Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 142

Let alone in 1900, even in the 21st century, miners are still a dangerous job.

But compared with being executed collectively, the gloomy and dark mine is not so unacceptable.

"Locke, you are right!" Phyllis was delighted.

"So I said, you need a gold mine, if you want them to live better." Nelson Holt is full of appreciation.

"thank you very much--"

"Thank you, thank you—"

"God bless you--"

The gold diggers were still crying, but their voices were filled with the happiness and joy of the rest of their lives. Yes, working in the mines is indeed very dangerous, but at least they have a chance to survive, and there is hope in their lives.

Mike came over very fast, and when he came, he brought a dozen security guards and a dozen open carriages. It seemed that De Beers Consolidated Mining Company really needed workers.

"Inspector Locke, hello." Mike looked happy. De Beers Unified Mining Company needs a large number of workers, as many as they need, not only for mining gold, but also for other mine owners to have no workers to hire.

"Hello, Mike, these people are gold diggers who stole gold. According to the regulations, they should all be shot, but I think you may need them more." Rock didn't pick out those yellow-skinned gold diggers. With Kevin here, Rock must hide his true thoughts and not give Kevin any chance.

"Thank you, Inspector Locke. In fact, even if we catch the gold diggers who steal gold, we don't shoot them all. Those guys who are shot are basically incapacitated. As long as they can work, we will Give full play to their value." Mike is the standard mine owner's thinking, and Kevin is just a shallow guy who echoes the others.

"It's really you, no wonder your De Beers Unified Mining Company's business is getting bigger and bigger--" Rock complimented casually, saying beautiful words without money.

As a result, the beautiful words had immediate effect. Mike took out a money bag, which was intended to count the heads. Hearing Roque's words, Mike laughed and handed the money bag directly to Roque.

"Inspector, this is hard work for the police officers." Mike winked.

It is said that it is for the police officers, but there is no one else around, so it is up to Roque to deal with it. Rock can share it with everyone if he wants to, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to take it all for himself.

"Thank you!" Rock knew it would be beneficial, but he didn't expect so much. The purse is still quite heavy, and there must be 200 pounds.

That's right, more than 100 gold diggers, one pound per person, at least more than 100 pounds.

This kind of gold digger is also different from hired workers. It is estimated that De Beers Unified Mining Company will not pay these gold diggers, so it is understandable that it is more expensive.

After sending Mike away, Rock called Martin over, and casually threw the money bag to Martin: "Split to the brothers—"

light and spacious!

Martin happily took the money bag over, counted the total amount, took out Rock's share first, and then divided it into 19 shares evenly.

Well, Martin is also very open. He didn't forget the staff of the Bureau of Mines, and gave each of them a share.

In fact, there are not many people in the Mining Bureau, including them, the average number is not much lower.

The key is this kind of intention. The staff of the Mining Bureau did not help in arresting those gold diggers who secretly mined gold.

Can't commit.

Rock thought that Kevin would not want it, but unexpectedly, Kevin really accepted it with peace of mind.

Really shameless.

This kind of person is the kind of person who can't eat enough and can't do anything. This kind of person can't take advantage of it enough, and it feels uncomfortable to suffer a little bit. , Too much to reveal, greedy, mercenary, gods hate ghosts, chickens hate dogs, but they still feel good about themselves.

Rock doesn't care about Kevin. It is estimated that after returning to Pretoria, Kevin should have no face to pester Phyllis. From now on, it's good for everyone to live in peace.

Of course, if Kevin is still entangled, Rock is not helpless. Rock wants to be jealous of Kevin's father, but Henry doesn't need to be jealous. At that time, Rock will have a lot of ways to make Kevin unable to eat.

In the evening, Rock came to Nelson Holt's room as scheduled.

Nelson Holt, the little old man, was very interesting. He prepared fruit and barbecue for Rock early, as well as an unopened bottle of whiskey.

Overjoyed, Rock ran to the bar to get vermouth and cherries, and made two Manhattans for Nelson Holt on the spot.

"Why is it called Manhattan?" Nelson Holt didn't know why it was called that.

"You can call it Cape Town if you like." Rock is very casual, it's just a name. If Nelson Holt wants to, it doesn't matter to call it Nelson.

"Cape Town is a good name." Nelson Holt didn't care either.

"Then call it Cape Town!" Rock decided, Cape Town is indeed more suitable than Manhattan, who makes Americans unpopular——

"What are you doing?" The door was slightly pushed open, and Phyllis poked her head in with a coquettish smile: "You two stole a drink and didn't call me!"

The little girl has a temper, and it is a tradition for the British to drink. When she was in Cape Town, Phyllis would occasionally drink some wine.

"Come on, come on—" Nelson Holt greeted with a smile.

Rock is busy pouring wine, Cape Town is not suitable for Phyllis, vermouth is not bad, this wine is sweet.

Nelson Holt was in high spirits after two glasses of Cape Town.

"Lock, if you want to buy gold mines, I can help you, but you have to promise me one request." Nelson Holt really wanted something.

"Tell me." Rock was noncommittal. Help is fine, but it depends on whether it will bring danger to Rock. If the risk outweighs the benefit, then Rock will refuse without hesitation.

"I have a son who is still studying in Cambridge. I hope you, Locke, can promise me that you can provide some help to my son when he needs it in the future." Nelson Holt's request was beyond Rock's unexpected.

"That's it?" Rock was still waiting for Nelson Holt's next words, but after waiting for a long time, Nelson Holt did not speak.

"That's it." Nelson Holt didn't drink too much, and the request wasn't too much, even a little too simple.

"I don't understand, Nelson, why didn't you just give the gold mine to your son?" Rock didn't understand why Nelson Holt did this. If it was someone else, [-]% would probably leave the gold mine to his son .

"Locke, my son, I understand that he may become a technical talent like me in the future, but he is definitely not a good businessman, nor will he become a good official, so the gold mine will not bring my son Wealth and freedom will only bring him danger." Nelson Holt smiled wryly, everyone is innocent, everyone wants a gold mine, but sometimes owning a gold mine is not a good thing.

Knowing son Moruo father.

　It's the [-]rd, and the editor-in-chief hasn't responded yet, so it's probably still on vacation——

　　The hard-working Yutou has no holidays, of course, because it is not on the shelves, and it has not been updated, but there will be two updates——
