Mayor Dursley and Speaker Brooke were excited after hearing Fang Lang's plan for Natal, and they couldn't wait to plunge into the tide of industrialization.
After hearing that Mayor Dursley had reached a cooperation agreement with Fangyuan Group to build a sugar factory in Natal, Speaker Brooke was unwilling to fall behind and said:
"Colonel Fang, if possible, I would like to invest in building a leather manufacturing factory."
Hearing Speaker Brooke's words, Fang Lang said happily:
"Okay, Speaker Brooke, if you are short of technology or equipment, you can entrust Global Trade to purchase them. If you are short of funds, you can apply for a loan from the Brazilian Development Bank that is about to be built.
I will fully support anyone who is willing to develop and progress with me."
Fang Lang's words finally put the two of them at ease.
"Colonel Fang, please rest assured that we will seriously implement your ideas."
Mayor Dursley quickly expressed his opinion.
...
...
Speaker Brooke echoed this statement again and again.
Director Youssoufa Bull, who was standing aside, heard that several people had been talking for such a long time without saying anything, and felt that he was a little redundant sitting aside, but he did not dare to move at all.
Fang Lang glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.
Then he looked at Mayor Dursley and said:
"Of course, what we are saying is the way forward for the city of Natal, so what do we as mayor and speaker need to do about it?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, Fang Lang continued to ask and answer his own question:
“I think the most important thing is to create a good business environment.
What is a good business environment?
First of all, I think transportation should be convenient. Let's take a look at our roads in Natal. Are they convenient?"
Mayor Dursley and Chancellor Brooke looked at each other, somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing that neither of them answered, Fang Lang continued:
“I find it very inconvenient. Except for two roads in the city center, all other roads are muddy. The two roads in the city center are probably from the colonial era!
This shows that we have basically not developed since we left the colonies, which is abnormal.
Therefore, my opinion is “If you want to get rich, build roads first”. Our city government and council can invest the income from taxes and land sales into road construction.
Look at the base built by the Americans, it’s all made of cement, so clean and tidy, there is no need to worry about the rainy season.
Our parliament must make good plans, take into account the interests of all parties, and allow everyone to participate in the construction of the new Natal."
After hearing Fang Lang's words, both of them seemed a little ashamed. Although this was not just a problem between the two of them, this was the fifth year that they had served as mayor and speaker of the council.
It really seems like nothing has been accomplished.
As a soldier, Fang Lang understood construction better than them, which made both of them blush.
"Colonel Fang, what you said makes a lot of sense. We have never had such a far-sighted plan before. Now that you have pointed out the direction for us, we will definitely build a new Natal under your leadership."
Speaker Brooke immediately came out to express his position.
Fang Lang didn't know whether he was just trying to flatter him or really thought so. It didn't matter to him.
If what he said today is not implemented, he will replace him with someone who can implement it.
Since he had expressed his opinion, Fang Lang naturally took it as that he was willing to go in his own direction.
She nodded at him and continued:
“As for the second aspect, which is about the security environment, I know why you took the initiative to come here today. Don’t worry, I am not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
I absolutely cannot tolerate poor social security problems in society. Once collusion between police and criminals like the Yakub family is discovered, it will be eradicated resolutely.
Today I notified Chief Yusuf Bull to come over to make my attitude clear. The police are entrusted with the great mission of maintaining social order.
What is the character of our Natal police now? They are in league with criminals and even worse than criminals. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Director Yusofa Bull, who had been standing by like a transparent man, did not expect that the topic would suddenly shift to him and the criticism would be so sharp.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, his face turned red, and he didn't dare to say a word to defend himself.
Fang Lang glanced at Director Yusofa Bull and said:
“So, my first priority is to rectify our police force and enable them to truly shoulder the responsibility of maintaining social order.
Now this responsibility falls on the shoulders of Chief Youssoufa Bull. I know that the reason why many police officers commit crimes is because of low salaries.
This requires our parliament and city government to discuss and come up with a practical welfare package for police officers.
If the police are not paid well, it will inevitably lead to them taking bribes at work, which will further aggravate the deterioration of the public security environment.
The corresponding business environment will further deteriorate, resulting in fewer factories, less tax revenue, and a decline in welfare for government departments, forming a vicious cycle.
I am very dissatisfied with the security situation in Natal this time, so I took strong measures to eradicate the cancer. My troops will maintain this high-pressure situation in the near future.
Any illegal criminal behavior will be dealt with directly on the spot. During this period, I require all police officers to receive closed training in the military camp for one month.
"When I think you are qualified, you can return to the police force and continue to work. If not, you will be eliminated. Do you understand? Mr. Chief Yusofa Bull?"
At this time, Director Yusofa Bull dared not say a word! He could only stand up and say:
"Understood, Colonel. I will definitely take the training seriously, starting with myself."
Although the performance of the police chief has been a little poor so far, Fang Lang has not found any reason to replace him directly, so he nodded and said:
“I am going to establish a Natal Police School. All students can apply for our police school. In the future, only students who graduate from the police school can become police officers in Natal.
This matter needs to be implemented after the mayor returns, and I will be responsible for arranging the school teachers."
Mayor Dursley quickly stood up and took the order.
“Because there is a shortage of staff in the police station, I will arrange for some personnel to enter the police station and they will participate in training together with the current police officers.
I hope you can quickly integrate into the team during the training period and build the Natal police force into a combat-ready force as soon as possible.”
“Finally, our government departments need to become service-oriented governments. Of course, this is a long way to go.
We have to take it slow, but first we have to solve a problem, that is environmental sanitation. We have an Environment Agency in Natal!
But looking at the sanitary conditions on the streets, what they do every day, I hope the City Hall and the Parliament will take these matters seriously in the coming period.
If the Department of Health fails to do its job, the Legislature should impeach them, and the city government should replace them, understand?"
The three guests who came to visit on their own initiative were all given a good lesson.
However, everyone felt relieved, as this at least meant that they were safe now and would not be wiped out overnight.
On the way back, Director Yusofar Bull looked at Speaker Brooke with a bitter face and said:
"Uncle, do I still need to attend the training? What if I fail the training?"
Looking at his useless nephew, Speaker Brook really wanted to kick him, and said angrily:
"If you fail the training, you should not come back. Haven't you noticed? If we really follow Colonel Fang's plan, Natal will soon usher in earth-shaking changes.
Maybe, we will become prosperous soon. If you retreat at this time, you will lose everything, do you understand?
After I go back, I have to take a good look at the assets of my family. Since I have the opportunity to open a leather factory, I can’t miss it.”
Seeing that his nephew still had a look of despair on his face, Speaker Brook couldn't help but give him a hint:
"From what Colonel Fang said, he doesn't want to directly undermine the results of the democratic election. So, you will definitely still be the director, but he will definitely arrange for his own people to come in.
As long as you can build good relationships with the newcomers and fully support their work, you can keep your position as director. Do you understand?"
Director Yusofa Bull, who was currently complaining to himself, heard his uncle's words and his eyes lit up.
"Is that so? I'm good at making friends! Now that you put it that way, I understand. You can rest assured that you will fully support their work."
Speaker Brooke sighed with a wry smile, shook his head and said nothing.
Fang Lang, who watched them leave, had a smile on his face. He never thought that he had initially just wanted to build a salt field, but later in order to test the ability of Lei Qi as an intelligence officer, he actually achieved such great results.
This is really the case of trying to plant flowers but they don't bloom, but accidentally planting willows will grow into a shade!
The action of eliminating the Yakub family can be regarded as a successful result. However, should it be regarded as a warning to others, or should it be called killing the chicken to scare the monkey, or killing the monkey to scare the chicken?
Now, just tell them your ideas and let them execute them. If they do well, reward them. If they don’t, replace them.
Isn’t this relaxing?
This is what a leader should do! Put the right people in the right positions and arrange the work!
Oh! An Yi!
Wait! Business matters are not settled yet! I am so depressed. When will my assistant team be in place?
"Chongxin! I have something for you to do!"
"Go to the General Logistics Department of the U.S. Army and look for Major Mike. I have discussed with him about setting up a joint venture arms trading company to help the U.S. Army clear out its retired equipment.
As for who will be in charge after the company is established, you can ask Mike for his opinion. If he doesn’t ask for a designated person, you can recruit externally! ”
"Shares? For shares, it depends on how much investment he can make! My goal is to have a controlling stake, so go and talk to him yourself."
"What container transportation system is ready? I may not have time to come over these two days. Let me try to find time to come to the United States within this month.
Please help me set up an assistant team in the United States, and try to recruit people from each branch who are familiar with the branch’s situation.
I need to understand the specific situation of each branch in a timely manner and make plans. "
"Okay, that's it, we'll talk when we meet."
