Chapter 441 Blood Loss

The industrial revolution started from the textile industry. In the 18s, British textile worker James Hargreaves invented the "spinning jenny", and the world officially entered the era of industrial revolution.

The subversion of the traditional handicraft industry by industrialized production was revolutionary. High-end goods were less directly impacted. Medium and low-end goods had no power to fight back against the impact of industrial products. A large number of products began to enter the Qing Dynasty, and the traditional handicraft industry in the Qing Dynasty was basically destroyed overnight, so there were not too many traditional handicraft practitioners who were willing to come to Johannesburg.

It was at this time that Rock realized the problem.

In the past, Rock focused his immigration on the war-torn north of the Qing Dynasty, and never focused on the relatively stable and affluent south of the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at it now, the situation in the southern part of the Qing Dynasty is not optimistic either. Stability and wealth belong only to the elite class, and the life of common people, especially in cities, is very difficult.

This problem is easy to understand. Urban civilians do not have land and can only rely on work for a living. Once they lose their jobs to support their families, the life of urban civilians is even worse than that of long-term labor for landlords.

As far as the current situation of the Qing Dynasty is concerned, after the signing of the "Xin Chou Treaty", the Qing Dynasty has become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. There will be no eggs under the overturned nest, and the life of the southern civilians is not easy, so Rock can continue to immigrate from the south.

To put it bluntly, the northern part of the Qing Dynasty was devastated by the war. From top to bottom, people ran and died, and immigration companies kept poaching the wall. It's almost gone, and Rock also needs to open up new settlements to ensure the population growth of Nyasaland.

Population is very important at any time. If there are [-] million Chinese in Nyasaland, Rock will not be able to start a foreign war if he does not want to.

This is also the root cause of Rock's vigilance against the Zulu people. Now the Zulu people seem to be very obedient. That is because the overall number of Zulu people is still too small, and the natural resources of Basutoland can still feed the current Zulu people.

If the population of the Zulus increases rapidly to the point that the natural resources of Basutoland cannot be satisfied, the Zulus will have to go out of Basutoland to seek a larger living space.

This is why Rock is proud of being a member of the Chinese. If there is not enough food in a certain country in Europe, then this country will start to plunder.

If they are Chinese, when there is not enough food, they will do everything possible to increase production.

If it is in Africa, when there is not enough food in a certain country, it will start to eat people.

Therefore, the Chinese should become the most popular nation in the world, because the traditional core of Han culture is really excellent.

Now the Johannesburg City Government has understood this, so when it was voted to make Chinese the official language of Johannesburg some time ago, all the councilors voted in favor except for those stubborn guys. However, the fundamental reason is that the Chinese in Johannesburg deserve their votes for the hard work that Johannesburg has paid.

In Southern Africa, it's really a stark contrast, with Johannesburg and Orange starting to rebuild almost at the same time, Johannesburg doing better than ever, and Orange struggling.

In order to increase the population, the Transvaal has tried everything from top to bottom, and the effect is indeed there. However, those Europeans who came to Johannesburg only want to stay in the city, and no one wants to run a farm at all.

There is also a stark contrast between the Indians and the Zulus. The Indians will not leave without being whipped. The Zulus are not considered human beings in the Transvaal, so the Transvaal has no choice at all.

After visiting the Johannesburg Medical School, Yamaguchi Kisho hoped to send international students to study in the Johannesburg Medical School in the name of the Japanese government.

To this end, Kisho Yamaguchi put forward a very excessive request, hoping that the Johannesburg School of Medicine could provide scholarships for Japanese students.

Scholarships are very common in this era. While colonizing the world, European countries are also exporting culture and values ​​to the world, providing scholarships for foreign students from other countries, brainwashing foreign students and in turn affecting other countries. It has been commonly used until the 21st century means.

Douglas certainly thought so too.

"Don't even think about it. The places in the medical school are precious. We don't have enough of them. We don't have the resources to train the Japanese." Rock vetoed it. Johannesburg doesn't need to export culture to Japan. The Japanese have learned from the Chinese for thousands of years. Now He has become an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Even if the Japanese pay a high price to study at the Johannesburg Medical School, Rock will not accept it.

"Lord, providing a little scholarship to Japanese students will help us build a good relationship with the Japanese government, so that we can sell more goods to the Japanese government." Douglas is no longer a respectable scholar, but Transformed into a nasty politician and businessman.

A high IQ is indeed powerful. If you apply your IQ to your studies, you can excel, and you can use your IQ to excel in politics and business.

So those brothers who often say "If it were me, I can do it", please save it, the probability of a scumbag becoming a big brother in society is still a bit low, and a younger brother will always be a younger brother.

"Mr. Congressman, the Japanese government has no choice." Rock's address to Douglas has changed from "Professor" to "Mr. Congressman".

In theory, what Douglas said is correct, but Rock doesn't agree.

Under normal circumstances, giving the Japanese government some benefits and building a good relationship with the Japanese government is indeed more conducive to selling goods to the Japanese.

The crux of the problem is that Japan has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. The more they show favor to the Japanese, the more the Japanese will push their noses. Therefore, Rock will not give the Japanese government even a little bit of benefit, but will take it from the Japanese government. This will make the Japanese government respect Johannesburg from the bottom of its heart.

What's more, now the Japanese government has no choice at all. The war has been going on until now, and the Japanese government is close to running out of fuel. The whole world is begging grandpa and grandma to buy war materials. All countries in the world have a tacit understanding on this issue, and the war The price of all related materials has risen sharply in recent times. The price of weapons has soared twice compared to a year ago, and weapons that are almost scrapped can be sold for the price of new weapons, so Rock doesn't need them at all. To please the Japanese government, buy it or not.

As for the special medicine for treating trauma, Rock's attitude is more determined, and there will be many additional conditions when selling it to the Japanese.

This is also a common routine in European countries, and it was also learned by the Japanese later, and then the Japanese played this routine with great proficiency, and the blue is better than the blue.

"My lord, we have to take a long-term view - besides, it's better to call me a professor." Douglas said something that made Rock five thunderous.

Long term?

Rock's "sight" has reached a century later, is it long enough!

"Professor, Japan is a country that has studied with the Chinese for thousands of years. As you know, Japan has only made some progress in the past ten years. Then Japan can't wait to invade the Qing Dynasty, so don't look at this country. If you give them scholarships now, they will ask for interest-free loans and free aid in the future. Will you give them? If you don’t give them, the relationship will also deteriorate.” Rock patiently explained that the character of the Japanese will not be developed until the 21st century. It will be summed up, and Douglas certainly doesn't understand it now.

It is entirely possible to regard the rise of Japan as a history of blood and tears for the Chinese. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has relied on sucking blood from the Chinese to complete industrialization step by step.

After World War II, Japan's luck has not yet come to an end. Relying on the support of the Americans, Japan has gradually recovered its strength. Although Japan no longer has the right to wage war abroad at this time, the bad nature of the Japanese is also fully reflected in business. Such contract traps, all kinds of swindling and abduction, the Chinese have suffered too much from the Japanese.

This is actually a good thing. With such a good student by my side, sooner or later the Chinese will be trained to be invincible.

"Is that so?" Douglas looked shocked, obviously he just knew that the Japanese were this kind of stuff.

"It must be. I am Chinese, and I know the Japanese too well." Rock still couldn't help but bring private goods.

Not all Chinese understand the Japanese, especially after the Russo-Japanese War. The results of the war prompted many Chinese to reflect on why the Japanese were able to defeat Russia, while the Qing Dynasty was repeatedly defeated in foreign wars.

So at that time, the Qing Dynasty set off a wave of studying in Japan. Many people of insight among Chinese people took Japan as a study object to study in Japan, which also laid the root of the Japanese invasion of China.

The students who went to study in Japan were all young people. After they returned to China, they became the backbone of society in the 40s and [-]s. That's why there were so many traitors during the Japanese invasion of China.

If nothing else, Japan basically has no chance of invading Johannesburg, so there is no need for Rock to cultivate pro-China forces in Japan.

"Forget it. In this case, we have to increase the price of the product and get all the profits as much as possible." Douglas became fast, and found that there was no need to have a good relationship with the Japanese, and immediately began to sharpen his knife.

This is in line with the performance of qualified politicians and businessmen.

In fact, the price of drugs is already very high. Rock has never been involved in the drug industry before. Although he knows that the drug industry is profitable, he did not expect it to be so violent.

How did Marx say it: a [-]% profit will make people not afraid of committing crimes, even the danger of being hanged.

In the pharmaceutical industry, [-]% is simply a blood loss.
