This is a story that happened in Dongping County a few years ago. There was a fat man in the countryside who was only in his 20s and weighed more than 280 catties. This fat man was rough and his head was not very smart, but he wanted to go to the city to work all day long.
His family persuaded him, "For a chubby guy like you, people still think you take up a seat in the car. Who wants to work part-time?" The fat man pursed his mouth and said, "I don't believe that the city will starve to death." After saying that, he ignored the objections of his family, and as soon as he packed his backpack, he entered the city.
Sure enough, as soon as the fat man stopped at the labor market, a big fat black man of his size came up and greeted him enthusiastically: "Buddy, are you looking for a job?"
Fatty nodded and said, "Yes, do you have anything to do?" Black Fatty pulled Fatty aside and said in a low voice, "I have a job suitable for you!" When Fatty heard that, he jumped up in joy: "That's great, what job?"
Fatty Hei smiled and said, "Come with me, you'll know when you see our Manager Wu." Fatty didn't say a word, followed Fatty Hei to a factory, and met Manager Wu in an office with "global procurement" hanging on the door.
Manager Wu is a middle-aged man in his 40s. When he saw the fat man, his eyes narrowed into slits. He looked at it for a while and asked, "How much is your weight?"
"More than 280 catties."
"Okay, I need someone like you here." Manager Wu smiled lightly and said, "I'm not tired from work, escort the car to transport coal!"
The fat man did not understand: "Escort the car? Why should the escort be fat? Isn't it more convenient to get on and off the car if you are thin?"
Manager Wu smiled and said, "There are a lot of people in our area, and we often pick up cars and snatch coal, so we need to find a stronger escort to keep it safe."
The fat man took a breath of cold air: "Do you dare to fight for this job?"
Manager Wu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing! You don't have to ask any more questions. You can practice with the car first. If you are willing to do it, come to me again."
"Okay, I'll familiarize myself with the situation first!" Fatty had just arrived and was eager to find a place to live, so he readily agreed.
Fatty and Black Fatty ran a car and found that the job of escorting the car was simple: climb on the big truck, load the coal in the coal mine, escort it to the factory to unload, and run back and forth more than a dozen times a day. Fatty was worried that someone would grab coal on the road, so he secretly hid a wooden stick, but when pedestrians saw the "Coal Blackie" car on the road, it was too late to dodge, so there was no way to grab coal?
Fatty couldn't help himself, and immediately found Manager Wu and said, "I like this job, I decided to stay and do it!"
Manager Wu smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, since you are willing to do it, I can't hide some secrets from you." Then he opened up like this…
It turned out that this was a state-owned enterprise in a county that had not yet been restructured. It was negligent in management, and it had become a practice to "eat" whatever it was. The person in charge of coal procurement came up with a trick to "eat coal": on the grounds that someone was "picking up coal" on the road, finding someone to escort the car, so that a truck of coal can overflow one person's weight out of thin air and be collected into his pocket. The coal consumption of this factory is huge, although a truck of coal only "eats" the weight of one person, it accumulates an astronomical amount in one year.
At first, they still "ate" secretly, but later, they became more and more courageous and openly picked the fat man to escort the car. After Manager Wu climbed the procurement "throne" at the beginning of the year, he finally found a black fat man weighing more than 270 catties, but who knew that after half a year, the black fat man had worsened due to diabetes and was in a hurry to go home for treatment, so he had to promise to find an equally fat person to replace him. Therefore, there was a scene of the black fat man looking for the fat man in the labor market.
Manager Wu said with satisfaction, "Let me tell you, escorting the car is also a technical job. You, you need to know when to cross the floor with the car and when to come down..." Before Manager Wu could finish his words, Fatty patted his chest happily and said, "Manager Wu, don't worry, I know how to do this. My dad is a vegetable seller, and he often does this when purchasing vegetables.
Manager Wu was relieved, patted the fat man's shoulder happily, and said, "Okay, you will officially start work tomorrow. Do it well for me, and I will give you a 3% commission at the end of the year. However, don't shout about this, there are many people who dare not speak out!"
Fatty nodded as if he was messing with garlic: "I know, I know, don't worry, don't worry."
Manager Wu immediately settled Fatty down, and the next day, Fatty replaced Black Fatty and officially started his job.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and the factory was closed that day. Fatty was lying in the dormitory playing with his mobile phone. Suddenly, Manager Wu broke into the door and threw a large stack of floor weights on the table.
Fatty Second King Kong couldn't figure it out and stuttered, "What... What's wrong?"
Manager Wu said angrily, "What's the matter? The coal mine called just now and said that our factory has given hundreds of thousands of less coal money in the past six months, and asked us to make up for it! How did you gain weight?"
Fatty frowned and said with trepidation, "My dad is a vegetable seller. Every time he goes to the field to buy vegetables, he always secretly hides the stones in a good basket to weigh the tare weight. When he goes to the field to load vegetables, he secretly throws stones out. My dad said that the net weight of vegetables is obtained by reducing the tare weight according to the gross weight, so that every time you enter the vegetables, you can get some more catties… I think this person is equivalent to a stone. When an empty car passes the weighbridge, people 'hide 'into the car, and when coal passes the weighbridge, people'throw' it out.'
When Manager Wu heard this, his head buzzed, and he almost fainted with anger: "Okay, you idiot, it's the opposite! It's all the opposite! Your father is buying goods, the bigger the tare weight, the smaller the net weight. I'm selling goods, you made the tare weight bigger, didn't you hurt me?"
The fat man was confused for a while and asked, "Selling goods? Isn't your office number clearly written as 'Global Procurement'?"
"It's global procurement, right? But isn't what we're doing the same as mining the coal back and selling it to the factory?" Manager Wu was so angry that he almost lost his breath.
Fatty scratched his scalp and thought for a long time, then suddenly patted his thigh and suddenly realized: "Oops, I'm being smart and doing it the wrong way..." He said to Manager Wu bitterly, "I... I'll work hard next year to make up for the loss!"
Manager Wu stomped his feet and roared, "Make up for your head! The factory will be restructured next year, and there will be no such opportunity again! Damn fat man, but you have been badly hurt by you. You are more than ten catties heavier than the fat man before, and the rebates you ate in the first half of the year are not enough to spit out in the second half!"
