Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1371

Another time-space South African company lost its administrative power over Nyasaland in 1904; in 1923 and 1924, it lost its administrative power over South Rhodesia and North Rhodesia successively, retaining only commercial monopoly power, until 1965 , the South African company ceased to exist.

Although the South African company in this time and space also lost Nyasaland, its strength has not decreased but increased compared to another time and space, and its individual strength is second to none in southern Africa.

In terms of overall economic strength, Nyasaland crushed Rhodesia, but Rock was smart enough to create a lot of companies instead of kneading all the companies together. The result was a lot of Nyasaland companies hidden in the The South African company is not as impressive, not even the Fawalt Steel Group.

When it comes to monopoly, apart from steel, in any field in southern Africa, there are two or three outstanding companies competing with each other. Favart Steel Group is the real trust in southern Africa. If Philip wants to split up, he should split up Favart first. Special Steel Group.

"After the split, the South African company will cease to exist and will be replaced by the Rhodesian company. Like Nyasaland, the Rhodesian company is responsible for investment, Rhodesian bank for finance, and Rhodesian food for canning. The Rhodesian Mineral Resources Company mines mines, the Rhodesian Railway Company—oh, the railway company is gone, and it will be called the Consolidated Railway Company in the future." Stoudemire laughed, his eyes were red.

The South African company was founded by Cecil Rhodes, but it will end in the hands of Stoudemire. One can imagine Stoudemire's mood.

"Cecile, there's no need for you to be like this—" Rock could understand Stoudemire's mood, remembering that when the old Cecil was dying, he asked Rock to take care of Stoudemire, and Rock felt uncomfortable.

"Lock, I don't want to embarrass you. The existence of the South African company was originally an accident, and it's time to end." Stoudemire took a deep breath, and his mood gradually calmed down.

It can be said that the South African company is a special historical product of a special period, and it can also be regarded as a historical legacy. It is not a bad thing to split up now.

"And you don't have to worry, even if the South African company is split, Rhodesia will still be the Rhodesia of the Rhodes family, and it will still be the best ally of Nyasaland." Desia has been in business for decades, and it still has the confidence.

"Well, didn't you always want to set up an arsenal? I'll sell you Milner's arsenal." Rock was generous. Since Stoudemire was so cooperative, Rock had to express it.

The military industry in southern Africa has always been under Rock's control, and the federal government cannot intervene.

A long time ago, Stoudemire wanted to get involved in the military industry, but unfortunately Rock did not agree, and Stoudemire has not been able to do so.

"Ha, do you want to sell non-performing assets? It's a good idea!" Stoudemire was not fooled. After the end of the World War, the military industry in southern Africa basically stagnated, and the arsenal was forced to transform into civilian goods, but the transformation did not take place. It didn't go well, and the situation in the military industry is very difficult now.

"Don't forget it--" Rock said calmly, completely letting go of his last trace of guard against Xiao Si.

If Stoudemire agreed to Rock's proposal just now, then Rock's evaluation of Stoudemire would drop by one level.

In the past, Rock and Stoudemire had an unwritten agreement. Stoudemire deeply cultivated the food industry, and Rock developed the military industry. They were clearly separated and would not interfere with each other.

Now if Stoudemire gets involved in the military industry, then Rock will have enough reasons to get involved in the food industry. It's really hard to say who will lose and who will take advantage.

"If you really want to reorganize assets, sell Nyasaland Heavy Industries to me." Stoudemire is also ambitious, and he doesn't want to be canning all day long.

"You want to build a car?" Rock was surprised, but he didn't expect Stoudemire to think so.

After the split of Nyasaland Automobile Group, Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industries were formed.

Rock's original intention is that the two companies compete with each other, promote each other and develop together.

It looks pretty good now, but the two companies are Rock Holdings, and they fight against themselves, and they always feel that they haven't played their full role.

"Your intention is correct, but it's a pity that Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industry have not done enough. Haven't you noticed? Nyasaland Automobile Group is mainly cars and trucks, and Nyasaland Heavy Industry is Off-road and pickup trucks, they are not really competing, in fact, they have reached a tacit understanding." Stoudemire, a bystander, knows that when brothers fight, they will definitely not kill them.

Rock was silent, thinking about it carefully, it was really the case.

"Okay, I'll sell Nyasaran Heavy Industries to you." Rock made up his mind.

"Hahahaha, how much is it?" Stoudemire generously took out the check book from his pocket and threw it in front of Rock, letting Rock ask for the price.

"Do you have a rand on you?" Rock smiled. He would never forget that Stoudemire sold Nyasaland to him for one pound.

That was the beginning of Rock's real fortune.

Stoudemire's eyes turned red instantly.

Entering June, several major events happened in the three northern states that could change the future of southern Africa.

First, the federal government took the lead to unite all the railway companies in southern Africa to form the United Railway Company to reorganize the southern African railways.

Then the Rhodes family, which has been entrenched in Rhodesia for decades, decided to split the South African company into 12 independent companies that are not affiliated with each other. The last giant in southern Africa that existed in the colonial era declared end.

Then Rock decided to sell part of the business of Nyasaland Heavy Industries and Nyasaland Aviation to Rhodesia Automobile and Rhodesia Aviation under the name of Stoudemire. The monopoly of the aviation industry has also come to an end. Rhodesia Motors announced on July [-] that it will launch more than ten brands including cars, off-road, pickups, trucks, buses, and agricultural vehicles by the end of the year, and Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaran Heavy Industries compete in all directions.

"You and Cecil put me on fire—" Henry was very dissatisfied with Rock and Stoudemire. After the split of the South African company, the only monopoly in southern Africa was Fawalt Steel Group.

"No, don't think too much. Australian companies and Iron Four have decided to mine iron ore in Australia and Brazil. Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. has also established a subsidiary company specializing in the production of special steel. Your good days are coming to an end. It's gone." Rock is fierce, the three giants in southern Africa, the two giants are making continuous progress, and Henry can't stand still.

"You guys, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Fawalt Iron and Steel Group has just discovered a huge iron ore and aluminum mine in French Guinea. Do you want to develop it together?" Henry was actually not too worried. After 20 years of iron ore mining, the output and grade have been declining, and the mining cost is gradually increasing. Henry also has to look for new mineral resources.

French Guinea has the largest aluminum and iron mines in the world, a situation that the French government does not grasp.

However, at the beginning of the 20th century, a large-scale anti-French armed uprising broke out in French Guinea, and it has not subsided until now, and it is not easy to mine mines.

"No, as long as you're happy." Rock didn't participate. The iron mines in the Iron Four Corners and Pilbara areas are all on the shallow surface and can be mined directly in the open pit. Rock didn't go to the French colony to join in the fun.

To put it bluntly, mining iron ore in French Guinea now is tantamount to a blood transfusion to France. Although France has replaced its ambassador to the League of Nations, Roque is a vengeful person. When France's colonial rule in Guinea completely collapses, France will give up. After Guinea, it is not too late for Rock to mine Guinea's iron ore and aluminum ore.

"No, I'm the uncle of Gavin and Alvin, you can't let it go." Henry was dumbfounded for a moment, without Rock's help, even if there was a gold mountain buried under the ground of French Guinea, Henry couldn't dig it out.

The most powerful force in Rock's hands is not Rand Bank, nor Nyasaland Corporation, but paramilitary organizations such as Umbrella and Delta.

It should be said that Delta is not close at present. Although Umbrella is a security company in name, in fact there are tens of thousands of registered mercenaries, and it is easy to pull up a division or two at any time.

The current situation in French Guinea is very chaotic. To develop the iron mines in French Guinea, it is necessary to repair the railway first and ensure that the railway is not destroyed. This requires a strong armed force to do so.

"Seriously, I suggest you move Fawalt's factories to other places. Your factories are too polluted. Now even Pretoria has been affected. If you want me to say, just move directly to Walvis Bay Go to the side, the iron ore is smelted on the spot after getting off the ship, which saves time and labor and can save costs, what do you think?" Rock didn't care, Henry has been angry with others these years, and he has to accumulate some virtue for the children.

Fawalt is Henry's fief, and the federal government has no right to interfere, which gives Henry the greatest convenience.

For a long time, Rock has always paid attention to environmental protection and minimized environmental pollution when setting up factories in Nyasaland.

Therefore, although the heavy industry in Nyasaland is developed, the pollution caused by it is not serious, which also indirectly improves the level of environmental protection in Nyasaland. Nyasaland University has now opened a major in environmental protection to conduct in-depth research on environmental protection .

Compared with Rock, Henry was unscrupulous in Fawalt. He not only used African-American workers at will to save costs, but also did not consider environmental protection issues at all.

In Fawalt, the environmental pollution is very serious. When Rock passed by the train, he could clearly feel that the air quality in Fawalt is very bad. The sky is always gray and the visibility is very low.

"I don't need money to relocate the factory? What about this part of the cost?" Henry was blinded by profit, and the first thing he thought of was the cost.

This can't be blamed on Henry. A lot of heavy industries under Rock's name all need Fawalt Steel Group to provide raw materials for production. With the relationship between Rock and Henry, Henry can't make too much money, so what can he do if he doesn't keep costs down.

After all, there are tens of thousands of people who rely on Fawalt Steel Group for food.
