After Dulles received the call, he rushed to Pretoria that afternoon.
Yes, telephone calls are already available between Pretoria and Johannesburg. The company laying the lines is Rand Telecom founded by Rock. The cost of installing a telephone in the Transvaal is about one hundred rand.
Standard luxury goods.
"There is absolutely no quality problem with the products we produce, not just for the Ministry of Defense. As long as the products are produced by our Johannesburg Textile Company, there will never be any quality problem." Dulles is confident that Johannesburg Textile has always
The company's reputation is very good, and it has indeed never had any quality problems.
Rock's original intention of establishing the Johannesburg Textile Company was to increase the income of Chinese farmers in the Transvaal. At that time, there were no textile factories in southern Africa, and the wool produced by the farms had to be sold to Europe for processing. The farmers really could not make money.
How much money do you get?
After the establishment of the Johannesburg Textile Company, it purchased wool from farmers according to the price of wool in the European market, then processed it into wool and sold it to Europe. In this way, farmers did increase their income, but Roque could not make any money.
So Rock just went ahead and processed the wool directly into carpets, blankets and various ready-made garments. This finally opened up the situation.
When the Johannesburg Textile Company was handed over to Phyllis, its profitability was still very good.
As a result, Phyllis ran the company with a philanthropic mentality and paid workers higher wages than the federal government paid to department staff. She did not lose money in these years, and Dulles was indeed indispensable.
"Then why did this happen?" Phyllis was very angry. If this incident affects the reputation of the Johannesburg Textile Company, it will affect the lives of thousands of families.
"Sorry madam, I don't know why this is happening, but I can guarantee that our products have absolutely no quality problems." Dulles was very worried. He had just learned about this on the phone, and some guessed that Dulles
Dare not say.
In the cooperation between the Ministry of National Defense and the Johannesburg Textile Company, there is no middleman to earn the price difference. The Ministry of National Defense directly places the order with the Johannesburg Textile Company, and then sends a vehicle to pick up the products from the Johannesburg Textile Company and send them to the warehouse. So if the Johannesburg Textile Company is fine
, the problem lies with the Ministry of Defense.
Roark was the Deputy Secretary of Defense, so Dulles really didn't dare to guess. He could only guarantee repeatedly that the Johannesburg Textile Company would have no problem.
"Okay, I understand." Phyllis is not stupid. Since there is no problem with the company, then the problem can only lie with the Ministry of National Defense.
When Rock came home in the evening, Phyllis asked about the results of the investigation.
"There are no results yet -" Rock is not in a hurry. The Ministry of National Defense has set up an investigation team to investigate this matter. Brad is also investigating, and the results will be available in three or two days.
"I called Dulles over today to prepare to expand the scale of the factory." Phyllis said proudly.
"Then -" Rock concentrated on eating.
"Then we expanded. I thought the company wouldn't make much money, but I didn't expect there was still a lot left." Phyllis also knew what was going on, and looked at Roark with a sweet look in her eyes.
It’s not surprising to make money. The orders placed by the Ministry of National Defense to the Johannesburg Textile Company are very profitable. This is not because Phyllis is the boss and the Ministry of National Defense delivers benefits to the Johannesburg Textile Company. In fact, the purchase price given by the Ministry of Defense to the Johannesburg Textile Company is the normal market price.
price, but the Johannesburg Textile Company did not spend any public relations expenses on the order, and this part of the public relations expenses became the profits of the textile company.
So this can explain why the federal government's material procurement prices are always very expensive.
This kind of thing is not unique to southern Africa, it is the same all over the world. Rock still remembers the scandal that broke out in the US military in another time and space. The price of an ordinary wrench can reach 9,000 US dollars, and a secondary tube on the market is worth 4 cents.
The US military's purchase price is US$110, and the Air Force's purchase price of a toilet seat is even as high as US$5,000.
This is just what has been revealed. No one knows how many there are until it is revealed.
Compared with the US military, the Ministry of Defense of Southern Africa is a true example of integrity.
So to put it bluntly, most of the profits of the Johannesburg Textile Company should have been Rock's gray income, but Rock didn't lack this little money, so he simply stayed clean and set a good example, so that if someone made a mistake in this regard, Rock would deal with it
You can also feel confident when you stand up.
Brad's efficiency was still very high. When Rock went to work the next morning, Brad already had the results of the investigation.
"How is it possible for the warehouse manager to change it privately?" Rock couldn't believe it. The warehouse manager was not a high-level official, but he could openly pull combat readiness supplies from the Ministry of National Defense's combat readiness warehouse in broad daylight. This was also very unusual.
magic.
"I thought it was impossible, but that's the fact. There is a coincidence in this matter. This year, the Ministry of National Defense just deleted textiles from the combat readiness warehouse list, and then the 101st Division and the 102nd Division were established. This part was cleared from the combat readiness warehouse.
The supplies were treated as normal military equipment and distributed to the 101st Division, but this incident was discovered." Patton is now Rock's secretary, and is finally qualified to contact Brad, and he is very enthusiastic about his work every day.
If you look at it this way, it is indeed a coincidence. If it were not for the cleanup of materials in the war preparation warehouse this year, then no one might have discovered this matter. In a few years, even textiles with qualified quality will rot and become moldy.
But Rock was still curious about how a warehouse manager pulled things away.
"The warehouse manager forged the inventory list, and then his accomplices drove a military truck directly to the combat readiness warehouse. No one noticed the whole process." Barton exclaimed, such a talent should be absorbed into Brad.
Luo Ke was speechless. He could only say that there were so many smart people.
The management loopholes in the combat readiness warehouse are also really big.
"Are you going to arrest someone?" Barton said enthusiastically, and he would probably apply to lead the team if he was arrested.
"No arrest -" Rock was not in a hurry. Brad only had the power of secret investigation and no power of action. Such a secret organization must be restricted, otherwise it would be the southern African version of the Gestapo.
"What if I run away -" Barton was really sorry.
"It's the police who have to arrest us. It's not our turn." An Qi has been a police officer and is very familiar with the operating procedures.
"Scripps is a soldier. Even if he is arrested, it will be our military police who will arrest him. The trial will be in a military court and has nothing to do with the police." Barton doesn't care about the police. The profession of soldiers is indeed very special and they cannot be restrained by normal laws.
"The situation you mentioned only exists in overseas operations. Soldiers do not need to abide by our country's laws when performing overseas missions. However, in our country, our country's laws also apply to soldiers who break the law." Angel said in Nia.
I studied law at Salan University.
"Then it depends on our Lord's opinion -" Barton did not argue. Sometimes the law would not provide too detailed provisions, just to facilitate various behind-the-scenes operations, otherwise there would be so many legal interpretations.
A strong minister of defense can handle crimes committed by soldiers within the country and be tried by military courts.
A defense minister who is not strong enough——
Well, the defense minister who wasn't strong enough is still in hospital.
