My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 41 Mass Base is the Foundation

Weidong is a bit enviable.

But there are more people supporting it.

Because he settled the bill in cash for the first time at the Hetan Freight Yard.

The usual way to unload river sand and cement is to unload them from the ship with a loud noise, which is called slope unloading.

Pile the goods at the freight yard, find a transportation company, negotiate with them, and then transport them to a certain place. This is the starting point.

First down and then up is two orders.

But Weidong has his own car and is already familiar with several trucks.

The key is to start from moving oranges and get paid on a daily basis.

Later, I gave several drivers 60 yuan every day and put it directly in my pocket.

After the transportation, everyone got a little over 200 yuan, and the whole family will definitely have a happy New Year.

Moreover, other people got to know the information because they were playing cards and chatting in the teahouse.

When they heard that they were still transporting sand and gravel in this way, they all rushed over like crazy to join in.

Seventeen or eighteen new and old trucks and even tractors from the entire Second Transport Company came together to make the delivery.

Of course, the leader who was playing cards and putting up the note turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Anyway, Weidong will pay the transportation company a lot. He will be paid based on the number of baskets carried by each trip of the sand and gravel truck, and he will be paid when he finishes work in the evening.

As a result, it is rare to see cars waiting for ships to unload here. In years when shipping capacity is extremely scarce, a large number of trucks are waiting in line to unload.

That naturally means unloading the carriages directly from the ship, sending them back and then continuing to queue.

While efficiency is greatly improved, transportation costs are also saved a lot.

But when Weidong saw those porters who were still sweating profusely in the twelfth lunar month, with only a piece of rag on their shoulders, wearing ragged trousers and straw sandals, he found that many of them were familiar faces who had "carried goods" with him at the dock a few days ago.

Then calculate the income and expenditure and try to spread the profit to the manual handling link.

He didn't think about what would happen if he broke the price system that had been running for a long time. He just gave it to me whenever he wanted.

Who can’t celebrate the Spring Festival?

Especially when I saw some women and children from poor families quietly taking their backpacks to line up to carry goods, I would give all the profits from sand and gravel to them, and quietly subsidize them from the income from citrus fruits.

I gave my car to a retired old driver from a transportation company to make money, and I just watched the details from the side. In the end, I still had to ask the Dragon and the Phoenix to come and record the payment.

Dong Xueying, who had worked as a salesperson for a year, was very skilled and knew what to do.

It's funny to say that You Qili and his team had been shouting slogans of serving the people for more than a year and had achieved sales of hundreds of thousands, but Wei Dong still couldn't move her heart like this.

Rang Weidong said that he found children and women also coming to move river sand. If anyone else has such needs, they can come.

She immediately went to make arrangements overnight.

There are also many poor indigenous neighbors who own houses in the city. Because of the strict economic control, they have no channels to make money. On the contrary, they may not be able to make a living from the soil unless they work harder than farmers.

Early in the morning, he ran to the factory garbage station one kilometer away from the pier to pick up people.

Fengchu was originally in charge of accounting. Seeing that they were hanging out with the men, he laughed and scolded Weidong for smoking, and then he stumbled and followed his sister with the child in his arms.

She knew that many people in the city were suffering, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.

That garbage station is not a building, but a garbage dump shared by several nearby factories.

Riverside dock cities all have such cliffs several stories high. These factories with boilers clean their furnaces and dump large amounts of coal slag every morning, or clean up the production waste from the previous day.

A large number of women and children who were unable to go to work and had no energy to do heavy work, tied towels to cover their mouths and dug out unburned coal from the garbage dump as steep as a ski slope to take home to burn for heating and cooking.

If they came across cotton mills, paper mills, or printing factories dumping garbage, they would rush over with baskets on their backs to pick up the garbage!

If you are lucky, you can pick up some cotton yarn and waste paper to sell for money, but if you are hit by stones or iron blocks, you deserve it.

So you see the women and children holding up the backpacks with both hands and hiding their heads at the bottom, who are instantly covered by garbage and then crawl out to grab the garbage.

Dong Xueqing finally understood why her sister never let her help pick up coal and waste paper when she was a child.

The young woman, who was very familiar with the place, quickly gathered the women and children, raised her hand to gesture in the direction, and hurried to the freight terminal to carry river sand to earn cash. It didn't matter how far or how heavy the load was, she just had to repeatedly load it onto the truck.

With tears in her eyes, Dong Xueqing hurriedly stood by the riverside path and walked over.

Weidong saw the group of dusty women and children coming from afar, and he squeezed out from among the men he knew well to get the best and nearest unloading space, so that the cargo bed of his car could be directly parked on the barge.

Women and children can pass it by hand or use a winnowing basket to carry it with less effort.

If they are not allowed to carry the goods together with the professional laborers who are fat and strong, not only will their efficiency be affected, but they may easily be pushed into the river.

I pulled the old man aside to chat with him so that he wouldn't get impatient and wait.

Finally, seeing Feng Chu actually climbing over the side of the boat with the child in his arms to count, he reluctantly took the baby. That night, he even scolded you, saying, "Are you stupid from studying?" "I told you to count heads just for show. Do you really think you have to count every penny, every single one accurately? You're just giving people who work hard a reason to give them lucky money. You've made the child sick, and the cost of treatment is more than just this little bit of money."

Being caught by the English teacher, Weidong couldn't go to the teahouse to play cards. He had nowhere else to go that night, so he could only eat at the pier and then come back to watch TV.

I called my parents specifically and told them I would be back in two days, so I would just stay for two days.

Fengchu insisted on coming to watch TV. Wolong of course didn't say anything but quietly facilitated the situation. Maybe it was she who instigated it and pushed her daughter over as well.

The little kid was simply a prop, lying comfortably in Weidong's arms, staring at the flickering screen curiously.

As a result, Weidong didn't dare to say anything harsh, and he kept lowering his head and making funny noises.

Feng Chu just thought it was her brother-in-law's room, and wandered around with her hands behind her back without any hesitation. She couldn't control her hands even when she was scolded.

These old brick and tile houses in the city are all low and dim brick and wood structures. The concrete floor is uneven, and the kitchen, living room, and bedroom are all of arbitrary sizes. There is only a toilet for urination, but you have to go to the public toilet outside for defecation.

It's habitable, but probably not much different from a hundred years ago.

I asked Weidong about it and learned that you can't buy a house now. These houses are all old houses in the family that were given to you after you got a job.

The two sisters, whose father died early and whose mother passed away due to illness a few years ago, have a place to live only thanks to the policy of returning their houses.

So I have to go to Jiangzhou to buy a house, and it doesn’t matter if I just live here now.

Dong Xueqing flipped through the magazines and books on the bedside table, pulled down the TV antenna, touched the tape recorder, and even tried to eject the tape. Curious, she was immediately surprised: "You are studying Russian? I saw you have Russian books. I also studied Russian before and got the highest score on the test."

Wei Dong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she was Lao You's housekeeper. Maybe this girl had become his confidant in the plane business.

We have to keep it. This Fengchu might be an important helper in changing planes.

So she changed her partner in learning Russian. Dong Xueqing was surprised and asked, "Brother-in-law, why is your pronunciation exactly the same as mine?"

Wei Dong calculated in his mind that this girl was only two or three years younger than Old Lady Shi. They both graduated from the same middle school and were from the same school, so they were actually junior sisters.

Wolong was just like an old mother, dressed in bulky and old-fashioned clothes, wrapped tightly in layers. She had urged the two of them to go to the river to learn foreign languages ​​early in the morning, and she would take over and arrange for the women and children who were actively and enthusiastically carrying sand and stones.

Yesterday, more than a thousand yuan was distributed to seventy or eighty people, and today even more people came. Many laborers called their wives and children over to earn some money.

Rang Weidong still nodded and said it was no problem, and even led a few drivers to pretend to be cool: "We are all men, and we don't mess with women and children. Give them more during the New Year and other holidays, and everyone will be happier."

The drivers of the transportation company already have a high status, and now that their money is not being spent, they can also enjoy the moral nobleness of being philanthropic.

Definitely stand on the side of Rang Weidong.

In fact, after a private calculation, they knew that Rang Weidong must have used the profits from the citrus to subsidize the wharf. They emphasized to those around them that it was not such a good thing when they went to various villages to collect citrus before. This was the benefit that Xiao Rang had fought for everyone.

Anyway, the boss didn't remember that the Wanshang Trading Company had been sealed, and registered it under the name of the legendary Hongguang Metal Factory.

That big truck shows the unit's affiliation.

The bosses and gangs that were common at the docks were unable to speak. Not only was the reputation of this military factory difficult to deal with, but its mass base was also incredible.

The entire freight terminal was full of joy and bustle.

So it was a bit of a surprise when the tax officials showed up at the dock in uniform.

I feel that if some colorful flags are added to the decorations, the usually messy dock cargo yard will have an official atmosphere of a collective battle.

The problem may have occurred among several people wearing gray-blue uniforms with big hats, and there was also a person in a white uniform, which made them particularly eye-catching.

Perhaps most people at the docks had never dealt with tax officials and could not even tell who the uniforms belonged to.

But seeing this group of people clearly walking towards Rang Weidong, the entire dock seemed to surge around like a tide, as if the ocean of joy was sprinkled with peppercorns. There was no movement, but it affected the mood and taste.

Anyway, they all squeezed in.

Weidong's legs started shaking again. Damn, he didn't know if it was related to the trading company's affairs or Shi Linyan's mother.

Fortunately, the man in the white uniform this time was the one who would later become the deputy director. He looked familiar and knew that he was an old policeman who followed the rules, so Wei Dong was not so panicked.

More importantly, he knew all those tax officials, just one-sided acquaintances.

So I could quietly watch the other party walk up to me and say, "Comrade Weidong, we've received a report that you're suspected of tax evasion. Please come with us to the bureau to explain the matter."

In the 1980s, the tax department acted like a law enforcement agency, and was really ready to engage in fights, in the physical sense.

These are the more capable ones in the bureau!

It might be more difficult to let Weidong defeat the butcher who killed two people in a row.

First, be on guard against him resisting taxes violently.

But now Wei Dong didn't even need to say anything, as a group of drivers with dark faces were already crowded around him. The porters, porters and crossbowmen who had been doing manual labor for many years surrounded him tightly with strong chemical weapons. It was easy for hundreds of people to stare silently at the uniforms.

They only knew that if they arrested Weidong, today's work would be in vain.
