Chapter 75： The new leader of the steel plant

For Edel, the grain processing industry is just a light industry that has not received much attention. Management can make money, but in Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century, the focus is now on heavy industries that strengthen national power. Edel can't avoid the vulgarity. Now he is concerned about the new head of the Constanta Steel Plant and its expansion project.

After destroying the greedy Duzweigan, Edel had to find a new helm for the pillar enterprise of Romania. In fact, if Duzweigan were not too greedy, he would still be qualified as the head of a steel plant. But now because of greed, he is in prison.

"This is the new person in charge of the steel plant we are considering. Please take a look at your highness." Industry Minister Karituri handed over several resumes to the crown prince.

"Can't Bisk now work?" Edel asked.

In this corruption case, Bisk, the deputy director of the steel plant, did not find any problems. Now that the entire steel plant is being supervised temporarily, it is no wonder that Edel would ask that.

"His Royal Highness Bisk is qualified as a production leader, but his ability to lead the development and growth of the steel plant is still a bit weak." Karatuuri explained to the crown prince. Edel understood what he meant. This Bisk was used to being directed to work.

After asking, Edel picked up some suitable candidates' resumes given by Karatuuri and looked at them. Vazquez: Forty-five years old, French, formerly served as deputy director of the Solak Steel Company in France. Later, he resigned due to conflicts with the general manager of the company, and now he does not work for any company. This time the Romanian Steel Company recruited and voted for his resume.

After Edel saw this resume, he denied this Mr. Vazquez in his heart. Even forty-five years old and still so arrogant, it is estimated that there will be a lot of desire to control.

Edel picked up the next resume, Kturowski; 51-year-old, Polish, formerly served as deputy director of the Platte Steel Plant in Russia, but was discriminated against due to ethnic relations and was forced to resign. Now he is given to a family Be the director of a small steel plant.

Bodeville; forty-eight years old, German, formerly a deputy at Krupp Steel Works, and resigned two years ago due to medical reasons. Now I want to change a job after recovering from the illness, and I am currently idle at home.

Carosta: Fifty-four years old, Spaniard, formerly worked as the director of a steel plant of the Spanish company Sotac, but later resigned due to salary issues, and now he is still out of work.

After reading the resumes of these people, Edel asked the Minister of Industry. "What do you think."

"His Royal Highness, the resumes of these people are selected from many candidates, and they can basically meet the job requirements of the steel plant."

After hearing what Karaturi said, Edel himself didn't know how to choose. Edel thought about it for a while. "Would you like to arrange an interview for them?"

"Also."

"Then you go and arrange it."

After half a month, Karaturi brought a few candidates for the general manager of the steel company to the palace.

"I have seen your Highness." The group saluted after seeing Edel.

"You are welcome, you are all excellent management talents in the steel industry. This time because the steel company is very important to Romania, I invite you to come for an interview. I hope everyone can understand. Now let's come one by one."

Everyone nodded their heads to express understanding.

"Then Mr. Vazquez will stay first."

After Edel finished speaking, everyone except Vazquez went out.

"Mr. Vazquez, you first talk about the outlook for the Romanian Steel Company." Edel first asked his outlook for the steel company.

"His Royal Highness, I think Romania's steel industry is relatively conservative now, and the current steel plant capacity is completely insufficient for Romania's demand. I think it is necessary to expand the scale of production capacity, and it is best to occupy the surrounding market, and to hold back the domestic steel market."

After listening to Vazquez's outlook, Edel said nothing. Karatuuri told the Frenchman. "Mr. Vazquez, thank you for your speech, please wait outside."

After sending off Vazquez, Karituli called the next candidate, Kturowski, a Polish.

Edel will say to Vazquez, and also to Katuraski.

"I think Romanian steel companies should do a good job of internal stability first. The current requirements for production capacity are very simple to meet domestic demand."

"Why?" Edel asked curiously when he heard this Katuraski's words. Faced with the crown prince’s question, the Polish explained. "This is because Romanian steel plants have no advantage now. When all raw materials need to be imported, the cost will be higher than others. Moreover, the development of Romanian steel companies is also the effect of tariffs."

"Mr. Katuraski, please continue." After Edel asked, he asked him to continue the previous topic.

"My personal opinion is that before we can find large coal and iron mines in Romania, the steel industry can satisfy the domestic demand. We are not competitive in the external market."

Karatuuri saw that Edel only asked one question, and then talked about it after no further questions. "Mr. Katuraski thank you for your speech. Please wait outside."

After sending off the Polish, Karatuuri called the German Podwell and Spaniard Carlosta to inquire. After questioning, the Minister of Industry asked his crown prince what he meant. "His Royal Highness, do you think we should choose?"

"I think that Polish Katuraski is more suitable for the current Constanta Steel Plant." Edel expressed his opinion. For Romania, the steel industry now needs enough words, after all, the cost is higher than others. Katulaski's speech is more in line with the requirements of the crown prince.

"Okay, your lord, I will tell them the result of the choice in the afternoon." Karaturi left the office after speaking.

In the afternoon, Karaturi told the results of the choice in front of several people. Katulaski was very happy to be selected as the head of the Romanian Steel Company. Others who did not apply for the job also congratulated him gracefully.

After going through the resignation procedures for a few days, Katuraski took office at the Constanta Steel Plant under the leadership of Karaturi. This veteran in the steel industry has paid close attention to production efficiency and cut down unnecessary departments. Of course, he also knows that he can't blindly be strict and spend half of the saved expenses on improving workers' food and welfare. This move made the front-line workers cheer and thunderous, and it quickly made him stand firm in the steel plant.

After seeing the steel plant operating well again, Edel also retracted his gaze. After a while, a good news came that made him very happy. At the Romanian Power Laboratory, a small diesel engine was finally successfully developed.
