Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

By 1944, the world war had been going on for five full years.

Southern Africa actually entered the war in its fourth year.

Although Southern Africa is far away from Europe and has been less affected by the war. It has even enjoyed huge dividends brought by the war and has experienced rapid economic growth for many years, but everything is still about to reach its limit.

Europeans are now completely crazy. They borrow money when they have no money, without thinking about how to repay it. The federal government of Southern Africa, as well as Southern African companies, are now very doubtful about the repayment ability of European countries.

In other words, the debt owed by European countries has reached a level that they cannot afford to repay.

Let’s not talk about other countries, let’s just talk about Britain and France.

Britain and France have not yet repaid the debt they owed during World War I.

Old debts have not been paid off, and new debts have been added. Even if Britain and France use national revenue as collateral, they will not be able to repay them until the next century.

Nima next century!

The year is now 1944.

There are still more than fifty years until the next century.

Even with interest, given the depreciation of the currency, the purchasing power of one rand fifty years from now will never be the same as it is now.

Of course, that's not how the accounts are calculated.

Britain and France owe Southern Africa so much money, and their economies are deeply tied to Southern Africa. When discussing repayment issues, they are forced to agree to some unequal conditions in Southern Africa.

For example, the development method of oil fields in North Africa——

For example, the rights and status of the Straits Settlements——

Another example is the ownership of a certain island deep in the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, etc. Anyway, we have to talk about it, so take your time.

Although there are many benefits, they are all at the national level.

Regarding the Johannesburg Textile Group specifically, Rose was very angry.

As mentioned earlier, the Johannesburg Textile Group returns most of its profits to the workers of the Johannesburg Textile Group in the form of salaries and benefits.

This results in the Johannesburg Textile Group itself not having much balance. If costs continue to rise, then the Johannesburg Textile Group will either increase prices or reduce workers' salaries and benefits. There is no third option.

It is impossible to increase prices. The Johannesburg Textile Group does not even pay taxes. The profits set aside by the federal government for the Johannesburg Textile Group will not be too high. Even if Rose is Roque's daughter, she cannot go too far.

Lying on the federal government to suck blood.

Johannesburg Textile Group is the largest textile company in southern Africa, but it is not the only one.

If the Johannesburg Textile Group raises its prices, the War Department will immediately give orders to other textile companies, and orders from foreign countries will immediately decrease. The sweatshops in Europe and the United States are all waiting for the Johannesburg Textile Group to make a mistake.

As for reducing workers' salaries and benefits.

It goes without saying that things like salary and benefits can only be increased, not reduced, otherwise opportunities for Kurci and Petrovich will come.

So Rose can only dump the pressure on the Johannesburg Farm Association.

"Honorable——" Chen Mingqi acted like an old man when he opened his mouth, so he first gave him a high hat.

"Call me Mr. General Manager!" Rose didn't give the old man a chance to compliment.

Chen Mingqi, who is in his sixties, was scolded by Rose, who was only 28 years old, in front of him without any embarrassment on his face.

Rose was born in 1917. Her age of 28 is not a description, but her real age is 28.

"Mr. General Manager, you have to pity our poor farmers -" Chen Mingqi was wearing a high-end Tang suit, expensive crocodile leather shoes, and a diamond watch on his hand that could blind people.

Do you really not feel even the slightest bit embarrassed when you look so glamorous and say words like "poverty"?

So Rose was even more angry.

"Before saying this, could you please take off the diamond watch on your hand? What's wrong, the farmers in Johannesburg can no longer afford the latest model of Comet motorcycles?" Rose was annoyed.

The Comet motorcycle is a product of Rhodesia Heavy Industries. It is famous for its cool appearance and high price. It is the favorite of Johannesburg farmers.

One of the favorites as much as the Arabian horse.

The true wealth of farms in not just Johannesburg but throughout southern Africa is unknown to others, but Rose knows it best.

After all, the group of farmers was created by Rock.

Not to mention Cape State, most of the farmers are British.

Most of the first farmers in the Transvaal were the police officers under Rock when he was chief of police in Johannesburg, as well as the miners in the West Rand gold mines.

The vast majority of these two groups are Chinese.

"If it were Mr. Luo, he would never talk to me with such an attitude!" Chen Mingqi revealed his true colors. He once worked as a police officer in the Johannesburg Police Station and was one of Luo Ke's earliest confidants. If he hadn't been in Rose's office, then Rose would also call Chen Mingqi uncle when she saw him.

"Then why don't you go to Pretoria to find your Mr. Luo?" Rose was half lying on the boss's chair, showing no respect at all.

These uncles of Rose are either retired or in high positions of authority. None of them are like uncles. They are not only rich and unkind, but also old and disrespectful.

"Master Luo is so busy at work, so I won't bother Master Luo with this little matter -" Chen Mingqi smiled playfully, and this slightly superficial word was perfect for him.

"Whoever you look for, the price cannot go up anyway. Don't think that apart from your wool, our Johannesburg Textile Group has no other sources of raw materials. Australian wool suppliers are queuing up outside my office. Believe it or not, I can give you a call. Lee Austin will appear in front of me!" Rose has accumulated rich experience in dealing with these uncles.

Chen Mingqi took a deep breath.

This is too loud. Kerry Austin is the current Australian Trade Minister.

The key is that Rose really has this strength.

After southern African capital, represented by South African companies and Nyasaland companies, went to Australia to develop farms in Western Australia, Australia is gradually becoming that "country riding on the back of a sheep."

As the world's largest textile company, the Australian government dreams of becoming the largest supplier of the Johannesburg Textile Group.

Now the largest suppliers of Johannesburg Textile Group are the major farm associations in southern Africa, and Australian wool is one of the suppliers of Johannesburg Textile Group.

So Rose really wasn't bragging.

Whenever Rose needs it, Kerry Austin will fly overnight to appear in front of Rose.

"My dear niece——" Chen Mingqi changed his approach and relied on his old age to show off.

"Haha, has your noble Highness Rose finally become your dear niece? Where are you a Marquis from?" Rose's ridicule was merciless. She dared to be related to the Marquis of Nyasaland. It was so shameless.

"If you agree to raise the price, I can call you aunt -" Chen Mingqi couldn't compete with Luo Ke, so he might as well compete with Rose.

"No, no, no, no, I don't have a grandson like you." Rose disagreed. She was a generation behind.

"You really can't?" Chen Mingqi was helpless.

"It's really not possible!" Rose said in a serious tone.

If it doesn't work, forget it. When Chen Mingqi walked out of Rose's office, he looked depressed.

As soon as I got into the car, I felt very proud.

"Does Your Highness Rose agree?" Liu Li, vice president of the Johannesburg Farm Association, looked expectant.

Johannesburg's wool production is huge. Even if one kilogram of wool increases by 0.1 rand, it will be a lot of money in a year.

"No -" Chen Mingqi looked very happy.

"Then why are you happy?" Liu Li was not too disappointed. They were both in the same boat.

"At least now I can be sure that the price will not drop -" Chen Mingqi is cunning and cunning, raising prices and everything else are just a cover, ensuring profits is the key.

The Johannesburg Textile Group can lose money, but the Johannesburg Farm cannot. This is Rock's fundamentals.

Smart people know that war dividends cannot last long.

Europe itself cannot hold on anymore, and the war can last for another year at most. By then, due to reduced orders from Europe, southern Africa will encounter unprecedented difficulties.

In fact, the orders of Johannesburg Textile Group have begun to decline.

In the past few years, when the orders were the largest, there were tens of millions of clothing orders from the Ministry of War in Southern Africa every year, with a total price of several billion. The textile group's hundreds of thousands of people working around the clock to rush for the orders could not fulfill the orders.

Since last year, the War Department has stopped recruiting new soldiers, and orders have also decreased. Orders from Europe have also decreased. This year, orders from Free France have even dropped by 40%. The crisis has begun to emerge.

So what matters at this time is not whether it goes up or not. As long as it doesn't fall, thank God.

When Chen Mingqi secretly rejoiced, the pressure was all on Rose's side.

Even Chen Mingqi could sense that the situation was not good, and the situation on Rose's side was even more direct.

On the surface, it seems that the Johannesburg Textile Group is at an unprecedented peak. The massive orders for several consecutive years have provided the workers of the Johannesburg Textile Group with the highest salary and the best benefits in the world. Youdao means from frugality to luxury.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If you are used to abalone and sea cucumber, and then eat simple meals, there will definitely be people who are not willing to do so.

"Restructuring can only change our existing system. We can no longer use all profits to improve workers' welfare. We must retain part of the profits to resist potential risks. Rand Bank predicts that after the end of the world war, the world's

The economy may experience a recession that lasts for three years. If we don't prepare in advance, whether we can survive is a question." Jessica is an excellent financial person and she is also very enthusiastic. The reason why she made this suggestion is

Responsible for the workers of the textile group.

Workers in the textile group have become accustomed to nanny-style care. Once they lose the protection of the textile group, survival will be a big problem.

The simple meals are not delicious, but at least they will not starve to death.

Look at Europe now, how many people want to eat but can't afford it.

"Even if the economy is in recession, people will always have to wear clothes and eat. For us, it's a question of making more or less." Balotelli, the deputy general manager in charge of organizing production, did not take it seriously. The world's largest

Textile companies can enjoy a few more years even if they rest on their laurels.

Even if the economic crisis comes as expected, as long as it survives those few years, the Johannesburg Textile Group can still make a comeback.

"It's not that easy. Our biggest problem is that we have no balance. Who would have thought that a company with an annual output value of billions of rands would have a bank account balance of no more than 10 million rands. This amount of money is not even enough to pay workers a month's salary."

"." Jessica lamented that she was under the greatest pressure in the entire group.

"If it really doesn't work, we can find a bank loan -" Rossetti, another deputy general manager, was not worried either. The Johannesburg Textile Group may be one of the most bizarre companies in the world.

Many people may not know that the Johannesburg Textile Group has no debts, not even a penny.

Whether it is from suppliers or banks, Johannesburg Textile Group has never operated with debt, which is simply a miracle for a large enterprise of this size.

Those enterprises that are as famous as the Johannesburg Textile Group, such as South Africa Company, Nyasaland Company, Nyasaland Heavy Industries, etc., all operate with debt, more or less, especially bank loans.

The Johannesburg Textile Group never borrows money, and at most finances from the social level, and in many cases it is internal financing. Therefore, it is not the Locke family that owns the most shares of the Johannesburg Textile Group, but the workers of the Johannesburg Textile Group.

So as long as the Johannesburg Textile Group opens its mouth, all southern African banks will extend an olive branch, as many as they want.

"Kelly, make a plan. From now on, we must be prepared to face difficulties." Rose didn't want to find a bank loan or reduce workers' wages, so she had to find another way.

Since you can't make more money, find ways to save money.

Kelly is the director of the general manager's office, a real housekeeper, and one of Rose's most trusted people.

There are many ways to save money.

The company with the best welfare has a lot of imaginable expenses. The office supplies purchased by the general manager’s office every month have to be hauled by car.

Since it is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, some unnecessary expenditures can be saved, and some benefits that have exceeded the level of ordinary people will also be reduced.

Christmas and Spring Festival are coming soon, which are the two most important festivals throughout the year in southern Africa. At this time in previous years, Johannesburg Textile Group has begun to purchase various materials from all over the world and distribute them to the group as year-end benefits.

There are still many year-end benefits this year, but the grade has been slightly lowered. The wine is changed from Cape Town to Spanish, the beef is changed from Nyasaland beef to cheaper Australian beef, and even the coffee is changed from expensive local coffee.

, replaced by imported coffee from the Abyssinian Empire.

Have you noticed that the prices of the above types of products produced locally in southern Africa are more expensive than those imported from abroad?

This is not surprising.

If it is industrial products, southern African products are indeed the best choice due to their low prices and high quality.

However, although the quality of agricultural products in southern Africa is good, the prices are also very high.

In this way, it is cheaper to import.
