Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2701
The weaker the country, the more tyrannical it is in foreign colonization, because they themselves know that this situation cannot last for too long, either they will be annexed by powerful colonial countries, or they will be overthrown by colonial natives.

There are countless such examples in history. Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, and even the British Empire, once huge and invincible, gradually disintegrated after the British strength weakened.

The Southern African Union established in Southern Africa is also plundering in nature, but because it uses a more covert method, it is easier for the Union countries to accept it.

In southern Africa, the competitiveness is no longer limited to low cost. The biggest advantage of southern African products entering overseas markets was cost. Now it has risen to the overall level. Even if the price is more expensive, the quality is not good. Best of all, there are still many countries willing to choose Southern African goods.

This is the overall competitive advantage.

Southern Africa also signed a series of cooperation agreements for aiding European reconstruction. Many terms are exclusive in nature. Even if they encounter vicious competition from other countries, the other party will have to compromise after comprehensive consideration.

The plantations in Northern Tanganyika are direct beneficiaries of those exclusive agreements.

Thomas's plantation, the main cash crops are coffee, tea, and tobacco.

These are actually not the traditional advantages of southern Africa. In terms of quality, the coffee and tea produced by Thomas Plantation are far from the high-quality standard.

However, through the operation of the federal government, the coffee and tea produced by the Thomas plantation can be sold to Europe at a high-quality price. Rock is also quite proud of this point.

"Bah! What kind of tea is this? It's not even as good as black tea from India!" Siu Si, a big tea connoisseur, sneered at the tea produced by Thomas Plantation.

Tea of ​​this quality is not even sold to Europe, even in southern Africa, it is difficult to sell it.

Not to mention selling for a good price.

"When drinking Indian black tea, you need to add milk and spices. It is not the original taste at all. What we pursue is all natural and no additives. This is the healthiest way to drink it." Thomas is not convinced by anyone except Rock .

This is the confidence given to Thomas by the federal government.

In Thomas's plantation, Thomas is the king. Anyone who breaks into Thomas's plantation without permission, Thomas can directly shoot and kill the intruder.

There is no need to doubt whether Thomas has this ability. There are nearly two hundred strong men in Thomas's plantation. Even without using guns, Thomas can easily handle most situations.

So in Thomas's plantation, Thomas is theoretically invincible.

Even if the opponent is Stoudemire.

"If there is no purchase from the federal government, can your tea be sold?" Stoudemire is not angry when he is pouted in person. From the perspective of personality, Stoudemire and Thomas are equal.

This is also the most commendable place in southern Africa.

The "fairness" maintained by the Federal Government of Southern Africa has nothing to do with social status or personal property. Even if Stoudemire is the "richest man" in Southern Africa, he has no extrajudicial privileges in Southern Africa, and he has to pay fines for driving violations.

The King of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. People with greater energy tend to be more low-key and will not abuse their privileges in trivial matters.

On the contrary, people who have no ability and only have power by virtue of the platform often use everything to the extreme, and a tiny bit of power must be magnified to the extreme, because they know very well that without the platform, they are nothing.

This is the reason for the right not to expire.

Let's talk about driving violations. Will Stoudemire seek extrajudicial privileges because of driving violations?

Impossible, I can't afford to lose that person, how much is the fine, the honor of Stoudemire himself and the Cecil family is much more valuable than this.

Only those who do not take honor seriously will be privileged everywhere, because for them, honor—or face in other words—can be measured by money.

"This is the reason for my infinite devotion to the lord, because of the lord, I have gone from a homeless tramp to a planter with 1500 acres of plantations. During the world war, my plantation was sold for a penny. No tax paid, but I donated all my profits to the Lord and Lady's Foundation, because I feel that money, in the hands of Lord and Lady, can play a greater role!" Thomas wins big , Stoudemire was defeated.

During the war, Stoudemire did not donate all his income.

The findings of the "Times" show that during the world war, the richest people in southern Africa generally doubled or more their assets and made a lot of war fortune.

Even the assets of the Locke family increased by 150% during the World War.

Compared with the wealth owned by Stoudemire and Rock, Thomas' assets are not worth mentioning.

But Thomas can do what Stoudemire and Rock can't.

It's not that Stoudemire and Rock are cold-blooded, but that Stoudemire and Rock are responsible for the lives of too many people, and they have no right to be willful.

Thomas's money was donated as soon as he said it would be donated, and the most affected people were no more than 200 people, and most of them were illegal foreign workers.

The industries under the names of Stoudemire and Rock directly affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of employees, including their families, and the coverage has expanded to millions of people. Therefore, Stoudemire and Rock have to be cautious, no matter how much money they make, they have to plan ahead. Set aside enough money just in case.

They are also bankrupt. Thomas' bankruptcy will not affect the income of workers. They can find new jobs and maybe earn more.

Rock and Stoudemire went bankrupt, and even triggered an economic crisis, they were not of the same size at all.

"Thank you for your donation. I will tell Phyllis and live up to every expectation." Rock was very happy, this is what he wanted to see.

Forty years in the making, Roark would be disappointed if southern Africa was filled with self-absorbed egoists.

It’s true to take good care of yourself. The Chinese tradition advocates that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.

Being able to help others, but not being willing to lend a helping hand can also be explained, because kindness will be exploited, there will always be despicable people who profit from the generosity of others, take your money and call you evil.

It is very abnormal to be proud of selfishness. Even if you can’t help, at least don’t make things worse. After all, everyone will encounter difficulties, and when they are difficult, they hope that someone can lend a helping hand.

Those who hold salaries for everyone must not freeze them to death in the wind and snow.

When the Phyllis Foundation provides foreign aid, it is more or less mixed with political factors. This is understandable, and it is the same all over the world.

In southern Africa, many projects of the Phyllis Foundation are public welfare. For example, in the ongoing new round of infrastructure construction, the Phyllis Foundation has invested in many projects. Basically, the investment is large, the return period is long, and the money The economic situation is not good, and banks have packaged them as wealth management products, and there are no projects that wealth managers are interested in.

Or take the railway as an example.

In order to attract private capital to invest in railways, southern Africa offered many favorable conditions. Later, the federal government paid a higher price to take back the land along the railways, which is beneficial to the country in the long run.

Now that private capital invests in highways, the federal government is unlikely to offer too many favorable conditions. At most, the guaranteed profit will be a little higher than the interest rate of the deposit bank, and private capital will lose interest because there are ways to make more profits.

The Phyllis Foundation doesn't care about short-term profits. Investments are at least calculated in units of ten years. It doesn't matter if the return period is long. If Gavin is the prime minister, can the Phyllis Foundation lose money?
"Only when the country is thriving can people in southern Africa live a good life—"Thomas may be a bit greedy for money, and he has no problem with right and wrong, and his thinking has not gone astray.

This is thanks to the federal governments at all levels and the patriotic education accumulated by various social organizations.

Who said that patriotic education is not carried out in capitalist countries? The patriotic education in southern Africa is much more detailed than that in Russia. It has penetrated into every aspect of the life of every southern African. All southern Africans are accepting patriotism anytime and anywhere. doctrine education.

The most obvious example is that in all sports events held in southern Africa, everyone has to sing the national anthem before the game starts. The event organizer will invite famous singers or celebrities to lead the singing. It is against the law not to sing along to the national anthem, not to stand, and not to face the national flag to show respect.

As for insulting the national flag or the national anthem in public, at the very least, you must be prepared to go to jail. The court trial will definitely handle it top-notch, and lawyers will refuse to defend such cases.

Lawyers will carefully study and exploit legal loopholes for business purposes. This can also be explained. It is all for living. Rock and Stoudemire are so rich, and the accounting team under them is still trying to avoid taxes.

But there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched. Insulting the national flag or the national anthem is as serious as an act of war. It is reasonable and legal to characterize it as treason. Any lawyer who dares to defend this kind of behavior will have a job for the Bar Association.

Except for some minor flaws, Rock is quite satisfied with Thomas's plantation. At least Thomas will not cut off his hands and feet just because the workers did not complete their tasks.

The treatment of the workers is also good. Salaries are paid in full and on time. There are special personnel responsible for food and hygiene. The workers live in single rooms with bathrooms. This standard cannot even be met by companies under the names of Rock and Stoudemire.

There were less than two hundred workers on Thomas's plantation.

The companies under the name of Rock and Stoudemire have employees in units of tens of thousands. If they are all single rooms, the cost will be too high and the burden on the company will be too heavy.

As for those employees with strong abilities and high positions who can provide greater value to the company, let alone single rooms, presidential suites are possible, and they cannot be generalized.

"What are you going to do next?" Rock asked Little Ade, a little worried that Ade would turn around and retaliate against Thomas.

This possibility is actually not very high. As a veteran, Thomas has a strong background. The Ministry of Defense, the Military Service Agency, and even the Rifle Association are all Thomas' backing. It is not easy for Adelaide to handle Thomas. There is a high probability of being counterattacked by veterans.

"What else can I do? Existence is reasonable. Since those illegal foreign workers have no objections, the state government doesn't care. If the people don't raise their officials, they won't be held accountable—" Xiao Ade is not stupid, and he can't offend Bei Tanger for this matter. All plantation owners in Nika State.

Illegal foreign workers are not an exception. They are common in North Tanganyika and even in the whole of southern Africa. If Adelaide dares to lift the cover, he will be kicked out without waiting until the end of his term.

Rock's attitude is already very clear, the federal government can pretend to be stupid, can't the North Tanganyika state government?

Without this kind of consciousness, I can't reach this position at all.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. It is rare to be confused. These words are full of wisdom in life.

Leaving the plantation, the next stop is the cassava processing factory.

Known as the king of starch, cassava is native to Brazil and widely planted in tropical areas. It is the main ration of low-income groups and a traditional crop in Tanganyika.

During the World War II, cassava was widely purchased by the federal government as military rations. In southern Africa's foreign aid, cassava also accounted for a relatively large proportion, and it was one of the main sources of income for the North Tanganyika state government.

At the end of the World War, the purchase of cassava by the federal government plummeted. The cassava processing industry in North Tanganyika encountered a crisis, and its profits dropped sharply. Some cassava processing factories went bankrupt.

Rock was helpless.

A few years ago, the federal government reminded domestic enterprises to pay attention to the possibility of economic crisis, and carried out economic transformation in advance to reduce the harm of economic crisis.

There are always some smart people who are unwilling to give up their immediate short-term interests. When the economic crisis comes, they go bankrupt and their own interests are not greatly affected, so they leave all the burden to the federal government.

"We are working hard to improve the processing level of cassava. Although the war is over, the world's demand for cassava will not decrease. There will always be people who can't afford meat and have to eat cassava. The impact of bankruptcy of some cassava processing factories is also acceptable. It is a process of survival of the fittest, and the withdrawal of speculators will make this industry healthier.” Little Ade has a long-term vision, raises wolves when it is time to raise wolves, relies on the federal government everywhere, and it is impossible to create a great company.

Enterprises that rely on the support of the federal government will be eliminated by the market sooner or later. Only when competition is fully introduced can truly competitive enterprises emerge. This is the kingly way of operating the market.

During this process, the federal governments at all levels will definitely not ignore it. The United States has amended its laws to protect local companies, and the same is true in southern Africa. There are profits and taxes. Who will make trouble with money?

"Federal governments at all levels should play a greater role, take the initiative to build bridges between enterprises and related units, and provide technical and financial support for enterprise upgrades." Rock knows what the real difficulties enterprises face are no funds and no technology, said Everything is nonsense.
