736 It's Good If You Don't
For parents, children always grow up suddenly in an instant, as if they were still happy yesterday, but today they have grown up. Before a lot of parenting plans have been implemented, the children can't wait to leave their parents' protection and fly freely.
Perhaps this is the reason why the children are separated by generations. They have no experience when raising children, and there are inevitably some mistakes in education. As a result, their children become more and more disliked as they grow up, so they make up for their regrets with their grandchildren.
Li Mu could understand Will's mood, but he could not satisfy Will's wish. Little Will is still young and is not as old as an education, so it doesn't matter if he gives Will to Will. When Will is older, Li Mu still needs to educate himself. Although Li Mu is sure Will will also educate Xiao Will carefully, it is better to raise his children after all. Li Mu does not want to miss the growth of his children.
It doesn't matter, Will still has second life, so he is always short of opportunities.
Just like Will was worried, the Far East Company's unstoppable power in Luzon eventually attracted the disgust of the military. In November, a batch of army weapons delivered to the Ministry of War was rejected by the Ministry of War. This is the first case since the establishment of the Ministry of War.
Kenneth Trollop, deputy general manager of Junma Weapons Company, who was responsible for connecting with Washington, rushed to Washington as soon as possible, while Zhang Leye came to Governor's Island and explained to Li Mu personally.
"This time we delivered 1,500 ammunition-type rifles to the Ministry of War. According to convention, each rifle is equipped with 100 bullets. The problem lies in the bullets. The reason for the Ministry of War is that the bullets do not meet the standards and fire occurs. Some bullets cannot be fired normally. Kenny has already gone to Washington. The specific situation has to wait for Kenny's investigation report. However, it is certain that our bullets are absolutely fine. Whether it is production or storage, they are strictly operated in accordance with the regulations. If there is any problem, it can only be the War Department's own problem." Zhang Leye was not sure what was going on, but he was still confident in the workers under his command.
Since its establishment, Junma Weapons Company has been able to defeat Chuntian, Colt and Winchester, the only arms dealer in the United States, in addition to advanced technology, it also relies on reliable quality. From the very beginning, Li Mu has strictly required quality. Unqualified weapons, Junma Weapons Company would rather destroy them than let them flow into the market. Until now, "quality is life" is still the core concept of Junma Weapons Company.
In the 21st century, anyone knew the importance of industrial product quality, but in the 19th century, to be honest, only Junma Weapons Company would attach so much importance to product quality.
There is no way. When the material is not abundant enough, the first thing to solve is the problem of "whether there is" is that Junma Weapons Company has not yet appeared, including Springfield and Colt, they are all working hard to solve the problem of "whether there is" and basically, as long as weapons are produced, they will always have no worries about sales. Even if the War Department does not have those defective products, they can be digested in minutes in the US market under the background of the "Westward Movement".
Only after the material is extremely abundant will we begin to pay attention to the issue of "good or not". In the era when the stomach is not full, it is impossible to pay attention to eating fine and fine food. The United States is not a beacon country of the future. Although there are large enterprises like Junma Group and Standard Oil, in fact, the United States' economic strength is not strong enough, and the market's materials are still not rich enough. If Li Mu is willing, Li Mu can now relax the quality appropriately and create more products to obtain more profits. However, Li Mu will not do this. It may take a hundred years to establish a brand, and it will be enough to destroy a brand for a year.
"Under normal circumstances, how likely is the bullet to fire?" Li Mu could draw a structural diagram of the pistol, but when it comes to probability issues, Li Mu did not have specific data. Anyway, the weapons that Li Mu had used in so many years have never had fire.
This is understandable. After all, Li Mu is the boss of Junma Weapons Company. Whether it is for Li Mu himself or Li Mu's bodyguards, the bullets provided by Junma Weapons Company are carefully selected, and no one will tamper with this issue.
"It's very small. One out of 10,000 or 100,000 rounds may be one case. Most of them are caused by improper operation. If the bullet expires, it may also cause this problem. However, the bullets we supply to the War Department are all within the shelf life." Zhang Leye didn't know how likely the bullets would go fire. Junma Weapons Company has not studied this problem, and no one would study this if he was full.
Speaking of shelf life, it may be more suitable for food. Li Mu really doesn't have this concept about the shelf life of bullets.
After listening to Zhang Leye's explanation, Li Mu realized that bullets really have a shelf life.
Junma Weapons Company has not been established for a long time, only less than ten years. However, after Junma Weapons Company took over Chuntian and Colt, according to the information of Chuntian and Colt, if the storage method is correct, the shelf life of the bullet is about 30 years in a dry and unventilated environment. If it is stored in open air, it can only be shelf life for ten years at most. If it is unboxing and dispatching troops, the shelf life of the bullet is only about one year.
The bullets supplied by Junma Weapons Company are all produced recently, and the longest time is no more than one year. So, as Zhang Leye said, if there is a problem, the problem can only be in the War Department.
"Mr. Minister and I have been on the phone, and he doesn't know about this matter. As long as the problem is not on our side, it doesn't matter. Let's wait for Kenny's investigation results." Li Mu now has insufficient information and cannot formulate a response plan.
Thanks to Junma Telecom's efforts, the telephone line between New York and Washington has been laid. Although due to technical problems, there are still insufficient lines for calls at the same time, it is a world of difference compared to before, only by telegram contact. Of course, the phone number of his own boss must be guaranteed. Therefore, Li Mu and Sherman have already passed the phone immediately. Sherman did not know the specific situation, but promised that Li Mu would investigate.
This is understandable. Sherman is the Minister of War and cannot do everything himself. Recently, he has to prepare for a war against the Spaniards. The navy and the army are expanding at the same time. Funding, personnel, equipment, etc. Sherman is already busy. If it weren't for Li Mu's phone call, Sherman wouldn't know that this was happening.
I don’t know, but if I know, I must pay attention. Not to mention the friendship between Sherman and Li Mu, just because Sherman has to work in Junma Group after resigning, Sherman must keep a good relationship first, otherwise the future will not be accurate. Even if Sherman joins Junma Group, his life will probably not be very comfortable.
"It must be someone who is pouring dirty water on us. A few days ago, Ryan reminded me to be careful and said that someone was targeting us. I thought Ryan was referring to the factory, but I didn't expect there was a problem here." Although there is no evidence yet, Zhang Leye insisted that the problem lies with the War Department.
Ryan is Ryan Matthew, former president of the Springfield Rifle Association and currently mayor of Springfield.
Springfield is the manufacturing center and military industrial center of the United States. The formerly supported the Springfield Arsenal. After Junma Weapons merged with Springfield, Junma Weapons has become the leading company in Springfield. Therefore, Ryan Matthew and Zhang Leye have a good relationship. If Junma Weapons and the War Department have a conflict, Ryan Matthew will definitely stand on the standpoint of Junma Weapons.
There is no doubt about this. This is the case in the United States. Although the Department of War is a real power department, it does not control the Springfield Municipal Government. After all, the Horse Weapons Company pays a lot of taxes to the Springfield Municipal Government every year. Ryan Matthew is very clear about this and will never make mistakes.
"Did Ryan say who it is?" Li Mu and Ryan Matthew are also in a relationship. At that time, Ryan Matthew won the support of Li Mu and included all employees of the Horse Weapons Company in the Springfield Rifle Association. Then, Ryan Matthew's successful campaign was achieved.
Ryan Matthew was also a soldier and participated in the Civil War. He had a lot of relationships with the military, so Ryan Matthew might know something that Li Mu didn't know, after all, it was cats, cats, dogs, and dogs.
"No, he just heard some rumors. You know, there are quite a few people who want to trouble us during this period." It seems that Ryan Matthew knows limited news, which is normal. Finding trouble with Junma Weapons Company is equivalent to asking for trouble with Junma Group. With the current size of Junma Group, if the news leaks, it is almost the same as seeking death.
No matter who it is!
"There are many people who want to cause trouble for us-" Li Mu laughed silently. It is not good to have too many enemies these days. I don't know who did it when I was shot. However, this also shows that Junma Group is really in the limelight this time. It's mediocre. "You go back to Springfield immediately, do whatever you should do. Don't be confused by this matter. Take this opportunity to focus on quality issues, strengthen technical training for front-line workers, and review raw materials. First of all, we must make sure that the problem is not here."
Li Mu had to calm Zhang Leye first. In any case, normal production must continue. And we can take advantage of this opportunity to carry out a rectification within the company. Li Mu had previously received a lot of reports about Junma Weapons Company, from management model to employee structure, etc. Although Junma Weapons Company has almost achieved the ultimate under the current conditions, according to Li Mu's requirements, there is still room for improvement.
"Okay, I'll go back to Springfield tonight." Zhang Leye breathed a sigh of relief. He was under a lot of pressure these two days.
After several adjustments to the management of Junma Group, Zhang Leye is almost the only remaining senior Chinese leader. Zhang Leye has always been the general manager of Junma Weapons Company. In the previous several job adjustments, Zhang Leye has never left Junma Weapons Company, which has disappointed many people.
Li Mu has always emphasized that the core industry of Junma Group is Junma Weapons Company. Perhaps in terms of profit, Junma Weapons Company is not the most profitable company in Junma Group, and cannot even rank the top three. However, if we talk about the importance, there is no doubt that Junma Weapons Company is above all other subsidiaries, and even Junma Automobile Company, which has the highest profit margin, will be at a disadvantage.
In fact, if you count carefully, it is not important that there is no subsidiary within the Junma Group. For example, Junma Telecom, which has occupied the telephone network in New England and is expanding nationwide, and Junma Electric, which has started to build a home power system and is now involved in the urban power supply system. For example, Junma Electric, which has more than 40,000 employees, has businesses all over the east and west coasts, and also Bank of America, which is increasingly important in the financial industry. These companies are all very good. Even if Li Mu grants power, these companies have the ability to form a "trust" separately. However, within the Junma Group, their status must be taken after Junma Weapons Company.
From this point of view, if someone deliberately made a mistake in this incident, then that person knows the Junma Group very well and hits Qi'an as soon as he takes action.
In the Junma Weapons Company, the person in charge of connecting with the War Department was Deputy General Manager Kenneth Trollop. The reason was very simple. It was not how outstanding Kenneth Trollop was, nor how wide a connection with Kenneth Trollop was, but because Kenneth Trollop had a military background, also participated in the Civil War, and was also an adjutant of former Minister of War William Bernap.
The most important point is that Kenneth Trollop is white.
After receiving the news, Kenneth Trollop formed an investigation team immediately and went to Washington. The members of the investigation team included lawyers from Junma Weapons, senior engineers from Junma Weapons, and members of the public relations department of Junma Group. Kenneth Trollop believed that the public relations department was the core of this investigation team. For this reason, Kenneth Trollop carried up to $1.5 million in checks and bearer bonds, which were much more useful than the investigation report.
After arriving in Washington, Kenneth Trollop started working immediately. Sherman was indeed the same as he said and was not clear about this matter. In order to facilitate Kenneth Trollop's work, Sherman specially sent his adjutant as a coordinator to join the investigation team, which suddenly expressed his position and attitude.
Kenneth Trollop's work efficiency was pretty good. In just three days, Kenneth Trollop took out an investigation report. The investigation report was reported in triplicate, one was submitted to Li Mu, the other was forwarded to Sherman, and the last was given to House Speaker Benjamin Harrison.
Benjamin Harrison called Li Mu the first time he received the telegram: "Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"Ha, are you stupid? Nothing at all!" Li Muyi said righteously.
It's good if not, it's good if not-
