60s: I have a store

Chapter 263 Yellow River Heavy Truck

Zhou Dazhong brought Zhou Dafu to the personnel department and said, "Secretary Wu, this is a new employee. Please help with the onboarding process."

Then he handed over the letter of introduction and the employment notice.

After Secretary Wu received the letter of introduction and the employment notice, he realized that the person was a driver and immediately took him seriously.

Although the man in front of him was young, he could become a truck driver in the future, and he might need his help. He immediately said enthusiastically, "Hello, please fill in your name here."

Zhou Dafu wrote his name carefully, stroke by stroke. Even when he was in school, he didn't write so carefully.

"Secretary Wu, I have filled it out. Is there anything else you want to fill out?"

"Okay, you sit aside and wait, I'll take it to the leader for signature." Secretary Wu explained.

Seeing that they still had to wait, Zhou Dazhong said, "Zhou Dafu, I'll go to work first."

"Go ahead!" Chow Tai Fook replied.

Anyway, I can handle it by myself now. If it really doesn’t work, I can ask someone for help. That’s no problem.

Drivers are different from other employees. Other employees have eight levels, but drivers only have five levels. To be more precise, there should be six levels, and each level has its own requirements.

First you start as an apprentice, then you get a driver's license. Although you are considered a regular driver, you cannot be considered a level 5 driver. You have to wait until the one-year novice period is over before you can be considered a formal level 5 driver and get a monthly salary of 40 yuan.

There are also some other employees at the highest level who can earn around 90 or 100 yuan a month, while the highest level driver only earns more than 80 yuan a month, a difference of more than ten yuan.

In fact, drivers also receive additional subsidies. If they drive a truck to transport goods for long distances, they can get a subsidy of one dollar a day. If they drive short distances, they can get a subsidy of 60 cents a day.

Therefore, in terms of salary, the salary of a first-level driver is not lower than that of an eighth-level worker, but the benefits and treatment of the driver are incomparable to those of an eighth-level worker.

Soon, the head of the personnel department also came out. If it was someone else who joined the company, the head of the personnel department might not come out, but Chow Tai Fook was introduced by Zhou Yimin, so it would be right to get closer to him.

The head of the personnel department said: "You are Zhou Dafu, young man, you have a bright future!"

"That place still needs your help, Section Chief!" Zhou Dafu said sensibly.

Then he took out the Daqianmen cigarettes he had prepared in advance and helped light one, and placed the rest on the table naturally, as if they had been forgotten.

The head of the personnel department was also very satisfied to see that Chow Tai Fook was so sensible.

He wanted to get closer to Zhou Yimin, but that did not include Chow Tai Fook, or the current Chow Tai Fook, after all, he had not yet become a formal driver.

"Xiao Wu, take Comrade Zhou Dafu to pick up his induction supplies." said the head of the personnel section.

Secretary Wu said, "Okay, Chief."

The head of the personnel department has other things to do and of course he won't accompany you throughout the whole process. If it were Zhou Yimin, he would have received this treatment.

Secretary Wu brought Chow Tai Fook to collect supplies, but there was not much in it, basically just work clothes, water cups, kettles, towels, and a military coat, which was a treatment only for drivers.

You have to know that military coats are also in high demand. Without certain connections, you can't get them. Otherwise, even if the steel plant is as large as this, it may not be able to allocate military coats.

Chow Tai Fook didn't expect that he would receive so many things just after starting work. He didn't know how long it had been since he had new clothes. There was also a military coat. He didn't know how impressive it would be when he wore it out!

After receiving the items, Wu took Zhou Dafu to the transportation department. Captain Li was there. Wu stepped forward and said, "Captain Li, this is the new employee, Zhou Dafu."

"it is good."

Li Feng looked at Chow Tai Fook. It turned out that this was the person Zhou Yimin greeted and asked to learn driving from him.

However, he still needs to observe what kind of person Zhou Dafu is. He doesn't want to have an ungrateful apprentice, even if Zhou Yimin asks him to do so.

You have to know that the relationship between master and apprentice is not as indifferent as it was in later generations. Now, it is said that once a teacher, a father for life. Although he has a son, he does not have to worry about no one to take care of him when he is old. You have to know that now, if the apprentice gets into trouble, the master cannot escape the responsibility.

"Captain Li, I'll leave first." said Secretary Wu.

Li Feng said: "It's troublesome."

Zhou Dafu immediately handed over a cigarette, lit it sensibly, and then said, "Master Li, I wonder what I should do now?"

I have no idea what a driver is supposed to do, so I can only ask.

"If you want, just follow my sports car and learn how to repair the vehicle, otherwise you can't become a driver." Li Feng said.

Learning to drive is not difficult, but learning to repair a car is more difficult, because the vehicle will have more or less some faults when driving. It is common for the car to break down in the wilderness and then stop to repair it. A car can run for many years after being repaired.

Moreover, the technology and safety configuration of vehicles were much more backward than they are today. Accidents could occur if one was not careful, making it a high-risk occupation.

Zhou Dafu said quickly: "Then I'll trouble Master Li."

"When you officially become a driver, you will have a truck of your own, but before that, just follow me," said Li Feng.

Then, he brought Chow Tai Fook to his truck, which was a new Huanghe brand heavy truck.

You should know that the ordinary Jiefang truck has a load capacity of only four tons, but the Yellow River truck has doubled its load capacity to eight tons.

The Huanghe brand car was produced in 1960, which is this year. The car was just put into production not long ago. Only their steel plant got two cars, and other plants were not eligible!

Two years ago, all kinds of slogans were flying everywhere, affecting all walks of life, and the automotive industry was no exception. At that time, car manufacturers naturally did not want to lag behind and wanted to make bigger and better trucks to keep up with the world.

Of course, Li Feng would not let Chow Tai Fook immediately get his hands on this big truck.

When learning, start with the older model trucks.

If Zhou Yimin were present, he would definitely be speechless about this car.

This car has a bad reputation and serious quality problems.

It is said that in order to rush the production, some tooling and drawings were not strictly verified, and some parts were not processed in a standardized manner, resulting in the poor quality of the car, which had to be reworked and adjusted for nearly a month.

"From a distance it looks like a flower, but up close it looks like a face of scars." This is how many people describe and comment on this 8-ton truck.

Some even ridiculed: "The horn of the Yellow River Car doesn't sound when it should, but the parts that shouldn't sound make noise."
