed household registration and to provide jobs for educated youth who have returned to the city. Where can we find contract workers for farmers?
But Huang Daozhou can ask Director Lu for help because the driver belongs to a technical and special type of work and can, in principle, be taken care of.
The reason why intermodal transportation companies don't do it for others is entirely because their units have many drivers with formal employment establishments, and too many of them find connections to send apprentices.
The saying "A craftsman will never die of hunger in a lean year" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Sanshui County. Parents will always let their children learn crafts as long as they have the means.
Huang Han's uncle Zhang Yugen asked his elder brother to play cotton, his second son to learn bricklaying, and his fifth son to learn lathe work just to give his sons skills.
Learning to drive is too high-level, and ordinary rural people do not have this ability. Feng Xinhua was able to come to the Intermodal Transport Company to learn driving after he changed his job because his company commander was once the squad leader of the recruit company.
Cheng Shengli, who was still a new recruit at that time, was a soldier in this class. Later, Cheng Shengli became an automobile soldier.
The company commander failed to help activist Feng Xinhua recruit volunteers and felt sorry for this good soldier, so he specifically asked Cheng Shengli to help accept Feng Xinhua's apprentice.
Therefore, Feng Xinhua, who has a rural registered permanent residence, was able to become an apprentice at the joint transportation company and continue to work as a temporary worker here three years later.
Feng Xinhua's path was not wild enough. Although he was protected by Success, he only managed to keep his job and was not fired. It was not that difficult to get the treatment of a contract worker in the intermodal transportation company.
The hydraulic components factory needs a driver to buy a new car. This is undoubtedly because Cheng Shengli was dozing off when the zodiac boat rushed to deliver pillows.
Huang Daozhou also specifically asked Cheng Shengli, how is Feng's skills? Can he take an apprentice? And he knew that the person preparing the apprentice was not someone else but himself.
Cheng Shengli confirmed the decision on the spot and told Huang Daozhou that he had basically not taught his apprentices himself in recent years, but had Feng Xinhua take charge of them.
Feng Xinhua is twenty-eight years old and lives not far away. His registered permanent residence is in Xingfu Brigade, north of Sanshui City. He is married and has a child. He is not a young man and is very stable.
Huang Daozhou knew that Cheng Shengli was a real person and that he was sincerely helping, so he no longer worried about finding another driver. He politely refused and Cheng Shengli stayed at the joint transportation company to eat and return to the factory.
Cheng Shengli waited until after seven o'clock before Feng Xinhua came back from the car. He personally brought Feng Xinhua to
I met Huang Daozhou and Huang Han at the "It Happened Restaurant". Feng Xinhua, who is of medium height, is strong and strong, but was a little shy and nervous when they met. Huang Daozhou looked at him and found him pleasing to the eye.
Huang Han took Huang Daozhou's safety very seriously and asked specifically about Feng Xinhua's situation. He was somewhat reassured when Cheng Shengli introduced that he was a retired soldier with a rural registered permanent residence. He was a down-to-earth, steady, and technically sound person.
Finally, Huang Han looked directly into Feng Xinhua's eyes and asked: "Do you usually drink?"
"I don't drink much, I'm not addicted to alcohol!" Seeing Feng Xinhua's eyes without a trace, Huang Han nodded and said: "You have good conditions in all aspects. As long as you can guarantee not to drink while driving, my father will definitely keep you.
And we will actively help you with the contract."
"I can definitely do it. I don't drink in the first place." Huang Han looked at Huang Daozhou and nodded. The understanding Huang Daozhou decided on the spot that Feng Xinhua could go to work at the hydraulic components factory and follow him to the provincial capital to pick up a new car at noon.
How can Feng Xinhua drive a new car in the joint transportation company? The cars he drives are all the most outdated. There is no absolute bad thing in the world. If you drive a broken car too many times, your repair skills will naturally become better. In Cheng Shengli's team, his repair skills are only
Second to Cheng Shengli, he can compete with half of the professional repairmen of the United Transport Company.
In 1982, there were no self-employed people who owned cars in Sanshui County. Those who owned cars were state-owned and collective units.
If Feng Xinhua loses his job as a temporary worker in the intermodal transportation company, it will be really difficult to find a job as a driver.
