Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 174 Explosion

The ancestors taught us: it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, but it is difficult to paint the bones.

The ancestors also said: You only talk about one-third of the time when you meet people, and you can't give up all your heart.

So when you don’t know the other person well enough, if you dig your heart and lungs at every turn, then when you are sold out, don’t blame the world and people’s hearts. You can only blame yourself for not having deep experience in the world, being too stupid and naive, not enough. Learn about this society.

Sam hasn't gained all of Rock's trust yet, so Rock will have reservations in front of Sam.

Sam is very clever, he is obedient and listens to the sound, and he understands the meaning of Rock immediately.

"The gold mines have been normal these days, the workers are working hard, the profit margins are rising steadily, the Honorable Arnold Matilda is studying hard, and he put forward an innovative proposal last week, in order to further motivate the workers Divide the workers on duty into different groups, and then give them appropriate rewards and punishments according to the amount of tasks they complete. I heard that Lord Philip appreciates this suggestion—” Sam was careful in his words, and he could clearly feel that , also has reservations about Rock.

This is a rat droppings spoiled a pot of soup, the apparently simple superior-subordinate relationship was stirred up into Romance of the Three Kingdoms by a guy who failed to accomplish anything but failed to do so.

However, this seems to be able to prove from the side that His Excellency Arnold Matilda is quite talented in Gongdou.

Well, this title is really disgusting, but this is the correct way to address the heir to the baron. Rock, an ignorant guy, used to be directly "Henry" and "Phyllis". In fact, the correct address should be It was "Honor the Honorable Henry Matilda", and "Honor the Honorable Phyllis Matilda".

It's not right, it's only used in the third person, and it's actually "Mr" and "Miss" in person, and there is no difference.

"How to punish?" Rock's focus was not on the address.

"First, rank the different groups according to the amount of tasks completed, and then the last one will deduct the extra meal of the day, which will be used as a reward and rewarded to others-this is currently done for the time being, in the future, honorable Arnold Marty Your Excellency Erda is also planning to offer a part of his salary as a reward." Sam's expression was calm, and Roque couldn't see Sam's real thoughts.

"What do you think?" Since he couldn't see it, Rock asked directly.

"I don't think it's very good—" Sam didn't evade this time, and put forward his opinion directly: "—Actually, the previous humanized management was already very good. The workers worked hard, and there was no conflict with the management. The atmosphere in the venue is normal, and everyone is working hard for their work—after the introduction of the competition system, the basic treatment of workers has changed. Some people work hard all day, but because of their different physical fitness, the amount of work done is not enough, so We lost the basic benefits of extra meals, which artificially created conflicts among workers, and if things go on like this, our humanized management may become meaningless.”

In fact, such a long passage can be explained with a simple sentence "don't worry about scarcity but worry about unevenness".

Basic benefits and piece-rate salary are like basic salary and bonus, limited to different personal conditions. Some people will work hard to chase bonuses, while some people are already very happy when they get basic salary. Arnold’s way is to cancel basic salary. It all adds up to the bonus.

Well, it's quite similar to something——

It seems that the salary of some workers may increase, but the "increase" here is based on the premise of harming the income of other people, so this is not "innovation" at all, it is outright self-righteous, nothing new It seems that you can't show your own excellence, add drama to yourself, can it be added to this level?

"Well, what else did he do?" Rock didn't want to mention Arnold's name, he lowered his head and wrote on the paper.

"—the number of times to go to the financial department is relatively frequent." Sam finally mentioned the financial department.

Scarlett works in the finance department.

Rock's writing hand paused, and then continued: "You continue to say—"

This small pause, in the eyes of a caring person, can already explain a lot of things.

Although there is innocence between Rock and Scarlett, in the eyes of others, can Rock, a man who is not married, not even engaged, and has a criminal record, be able to stand guarding a beautiful woman like Scarlett?

If you're a man, you can't help it.

What's more, Scarlett is still Rock's financial staff at the Matilda Gold Mine. I don't need to repeat how important this position is. If Rock doesn't trust Scarlett, he won't put Scarlett in such an important position at all. position.

And there seems to be only one possibility for a single man to trust a divorced woman to this extent.

Sam is also a man, so he can push others by himself, and Sam immediately thinks that Gaite is the focus of Rock: "My dear—"

"Just say the name." Rock was impatient.

Sam raised his eyebrows and continued to remain expressionless: "Mr. Arnold often goes to the financial office to withdraw cash, but the amount of each withdrawal is not high, one hundred pounds, or 150 pounds, because the amount is relatively small, so I did not interfere, but Mr. Arnold's withdrawals are relatively frequent, and he has been working in the mine for less than a month, but he has already withdrawn more than 300 pounds."

"What does he want so much money for?" Rock was not curious. Over 1000 pounds these days is really not a small figure. Rock has become the chief of the Johannesburg police station. The basic annual salary plus the colonial allowance is just over 900 pounds a year. The annual salary, the money that Arnold took away, has been Rock's salary for more than a year.

Of course, it's just a superficial salary.

"Not sure, but it should be sent to London. Mr. Arnold often communicates with London by telegram." Sam didn't know enough about the situation.

Rock nodded. This problem is not serious. Rock doesn't want to confront Arnold head-on. After transferring Scarlett from the gold mine, Rock will ask Ada to send a male financial officer. grams of eyeliner.

The next day, Rock and Phyllis took the train to Pretoria together.

Rock is going to Pretoria to report to Henry, and Phyllis is going to Pretoria to visit her third brother. If you want to say who is most dissatisfied with Baron Philip coming to Johannesburg, I am afraid it is Phyllis In the past, Phyllis was the little princess of Roque and Henry, who wanted wind and rain, but now Phyllis is a good girl of Baron Philip's family, and she can't go out at ordinary times.

Thinking of her baron father, Phyllis felt depressed.

Rock is not in the mood to make the little girl happy at the moment. Arnold, the time bomb, will explode sooner or later. Rock must communicate with Henry in time, and Arnold must not affect the relationship between Rock and Henry.

"Why don't you talk?" Rock ignored the little girl, and the little girl came to the door by herself.

This really isn't playing hard to get.

"Busy—" Rock started to work as soon as he got in the car, and he was still sorting out the materials while talking.

"Business is an excuse?" Phyllis was even more dissatisfied.

The little girl is still immature after all, if this is Ada, even if she doesn't help, at least she won't make trouble.

But this innocence is even more rare, Rock finally put down the information in his hand: "There are two birds in the tree, the hunter shot one and killed one, how many are left?"

Rock doesn't blush at all, the joke is a bit old, but in 1900——

What is a joke?

"Why do you want to fight?" Phyllis's brain circuit is obviously different from that of Roque.

"Because hunters want to eat it." Rock's answer was straightforward.

"As soon as you hear it, you know that you have never hunted before. Hunters don't know how to shoot birds. If you shoot them, the birds are smashed to pieces. What do you eat?" Phyllis has rich experience.

"Then what are you talking about?" Rock felt like he was going to collapse.

"The tongue of the eland antelope and the liver of the ostrich are the best!" The little girl instantly became a gourmet.

"Can the eland and ostrich climb trees?" Rock had forgotten the original joke, and discussed this issue in a serious manner.

"Why do they climb trees?" The little girl from the noble family has no restraint, and her fighting power is also leveraged.

After carrying the bar all the way to Pretoria, Phyllis was in a much better mood when she got off the car.

"I'm staying in Pretoria, not going back to Johannesburg—" Phyllis had come for help.

"Don't make trouble, you know that's impossible." It's not that Henry doesn't help, but he really can't.

"If you don't help me, I——I'll marry Locke!" Phyllis blushed a little, and in order to leave that house, Phyllis did everything she could.

Henry glared at Rock immediately.

Rock looked shocked.

"Well, I have some bad news for you. Henry is coming." Henry—Henry of Matilda's family was expressionless.

"Which Henry?" Phyllis had a bad feeling.

"It's that Henry!" Henry confirmed.

Phyllis turned and left without saying a word.

It seems that Phyllis' escapee partner is also named Henry.

Yes, Henry Alsop.

"Arnold took thirteen hundred pounds from the gold mine last month, do you know what he wants the money for?" Rock said business.

"Don't worry about Arnold, what's the matter with Phyllis?" Henry now looks at Rock very disliked.

"What's going on?" Rock wanted to get away with it.

"Don't pretend to be confused, you can't hide it from me, what's the matter with Phyllis?" Henry was furious, and it was impossible for Rock to pass the test easily.

"Phyllis was joking, don't you think she's serious?" Rock didn't understand why Phyllis said that just now.

"Do you think Phyllis would joke about this kind of thing?" Henry pressed harder and harder.

"What do you want to say?" Rock was also a little angry, not because of Phyllis, but because of Arnold, Rock was already full of anger.

"I want to say, you're a bastard!" Henry was annoyed.

"You too!" Rock was even angrier. Henry's tone made Rock uncomfortable.

It was as if Roque wasn't good enough for Phyllis.

Look down on people, right? ! ! !
