Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1372 The Gift of Fate

In fact, in terms of environmental pollution, Fawalt Steel Group has been under tremendous pressure.

The straight-line distance from Fawalt to Pretoria is less than 150 kilometers. Rock and Henry chose to set up heavily polluting enterprises such as steel factories and cement factories in Fawalt. It is also because Fawalt is very close to Pretoria and Johannesburg, and it is also on the traffic line from Pretoria to Salisbury, which is conducive to transportation.

Rock did not expect that southern Africa would develop so fast. The pollution of Fawalt had now affected Pretoria, and relocation was imperative.

Rock gave Henry two choices, one is Hentis Bay near Whale Bay, and the other is Elizabeth Bay in the south of Dias State, both of which are located in Dias State, along the Atlantic coast, with convenient transportation and away from the core urban agglomeration No matter how serious the pollution is, no one will care.

It cannot be said that in the past, Fawalt did not pay attention to environmental protection. One was that the cost was limited, and the other was that the technical level was not up to standard.

Now that Fawalt has completed the original accumulation, and the technical level of pollution control in southern Africa is also constantly improving. The new factory is also a new opportunity. If Fawalt wants to have greater competitiveness, it must use more High standards are required of ourselves.

"That is to say, no matter what, you just kicked me to the Atlantic Ocean—" Henry had a resentful expression, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned from beginning to end.

"Don't say it so badly, I'm doing it for your own good—" Rock is really not trying to kill a donkey, but for sustainable development: "—our companies are actually guilty of original sin, and Fawalt has been exhausted all these years How many people have been killed, how many people have been infected with serious diseases, you know better than me—"

There are some things that Rock can't say too clearly.

Henry is also a dark ghost. In order to pursue profits and reduce costs as much as possible, he can only squeeze those Africans who work for Fawalt.

Rock really didn't know how many Africans Fawalt had exhausted over the years, and Henry didn't necessarily know either.

However, Rock knew that in the mines of Fawalt Iron and Steel Group, the workers did not even have the most basic protection, and the damage to their bodies could be imagined.

Southern Africa imposed a five-year working time limit to keep Africans out of the country.

This regulation is the most resolutely implemented by Fawalt Steel Group, because no one can work in Fawalt Steel Group for more than five years.

"Lock, it's meaningless for you to say that—" Henry was very dissatisfied. Is this to settle accounts after autumn?

"Thinking too much about Henry, I just want to tell you that we have to do something, and we can't wait for trouble to come to us before we act." Rock was not so ruthless, and the relationship between him and Henry was one that was prosperous and that was damaged.

Henry sat on the chair and hummed dissatisfiedly, dissatisfied with Rock's explanation.

It's not bad, Henry didn't turn his face directly, so we can still communicate.

Rock didn't talk nonsense, got up and went to the window and pushed it open.

The lights outside the window were bright, and the cool evening breeze refreshed one’s spirits. There were faint singing voices, children were playing, couples were taking a walk, businesses were trying their best to attract customers, and the guards at the gate of the Ministry of National Defense were changing their guards.

Guotai Minan!

"Henry, do you still remember what Pretoria looked like when we first came to Pretoria?" Rock now has more and more nostalgic time, and feels that his mentality is similar to that of Adelaide.

Now Roque has become the representative of the conservatives in southern Africa, and Philip is the vanguard of the reformers.

"Of course, I will never forget—" Henry came to Rock and looked at the bustling brocade outside the window, as if in a lifetime.

The current Pretoria has actually surpassed most cities in Rock's memory in terms of urban construction.

It’s not an exaggeration. There are no urban villages or slums in Pretoria. There are almost no telephone poles on the ground. Biggonia trees are everywhere in the city. The number of parks is surprising, especially the air quality. It deserves to be called the "City of Gardens".

"I remember we discussed this issue before, first solve the problem of whether it is there, and then whether it is good or not." Rock is still very proud. This city built from the ruins has become a business card in southern Africa.

Rock didn't wait for Henry to answer, and continued on his own: "——Now is the time to solve it. I just said that our companies are all guilty of original sin. No one dares to attack us now. No, all the gifts of fate have already been secretly priced—”

"Wow, Locke, why did you suddenly become so philosophical?" Henry's reaction was not normal.

Rock also doesn't know if Stefan Zweig has written "Queen of the Broken Head" now.

But it doesn't matter, guys like Henry probably don't pay attention to literary works.

"I mean, we can't just leave the scarred pits, the pungent waste water, and the gray, dark air—remove the factory, plant trees in Favart, and slowly restore the environment , you don’t want to leave Henry with a devastated Fawalt—” Rock had no choice but to quote a classic sentence, but it’s a pity that he talked with a duck.

The "Henry" that Rock said was Henry's eldest son "Little Henry" and the first heir to Henry's title.

"Don't mention that kid, I really want to beat him to death now—" Henry's expression was ugly, and every family had a hard-to-recite scripture.

Henry and Lacey had four children after marriage, and little Henry was the only boy, so he was naturally doted on.

On Rock's side, there is Gavin who is ineffective and Alvin, and the trumpet who is useless and has a trumpet.

Henry didn't have many choices. If little Henry didn't succeed, all Henry could do was to let little Henry get married and have children early, and then pour his hopes on his grandson.

Then it must be ensured that little Henry can give birth to enough sons.

Rock rolled his eyes depressed, chatting with Henry was very painful, this guy has a very special ability, he can always easily divert the topic.

Commonly known as "crooked building".

"Come on, make it easy, don't talk about it all day like an old man." Henry is not stubborn, Pretoria is now positioned as a tourist city, and the requirements for the environment are getting higher and higher, and Philip probably has no less Beat Henry.

After Henry was settled, Rock would call Li Li and Green Elsie over to give him some advice. These two were the general managers of Nyasaland Heavy Industries and Nyasaland Automobile respectively.

"The situation is like this. Now you have real competitors, not only Rhodesian cars, but American Ford is about to enter southern Africa. Are you ready?" Rock still pinned on Li Li and Green Elsie. Great hope, Nyasaran Motors is not a late start, the foundation is also very good, and it has advantages in cost and technology. If it can't beat Ford in this way, it really can't be justified.

Green Elsey is a professional manager from France with outstanding ability and quick thinking. The layout of Washington Motors in the United States was planned by Green Elsey.

After graduating from Nyasaland University, Li Li joined Rand Bank and performed very well. He was promoted from a staff member to a vice president all the way. He just parachuted into Nyasaland Heavy Industry as the general manager earlier this year.

Li Li is also the first Chinese to hold the position of general manager of a company under Rock's name.

"No problem, neither Rhodesia Motors nor American Ford can shake the position of Nyasaran Motors." Green Elsey is confident that Nyasaran Motors and Nyasaran Heavy Industries used to be brothers Fighting, now we finally have to unite to defend against the enemy.

"We have just sold part of our business to a South African company, and some technicians have been poached by the South African company with high salaries. Now the cash flow is quite sufficient—" Li Li is facing more difficulties, but there are still advantages. In off-road vehicles and In terms of pickup trucks, Nyasaland Heavy Industries has accumulated enough experience and has enough patents in its hands, earning millions in patent licensing fees every year.

Don't underestimate patents. Southern Africa attaches great importance to intellectual property rights. If infringement occurs, if the circumstances are serious, it is enough to cause a large-scale enterprise to go bankrupt.

Even with the relationship between Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industries, if Nyasaland Automobile wants to use Nyasaland Heavy Industries' patents, it needs to pay high patent fees to obtain patent authorization.

It is precisely because of Nyasaland's emphasis on patents that there has been a technological blowout over the years.

At Nyasaland University and Nyasaland scientific research institutions, it is common to get rich overnight with a certain patent. Many university professors or scientific researchers can live comfortably for a lifetime with a single patent. This is why more and more scientific research talents One of the important reasons for emigrating to Southern Africa.

"I warn you, don't try to poach our group's scientific research personnel—" Green Elsie was full of vigilance. The flow of personnel between Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industry was already very frequent.

Li Li smiled and said nothing, as long as the law does not prohibit it, the flow of personnel is normal, as long as the secrets of the original unit are not leaked.

In this regard, the Nyasaland Enterprise has already reached a consensus that a scientific researcher who casually leaks the secrets of the original unit will be collectively rejected by all scientific research institutions.

If you think about it, you can understand that if a researcher of Nyasaland Automobile jumps to Nyasaland Heavy Industry, and leaks some undisclosed technologies of Nyasaland Automobile to Nyasaland Heavy Industry, then if this employee If the change is poached by Ford, then the technology of Nyasaran Heavy Industries will also be leaked to Ford.

What's more, many technologies are useless even if they are obtained, and they still have to pay the patent licensing fees that should be paid. If you don't want to pay, be careful. The Southern African tax department and Brad's office are not idlers.

"No——" Li Li has a plan in mind. Nyasaland Heavy Industry started late and has insufficient technical accumulation, so it has a deeper and closer cooperation with Nyasaland University.

With tens of thousands of teachers and students from Nyasaland University, Nyasaland Heavy Industry does not need to go to Nyasaland Automobile to poach people.

ps: Regarding the population of southern Africa, a lot has been laid before. After the World War, a large number of European immigrants came to southern Africa, so the population of southern Africa has increased rapidly. Besides, the proportion of the population, the proportion of Chinese can not exceed 80.00%. Yes, the proportion of book Chinese is about 60.00%.
