Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1036 The Treasure House

For ordinary people in southern Africa, the Nyasaland company has almost no sense of existence. The company has no factories, no specific business projects, and even a fixed office location.

But for Nyasaland University professors like Carlos, Nyasaland Company is like a legend.

Nyasaland is a professional investment company that has just appeared a few years ago. This company perfectly plays the role of an angel investor. Many professors at Nyasaland University have cooperated with Nyasaland.

Universities are the institutions that are most likely to produce scientific research results, but the realization of scientific research results requires a lot of funds. The professors of Nyasaland University have scientific research results, and Nyasaland Company has funds. It is a match made in heaven!

When he heard that Lincoln was from Nyasaland, Professor Carlos' eyes lit up immediately.

Carlos knew that Nyasaran Company was a company under Roque's name. In the whole of southern Africa, if anyone could promote the federal government's investment in Southwest Africa, then this person could only be Roque.

Many members of the Southern African Parliament have a close relationship with Roque. Needless to say, the members of Nyasaland are all Roque’s retainers. Will align with Nyasaland MP.

For the same reason, the representatives of the Transvaal State are also from the Roque family. Now the members of the Roque camp also include Bechuanaland and Lorenzo Marquez. If Southern Africa annexes Southwest Africa and Tango Nika, then congressmen from these two states are likely to join Rock's camp in the future.

No, not very likely, almost certainly.

Don't forget that Roque is the Minister of Defense and War in Southern Africa, while the farmers in Southwest Africa and Tanganyika are mainly soldiers. With Roque's prestige among the soldiers——

Let's put it this way, George V's prestige among the southern African soldiers may not necessarily be as high as that of Roque.

The reason for "not necessarily" is because I want to save some face for the king.

Taking a step back, even if the parliament does not agree to invest in the governance of the deserts in Southwest Africa, Rock is still capable of investing in the governance of the deserts in Southwest Africa. Look at the large number of companies under the name of Rock, ordinary people may not know, More than 40.00% of the tax revenue of the Federal Government of Southern Africa now comes from companies under Roque's name, or companies in which Roque holds shares.

"Mr. Lincoln, hello, nice to meet you—" After knowing Lincoln's identity, Professor Carlos was very enthusiastic.

Lincoln invited Carlos to dinner, and Carlos happily accepted Lincoln's invitation.

After all, after a busy day, I still have to eat dinner.

The dinner was not particularly rich, but Lincoln took care of Carlos' taste and chose light and digestible food, which satisfied Carlos very much.

"Professor Carlos, I read your paper published on "Cell". Few people are willing to give up the superior life in the laboratory and go to a difficult area to work for several years. Your experience is admirable——" Lincoln flattered The predecessor of "Cell" was the internal journal of Nyasaland University, and it has now been released to the public.

Now in southern Africa, "Cell" is a top scientific and technological journal that can be compared with "British Nature Journal". Because the qualification of Nyasaland University was questioned by the British Education Association, Nyasaland University simply changed the name of the school journal to "" This decision was supported by the government of Nyasaland State. The current "Cell" is funded by the state government and hosted by Nyasaland University. It not only accepts contributions from scientists in southern Africa, but also accepts contributions from scientists from Europe and the United States. Contribute.

And the remuneration is higher than that of the British Journal of Nature.

Don’t think that professors engaged in scientific research are saints who don’t eat fireworks in the world. Scientific research requires a lot of financial support, and professors and investors also have to pay back.

"I can only take part of the time to go to Southwest Africa every year, and most of the time is still at Nyasaland University. What is really great is those people who work in Southwest Africa. Their living conditions are very difficult and their salary is meager. Compared with them, I have done very little work.” Professor Carlos is very humble, he has a teaching task at Nyasaland University, and he can only go to Southwest Africa for research during the holidays.

"That's also great. Other professors choose to go on vacation during their vacations. Only you are still working, which is even more valuable." In any case, Lincoln can always find an entry point.

Carlos shook his head and smiled bitterly. Anyway, Lincoln's flattery made Carlos feel very good.

"Professor Carlos, our Nyasaland company is ready to invest in your desert transformation plan. This is a long-term work. If you want, our Nyasaland company can invite you to be our company's senior consultant. You can enjoy three A fixed annual salary of [-] rand and long-term dividends, but the dividend period may be a bit long--" Lincoln finally sent an invitation to Carlos on behalf of Nyasaland Company, [-] rand is definitely a high salary in southern Africa, the deputy of the Ministry of Finance The annual salary of the minister is so much.

"What are you going to do?" Carlos was noncommittal. Enterprise investment must be profitable. Carlos was not sure how determined Nyasaland was.

"Our Nyasaland company will invest in the purchase of the deserts in Southwest Africa and the southwestern Cape, and then invest huge sums of money to transform the deserts, and at the same time emigrate to Southwest Africa and the southwestern Cape. This should actually be led by the federal government plan, but you know, those members of parliament will not agree to invest limited funds in the desert, after all, the payback period is too long.” Nyasaland Corporation is ambitious, and the purchase of land must be in units of square kilometers, and it is often "[-]" level.

The desert area in the south of Southwest Africa and the southwest of the Cape is about 50 square kilometers.

This area is not all desert, there are also Gobi, barren mountains, hilly areas not suitable for development, and dry swamps.

Of course, there are also abundant mineral deposits underground, but it takes a lot of time and money to find them, and the cost of development is also high.

"Then why is your Nyasaran company willing to invest?" Carlos had already made a decision, but it wouldn't hurt to know more about it.

"Professor Carlos, as you know, my boss is Lord Nyasaland. If it were someone else, he might not be interested in governing the desert, but for our Lord, what is important is not only money, but also for southern Africa. sense of responsibility." Carlos was full of pride, who wouldn't be proud of such a Lord Nyasaland.

"That's right, it's the sense of responsibility for southern Africa. We can't just ask for it without paying. The parliament is full of short-sighted guys. They can't really realize the value of the desert area. It's really not just a desert. I've already A diamond mine and a gold mine were discovered in Southwest Africa. If Lord Nyasaland is willing to invest in Southwest Africa, then I will give the diamond mine and gold mine to Lord Nyasaland free of charge. We can also plant and grow in the desert. Fast-growing fast-growing forests and fruits that can produce economic value. Many fruits will grow better in desert areas. We can use them to make wine or produce canned food. Fishing industries can also be developed in coastal areas. The fish populations there are amazing ——” Carlos talked endlessly when he mentioned the desert. According to Carlos, it was not a desert at all, but a treasure house containing countless wealth.

For some people, wealth can be found everywhere. The federal government sells the deserts in Southwest Africa by the square kilometer, and no one wants a rand per square kilometer. It only cost hundreds of thousands of rand to buy it.

Land ownership in southern Africa is permanent, and it can be passed down forever to future generations after you buy it.

"Professor Carlos is great. If possible, we can sign the contract now and then develop the deserts of Southwest Africa." Lincoln opened the briefcase he carried with him, and the contract had already been prepared.

Professor Carlos didn't hesitate, it was his trust in Roque, Carlos didn't even read the details of the contract, he signed his name in the signature column flamboyantly.

"A happy cooperation, Professor Carlos, you must be proud of today's decision." Lincoln congratulated Carlos. Although there was no spotlight, there was red wine and cigars, which was enough to celebrate.

Half a month later, a company called "Namib" was quietly born. In Nama language, "Namib" means "barren land".

On the day the Namib Company was established, it applied to the Federal Government of Southern Africa to purchase the desert areas in southern South West Africa and southwestern Cape.

In this area, the real desert is actually only [-] square kilometers. The remaining land is not unsuitable for development, but not so suitable for development. Certain transformations are needed to generate economic value.

For the sparsely populated southern Africa, the so-called "not so" suitable for development means that it is not suitable for development. The white people's standard of "suitable for development" is unbelievably low. As long as the seeds are sown, they still need to be managed. The land is basically not suitable for development. According to this standard, there is really not much land suitable for development.

As Lincoln promised, after the establishment of the Namib Company, it began to recruit immigrants and staff to go to Southwest Africa. However, unlike Ada’s imagination, not many Africans were willing to go to Southwest Africa, but many had just immigrated to the South African Chinese are willing to go to Southwest Africa.

According to Chinese standards, there is no land that is not suitable for cultivation. The former Bechuanaland Reserve was also considered unsuitable for cultivation and could only be used to develop animal husbandry. As a result, after Chinese immigrants came to Bechuanaland, Beichuan The state has now cultivated 120 million hectares of land.

In another time and space, in 2018, Bechuanaland has reclaimed 26.85 hectares of arable land.

ps: Chapter 3 is up, I heard that if there are more tickets, there will be Chapter 4—even if there is, don’t wait, it must be after 12 o’clock——
