Chapter 73： Rectify state-owned enterprises

After inspecting the new aircraft at the Coanda Aircraft Factory, Edel returned to the palace.

"Your Highness, this is the report of the expansion of the Constanta Steel Plant."

Back to Edel, who had just landed on the chair in the palace, he saw a guard come in with an application document and handed it to the crown prince.

Edel took the report, rubbed his temples and talked about it. "Let me consider."

"His Royal Highness, let's take a break first." The guard said when he saw the tired face of the crown prince.

"No, you go out first, let me see and talk."

After getting the answer from the crown prince, the guard walked out of the office. Edel picked up the expansion report and read it.

In this report, Duzweigan, the general manager of the steel plant, wrote. Thanks to the establishment of many factories in Romania in recent years, especially the consumption of the Volkswagen plant, the steel plant is now operating at full capacity. The steel supply to Romania has reached its limit and funds are needed to expand production capacity. Because it is a state-owned enterprise that needs to turn in profits and the government is now short of funds, the funds are not enough now, and I want the crown prince to approve the factory to intercept funds.

"Isn't this the responsibility of the government department? Why did it come to me." After seeing this application report, Edel thought to himself. If you don't understand, let those who know, the crown prince calls the guards, and asks him to call the Minister of Industry Karatuuli to come over tomorrow.

The next day, Industry Minister Karatuuri came to the Crown Prince’s office. "I have seen your Highness."

"Karaturi, why is this construction report on my desk." Edel took out Duzweigan's report and asked him.

"His Royal Highness, can you show me first?" asked the Minister of Industry, who was a little confused.

"Let's take a look first." After speaking, Edel handed him the report. After taking a look at the report, Karastu told the crown prince with a smile. "This is indeed what I refused."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Edel knew that the nephew of Prime Minister Sturlier was also a shrewd man, and there must be a reason for his refusal.

"In fact, the main reason is that Duzweigan did not state in the report that the purchase of smelting equipment this time is for the purchase of Italian products and second-hand equipment, and the price is 50% of that of Germany."

"You keep talking." Edel looked at the confident Karastu and continued to ask.

"The price is reasonable according to reason. But I understand that the equipment is a bit backward this time. It is the equipment that the Taranto Steel Plant is going to phase out. I think these equipment is not of much use to Romania, so it was not approved. I didn't expect it. Will bypass me and hand over this construction report to the crown prince."

After listening to Karaturi's words, Edel had a little judgment in his heart.

"Call Miloc over here."

After sending away the Minister of Industry, Edel explained to the guards.

It didn't take long for the intelligence chief to ask after Miloc came to the crown prince's office to salute. "His Royal Highness, look for me."

"I have something for you to do this time."

Edel told Millock about the expansion of the steel plant.

"His Royal Highness wants me to investigate this Duzweigan?"

"Yes it is."

"I will put his report on the table of His Royal Highness soon."

After sending away the intelligence chief, Edel wondered in his heart whether someone was unconscious.

After receiving the task from the crown prince, Milok returned to the office and ordered one of his subordinates. "Call Hilka here."

"The chief, you call me." This ordinary-looking Hilka in civilian clothes came in and asked lazily.

"Yes, I have a task for you here." Milock pretended not to see him and said.

"What important task?"

Milok told Hilka what the crown prince asked to do.

"Head, you can give such a small task to those newcomers, and they can also complete it."

It can be seen that this Hilka is very popular with Milok.

"This is my request." In the face of his ace player, Millock rarely did not get angry.

"Then you have to give me a few days off after completing this task."

"What are you going to do again?"

"I plan to travel and relax."

"Okay, but I will see this report on my desk the morning after tomorrow." Millock made his subordinates more difficult.

"small issue."

Seeing this Shirka, who was a bit of a headache, Milock thought in his heart that if you hadn't been efficient, he would have called you to flush the toilet.

This time the crown prince asked him to do errands, which made Milok attach great importance to his performance in front of the crown prince. Everyone knows that King Carroll is delegating power to the crown prince, and Milok knows the crown prince's character very thoroughly now. This highness valued the abilities of his subordinates very much. If you look at the people promoted by the crown prince, you will know that there is no ability like his eyes. Before the crown prince, the general intelligence work was entrusted to his chief guard. This makes Milok feel very crisis, and it is difficult to say that it is safe to retire when doing intelligence work. Now this is an opportunity. He wants the crown prince to see his abilities, so he has his trump card to investigate a small task.

The ace Mr. Millock fancyed lived up to his expectations and handed over the report to him in the evening of the next day. Millock looked at the report in his hand, and felt incredible for the greed of this Mr. Duzweigan in his heart.

I usually eat and take credits at the factory. This expansion project was caused by an Italian businessman. After purchasing the equipment that he planned to phase out at the Taranto Iron and Steel Plant, the businessman contacted Duzweigan and planned to sell it to Constanta Iron and Steel Plant at the price of second-hand equipment. Among them, Mr. Duzweigan got 70% of the difference, while the Italian businessman only got 30%. It's no wonder that after Minister Karastu refused, he still intends to take advantage of it. This is really money blinded his eyes, even the IQ is not enough.

After receiving this investigation report, Miloc immediately went to the palace to report to Edel. After hearing Millock's report. Edel was surprised. He could understand the strange behavior of domestic officials that he had seen in his previous life. It was not an intellectual problem, but something tempting to hide his eyes.

Edel looked at the investigative report in his hand and said to Miloc you should go to this case and get back all the money he took. "

"Yes, your highness."

After seeing Milo go down, Edel sat in the chair and sighed long.

Milok asked the people in Constanta to capture Duzweigan overnight, and the Italian businessman was also arrested. No matter where the two were the opponents of the intelligence personnel, after a little interrogation, they pour out the beans and tell everything.

In the more than three years since he took office, Duzweigan has used his position to embezzle more than 4 million lei. I also arranged my relatives in various departments with sufficient oil and water. If the steel plant's production had not been able to meet the needs of Romania, they would have been spotted as a moth.

"Karastu, you send personnel to thoroughly investigate all state-owned factories. I will ask Milo to help you in secret." Holding Milo's interrogation report in his hand, the crown prince said to the minister of industry who was called.

"Good lord."

After sending away Karastu, Edel called the palace chief Viscount Adli.

"What is your command?"

"You also send someone to check our royal factory."

"Good lord."

Following Edel's order, every state-owned and royal factory welcomed inspectors, making some people with dirty hands worried secretly.

During the inspection, a total of five factory supervisors were interrogated and investigated due to the large amount of money. Nine people were warned in writing due to the small amount of money, requesting a refund of the embezzled money.

After a month and a half of inventory, the trend of various enterprises has been reversed. Through this investigation, the officials are also warned that if you can check state-owned enterprises, you can also be checked. Many officials in the government also let go of their hands for a while, which can be regarded as a bit of a curse.
