Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1652 It's all just rice, not shabby
Lindsay is the son of Phyllis's cousin's family. Like Arnold, who has disappeared for hundreds of chapters, he was also abandoned by the Matilda family, and he became a "remnant" like William.

With the power of the Matilda family in southern Africa, there will always be people with ulterior motives around Lindsay. They all hope to get some contact with the Matilda family through Lindsay, but unfortunately few people have succeeded.

Philip's request to Lindsay is very simple, as long as Lindsay does not cause trouble, the Matilda family certainly does not need to worry about money. Relying on the protection of the Matilda family, Lindsay is in Pretoria quite popular.

Of course, the "welcome" here refers to certain specific groups, which definitely won't work with Rock.

"How is Lord Nyasaland? The last time I saw him was at the Palace of Justice in Church Square. When the new Palace of Justice was completed, Lord Nyasaland didn't even invite me. He must have forgotten me—" "A half-true and half-false complaint from a poor family who doesn't know which family, sounds familiar to Rock, but it's actually not very good.

If you really want to have a good relationship, when the Palace of Justice is officially opened, you will definitely be able to get an invitation from Roque.

"Uncle Locke's work is very busy, he doesn't have time to eat at home, and Aunt Phyllis often complains about him—" Lindsay's face was pale, and her body was as thin as a piece of paper, which could be blown away by the wind.

He seems to go in and out of the Justice Palace frequently, and he can stay at Roque's house at any time. I don't know how good his relationship with Roque is.

In fact, that's it. The Matilda family is a big family with many branches. Lindsay and Philip are distant relatives, and the relationship is actually not that good.

At least not good enough to be able to enter and leave the Palace of Justice at any time.

Of course, for many people, having this relationship is enough to make people enviable.

During this period, the hottest topic in Pretoria was the Commonwealth Games held in the middle of the year. People with a vision had already taken action, hoping to make a fortune through the Commonwealth Games, and Patrick was no exception.

"Honorable Matilda, if you can get the sponsorship of the Commonwealth Games, then I promise to make you a lot of money." Patrick looked very smart, but he did some stupid things.

There is no problem with this title. Since they are relatives, strictly speaking, Lindsay also has the right to inherit Roque's title.

Of course, considering the blood relationship, the succession may be ranked outside the top [-], and there is probably no hope in this life.

"Mr. Patrick, Aunt Phyllis often reminds me that I should not interfere with Uncle Locke's work." Lindsay talked about Rock and Phyllis in every sentence, reminding others all the time.

"That's a pity--" Patrick didn't have much regrets, this matter was a matter of debate.

Members of the nobility are really smart if they are smart, and stupid if they are stupid, and their IQ is about the same as mentally retarded, so don't place too much hope on them.

After all, the circle of nobles is too small, and the marriage of close relatives that has lasted for thousands of years has caused extremely serious consequences. You can see how many European royal families suffer from hemophilia.

"Patrick, if you're really interested, we can join forces to set up a company to obtain the sponsorship status of the Commonwealth Games in a proper way—" Someone immediately came up with an idea, and this is what this group of nobles are best at.

If these nobles are really allowed to do business, they really can't do it. Neville is already a leader, and he has to rely on the family's rights to do business. Without the protection of the family, the company will go bankrupt in minutes.

But aristocratic families also need a lot of money to maintain the so-called "decency" of the aristocrats.

Therefore, basically a big family with a little reputation will hire professional managers to do business, and the main business is to rely on power to make a fortune.

The so-called "through legitimate means" actually hoped that Lindsay would go to Roque and get a sponsorship status. He could manage it by himself or dump it out. Anyway, he would definitely not lose money.

"I'm not interested. I still have to work hard to restore the glory of the Qajar Dynasty. I don't have time for business." Patrick's words are all about doctrine, but his heart is about business.

"Hahahaha, little Lindsay, let me introduce you to a few ladies, they have admired you for a long time—" Earl Sergey ignored Patrick, the group of "remnants" also has classes, Sergey He was the real Earl, but Patrick was a liar, so when Earl Sergey came over, Patrick immediately stepped aside.

If you dare not retreat, you will be thrown out in minutes. Don't expect the real nobles to have a good temper. They only show their so-called "gentlemanly demeanor" to people with similar status, or people with higher status than them.

Note that it is gentlemanly, not education.

Their upbringing is also to watch people order dishes.

The ladies Earl Sergey mentioned are those from real aristocratic families. Of course, their situation is generally not very good. The most tragic ones are even reduced to the level of being housekeepers and servants of great nobles. With every change of power, Such things are not uncommon.

When she heard "Miss", Lindsay's eyes lit up immediately, and she followed Earl Sergey happily.

"Look at his small body, sooner or later, this guy will die on a woman—"

"Normally, he is not an important figure in the Matilda family, just an insignificant role—"

Behind Lindsay, several noble youths were talking about it, but it was a pity that Lindsay couldn't hear it.

"I think I'm going back, thank you for inviting William, let's have tea together some other day." Coubertin couldn't stay for a minute, these guys still have the face to say "remnants", they are simply from the aristocratic class." shame".

No, it's moths!
"Aren't you going to stay for a while? The banquet hasn't officially started yet—" William also wanted to leave, and pretended to stay.

"No, I still have something to do when I go back. I'm old and lack of energy—" Coubertin felt the smell of decay in the air, as if he had returned to medieval Europe.

Yes, medieval Europe is so hopeless, with no light in sight.

"Then let's go together. It's better to go to the bar and have a drink than to stay here."

"Don't you need to say hello to the master?"

"Hehe, no need, I have already signed the autograph book——"

William didn't care, as long as the process was over, William didn't like those gay men and women in the hall either.

Leaving the manor and taking the car provided by the Rhodesia Hotel to Coubertin, Coubertin seemed to be able to hear the looming music and the laughter of those people.

"I thought Pretoria was perfect—" Coubertin smiled, this kind of Pretoria was more acceptable to Coubertin.

As the saying goes, it is down to earth.

"How is it possible? Every city has its dark side, and its existence is reasonable. For their homeland, they have lost their role, but for southern Africa, they are the best tourists, constantly creating Consumption, without people like us, Yitnor’s income would be [-]% lower.” William is also weather-beaten, and the popularity of them in southern Africa is actually limited.

For those who have power, the loss of power is the most terrible thing.

So there are many dynasties that have been overthrown. Even if there is no hope, they have to form a government in exile in other countries to maintain their so-called "status", just like people like Patrick.

In fact, they also know that rights are gone if they are gone, and if they want to regain them, the hope is extremely slim.

But you can't do nothing, otherwise it is no different from salted fish, so alcohol and certain things become the best placebo, and countless people are addicted to these things.

"Then why don't you buy a house in Pretoria?" Coubertin couldn't give William life advice, and William didn't need it.

"It doesn't matter, you may not know that when Nyasaland Heavy Industry was listed, I bought a little stock, and it has risen a lot over the years—" William finally showed a sincere smile on his face. This is probably his most recent few years. proud thing.

The enterprises under Rock's name are now independently operated and responsible for their own profits and losses. When they need funds, they have to find their own way.

Finance is a good thing. It depends on how you use it. Britain has dominated the world for hundreds of years, which is closely related to British financial hegemony.

Rock will certainly not ignore the power of finance. In the past few years, the city of Los Angeles has developed rapidly in terms of finance, and it has already faintly rivaled London and New York.

People like William have received strict elite education, and naturally they will not sit still, so stocks have become the best way to invest.

"That's really congratulations, you're a smart guy—" Coubertin laughed loudly, finance has indeed become very popular these years, and its scale far exceeds that of other investment markets.

There are many common investment methods, such as stocks and bonds, art, real estate, jewelry, etc., are all good investment methods.

However, for William, there are not many options to choose from. After all, William doesn't know which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

Back at the Rhodesia Hotel, Latour was wandering back and forth at the door of Coubertin.

"Damn the rain, it still doesn't stop—" Coubertin greeted in a very British way, and the weather is the most common way to start.

"My lord, Amsterdam sent a telegram asking us to explain why the right to host the Olympic Games was given to Pretoria without competition?" Latour reported the bad news to Coubertin with a mournful face.

Only then did Coubertin remember that he and Latour hoped that Pretoria and Amsterdam would compete with each other.

After all, only when there is competition can the Olympic Committee gain something.

Unlike members of the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee, Coubertin, Latour, and other Olympic Organizing Committee staff also had to eat.
