Chapter 63: Grab the garlic sprouts

Chen Lin rode his bicycle and hurried to the transportation company. Along the way, the more Chen Lin thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

The car I contacted was transferred away by someone else in the blink of an eye, and the person who transferred the vehicle was Li Weidong!

Regarding Li Weidong, Chen Lin has long heard of him. He worked as a substitute at the age of sixteen, was assigned to a building at the age of seventeen, and got perfect marks in the dispatcher exam. These experiences are legendary among the young employees of the transportation company.

What made Chen Lin most angry was that Li Weidong became the planning dispatcher as soon as he entered the dispatch department.

Under normal circumstances, if you want to be a scheduler, you need to start as an on-site scheduler. After you are familiar with various businesses and accumulate a certain amount of work experience, you can become a scheduler.

For example, Chen Lin is an on-site dispatcher, and he is in the stage of accumulating experience.

However, Li Weidong, a newcomer, immediately became the planning dispatcher when he entered the dispatching department, directly stepping on the heads of all the on-site dispatchers. As an on-site dispatcher, Chen Lin naturally felt unhappy in his heart and had long been full of resentment towards Li Weidong.

As the saying goes, what looks good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. What Li Weidong has done in the past year is indeed too eye-catching. It is normal to attract the jealousy of others, especially young employees. There are many people who are jealous of Li Weidong.

Now that Li Weidong has transferred the car that Chen Lin wanted, it is like lighting a fuse, and all the accumulated old and new hatreds are about to explode.

Chen Lin parked his bicycle and walked towards the dispatch department angrily. At this moment, a voice stopped Chen Lin.

"Chen Lin, you are not on site during working hours, why are you back at work?"

Chen Lin looked back and saw that the person who stopped him was named Tao Yong, who was also the on-site dispatcher of the freight department.

"You're still talking about me, aren't you back too!" Chen Lin said.

"I came back because I have business!" Tao Yong sighed lightly, and then said: "I am also unlucky. I had already contacted the car to pick up the goods, but after waiting for a long time, the car never came, so I called the dispatch department.

Only then did I know that the car had been sent to another place."

Chen Lin looked at Tao Leyong, who had the same problem, and said, "Me too. I waited in the Nanshan parking lot for an hour before I found out that the five cars I wanted were dispatched to Zengling County."

"The car you want has also been transferred to Zengling County?" Tao Yong asked in surprise.

"Your car was also transferred by Li Weidong?" Chen Lin asked another question.

Neither of them answered, but they already knew the answer from the other's expression.

In an instant, Chen Lin seemed to have found a close friend: "This Li Weidong not only took away my car, he also took away your car. Let's go and settle the score with him!"

At this moment, another voice sounded: "Oh, you two are both here!"

The visitor's name is Wu Dongqiang, who is also the on-site dispatcher.

"Wu Dongqiang? Could it be that the car you want has also been sent to Zengling County?" Chen Lin asked.

"How did you know?" Wu Dongqiang looked surprised.

Chen Lin and Tao Yong looked at each other, and Zhiyin No. 3 was online!

"Come in!" Luo Bing shouted then, then raised his head and looked at the door, only to see Chen Lin, Tao Yong and Wu Dongqiang walking in.

Luo Bing was stunned for a moment, wondering what he was doing if he didn't stay on site during these three on-site dispatching work hours.

"Why are you three here? Is there something wrong?" Luo Bing asked.

"Captain, I can't do this job anymore!" Chen Lin said first.

"Yes, captain, if you do this, you really can't do it anymore!" Tao Yong helped from the side.

Luo Bing looked confused, pointed to the sofa next to him, and said, "What happened? Sit down and talk slowly."

After the three of them sat down, Chen Lin was the first to speak: "Captain, in our dispatching department, some plans and dispatches are just nonsense. I had originally ordered five cars, but they were sent to Zenling County. I went with

The customer waited there for an hour with big eyes open and didn't even see a wheel."

"It's for vehicle mobilization!" Luo Bing nodded.

The on-site dispatcher made an appointment for a car, but it was sent to another place by the planning dispatcher. Although it is not common, it always happens occasionally, and it is nothing new.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, you will listen to the plan and dispatch. After all, the plan and dispatch is the brain of the entire freight system.

It is understandable that the on-site dispatcher felt annoyed when the vehicle was temporarily transferred away, and complained.

Luo Bing's main method of dealing with similar matters is to talk to the on-site dispatcher and complain a few words, and then give a few words of advice, and the matter is over.

Just as Luo Bing was about to open his mouth to talk to Xini, Tao Yong also spoke: "Captain, the eight vehicles I want have also been sent to Zengling County."

"Captain, my seven vehicles were also sent to Zengling County." Wu Dongqiang said quickly.

"Five plus eight, plus seven, that's twenty vehicles. Is there any transportation task in Zenling County? So many vehicles are needed!" Luo Bing suddenly frowned.

The transportation company has a total of more than 200 trucks. Twenty vehicles were used at once, but they occupied nearly one-tenth of the transportation capacity.

At this time, Chen Lin continued: "Captain, we have asked, and the person who dispatched the car is all under the same plan, and it is the new Li Weidong."

"Li Weidong, why did he send twenty vehicles to Zengling County at once?" Thinking of this, Luo Bing picked up a folder from the table, which contained a summary of freight orders in the past two weeks.

Luo Bing checked carefully and found that there were only scattered orders in Zengling County, and there was no freight order that required twenty vehicles.

"What's going on?" Luo Bing stood up and decided to go to Corey to find out in person.

Li Weidong looked at the calendar. The number "29" was circled several times by him. It looked very conspicuous at first glance.

"Today is the 29th. I have transferred twenty vehicles. If you count them all, it will definitely not be enough. If there are empty vehicles later, I will have to transfer a few more to Zengling County." Li Weidong thought to himself.

The reason why Li Weidong wanted to mobilize vehicles to go to Zengling County was because he remembered a major event that happened in Zengling County in his previous life.

Zengling County is a county under the jurisdiction of Qinghe District. Although the land in Zengling County is not fertile, it has many rivers and farmland can be irrigated more effectively. Therefore, Zengling County has always been a large agricultural county.

Counties with agriculture as their backbone often mean poverty, and the same is true for Zengling County, whose economy ranks at the bottom of the entire Qinghe region.

There is no industry in Zenling County, there are no minerals buried underground, and its geographical location is not a major transportation thoroughfare. If it wants to develop, it can only rely on farming.

However, simply growing wheat can only help farmers fill their stomachs. It is impossible to get rid of poverty and become prosperous. Therefore, the agricultural department in Zengling began to encourage farmers to plant cash crops that can be sold for money, such as garlic.

Garlic is an indispensable condiment in people's daily lives, and it can also be used as medicine. In terms of economic benefits, growing garlic is definitely much better than growing wheat.

Zenling County sent agricultural technicians to promote garlic cultivation to farmers, so a small number of farmers began to turn to garlic.

Two crops of garlic can be sold, one is the garlic when it matures in summer, and the other is the garlic flower stems that are cut off in April and May every year, which are the garlic sprouts we eat.

When the garlic sprouts are mature, cut them off and the nutrients absorbed by the garlic from the soil will be supplied to the garlic, making the garlic grow larger.

Garlic sprouts are a seasonal vegetable, and the price was not cheap at that time. Before the 1980s, domestic garlic cultivation was not high, so the yield of garlic sprouts was not high. It is said that rare things are valuable.

In 1984, after the garlic sprouts in Zengling County were harvested, they were sold to big cities like Beijing or Shanghai. The selling price could reach 50 cents per catty, almost as much as half a catty of pork. It was definitely a luxury item among vegetables.

.

This year, the farmers who grew garlic also made money. Some farmers built new houses and married wives by buying garlic sprouts.

Seeing how profitable garlic sprouts were, other farmers also switched to growing garlic. The amount of garlic planted in Zengling County instantly increased hundreds of times.

The output of garlic sprouts has increased, and the price has naturally come down. It is definitely impossible to sell them for 50 cents per catty, but for farmers, even selling them for 10 cents per catty is much more cost-effective than growing grain.

Garlic sprouts costing a cent a pound can definitely be sold. If they are shipped to a big city at this price, they will be robbed like crazy.

But the key problem is that there are not enough vehicles for transportation.

When the garlic sprouts were harvested last year, the planting area was still relatively small. Zenling County temporarily found some light trucks and borrowed a few vehicles from some companies to transport the garlic sprouts to Shanghai.

By 1985, the garlic area had increased hundreds of times, and the output of garlic sprouts had also increased hundreds of times. Transportation became a big problem.

Garlic sprouts are a vegetable that can be refrigerated and have little impact on the taste after thawing. In the future, garlic sprouts will be the vegetable with the largest storage volume and the longest storage time in the vegetable refrigeration industry.

But if they are not refrigerated, the garlic sprouts will rot quickly. Moreover, the time when garlic sprouts mature on a large scale is in May. The weather will get hotter and hotter, and the garlic sprouts will rot faster and faster.

In the 1980s, there was no vegetable refrigeration industry in China. It was considered good to have one or two refrigerated warehouses in a county. In poor counties like Zengling County, there were no refrigerated warehouses to store garlic sprouts. The only way was to store garlic sprouts as soon as possible.

Transport the garlic sprouts to the city and sell them in the market.

In May, when there was a bumper harvest of garlic sprouts in Zengling County, there were no vehicles to transport them. Farmers could only watch the garlic sprouts rotting in the fields, and they had no choice. So the agricultural department that encouraged farmers to plant garlic decided to

It became the target for farmers to vent their anger.

May 29th is the tenth day of the lunar calendar. There is a market in the countryside. Many garlic growers go to the market with their garlic sprouts, hoping to sell some of them and stop their losses in time. However, when the farmers arrive at the market, they find that the whole

Garlic sprouts are sold in the market.

Everyone is a seller, and there are no buyers. The farmers all realize that the garlic sprouts cannot be sold, and everyone feels that the county has deceived them.

Zengling has always had strong folk customs and is the kind of area where family planning cadres are often beaten.

So thousands of angry garlic farmers went directly to the county seat to settle accounts with "officials."

Those peasants who face the loess and back to the sky are not very educated and have little knowledge. They think that as long as they are from the county, they are "officials", and if they are from the city or province, even if they are just a low-level clerk

, also "a high official".

Thousands of garlic farmers surrounded the county office to demand an explanation. This was no longer as simple as ordinary people petitioning, and naturally it alarmed their superiors.

After this incident, Qinghe Transportation Company has another political task, which is to mobilize vehicles to transport garlic sprouts to Zengling County every May.

In this matter, the county's original intention was good. They wanted to help farmers get rid of poverty and become rich, but they were self-defeating due to poor consideration.

Those garlic farmers are also worthy of sympathy. Farmers' income depends entirely on farming. If what they grow cannot be sold and all rots in the ground, then the hard work of this year will be in vain, and they may not even have food next year.

.

When Zengling County discovered that the garlic sprouts could not be shipped out, it also placed a freight order with the transportation company. However, by the time the order was delivered to the transportation company, it was already the 28th.

However, since goods were waiting for trucks at that time, and it usually took ten days and a half to load the goods, it was definitely too late for Zenling County to place a temporary transportation order. The trucks were all dispatched in advance, and there was no transportation capacity at all.

To transport garlic sprouts.

Li Weidong was cooking in the canteen. When he heard that there was a big harvest of garlic sprouts in Zengling County, he immediately remembered the incident. So he went back to look at the calendar and recalled the time when the incident happened.

Garlic is not valuable. The livelihood of many garlic farmers in the coming year depends entirely on this crop of garlic sprouts. Even if they only sell for 10 cents per catty, they can earn 70 or 80 yuan if they sell 700 to 800 catties. For farmers, this is a lot of money.

The income of 70 to 80 yuan can already help them escape poverty.

Farming is not easy for farmers. They have worked hard for a year and are counting on this crop of garlic sprouts. Therefore, Li Weidong decided to prioritize the dispatch of vehicles to Zengling County to rush to transport garlic sprouts.

Luo Bing came to the dispatch room and saw Li Weidong making a phone call there, probably discussing business.

Luo Bing did not bother Li Weidong, but walked to another dispatcher and asked: "Are there any freight orders from Zengling County in the past two days?"

"Yes, they came yesterday." The dispatcher replied.

"Did you just need a car yesterday? How many cars do you need? What to transport?" Luo Bing asked again.

"It seems that there are 100 vehicles. I don't know exactly what they are transporting. Xiao Li is responsible for this matter." The dispatcher explained.

Luo Bing looked at Li Weidong, who was still talking on the phone.

Behind Luo Bing, Chen Lin came up and whispered: "Captain, you have heard it, this Li Weidong is too shameless. We have many orders that have been backlogged for more than a week and have not been shipped out, but this time

Ling County received the order yesterday, and Li Weidong arranged it today, maybe he benefited from it!"

Luo Bing frowned slightly, this was also what he was most worried about.

In order to get the freight out as early as possible, many companies will bribe dispatchers to arrange vehicles in advance, so if dispatchers want to make money, they can definitely make a lot of money.

If a dispatcher takes benefits from the cargo owner and arranges a vehicle for the cargo owner in advance, this is considered bribery. The Freight Department has clear regulations and the dispatcher is never allowed to receive benefits from the cargo owner. Once discovered, he will get out of the freight department directly and will be subject to disciplinary penalties.

.

Of course, when the dispatcher is arranging a vehicle, the cargo owner conveniently delivers a box of cigarettes, or early in the morning, the cargo owner treats the dispatcher to a fried dough stick or a bowl of soy milk. This behavior is not considered a benefit.

How much is a pack of cigarettes and a breakfast worth? No corrupt official makes a fortune by sipping soy milk.

This kind of eating, drinking and petty friendships does not violate the principles, so the freight department turned a blind eye.

Li Weidong is Zhao Guodong's favorite person, so Luo Bing also takes good care of Li Weidong. However, Li Weidong's biggest shortcoming is his youth. When the topic of "getting benefits" comes up, Luo Bing is really worried. Li Weidong, a young comrade who guards

Don’t stick to the bottom line!

At this time, in Zengling County, angry garlic farmers had surrounded the county office with water.

Seeing that there are more and more garlic farmers, the people inside are very anxious.

At this time, the leaders of Zengling County had called the Qinghe Prefectural Committee for the third time:

"We really can't bear it now. Just now, those garlic farmers who were petitioning rushed into our yard!

I beg the leaders of the prefectural committee to save us as soon as possible!

How to save it? As long as there is a car that can transport the garlic sprouts, we will be saved!"
