Chapter 440

Rock didn't care about Kisho Yamaguchi, and it was already a face-saving to take time to meet with Kisho Yamaguchi.

Ada called Rock and said that Arthur had learned to speak.

Rock immediately ran over to watch, and found that Arthur could only call "Mom", no matter how Rock induced, Arthur just didn't call "Daddy".

This made Rock very guilty. In Rock's view, Arthur refused to call him father because Rock didn't give him a complete family.

"How is it possible? Such a young child has no concept of family at all. The reason why he calls mother is because I teach him every day. If he wants to call him father, just chat with him more." It is still Ada who can think about it, Rock, a novice father Really inexperienced.

"Okay, I'll take more time." Rock corrected his mistake, time, there will always be time.

"Did the Japanese look for you?" Ada actually knew Muxiang Yamaguchi. It seems that there are really few Japanese in Johannesburg.

In South Africa in another time and space, there are still a lot of Japanese. In 1994, the South African government once gave the Japanese the status of "honorary white people", which the Japanese dreamed of. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan worked hard to leave Asia and enter Europe, so in Asia and Japan are equal to Asian traitors.

There are almost no Japanese in Johannesburg in this time and space, and the mine owners in Johannesburg have never thought of hiring labor from Japan. Compared with the Chinese, the Japanese are really too small. In the eyes of white people, they are like piggies. Rice people are about the same.

The Pygmies are a tribe living in central Africa, with an average height of about 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters, which is indeed about the same height as the Japanese today.

"He wants to buy medicines and weapons." Rock didn't hide anything. Since Ada asked about Muxiang Yamaguchi, then Ada and Muxiang Yamaguchi must have been in contact.

"What a coincidence, he wanted to borrow money from the Rand Bank in the name of the Japanese government." Ada laughed heartily. The Japanese were also planning very well. They borrowed money from the Rand Bank and bought weapons from Nyasaland. , The Japanese don't want to come up with a big guy who wants to play empty-handed white wolf in Johannesburg.

"How to calculate the interest?" Rock had no objection to Ada lending money to the Japanese, as long as the interest was higher.

"Business secrets!" Ada was proud, and it seemed that the knife was a bit ruthless.

Rock smiled and didn't ask questions, and he didn't worry that the Japanese government would renege on the debt. It's not 1941. Japan is still very honest in front of the British Empire, including the ongoing Russo-Japanese War. Without the support of the British government, Japan would not dare to follow the British Empire. Russia goes to war.

"I heard that the Japanese went to Owen and wanted to issue bonds in Johannesburg." Mrs. Capet was very well informed. If the Japanese want to issue bonds, they must ask Rand Bank for help. Banks often buy national bonds. This is very important investment business.

"The Japanese government has no money? It shouldn't be—" Rock almost laughed out loud. Japan has paid a bit too much this time, and the money blackmailed from the Qing Dynasty has probably been spent.

Historically, although Japan won the Russo-Japanese War, it was also burdened with heavy foreign debts because of the Russo-Japanese War. It was not until World War I that Japan turned around and changed from a debtor country to a creditor country.

This time and space is not necessarily the case. The development of southern Africa is also very fast now. In another ten years, if southern Africa can complete industrialization, when the world war breaks out, if Europe needs to purchase supplies, the first choice must be the United States, and the second The choice will be southern Africa, and it may be difficult for Japan to stand up.

Through the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War in 1895 and the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in 1900, Japan received a total of nearly 2.3 million taels of silver indemnity from the Qing Dynasty. The 6000 million in the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War was used by Japan to accelerate domestic industrialization However, the [-] million taels used by the Eight-Power Allied Forces to invade China is definitely not enough to pay for the Russo-Japanese War.

As soon as the cannon is fired, the Russo-Japanese War is worth ten thousand taels. Although the Russo-Japanese War has been fought for eight months, the end is far away. The Russo-Japanese War in another time and space lasted until September 1905. I don’t know how long the Russo-Japanese War will last in this time and space. Therefore, the Japanese government will continue to borrow heavily from foreign countries, and the pits it dug itself will have to be filled with tears in their eyes.

Roque definitely hopes that the war will last as long as possible. It would be better if Japan and Russia are exhausted. Although Roque did not graduate from the history department, Roque also knows that Japan and Russia are the Qing Dynasty in modern history. These disasters were eventually transferred to the Chinese by the Qing government, so Rock really hated them.

"No money is better—" Ada sneered.

Customers are God, and Ada shouldn’t treat her customers with this attitude, but Ada doesn’t like the Japanese government at all. Japan is a joke internationally. Everyone knows that the Meiji government relies on countless Japanese women to prostitute themselves. With the capital of the Meiji Restoration, this kind of country wants to gain respect internationally?

It's just a dream!

Rock and Ada were chatting happily, but they didn't notice that Arthur was standing up wobbly while holding onto the sofa. When Rock and Ada found out, Arthur had already walked several steps while holding onto the sofa.

"God, Arthur, you're amazing!" Ida was happy even after earning [-] million pounds.

Rock was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Even though Arthur just knew how to stand up, Rock felt like a grown-up child in my family. It was really comforting.

"Did you see Locke, Arthur can walk!" Ada wanted to share happiness with people all over the world.

Children are indeed capable of surprising people at any time.

"Of course, I saw—" Rock felt his throat tighten.

"Come here Arthur, come to Mommy—" Ada was so happy that she couldn't sit still on the sofa, knelt on the carpet and stretched out her hands to Arthur.

Rock didn't know if the ten-month-old child could understand the words, but when he saw Ada stretching out his hands, Arthur subconsciously walked towards Ada.

He was still laughing loudly.

Then garlic was mixed under his feet, and he squatted gorgeously.

Unscrupulous parents don't know how to help their children, and the two rolled happily on the carpet.

So Arthur didn't feel that wrestling was a shameful or dangerous thing. Perhaps the state of sitting on the ground was more suitable for Arthur. Arthur immediately forgot that he had just learned to walk, and crawled towards Ada with his hands and feet.

Ada, who was happily trying to tell the world just now, immediately looked disgusted, and put her feet against Arthur who was crawling over, not letting Arthur approach.

With a support point, Arthur supported Ada's feet to stand up, and this time Ada finally stretched out her hands again.

"You are really a little angel sent to me by God!" Ada hugged Arthur and began to kiss.

Arthur is probably used to his mother's capriciousness. The little guy who has just learned to walk is eager to explore the world. Seeing that he can't break free from Ada's arms, he lowers his head and bites Ada's hand.

"Oh!" Ada exclaimed, and when she raised her hand, she saw tooth marks on her hand: "Did you grow teeth secretly, let me see—"

This, shouldn't long teeth be the first to discover it?

Rock saw that Ada had completely recovered to a better body than before, and immediately understood his son's situation.

Poor Arthur, he probably hasn't had breastmilk for a few days since he was born.

However, this does not affect Arthur's healthy growth. There are a lot of maid nurses on Ada's side, and Arthur's nutrition is still guaranteed.

Treating Arthur, Ada definitely raised it extensively. At this moment, she was holding Arthur's mouth with her hand to see how rare it was. Arthur was very reluctant, and finally started crying.

The unscrupulous mother didn't feel sorry for her son, and happily showed it to Rock.

It is indeed a long tooth, or two, just nodded.

So in order to celebrate Arthur calling his mother, walking, and teething, Rock stayed with Ada all day.

Looking back and seeing Phyllis again, Roque felt like a "heartbreaker" in his heart.

As a result, Phyllis didn't even ask where Rock had been all day, and she was full of attention on the textile factory. She didn't know where Phyllis heard that Japan's textile industry was developing very well, so Phyllis Hope Rock can hire some weaving girls from Japan to come to Johannesburg.

"It's nonsense. If you need female weaving workers, you really don't need to go to Japan. Spinning flowers and weaving is simply instinctive for Chinese women—" Rock also realized this problem. There are so many outstanding female workers in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Immigrants come here.

"You mean that Chinese housewives know how to spin and weave. I can't, so I'm not qualified enough?" Phyllis immediately changed her face.

The temper of the pregnant woman is really elusive, just now she greeted Rock with a smile like a flower, but now she immediately turned her face.

"Of course not, your task is to be beautiful and beautiful, and my task is to be responsible for making money to support the family—" Rock responded so quickly, but unfortunately this sentence doesn't rhyme very well in English.

Phyllis immediately changed her face again, hugged Roque's neck and kissed Roque loudly on the face.

Ada and Arthur had just kissed a few hours ago. To be honest, if this kind of thing happened to other people, Rock would definitely scold the scumbag.

But put it on yourself—

Mmm, it smells so good.

"I'm serious. You don't need to go to Japan to hire female workers. You can hire them from the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas of the Qing Dynasty. The silk you use is all produced in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas of the Qing Dynasty. Japan's textile industry can only produce high-end goods, real high-quality goods. We still have to buy it from the Qing Dynasty." Rock explained earnestly, it is still very reliable when it is not scumbag.

"Then you go hire it. I found that the Qing Dynasty is really a great treasure, and there are surprises at any time." Phyllis is still very coaxing.

"It's not that the Qing Dynasty has surprises, but the Chinese can create surprises for you at any time." Rock corrected Felice's mistake. Those "surprises" in the Qing Dynasty actually had little to do with the Qing Dynasty. If it wasn't for the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese gave the world There will be more surprises.

When Rock sent a telegram to Liang Dingxin, he thought it would not be easy to hire high-level female workers from the Qing Dynasty.

As a result, the impact of industrialization on traditional handicrafts was beyond Roque's imagination. It is really not too easy to hire female workers at this time.
