Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 420 Annoying

The Johannesburg City Government now collects more than [-] pounds in taxes per month, but these taxes must be reserved for the portion due to London, and it must be shared with the Pretoria Governor's Mansion. Probably around [-] pounds.

These days, hiring a professor from Oxford University costs about [-] pounds a year, and if you hire [-] pounds, you can almost hire [-] professors from Oxford University.

Now there are less than 100 professors at Oxford University, so it is conceivable how ecstatic Phyllis is.

"Really? I can really control the income of Bigwig College?" Phyllis couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, you can do whatever you want. If the income of Bigwig Public School is not enough to spend, you can also expand the school. You know, the current Bigwig Public School, the teaching facilities are not fully utilized. If you want, you can Appropriately expand the scale of Bigwig College." Rock appropriately delegated power, even if the current Bigwig College doubles in size, it still has a steady stream of students, and the enthusiasm of white people in education is no less than that of Chinese.

"It's all yours, you can do whatever you want." Rock is very generous, one hundred thousand pounds a year, Rock doesn't care at all, just to earn some pocket money for Phyllis.

Phyllis was overjoyed and huddled in Rock's arms overjoyed. Fifty thousand pounds was not a small amount, and it could double the size of Bigwig College.

Of course, Phyllis is also very clear that rare things are more expensive. Now that the indicators of Bigwig Public School are sought after, it does not mean that Bigwig Public School is irreplaceable. To expand the scale, it is necessary to ensure the quality of teaching. Those parents are willing to pay for it.

One hundred pounds a year, even in the UK, this price is not cheap. This year, there are noble schools in Cape Town that have started to enroll students. Although their teaching quality cannot be compared with that of Bigwei Public School, if the cost gap is too big, it is still enough. Bigwig forms a competition.

"Don't get too excited. Bigwig Public School is now attracting attention. You have to be careful not to smash the signboard of Bigwig Public School." Rock still reminded that it is not easy to establish a brand, but it is very difficult to destroy a brand. Simple.

"Don't worry, Bigwig Public School is only a primary school now, and then Bigwig Public School will need a secondary school, and I will definitely demand it strictly." Phyllis is full of confidence. requirements are different.

A long time ago, Roque described the requirements for education to Phyllis. The Transvaal, and even the whole of southern Africa, lagged behind the mainland by at least 20 years in education. To catch up with the mainland in a short period of time, in addition to continuous investment, we must It will take the efforts of generations.

Rock now does not want to cultivate unborn geniuses, but more to solve the basic talent problem. Continuously spending money can solve hardware problems, but he is still powerless to solve software problems, but Rock He is not superstitious about the humanistic environment. Within ten or eight years, Rock only hopes to improve the framework structure, and more aspects will be added slowly.

In mid-April, Arnold came to Johannesburg.

Phyllis is very worried about the relationship between Rock and Arnold. For Phyllis's mood, Rock promised Phyllis that as long as Arnold does not take the initiative to cause trouble, Rock will never target Arnold.

Arnold seems to have forgotten the unpleasantness that happened with Rock before. When he saw Rock, he expressed his apology to Rock for not being able to attend the wedding of Rock and Phyllis, and sent Rock and Phyllis " ll.

Rock looked at Arnold's half-smiling expression, and had a somewhat understanding of Arnold's mood.

Phyllis and Owen don't think so, they still hope that Arnold and Rock can live in peace.

After all, we are all family.

"Locke, I know you guys have been unhappy before, but believe me, Arnold is no longer the Arnold he used to be. He has learned from the pain and will not make the same mistakes as before. Giving him a chance is like giving Phyllis and me a chance. Save face." Owen was very humble in front of Rock, he and Arnold are brothers of the same mother after all, it is impossible to completely abandon Arnold.

"Don't worry about Owen, I'm not a small-hearted person. If Arnold can really turn over a new leaf, of course I am willing to accept Arnold." Rock's promise is also conditional, but it's a pity that Owen didn't seem to notice.

Phyllis was so happy when she heard this, she didn't even want to say anything, she hugged Roque's arm, put her head on Roque's shoulder, and was infinitely attached to Roque.

In this situation, how could Roque say harsh words.

In the evening, I had dinner at Philip's house, and the conversation naturally turned to the National Party.

"Henry Alsop invited me to be the party chairman of the National Party. I hesitated, but I have to admit that the party chairman of the National Party is still very tempting to me, and I can't refuse." Arnold seemed to be sincere , In the past, Arnold would definitely not say such things.

Rock and Owen looked at each other without saying a word. The current situation of the National Party is well known. It is really not a good choice for Arnold to come back to serve as the chairman of the National Party at this time.

Philip was very concerned, and put down the knife and fork in his hand when he spoke: "I have no objection to your association with Henry Alsop, but you have to know that the current situation is different from your previous friendship. Diagnosis and treatment are different things. It's brutal, and if you decide to get involved, be prepared to fail."

Philip probably knew that if the National Party and the Liberal Party competed head-on, Roque and Owen would never be soft-hearted. If Philip knew, he would definitely not let Arnold come back.

"Of course, I understand that Johannesburg is just a pilot. In any case, the current conflict between the National Party and the Liberal Party should not affect the process of democratic representation. If there is no National Party, there will be other parties, so the emergence of the National Party is not It’s a bad thing, it’s also part of the democratic representative system.” Arnold impressed Rock, the former Arnold would never have said such a reasonable thing.

"Well, as long as you understand—" Philip stopped talking nonsense, and looked at Arnold suspiciously, and finally put the matter on hold.

Rock certainly didn't put it aside. After the meal, Rock, Owen, and Henry came to the balcony to chat, and Arnold came over with a glass of wine to join in the fun.

"Democratic representative system is just a cover, and southern Africa is a burden for London, so London can't wait to get rid of southern Africa. The pilot project in Johannesburg is dispensable, so don't take it too seriously." Rock is not optimistic about the prospects of democratic representative system , It's hard to say what the future will be like now.

Of course, if we go further, Roque can also directly explain the prospects of the democratic representative system, but unfortunately Henry and Owen will probably not believe it, so Roque doesn't bother to say it, let the facts prove it.

"Locke, you are too pessimistic!" Owen was full of confidence in the democratic representative system.

"Actually, this is pretty good now. Unless we can self-govern like Canada and Australia, the democratic representative system is really meaningless." Henry's views are more radical, thanks to Rock's years of brainwashing.

"That's not the case. The democratic representative system is definitely a huge improvement compared to the colonial system. This is the best choice at present. We have no other better choice." Arnold couldn't wait to express his opinion as soon as he came up.

Rock didn't speak, leaning on the railing and slowly shaking the wine glass in his hand.

Owen wanted to speak, but was reminded by Henry's eyes, so he simply pulled a chair over and sat down.

"How have you been in London for the past two years?" Henry's words were full of guns.

"Of course, there is no problem with eating, drinking and spending money. To be honest, I would never come back to Johannesburg in my life without Henry Alsop's invitation, but at different stages of life, we both want to Take on different roles." Arnold has indeed improved during this period, and he can still say such philosophical words, although the logic is not very smooth.

"Let's be serious, Arnold, how are you going to lead the National Party?" After all, Roque couldn't help it. The current Arnold is more annoying to Roque than before.

To be honest, Rock is willing to face the straightforward Arnold, so that Rock doesn't need to have any scruples when dealing with Arnold.

The current Arnold has made great progress compared to before. In the past, Arnold would be emotionally unstable like a dynamite bag if Rock provoked him a little bit.

Now Arnold's energy-raising skills have improved a lot. During the meal just now, Arnold could turn a blind eye to Rock's provocations to Arnold, and Rock had to restrain himself later.

Arnold is an idiot, Philip is not an idiot, and Rock can't go too far, otherwise Philip will have problems with Rock.

"Ha, I am the chairman by name, and I have no rights at all. I know that the Liberal Party was founded by you and Owen, so I don't want to compete with you. We are a family, and there is no need for infighting. Just treat it as a game. Already." Arnold said it easily, and Rock and Owen looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Irving aside, based on Rock's understanding of Arnold, Arnold is not such an easy-going personality.

"Arnold, I shouldn't have said anything originally, but I still remind you that no matter what time it comes, we are one family." Henry couldn't help reminding, the tendency is also obvious, don't look at Henry and Arnold as brothers, but on the The relationship, the relationship between Henry and Arnold, is really not as deep as the relationship with Rock.

"I know, my dear brothers, of course I will remember this—" Arnold smiled, his voice was very gloomy.

Rock is really annoying!
