Chapter 34 Transportation
Chapter 34 Transport
When Wang Kun was signing a contract with Guo Xing, the factory office of Wangjiacun Pipe Factory was also holding a meeting. The meeting was chaired by Wang Laidong. There was only one topic: whether the Pipe Factory was on holiday. You should know that casting pipes can no longer be stacked on the open space in the factory.
"Why are there no one talking?" Wang Laidong had a gloomy face. If he could not get the order within three days, the casting pipe factory would have to temporarily stop production. This would be a very big blow to the Wangjiacun Pipe Factory, which had just been established for less than a year.
No one in the office speaks. You should know that except for the use of construction sites, the products of the casting pipe factory will only be used in urban construction. If the surrounding counties and cities do not have this demand, the products of the casting pipe factory will certainly not be sold.
At this embarrassing moment, the telephone number shared on the three desks suddenly rang out quickly. Wang Defei was sitting next to the desk, and he picked up the phone:
"Hey, it's Teacher Wang. Are you getting anything in Guangzhou?"
People in the casting pipe factory have no confidence in Wang Kun going to Guangzhou alone. You should know that the farthest sales range of the casting pipe factory products is in the city. Although some people have contacted the business in the provincial capital, the units in the provincial capital seem to look down on the village-run collective enterprises. What they believe is the things produced by state-owned enterprises, although the price will be a little more expensive.
"What? How many products are there in our factory? How many in Guangzhou are there?" When Wang Defei heard Wang Kun say this on the other end of the phone, he couldn't help but shout out loudly.
This sentence also made others in the office talk. It's great now. The casting factory not only does not stop work, but also needs to work three shifts.
"I'll answer the phone." Wang Laidong was also shocked by the news. He knew Wang Kun's family background and social relations. He would never have any relatives or friends in Guangzhou. He could bring such good news back this time, and he couldn't wait to be the first to know.
"Okay, okay, haha, okay, okay, okay, let's do it at home right away. You are there to sit in the formation, and we are handed over to us. Teacher Wang, I'm carrying that official seal well." Wang Laidong became happier here. When the phone hung up, his mouth couldn't close.
"Everyone heard that Teacher Wang contacted a big business in Guangzhou. The other party was Guangzhou Chengcheng. Comrade Wang Kun had signed a contract with the other party on behalf of our casting factory. As long as our quality is fine, the other party will need as much as possible!" Wang Laidong said with a smile, completely different from when the meeting was held just now.
"That's great. Now our factory's products are not worried about no sales."
"Yes, Director Dong, I think we should not discuss the issue of stopping production, but rather discuss increasing production and improving labor productivity."
"These issues need to be discussed, but we now have one of the most critical issues, transportation. The Guangzhou Urban Construction Bureau requires our products to be shipped to Guangzhou before payment will be paid. So Comrade Wang Kun said on the phone just now that the most important thing is to ship our products to Guangzhou and turn them into money! Do you know what the price the Guangzhou Urban Construction Bureau gave us?" Wang Laidong said.
"How many? There won't be two thousand per ton, right?"
"I think there are at least two thousand!"
"Two thousand one!"
"I tell you, three thousand! Three thousand per ton, this is the price to ship to Guangzhou. Everyone says that the most important thing is to ship the product out now?" Wang Laidong said.
The price of 3,000 per ton has amazement from others in the office. Even Wang Defei, who had just answered the phone, was stunned. The price in the factory had never thought about it before. Others had similar ideas to him. Wang Kun became a capable person in their eyes. Not only was he a good person to focus on production, but even if he was in contact with business, he was much better than others. If he had known it, he would have been the head of the sales department, so that the casting and pipe factory would be able to pay dividends last year.
In the past, the products of Wangjiacun Pipe Factory were only sold in surrounding counties and cities, and at most they were in the city. The amount required was not very large, so it was enough to transport it by car. However, Guangzhou requires a lot of quantity, as long as the products of the Pipe Factory were qualified, they would all need it. Then it seems that the cost of transporting by car seems to be high.
But it is not easy to use a train sling now. Although Santangpu has a train station, the problem of train sling is not very big, but Guangzhou is hundreds of kilometers away from Santang Town. You should know that the current train transportation is far less developed than later generations. Sometimes when you send a train sling to the south, it is very likely that it will not be necessary to go to the north in a few months. Moreover, freight trains on the road must give way to passenger transport. If you drag it around, the time cannot be guaranteed.
So Wang Kun discussed with Wang Laidong on the phone that this time, train transportation and car transportation will be carried out simultaneously. Train transportation is cheap and safe, but the time cannot be guaranteed. Car transportation is fast and convenient. The factory can send people to follow the train, and the price is much more expensive than train transportation.
However, this time, the Guangzhou Urban Construction Bureau has fully considered the transportation cost, and the other party is in a hurry to ask for goods, so the casting pipe factory finally adopted Wang Kun's proposal, railway and highway, and strive to sell all the products of the casting pipe factory in the shortest time, and then speed up production after getting the payment. You must know that there is not much money in the casting pipe factory's account now, which is one of the reasons why Wang Laidong wants to temporarily stop production.
A decision was made at the meeting soon, with Wang Donglai and Wang Defei responsible for the transportation of railway and highway goods respectively. Wang Laidong went to the railway station to contact the car wagon, while Wang Defei organized the transportation of cars. Wang Laidong asked that at least two cars would be required. You should know that one car can only carry up to ten tons of goods at most, and this is already overloaded.
There is only one Dongfeng car in Wangjia Village, which was bought by a demobilized soldier after he returned from the army. In addition, there are only a few tractors. However, this time the tractor was obviously useless, and a Dongfeng car was not enough. So the casting factory had to contact other villages around. Fortunately, the casting factory often needs to purchase and ship goods, and there is still some connection in this regard. Wang Defei soon contacted three cars.
Loading the car overnight and setting off overnight. There are fewer large trucks nowadays, and ordinary drivers will take an apprentice. The same is true for the three missing cars Wang Defei found. Moreover, these apprentices have been learning for more than a year. When the road conditions are good, they can also touch the steering wheel.
