Chapter 396

In Nyasaland's banquet, the choice of food has always been a combination of East and West.

There are chefs who make all kinds of food for the guests on the spot, including ice cream and snacks of all kinds, and chefs who specialize in grilled meat and grilled fish with unique Nyasaland style.

The grilled fish is small whitebait, which is a specialty of Lake Niassa. This kind of fish is tender and nutritious. It can be grilled and eaten directly after being fished out of the lake. The small whitebait used in the canned fish produced in the Xiaosi factory Whitebait, the sales situation is very good, and now it has been sold to Europe.

In this regard, Rock is still low-key. Many good things in Nyasaland, such as the improved general-purpose machine gun and 40mm rapid-fire gun, as well as tractors and trucks, Rock is not for sale now, otherwise Rock wants to sell Ni It is not difficult for Asalan's products to be sold to Europe.

Stoudemire has no scruples in this regard. He sells the canned food to Nyasaland, and Stoudemire only charges the cost price. Only by selling it to Europe can he really make money.

In order to reduce costs, Stoudemire, a profiteer, has now set up a food laboratory to conduct research on the taste of canned food and the ratio of ingredients. No, when you open the lid, there is a strong starchy smell, and the oil used is different from the previous oil, for which Stoudemire was often scolded.

That is to say, there are many rivers and lakes in Nyasaland, so Nyasaland people are becoming more and more picky. Luncheon meat is hardly eaten in Nyasaland, but outside of Nyasaland, even for many European families , Luncheon meat is rare and delicious.

In this era, people still lack oil and water in their stomachs, and ordinary European families are the same. The real rich are nobles and businessmen, and even ordinary government employees are barely able to live.

No matter in any period, the dividends of social development will not benefit everyone.

The same is true for Nyasaland. Now Nyasaland is not shy about attracting people. As long as there are Chinese willing to immigrate to Nyasaland, Nyasaland will welcome them with open arms.

But emigrating to Nyasaland does not mean once and for all. Those who are idle and lazy are also unwelcome in Nyasaland. Basically, every immigrant ship that comes to Nyasaland must bring Dozens of Chinese were deported back to the Qing Dynasty. Many of them didn’t realize what they missed. It didn’t matter if they were repatriated. Not forgiving.

Stoudemire is very interested in the food of Nyasaland. Every time he comes to Nyasaland, Stoudemire always discovers something new. Now he also employs a Chinese chef at home, and his pursuit of appetite is endless.

Rock is a never-ending pursuit of industry.

"Quality! Quality is the lifeline of a product, and it cannot be ignored at any time. We would rather reduce production than ensure product quality; besides quality, it is performance. The current diesel engine is 50 horsepower, so the next step is to study 80 and 100 horsepower. , even for a 200-horsepower engine, European engine manufacturers are also making progress, and new technologies appear almost every day. If we want to maintain our advantages, we must never stop on the road of pursuing performance and quality.” Rock’s requirements are high, Although both Rudolf Diesel and Duncan looked embarrassed, they nodded again and again.

This is how Rock's sense of urgency came about. Stoudemire and Henry often said that they didn't know why Rock was so urgent and wanted to eat into a fat man. It was because Stoudemire and Henry didn't understand that in the next few decades, the world How fast will the development be.

"There is no rush to make money, at least not now. In two years, we will sell our products to Europe. At this stage, we need to cultivate our internal skills, more skilled workers, better product quality, and more advanced equipment. performance, we need to ensure that we can establish an advantage with similar products in Europe, so that we can really open up product sales.” Rock still reassured that when tractors and trucks were just successfully developed, many people hoped to sell their products to Europe. Dolph Diesel at his most urgent.

There is still news in Europe that Rudolf Diesel has passed away. Many people don’t know that Rudolf Diesel was in Nyasaland, so Rudolf Diesel really wants to sell his tractors and trucks Going to Europe is not only for profit, but also for the honor of Rudolf Diesel.

For officials like Duncan, they also hope to sell their products to Europe.

Nyasaland is like a monster now, and everyone who knows the truth is amazed at the speed of Nyasaland's development, but Roque did not promote Nyasaland's ideas, wishing to kill Nyasaland Wrapped in his arms, this is not in line with the practice of most colonies at this time.

In order to attract immigrants, almost all the colonies in the world are making high-profile propaganda. According to the official mouth, all the colonies in the world are paradise, and the immigrant colonies will instantly become winners in life. Reimbursement of immigration expenses is a routine operation. The "Peace Agreement" just When the signing was signed, the Transvaal government even promised that as long as there are immigrants coming to the Transvaal, the Transvaal government will reimburse the immigration expenses and also give money and land. Even so, no one is willing to come to the Transvaal watt.

During this period, the first choice of European immigrants was the Americas, the second choice was North Africa, and only those who were desperate would choose Southern Africa, such as those Jews who were excluded all over the world.

"Why wait until two years later?" Stoudemire's political sense is indeed insensitive. Almost everyone knows how obvious the problem is, and Stoudemire is still confused.

Historically, Stoudemire was really confused, otherwise Rhodesia would not have been self-governing South Africa. As a result, the South African company ceased to exist in the end.

"The Boers are lobbying in London, hoping that Orange will implement a democratic representative system as soon as possible—" Rock clicked, and Stoudemire suddenly realized.

The lack of political sense does not mean that Stoudemire is stupid. Rock has instilled the benefits of self-government in Stoudemire in the past two years. Stoudemire is also looking forward to how much potential can be exploded once the four colonies in southern Africa are self-governed together. .

Stoudemire does not know the potential of Cape, Natal, and Orange. The potential of the Transvaal has been released by more than half. Stoudemire is full of confidence in Rhodesia and Nyasaland. A lot of good things are hidden away. If Rock is willing to show them, he can become a blockbuster now.

But in that way, Nyasaland will definitely attract attention. Although the British government also knows that Nyasaland has developed tractors and trucks, the British government will not pay much attention to new things that have not been tested by the market. For the British government, there are many new things, and it is too much to pay attention to.

Early the next morning, Rock and Stoudemire took the train to Port Edward. Relatively speaking, the space on the train was more secretive, so Rock could say a lot.

"If Orange starts to implement the democratic representative system, then the Transvaal will definitely implement it. At that time, we can work together to promote the establishment of the South African Federation. Rhodesia and Nyasaland can take advantage of this opportunity to merge into the South African Federation. And then completely get rid of the local remote control, the officials and gentlemen in London now feel that we are a burden, we don’t want to be riding on the head to tell us what to do, we need to get what we need.” Rock has long had this plan, but it’s a pity that with Ade , Philip, and the others couldn't say it directly. Stoudemire is a different kind, so Rock can open up.

Although Stoudemire is a pure British, but for the British government, Stoudemire's attitude is very disgusting.

It all stemmed from the discord between the British government and Cecil Rhodes. In order to restrict Cecil Rhodes, Queen Victoria did not entitle Cecil Rhodes, but in order to reward Cecil Rhodes The merits of Rhodes, Queen Victoria entrusted the management of Rhodesia to the South African company, which has laid a hidden danger for the current relationship between Rhodesia and the British government. There are also many untold stories between the royal family and the government.

The British like to dig holes, and it really penetrates into their bones. They are not only good at digging holes for outsiders, but also for their own people.

"Self-government is a dream for you. For me, the future is uncertain. At least after Rhodesia's autonomy, it will be more difficult to obtain immigrants from the mainland." Stoudemire has also considered a lot. Population has always restricted the development of southern Africa. biggest factor.

"Now it's not easy for you to get immigrants from the mainland!" Roque said, most of the white immigrants in Rhodesia come from countries on the European continent, and very few come from the British mainland.

Relatively speaking, although southern Africa is tasteless to the British government, it is still a bit attractive to immigrants from continental European countries. These days, the Indians in the United States are almost killed by the Americans. After arriving in the United States, it is also difficult to get ahead.

Africa is different. Regardless of the fact that European countries have colonized Africa for hundreds of years, the main population of Africa is still Africans, and the number of whites is still limited. You will become a "superior" who is superior to others, which is still very attractive to many bottom-level people who have no confidence in themselves and do not have much ability.

Of course, this situation is just a propaganda carried out by the colonial government to attract immigrants. The specific situation is still different from the propaganda. People like Cecil Rhodes came to southern Africa empty-handed, but within a few years Becoming millionaires, more gold diggers found nothing in the Transvaal, and their lives were similar to those in Europe, and there was no essential difference.

So whether you can get ahead or not, the key is to rely on yourself.

 I have too many debts, so I dare not ask for a ticket. I will write honestly and pay off the debts I owe first.
