Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

After all, He Yuzhu in later generations grew up in a big factory, and after he came out, he had to face those old employees of the big factory.

We all know more or less that in the past, during the planned economy era, it was not easy for large factories to purchase.

In addition, although their factory is now a military organization directly under the General Logistics Department, in order to maintain confidentiality, they are not allowed to wear military uniforms or even cadre uniforms.

This means that when making normal purchases, we can only use the name of the cold rolling mill, which has now been renamed the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

Therefore, when He Yuzhu was transferred to the logistics department to work as a purchaser, he was already prepared to "beg for help from everyone".

However, when He Yuzhu really entered the purchasing department and started purchasing, he found that he had overthought everything.

With the current procurement, He Yuzhu, who is in the procurement department, doesn’t have to worry about the labor insurance and welfare of the factory employees at all, as they are allocated directly by their superiors.

He Yuzhu and others don’t have to worry about private welfare benefits.

Because the cold rolled products will be brought here.

As a result, He Yuzhu and his team can now only purchase some "official" materials.

But this thing is kept confidential.

However, whenever these buyers called the factories that produced the materials and said they were from the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Beijing, the other party would always ask whether they were from the Third Steel Rolling Mill or the small hot rolling mill within the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

As long as He Yuzhu and others said that the products were hot-rolled in the factory, the other party would basically not say anything and would directly report the time and quantity, and then load and ship the products.

There is no such scenario as the buyers from other big factories who have to beg and plead, only to be told in the end, "This batch is not in the plan. Please report it and wait for the next approval."

At the beginning, He Yuzhu was not used to it. Every time he made a call, he hesitated whether to just say he was from the Third Steel Rolling Plant for the sake of confidentiality.

But later, He Yuzhu also came to terms with it.

Everyone knows this tacitly, so what's the point of him keeping it a secret?

It’s better to follow the crowd and avoid being excluded.

Gradually, as He Yuzhu "went with the flow", the other three people in the purchasing department became more and more "enthusiastic" about him.

They even began to take the initiative to bring him into contact with some "gray areas".

However, it is said to be "outsourcing" in the "gray area".

However, it is not like the "external profit" such as "rebates", "commissions", "mysterious shopping cards" and so on that big factories purchase from in later generations.

In the eyes of He Yuzhu, who has experienced the baptism of "outside fishing" in later generations, the current "outside fishing" can be said to be more of a personal relationship.

He Yuzhu and his colleagues in the factory sometimes have "missions" to perform.

However, there are only so many military factories, or research institutes, and He Yuzhu's factory is just a "hot rolling" factory with limited tasks.

At other times, He Yuzhu's factory took over some daily production from cold rolling, or the "hot rolling" part of cold rolling, as a disguise.

But this involves the number of tasks in the specific workshop of the cold rolling mill.

Although, now it is a "plan", the factory will produce as much as the superiors arrange.

Profits and losses are all managed by the higher-ups and have nothing to do with the factories below.

However, the specific number of tasks in the workshop involves the welfare of the workers in the workshop, as well as their positions and levels.

As for He Yuzhu's hot rolling mill, regardless of his nickname, there are about 300 workers and technicians.

Moreover, even if these 300 people are ordinary workers, they are professional workers who have been trained by the "Iron and Steel Industry College".

Not to mention the rest, they are either the big hands poached by Master Sun from the Northeast, or the master chefs transferred from the General Logistics Department.

There are also some talented people that He Yuzhu found for Master Sun when he was "undercover" at the school two years ago.

With this combination, whichever workshop you work for on the cold rolling side will rank first.

Naturally, the welfare of this workshop will also increase.

Let’s not talk about benefits or anything like that.

Even just the title of "No. 1" is enough for workshop directors and others to fight for.

Thus.

He Yuzhu and his colleagues, who were in charge of purchasing with the nature of "logistics management" and workshop directors with the nature of "specific task assignment", became the objects that the workshop director of the cold rolling mill needed to curry favor with.

It's okay. It's common to invite someone to dinner or give them a pack of cigarettes.

This is actually the reason why the benefits from the cold rolling mill are also provided to He Yuzhu's people.

After all, the leaders of the Third Steel Rolling Mill also need to "progress", don't they?

He Yuzhu had no idea about this at all.

Normally, if you treat me, I will go to eat.

You give it to me and I'll take it and smoke it.

Anyway, he has a section chief above him, so what is there to be afraid of?

Besides, Master Sun also knew about this, but he didn’t say anything. As the saying goes, “When the water is too clear, there will be no fish.”

Just don’t delay the tasks assigned by your superiors.

Gradually, a month passed.

It’s true that He Yuzhu can’t say that he has thrived in purchasing and the workshop, but at least no one treats him as an outsider anymore.

It was another time to deliver documents to the agency, and it was also the job of the young man He Yuzhu.

But this time, the section chief frowned when he saw He Yuzhu pushing the bicycle.

"Zhu Zi, can't you learn to drive? It's not like our purchasing department doesn't have a car. You ride a bicycle every time you go back to deliver documents to the office. If outsiders see you, they might think we're bullying the newcomers."

"I..."

He Yuzhu was about to say that he could, but then he realized that in this era, he didn't know how to do it yet, so he just said something casually.

“I came back and started learning.”

"Well, that's good enough, young man, learn more, there's nothing wrong with that."

The section chief smiled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder.

"Go ahead, ride slowly on the road, and when you're done, just go straight home."

"Well, I'm leaving now, Chief."

He Yuzhu didn't care either.

This is the hidden benefit of their department.

No matter it is delivered in the morning or in the afternoon, as long as it is delivered, it is one day.

Sometimes, they would even delay sending non-urgent documents until the next morning.

Not just for rest.

It is also to be able to have a free "treat meal" in the office cafeteria.

Originally, He Yuzhu told Master Sun that he wanted to learn how to drive. With Master Sun's strong support, He Yuzhu thought that he could learn how to drive with the skills of the "Wuling Car God" that he had practiced every morning in the vegetable market in his later life.

Nowadays, if you want to find a bright future, I wouldn’t say it takes three days, but five days should be considered a “gift”.

But when He Yuzhu learned to drive, he realized that his idea was totally wrong.

Nowadays, "learning to drive" not only means learning to drive, but also learning to repair the car.

In later generations, when you take a driver’s license test, the written test only asks you questions about road traffic.

But the written test now is a real written test.

The questions asked are all about vehicle maintenance.

Just these issues.

All in all, He Yuzhu worked in the maintenance class of the Transportation Department for a month.

Every day when I go to work, I go to purchasing to talk to the section chief, and then run to the maintenance team.

At the beginning, I worked as a laborer for the masters, handing them a wrench or tightening a screw.

In the end, He Yuzhu still didn't know how to repair it.

But at least, there will be no problem with the written test.

Next, you can learn to drive seriously.

Driving? He Yuzhu didn’t think it was difficult.

It’s just like when He Yuzhu first learned to drive in a driving school in later generations. The instructor taught him what the clutch, brake and accelerator are.

After you know this, get in the car, start the engine, put it in first gear, idle, and drive away.

Drive forward, drive backward, drive sideways.

You can drive however you want. It's only in first gear, so even if you crash, it won't hurt much.

Besides, there is a coach next to you, so just drive as hard as you can.

When you become proficient in it, you can shift to second gear, third gear, and finally fifth gear and get on the highway.

After this set, you are almost there.

But now, it's completely different.

Originally, He Yuzhu thought that the place where he would drive in the future would be the Liao C, which is known as "Plane in the sky and Liao C underground".

Plus the "Wuling" BUFF blessing.

He's been driving wild enough.

But unexpectedly, the driver who taught him how to drive was even more wild.

At this time, my country's automobile industry has not yet developed, and large trucks are all imported or "captured".

That master actually complained that He Yuzhu was too slow to start his truck in third gear.

There is no way. Don't forget that He Yuzhu is now learning to drive in the transportation department of the hot rolling mill directly under the General Logistics Department.

As for the master who taught He Yuzhu how to drive, formally speaking, he could have the word "car" on his collar badge on his military uniform.

Besides, that’s nothing.

Have you ever seen someone who has to train his arm strength to learn how to drive?

Every day, you have to hold the iron disc flat in both hands and twist it back and forth.

There were even a few bricks hanging under the disc.

To be honest, when He Yuzhu was practicing shooting in the past few years, he never practiced hanging bricks.

I didn't expect that I would be able to learn how to drive.

But there is no other solution.

It’s because the steering wheels on today’s cars are basically not power-assisted.

When it turns, it's really heavy.

If you don't have enough strength, you will sweat even if you want to turn.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu is a martial artist and also a cook.

The strength of the two arms is already quite strong.

After practicing for a few days, his master nodded in approval.

He Yuzhu finally got a "driver's license".

However, as the driver who taught He Yuzhui said, "Driving is a job that requires a lot of skill. Even though you can drive now, you still need to practice," He Yuzhui was arranged to intern in the Transportation Department.

This is just great.

Originally it was the BUFF blessing of "Liao C" and "Wuling", and now there is an additional "Auto Soldier" BUFF.

He Yuzhu drives so wildly.

What is this "I would rather die of poverty than pull a roll, and I would rather die of hunger than pull a pipe"?

What is "safe load" and what is not "safe load".

As long as you dare to pretend, He Yuzhu will dare to open it.

Of course, this only refers to transporting it from one workshop to another in the factory.

As for outside the factory.

Sorry, for the sake of the performance of the masters in the transportation department, He Yuzhu will not drive the truck at all.

It’s definitely not that He Yuzhu doesn’t dare.

Absolutely not.
