Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong knew that transportation companies before 1986 were in great need of tires.

After several years of reform and opening up, people's necessities such as food and cloth are no longer scarce. However, the supply of industrial products is still scarce in general. For example, tires are scarce materials that cannot be bought even if you have money.

At that time, there was no policy on annual vehicle inspections and mandatory scrapping. As long as the vehicles were properly maintained by transportation companies, a vehicle could be used for twenty years. An old Jiefang produced in the 1960s could be driven into the 1980s without any problems. Qinghe Transportation Company

There are many old Jiefang products produced in the 1960s.

However, it is impossible for car tires to last twenty years. Cars haul goods all day long, and tires are always worn out. Moreover, rubber products such as tires, even if they are left unused, will begin to decay after six years, and the decay will be severe.

Still can't be used.

Therefore, for transportation companies, tires are essential 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 exceeded demand.

Therefore, in a short period of time, there was a tire shortage. For transportation companies, the supply of planned tires was insufficient, and the cars could only sit at home, which would not bring economic benefits, so they could only purchase them from outside the plan.

tire.

The same is true for the Qinghe Regional Transportation Company. The planned tires were used up in more than half the time, and they could only rely on purchasing unplanned tires to maintain the operation of the vehicles.

In Li Weidong's impression, at the end of 1984, Qinghe Transportation Company's tire shortage was already very serious. Some routes with poor road conditions were simply not picked up to avoid excessive consumption of tires.

When going out, try to form a large convoy and bring as few spare tires as possible. For example, if you send out five cars at a time, these five cars will only bring one spare tire, so that you can save more tires.

It is quite miserable for a state-owned transportation enterprise with thousands of people to be in such a mess.

However, Wang Haibin, the director of the Procurement Department, is an incompetent sycophant who is good at flattering others but has poor business ability. Even if he is given enough money, he cannot buy tires.

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

…

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

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

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

After Wang Haibin finished speaking, he looked at Li Weidong and continued: "Xiao Li, in front of the two leaders, you should admit your mistake quickly, write an inspection seriously, and you can still strive for a lenient treatment!"

It has to be said that Wang Haibin is still somewhat scheming. He only blamed Li Weidong, but never mentioned the auto repair shop. This was tantamount to passing the responsibility onto Li Weidong personally and avoiding direct conflict with the auto repair shop.

You know, if Wang Haibin gets involved in the auto repair shop, it will become a conflict between departments, and the company leaders will most likely use conciliation to solve the problem.

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

These tricks of making people wear small shoes were learned by Wang Haibin from the struggle life more than ten years ago, and now they are used on Li Weidong.

Of course Cui Dashan had to defend Li Weidong. He explained: "Two leaders, I also reported the batch of unqualified parts at the Red Star Factory at the company's regular meeting. However, the purchasing department has not returned the goods. If you wait until

At the end of the month, if these unqualified parts have not been returned, they will be calculated into our workshop expenses, and bonuses will be deducted for the entire workshop. So I asked Li Weidong to go to Pingzhou Hongxing Factory to return the unqualified parts.

The parts were returned.”

Cui Dashan is indeed a good boss, taking the initiative to put the responsibility on himself.

Cui Dashan is in his early fifties. At his age, he is still a middle-level cadre, which means that he cannot continue to be promoted. Therefore, Cui Dashan does not mind helping his subordinates to deal with the thunder. Anyway, the company cannot remove him as the director of the auto repair workshop.

Wang Haibin glared at Cui Dashan with some dissatisfaction, and then explained: "It's not that we don't return goods to the auto repair shop, but because the business has been too busy recently, we put the return matter at the back. I originally planned to be busy.

After a while, 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 finished until the end of the year."

With Zhu Shicong's support, Wang Haibin was more confident. He said: "It is an indisputable fact that Li Weidong interfered with the business of our purchasing department. If everyone in the future is like Li Weidong, he will buy goods at will without going through the purchasing department.

If we return goods, how should we carry out the business of our purchasing department? So I think the company should immediately stop this unfair trend and impose certain penalties on Li Weidong, so as to serve as a warning to others."

Zhu Shicong, who came to help, nodded immediately: "Director Wang is right. There is no rule without rules. We are such a big company with thousands of employees. If everyone does their own thing, they can all do other things."

If the department's business is compromised, then the entire company will be in chaos! This trend must not increase! Each department should perform its own duties and do its own business well, so that the company can operate normally."

Zhu Shicong looked at Li Weidong again, pretending to be friendly, and said: "Xiao Li, it is indeed your fault for returning goods. This is the business of the purchasing department and is not your responsibility.

What you did is interfering with the work of the Procurement Department. You must deeply reflect and review carefully, and make sure you do not make this mistake again!"

Wang Haibin and Zhu Shicong's chorus was about to determine Li Weidong's "culpability".

Li Weidong smiled coldly and said: "General Manager Zhu, I went to the Red Star Factory to return goods, but it did not delay my business. On the basis of completing my own work, I helped my brother departments solve their difficulties. We are all the same company.

Yes, is it a mistake for comrades to help each other? According to this statement, how many serious demerits does Comrade Lei deserve? I have good intentions and worked tirelessly to help the procurement department. If you don't do it to me, it's fine. How can I still be successful?

Did you make a mistake?"

"We don't need your help with our purchasing department's affairs! Don't meddle in other people's business!" Wang Haibin snorted coldly.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and said: "Director Wang, if your sales office cannot complete the tasks assigned by the company, you are the primary responsibility. Although you work hard, your business ability is not strong. But others are kind and kind to help you, you

If you don’t appreciate it but slap it down, that’s what’s wrong with you!”

"Who are you saying is not strong enough in business?" Wang Haibin was instantly furious.

Li Weidong had already lost face with Wang Haibin, and naturally he no longer wanted to save face for him. He continued: "Director Wang, if your business ability is strong enough, why is our company still short of tires? The tires are purchased by your purchasing department.

Business, right? There are five cars sharing one spare tire at the freight department. Why didn’t I see you buy the tire? Isn’t the purchasing office busy? I was so busy that I didn’t even get a tire. It’s because of your lack of business ability.

How strong!"

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

Wang Haibin instantly became angry: "You're an auto mechanic, what do you know about purchasing! Do you think purchasing is that easy? Do you know how difficult it is to buy tires these days!"

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

"Li Weidong, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. If you have the ability, why don't you buy tires? If you can buy tires, I, the director of the purchasing department, will do it for you!" Wang Haibin yelled angrily.

"This is what you said." Li Weidong put his hand into his pocket and took out the approval slip for 250 tires from the Red Star Factory.
