Chapter 405 Isn’t this inappropriate?
As soon as Zhao Min finished speaking, Li Ming responded with a relaxed smile: "You guys are experiencing such a bad time when it rains in Nanshan District. Actually, think about it, how good are our days in the vegetable greenhouse base?
We also have to face the troubles of rainy days.
However, this is life, there are always some small difficulties that we need to overcome on our own. After all, rainy days like this don’t happen every day, right? ”
Whether it is Nanshan District where Zhao Min works, or the vegetable greenhouse base where Li Ming works, it takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle one way.
After hearing this, Zhao Min also smiled and said frankly: "In fact, I admit that I chose the commuter car partly out of selfishness. That's because in winter, I have to leave home before dawn and go to work in the cold wind. That's really unpleasant..."
The winter in Northeast China is really freezing cold. When you go out in the morning, the cold wind blows on you like a knife.
Zhou Yong listened to their conversation, his eyes moving between the two of them.
"Sun Qing, what do you think?"
Seeing that he was named by Zhou Yong, Sun Qing pondered for a while and slowly said, "If conditions permit, I have no objection to forming a transport team and using commuter buses..."
The transport team can bring benefits to the villagers, and the commuter bus can shorten everyone's commuting time.
In Sun Qing's view, these are all good things, but the brigade does not have that much liquid funds on its books, so it is now faced with the problem of choosing between the two.
Others also expressed their ideas, and Zhou Yong summarized them in his notebook. Finally, he decided to get on the commuter bus first.
Providing everyone with a better working environment can not only increase workers' enthusiasm for work, but also benefit the long-term development of the factory.
Everyone unanimously agreed with Zhou Yong's decision, because everyone knew that even if a transport team was not formed this year, the Huaixi Village Brigade would have its own fleet next year.
After a while, Zhou Yong deliberately asked Li Ming to stay, as if he wanted to talk to him alone.
Seeing this, the others tactfully went about their own business and stopped disturbing their conversation.
Zhou Yong looked at Li Ming with a complicated look in his eyes: "Li Ming, are you a little upset about the decision I made just now?"
Li Ming was slightly stunned, then pursed his lips and admitted: "It is true. I have invested a lot of effort in setting up the transport team. But I also understand that as the village chief, you need to consider things from the overall situation..."
He had privately mentioned to Zhou Yong the matter of forming a transport team before, but because there were no drivers and the team was short of money, the matter had been delayed until today.
Now that the brigade has hundreds of thousands of cash in its account, Li Ming was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to Zhou Yong about forming a transport team, but things did not go as he wished.
The reason why Li Ming wanted to form a transport team was mainly because of his work problems.
Now it has collapsed, and the Huaixi Village vegetable greenhouse base has also terminated its cooperative relationship with the provincial vegetable cooperative.
However, vegetable vendors from the province would come to Huaixi Village to wholesale vegetables. If there were few vegetables coming in or out, they could take them back themselves. But if there were large quantities of vegetables to be wholesaled, they would need to deliver the vegetables to the door.
Horse-drawn carriages have low efficiency in transportation and can’t carry much vegetables. The cost of increasing the size of the carriages is too high. If you have your own transport team, all these problems can be solved.
Zhou Yong nodded, indicating that he understood Li Ming's idea: "I know this decision is a little difficult for you to accept, but I am also considering the long-term development of the village.
Currently, our business in Nanshan District is growing, with more than 1,500 people working there. They all work very hard, and we must provide them with a better working environment and welfare benefits..."
After listening to Zhou Yong's explanation, Li Ming's dissatisfaction gradually dissipated. He knew very well that Zhou Yong was a responsible and accountable leader, and every decision he made was for the benefit of the village.
So, Li Ming took a deep breath and said to Zhou Yong: "I understand your decision and will fully support your work. I believe that as long as we work together, Huaixi Village will be able to achieve greater success..."
After hearing what Li Ming said, Zhou Yong couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Li, don't worry, as long as the final payment for the project arrives, I will immediately form a transportation team for you..."
With Zhou Yong's promise, Li Ming's depressed mood disappeared.
"You said that? I'll find someone to teach me how to drive."
Zhou Yong nodded, and Li Ming smiled and turned around to do his own work.
At the end of May, Huaixi Village welcomed six brand-new commuter buses that were officially put into operation. Since then, workers commuting between Nanshan and the old village have finally bid farewell to the long and arduous hiking or cycling time and enjoyed a more convenient and comfortable travel experience.
Not only that, it also shortened everyone's working hours. The villagers were full of praise for the brigade's decision.
Considering that the workers from Nanshan and Laocun all chose to have lunch in the canteen at noon, Zhou Yong made a new decision after careful consideration.
He decided to leave two vehicles behind after the commuter bus took the workers to work, specifically responsible for transportation between the village and the township.
The remaining four vehicles are responsible for transportation from the township to the county seat.
This adjustment not only optimizes the efficiency of vehicle use, but also better meets the villagers' daily travel needs.
At the same time, it can also increase income for the brigade. Otherwise, if the vehicles are used to send workers to work, they will just sit there idle, what a waste!
A few days after the vehicles started running from the township to the county, the leaders of the bus station came to find Lao Lu.
There was no other choice, so Old Lu came to Huaixi Village in person, hoping that Zhou Yong would stop operating buses from the township to the county.
"Brother Lu, you know that our village spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy six cars. We can't just leave them idle after delivering them to the workers, right? Don't I have to find a way to recover the cost of the cars? Even this won't work..."
Old Lu looked at Zhou Yong who was making unreasonable arguments, and his smile was full of helplessness.
"I understand your point of view, but the key is that the passenger station won't let you operate? What can I do?"
Not allowed to operate?
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "The road doesn't belong to the bus station. What right do they have to manage such things? Or is it that law stipulates that only passenger vehicles can run on the road..."
The current laws on passenger transport are not perfect, and Zhou Yong took advantage of this loophole and sent his car on the road unscrupulously.
Old Lu frowned slightly: "Brother Zhou, it will be difficult for me to explain to the superiors if you behave like this."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and said, "Brother Lu, this matter is easy to solve. If the higher-ups come to you, just push the blame onto Huaixi Village..."
"This? Isn't this inappropriate?"
There is nothing inappropriate. As long as the bus station cannot provide any relevant treaties or regulations to support their position, Huaixi Village has no reason or obligation to withdraw the vehicles.
Zhou Yong's position stems from his deep understanding of laws and rules, as well as his protection of his own rights and interests.
Old Lu was enlightened after listening to Zhou Yong's words: "It can actually be operated this way. Brother, I have been enlightened..."
Zhou Yong smiled and nodded: "Brother Lu, I have no choice. I have to make plans for thousands of villagers, so you have to help me!"
