Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 448 Changing clothes

Cody Priestley really thought about giving some of the profits from the gold mine to Rock or Stoudemire in exchange for the protection of Rock or Stoudemire.

This is not without precedent. Everyone knows that the gold mines in Johannesburg are very profitable, and how many local nobles and big capitals are staring at them. The "lonely and lonely" mines mainly want to keep their own wealth. backing.

De Beers Consolidated Mines owns nearly a third of the gold mines in Johannesburg, most of which come from this way.

"Cody, I think you misunderstood. We didn't want to take anything from you. After accepting the money, the gold mine is still yours. We will not interfere with the operation of the gold mine. Nothing has changed." Adam Stephen took a step back and became a shareholder of the Priestley Gold Mine first, and then other things can be done slowly.

"Impossible, Mr. Stephen, if you really want to buy it, fine, 100 million, 100 million pounds, the gold mine is yours." Cody Priestley also has his own calculations, 100 million pounds is probably about [-] million pounds. The two-year gross profit of the Listeri Gold Mine, if Arnold and Adam Stephen really come up with the money, then Cody Priestley can also sell the Gold Mine to them.

One million pounds is a huge amount of money in this era. You can buy a huge property in any country in the world. Cody Priestley is not short of money, but it is a matter of his dignity. Mine wants to hand over, and Cody Priestley should also get enough benefits.

"Hehe, Cody, I'm afraid you don't know yet, let alone 100 million pounds, they can't even pay the [-] pounds they promised before." Xiao Si laughed and walked in, Shi Shiran Sitting opposite Adam Stephen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Steven Hewlett just notified Rand Bank to freeze your account at Rand Bank. For the safety of customers, Rand Bank did not provide you with For relevant information, if I were you, I wouldn't waste precious time entangled in this issue."

Stoudemire is also a shareholder of Rand Bank, and he took the salary from the bottom of the pot, and immediately beat Arnold and Adam Stephen to the ground.

Although Arnold and Adam Stephen are very beautiful on the surface, in fact, compared with the mine owners in Johannesburg, these two guys are poor ghosts. They can't afford [-] pounds at all. The money was withdrawn by Adam Stephen from the account in charge of the gold mine. Strictly speaking, the money was stolen.

Steven Hewlett is the successor of Adam Stephen. When the new official takes office, he must take an inventory of the assets left by his predecessor, and then find that the money has disappeared, and then rule Rand Bank to take action.

Rand Bank adheres to the principle of "keeping the depositors' confidentiality". This is not just talk. Even if Adam Stephen stole the money, Rand Bank will not reveal Adam Stephen's secret. Only in this way can we win the trust of depositors.

"You disgusting thieves, you are so disgusting!" Cody Priestley was furious, this was actually a liar of two empty-handed wolves, but fortunately he was not fooled.

For Cody Priestley, Arnold and Adam Stephen can intimidate and lure, but facing Stoudemire, Arnold and Adam Stephen can't do anything.

After listening to Stoudemire's words, Adam Stephen's face was ugly, and he didn't bother, and left with Arnold immediately.

If he can't leave, Stoudemire can find Adam Stephen, and of course Steven Hewlett can also find him.

"Hello, Mr. Stephen, Your Highness asked me to say hello to you—" Steven Hewlett said surprisingly, Your Highness, that is to say, the benefactor behind Adam Stephen may be a certain prince or princess.

No wonder this guy has confidence.

Adam Stephen didn't have the courage to resist at all, he didn't even look at Arnold, and followed Steven Hewlett in the carriage and left.

Only Arnold was left stunned.

Stoudemire didn't pay attention to Arnold's interest, and didn't even go out to watch the excitement. He sat on a chair and watched Cody Priestley with a reserved smile.

Of course Cody Priestley knew what it meant. After a little thought, Cody Priestley made up his mind: "Mr. Rhodes, if possible, Priestley Gold Mine also wants to join De Beers Stanley Mining Company—”

This attitude is right, Stoudemire laughed and stood up, and gave Cody Priestley a warm hug: "Don't worry Cody, join De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, I can guarantee that there will be no more People dare to trouble you."

Stoudemire has this confidence, it's hard to say what Cody Priestley feels in his heart.

Joining the De Beers Unified Mining Company can indeed get the protection of Stoudemire, but on the other hand, Cody Priestley also lost his autonomy. In the future, the operation of the Priestley Gold Mine will have to obey The command of the De Beers Unified Mining Company, every month, Cody Priestley also pays a part of the profit of the gold mine to the De Beers Unified Mining Company. It is nominally a management fee, but it is actually a protection fee.

Arnold will never learn from the protection fees they charge.

Looking back, Rock was also very envious.

"Who told you not to come forward? If you are willing to come forward, then the Priestley Gold Mine is now part of the Locke Gold Mine. Maybe in a few years, you can also form a De Beers Unified Mining Company." Stoudemire Seemingly careless, what he said had no deep meaning.

"And then—" Rock didn't care at all. For Rock, there were many ways to make money, and there was no need to compete with Stoudemire.

Little Stu was so clever that he immediately understood what Roque meant, and raised his glass to Roque with a smile on his face: "I understand, thank you!"

Thank you indeed.

There can be no two tigers in one mountain. Johannesburg is big and small, and there can only be one giant like De Beers Consolidated Mining Company in Johannesburg. If Rock wants to form a company like De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, then Roque The interests of Ke and Stoudemire will directly conflict.

Rock doesn't want to affect the relationship with Stoudemire because of this matter. In the future, Nyasaland and Rhodesia will maintain a good relationship and keep warm together. If this matter causes the relationship between Rock and Stoudemire If it breaks, it's not worth the candle.

In the evening, Rock invited Siu to dinner at his home in Bigwig Town, and Henry also rushed back from Pretoria to join in the fun with Owen.

Phyllis's due date is approaching, and Roque will stay in Bigwig Township during this time. Roque has prepared a delivery room for Phyllis at home, with all the equipment and instruments. Dr. Kay Mallory brought Several of her students have already lived in Rock's house, ready to deliver Phyllis at any time.

The center of Rock's topic is the child who is about to be born.

"I'm going to be godfather without a doubt, I've got a birth gift ready, unlike some cheapskates who don't care about giving gifts, I've got a [-] acre estate in Pretoria The farm, if it’s not enough, I can add more.” Henry did his part, Roque is Paula’s godfather, and it’s normal for Henry to be the godfather of Rock’s child now.

Owen was a little envious, but he didn't speak. Among the few people, Rock and Henry had the deepest relationship. Even though Henry had been in Pretoria, it didn't affect the relationship with Rock.

Stoudemire is not in a hurry. Both Henry and Owen know about Arthur's existence, but they have a tacit understanding not to mention it, so Stoudemire has a better choice.

Because of Rock, Stoudemire has been exposed to a lot of traditional Chinese culture and knows the significance of the eldest son to the Chinese.

Although the eldest son is still different from the eldest son, Arthur is different. With a mother like Ada, sooner or later Arthur will be able to walk into Rock's house openly.

"You can't imagine the gift I prepared for Paula. What's so rare about the farm? If you want it, I'll give Paula all the farms in Rhodesia, as long as you don't regret it." Rock didn't like the farm , Roque was once the largest landowner in the Transvaal, and this title has now been given to Henry.

Most of the farms in Rock's hands were sold and distributed to the Chinese in Johannesburg.

Henry has always followed the rhythm of Rock. When Rock bought a farm in Johannesburg, Henry also bought the bottom in Pretoria. As a result, 60.00% of the farms around Pretoria belonged to Henry, so this guy is now Largest landowner in the Transvaal.

Don't forget, Fawalt is still Henry's fiefdom. When London gave Fawalt to Henry, Fawalt was still a barren land. Now Fawalt's heavy industry has become Rock's most powerful help in building Nyasaland propellant.

"What are you preparing for Paula?" Henry certainly cared about his daughter.

"I won't tell you—" Rock kept silent.

"Henry, Locke is lying to you. He didn't prepare anything." Owen has had too much contact with Rock during this time, and he knows Rock's habits very well.

"Bastard, how could poor Paula have such a godfather!" Henry regretted not falling.

"Speaking seriously, the Transvaal will fully implement the democratic representative system next year. Do you have any ideas?" Rock pulled the topic aside, not entangled in the issue of gifts.

According to the progress of the democratic representative system, at the end of next year, Adelaide's term of office is about to expire. At that time, the Transvaal will fully implement the democratic representative system. The Liberal Party will definitely do a big job next year. core.

"There is nothing to say, the Liberal Party will definitely win the final victory." Owen vowed, the Speaker of the Johannesburg Parliament, after all, is not as popular as the Speaker of the Transvaal Parliament.

"My lord, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Ma'am has been sent to the delivery room—" Zac's sister Bella rushed over to report, and Rock's mind immediately went blank.

Let's change clothes quickly!
