Chapter 138

If Roque knew Hoover's aspirations, then Roque would answer sternly: It is really necessary!

The so-called "emphasis on kindness and power", lack of that aspect, will leave hidden dangers. People like Hoover are used to being a foreigner in the Qing Dynasty and lack sufficient respect for the Chinese. If Hoover is not impressed, Hoover will not Will obey Rock's orders.

This is the best way now. Hoover has already seen Roque's coldness. Even if Roque shows a little kindness now, he will be most grateful to Hoover.

Some people are assholes!

What's more, what Roque wants is not pure miners. Roque's requirements are different from those of De Beers Unified Mining Company. Mining companies double the price.

Ask someone to send Hoover back to the room, and Rock asks the waiter to deliver the lunch to Phyllis to the room.

As soon as the waiter left, Martin approached stealthily: "Boss, the people from De Beers Consolidated Mining Company are here—"

De Beers Unified Mining Company!

Rock turned around and saw two managers in suits and leather shoes standing at the door of the restaurant, one of them was Mike.

Rock nodded with a smile, and Martin immediately asked someone to come over.

"Hello, Inspector Locke, I'm Aiden Owen, general manager of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company's Johannesburg branch—" Aiden offered his hand.

"Hi Aiden, I'm Locke." Rock shook hands with Aiden and Mike respectively. At this time, stop showing off the Pretoria Police Station. It's unnecessary. Aiden can find the door in such a short time. Maybe they have already found out the details of Rock.

In Cape, De Beers Consolidated Mining Company does have this energy.

Otherwise, Aiden would not be so polite to Roque. After all, there are many inspectors in Cape, but Roque is the only inspector who can kill Joubert in Cape.

"Sorry inspector, our client has caused you trouble—" Aiden didn't sit down, looking at the surrounding environment, Aiden was a little hesitant: "Can you change a place, it's so hot here—"

Is it hot?

Rock didn't feel it at all, but it's good to change the place, Mike still has a box in his hand——

Then change the place, Jinshan Hotel has all internal organs, and there is a small bar next to the restaurant. It is not yet business hours, and the bartenders are not at work, so it is very clean.

"I'm sorry about the morning, Mr. Rhodes asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, and invite you to visit De Beers Consolidated Mining Company at an appropriate time. If we can have more contacts, then the morning It's not going to happen at all." Aiden also played both soft and hard ways.

The "Mr. Rhodes" that Eden refers to is not former Prime Minister Cecil Rhodes, but his son Cecil Rhodes Jr., who is now the general manager of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company.

After escaping from Kimberley, Cecil Rhodes has been in poor health. Last month, Cecil Rhodes was questioned by Congress in London. Congress is investigating Cecil Rhodes and Was there any direct connection to the outbreak of the Second Boer War.

If Congress can prove that Cecil Rhodes was directly responsible for the outbreak of the Second Boer War, then Cecil Rhodes may have bad luck. 44 regular troops were mobilized, costing more than [-] million pounds overall. Although the expeditionary force had occupied the Transvaal and Orange, the Boers did not surrender. The end of the war was far away, and someone had to be responsible for all of this.

That's why Aiden came to visit Rock on his own initiative.

At this critical moment, Cecil Rhodes does not want the backyard to catch fire. Rock may not be able to deal a fatal blow to De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, but if Rock wants to trouble De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, it is not It is impossible, after all, in the Pretoria Police Station, Rock is considered a senior official, and the De Beers Consolidated Mining Company needs the cooperation of the Pretoria Police Station to maintain law and order in the mine.

What's more, in order to investigate whether Cecil Rhodes is at fault, the British Parliament is likely to send an investigation team to Cape. If Roque fell into trouble at that time, it might really be fatal to Cecil Rhodes one strike.

When Aiden was talking, Rock was pouring wine, and when Aiden finished speaking, Rock didn't respond in a hurry, just looked at Aiden with a smile.

Aiden didn't speak either.

After ten seconds of silence——

Aiden sighed and nodded at Mike.

Mike put the suitcase in his hand on the bar in front of Rock and gently opened it.

In the suitcase were two golden rhinos—

"Wow--" Rock expressed appropriate surprise, but not too much surprise.

The density of gold is quite high. If the two rhinos were solid, they would weigh about ten kilograms.

It sounds like ten kilograms is a lot, but converted into pounds, it is more than 300.

Want to buy Rock for more than 1000 pounds?

Look down on people, right?

What was De Beers Consolidated Mining's earnings last year?

Over £1000 million!

Seeing that Rock's eyes were still cold, Aiden gritted his teeth and took out a check from his pocket: "These two small toys are a gift from Mr. Rhodes to Inspector Locke. They are gifts from Mr. Rhodes to Faye. Miss Liz's apology, I hope Miss Phyllis can forgive Mr. Hoover's rude behavior."

Rock glanced casually, 5000 pounds!

This sincerity is quite enough, Rock smiled and toasted: "Mr. Hoover is in his room."

Aiden and Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief. If 5000 pounds can't satisfy Rock, then Aiden and Mike don't know what to do.

In fact, it is easy to handle, but killing a senior inspector directly is equivalent to directly declaring war on the government. What's more, whether it can be killed is another matter. Rock is the one who can kill Joubert.

"After a while, we will also open the branch office to Pretoria, and we will have to walk more at that time—" Aiden finally let go of the big stone in his heart. This is the rampant development of De Beers Consolidated Mining Company. If the relationship is not in place, it must be due to lack of sincerity.

"It's easy to say, after a while, Johannesburg will also set up a police station. There are many opportunities for us to deal with each other." Rock also reciprocated. If you have money, everyone can earn it. There is no need to be like a hedgehog and explode at the first touch.

Several people drank a glass of wine together, Aiden and Mike went to Hoover, and Rock went to Phyllis with the golden rhinoceros and a check.

Now that Aiden pointed out that the check was for Phyllis, Roque would not take it privately, and Aiden would not spare the money if it were not for the sake of Phyllis' aristocratic background.

Don't forget the well digger when you drink water!

Phyllis was eating lunch, and when she saw the golden rhinoceros in Rock's hand, she almost bit her tongue.

"Where did it come from?" Like Henry, Phyllis is also a money fanatic, especially when it comes to gold, and she has no resistance at all. Rock suspects that if Aiden just gave Phyllis the rhinoceros directly, then Phyllis might be Forgive Hoover directly.

Then there will be no later checks.

"De Beers Consolidated Mining Company gave it to me, this one is for you—" Rock handed the check to Phyllis.

Phyllis didn't even look at the check: "Let's change—"

This--

Is it so generous?

 It's May Day, I wish brothers a happy holiday——
