Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 437

Scarlett's farm has reached the brink of collapse, and a utopia composed purely of women and children cannot be maintained for a long time in this era.

Human nature is selfish, especially those women who have been devastated by war, they feel this more deeply.

From the very beginning, Scarlett's farm had great hidden dangers. Rock knew that there was no future for the big pot meal model, but Scarlett didn't know it. Rock didn't bother to remind Scarlet at that time, so Scarlet Carrie plunged headlong into this pit.

Most of the women taken in by Scarlett were pregnant, so soon after the farm was established, it won the first baby boom.

It was okay at the beginning, but as a mother, a woman will explode with great energy for her children, so the situation on the farm is not bad.

But as more and more women gave birth, there were fewer and fewer people who could work. At this time, the farms around Johannesburg had begun to develop in great strides. Scarlett's farm was still struggling, relying on potatoes and milk supported by the agricultural association.

That's right, not only the Agricultural Association donated a lot of milk to Scarlett's farm, but even Bigwig Public School sent a lot of milk to Scarlett's farm.

Originally, if this situation continued, the situation might still be maintained.

But the situation changed again at this time. After giving birth to their children, many pregnant women chose to leave the farm to marry, or went to Orange to find their families, but the children were left on the farm. These children became overwhelmed. The last straw on the farm.

The farm was deeply divided on how these children should be treated.

Some people insisted that those children should be handed over to the women who left the farm to take them away. This is obviously unrealistic, because the farm does not know where the mothers of the children went after leaving the farm.

Others believe that those children should be handed over to the Johannesburg city government, and at least the city government should bear part of the maintenance costs.

This sounds like a good choice, but it is also not very practical. The current Johannesburg city government has no support policy for orphans. These children don’t even have fathers, and now they have lost their mothers. Native, it's hard to get well cared for, let alone this is Southern Africa.

For these children, a huge crack appeared on the farm, which further affected the normal production of the farm. At this time, Scarlett's savings had been exhausted, so the farm was finally unable to maintain.

Fortunately, Ada returned to Johannesburg at this time, and Scarlett was forced to explain the situation of the farm to Ada, hoping that Ada could take over the farm.

Unlike Scarlett, who is a bad guy, as a woman, Ida has a more decisive, independent, and cold-blooded character, so Ada's request is that it is okay to take over the farm, but Scarlett is required to transfer the ownership of the farm to Ada, and Scarlett never interfered with the running of the farm.

Scarlett was exhausted physically and mentally, even if she wanted to interfere, she would be powerless, so she agreed to Ada's request neatly.

The first thing Ada did after taking over the farm was to disband the farm.

Because Ada is the owner of the farm now, the women and children on the farm are actually employees of the farm. Ada sent professional managers and financial personnel to the farm, and hired some security personnel from the umbrella company. The farm is corporatized.

The transformation method is very rough. The farm is directly operated as a company, and everyone in the farm becomes employees of the company. If you can accept the company model, then the "employees" can continue to stay in the company. If you can't accept the current changes, you have to leave farm.

In order to thank those who are leaving for their contribution to the farm, the farm will give a certain degree of financial compensation. Considering Ada's style, don't expect much money.

Most of the women chose to stay on the farm, and some of them were disheartened by the farm and chose to leave. Ada did not show up from the beginning to the end. Everything was carried out by the management of the farm. It was less than two months after taking over the farm. The situation is new.

In fact, the crux of the problem is those children who have become orphans.

After clearing up the unstable factors, Ada still invested in the farm and set up nurseries and kindergartens one after another to take care of these children.

For employees who choose to stay on the farm, the farm also signs a labor contract with them and assigns them detailed work tasks. Some of them go to nursery schools and kindergartens to take care of the children, and some of them are responsible for the labor on the farm.

Only then did Ada discover how chaotic Scarlett’s previous management was. The farm lacked labor force and had a huge land area. It did not develop animal husbandry, which was relatively easy in labor intensity, but a group of women and children guarded the farm. Scarlett, the farmer, is indeed unqualified for living on potatoes.

Scarlett is not an excellent decision maker, but she is an excellent executive, so the only way to transform the farm into a company model is for Ada to appoint Scarlett as the manager of the company.

Nothing seems to have changed, yet everything is very different from before.

To put it bluntly, there is still no money. To develop animal husbandry, whether it is breeding cattle or sheep, money is required. Scarlett bought the farm at the beginning with a loan, and there was no money to continue to invest, so the farm was doomed from the very beginning. maintain.

Things are much better now than when Scarlett bought the farm.

At that time, farms in Johannesburg needed to buy breeding cattle and sheep, and even went to Canada. Now this problem can be solved locally in Johannesburg. Local farms in Johannesburg can already provide breeding cattle and sheep, and the price is much cheaper than before.

As for the labor force, it is not difficult to solve it. Nyasaland is now able to produce tractors. Ida called Rock, and Rock directly gave Ada five tractors, which completely solved the labor problem on the farm.

It's not complete, a farm with an area of ​​[-] acres, only women can't do it, so Ada hired some Chinese to come to the farm to further change the human resource structure of the farm.

This decision sparked opposition from Scarlett and company employees.

But Ada is firm, stay if you can accept it, leave if you can’t accept it, there is no third choice, and the democratic representative system in Johannesburg is also unworkable here.

No one left!

Those who are willing to leave have already left after two rounds of elimination, and those who stay are those who have nowhere to go, or those who have deep feelings for the farm. Even if Ada goes too far, they probably won't leave.

After the farm was on the right track, good things happened one after another. When the tractor started to reclamation, a gold mine was discovered in the northwest of the farm.

It is too normal to find gold mines in the Johannesburg area. In addition to the Rock Gold Mine, there are two gold mines that have not been mined at all in Rock's hands. At least one-tenth of the gold mines in the Johannesburg area are controlled by Rock.

This is not comparable to De Beers Unified Mining Company, but like Stoudemire, Rock is actually another mining giant in the Johannesburg area.

"How big is the gold mine?" After Ada discovered the gold mine, she went directly to Roque, wanting to hand over the gold mine to Roque.

"I don't know. I didn't go to Christian. You know, the farm is full of women. It's impossible to expect them to mine the mine. I probably won't be able to keep the gold mine in my hands. It's better to leave it to you—" Ada Right now, he was lying in his villa, leaning on Rock comfortably to eat fruit.

Arthur was babbling and crawling around on the carpet next to Ada and Rock.

Ada is also a very lazy woman. Every time Arthur is about to climb out of Ada's control, Ada will hold Arthur's clothes with her toes, and pull Arthur back who is trying to escape from the clutches.

Arthur is indomitable, and after being pulled back, he will try his best to set off into the distance without crying.

So Rock immediately got off topic: "Is this child not going to cry? I haven't heard him cry before."

"Because he knows that even if he cries, his father won't show up in time to comfort him, so the child seldom cries." Ada made a pun.

Roquedo was clever, and immediately sent a kiss full of apology and love.

Ada smiled contentedly.

"Keep the gold mine for yourself. If there are no miners, I will find it for you. Don't worry about the rest." Rock is indeed confident now. If other women own the gold mine, it might not be possible to keep it. There is no such problem, even if Roque does not come forward, there are not many people in Johannesburg who can bully Ada.

"Let me keep it—would Mrs. Nyasaland be unhappy?" Ada still had resentment after all, and it was impossible to say that she didn't mind: "Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it, but in fact it's like this now It's not bad, when you don't come, I will treat you as a business trip—"

Such a woman is indeed something that Rock can't put it down, so Rock is willing to carry the burden.

Running a gold mine may be exhausting for someone else, but for a capitalist like Rock, it is not too simple.

Rock has a lot of money and mining equipment, and Johannesburg also has it. The only problem is the miners. Rock still has a lot of Zulu prisoners of war in his hands. The transfer of two or three thousand will not affect the construction of Nyasaland. .

As for whether these Zulu miners came to Johannesburg, will it affect the population ratio of Johannesburg?

Don’t worry about this problem. All the gold mines in Johannesburg are now under military management, which is completely different from the free-range farming in the past. All the miners in Johannesburg only work in Johannesburg, not live in Johannesburg. The Lu people rushed back to Basutolan.

It's not "rushing", it's sending!
