Chapter 193 Meaningful

People in high positions will inevitably do things that are unimaginable to ordinary people sometimes.

The power of this era is unrestricted, such as Cecil Rhodes Jr. In Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes Jr. is the king. He can form a government at will, set up an army, and even launch a war against neighboring countries. war.

In Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes Jr. can even execute anyone, even white people, without approval. In this case, anyone will feel smug.

Don't try to understand those high-ranking people with the thinking of normal people, such as Emperor Hui of Jin's "Why not eat minced meat", normal people would feel that only idiots would say such words, but for Emperor Hui of Jin, "Why not eat minced meat?" Minced meat" is a matter of course.

Cecil Rhodes Jr. has not yet reached the position of Emperor Hui of Jin, so he invited Roque to his house as a guest to further deepen his relationship.

Of course, Cecil Rhodes Jr. did not prepare any gifts for Rock. At the social status of Cecil Rhodes Jr., there is no need to use money to build relationships, and interests are the bond to form an alliance.

"Rock, don't worry, Kimberley will take good care of those Chinese miners." Cecil Rhodes Jr. knew what Rock cared about.

"Thank you Cecil, and please rest assured that as long as you treat the Chinese well, the Chinese will give you the greatest return." Rock raised his glass to Cecil Rhodes Jr. The red wine that accompanied the meal came from France. Rock looked Don't understand the label, it's not a well-known brand, but the taste is very good.

"I've seen your resume, and to be honest, I'm curious, you don't look like a Chinese—" Perhaps in Cecil Rhodes Jr.'s view, this is the biggest compliment to Rock.

Rock didn't think so. While these words praised High Rock, they actually belittled all Chinese.

What is not like?

Just because Rock is better?

Can't the Chinese perform well?

So Rock's expression was very serious: "Cecil, what the Chinese can do is far beyond your imagination."

"I know, I understand—" Cecil Rhodes Jr. understood Rock's words.

Rock smiled and said nothing, no matter whether Cecil Rhodes Jr. really understands or is casually polite, one day in the future, all white people, including Cecil Rhodes Jr., will deeply understand the Chinese To what extent can it be achieved.

Overall, lunch is still very pleasant.

Although Cecil Rhodes Jr. has some flaws in character, he is not bad in nature. Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not a playboy, but he is not considered a modest gentleman either. Cecil Rhodes Jr. should be that kind A standard aristocrat, high above, overlooking all living beings, will not be domineering, but has a strong sense of superiority in his bones.

In fact, Cecil Rhodes Jr. was able to entertain Rock at home, and he could already be regarded as a corporal. If it were someone else, he would probably be grateful, but Rock didn't feel anything special. It was Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes may also attract Rock's attention, Cecil Rhodes Jr.——

It's far worse than his father.

Of course, this does not affect Roque's attitude towards Cecil Rhodes Jr. When he came to this world, Roque tried his best to integrate into it. No matter who it is, as long as he expresses kindness to Roque, he will get a response from Roque, so , In the future, if Rhodesia encounters a crisis, Roque doesn't mind pulling Cecil Rhodes Jr.

Yes, that's how arrogant it is!

That's how confident he is!

Don't look at Rock's soft-spoken person now, but Rock has the confidence to pull Cecil Rhodes Jr.

Cecil Rhodes Jr. will definitely not think now that he will need Rock's help in the future, but Cecil Rhodes Jr. in the future will definitely be grateful to himself today.

-

The investigation team's train was expected to arrive in Johannesburg at night. In order to avoid guerrilla attacks, the investigation team chose to take a boat from Cape Town to Durban, and then take a train from Durban to Johannesburg.

Rock and Joe Russell led the commandos to arrive at the train station early to set up defenses. Although the guerrillas were far away from the Transvaal, the security situation in Johannesburg was still not optimistic. The conflict between the police and the expeditionary force,—

They all stand out.

At six o'clock in the evening, the investigation team's train was about to arrive in Johannesburg. Philip Matilda came to the train station with a group of officials from the Johannesburg city government.

Rock accidentally saw Henry Alsop.

It was indeed an accident. Henry Alsop was just an ordinary supervisor of the Johannesburg Municipal Office. It is said that he was not qualified to appear here. Those who were qualified to pick up the station were basically the chief and deputy officials of the Johannesburg municipal government.

As Philip Matilda's first secretary, Owen is definitely qualified to pick him up.

Seeing Rock, Owen approached calmly: "Lock, be careful, that guy's father is the head of the investigation team—"

This news was a bit of a surprise. Rock knew that the "that guy" Owen was referring to was Henry Alsop.

It's not a surprise, Roark knows that Henry Alsop's father is also a baron, so he must be qualified to be the head of the investigation team, but at this time in Johannesburg——

It's raining all over the building.

"Thank you——" Rock remained calm, soldiers came to block him, and water came to cover him. As long as Rock didn't make mistakes, Henry Alsop's father, even Edward VII, couldn't do anything to Rock.

This sentence is bragging, if Henry Alsop is really the prince, Rock must be hiding away at this moment.

The baron's son felt good about himself. After his father came, counting Baron Philip, there were only two nobles in Johannesburg, so he probably felt similar to a prince.

So if Roque doesn't take the initiative to find trouble, it doesn't mean that some people will let Roque go.

"Director Locke, hello—" Henry Alsop said in a frivolous tone, like a cat molesting a mouse.

It's true that the nine sons of a dragon are different. The Rhodes family is a top wealthy family, and Cecil Rhodes Jr. can still be a "corporate". The Alsop family is an ordinary nobleman, but the children they educate are like tramps. He was just as rude, and from Henry Alsop's appearance, I guess he was not very good.

Rock didn't know Henry Alsop as well, and the relationship between the two was not good enough to chat casually, so Rock just nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Owen didn't pay attention to Henry Alsop, he didn't even nod his head, which was even more excessive than Rock.

In fact, Roque can understand Henry Alsop's mood, just like Arnold. There are so many nobles like barons in the UK. Henry Alsop probably has been suppressed for too long, so when he arrived in the Transvaal, Unconsciously, the nature is released.

To put it bluntly, Henry Alsop and Arnold are just like those guys who won the lottery, or got rich overnight after demolition, and were dazzled by wealth. Don't look at them as noble children, in fact In his bones, he has no background like a nouveau riche. This kind of person will be unlucky sooner or later.

"Owen should have told you what you are about to face, right? How about it, don't you panic?" Henry Alsop knew that he was not welcome, so he was not polite.

"Why?" Rock said calmly.

"Soon you'll know why, because you'll be where you need to be in no time." Henry Alsop has everything under control.

"Can you stop being so boring? I know your father is a baron, I know your father is the head of the investigation team, but so what? Your father can still cover the sky in Johannesburg? Think about it, why is your father the investigation team Chief, not anyone else, I think you should be more worried about your father now, rather than embarrassing yourself here, idiot!" Rock is really rude, anyway, he is tearing his face, so just scold him quickly and cover it up Yes, no matter how you look at it, it's too wretched.

"You bastard!" Henry Alsop was not stupid, he cursed reflexively, and then his face turned pale.

Rock is right, in Johannesburg, the baron is indeed a high status, but the "king" of Johannesburg is Cecil Rhodes, so——

Investigating Cecil Rhodes in Johannesburg was indeed not a good job, and Henry Alsop's father probably wouldn't get a really good job, so Henry Alsop really had nothing to be proud of.

"Hehe, Director Locke, you are right, some people are idiots." Coincidentally, Cecil Rhodes Jr. was also on the platform.

For Rock, Henry Alsop can play tricks, but for Cecil Rhodes Jr., Henry Alsop will immediately die down.

Just kidding, even though it seems that the Rhodes family is going to lose power now, in the UK, the Rhodes family is still the undisputed top rich family. Even if Cecil Rhodes made a mistake during his tenure as Prime Minister of Cape, it must Responsible for the outbreak of the Second Boer War, Cecil Rhodes Jr., who inherited the South African Company, would still qualify as a guest of honor at the Palace if he went to London.

And Henry Alsop—

It is estimated that his father is not qualified to ask to see the king at any time.

Not an estimate, but a certainty!

"Mr. Rhodes, hello." Owen took the initiative to greet Cecil Rhodes Jr.

"Hello——" Little Cecil Rhodes was very face-saving. Although he was not very enthusiastic, he was not indifferent either.

This is the demeanor of a top wealthy family. As the son of a baron, Cecil Rhodes Jr. may also look down on Owen, but on the surface, Cecil Rhodes Jr. will not embarrass Owen. After all, Henry Idiots like Alsop are not common. Most of the time, even when facing strangers, Cecil Rhodes Jr. would not speak ill of each other.

Of course, for people like Henry Alsop, Cecil Rhodes Jr. didn't need to be courteous. Such people usually don't have much ability, even if they jump up and down, they can't make any trouble.

Such a scene, in the eyes of Baron Philip, is really meaningful.

 Today is the third update. It has been on the shelves for eight days, and 11 words have been updated. This speed should satisfy the brothers——
